  • Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is an abundant form of genetic variation within individuals of species. DNA polymorphism can arise throughout the whole genome at different frequencies in different species. SNP may cause phenotypic diversity among individuals, such as individuals with different color of plants or fruits, fruit size, ripening, flowering time adaptation, quality of crops, grain yields, or tolerance to various abiotic and biotic factors. SNP may result in changes in amino acids in the exon of a gene (asynonymous). SNP can also be silent (present in coding region but synonymous). It may simply occur in the noncoding regions without having any effect. SNP may influence the promoter activity for gene expression and finally produce functional protein through transcription. Therefore, the identification of functional SNP in genes and analysis of their effects on phenotype may lead to better understanding of their impact on gene function for varietal improvement. In this mini-review, we focused on evidences revealing the role of functional SNPs in genes and their phenotypic effects for the purpose of crop improvements.

  • 맥류(귀리, 보리, 호밀 및 밀)의 발아 시 변화되는 일반성분, phytic acid, 유리당, 무기성분 및 지방산을 분석하였다. 조회분은 발아 후 약간의 감소를 보였으며, 조단백질은 귀리에서 발아 후 약간 증가하였다. 항암작용 및 항산화 작용을 한다고 알려진 phytic acid는 귀리가 발아 전 1.09 mg/g에서 발아 후 1.56 mg/g으로 다른 품종에 비하여 많은 증가를 보였다. Glucose 함량은 호밀과 밀에서 발아 후에 각각 6 및 3.5배 증가하였으며, maltose는 귀리와 밀에서 발아 후에 각각 7.4 및 5.5배 증가하였다. 주요 불포화지방산은 palmitic acid, oleic acid 및 linoleic acid이었으며, 발아 시 palmitic acid와 linoleic acid는 귀리와 보리에서는 많은 감소를 보였으나, oleic acid는 귀리와 보리에서 발아 후에 각각 38.80 및 39.76%로 증가하였다. 추후 화학적인 성분 변화뿐만 아니라 발아 전후에 변화하는 생리활성 및 다양한 효소저해 활성 등의 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

  • It is a normal circumstance to have high temperature and high humidity in Greenhouses even though these climates are changed by the area, season, climates, the size of the greenhouse, and the crops being raised. Workers in the greenhouses have complained about their uncomfortable work environment and discomfort from the hot conditions, including sunburn. The farmers' ailments are not significantly different between those working in the in greenhouses and those working in the fields. The Farmers' syndrome was almost two times higher for women than those of men for greenhouse workers. This study was developed for functional fatigue clothes for plastic greenhouses which are known for high temperatures and humidity. The ergonomic function and thermal comforts of fatigue clothes were evaluated in the climatic chamber($30.0^{\circ}C$, 70.0%R.H.). The current fatigue clothes which are made of cotton or nylon were purchased at the market. The developed clothes are made of highly absorbent and high speed drying polyester. And these fabrics have excellent elasticity. In this study, the functional fatigue clothes were designed with longsleeved sport shirts and Full length pants. Tre, Tsk, Hcl, HR and the personal subjective sensations such as heat, humidity, and comfortableness were significantly lower when subjects wore the developed clothes made with polyester than the previous attire.

  • The Maori people were early New Zealand settlers of Polynesian descent. The incidence of non-infectious diseases appears to have been low in these people, perhaps in part due to the presence of protective chemical constituents within their food plant supply. Three of the tropical crops they introduced are still eaten here today: the sweet potato of kumara (Ipomoea batatas), the taro (Colocasia esculenta) and the cabbage tree or ti (Cordyline terminalis).(omitted)

  • 차세대 염기 서열 분석 기술의 적용은 빠르게 식물 유전체학의 지식을 확장시킴으로 기능유전자 연구의 발전을 도모하고 있다. 특히, 밀의 기능유전체학의 발전은 기존의 염기서열 분석 기술로는 가능성이 없어 보였다. 하지만 NGS의 발전은 고품질 보통밀의 RefSeq를 완성뿐만 아니라 다양한 밀 계통들의 재염기서열분석을 가능하게 한다. 현재 이렇게 얻어진 고품질 유전정보와 유전적 다형성이 밝혀진 유전자원의 이용으로 밀 기능유전체 연구가 새로운 단계로 접어들고 있다. NGS 기술 및 reverse genetics의 발전은 앞으로 전세계에 펼쳐져 있는 야생형 밀과 재배종 밀 계통들의 유전적인 다양성 분석을 가능케 하고 밀의 유전과 진화 과정을 깊게 이해하는데 큰 도움이 될 것이다. NGS 기술의 사용과 생물정보학의 결합은 타 작물에 비해 뒤쳐진 밀의 기능유전체 연구 속도를 가속화할 것이다. 기능유전체 연구를 활용한 밀 육종의 시대가, 애기장대 및 벼 분야와 같이, 다가오고 있다.

  • Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that exists in eight different forms, which are $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$, and $\delta$ tocopherol, and $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$, and $\delta$ tocotrienol. Tocopherols and tocotrienols are important antioxidant in foods, feeds and their raw materials, where they scavenge lipid radicals. Each form has its own biological activity, the measure of potency or functional use in the body. Antioxidants such as vitamin E act to protect cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of the body's metabolism. Free radicals can cause cell dam-age that may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer, The content of tocopherols and tocotrienols vary depending on the environmental condition such as growing regions, temperature, crops and varieties. This report deals with chemical and physical properties and extends to their nutritional and health effect on the tocopherols and tocotrienols in cereal grains.

  • In South Korea, a few kinds of social farming practice are identified: care farming, labour integration, and training in farming sector. Although social farming is not a prevailing activity in rural communities, it attracts much attention from a range of actors in society. In Hongseong-gun, from a few years ago, two farms began to care and employ the mentally disabled and to train young new comers who want to grow crops in the way of organic farming. Both of them are cooperatives, which were established by the residents want to participate in. These movement has made some changes in the community. And now, it became the well-known cases of social farming as well as multi-functional agriculture. Social farming can be described as a praxis to deterritorialize the units of agricultural production and the rural community, where food empires imposed their ordering principle upon units of agricultural production in order to appropriate the value added by farming.
