The study of germination and seedling growth characteristics of Neem under different soil and environment conditions was undertaken. The seed germination started 8 days after sowing in commercial bed soil, whereas, delayed germination was observed in sandy-loam (15 days) and sandy (19 days) soil. The highest germination (73.33%) was observed in commercial bed soil in green house, whereas, the lowest germination was observed in sandy soil (16.67%) and sandy-loam soil (8.33%). The seeds in the open field (sandy soil) also showed poor (10%) germination. The mean number of germination seed/day (GD) and seed germination vigor rate (GV) both were highest in the commercial bed soil with 0.733% and 16.67% respectively in the green house, whereas sandy and sandy-loam soil in green house and open field (sandy soil) all showed much lower GD and GV values. The seedling characteristics of nursery revealed that the seedling grown in the growth chamber in commercial bed soil was significantly higher in all the parameters comparing to others grown in green house and open field. The growth was nearly 7 fold in the chamber compared to that of the green house nursery observed in three months old seedlings. Likewise, HPLC analysis revealed that the green house grown seedling contain higher quantity of pigments compare to the chamber grown seedlings. Among the soils used the commercial soil alone or in combination with sandy and sandy-loam soil in the ratio of 2:1:1 respectively with the temperature of $27{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ showed better for Neem nursery preparation.

Novel meat-inspired products, such as cell-cultivated meat and meat analogues, embrace environmental sustainability, food safety and security, animal welfare, and human health, but consumers are still hesitant to accept these products. The appearance of food is often the most persuasive determinant of purchasing decisions for food. Producing cultivated meat and meat analogues with similar characteristics to conventional meat could lead to increased acceptability, marketability, and profitability. Color is one of the sensorial characteristics that can be improved using color-inducing methods and colorants. Synthetic colorants are cheap and stable, but natural pigments are regarded as safer components for novel food production. The complexity of identifying specific colorants to imitate both raw and cooked meat color lies in the differences in ingredients and methods used to produce meat alternatives. Research devoted to improving the sensorial characteristics of meat analogues has noted various color-inducing methods (e.g., ohmic cooking and pasteurization) and additives (e.g., lactoferrin, laccase, xylose, and pectin). Additionally, considerations toward other meat components, such as fat, can aid in mimicking conventional meat appearance. For instance, the use of plant-based fat replacers and scaffolds can produce a marked sensory enhancement without compromising the sustainability of alternative meats. Moving forward, consumer-relevant sensorial characteristics, such as taste and texture, should be prioritized alongside improving the coloration of meat alternatives.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of various plant-derived carotenoid extracts on growth parameters and skin coloration of golden trevally (Gnathanodon speciosus). Five groups of fish were fed diets containing carotenoid sources from the petal extracts of the leopard tree (Caesalpinia ferrea), wild sunflower (Tithonia diversifolia), marigold (Tagetes erecta), yellow bells (Tecoma stans), Wedelia chinensis (Wedelia chinensis), along with a control group, each diet had a carotenoid concentration of 0.25 g/kg feed. The diets were based on the same fundamental ingredients and administered for 56 days. Results showed significant differences in growth parameters among the different diets, with wild sunflower and marigold petal extracts proving most effective in enhancing the skin coloration of golden trevally. High yellow (CIE b^*), ranging from 17.2 to 18.8, were observed (Minolta CR-400), compared to only 12.2 ± 0.34 in the control group. Additionally, the carotenoid content in the tissue of the various groups differed significantly (p < 0.05), with the highest level of carotenoids (71.2 ± 2.9 ㎍/g tissue) detected in the fish skin of the dietary marigold flower group (UV-visible spectrophotometry). It is suggested that the petals of wild sunflowers and marigolds can efficiently improve body pigmentation and growth performance in golden trevally, indicating that these plant-derived carotenoids may have potential applications in aquaculture.

천연하천수는 다면적인 용도를 지니는 귀중한 천연자원이다. 선진국가에서의 예를 들지않드라도 우리의 사회생활이 발전함에 따라 물의 용도는 너무나 다양하게 요구되는 것이며, 이로 인한 수많은 오염요소는 물과 그 속의 천연자원을 파괴하는 현상이 현저하게 나타나게 된다. 천연자원은 그 자체가 지니고 있는 속성을 충분히 활용하면서 효과적으로 이용해야 할것이고 또 그 자원은 항구적인 보존책이 강구되어야 할 것이다. 우리나라에도 적지않은 하천수계가 있으나 그 활용은 아직은 미미한 상태에 있다. 하천수를 포함한 내수면의 수산업적이용도 그 중의 중요한 부분을 차지하는 것이니, 각하천수계의 어업생물학적조사, 수질조사를 비롯하여 식용어, 유어자원 또는 유용생물자원의 함양은 시급하게 착수되어야 할 중요한 과제라고 하겠다.

Plant genomes include heterochromatic loci that consist of repetitive sequences and transposable elements. LTR retrotransposon is the major class of transposons in advanced plants in terms of proportion in plant genome. The elements contribute not only to genome size but also to genome stability and gene expression. A number of cases have been reported transposon insertions near genic regions affect crop traits such as fruit pigments, stress tolerance, and yields. Functional LTR retrotransposons produce extrachromosomal DNA from genomic RNA by reverse transcription that takes place within virus-like-particles (VLPs). DECREASED DNA METHYLATION 1 (DDM1) plays important roles in maintaining DNA methylation of heterochromatin affecting all sequence contexts, CG, CHG, and CHH. Previous studies showed that ddm1 mutant exhibits massive transcription of retrotransposons in Arabidopsis, but only few of them were able to create new insertions into the genome. RNA-dependent RNA POLYMERASE 6 (RDR6) is known to function in restricting accumulation of transposon RNA by processing the transcripts into 21-22 nt epigenetically activated small interfering RNA (easiRNA). We purified VLPs and sequence cDNA to identify functional LTR retrotransposons in Arabidopsis ddm1 and ddm1rdr6 plants. Over 20 LTR copia and gypsy families were detected in ddm1 and ddm1rdr6 sequencing libraries and most of them were not reported for mobility. In ddm1rdr6, short fragments of ATHILA gypsy elements were detected. It suggests easiRNAs might regulate reverse transcription steps. The highest enriched element among transposon loci was previously characterized EVADE element. It has been reported that active EVADE element is more efficiently silenced through female germline than male germline. By genetic analyses, we found ddm1 and rdr6 mutation affect maternal silencing of active EVADE elements. DDM1-GFP protein accumulated in megaspore mother cell but was not found in mature egg cell. The fusion protein was also found in early embryo and maternal DDM1-GFP allele was more dominantly expressed in the embryo. We observed localization of DDM1-GFP in Arabidopsis and DDM1-YFP in maize and found the proteins accumulated in dividing zone of root tips. Currently we are looking at cell cycle dependency of DDM1 expression using maize system. Among 10 AGO proteins in Arabidopsis, AGO9 is specifically expressed in egg cell and shoot meristematic cells. In addition, mutation of AGO9 and RDR6 caused failure in maternal silencing, implying 21-22 nt easiRNA pathway is important for retrotransposon silencing in female gametophyte or/and early embryo. On the other hand, canonical 24 nt sRNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathways did not contribute to maternal silencing as confirmed by this study. Heat-activated LTR retrotransposon, ONSEN, was not silenced by DDM1 but the silencing mechanisms require RdDM pathways in somatic cells. We will propose distinct mechanisms of LTR retrotransposons in germline and somatic stages.

영농형 태양광은 동일 토지면적에서 태양광 패널에 의한 발전과 작물 경작을 융합한 시스템이다. 광 에너지가 부족한 영농형 태양광 하부에서 작물의 수확량이 감소하는 것은 필연적이나, 이를 관장하는 패널 하부에서 생육한 작물의 광합성 반응에 대해서는 국내외적으로 거의 알려진 바가 없다. 본 연구는 고정형 영농형 태양광 시설 하부에서 재배된 작물 잎에 흡수된 광에너지가 광합성 반응 중심에 전달되고 열로 방출되는 효율을 엽록소 형광 관측을 통해 조사하였다. 패널 하부와 노지의 콩과 벼는 ETR에서 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 보아 광인산화 효율보다는 잎이 흡수한 광 에너지에 따라 CO₂ 고정량이 결정되는 것으로 보인다. 또한, 패널 하부의 콩과 벼는 노지보다 NPQ가 더 높은 것으로 보아 활성화된 광보호기작이 광인산화로의 에너지 분배에 부정적 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 향후 영농형 태양광에서의 작물 생산량과 광합성의 관계를 이해하기 위해 보다 다양한 기후 및 재배조건에서의 광합성 반응을 조사할 필요가 있겠다.

최근 건강기능성 식용유에 대한 선호도가 높아지면서 저온압착(cold-pressing) 유채유에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 저온압착 유채유는 정제유에 비해 기름 고유의 맛과 향을 느낄 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 산성백토를 이용한 저온압착 유채유의 탈색과정에서 산성백토의 첨가량, 처리시간 및 반응온도에 따른 탈색 후 이화학적 특성과 품질특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 이화학적 특성으로 색차(명도, 적색도, 황색도)를 조사하였고, 품질특성은 chlorophyll-A 와 carotenoid 함량, 지방산 조성, 토코페롤(${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, ${\gamma}$, ${\delta}$), 및 식물성 스테롤(${\beta}$-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol)을 분석하였다. 먼저 산성백토(DC-SUPER)의 첨가량(1, 2, 3%)에 따른 저온압착 유채유의 색도변화를 관찰한 결과, DC-SUPER 첨가량 2%에서 탈색 1시간 후 유채유의 색도가 갈색에서 연노랑으로 옅어졌다. 본 결과를 바탕으로 총 3종의 산성백토(DC-SUPER, DC-A3, 및 P1)에 대해 첨가량 2%를 기준으로 처리시간(20, 40, 60, 80분) 증가에 따른 색차를 조사한 결과, 처리시간 20분 경과 후부터 대조구 대비 명도(L)는 증가하였고, 적색도(a)와 황색도(b)는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 산성백토 DC-SUPER 2% 첨가 후, 반응온도(40, 80, $120^{\circ}C$) 증가에 따른 색차를 조사한 결과, L값과 a값은 큰 변화를 보이지 않았으나, b값은 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 특히, 반응온도 $40^{\circ}C$에서 처리시간 20분 이내에 클로로필 A와 카로티노이드는 대부분 제거되었고, 토코페롤 함량도 현저히 감소하였다. 탈색 전 저온압착 유채유의 총 토코페롤 함량은 46.62mg/100g이나, 탈색 후 총 토코페놀은 12.67mg/100g(20분 탈색), 15.31mg/100g(40분 탈색), 13.56mg/100g(60분 탈색)로 나타나, 약 50% 이상 감소하였다. 탈색 후 ${\alpha}$-토코페롤과 ${\delta}$-토코페롤의 함량 감소가 매우 컸고, ${\gamma}$>${\beta}$>${\alpha}$>${\delta}$-토코페롤의 순으로 포함되어 있었다. 하지만 탈색 전 후에 저온압착 유채유의 식물성 스테롤 함량은 큰 변화가 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 산성백토 이용 저온압착 유채유 탈색시 색도를 향상시킴을 확인하였으며, 영양학적으로 우수한 총 토코페롤 등이 감소한 바 향후 이를 보완 할 수 있는 연구가 필요하다.
