Previous studies on the effect of age on intestinal taurine transport in animals have invariably shown a decline in the activity of the transport system with increasing age. In the present study changes in taurine transporter activity were observed during cell differentiation in the human colon carcinoma cell line HT-29 This cell line exhibits various enterocytic characteristics when differentiated and therefore has frequently been used to study the characteristcs and regulation of nutrient and drug absorption in the small intestine at the cellular level. Pre-treatment of the cells with $\beta$-alanine(10mM) reduced the taurine transport activity to 33% of the value for the control cells(p<0.05) which implies that taurine and $\beta$-alanine share a common $\beta$-amino acid transport system for their celluar uptake in the HI-29 was continued until 21 days post seeding. Kinetic studies of the taurine transporter were conducted in the HT-29 cell line with varying taurine concentration(5-60$\mu$M) in the uptake medium Both Vmax and the Michaelis-Menten constant(Km) of taurine transporter were decreased as differentiation of the HT-29 cell line was progressed ; Vmax of the taurine transporter in cells incubated for 4, 14 and 21 days post seeding was 2.79$\pm$3.4m 16.89$\pm$1.74, and 0.85$\pm$0.08 and 0.32$\pm$0.01nmol.mg protein-1 .30min-1 respectively(p<0.001) and Km was 42.3$\pm$3.4, 16.89$\pm$1.74, and 11.2$\pm$3.0$\mu$M respectively (p<0.01) These results indicate that the activity of sodium dependent active taurine transport system in the HT-29 cell line is decreased as confluent cells are differentiated. This phenomenon in cell culture system corresponds well with the earlier observation of lower intestinal taurine transport activity in suckling rats compared to that in adult animals although direct relationship of cell differentiation with in vivo aging process needs further verification.

Rice and weed interference in the paddy field caused by resource competition and allelopathy. Evaluation method of active weed suppressive behavior of rice to weed was developed by eliminating light competition at soil condition. Twenty eight days old rice seedlings (6-7 leaf stage) which was grown at saturated, no drainage pot were clipped above $3\~4cm$ from the soil surface. Weeds seeded around clipped rice stem, named ratoon seeding screening method, showed varietal suppressive difference to Echinochloa crus-galli, Echinochloa crusgalli var. praticola and Monochoria vaginalis. Potential allelopathic rice varieties, Sathi, AC1423 and PI312777 showed better suppressive activity to weed seedling growth than Nonganbyeo and Keumobyeo. Weed suppression of one plant of rice cultivars could be evaluated by the cell size of $2.5\times2.5cm$ at rice clipping of seedling 29 days after rice seeding.

The purpose of this study was to determine how seeding time changes the properties of soybean products meju and doenjang. Soybeans were seeded on the last day of May (5L), on the mid day of June (6M), and on the last day of June (6L), respectively. The 5L soybeans experienced a distinguishing hot and humid climate at the ripening stage, and these climate conditions resulted in smaller seed sizes. Fermentation briskly progressed in all doenjang until 120 days, and the 5L doenjang exhibited the lowest fermentation efficiency. The 5L soybeans showed the highest GABA, polyphenol contents, and ACE inhibitory activity, and the 6M soybeans showed the highest radical scavenging activity among the groups tested. In doenjang, the functional properties generally increased as the aging time approached the $120^{th}$ day, and the 6M doenjang showed the highest functional properties at the $120^{th}$ day. Therefore, 6M soybeans had the most appropriate characteristics when producing doenjang.

This study was aimed to investigate the content of avenanthramides(AVNs) and other phenolic compounds in the grains of a naked oat cultivar, Daeyang, which were seeded in the fall and spring, and examine the effects of alcohol extracts from the grains on natural killer(NK) cell activity in vitro. The content of AVN-A, AVN-B, and AVN-C in the spring-seeded oat grains was 2.2 folds higher than the fall-seeded oat grains on average. Among these AVNs, the content of AVN-C was 1.9-folds higher in the spring-seeded oat grains(66.1㎍/g), comparing to the content in the fall-seeded oat grains(34.8㎍/g). The content of other phenolic compounds, such as phenolic acids and flavonoids in the spring-seeded oat grains was 1.1~4.7-folds higher than the fall-seeded oat grains. In particular, sinapinic acid was the most abundant phenolic acid in the spring-seeded oat grains(50.0㎍/g) and its content was 2.4-folds higher than its content in the fall-seed oat grains. Furthermore, NK cell activity in vitro treated with the spring-seeded oat grain extracts was 158%, and it was 18%p higher than NK cell activity treated with the extracts from the fall-seeded oat grain extracts. Our finding suggest that the bioactive properties of naked oat grains would be enhanced by spring seeding.

제주에서 새로 도입한 케나프 3개 품종(Everglades-41, Chingpi-3, Tainung-2)의 파종시기별 생산성을 검토하였다. 11월 말 수확의 단위면적당 수량(지상부생중)은 Everglades-41가 다른 두 품종보다 적었는데, 파종시기별로는 Chingpi-3은 5월 11일 파종에서 높았고 파종시기가 늦어질수록 감소하였으나, Everglades-41 및 Tainung-2은 5월 21일 및 6월 1일 파종에서 높은 경향을 나타냈다. 단위엽면적당 광합성 능력은 Everglades-41이 다른 두 품종보다 높았는데, 이것은 Everglades-41의 잎모양이 타 두품종과 다른 것과 높은 광이용 효율에 기인한 것으로 생각된다. 그러나, Everglades-41의 생장량은 두 품종보다 낮았는데, 이것은 생육초기에 병충해에 의한 생육 저해에 의한 것 이외에도 광호흡(photo respiration)이 높은 점으로 보아 광호흡에 의한 물질 생산량의 손실도 고려 대상이다. 생산적인 측면을 고려 할 때 제주 지역에서는 Chingpi-3을 5월중순경 파종해서 재배하는 것이 적당할 것으로 보여지나, 본 시험에 공시한 3품종은 제주에서의 채종은 쉽지 않을 것으로 보여진다.

This study was designed to evaluate the influence of fibroblasts or connective tissue from mouse oral mucosa on differentiation of neonatal mouse calvaria-derived osteoblasts and mineralization of bone nodules. Primary cell cultures from mouse calvarial osteoblasts and 2-4 passaged fibroblasts from oral mucosa were co-cultured in monolayer cultures, devided into 6 experimental group according to cell density or cell confluency. Osteoblasts were also co-cultured with fibroblasts in $Transwell^{(R)}$ culture plate with different co-cultured period according to osteoblast differentiation. The alkaline phosphatase activity were measured in monolayer cultures and cultures using $Transwell^{(R)}$. The mineralized bone nodules were presented by Von Kossa staining and density of mineralized nodules was measured by image analysis. The connective tissues with or without osteoblast seeding were cultured and examined histologically by Von Kossa and Trichrome Goldner staining. The results were as follows; 1. Prolonged maturation of matrix and delayed mineralization of bone nodules were resulted in monolayer cultures. 2. Co-culture of fibroblast with osteoblast using $Transwell^{(R)}$ during osteoblast proliferation stage stimulated proliferation of osteoblasts and increased alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralization of bone nodules. 3. Co-culture of fibroblast with osteoblast using $Transwell^{(R)}$ during matrix mineralization stage decreased and delayed mineralization of bone nodules. 4. In vitro cultured connective tissue with osteoblast seeding resulted in proliferation of osteoblasts and matrix formation with mineralization.

Recombinant (rec) prion protein (PrP) is an extremely useful resource for studying protein misfolding and subsequent protein aggregation events. Here, we report mass production of high-purity rec-polypeptide encoding the C-terminal globular domain of PrP; (90-230) for human and (89-231) for murine PrP. These proteins were expressed as His-tagged fusion proteins in E. coli cultured by a high cell-density aerobic fermentation method. RecPrPs recovered from inclusion bodies were slowly refolded under reducing conditions. Purification was performed by a sequence of metal-affinity, cation-exchange, and reverse-phase chromatography. The current procedure yielded several dozens of milligrams of recPrP per liter with >95% purity. The purified recPrPs predominantly adopted an ${\alpha}$-helix-rich conformation and were functionally sufficient as substrates to measure the seeding activity of human and animal prions. Establishment of a procedure for high-level production of high-purity recPrP supports the advancement of in vitro investigations of PrP including diagnosis for prion diseases.

Background: Maize fodder is being used as staple feed for livestock but it lacks protein and essential amino acids; lysine and tryptophan. Intercropping maize with leguminous soybean crop is promising technique under limited land resources of South Korea but it can only give considerable advantages when adequate distance is provided between corn and soybean rows. Main aim of present study was to find-out adequate distance between corn and soybean seeding rows for optimum growth, yield and nutritive value of intercropped forage. Methods: Different interrow distances between corn and soybean were evaluated under four treatments, viz. 1) Corn sole as positive control treatment 2) Zero cm between corn and soybean (control); 2) Five cm between corn and soybean; 3) 10 cm between corn and soybean, with three replicates under randomized block design. Results: Findings depicted that height and number of corn stalks and ears were similar (P > 0.05) among different treatments. Numerically average corn ear height was decreased at zero cm distance. Dry matter percentage in all components; corn stalk, corn ear and soybean was also found not different (P > 0.05) but dry matter yield in component of corn ear was lower (P < 0.05) at zero cm distance as compared to that of 5 and 10 cm interrow distances. In case of nutritive value, total digestible nutrient yield in intercropped corn was also found lower (P < 0.05) at zero cm distance than that of 5 and 10 cm interrow distances between corn and soybean seeding rows. Substantial decrease in dry matter yield of maize ear at zero cm distance might be attributed to factor of closed interrow spacing which made interplant competition more intensified for light interception, necessary for photosynthetic activity. Lower dry matter yield in ear also reduced total digestible nutrients in intercropped maize because it was determining factor in calculation of digestible nutrients. The optimum yield and nutritive value of forage at wider interrow distance i.e. 5 cm between corn and soybean might be due to adequate interseed distance. Conclusion: Conclusively, pattern of corn and soybean seeding in rows at 5 cm distance was found suitable which provided adequate interrow distance to maintain enough mutual cooperation and decreased competition between both species for optimum production performance and nutritive value of intercropped forage.

살초활성을 가지고 있는 것으로 알려진 천연 물질 chrysophanic acid에 대하여 온실조건 하에서 살초 특성을 조사하고, 다른 천연 제초활성 물질과의 합제 처리를 통한 살초 작용성 증진 평가를 통해 천연물 제초제로서의 개발 가능성을 확인하고자 일련의 실험을 수행하였다. Chrysophanic acid는 토양처리 살초 효과는 없었고 경엽처리 효과만 나타내었으며, 바랭이에 대한 생육시기별 살초력은 파종 7~14일에서 가장 우수하게 나타났다. 작물에 대한 약해는 토양처리에서는 나타나지 않았으나, 경엽처리에서는 아주 심하게 나타나 작물 선택성은 없었다. Caryophyllene oxide와의 합제처리에서는 고도의 상승효과가 발현되어 chrysophanic acid의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 이상적인 조합이었다. 이를 바탕으로 향후 2원 또는 3원 합제를 통한 보다 광범위하고 고활성의 천연 제초활성 물질을 발굴할 수 있는 기술 개발의 필요성이 제기되었다. 또한, chrysophanic acid는 광엽 및 화본과 초종에 관계없이 넓은 살초 스펙트럼을 갖고 있기 때문에 유효성분의 활성을 증가시킬 수 있는 제형기술 개발을 통해 고활성, 비선택성 천연물 제초제로서의 개발 가능성이 있을 것으로 생각되었다.
