The abnormal content of blood lipids often results in metabolic diseases, such as hyperlipidemia and obesity. Many agents, including natural sources from traditional food, have been developed to regulate the blood lipid contents. In this study, we examined the anti-hyperlipidemic activity of Rhynchosia nulubilis seeds pickled with brown rice vinegar (RNSpBRV), a Korean traditional pickled soybean food. Since RNSpBRV is made of R. nulubilis seeds (RNS) soaked in brown rice vinegar (BRV), we compared the anti-adipogenic activity between RNS, BRV and solid fraction of RNSpBRV (SF-RNSpBRV), liquid fraction of RNSpBRV (LF-RNSpBRV). For this, the inhibitory effect of lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocyte was checked by adding methanol extracts of mixed RNS and BRV, LF-RNSpBRV, and SF-RNSpBRV. The addition of each methanol extract up to 1 mg/ml showed no cytotoxicity on 3T3-L1 adipocyte, and approximately 20% of the lipid droplet formation was suppressed with the methanol extract of BRL or SF-RNSpBRV. The highest suppression (42.1%) was achieved with LF-RNSpBRV. In addition, mice fed a high fat diet (HFD) supplemented with 5% RNSpBRV powder led to increased high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and lower blood glucose, triglyceride, and total cholesterol compared to mice fed with a HFD diet only. Interestingly, the size of the epididymis cells gradually decreased in HFD + 1% RNSpBRV and HFD + 5% RNSpBRV-fed mice if compared those of HFD-fed mice. Taken together, these results provide evidence that RNSpBRV has a regulatory role in lipid metabolism that is related to hyperlipidemia.

통일품종이 가지는 도열병 저항성의 요인을 구명하기 위하여 수도체내에 함유하는 질소, 규산 및 Flavonoid함량을 분석하고 시비수준을 달리하여 재배한 풍광에서 이들 성분함량이 도열병 발병율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 1. 수도체내 규산과 Flavonoid 함량은 질소 시비량과 반비례하고 규산 시비량과는 정비례하여 증가하였다. 2. 도열병 상습답에서의 도열병 발병율은 체내 질소함량에 정비례하고 규산함량에 반비례하였다. 3. 도열병에 대하여 저항성인 통일에서는 저항성의 요인이 되는 규산 및 Flavonoid의 체내함량이 이병성인 풍광에 비하여 현저히 높았다. 4. 규화세포의 수는 고엽일수록 많고 생육의 진전에 따라 증가하였으며 풍광에서 보다는 통일에서 현저히 높았다. 5. 이들 체내 성분의 함량은 통일이 갖는 도열병 저항성의 한 요인인 것으로 보였다.

Xo2276 is a putative transcription activator-like effector (TALE) in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). Xo2276 was expressed with a TAP-tag at the C-terminus in Xoo cells to enable quantitative analysis of protein expression and secretion. Nearly all TAP-tagged Xo2276 existed in an insoluble form; addition of rice leaf extracts from a Xoosusceptible rice cultivar, Milyang23, significantly stimulated secretion of TAP-tagged Xo2276 into the medium. In a T3SS-defective Xoo mutant strain, secretion of TAPtagged Xo2276 was blocked. Xo2276 is a Xoo ortholog of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv) AvrBs3 and contains a conserved DNA-binding domain (DBD), which includes 19.5 tandem repeats of 34 amino acids. Xo2276- DBD was expressed in E. coli and purified. Direct in vitro recognition of Xo2276-DBD on a putative target DNA sequence was confirmed using an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. This is the first study measuring the homologous expression and secretion of Xo2276 in vitro using rice leaf extract and its direct in vitro binding to the specific target DNA sequence.

In this study, we used the mixture made from the Rice bran 45 ㎏, Dendropanax 5 ㎏, the sugar of the 10% of the total weight, and the enzyme of the 0.1% of the total weight. After the mixture were fermented for 90 days under 20 $^{\circ}C$, we measured the cell viability and the inhibition rate of the melanin biosynthesis, the activity of tyrosinase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in malignant melanoma, B16F10 cells, in order to survey the whitening effect and the mechanism of the effects on the sample. As a result, the samples significantly suppressed the cell viability of B16F10 in more than 500 ${{\mu}g}$/㎖ and significantly inhibited the generation of melanin induced by ${\alpha}$-MSH in more than 1,000 ${{\mu}g}$/㎖. Sample decreased the activity of tyrosinase while increased the activity of SOD in dose dependent manner. Therefore, we considered that the fermentation extract made from a Rice bran and Dendropanax will be able to produce high value-added products, if used as a commercial.

Flowering time (or heading date) is controlled by intrinsic genetic programs in response to environmental cues, such as photoperiod and temperature. Rice, a facultative short-day (SD) plant, flowers early in SD and late in long-day (LD) conditions. Casein kinases (CKs) generally act as positive regulators in many signaling pathways in plants. In rice, Heading date 6 (Hd6) and Hd16 encode $CK2{\alpha}$ and CKI, respectively, and mainly function to delay flowering time. Additionally, the major LD-dependent floral repressors Hd2/Oryza sativa Pseudo-Response Regulator 37 (OsPRR37;hereafter PRR37) and Ghd7 also confer strong photoperiod sensitivity. In floral induction, Hd16 acts upstream of Ghd7 and CKI interacts with and phosphorylates Ghd7. In addition, Hd6 and Hd16 also act upstream of Hd2. However, whether CKI and $CK2{\alpha}$ directly regulate the function of PRR37 remains unclear. Here, we use in vitro pull-down and in vivo bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays to show that CKI and $CK2{\alpha}$ interact with PRR37. We further use in vitro kinase assays to show that CKI and $CK2{\alpha}$ phosphorylate different regions of PRR37. Our results indicate that direct posttranslational modification of PRR37 mediates the genetic interactions between these two protein kinases and PRR37. The significance of CK-mediated phosphorylation for PRR37 and Ghd7 function is discussed.

Lynceid conchostracans of the order Laevicaudata in East Asia are reviewed. Validity of the three older species, Lynceus mandsuricus Daday, Lynceus biformis (Ishikawa), and Lynceus dauricus Thiele, is examined and discussed. Two species among them were acknowledged but L. dauricus was synonymized to L. biformis and redescribed and illustrated in the present paper, based on the materials collected from the rice-fields at 15 localities in Korea.

홍국쌀 추출물의 항산화 작용을 DPPH radical 및 hydroxyl radical 소거능, 간암 세포에서의 산화적 DNA 손상과 항산화 효소의 유전자 발현에 미치는 영향으로 분석하였다. 홍국쌀 추출물의 DPPH radical 소거능은 ethyl acetate 추출물, methanol 추출물, butanol 추출물 순이었으며, ethyl acetate 추출물의 DPPH radical 소거능은 0.2 mg/mL에서 85%, $IC_{50}$는 0.13 mg/mL로 나타났다. Ethyl acetate 추출물의 hydroxyl radical 소거능을 DCF fluorescence로 측정한 결과, cuvette에서는 2.5 ${\mu}g$/mL에서 44.2%, 5.0 ${\mu}g$/mL 74.1%, 10.0 ${\mu}g$/mL >100%로 나타났고, $HepG_2$ cell에서는 ethyl acetate 추출물로 전처리한 세포의 radical이 $H_2O_2$로만 처리한 세포에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였다. 홍국쌀 ethyl acetate로 전처리한 세포의 DNA 손상이 $H_2O_2$로만 처리한 세포에 비해 유의적으로 낮았으며, 추출물 대신 lovastatin을 처리한 세포는 DNA 손상이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 항산화 효소 유전자의 상대적 발현 정도를 측정한 결과, 산화 스트레스 없이 ethyl acetate 추출물로 전처리한 세포에서는 SOD와 GPx가 control에 비해 각각 3.25배, 2.67배 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 추출물로 전처리한 후 산화 스트레스에 노출시킨 세포에서는 CAT가 control에 비해 5 ${\mu}g$/mL에서 4.64배, 10 ${\mu}g$/mL에서 7.0배 유의적으로 증가하였다.
