UCB-1 is the commercial rootstock of pistachio. Reproduction of this rootstock by tissue culture is limited by low levels of proliferation rate. Therefore, any compound that improves the proliferation rate and the quality of the shoots can be used in the process of commercial reproduction of this rootstock. Use of plant growth-promoting bacteria is one of the best ideas. Given the beneficial effects of nanoparticles in enhancement of the growth in plant tissue cultures, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of nanoencapsulation of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (using silica nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes) and their metabolites in improving UCB1 pistachio micropropagation. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. Before planting, treatments on the DKW medium were added. The results showed that the use of Pseudomonas fluorescens VUPF5 and Bacillus subtilis VRU1 nanocapsules significantly enhanced the root length and proliferation. The nanoformulation of the VUPF5 metabolite led to the highest root length (6.26 cm) and the largest shoot (3.34 cm). Inoculation of explants with the formulation of the metabolites (both bacterial strains) significantly elevated the average shoot length and the fresh weight of plant compared to the control. The explants were dried completely using both bacterial strains directly and with capsule coating after the three days.

여름철 토마토 시설 재배 시 CO₂ 시용에 의한 고온적응성 향상을 구명하고 그 가능성을 검토하고자 실시하였다. CO₂ 시용 농도별 엽록소 형광을 측정한 결과 Fm/Fo과 Fv/Fm은 1000ppm 처리가 타 처리에 비하여 높았으며, Fo은 낮았다. 이는 1000ppm의 CO₂ 처리는 다른 처리에 비하여 고온 적응성이 높았음을 보여 주고 있다. 동일한 기온 조건하(30℃, 40℃)에서 광합성률은 CO₂ 농도에 따라 증가하였으며, 고온상태인 40℃ 조건하에서도 1000ppm의 CO₂ 시용은 30℃ 조건보다 광합성률은 낮았으나 그 값은 약 18.5μmolm^-2s^-1이였다. 슈퍼 도태랑(모모타로), 미니 찰 두 품종 모두 CO₂ 농도가 높을수록 항산화 효소인 Superoxide Dismutase 와 Peroxidase의 활성은 높았다. 미니찰 품종에서 CO₂ 농도와 온도변화에 따른 엽록소 형광 Fo의 변화양상을 조사하여 고온한계 온도를 추정한 결과 500ppm은 41℃, 1000ppm은 43℃였다.

BACKGROUND: There is a need for a revolutionary method to overcome the problem of biochar, which has relatively low adsorption capacity for existing anion pollutants, along with collectively recycling fallen leaves, a kind of forest by-product. Therefore, the objective of this study was to prepare iron-decorated biochar derived from fallen leaves (Fe-FLB), and to evaluate their adsorption properties to Congo red (CR) as anionic dye. METHODS AND RESULTS: The adsorption properties of CR by fallen leaves biochar (FLB) and Fe-FLB were performed under various conditions such as initial CR concentration, reaction time, pH and dosage with isotherm and kinetic models. In this study, Fe-FLB prepared through iron impregnation and pyrolysis of fallen leaves contained 56.9% carbon and 6.3% iron. Congo red adsorption by FLB and Fe-FLB was well described by Langmuir model and pseudo second order model and the maximum adsorption capacities of FLB and Fe-FLB were 1.1 mg/g and 25.6 mg/g, respectively. In particular, it was found that the adsorption of CR was occurred by chemical adsorption process by the outer boundary layer of Fe-FLB. CONCLUSION: Overall, the production of Fe-FLB using fallen leaves and using it as an anion adsorbent is considered to be a way to overcome the problem of biochar with relatively low anion adsorption in addition to the reduction effect of waste.

Objective: In this study we aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary live yeast supplementation on ruminal pH pattern, fermentation characteristics and associated bacteria in beef cattle. Methods: This work comprised of in vitro and in vivo experiments. In vitro fermentation was conducted by incubating 0%, 0.05%, 0.075%, 0.1%, 0.125%, and 0.15% active dried yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ADY) with total mixed ration substrate to determine its dose effect. According to in vitro results, 0.1% ADY inclusion level was assigned in in vivo study for continuously monitoring ruminal fermentation characteristics and microbes. Six ruminally cannulated steers were randomly assigned to 2 treatments (Control and ADY supplementation) as two-period crossover design (30-day). Blood samples were harvested before-feeding and rumen fluid was sampled at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 h post-feeding on 30 d. Results: After 24 h in vitro fermentation, pH and gas production were increased at 0.1% ADY where ammonia nitrogen and microbial crude protein also displayed lowest and peak values, respectively. Acetate, butyrate and total volatile fatty acids concentrations heightened with increasing ADY doses and plateaued at high levels, while acetate to propionate ratio was decreased accordingly. In in vivo study, ruminal pH was increased with ADY supplementation that also elevated acetate and propionate. Conversely, ADY reduced lactate level by dampening Streptococcus bovis and inducing greater Selenomonas ruminantium and Megasphaera elsdenii populations involved in lactate utilization. The serum urea nitrogen decreased, whereas glucose, albumin and total protein concentrations were increased with ADY supplementation. Conclusion: The results demonstrated dietary ADY improved ruminal fermentation dose-dependently. The ruminal lactate reduction through modification of lactate metabolic bacteria could be an important reason for rumen pH stabilization induced by ADY. ADY supplementation offered a complementary probiotics strategy in improving gluconeogenesis and nitrogen metabolism of beef cattle, potentially resulted from optimized rumen pH and fermentation.

BACKGROUND: Biochar is a solid material converted from agricultural biomass such as crop residues and pruning branch through pyrolysis under limited oxygen supply. Biochar consists of non-degradable carbon (C) double bonds and aromatic ring that are not readily broken down by microbial degradation in the soils. Due to the recalcitrancy of C in biochar, biochar application to the soils is of help in enhancing soil carbon sequestration in arable lands that might be a strategy of agricultural sector to mitigate climate change. METHODS AND RESULTS: Data were collected from studies on the effect of biochar application on soil C content conducted in East Asian countries including China, Japan and Korea under different experimental conditions (incubation, column, pot, and field). The magnitude of soil C storage was positively correlated (p < 0.001) with biochar application rate under field conditions, reflecting accumulation of recalcitrant black C in the biochar. However, The changes in soil C contents per C input from biochar (% per t/ha) were 6.80 in field condition, and 12.58 in laboratory condition. The magnitude of increment of soil C was lower in field than in laboratory conditions due to potential loss of C through weathering of biochar under field conditions. Biochar production condition also affected soil C increment; more C increment was found with biochar produced at a high temperature (over 450℃). CONCLUSION: This review suggests that biochar application is a potential measures of C sequestration in agricultural soils. However, as the increment of soil C biochar was affected by biochar types, further studies are necessary to find better biochar types for enhanced soil C storage.

Composting of animal residues with weeds and waste papers as bulking agents was tested. Coorperative form of work with farmers, students, cleaning women and members of citizens' movement was attempted. The responses of participants for composting, through it's laboriousness and dirtiness, were favorable with feeling of doing good for social services. The temperature of compost was raised up to 83 $^{\circ}C$. in spite of cold winter weather after turning. The pH, water content, total carbon, total nitrogen and C/N ratio showed the similarity to stability steps of other usual composts. The contents of heavy metals were low except Cu in comparison with standard levels. The uses of waste papers as a bulking agent for composting of animal residues, especially for organic farming, would need more diverse investigations.

To overcome various disadvantages of conventional cul-ture vessels for micropropagation, a novel disposable vessel, the 'Vitron', made of a multi-layered $OTP^{(R)}$ film and supported by a polypropylene frame, was developed. The film possesses superior properties such as: high light transmittance, low water vapor transmittance and thermal stability and in particular, high gas-permeability. Single nodal explants, which were excised from the multiple shoots derived from shoot-tip culture, were cultured in Vitron and polycarbonate vessels on $3\%$ sugar-containing agar on MS medium and placed at 3000 ppm $CO_2$-enrichment at a low photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) ($45{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$). The in vitro and ex vitro growth, and the net photosynthetic rate of in vitro and ex vitro plantlets were significantly enhanced in the Vitron compared to those cultured in a polycarbonate vessel. Explants that were cultured on the same MS medium under low PPFD at various $CO_2$ concentrations were also cultured at 3000 ppm $CO_2$- enrichment at various PPFD: 30, 45, 60, 75 and $90{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$. The best in vitro and ex vitro growth obtained for 3000 ppm $CO_2$-enrichment at $75{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ PPFD. The novel Vitron vessel, when placed under the two conditions, may replace conventional culture vessels for the successful micropropagation of sweetpotato.

국내에서 주곡인 쌀은 재배 면적이 감소되고 있으나, 단위 면적당 생산량이 증가되고 쌀 소비는 급감하고 있는 상황에서 외국 쌀 의무수입량은 연간 409천 톤으로 쌀 생산조정 노력에도 불구하고 재고량이 누적되고 있다. 따라서 비상 시 식량안보를 위하여 현 재배면적을 유지하면서 생산량을 감축해야 할 필요성이 있다. 또한 농촌노동력의 노령화 및 지구온난화에 대응하여 노동력 절감과 생산비를 절감으로 농가 소득을 증대하고 친환경 유기농업으로 토양에 유기탄소의 저장력을 높이며, 온실가스 발생량을 줄이는 저탄소 농업기술을 개발, 지속가능한 농업환경을 조성하여 후손에게 물려주어야 할 책무가 있다. 쌀 수급안정에 대한 대안으로서 현 재배면적을 유지하면서 전국의 친환경재배 면적을 현재의 전남 수준인 17%까지 확대하는 1단계, 점차 확산하여 25%까지 확대하는 2단계, 중점확대로 친환경 면적을 35%까지 확대하는 3단계 시나리오를 설정하였다. 쌀 단가를 동일한 고정단가로 분석한 결과 1단계에서는 쌀 생산량은 6만톤 감축되고 생산비는 592억원 증가되며, 소득은 2,015억원 감소될 것으로 추정되었다. 2단계로 친환경농업을 점차 확산할 경우 쌀 생산량은 9만 톤 감축되고, 생산비는 1,221억원 증가되며, 소득은 3,137억원 감소될 것으로 추정되었다. 그리고 3단계에서는 쌀 생산량이 38만 톤 감축되고, 생산비는 2,220억원 증가되며, 소득은 4,645억원 감소될 것으로 추정되었다. 그리고 변동단가를 적용하면 친환경재배는 관행 일반재배에 비하여 소득은 11.5~14.5% 증가되며, 순소득은 -2.9~27.8% 증가되는 효과가 있다. 그리고 저탄소 벼 부분경운 동시 이앙 시범재배 단지 10 ha 조성 시나리오를 설정하여 분석한 결과, 단지별로 쌀 수량은 1.3~1.5톤이 감소되지만 쌀 생산비 감소로 농가소득은 증가되는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 생산조정 면적 8만 ha를 시행하는데 소요되는 정부 재정지출 예산을 감안하면 정부재정 범위 내에서 친환경 및 저탄소 농업 확대에 일정부분 지원이 가능할 것으로 생각되었다. 현재의 쌀 재고량 감축을 위한 재고관리에 일정한 한계가 있는 상황에서, 친환경 및 저탄소 농업으로 인한 생산비 증가나 소득감소를 재정적으로 뒷받침해 타작목에 영향을 최소화하면서 지속가능한 농업 환경 보전은 물론 식량안보와 소비자의 안전에도 기여하는 등, 친환경과 저탄소농업 확대는 적은 비용으로 큰 효과를 거둘 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
