The carbon-ion beam (CIB) generated by the heavy-ion medical accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC) was targeted to 7-day-old rice. Physiological parameters such as growth, and gene expression profiles were examined immediately after CIB irradiation. Dose-dependent growth suppression was seen three days post-irradiation (PI), and all the irradiated plants died by 15 days PI. Microarray (Agilent rice 22K) analysis of the plants immediately after irradiation (iai) revealed effects on gene expression at 270 Gy; 353 genes were up-regulated and 87 down-regulated. Exactly the same set of genes was affected at 90 Gy. Among the highly induced genes were genes involved in information storage and processing, cellular processes and signaling, and metabolism. RT-PCR analysis confirmed the microarray data.

보온 밥솥에서 보관 중인 밥의 품질을 개선하기 위하여 기존의 밥솥보온 온도인 $75^{\circ}C$에 비하여 $45{\sim}65^{\circ}C$로 반복 순환시켜 낮게 유지시켰다. 이렇게 낮게 유지시켰을 때 미생물의 오염, 밥의 변색, 환원당의 생성에 관하여 연구를 진행하였다. B. cereus와 B. subtilis는 $45{\sim}65^{\circ}C$와 $75^{\circ}C$에서 모두 사멸되었다. E. coli는 $75^{\circ}C$에서는 약간의 colony forming unit의 증가가 있었으나 $45{\sim}65^{\circ}C$ 반복 순환 온도에서는 증식이 거의 없었다. CIE 변수인 황변도(${\Delta}b$) 값의 변화는 3일간의 저장에서 $45{\sim}65^{\circ}C$에서는 2.18이 $75^{\circ}C$에서는 9.12 증가 되었다. 환원당의 경우 미생물의 증식이 없었던 $45{\sim}65^{\circ}C$와 $75^{\circ}C$에서 모두 생성되지 않았다. 결론적으로 밥의 $45{\sim}65^{\circ}C$에서 저장은 기존의 $75^{\circ}C$에 비하여 미생물의 증식을 막고, 3일간의 저장에서 4.2배의 갈변을 감소시켜 품질의 저하를 방지하는데 우수하였다.

1988년부터 2009 년까지 강원도 춘천지역에서 수행된 벼 작황조사시혐의 오대벼와 일품벼 관련 기상요소 및 조사성적을 바탕으로 각 기상요소가 벼 생육 및 수량에 미친 영향을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같았다. 벼 출수기, 간장, $m^2$당 수수 및 수당립수는 품종 및 생육 단계별로 다소 차이는 있었지만 대제로 총수기 까지의 일평균 기온, 강수량, 일조시간, 기온일교차, 풍속 및 상대습도의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 출수기는 일평균 기온과 상대습도의 영향을, 간장, $m^2$당 수수 및 수당립수는 일교차 의 영향을 가장 크게 받은 것으로 나타났다. 벼 등숙율, 천립중 및 쌀 수량은 벼 출수기 부터 40 일간의 일평균 기온, 기온일교차, 강수량, 일조시간에 대하여 오대벼와 일품벼가 전혀 다른 반용을 보였으나, 풍속 및 상대습도에 대해서는 대체로 비슷한 영향을 받은 것으로 나타났는데, 그 중에서 쌀 수량은 풍속이 높을수록, 상대습도가 낮을수록 높은 경향을 보였다. 풍속과 상대습도는 기온, 기온일교차, 일조량 등에 비해 상대적으로 벼 생육과 수량에 미치는 영향이 적은 것으로 인식되었기 때문에, 지금까지의 국내 벼 연구에서는 거의 다루어지지 않았으나, 본 연구에서 상대습도가 낮고 바람이 충분한 환경에서 벼는 활발한 증산 작용과 광합성을 통해 수량이 증가되는 것으로 나타났다.

An in vitro gas production system was used to investigate the influence of various substrate mixtures on a natural mix of rumen microbes by measurement of fermentation end-products. The treatments were combinations of cassava (15.0, 30.0 and 45.0%) with different roughage sources (ruzi grass, rice straw or urea treated rice straw). Microbial biomass, net $^{15}N$ incorporation into cells, volatile fatty acid production, gas volume and rate of gas production increased linearly with increasing levels of cassava inclusion. There was also an effect of roughage source, with rice straw being associated with the lowest values for most parameters whilst similar values were obtained for ruzi grass and urea treated rice straw. The results suggest that microbial growth and fermentation rate increase as a function of readily available carbohydrate in the substrate mixture. A strong linear relationship between $^{15}N$ enrichment, total volatile fatty acid production and gas production kinetics support the suggestion of the use of the in vitro gas production system as a tool for screening feedstuffs as an initial stage of feed evaluation.

This study was conducted to examine the physiological and biochemical responses against UV-B radiation in the seedling of 15 different rice cultivars, having the different physiological sensitivities. Out of 15 rice cultivars tested, moderate and susceptible groups showed significant decreases in biomass and RGR (relative growth rate). Contents of total chlorophyll were reduced remarkedly by irradiation of UV-B. In all rice cultivars tested, the content of chlorophyll a was strongly decreased, while the contents of chlorophyll b were slightly reduced without showing clear different among three groups and 15 cultivars. Carotenoid content was largely reduced by UV-B radiation, whereas polyamine content was moderately increased. The contents of MDA (malondialdehyde) that reflect the level of lipid peroxidation of cell membranes were clearly increased by UV-B stress, showing higher content in susceptible cultivars than moderate and torelant cultivars. The physiological important parameters highly related to visible injury were leaf color, chlorophyll, carotenoid, and lipid peroxidation, whereas biomass and polyamines were not closely correlated. Based on this results, it was concluded that changes of visible injury and the contents of chlorophyll and MDA could be adequately applied and utilized as physiological indicators to UV-B radiation.

In order to examine the mechanistic basis for differential sensitivities to chilling and subsequent recovery between two rice (Oryza sativa L.) cutivars, a chilling-tolerant japonica type (Ilpumbyeo) and a chilling-susceptible indica type (Taebaekbyeo), changes of physiological responses and antioxidant enzymes were investigated. Both cultivars at 3 leaf stage were exposed at a low temperature of $5^{\circ}C$ for 3 days and subsequently recovered in a growth chamber at a $25^{\circ}C$ for 5 days with 250 mmol $m^{-2}$ $s^{-1}$. Physiological parameters such as leaf fresh weight, relative water content, cellular leakage, lipid peroxidation, and chlorophyll a fluorescence showed that the chilling tolerant cultivar had a high tolerance during chilling. However, the chilling-susceptible cultivar revealed severe chilling damages. The chilling-tolerant cultivar was also faster in recovery than the chilling-susceptible cultivar in all parameters examined. We analyzed the activity and isozyme profiles of four antioxidant enzymes which are: superoxide dismutase (SOD), caltalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutation reductase (GR). We observed that chilling-tolerance was due to a result of the induced or higher antioxidant enzyme system, CAT and APX in leaves and SOD, CAT, APX, and GR in roots. Especially, we observed the most significant differences between the chilling-tolerant cultivar and -susceptible cultivar in CAT and APX activity. Also in isozyme profiles, CAT and APX band intensity in the chilling-tolerant cultivar was distinctively higher than in the chilling-susceptible cultivars during chilling and recovery. Thus, the cold stability of CAT and APX are expected to contribute to a tolerance mechanism of chilling in rice plants. In addition, the antioxidative enzymes activity in roots may be more important than in that of leaves to protect chilling damage on rice plants.

Spikelet number per unit area(SPN) is a major determinant of rice yield. Nitrogen nutrition status and biomass during reproductive stage determine the SPN. To formulate a model for estimating SPN, the 93 field experiment data collected from widely different regions with different japonica varieties in Korea and Japan were analyzed for the upper boundary lines of SPN responses to nitrogen nutrition index(NNI), shoot dry weight and shoot nitrogen content at panicle initiation and heading stage. The boundary lines of SPN showed asymptotic responses to all the above parameters(X) and were well fitted to the exponential function of $f(X)=alphacdot{1-etacdotexp(gamma;cdot;X)}$. Excluding the constant, from the boundary line equation, the values of the equation range from 0 to 1 and represent the indices of parameters expressing the degree of influence on SPN. In addition to those indices, the index of shoot dry weight increase during reproductive stage was calculated by directly dividing the shoot dry weight increase by the maximum value ($800 extrm{g/m}^{-2}$) of dry weight increase as it showed linear relationship with SPN. Four indices selected by forward stepwise regression at the stay level of 0.05 were those for NNI ($I_{NNI}_P$) at panicle initiation, NNI($I_{NNI}_h$) and shoot dry weight($I_{DW}_h$) at heading stage, and dry weight increase($I_{DW}$) between those two stages. The following model was obtained: SPN=48683ㆍ $I_{DWH}$$^{0.482}$ㆍ $I_{NNIp}$$^{0.387}$ㆍ $I_{NNIH}$$^{0.318}$ㆍ $I_{DW}$ $^{0.35}$). This model accounted for about 89% of the variation of spikelet number. In conclusion this model could be used for estimating the spikelet number of japonica rice with some confidence in widely different regions and thus, integrated into a rice growth model as a component model for spikelet number estimation.n.n.

This experiment was conducted on rice (cv. 2005 Thaoi) seeds to study whether priming with deep sea water (DSW) results in enhancement of seed emergence and seedling growth and to identify the optimum concentration of Deep Sea Water (DSW) for priming. Two experiments were conducted subsequently. In experiment 1, four concentrations of the DSW (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%), and in experiment 2, five concentrations of DSW (10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%) were prepared and seeds were primed for 24 hours duration at $25^{\circ}C$. Beside this, hydro priming with plain water was also included as a control. Experiments were laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. Result showed that 20% DSW seed priming treatment had improved the emergence, seedling height, number of roots and root length as compare to other with DSW or without DSW treatments. Beyond 20% DSW priming (i.e. 25%, 30% and 40%) were not suitable for priming the seed. On the basis of seedlings growth parameters; emergence, seedling height, root number and length, and shoot root ratio, 20% DSW priming was the best priming treatment.

Background: The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of rice bran oil (RBO) on growth performance, blood parameter, and immune response in broiler chickens. Methods: A total of 240 1-d-old ROSS 308 male broilers were randomly allotted to 4 dietary treatments with six replicated pens consisting of ten chicks. The basal diet was formulated to be adequate in energy and nutrients. Three additional diets were prepared by adding 5, 10 or 20 g/kg of RBO to the basal diet. The experimental diets were fed on an ad libitum basis to the birds during 35 d. Results: Results indicated that increasing inclusion level of RBO in diets improved BW gain (linear and quadratic, P < 0.01), improve feed conversion ratio (linear, P < 0.05) of birds during 0 to 35 d. There was no effect of inclusion level of RBO in diets on feed intake of birds. There was no effect of inclusion level of RBO in diets on erythrocytes of birds. However, heterophil, lymphocyte, and monocytes increased (linear and quadratic, P < 0.01) with inclusion level of RBO in diets increased. Feeding the diets containing increasing amount of RBO to birds increased (linear, P < 0.01) the concentrations of total cholesterol. Increasing inclusion level of RBO in diets increased concentrations of IgG (linear, P < 0.01). There was no effect of inclusion level of RBO in diets on concentrations of IgM. Conclusions: These results suggest that dietary RBO may be used functional ingredient to improve growth performance, total cholesterol in serum, and immune response of birds.

본 논문은 지표면 현상의 관측에 날씨의 영향을 거의 받지 않는 마이크로파 L-밴드(1.95 GHz)와 C-밴드(5.3 GHz) scatterometer 시스템을 이용하여 농업과학기술원 내의 논에서 자라는 추청벼를 대상으로 2006년 5월 29일부터 10월 9일까지 생육에 따른 군락의 후방산란계수를 관측한 데이터와 작물의 생육과의 관계를 살펴보고 또한, 측정 시스템의 개요, 측정 시스템의 보정 방법들을 기술하고자 한다. Scatterometer 시스템의 송수신기로 HP 8753D 벡터 네트워크 분석기를 사용하며, 타워 위에 안테나를 설치하여 3.4 m의 높이에서 측정하도록 하였다. L-밴드와 C-밴드 scatterometer는 VV-, VH-, HV-, HH-편파를 측정하여 fully polarimetric한 데이터를 얻도록 설계된 레이더시스템으로 입사각을 $30^{\circ}{\sim}60^{\circ}$에서 $10^{\circ}$간격으로 각각 30개의 독립적인 샘플을 측정하여 통계적으로 후방산란계수를 얻었다. 타워에서 발생하는 전파 잡음과 안테나 패턴의 부엽에 의한 지면에서의 수직반사(coherent 성분) 전파를 제거하기 위해 네트워크 분석기의 time gating 기능을 사용하며, 55 cm 크기의 trihedral 전파반사기를 보정용 반사기로 사용하고, STCT(single target calibration technique) 방법을 이용하여 시스템을 보정하였다. 측정 결과를 분석하여 주파수, 입사각도, 편파의 변화에 대한 벼의 후방산란 특성과 벼의 생육상태와의 관계를 살펴보았다. L-밴드와 C-밴드 모두 벼의 생육과 밀접한 결과를 나타내었으나, 입사각이 작을 때는 C-밴드와의 상관이 높게 나타났고 입사각이 커질수록 L-밴드와의 상관이 높게 나타났다. 편파는 L-밴드와 C-밴드 모두 hh 편파가, 입사각은 50도에서 가장 생육의 변이를 잘 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 생육 데이터 모두를 이용한 경우보다는 유수형성기 또는 출수기 등 벼 생육의 질적인 변화를 보이는 시기에 따라 나누어 분석하는 것이 변화추이를 더 잘 설명하는 것으로 나타났다.
