This study was conducted to develop economic injury level (EIL) and economic threshold (ET) of onion thrips, Thrips tabaci on welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L. var). The changes of welsh onion biomass and T. tabacci density were investigated after introductions of T. tabacci at different densities and days: By the results of the experiment in the early welsh onion cultivation periods (30d after transplanting), the biomass of welsh onion significantly decreased with increasing the initial inoculated density of T. tabacci. The relationship between cumulative insect days (CID) and yield loss (%) of welsh onion was well described by a nonlinear logistic equation. Using the estimated equation, EIL and ET of T. tabacci on welsh onion were estimated at 24 and 20 CID per plant, respectively. By the results of the experiment in the late cultivation periods of welsh onion (about 120d after transplanting), the welsh onion biomass was also significantly different inoculation thrips densities to welsh onion. The EIL and ET were calculated as 35 and 28 thrips per welsh onion plant. Until a more elaborate EIL-model is developed, the present result may be useful for T. tabacci management during the cultivations of welsh onion.

우리나라에 자생하는 하늘나리(Lilium concolor var. parthneion)와 날개하늘나리(L. dauricum)를 소형 분화 로 개발하기 위해 생장억제제의 줄기 신장 억제 및 개화 촉진 효과를 구명하였다. 조직배양으로 얻어 포장에서 1차 비대시킨 후 생체중이 각각 5-7g과 3-4g인 인경을 각각 0, 25, 50과 100mg·L−1의 ancymidol, diniconazole 과 uniconazole 수용액으로 침지, 분무 또는 관주처리 하였다. 하늘나리에 있어서는 uniconazole 침지처리가 초장을 가장 크게 감소시켰는데, 그 농도에 따라 10.2- 18.5cm로 대조구에 비해 60.7-78.3% 억제되었으며, 개화율은 농도에 관계없이 100%였다. 날개하늘나리의 경우, diniconazole 침지처리에서 줄기 신장의 억제 효 과가 가장 커서, 초장은 농도에 따라 3.2-7.0cm로 대조구 에 비해 70.0-86.3%나 억제되었으며, 개화율은 대조구의 0%에서 8.3-18.2%로 향상되었다. 그리고 ancymidol 25-50mg·L−1의 관주처리도 날개하늘나리의 줄기 신장 억제와 개화 촉진에 효과적이었다. 따라서 하늘나리와 날개하늘나리의 인경을 이용한 소형 분화 생산에는 각각 uniconazole 50-100mg·L−1 침지, 그리고 diniconazole 25mg·L−1 침지 또는 ancymidol 25mg·L−1 관주처리가 적합하다고 판단된다. 단, 본 연구에 사용된 날개하늘 나리의 인경은 크기가 너무 작아 분화로서 상품성이 없었기 때문에 좀더 큰 구근을 사용한 연구가 필요하다.

This study was conducted to develop economic injury level (EIL) and economic threshold (ET) of Cabbage armyworm, Mamestra brassicae L. on cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var). The changes of cabbage biomass and M. brassicae density were investigated after introduction of larval M. brassicae (2nd instar) at different densities: 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 larvae per plant at 40 d after planting for an open field experiment, and 0, 2, 5, 8 and 12 larvae per plant at 25 d after planting for a glass house experiment. In the field experiment, the yield loss of cabbage was not significantly different among treated-plots at 30 d after the larval introduction, showing an over-compensatory response of cabbage plants to M. brassicae attack. In the glasshouse experiment, however, the biomass of cabbage at 15 d after the larval introduction significantly decreased with increasing the initial introduced number of M. brassicae, resulting in 38.3, 36.7, 21.7, 23.3 and 16.7g in above treated-plots, respectively. The relationship between cumulative insect days (CID) and yield loss (%) of cabbage was well described by a nonlinear logistic equation. Using the estimated equation, EIL of M. brassicae on cabbage was estimated at 44 CID per plant based on the yield loss 14%, which take into account of an empirical gain threshold 5% and marketable rate 91% of cabbage. Also, ET was calculated at 80% of the EIL: 35 CID per plant. Until a more elaborate EIL-model is developed, the present result may be useful for M. brassicae management at early growth stage of cabbage.

This study was conducted to develop the economic threshold for the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella (L.) on Leaf Broccoli (leaf vegetable) in 2007. To investigate the relationship between initial density of diamondback moth larvae and broccoli leaf yield, experimental plots with five treatments (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 larvae per plant) as initial density were established. We inoculated larvae in chesses cloth covering to survey larvae density change. When grown to eat, leaves of broccoli were harvested by periods. 60-70% of larvae were removed whenever we picked the leaves. High levels of larvae were associated with significant reductions in leaf yield. There were 85%, 64%, 58%, and 56% yield reductions from the diamond back moth larvae density in 0, 0.5, 1,0, 1.5, 2.0 per plant, respectively 25days after larvae inoculation. The regression equation used to predict leaf yield based on the number of initial larvae density per a plant was y=1635-393x(R2=0.79***). The economic injury level of diamondback moth on leaf broccoli was 2-3 larvae per 10 plants for a damage level of 5%. The economic thresholds was 1-2 larvae per 10 plants. Thus, the diamond back moth management should be initiated 1-2 larvae occurrence per plant.

In our present study, total methanol extracts prepared from B. platyphylla var. japonica showed a significant increase in cell proliferation upon the induction of oxidative stress by hydrogen peroxide or y-ray irradiation. Total methanol extracts were fractionated into five separate preparations i.e. n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethylacetate, n-butanol and water fractions. Among these, the ethylacetate and butanol fractions of B. platyphylla var. japonica showed the highest protective effects against oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide. These fractions also showed strong protective effects against y-ray irradiation. When we evaluated the cytotoxicity of these fractions, the butanol fraction showed no effects in a colony formation assay. In addition, the butanol fraction showed a cell proliferation activation effect evidenced by significant increase in the colony formation of y-ray irradiated cells. Both a radical scavenging activity and clonogenic activity assay suggested that the mechanism behind this protective effect against reactive oxygen species may be due to the radical scavenging and cell proliferation activity of B. platyphylla var. japonica extracts.

The present study reports the protective properties of a total methanol extract of B. platyphylla var. japonica against ultraviolet (UV)-C irradiation. Pretreatment of Chinese hamster fibroblast (V79-4) cells with a total methanol extract significantly increased cell survival following 300J/m² of UV-C irradiation. The total methanol extract was further fractionated into 5 fractions: n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethylacetate, n-butanol and water fractions. Among these fractions, B. platyphylla var. japonica ethylacetate, butanol and water fractions showed significant protective effects against the cellular damage induced by UV-C irradiation. In order to elucidate the mechanism underlying this protective effect, DPPH (Editor note: abbreviations should be spelled out at first use.) radical scavenging and lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity were measured. Significant radical scavenging and lipid peroxidation inhibitory activities were observed for the ethylacetate fraction. In summary, the present data demonstrate that an extract of B. platyphylla var. japonica has a significant protective effect against UV-C irradiation. The underlying mechanism of this protective effect may involve radical scavenging and inhibition of lipid peroxidation by the B. platyphylla var. japonica extract.

Fine structures on a plant leaf, such as trichomes or leaf domatia, are considered to affect plant mite community. However, so far, few empirical studies has determined mite fauna and its seasonal dynamics on plants bearing such fine structures on leaf surface. Viburnum erosum var. punctatum is a deciduous shrub, which has dense stellate hairs and hair tufts (domatia) on the abaxial surface of leaf. In this study, to determine the effects of such structures on fauna of leaf mites, we investigated seasonal dynamics of leaf mites on V. erosum in comparison with those on the other 13 tree or shrub species in secondary forests in Kyoto, the central part of Japan. Some mites remained on V. erosum leaves all over the season, with the density of all mite species reaching the maximum, 39.5 individuals per leaf, in June. The density on V. erosum was 10 times higher than on the other target plant species. Phytoseiid mites belonging to Phytoseius stably occurred for most seasons, from May to October, and the density reached the maximum, 2.2 individuals per leaf, in July. Mites of Tydeoidea and Astigmata were frequently observed in the leaf domatia of V. erosum, whereas they were rarely observed on the other plant species. These results indicate that V. erosum harbor more unique and more abundant mite community on its leaf surface, compared to its sympatric tree and shrub species.

This study was carried out to investigate amino acid contents of golden mushroom and pink mushroom. The amino acid analysis was followed by AccQ-Tag method and HPLC on gradient conditions. Seventeen amino acids were analyzed and sixteen amino acids were found in golden mushroom ; fifteen amino acids in pink mushroom respectively. Among total amino acid in golden mushroom, cystein content was the highest and glycine, glutamic acid, proline were followed. Among total amino acid in pink mushroom, cystein was the highest and glycine, lysine, methionine were followed. As shown in Fig.1, 2, concerning amino acids, cystein was dominant. and alanine was detectied in golden mushroom but pink mushroom.

참외를 껍질째 먹기 위하여 착과 5일후부터 과실에 배, 사과, 포도봉지를 씌워 재배한 결과, 봉지내의 온도는 외기온에 비하여 주간에는 낮고 야간에는 높았으며 습도는 주간에는 높고 야간에는 낮았다. 무처리구에 비하여 봉지재배로 과장은 짧고 과폭은 좁고 과육두께는 얇고 과중은 가벼운 경향이었으나 처리간 차이는 없었다. 과육 및 태좌부의 당도는 봉지재배 처리구에서 낮은 경향이었으나 처리간 차이는 없었다. 그러나 과실의 당도는 봉지제거 직후 보다는 봉지제거 5일후 조사에서 높아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 봉지재배로 과피의 경도 및 색도가 낮았다. 이와 같이 봉지재배로 과피의 경도가 낮아 껍질째 먹기는 쉬워졌으나 과피의 색도 및 당도가 낮아 금후 보완이 필요한 것으로 생각된다.
