우리나라에서 육성된 콩 품종 90개에 대하여 종자의 발아 전 침종처리에 따른 발아능과 발아율을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 침수량과 침종일수에 따른 콩 종자의 발아력은 침수량이 증가하고, 침종일수가 증가할수록 낮아졌는데, 침수량 90ml와 3일간 침종에서 품종간의 차이가 크게 나타났다. 종자의 수분흡수는 침종 후 6시간까지 급격하게 증가한 후 완만하게 증가하다가 24시간 이후부터는 줄어들었는데, 나물콩의 수분 흡수가 가장 낮았고, 밥밑콩의 수분함량이 가장 낮았다. 용존산소량은 침종 후 3시간까지는 급격히 감소하다가 그 이후에는 완만하게 감소하였는데, 풋콩 및 올콩은 침종 3시간 후부터 용존산소량이 가장 낮았으나 24시간이후에는 다른 용도의 콩에 비해 높아졌다. 전기전도율과 TDS는 침종 후 시간이 경과함에 따라 증가하였는데 풋콩 및 올콩이 가장 높았고, 다음으로 장류콩, 밥밑콩이 높았으며 종자의 크기가 작은 나물콩이 가장 낮았다. 침종 후 발아율이 높은 품종은 장류콩에서는 장수콩, 나물콩에서는 소백나물콩, 밥밑콩에서는 선흑콩, 그리고 풋콩 및 올콩에서는 선록콩이었으며, 발아율이 낮은 품종은 장류콩에서는 익산과 송학콩, 나물콩에서는 방사콩, 밥밑콩에서는 진율콩, 풋콩 및 올콩에서는 신록콩이었다. 전기전도율과 TDS가 낮은 품종들은 발아율이 높았고, 높은 품종은 발아율이 낮은 경향이었다. 종자의 수분흡수가 낮은 품종들은 발아율이 높아 수분흡수와 발아율은 부의 상관이 있었다. 종자의 무게가 높은 품종은 전기전도율과 TDS가 높았으며, 종자의 무게가 낮은 품종은 전기전도율과 TDS도 낮아 정의 상관이 있었다. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of pre-germination soaking on germination in 90 Korean soybean varieties and identification of protein in seeds of 7 soybean varieties. The results obtained that germination rate of soybean seeds was decreased as amount of soaking water and soaking duration in number of days. Difference in germination rate of soybean seeds was significant at three days soaking with water volume of 90 ml. Water absorption of seeds was rapidly increased during the first 6 hours, followed by slow increase until 24 hours and then decreased 24 to 48 hours after soaking soybean varieties for bean sprout soaked the lowest amount of water, while soybean varieties for cooking with rice showed the lowest seed water content. Dissolved oxygen (DO) in soaking water was rapidly decreased during the first 3 hours after soaking, and then slowly decreased. Soybean varieties for vegetable and early maturity showed the lowest DO during early soaking periods, but showed higher DO after 24 hours than other groups of soybean varieties. Electrical conductivity and Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) were increased as number of soaking days increased. Soybean varieties for vegetable and early maturity showed the highest electrical conductivity and TDS, followed by those for sauce and paste or cooking with rice, while showed the lowest electrical conductivity and TDS, varieties for bean sprout. Among 90 Korean soybean varieties, varieties which showed the highest germination rate were Jangsu-kong for sauce and paste, Sobaegnamul-kong for bean sprout, Seonheuk-kong for cooking with rice, Seunnokkong for vegetable and early maturity. On the ather hand varieties which showed the lowest germination rate were Iksan and Songhak-kong for sauce and paste, Pangsa-kong for bean sprout, Jinyeul-kong for cooking with rice, Sinlok-kong for vegetable and early maturity. Germination rates of soybean seeds were higher when electrical conductivity, TDS and water absorption of seeds were lower. There were negative correlations between electrical conductivity, TDS and water absorption of seeds and germination rate, while there were positive correlations among electrical conductivity, TDS and soybean seed weight.

The purpose of this study is to identify major factors affecting the manufacture and quality of steamed bread, consumed in Southeast Asia including China, Japan, and Korea. Hence, flours of 11 Korean wheat cultivars were used to evaluate quality attributes of two different styles of steamed bread, Korean style steamed bread (KSSB) and northern-style Chinese steamed bread (NSCSB). KSSB prepared more ingredients and higher optimum water absorption of dough than NSCSB because Korean consumers prefer white and glossy surface and soft crumb. KSSB showed lower height, larger diameter and volume of steamed bread, higher stress relaxation, and softer texture of crumb than NSCSB. The correlation between flour characteristics and quality of steamed bread was different in KSSB and NSCSB. About 90% of variability in the height and volume of KSSB could be predicted from protein content, mixing tolerance of Mixograph, average particle size of flour, final viscosity and solvent retention capacity. Protein content and quality parameters also could explain the variation of steamed bread height in NSCSB. Korean wheat carrying Glu-A3c allele produced higher volume of steamed bread (704.7 mL) than Glu-A3d allele (645.8 mL) in KSSB, although there was no significant difference in volume of NSCSB by glutenin compositions. Glu-D1d and Glu-A3c alleles had softer texture of crumb than Glu-D1f and Glu-A3d alleles in KSSB, Glu-B3i allele also showed lower hardness of crumb than their counterpart allele in NSCSB. Hard wheat showed higher height and volume of steamed bread, and lower stress relaxation and hardness of crumb than soft wheat in KSSB.
Cadmium (Cd) stress may cause serious morphological and physiological abnormalities in addition to altering the proteome in plants. The present study was performed to explore Cd-induced morpho-physiological alterations and their potential associated mechanisms in Sorghum bicolor leaves at the protein level. Ten-day-old sorghum seedlings were exposed to different concentrations (0, 100, and 150 μM) of CdCl2, and different morpho-physiological responses were recorded. The effects of Cd exposure on protein expression patterns in S. bicolor were investigated using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) in samples derived from the leaves of both control and Cd-treated seedlings. The observed morphological changes revealed that the plants treated with Cd displayed dramatically altered shoot lengths, fresh weights and relative water content. In addition, the concentration of Cd was markedly increased by treatment with Cd, and the amount of Cd taken up by the shoots was significantly and directly correlated with the applied concentration of Cd. Using the 2-DE method, a total of 33 differentially expressed protein spots were analyzed using MALDI-TOF/TOF MS. Of these, treatment with Cd resulted in significant increases in 15 proteins and decreases in 18 proteins. Major changes were absorbed in the levels of proteins known to be involved in carbohydrate metabolism, transcriptional regulation, translation and stress responses. Proteomic results revealed that Cd stress had an inhibitory effect on carbon fixation, ATP production and the regulation of protein synthesis. Our study provides insights into the integrated molecular mechanisms involved in responses to Cd and the effects of Cd on the growth and physiological characteristics of sorghum seedlings. We have aimed to provide a reference describing the mechanisms involved in heavy metal damage to plants.
