The effects of germinating types and treatments of acetic acid, water-soluble and water-insoluble chitosan on the germination ratio and sprout length of brown rice were investigated in this study. The treatment of 0.001% acetic acid improved the germination ratio and sprout growth of brown rice in the germinating types of a air-exposure method after water-soaking (Type II) and a repetitive method of water-soaking & air-exposure (Type III), not water-soaking method (Type I). The treatment of water-soluble chitosan with higher concentration caused higher germination ratio and faster sprout growth. The treatment of water-insoluble chitosan repressed the germination and the sprout growth of brown rice. The germination ratios of brown rice germinated by the Type III were higher than those by Type I and Type II for all the treatments of acetic acid and water-soluble & water-insoluble chitosan as more than 97% germination ratio. Also, the Type III method accelerated the sprout growth of brown rice compared with Type I and Type II.

The practicality of utilizing chitosan as a natural antimicrobial compound to reduce soybean sprout rot was tested. Domestic and imported soybean seeds were soaked for 6 hours in solutions containing different levels of chitosan and acetic acid (glacial), and cultured at $25^{\circ}C$ for 6 days. In case of domestic seeds, soaking with 1,000ppm chitosan increased germination percentage, hypocotyl thickness, total length, and fresh weight of sprouts by 4%, 5%, 2%, and 1%, respectively. The total sprout yield was increased by chitosan in a concentration-dependent manner in that 1,000ppm chitosan resulted in 8% increment of total yield (7.47kg sprouts/kg seed). Chitosan significantly reduced sprout rot percentage to 7.0% compared to control (13.8%), and consequently enhanced marketable sprout yield by 39%. Compared to domestic seeds, the imported soybean seeds exhibited very low germination percentage regardless of chitosan treatments. Chitosan, nevertheless, consistently induced yield increment and rot decrement in imported soybean sprouts. Although 100ppm acetic acid was effective in reducing sprout rot percentage down to 11.8%, its yield-increasing effects were not as prominent as chitosan. In conclusion, soaking soybean seeds with chitosan seems to be a practical method to enhance the efficiency of soybean sprout production.

The effect of ginseng saponin on the activities of isocitrate lyase, palate synthase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and lipase have been investigated at the early phase of germinating soy-bean sprout and found that all the above enzymes were stimulated when the bean was rinsed for 24 hours with 10-4% saponin solution. The length of the saponin treated group was not longer than that of control group but the weight of the former was heavier (15%) than the latter. Total sugar content of test group was always much higher than that of control. From the above results, it was concluded that ginseng saponin might stimulate several enzymes of Soybean sprout during germination resulting in rapid growth of the Soybean sprout.

With both common and Tartary buckwheat species, this study was aimed at producing new commercially useful bio-materials with higher nutritional and medicinal value due to higher components for health promotion and diseases care. In common buckwheat sprouts, it was found that root length at $20^{\circ}C$ was longer (5.93 cm) than at 25 and $30^{\circ}C$, whereas the hypocotyls length, fresh weight of each sprout, and whole fresh weight showed the highest value at $30^{\circ}C$. For Tartary buckwheat, the root length, hypocotyl length and fresh weight of each sprout and whole fresh weight were also the highest at $30^{\circ}C$. Common buckwheat (Suwon No.1) and Tartary buckwheat (KW45) sprouts cultured at $20^{\circ}C$ showed that hypocotyl length, fresh weight of each sprout, and whole fresh weight in the control were higher than those sprouts treated with 5% and 10% deep sea water (DSW), while the sprouts cultured at $30^{\circ}C$ showed were significantly longer hypocotyls than the control or 5% DSW treatment.

Most angiogenesis assays are performed using endothelial cells. However, blood vessels are composed of two cell types: endothelial cells and pericytes. Thus, co-culture of two vascular cells should be employed to evaluate angiogenic properties. Here, we developed an in vitro 3-dimensional angiogenesis assay system using spheroids formed by two human vascular precursors: endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). ECFCs, MSCs, or ECFCs+MSCs were cultured to form spheroids. Sprout formation from each spheroid was observed for 24 h by real-time cell recorder. Sprout number and length were higher in ECFC+MSC spheroids than ECFC-only spheroids. No sprouts were observed in MSC-only spheroids. Sprout formation by ECFC spheroids was increased by treatment with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or combination of VEGF and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2). Interestingly, there was no further increase in sprout formation by ECFC+MSC spheroids in response to VEGF or VEGF+FGF-2, suggesting that MSCs stimulate sprout formation by ECFCs. Immuno-fluorescent labeling technique revealed that MSCs surrounded ECFC-mediated sprout structures. We tested vatalanib, VEGF inhibitor, using ECFC and ECFC+MSC spheroids. Vatalanib significantly inhibited sprout formation in both spheroids. Of note, the $IC_{50}$ of vatalanib in ECFC+MSC spheroids at 24 h was $4.0{\pm}0.40{\mu}M$, which are more correlated with the data of previous animal studies when compared with ECFC spheroids ($0.2{\pm}0.03{\mu}M$). These results suggest that ECFC+MSC spheroids generate physiologically relevant sprout structures composed of two types of vascular cells, and will be an effective pre-clinical in vitro assay model to evaluate pro- or anti-angiogenic property.

Genetic diversity and soybean sprout-related traits were evaluated in a total of 72 soybean accessions (60 Glycine max, 7 Glycine soja, and 5 Glycine gracilis). 100-seed weight (SW) was greatly varied and ranged from 3.2g to 32.3g in 72 soybean accessions. Positive correlation was observed between GR and hypocotyl length (HL), whereas negative correlation was observed between SW and hypocotyl diameter (HD). Re-evaluation by discarding two soybean genotypes characterized with low GR indicated that much higher correlation of sprout yield (SY) with HD and SW. Based on the principal component analysis (PCA) for sprout-related traits, 57 accessions were classified. Soybean genotypes with better traits for sprout, such as small size of seeds and high SY, were characterized with high PCA 1 and PCA 2 values. The seed size in second is small but showed low GR and SY, whereas the third has large seed, high GR and more than 400% SY. In genetic similarity analysis using 60 SSR marker genotyping, 72 accessions were classified into three major and several minor groups. Nine of twelve accessions that were identified as the representatives of soybean for sprout based on PCA were in a group by the SSR marker analysis, indicating the SSR marker selection of parental genotypes for soybean sprout improvement program.

우엉 종자를 이용하여 항산화 기능성 새싹채소를 개발하기 위하여 실험을 수행하였다. 우엉 종자는 $25^{\circ}C$ 명조건에서 발아가 가장 왕성하였으며, 4일만에 82%가 발아하였다. 발아 종자를 암조건에서 재배한 결과, $20^{\circ}C$에서 길이 생장이 가장 왕성하였다. 녹화처리는 새싹의 길이생장을 억제하였으나, 자엽의 길이 및 부피생장을 촉진하였다. 수확 후 예냉하여 포장한 우엉 새싹채소는 $4^{\circ}C$보다 $10^{\circ}C$에서 저장할 때 저장 기간이 증가되었다. 포장용기의 통기구는 저장 기간에 영향을 주지 않았다. 0, 1, 2, 3일 녹화처리한 새싹채소의 항산화 활성을 분석한 결과, 우엉 새싹채소의 radical 소거능 및 ferrous ion chelating 효과는 시판중인 브로컬리, 적채, 완두의 새싹채소 및 콩나물보다 우수하였다. 총 폴리페놀 및 플라보노이드의 함량 또한 우수하였으며, 특히 3일 녹화시킨 우엉 새싹채소에서 가장 높은 함량을 보였다. 지질과산화 억제활성은 녹화처리가 길어질수록 우수하였다. 우엉 새싹채소는 우엉의 성체 잎줄기 보다 항산화 효과가 우수하였다. 따라서 우엉 새싹채소는 기능성 채소로써 이용가치가 높은 것으로 생각된다.
