Intense pulsed light(IPL) has been highlighted as an innovative nonthermal sterilization technology that can kill spoilage or pathogenic microorganisms by using short-duration pulses of intense broad-spectrum electromagnetic radiation. This paper examines the inactivation effects of IPL on Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa inoculated on seafood products such as salmon, flatfish, and shrimps and evaluates the possibility of extending the shelf-life of seafood products. The results indicate that the inactivation of microorganisms increased with an increase in IPL energy density(J/㎠) and a decrease in the distance between the sample surface and the lamp. In addition, temperature increases on the fish fillets during the treatments were well controlled within the range of 5.7～9.8℃. The IPL treatment had a significant positive effect on the storage stability of seafood products at the storage temperature of 4℃ for 12 days. These results suggest that the storage period for fish fillets can be extended from 4 days to 6～8 days through the IPL treatment.

Ebb and flow 시스템을 사용한 분화 칼랑코에 재배에서 광도와 양액 농도가 생육, 양분 흡수율 및 배지 내 무기 이온의 집적에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 목적을 달성하기 위하여 광도 3수준(PPF 4.26, 5.51, 9.75mol·m-2·d-1)과 양액 농도 3수준(EC 1.2, 1.8, 2.4dS·m-1)을 조합하여 요인실험으로 수행하였다. 분화 재배한 칼랑코에의 생육은 광도와 양액 농도에 뚜렷하게 영향을 받았으며, 광도가 높아질수록 생육이 양호하였다. 각 광도 내에서는 양액의 EC를 1.8~2.4dS·m-1의 범위로 조절할 경우 칼랑코에 지상부 생육이 비교적 양호하였지만, EC를 2.4dS·m-1로 조절한 처리의 생체중, 건물중 및 엽면적이 가장 크게 나타났다. 광도와 양액 농도는 ebb and flow 시스템의 양액 탱크로부터 양분 및 수분 흡수량과 배지 내 무기 이온의 집적에 유의하게 영향을 미쳤지만, 식물체의 무기물 함량에는 뚜렷한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 광도는 양액의 EC에 비해 이온의 흡수율에 미치는 영향이 상대적으로 적었으며, 양액 EC가 높을 수록 NO3-, P, K, Mg 이온의 흡수율은 높았다. 이상의 연구결과를 고려할 때 ebb and flow 저면 관수 시스템에서 배지 내 무기 이온 집적에 영향을 주는 주 요인은 양액 농도임을 확인하였으며, 광도와 양액의 EC를 이용하여 배지 내 무기 이온의 집적량을 예측하기 위한 회귀식을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 저온처리기간, 온도 및 광의 유무가 초롱꽃 4 종의 생장과 개화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 모주로 사용된 고성종인 자주초롱꽃, 왜성종인 애기초롱꽃 2 품종과 이들의 교잡 육성된 ‘직녀’, ‘견우’ F1 2 품종의 조직배양묘를 식물재료로 사용하였다. 조직배양묘는 광 도가 약 75 μmol·m2·s−1이고 온도가 25oC인 기내에서 5주 동안 발근시켰다. 광의 유무는 알루미늄 호일로 포장한 암처리와 명처리(약 10 μmol·m2·s−1 PPFD)를 사 용하였고, 저온처리기간은 3, 6, 또는 9주로 하여 4와 25oC 온도에서 저장하였다. 저온처리 후 식물을 10 cm 화분에 상토를 채워 이식하여 생장조절챔버에서 순화시 켜 온실로 옮겨 재배하였다. 4종 중 자주초롱꽃에서 생존 율이 가장 높았다. 생존율은 암처리보다 명처리에서 더 높았다. 기내에서 6주 이상 저장된 처리구는 생존율이 감소하였다. 4종을 실험한 결과 개화를 한 품종은 ‘직 녀’로 저장기간 3주, 명처리, 25oC에서 62.8%의 높은 개화율을 보였다. 개화는 온도, 저장기간, 그리고 광의 유무에 따라 영향이 있었다. 저장기간 3주, 암조건, 4oC 에서 저장한 처리에서 현저하게 개화소요일수가 단축되 고 개화특성도 좋았다. 이 결과는 개화를 위해 저온을 요구하는 것은 질적인 것보다 양적임을 암시한다. 이 실험은 조직배양묘를 사용하여 저온처리를 하고 순화 하는 과정에서 많이 고사하였으므로, 식물의 개체수를 더 늘려서 이 결론을 확인할 필요가 있다.

저온, 광도 및 IBA 처리가 카네이션 삽수의 발근에 미치는 효과를 구명하기 위해 본 실험을 수행하였다. 삽수의 4oC 저장과 생장조절제 IBA를 조합한 처리효 과는 IBA 처리농도가 높을수록 근원기가 증가하였고, 4oC에서 6주와 IBA 400mg·L-1의 동시 처리구에서 초장, 뿌리수, 뿌리 생체중, 줄기 생체중 등이 월등히 좋았다. 저온과 생장조절제 동시 처리에서는 저온 2주 이상이면 발근수와 건물중에 효과가 나타나기 시작하 였고 저온처리 기간이 길수록 발근수와 건물중은 증가 하였다. IBA 400mg·L-1 처리 및 저온 저장기간별 카네이션 삽수의 삽목 후 시기별 뿌리수는 삽목 후 3 주 후면 충분히 확보되는 것으로 나타났다. 삽목상 온 도는 20oC 처리구에서 발근율이 89.7%로 가장 높았 고, 발근소요일수가 27.3일로 가장 짧았으며, 뿌리 길 이도 22.8mm로 가장 길었다. 광도는 높을수록 발근에 효과적이었으며 200μmol·m-2 · s-1 처리구에서 발근소요 일수 27.6일, 뿌리길이 24.3mm로 뿌리의 생육이 가장 양호하였다.

일몰 후 적색 및 원적색 광처리가 토마토 묘 소질에 미치는 효과를 조사하기 위해 24일간의 광처리 기간동안 12일 간격으로 묘의 초장, 제1절간장, 줄기직경을 측정하였고, 실험 마지막 날에는 묘의 뿌리와 줄기를 분리 건조하여 각 건물중을 측정하였다. 적색광 처리는 식물의 초장을 억제시키는 것으로 나타났고, 원적색광 식물의 초장신장을 촉진하는 결과를 보였다. 적색 및 원적색광 처리가 식물의 초장에 미치는 효과는 광처리 시간이 10분 또는 20분이든 큰 차이가 없었다. 또한, 적색광 처리된 식물의 줄기직경이 대조구 및 원적색광 처리된 식물의 줄기 직경보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. 적색광 처리는 원적색광 처리 및 대조구에 비해 줄기·뿌리의 건물중비가 작았다. 토마토 묘의 충실도에 미치는 광처리 효과는 적색광 처리가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났고, 원적색광 처리된 묘의 충실도가 가장 낮았으며 광처리 없는 대조구는 그 중간정도의 충실도를 나타내었다.

Background : This study was performed to investigate by antioxidant activity, total phenolic contents, total flavonoid contents, and effective component of Astragalus membranaceus treated with different artificial light Sources (fluorescent lamp, red, blue, green, white, LEP). Methods and Results : We investigated the effects of various artificial light sources on the DPPH radical activity, total phenol and flavonoid contents, tyrosinase activity and main flavonoid compounds contents (formononetin and calycosin) and other biological activities in A. membranaceus. Antioxidant activities were 53.6% as the highest level of activity under LEP light. Growth under LEP light also produced the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents of 36.05 and 5.94 mg/ml, respectively. Extracts from plants grown under LEP light caused the highest inhibition of tyrosinase activity with inhibition of 35.37, 61.87, and 65.49%, respectively, for extract concentrations of 100 μg/ml, 500 μg/ml, and 1000 μg/ml compared with other artificial light treatments. Conclusion : Little information is available on the influence of LED and LEP light sources on antioxidant production or other biological activities in A. membranaceus. Our goal in this study was to determine the effects of LED and LEP artificial light sources on the production of new functional compounds in A. membranaceus.

This study was carried out to determine the effects of light controls and leaf mold on root growth and physiological responses of Atractylodes japonica growing in forest farming. The experiment was performed by light controls (100%, 62.5%, 40.3% and 19.7% of full sunlight) and application of leaf mold to soil. Height, stem diameter, number of flower buds and root collar diameter were the highest in leaf mold within 62.5% of full sunlight (relative light intensity 62.5%). And these were the higher in leaf mold within each light level. As the shading level increased, light saturation point and maximum photosynthesis rate decreased. As the light level decreased, SPAD value increased in control and leaf mold. As a result of surveying the whole experiment, A. japonica was judged worse root growth under the lower light level. It was concluded that the light level was one of the most important factors to produce A. japonica. Also, producing high-quality of A. japonica with the price competitiveness by using leaf mold like the experiment can be an effective way to increase incomes for farmers.

Investigation of flowing time, flower structure, microspore density, microspore vitality and microspore-derived embryo (MDE) formation rate according to the light quality treatment on broccoli donor plant was accomplished. The material was 08-8-3 line yielding high MDE production rate having 4.0 ± 0.5 mm flower bud length. The donor plant was cultivated with light quality treatment of red LED light, red+blue+white LED light and fluorescent light. The light intensity was 50 μ molm-2s-1 and photoperiod was 16/8 hours (light/dark). The flowering time was fastest at red LED light treatment compared to the other light treatment condition. 100.0, 36.4 and 18.2% of flower bud with longer stigma length than floral leaf which reported high MDE production rate were found under red LED light, Red+Blue+White LED light and fluorescent lights respectively. The microspore density and MDE production rate per single flower bud was highest at Red LED light. Suitable flower bud and high MDE production rate could be achieved in a short period if using LED light to broccoli donor plant cultivation. The above result is thought to be very useful for the development of a new cultivar of broccoli and other many crops including Brassica using haploid breeding technology.

The objective of this study was carried out to elucidate the effect of LEDs (light emitting diodes) irradiation in relation to early growth and inorganic elements in leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. ‘Chung Chi Ma’). In morphological changes of leaves, shoot elongation and hypocotyl length showed poor growth in red light irradiation, while the red+blue light irradiation induced shorter plant height and much greater leaf numbers resulting in increased fresh weight. In change of the Hunter's color and SPAD values, lettuce seedlings grown under in red+blue and fluorescent light irradiation had a higher a* value, otherwise SPAD values were not changed in these light irradiations. Interestingly, relative chlorophyll contents showed 1.8 times increased redness in the treatment of red+blue light irradiation. Inorganic element (N, Ca, Mg, Mn, and Fe) and ascorbic acid contents were increased in lettuce plants grown under LEDs light irradiation compared to those of lettuce grown under the fluorescent light which showed higher P and Mn contents. In conclusion, it is considered that red+blue light irradiation which stimulates growth and higher nutrient uptake in leaf lettuce could be employed in containers equipped with LEDs.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of light spectrum using red (660 nm), blue (460 nm), red and blue mixed (Red : Blue = 6 : 4) LED (light-emitting diode), and fluorescent lamp on antioxidant activities and functional components of dandelion (Taraxacum officinale). Total polyphenol contents in dandelion irradiated with the red and blue mixed or the red LED were 121.77 mg/100 g or 115.36 mg/100 g, respectively, which were greater than those in dandelion treated with blue LED and fluorescent lamp. Asparagine showed the highest content among amino acids in leaves and roots regardless of treatments. Total amino acid was the highest when illuminated with the red LED. DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical-scavenging activity and SOD (super oxide dismutase) activity of ethanol extracts were increased under all of the LED treatments compared with fluorescent lamp, and the antioxidant activities were increased by the red and the mixed LED illumination. The results indicate that application of the red and the mixed LED illumination promote antioxidant activity and increase functional components during cultivation of dandelion.

White light and compound light were found to be the ideal light sources for improving the functionality and ornamental value of indoor plants and reducing the cost of maintenance, but because compound light hinders people from recognizing the original color of plants and makes their eyes easily tired, white light was considered the optimal light satisfying all of the ornamental value, economic efficiency and functionality resulting from plant growth. On the other hand, in the results of examining physiological changes before and after treatment on fine dust PM10 and carbon dioxide removal capacity in a closed chamber under an artificial light source, the patterns of carbon dioxide and fine dust removal were similar among the treatment groups according to light condition, but according to plant type, the removal rate per unit leaf area was highest in Spathiphyllum and lowest in Dieffenbachia. In the experiment on dust and carbon dioxide removal, the photosynthetic rate was over 2 times higher after the treatment, and the rate increased particularly markedly under compound light and white light, suggesting that the photosynthetic rate of plants increases differently according to light quality. These results show that light quality has a significant effect on the photosynthetic rate of plants, and suggests that plants with a high photosynthetic rate also have a high carbon dioxide and dust removal capacity. In conclusion, the photosynthetic rate of foliage plants increased under white and blue light that affect photosynthesis and the increased photosynthetic rate reduced carbon dioxide and fine dust, and therefore white and compound light were found to be the optimal light sources most functional and economically efficient in improving ornamental value and indoor air quality.

절화의 관상기간 중 꽃잎의 탈색 완화에 적합한 조건을 알아보기 위하여 리시안서스, 용담, 국화, 공작초를 대상으로 광도(500, 5,000, 10,000lux)와 자당 처리를 실시하였다. 광도의 차이와 자당의 유무의 차이를 비교해 볼 때 리시안서스와 용담은 각각 자당이 처리된 5,000lux에서 10.9일 10,000lux 역시 10.9일로 관상기관이 길게 나왔다. 반면 국화는 500lux에서 10.5일로 관상기관이 길게 나왔다. 공작초는 광도와 상관없이 대조구에서 10.2일로 관상기간이 길었다. 꽃잎의 탈색완화 효과는 가장 높은 광도 하의 꽃잎 색이 진하게 나왔고, 대조구 보다는 자당이 첨가된 처리구에서 진하게 나오는것을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로부터 고광도의 조건과 자당의 첨가는 안토시아닌의 합성을 증가시키기 때문에, 꽃잎탈색을 지연시키는 것으로 나타났다.

Currently, the application of TiO2 photocatalyst has been focused on purification and treatment of wastewater. However, the use of conventional TiO2 slurry photocatalyst results in disadvantage of stirring during the reaction and of separation after the reaction. And the usage of artificial UV lamp has made the cost of photocatalyst treatment system high. Consequently, we studied that solar light/TiO2 film system was designed and developed in order to examine disinfection characteristics of sewage wastewater treatment. The optimum conditions for disinfection such as solar light intensity, characteristic of sewage wastewater, amounts of TiO2 and comparison of solar ligth/TiO2 systems with UV light/TiO2 system was examined. The results are as follows: (1) photocatalytic disinfection process with solar light in the presence of TiO2 film more effectively killed total coliform (TC) than solar light or TiO2 film absorption only. (2) The survival ratio of TC and residual ratio of organic material (BOD, CODcr) decreased with remain resistant material. (3) The survival ratio of TC and residual ratio of organic material (BOD, CODcr) decreased with the increase of amounts of TiO2. (4) TC survival ratio decreased linearly with increasing UV light intensity. (5) The disinfection effect of solar light/TiO2 slurry system decreased more than UV light/TiO2 film systems. (6) The disinfection reaction followed first-order kinetics. We suggest that solar light instead of using artificial UV light was conducted to investigate the applicability of alternative energy source in the disinfection of TC and the degradation of organic material.

The lateral root formation in soybean sprout culture declines its quality. This study was done to measure the effect of fluorescent light treatment during 24 hour imbibition and 6-day culture on seed germination and growth of soybean sprout. After 6 day culture, the sprouts were sorted as normal (＞4cm), abnormal (＜4cm) and non-germination by their hypocotyl lengths, and lateral roots, fresh and dry weights were measured. Lateral roots were less formed in the fluorescent light treatment lasted during the whole period of the imbibition than in the treatment for 50 minutes a day during the culture. The fluorescent light treatment during the imbibition mainly affected the germination and growth compared to the treatment done during the culture. Compared to the dark imbibition, the light treatment during the imbibition resulted in more normal sprouts, thicker diameters of hypocotyl and hook, and more fresh weights in cotyledon, hypocotyl, whole sprout, and economic yield. However, these results were reverse in lengths of hypocotyl and root, and fresh and dry weights of roots. It is concluded that the fluorescent lamp mainly irradiating red and blue lights can be used for the sprout production as an alternative light replacing blue and red lights treated during the imbibition because it blocked the lateral root appearance and stimulated growth of the sprout.

본 연구는 부들의 대량번식법 개발을 목적으로 종자번식에 미치는 몇 가지 요인을 구명하기 위하여 실시하였다. 부들은 종자 발아적온은 25~30℃이며, 명발아성이었다. 종자에 GA3,침지처리는 모든 농도 처리구 에서 발아율이 향상되는 경향을 보였다. 특히 500mg.L-1 처리구에서 90.7%의 발아율을 보여 대조구에 비해 약 1.2배정도 발아가 촉진되었다. BA 침지처리에 의해서는 대조구에 비하여 발아율이 현저히 낮아졌으며,500mg.L-1 처리구에서는 발아가 전혀 관찰되지 않았다. KNO3및 Ca(NO3)2처리의 경우에는 Ca(NO3)2 100mM 처리구를 제외한 모든 처리구에서 대조구에 비하여 발아율이 감소하였다.

Presowing treatements to seed are reasonable for elevating the seedling production efficiency. This experiment was carried out to determine the effects of GA3 [0 (water) : 0.01 mM] and light qulaity (red : white) simultaneously treated before sowing on seedling emergence and growth of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) cv NC 82 and Burley 21. Red or white light was illuminated 12 hours a day while seeds of the cultivars were imbibed with either water or GA3 0.01 mM for 3 days. Seedling emergence was measured up to 20 days after sowing but morphological characters and dry weights were done 40 days. The seedling emergence rate of cv NC 82 was more affected by light quality and GA3 pretreatments than that of cv Burley 21. Light quality more influenced the rate than GA3 while red light or water imbibition enhanced the rates of the two cultivars compared to the other treatement. Although mean plant height and leaf number per seedling were nearly equal between the treatements, red light declined leaf area per seedling of cv Burley 21 of which seeds were imbibed in water but white light decreased the areas of both cultiars of which seeds were soaked in GA3solution. Shoot dry weight was greater in cv NC 82 but less in cv Burley 21 pretreated with red light, and root dry weight showed the reverse result in white light, meaning that presowing light and GA3 treatments could be changed the seedling development and growth of tobacco.
