본 연구에서는 추출보조공정으로서 초음파 처리에 따른 녹차의 성분특성 변화를 분석하기 위하여, 60℃에서 1, 5, 30, 60분간 열수추출하고, 동일온도에서 초음파 추출하여 각각 가용성 고형분, vitamin C, 총 페놀성 화합물, flavonols, catechins, caffeine, free amino acids 함량을 분석하였다. 가용성 고형분 함량은 초음파 처리에 의해 약 4~5%의 추출수율이 증가하였다. Viamin C 함량은 1, 5, 30분에서는 각각 약 0.21, 0.16, 0.31 mg/g 증가하였지만, 60분 처리구에서는 대조구와 비교해 2.47 mg/g에서 2.22 mg/g으로 감소하였고, 총 페놀성 화합물 함량이 약 10~13 mg/g 증가하였다. Flavonols는 myricetin이 4.77 mg/100g에서 9.94 mg/100g, quercetin은 10.97 mg/100g에서 20.84 mg/100g, kaempferol은 7.95 mg/100g에서 17.33 mg/100g으로 초음파 처리에 의해 약 2배 이상 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 초음파 처리에 의해 녹차 침출액의 EGCG, EGC, ECG, EC, (+)-C 함량이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 경향과는 달리, 유리아미노산의 경우는 초음파 처리에 따른 영향이 거의 없었고, 추출시간이 길어짐에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 결론적으로 초음파 처리에 의해 녹차의 vitamin C, 총 페놀 화합물, flavonol류, catechins의 추출이 증가함을 알 수 있었고, 따라서 녹차 가공에 있어 초음파 처리가 매우 효율적인 추출보조공정으로 사용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.

이 연구에서는 녹차를 이용한 친환경 복합보드를 건축내장재로의 활용을 위하여, 녹차의 다양한 기능성과 목재섬유의 우수한 강도특성을 살려 녹차-목재섬유 복합보드를 제작하였고, 녹차-목재섬유 복합보드의 정 적 휨강도성능에 미치는 녹차와 목재섬유 배합비율 및 접착제의 영향을 조사하였다. 녹차-목재섬유복합보드 의 휨 강도성능은 녹차의 배합에 따라 대조보드 (control 보드) 보드의 그것보다 감소하였는데, 그 감소비율 은 전반적으로 녹차배합비율이 증가할수록 커지는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한, 보드제조에 사용된 수지의 종 류에 따라 강도성능의 차이가 나타났는데, 포름알데히드 방산량이 많은 E1급 요소수지가 E0급 요소수지보 다 휨 탄성계수에서는 1.08∼1.53배 그리고 휨 강도는 1.19∼1.82배의 더 높은 값을 나타내었으며, 녹차의 배합비율이 커질수록 양자의 차이는 커지는 것이 확인되었다. 휨 강도는 E1급 요소수지의 경우, 시판용 중밀 도섬유판 (medium density fiberboard, MDF)의 0.94∼1.03배의 값을 나타내어 시판용 중밀도섬유판과 거 의 차이가 없었고, 녹차와 목재섬유를 복합한 우수한 친환경 기능성복합보드제조가 가능한 것이 밝혀졌다.

Pyrifluquinazon, as a quinazinalone chemical group, based on a new mode of biological activity. It is reported that mode of action is modifies insect behavior, rapidly stopping feeding such that insects starve to death. Time-release feature and mortality effect on M. persicae using different pyrifluquinazon nano type and non-nano type were compared. Pyrifluquinazon nano type was formulated with different molecular weight and density of used chitosan (CS 30000 0.1% and CS 3000 0.3%). In the CS 30,000 0.1%, the mortality was weakly occurred at early time, but steadily increased after 4days. Finally, we confirmed more than 70% mortality as a peak at 16days. In CS 3000 0.3%, the mortality showed about 70% until 18days as a effective controlled release. Also, We examine time-release feature and mortality effect on M. persicae according to the different pyrifluquinazon nano type(CS 30000 0.1% and CS 3000 0.3%) of concentrations. The CS 30000 0.1% bioassay results of different concentration were showed that the highest concentration(100ppm) was measured better mortality than other concentration at 0 day, but cannot confirm different effect about dissimilar concentration. However, increasing rates of M. persicae were low as treatment concentrate was high. In CS 3000 0.3% 100ppm concentration bioassay result, aphid mortality reached peak at 24 days and increasing rate also low. Additionally, for the comparing of bioassay and feeding behavior of M. persicae against pyrifluquinazon nano types and non-nano type, EPG technique was carried out. In case of non nano type, feeding inhibition efficacy was showed during 4 days after treatment, but appeared similar level with control after 10days. In CS 3000 0.3% 50ppm, residual efficacy was specially showed until 28days after treatment whereas treatments with CS 30000 0.1% were similar to the control after 22days. These result show that the change of feedinng behavior and motrality of M. persicae is correlated with the change of nano type or non nano type of pyrifluquinazon.

Plant penetration by aphids can be monitored electrically by the electrical penetration graph (EPG) technique. To confirm whether some behaviors are correlated to specific graph pattern in EPG, we analyzed the two synchronized data, EPG and video records. We recorded electrical penetration graph (EPG) and behaviors of aphids simultaneously. Then we compared the behaviors of aphids with the recorded EPG waveforms in order to match their visible behaviors and invisible behaviors with stylet. The visible behaviors were categorized for walking, wagging, honeydew production, and reproduction. When the aphids were generally motionless, the EPG denoted feeding-related waveforms (E1, E2, F and G). Whereas, probing waveforms (B and pd) frequently occurred when they were wagging. We aim to present the correlation between observed behaviors and EPG patterns.

The Green Peach aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer, is one of the most widespread insect pests worldwide. We established the ethogram of this species during the pre-reproductive period to understand the behavioral repertoire, organization of behaviors, and the context in which they occur. The behaviors that we observed include honeydew production (HDP), walking, wagging, pre-molting and molting. We noted the frequency and the amount of time for each behavior at different nymphal stages. As the nymphal stage increased, the rate of HDP decreased. The HDP seemed to occurred at regular duration and interval in each nymphal stage, while the wagging and walking seemed to be irregular behaviors. When wagging occurred before HDP, the successive HDP was significantly delayed, suggesting that aphids might not feed during wagging. Due to regularity through all nymphal-stages, HPD can be used for a good behavioral indicator in the related bioassay.

The green peach aphid, Myzuspersicae Sulzer, is one of the most important insect pest in the world. To assess the efficiency of sound wave to control aphids, we treated a different combination of intensity (66dB, 78dB, 90dB) and frequency (100Hz, 500Hz, 1000Hz) of acoustic stimulus to the aphids. Then we analyzed aphid’s behaviors occurred in each different combination group of acoustic stimulus and control group, and compared them to confirm the most effective sound. We used honey-dew-production (HDP) for behavioral bioassay, which occurs regularly in each nymphal stage and adult period. The rate of HDP decreased in the whole experimental group when compared with control group (F1,358=79.415,P<0.0001). The most effective acoustic frequency was100Hz in which aphids reduced the rate of HDP to approximately 1/3 times lower than that of control group. The treatments of 1000Hz and 500Hz were effective in the order of appearance. The effect of acoustic stimulus seems irregular in the different intensities, and the highest intensity did not show the strongest effect in each frequency. Consequently, the rate of HDP seemed to be affected by the acoustic frequency more than the intensity.

In Korea, agricultural environment has been rapidly changed by several factors and the directions of agricultural policy of government have not been maintained by the sudden changes in recent years. The paradigm of agriculture policy is shifted from the maintenance and conservation of agricultural production to the increase of economic, social and ecological value based on agricultural profitability. The agricultural policy and production system are changed by following main social concerns; first the concern of the exhaustion of natural resources, second the quality of life is decreased by the physical and biological change of climate disturbance, third the deterioration of living environment by human activity and finally, the attention of food security by the unbalance and decrease of food production. Furthermore, in spite of low food (23%) and energy (29%) self-sufficiency, it would seem that the importance of the expansion and improvement of food production is not considered by agricultural policy makers. The foundation of agricultural production is collapsed and weakened because the policy makers decide to relegate the importance of food production to lower priority. Our present life style will be changed by the exhaustion of carbon energy. As a result, the production system of agricultural products will be improved and the price of the products will be increased. It is discussed how our agricultural environment will be changed with the surroundings, what factors, specially climate changes, will be considered to research pest management, and how the strategy of green pest management based on sustainable agriculture will be possible.

A survey on the quality improvement and preference for green onion kimchi by Chinese and Japanese consumers was conducted by 30 Korean specialists in order to develop an improved green onion kimchi product. The long green onion shape, kimchi juice, seasonings, off-odor of fermented sea food, and stimulatory flavor of green onion were the main issues considered for the improvement of green onion product. Usage of the favorite ingredients of the Chinese and Japanese consumers was also suggested. The percentages of Chinese and Japanese who already knew green onion kimchi were 54.1% and 30.3%, respectively, whereas 46.8% of Chinese and 28.1% of Japanese have actually tried green onion kimchi in Korea. There was no significant difference in the preference for green onion kimchi between Chinese (3.25/5.0) and Japanese (3.17/5.0) consumers. For recommendations for improving the quality of green onion, Chinese consumers thought off-flavor, fibrous texture, and fermentation level were more significant while the Japanese considered red color, various taste, MSG content, and length of green onion. Seasoned tofu with green onion and rice were suggested as complementary foods to green onion kimchi by the Chinese and Japanese, respectively.

To control Thrips tabaci in Korean leek and green onion which grow at vinyl house in IKSAN, Jeollabuk-do, the non-treatment was set as negative control. In general treatment group, 120 mesh gauze was installed on the side window after planting(May, 2nd) and, in spring, Orius strigicollis (1.0/m2) was grazed 3 times every 7 days from mid of May which is early development stage and In the mid of June, which is the peak stage, plant extracts were sprayed one time. In autumn, O. strigicollis was grazed 3 times every 7 days from mid of September which is early development stage, and in the mid of October, which is the peak stage, plant extracts were sprayed one time. The result shows that the leaf damage ratio was decreased by 22% in Korean leek and by 27% in green onion compared to the untreatment. And the control value of Thrips tabaci shows 78.7% in korean leak and 90.6% in green onion. The density control effect of Thrips tabaci was significantly controlled under max 6.2/plant in general treatment group compared max 25/plant in the untreatment and this result was similar in green onion. The yields by general treatment was increased by 85% in Korean leek and 56% in green onion, compared with non-treatment yields, which was 900kg/10a in Korean leek and 1,287kg/10a in green onion.

Accurate estimation of pest density is a prerequisite in achieving efficient pest management. An automatic pest detection system with image processing was installed on a robot to recognize brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorphahalys) on leaves of paprika(Capsicumannuumvar.angulosum). The shape of pest was recognized and subsequently the robot arm was moved toward the leaves to spray pesticides. The detection system was efficient along with increasing population densities increased. The robot with image processing system was useful for estimating population densities in spatial and temporal domain efficiently.

Developmental time, mummification, pupal mortality, sex ratio of a South Korean strain of Aphelinus varipes Förster parasitizing the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae were studied at 20, 25 and 30℃ in controlled climate cabinets. Plastic container with sweet pepper(Capsicum annuum L.) were used as experimental units. Green peach aphid in different larval instars and as adults, reared at the three different temperatures, were presented to A. varipes in a 'no-choice' and 'choice' situation for 6h. These presentations were done at 25℃ in each experiment to avoid an influence of temperature on parasitization rate. In case of no-choice test, more 1st(24%), 2nd(22%) and 3rd(38%) instar aphids were parasitized than 4th(14%) instar and adult(10%) among the aphids reared at 25℃. In case of choice test, more 1st(41%), 2nd(42%) and 3rd(29%) instar aphids were parasitized than 4th(13%) instar and adult(0%) among the aphids reared at 25℃. Pupal mortality of the parasitoid was not influenced by temperatures. The sex ratio of A. varipes was male-biased, and varied between 49.4% females developed from aphids reared at 30℃ and 42.8% from aphids reared at 20℃. The sex ratio was not significantly influenced by host stages. The developmental time of A. varipes parasitizing the green peach aphid ranged from 26.1days at 20℃ to 11.1days at 30℃.

The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, is one of the most widespread insect pest worldwide. We documented all behaviors of this species during the pre-reproductive period to understand the behavioral repertoire, organization of behaviors, and the context in which they occur. The behaviors that we observed include honey-dew production, walking, wagging, and molting. Honey-dew production occurred regularly at every 30-60 min throughout all nymphal stages. Walking seemed to occur when the host condition was not good, probably related to searching for a new host. Wagging, which was the turning of abdomen with the stylet in the plant, was also frequently observed, but the function of this behavior was unclear. We also noted the frequency and the amount of time for each behavior at different nymphal stages.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of green tea extract on aluminum-induced damage to phospholipid content in old rat cerebral tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility that aluminum is the cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Forty Sprague-Dawley old male rats weighing 350±10 g were divided into four groups, consisting of a control group (CON), 40 ppm aluminum sulfate group (Al-40), green tea water extract group (GTWE), and 40 ppm aluminum sulfate and green tea water extract groups (Al-40+GTWE) and kept on their respective diets for 12 weeks. In order to discover the influence of aluminum on cerebral tissue of old male rats, the serum aluminum concentration and phospholipid composition were compared between the aluminum-treated group and the normal group. The results showed that the serum aluminum concentration was higher in the aluminum sulfate-treated group than in the normal group. The cerebral tissue phospholipid concentration decreased significantly in the aluminum sulfate treated group as compared to the normal group. The results of this experiment show that increase of aluminum concentration in experimental animals causes the rise of serum aluminum and phospholipid concentrations, phenomena that are very similar to those shown in Alzheimer’s disease., The results of this experiment, together with reports that aluminum is a cause of neurofibrillary tangles in cerebral tissue, therefore demonstrate the possibility that aluminum is the cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Green tea water extract is also shown to be an effective therapeutic candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
