Quantitative changes in functional constituents of waxy corn (Zea mays L.) by 5 different thermal pretreatments, including roasting, steaming, microwave, puffing, and extruding, were determined and compared with those of the raw waxy corn. There were no significant differences in fatty acid compositions among the corn treated with 5 thermal treatments. Levels of $\alpha$- and $\gamma$-tocopherols, soluble amino acids, and phytosterols decreased by thermal treatments, while those of p-coumaric and ferulic acids considerably increased by thermal treatments. In particular, the contents of tocopherols and phytosterols, and souble amino acid decreased significant in the steaming and puffing processes, respectively, whereas those of 2 free cinnamic acids increased significantly in the steaming and puffing processes. The extruding process showed smaller quantitative changes in tocopherols, phytosterols, and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives compared to other heat pretreatments. These results suggest that the extruding process have a positive effect on valuable phytochemicals in waxy corn.

The role of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in the phytoremediation of heavy-metal-contaminated soils is important in overcoming its limitations for field application. A plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium, Serratia sp. SY5, was isolated from the rhizoplane of barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) grown in petroleum and heavy-metal-contaminated soil. This isolate has shown capacities for indole acetic acid production and siderophores synthesis. Compared with a non-inoculated control, the radicular root growth of Zea mays seedlings inoculated with SY5 can be increased by 27- or 15.4-fold in the presence of 15 mg-Cd/l or 15 mg-Cu/l, respectively. The results from hydroponic cultures showed that inoculation of Serratia sp. SY5 had a favorable influence on the initial shoot growth and biomass of Zea mays under noncontaminated conditions. However, under Cd-contaminated conditions, the inoculation of SY5 significantly increased the root biomass of Zea mays. These results indicate that Serratia sp. SY5 can serve as a promising microbial inoculant for increased plant growth in heavy-metal-contaminated soils to improve the phytoremediation efficiency.

The purpose of the present study was to design and prepare the optimum formulation for the oral administration of titrated extract of the unsaponifiable fraction of Zea mays L. (ETIZM). For this purpose, we simulated the blood concentration of ETIZM after its oral administration, changing the dissolution rate constants $(0.05{\sim}20\;hr^{-1})$. In vivo parameters, such as absorption rate constant $(k_a)$, elimination rate constant (k) and volume of distribution (Vd), were incorporated in the simulation on the basis of the experiments and literatures. When the dissolution rate constant $(k_r)$ is over $5\;hr^{-1}$, the absorption process appears to be the rate limiting step for the transport of ETIZM from the G.I. ract to the blood circulation. While less than $5\;hr^{-1}$, the dissolution rate considered to be the rate limiting step. Moreover, the optimum blood concentration was shown in the range from 1 to $5\;hr^{-1}$ of $k_r$ in the simulation. To design and prepare the tablets on the basis of the above results, 7 formula containing HPMC, PEG 4000 and PEG 6000 (1-5%, respectively) were prepared and evaluated. The tablets containing PEG 4000 (1%), PEG 6000 (1%) or PEG 4000 (5%) satisfy the optimum $k_r$ range ($1-5\;hr^{-1}$). These formulations, therefore, will be able to show the more effective blood concentration, compared with the commercial products after the oral administration.

항산화활성이 높은 찰옥수수를 육종하고, 옥수수의 항산화활성에 가장 큰 효과를 나타내는 물질을 추적하고자, 찰옥수수 자식계통과 재래종의 항산화활성을 측정하고 페놀성화합물, tocopherols, carotenoids의 함량을 측정하였다. 전자공여능에 의한 항산화활성은 $15.5{\sim}65.0%$였고, 페놀성화합물은 $102.3{\sim}323.5\;{\mu}g/mL$였으며, tocopherols는 $15.6{\sim}144.2\;{\mu}g/mL$였고, A450의 값은 $0.047{\sim}0.206$였다. 4종의 검정찰옥수수는 항산화활성이 48.7%, 페놀성화합물은 $267.0\;{\mu}g/mL$, tocopherols은 $87.0\;{\mu}g/mL$로 상당히 높았다. 항산화활성과 페놀성화합물, tocopherols의 함량과는 고도의 상관관계가 있었으나 carotenoids와는 유의성이 없었다.

새로운 17종의 imazapyr 유도체인 3-(N-methyl-N(X)-치환-phenylaminooxoacetyl)-2-(4-isopropyl-5-oxo-2-imidazoline-2-yl)pyridine, 6을 합성하고 3-(N-methyl-N(X)-치환-phenylaminooxoacetyl group중의 X-치환기 변화에 따른 구조와 옥수수(Zea mays L.)와 참비듬(Amaranthus viridis L.)에 대한 발아 전의 제초활성에 미치는 관계(SAR)를 검토 한 바, 옥수수의 경우에는 MR상수의 적정값(optimal value)이 $5.56\;cm^3/mol$이었으므로 이 값보다 크거나 작을수록 제초활성이 작았다. 참비듬의 경우에는 $L_1$상수의 적정값이 3.34 A이므로 이 값에 가까울수록 제초활성이 클 것임을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 2,5-difluoro group 치환체, 6i는 참비듬에 가장 큰 제초활성을 나타내었으나 옥수수에는 가장 작은 제초활성을 미치므로써 현저하게 두 초종간에 선택성을 나타내는 화합물이었다.

Analyses of now karyotypes using different maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines have been performed. The accumulation and isolation of high quality and quantity metaphase chromosomes from root tips can be achieved from many kinds of maize lines. The chromosome suspensions were prepared by a simple slicing method from synchronized maize root tips and analyzed with a now cytometry. The variations of experimental now karyotypes were detected among inbred lines in terms of the positions and/or the numbers of chromosome peaks. The 2C DNA amount among 8 inbred lines ranged from 5.09 to 5.52 pg. The variability of DNA content in maize chromosome 1 was 9.1 % ranging from 0.685 to 0.747 pg. The selection of appropriate maize lines is critical for sorting specific single chromosome types. At least five different chromosome types can be discriminated and sorted from five maize lines.
