Knowledge of the chromosomal constitution of the ancestors of modern soybean will complement plant breeding efforts to improve agronomic and economic characteristics of soybean. Variation block (VB)-based comparison using genome-wide insertion/deletion (InDel) markers was used on a diverse panel of 147 soybean cultivars to assess the impact of chromosomal changes during modern breeding. There were identical variation patterns of the examined InDels consistently appearing in the genome parts arising from parental varieties, indicating that soybean chromosomes in descendants should be all determined by genetic reshuffling of VBs inherited from parental chromosomes. Structure analysis of the accessions through the 202 InDels separated the accessions into four subgroups. Gene introgression revealed by the structure analysis agreed with the fact that a limited number of landraces and elite varieties were introduced and used as donors for breeding soybean cultivars in pedigree analysis. Especially, VBs became more reshuffled over time as a result of the breeding process, which resulted in using breeding parents with new VB-types for improving the end-use value of soybean. Therefore, their clustering using the 202 VB-specific InDels is strongly influenced by the difference in breeding ancestors among the subgroups. This indicates that the 202 InDel markers are very useful for genetic study by analyzing the reshuffling patterns of the parental genomes in the descendant.
국내에서 육성된 벼 품종의 저장관련 기초기반연구로 저온 플라즈마를 이용하여 현미와 백미의 저장에 따른 미생물 생육변화를 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 플라즈마는 컨테이너형 유전격벽 플라즈마로 공기방전을 이용하여 고품질 밥쌀용 품종인 삼광과 가공용 품종인 팔방미를 0, 10 및 20분간 처리하여 4, 25℃에서 2달간 저장하여 분석하였다. 플라즈마 처리한 현미 및 백미의 일반호기성미생물 분석결과 저장 초기에는 현미의 경우 2.99~3.49 log CFU/g, 백미는 2.65~3.35 log CFU/g이 검출되었으며, 8주 저장 시 플라즈마 처리군이 0.62~1.11 log CFU/g 적게 생육되었다. 곰팡이의 경우 저장 초기에는 품종에 관계없이 현미는 2.16~2.40 log CFU/g, 백미는 1.82~2.16 log CFU/g이 검출되었다. 특히 플라즈마 20분 처리한 백미의 경우 저온 저장하였을 때, 곰팡이가 검출한계 이하로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 저온 플라즈마 기술은 현미와 백미의 저장 중 미생물 생육을 억제하는 것으로 나타났으며 미생물학적 품질 변화의 최소화를 위하여 저온저장이 효과적이라고 판단된다.
This study compared physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities according to different harvest times in five varieties of black rice (BR). Five cultivars of BR, Nunkeunheukchal (NKHC), Sinnongheugchal (SNHC), Sintoheugmi (STHM), Josaengheugchal (JSHC), and Heugjinju (HJJ), were selected for the study. Cultivars were transplanted on June 20th and cultivated by the Department of Southern Area Crop Science, NICS in Miryang, Korea. Heading dates of NKHC, SNHC, STHM, JSHC, and HJJ were Aug. 17th, Aug. 30th, Sep. 1st, Aug. 20th, and Aug. 12th, respectively. The five different harvest times were as follows; 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55 days after heading date. The highest level of anthocyanin was 35 days after heading date in all varieties. Levels of anthocyanin in NKHC, SNHC, STHM, JSHC, and HJJ were 164, 203, 251, 67, and 210 mg/100 g, respectively. Content of anthocyanin significantly decreased 35 days after heading in four varieties, excluding JSHC. Highest DPPH IC 50 values were 57, 29, 10, and 27 μg/mL in NKHC, SN HC, STHM, and JSHC extracts, respectively. Highest ABTS IC 50 values were 24, 13, 9, and 11 μg/mL in NKHC, SNHC, STHM, and JSHC extracts, respectively. The antioxidant activities were highest 35 days after the heading date and significantly decreased in four varieties, excluding HJJ. The antioxidant activity of HJJ showed no significant difference, according to harvest time. This study suggests that the content of anthocyanin and antioxidant activity could be considered as factors affecting optimal harvest period to produce highly qualified black rice.
We investigated physicochemical properties of puffed snacks with intermediate and high amylose rice varieties. The intermediate amylose rice varieties ‘Sindongjin’ and high amylose rice varieties newly developed for food processing, ‘Dodamssal’ and ‘Goami4’ were tested for this study. The crude fat and crude protein contents of the rice cultivars ranged 1.47-3.08% and 6.30-7.63%, respectively. The resistant starch and amylose contents of Dodamssal and Goami4 were higher than those of Sindongjin. The hardness of rice was the highest in Sindongjin and Dodamssal. Also, Hardness of puffed snacks decreased by 72.07% for Sindongjin, 88.21% for Dodamssal and 66.67% for Goami4 compared to raw rice samples. The sensory evaluation showed that the highest scores in taste, texture and overall acceptability of puffed snacks were obtained in Dodamssal. The results of this study indicate that Dodamssal was suitable varieties for puffed snacks. Also, the physicochemical properties of Dodamssal were improved by the extrusion process. Therefore Dodamssal can be used for the industrial production of puffed snacks.
