Spider mite is the most concerned pest in apple production. This study compared and analyzed the historical changes of two mite pests, Tetranychus urticae koch and Panonychus ulmi (Koch) in 16-30 representative apple orchards in the major apple production area; Gyeongnam, Gyeongbuk, and Jeonbuk province of Korea from 1992 to 2007. Monthly sampling of 100 leaves per orchard provided the basic data of population density of two mite species. Among those orchards, chemical spray history was also analyzed from four orchards, which could be representatives of IPM practitioners. It was found that overall population densities of T. urticae were higher than those of P. ulmi for 16 years. Before 2000, T. urticae was dominant over P. ulmi in most orchards. However since 2000, P. ulmi have occurred more than or as much as T. urticae.. Moreover, although there was large fluctuation of occurrences of two mite species over the years and localities, spider mite pressure appeared to decrease, in general. It seemed to relate the timing of ground cover management with pheromone-based IPM implementation nationwide from late 90s. Panonychus ulmi appeared to rise in April and July in general, fall in August, and go up again in the late season; September-October, while T. urticae appeared to begin to rise in June with July or August peak and sometime with late season second peak in October. Application frequency of acaricide has been dropped from four times in the late 1990s to 2.5 times in the late 2000s.

뻐ny studìes have shown the anti-proli ferative effects of irondeprivation on cancer cell s‘ but the effects 01' iron-chelators on oral cancer have not been clearly elucidated , To investigate the effects of an iron chelato r, desferrioxamine( 01"O).on the growth of ilIllTIortali zed human o1'al ke ratinocytes(IHOK), primary oraJ cancer cel ls(HN4)‘ metastatic oral cancer cell s(HN12) , and human skin keratìnocytes(HaCaT) in the MTr assay, three-dimensional(3D) raft cul tmes, Western blott ing, cell cycJ e analysis‘ nuclear staining‘ and cytochrome c expression for apoptosis s ig naling pathway were used OFO inhibited the growth of immortalized IHOK and HaCaT and mal ignant HN4 and HN12 keratinocytes in a time- and dose-dependent manner according to the MTT assay, The 3D organotypic cu l tu re also revealed that OF'O-treated cells showed less epithelial maturation, less surface keratinizati on‘ and de creased epithelia l thickness, The major mechanìsm of growth inhìbition with the micromolar 0 1"0 treatment was by the induction of apoptosis‘ which was supported by nuclear OAPI staining, ONA fragmentation analysis, and J10w cytometric analysis for sub-Gl phase ar rest and Annexin V-1"ITC stainìng, Furthermore‘ Bax expression in creased together with p53 and p21WAF1!CIPl, whìle the Bcl-2 expression decreased in the immortalized and malig nant keratinocytes treated with 01"0 , Time-dependent cytochrome c from mitochondria was observed in D1"O-treated [l-IOK and 0 1'머 cancel‘ ceJJ s, and was accompanied by the activation of caspase-3 in IHOK cells. These resu lts demonstrate that 0 1"0 has growth inhibitory effects on immortalized and malignant oral keratinocyLes Lhrough the induction of apoptosis and suggest that further evaluation of OFO as a potcntial thcrapcutic agent for human oral precancerous and cancerous lesions is warranted
