The present study was conducted to investigate the antimutagenic potential of the methanolic extract from the leaves of sweet potato (Ipomea batatas, IB) with the SOS chromotest (umu test) and Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 and TA 100. The anticarcinogenic effects were also studied by calculation of the $IC_{50}$ on human cancer cell lines and investigating the function of gap junction in rat liver epithelial cells. The IB extract inhibited dose-dependently the ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity induced spontaneously at concentration of more than 200 mg/ml in S. typhimurium TA 1535/pSK 1002, and decreased significantly (p < 0.01) the ${\beta}$-galactosidase activities induced by mutagen 6-chloro-9-[3-(2-chloroethylamino)proylamino]-2-methoxyacridine dihydrochloride (ICR) at dose of more than 0.4 mg/0.1 ml. The IB extract showed no effect on the spontaneous reversions of S. typhimurium TA 98 and 100 but benzo(${\alpha}$)pyrene (BaP)-stimulated reversions were decreased dose-dependently (p < 0.01) at the concentration of more than 100 mg/ml. The $IC_{50}$ value of stomach cancer cells was lower than that of normal rat liver epithelial cells, but the values of colon and uterine cancer cell lines were similar to those of normal rat liver epithelial cells. The transfer of dye through gap junctions was not affected by treatment of the IB extracts at any concentration during treatment periods. The simultaneously treatment of IB extract and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) effectively prevented the inhibition of dye transfer induced by TPA 1 hour after treatment at all exposed concentrations. The number of gap junctions was significantly (p < 0.01) increased by the treatment with IB extract at concentrations of more than 40 ${\mu}g$/ml. The inhibition of the expression of gap junction proteins by TPA (0.01 ${\mu}g$/ml) was recovered dose dependently by the simultaneous treatment of IB extracts. Our data suggest that Ipomea batatas has antimutagenic and anticarcionogenic activity in vitro.

임의증폭 다형 DNA(RAPD)와 미토콘드리아 12S, 16S rRNA 유전자의 제한단편 DNA 표식자에 의해 한국에서 발생하는 담배가루이 개체군들의 biotype을 판별하였다. 진천의 장미 온실과 서울 내곡동의 포인세티아 온실에서 발생한 담배가루이는 일본, 이스라엘, 호주의 B biotype 과 동일한 DNA 단편들을 보유하였다. 여러 지역의 노지 콩 (Glycine max), 고구마 (Ipomea batatas), 들깨 (Perilla frutescens)에서 채집된 담배가루이 개체군들은 일본 시코쿠의 인동덩굴(Lonicera japonica)에서 채집된 담배가루이와 같은 DNA로 표식되었다. 이들 non-B biotype은 한국, 일본 등 극동아시아 지역에 고유한 계통으로 보인다. 최근 한국에서 발견된 담배가루이 Bemisia tabaci(Gennadius)의 주사전자현미경 관찰에 의한 형태적 특정을 온실 원예작물의 주요해충인 온실가루이 Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood)와 비교하여 기재하였다.

The Sweet potato chlorotic fleck virus (SPCFV), of the genus Carlavirus (family Betaflexiviridae), was first detected as one of several viruses infecting sweet potatoes (Ipomea batatas L.) in Korea. Out of 154 sweet potato samples collected in 2012 that were showing virus-like symptoms, 47 (31%) were infected with SPCFV, along with other viruses. The complete genome sequences of four SPCFV isolates were determined and analyzed using previously reported genome sequences. The complete genomes were found to contain 9,104-9,108 nucleotides, excluding the poly-A tail, containing six putative open reading frames (ORFs). Further, the SPCFV Korean isolates were divided into two groups (Group I and Group II) by phylogenetic analysis based on the complete nucleotide sequences; Group I and Group II had low nucleotide sequence identities of about 73%. For the first time, we determined the complete genome sequence for the Group II SPCFV isolates. The amino acid sequence identity in coat proteins (CP) between the two groups was over 90%, whereas the amino acid sequence identity in other proteins was less than 80%. In addition, SPCFV Korean isolates had a low amino acid sequence identity (61% CPs and 47% in the nucleotide-binding protein [NaBp] region) to that of Melon yellowing-associated virus (MYaV), a typical Carlavirus.

Sweet potatoes (Ipomea batatas L.) are grown extensively, in tropical and temperate regions, and are important food crops worldwide. In Korea, potyviruses, including Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV), Sweet potato virus C (SPVC), Sweet potato virus G (SPVG), Sweet potato virus 2 (SPV2), and Sweet potato latent virus (SPLV), have been detected in sweet potato fields at a high (~95%) incidence. In the present work, complete genome sequences of 18 isolates, representing the five potyviruses mentioned above, were compared with previously reported genome sequences. The complete genomes consisted of 10,081 to 10,830 nucleotides, excluding the poly-A tails. Their genomic organizations were typical of the Potyvirus genus, including one target open reading frame coding for a putative polyprotein. Based on phylogenetic analyses and sequence comparisons, the Korean SPFMV isolates belonged to the strains RC and O with >98% nucleotide sequence identity. Korean SPVC isolates had 99% identity to the Japanese isolate SPVC-Bungo and 70% identity to the SPFMV isolates. The Korean SPVG isolates showed 99% identity to the three previously reported SPVG isolates. Korean SPV2 isolates had 97% identity to the SPV2 GWB-2 isolate from the USA. Korean SPLV isolates had a relatively low (88%) nucleotide sequence identity with the Taiwanese SPLV-TW isolates, and they were phylogenetically distantly related to SPFMV isolates. Recombination analysis revealed that possible recombination events occurred in the P1, HC-Pro and NIa-NIb regions of SPFMV and SPLV isolates and these regions were identified as hotspots for recombination in the sweet potato potyviruses.

고구마의 식품특성에 변화 없이 발아를 억제할 수 있는 물리적 처리법으로 전자빔의 적용가능성을 조사하였다. 전자빔 조사 후 12와 $25^{\circ}C$에 저장된 모든 대조구와 전자빔이 조사된 중간층(7-12 cm)과 하층(12-17 cm)에 위치하는 고구마는 저장 후 6주와 4주에 각각 발아가 시작되었다. 12와 $25^{\circ}C$에 저장된 고구마의 발아율은 저장기간의 경과, 조사선량의 감소, 전자빔과 고구마 간 간격의 증가와 함께 증가하였고 발아율은 12와 $25^{\circ}C$ 저장 후 8주에서 각각 대조구 11.2-12.4와 70.5-74.2%, 전자빔 조사구 8.6-11.3과 42.7-48.7% 이었다. 한편, $4^{\circ}C$에 저장된 모든 고구마와 전자빔 조사 후 12와 $25^{\circ}C$에 저장된 상층(0-7 cm)에 위치한 고구마의 발아는 peroxidase와 indole acetic acid (IAA) oxidase의 활성증가로 인해 완전히 억제되었다. 또한 전자빔이 조사된 모든 시료는 경도, pH, 당도, 중량감소, vitamin C 함량 및 ${\beta}$-carotene 함량에 있어서 대조구와 현저한 차이가 없었다. 따라서 고구마를 박스에 포장하기 전 0.1 kGy 이상의 전자빔 조사 시 $25^{\circ}C$에 저장하여도 식품특성에 변화 없이 발아를 효과적으로 억제할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
