The tobacco cutworm, Spodoptera litura(Fabricius) is serious pest that hurts tomato crops, actives long time of the year. Without pesticide applications, sex pheromone delta traps through experiment first and second half setting during cultural seasons in glasshouse and greenhouse. We investigated captured number of S. litura both in and out side of the two type of tomato cultivated greenhouse. As a result of investigation, captured number of S. litura showed the wave and three high peak typed graph throughout 10 months experiment. First time expression of S. litura was late April in outside installed traps and after that occurrence rate increased gradually until late August. In september, the rate decreased remarkably to middle November in both in and out side treated traps. The result also expressed that captured average number of S. litura in inside of the greenhouse were 8~10 units, and were 15~20units in outside treated traps. Simultaneous installation of internal and external sex pheromone traps succeeded in eliminating a considerable number of S. litura male moths, and the number of larvae was expected to be considerably reduced. Consequently in the experiment, captured male number of S. litura were about 220 units in outside, on the other about 80 of S. litura captured in inside installed traps.

애기유리나방의 성페로몬인 Z,Z-3,13-octadecadien-1-ol (Z3,Z13-18:OH)을 이용한 교미교란 효과를 검증하기 위하여 경남(진주)과 전남(순천)의 단감원에서 2016년부터 2년간 실험을 하였다. 2016년에는 순천과 진주A, 진주B의 세 단감원에 성페로몬 5 ㎎/septum을 각 나무마다 한 개씩 처리하여 교미교란 효과를 확인하였다. 그 결과, 순천과 진주A 과수원에서는 100 %의 교미교란 효과를 나타내었지만 진주B 과수원에서는 효과가 전혀 없었다. 2015년과 2016년 같은 기간에 애기유리나방의 밀도를 조사 결과 진주A 과수원에 비해 진주B 과수원의 애기유리나방 밀도가 약 6.7배 많은 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그리하여 2017년 제1화기 때에 진주B 과수원에서 성페로몬 량을 10 ㎎/septum로 늘려서 실험한 결과 교미교란 효과가 66.7%로 낮았다. 2017 2화기 때에 다시 진주A 과수원으로 장소를 옮겨 실험한 결과 100 %의 교미교란 효과가 있는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과로 보아 교미교란 효과는 페로몬 량 뿐 아니라 지형의 영향도 받는 것으로 판단된다.

Azuki bean beetle (ABB), Callosobruchus chinensis (L.) is a field-to-storage pest of legumes. It is ideal to estimate its field population before it invades the stored legume stuffs. The seasonal occurrence was monitored with rocket traps supplied with synthetic female sex pheromone and with sweep netting during 2015-2016. Harvest damage was evaluated by taking purposive samples of the pods at harvest. Over-wintering stage was identified from the pod samples of left over plants. The results ascertained that October was the peak season of ABB in the azuki bean field. Grain damage and weight loss of the harvested azuki bean were 2.7% and 2.4% respectively, which could be the inoculum for storage loss. The adult emergence only from live pupae collected from pods revealed for its most probable over-wintering stage. In all, this study provides insight into some field ecological parameters of ABB that could be helpful in adopting its management strategies.

Plant essential oils (EOs) exhibit an array of biological activities against insect pests. However, their negative influences on the pheromonal activity of azuki bean beetle (ABB), Callosobruchus chinensis L., the field-to-storage pest of legumes, have not received research attentions. We evaluated the effects of three EOs and their two major components on the attractiveness of male ABBS to synthetic homofarnesal (2E- : 2Z-homofarnesal = 6:4) using Y-tube olfactometry in laboratory and rocket traps in the semi-open vinyl house. The tested EOs of Illicium verum, Croton anisatum and Gaultheria fragrantissima as well as the major components, trans-anethole and methyl salicylate ascertained significant negative effect against homofarnesal both in Y-tube olfactometry and in semi-open vinyl house tracing out a new opportunity of integrating them in ABB management programs both in field and storage.

Moderately diverse, but very abundant trace fossils are found from the Late Pleistocene deposits of Jeju Island, Korea. Vertical I-, Y- and U-shaped domichnia of annelids or decapods are, over 2500, extremely abundant, 3D network domichnia of callianassids are, over 200, very abundant, and small sinuous trails of nematode repichnia are, over 50, abundant in number. Horizontal trails attributable to polychaete or worm-like animals are, less than 50, common, but horizontal spreiten burrows, fish traces and crab trackways are, less than 10, rare in occurrence. Of these trace fossils, Taenidium barretti, Undichna britannica and Undichna unisulca represent the first record from the Pleistocene in Asia. Psilonichnus upsilon is the second record in Asia. Crab trackways probably produced by underwater punting gait of sideway walking crabs may represent the first record in the world. In addition, diverse and very abundant footprints of more than 500 hominids, more than 200 birds and more than 1000 mammals are closely associated with these invertebrate trace fossils. Trace fossil assemblage integrated with sedimentary facies is interpreted to have been formed in the marginal marine foreshore to backshore environment corresponding to the Psilonichnus and Skolithos ichnofacies.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of chiropractic treatment on the alignment of the lower extremities and plantar pressure in subjects with pelvic misalignment. The study included 20 subjects with pelvic misalignment. They were divided into two groups: the chiropractic treatment group (n=10) and stretching group (n=10). They performed the intervention for 10 minutes, twice a week, for weeks, and pelvic displacement, functional leg length, and plantar pressure were measured In chiropractic group, both pelvic displacement and plantar pressure distribution were significantly decreased and leg length difference was significantly increased (p<.05). However, in the stretching group, only pelvic displacement was significantly reduced (p<.05), and leg length difference and plantar pressure distribution decreased slightly. There was no significant difference in all variables between the groups. This study suggests that chiropractic and stretching are effective in changing pelvic displacement, leg length difference, and plantar pressure distribution.

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of incentive spirometry and Ujjayi breathing technique on the pulmonary function of smokers. Subjects were individuals who had a smoking habit of at least a year. Subjects were randomly divided into 3 groups: the incentive spirometry group (n=8), Ujjayi breathing technique (n=9), and a group applying both incentive spirometry as well as Ujjayi breathing technique (n=8). Each intervention was performed twice a day, 5 times a week, for a total of 8 weeks whereupon the change in pulmonary function was evaluated. A spirometer was used to measure FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC. The survey used for this study included the Fagerström Test of Nicotine Dependence (FTND) and the Shortness of Breath Questionnaire (SOBQ). Study results for the comparison within groups showed that in the group that performed both the incentive spirometry and Ujjayi breathing technique, FEV1 improved with statistical significance (p<.05). Furthermore, within this comparison the FEV1/FVC improved with statistical significance. Comparison amongst the groups showed no statistically significant differences in all areas. Following, to effectively increase pulmonary function in young adult smokers, both incentive spirometry and Ujjayi breathing technique should be employed together.

본 연구는 UV 조사가 대두 발아 시 이소플라보노이드 함량 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 대두 품종인 ‘풍원콩’을 사용하여 UV-A(315~400nm), UV-B(280~315nm)에 각각 2, 3, 5, 7일동안 광 감응을 하였다. 1일 16시간 광 감응 시켰으며, 증류수를 사용하여 수경재배 하였다. 종자가 발아하여 생육을 하는 동안 자엽, 하배축, 뿌리에서의 물질 변화를 알아보기 위하여 부위별로 나누어 분석하였다. 종자의 발아 후 생장은 암 조건과 UV-A에서 잘 자라며 생육 상태는 UV-A에서 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 폴리 페놀의 경우 자엽, 하배축에서는 UV-A에서 7일차에 함량이 급격히 증가하였으며, 뿌리에서는 UV-B 처리 7일차에 함량이 급격히 증가하였다. 총 플라보노이드 분석은 자엽에서 UV-A와 UV-B를 처리한 생육기간 동안 꾸준한 증가를 보였고 하배축에서는 암 조건과 형광등에서 꾸준히 증가하였다. 뿌리에서는 암 조건 처리구에서 7일차에 급격한 증가를 보였다. 콩의 이소플라보노이드 12종은 부위별로 다른 함량을 나타내었다. 자엽의 경우 7종(Daidzin, Genistin, Malonyl glycitin, Acetyl glycitin, Malonyl genistin, Daidzein, Genistein)의 이소플라보노이드가 함유되어 있었고 하배축과 뿌리에서는 9종(Daidzin, Glycitin, Genistin, Malonyl daidzin, Malonyl glycitin, Malonyl genistin, Glycitein, Acetyl genistin, Genistein)의 이소플라보노이드가 함유 되어 되었다. 자엽에서의 이소플라보노이드 함량은 UV-A를 처리한 곳에서 생육이 진행될 때 감소하는 것이 나타났다. 하배축에서는 이소플라보노이드가 암 상태를 제외한 처리구에서 생육기간동안 감소하다가 다시 증가는 경향을 보였다. 뿌리에서는 이소플라보노이드 함량은 암 조건과 형광등에서는 점차 감소하는 경향을 보이나 UV-A와 UV-B 처리구에서는 감소하다 7일차에 다시 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 전반적으로 콩의 초기 생장 촉진과 높은 이소플라보노이드의 집적은 UV-A 조사에서 가장 효율적 임을 알 수 있었다.

The entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae B is a powerful biological control agent against Monochamusalternatus, a crucial mediator of the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. In this study, production of destruxins(dtxs), insecticidal cyclic hexadepsipeptides, was monitored in the submerged culture of M. anisopliae B. Three typesof dtxs, i.e., destruxin A, B, and E, were produced during the culture. Among the three dtxs, the production yield ofdestruxin A was best, followed by destruxin B and E. Destruxin A production was increased when pH was controlledat 6.0, whereas production of destruxin E was not affected by the pH control. The highest yield of dtxs A, B, and Ewere 16.4, 7.3, and 6.1 mg L-1, respectively. Considering that process for dtxs production has not been optimized, M.anisopliae B has more powerful implication as a biocontrol agent.

The attraction of the tomato whiteflies Trialeurodes vaporariorum, to four type of traps combined with a colored stickyboard and an light emitting lamp was investigated in 2016 in an tomato greenhouse. The colors of the sticky boardswere yellow and the peak wavelengths of the light emitting traps were 470nm(blue), 590nm(yellow) and 450~625nm(white).The type of traps was designed to directly illuminate the plants with an light emitting lamp and set along the lowerpart of the crops whose each sticky board was directed to the plants. This experiments showed that T. vaporariorumadults on average preferred (p>0.05) traps in blue lights(110±3.2adults/trap) compared to traps in yellow lights (71±1.4adults/trap)and white light traps(45±1.1adults/trap). The blue light trap(470nm) showed the most attractive to T. vaporariorum adults,followed by a similarly attraction to the yellow light trap(590nm), whereas the control (no light trap) was little attractiveto T. vaporariorum adults.

This study was carried out to investigate the management characteristics and techniques by comparing and analyzing the process of mixing, sterilization, cooling, inoculation and incubation for bag cultivation of L. edodes. The medium was sterilized after mixing it for 30 minutes, 1 and 2 hours respectively. The general moisture content of the sawdust substrate has been adjusted to 65%, while the case of the L. edodes substrate was 55%. Only 5% of wood chips of 5-8 mm in particle size were mixed to secure the space of the sawdust particles. As a result, mycelial growth was 1.4cm faster and the density was better(+++) than control(++). Wood chips are soaked in advance for a week during winter and 4 days during summer. There is an average number of 1.6x108 (cfu) of microorganisms in the sawdust that has been piled for six months outdoor. In summer, it has to be used immediately after mixing sawdust. High-pressure sterilization should be performed to use as a mushroom spawn, and to improve physical properties, it was great to sterilize the medium at a normal-pressure. There are height and width type for bags to be consumed for bagging. When the height was reduced into 17cm and the width was increased into 13cm, the browning period was shortened by 30 days and the period of mycelial growth was shortened by 25 days. The sterilized medium had an average of 4x103(cfu) of microorganisms at 25°C and 1.3×102 (cfu) at 15°C. After 25 days from inoculation in vitro, the growth condition of sawdust was the best with 13.2 cm, followed by grain spawn and liquid respectively. When inoculated with liquid spawn, the moisture content of substrate should be adjusted to 55% to 50% in advance.

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is an important signaling molecule which mediates many different cellular responses. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of in vitro culture (IVC) medium supplemented with LPA on the preimplantation embryonic development of porcine embryos derived from in vitro fertilization (IVF). Embryos derived from IVF were cultured in PZM-3 medium supplemented with 30 μM LPA on Day 1 to Day 7, Day 1 to Day 3 (early stage), or Day 4 to Day 7 (late stage), or without LPA. Moreover, the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of obtaining blastocysts from each group were analyzed. Data were analyzed by ANOVA followed by Duncan using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) mean ± SEM. There was a significantly higher cleavage rate in Day 1 to Day 7 than control (71.25% and 57.46%, respectively) and significantly higher total cell number of blastocysts in Day 1 to Day 3 and Day 4 to Day 7 than control (56.07,56.53 and 45.19, respectively). The results also showed that the mRNA expression level of PCNA, Bcl-2 and Bax in Day 1 to Day 7 group blastocysts were significantly higher than control and the expression level of Bax in Day 1 to Day 3 was also significantly higher than control. Moreover, it also showed that Bcl-2/Bax mRNA ratio in D1-3 group was significantly lower than control but D4-7 and D1-7 groups were comparable to control group. In conclusion, our results suggest that treatment with 30 μM LPA during IVC improves the porcine early embryo cleavage and the blastocyst total cell number after IVF and regulating the mRNA expression of blastocysts during blastocyst formation.
