본 연구는 고온과 연속광 조건 하의 복합 스트레스 환경에서 실내 관엽식물이 어떤 엽록소 형광 반응을 나타내는지에 대해 조사 및 분석했다. 대부분의 실내 관엽식물은 이와 같은 스트레스 조건에서 광도가 높아질수록 Fo, Fj 단계에서 형광 밀도가 증가하고 Fi, Fm 단계에서 형광 밀도가 감소한 것으로 나타나 광계II의 반응중심에 있는 전자수용체 퀴논의 상당량이 환원상태에 놓여있음을 암시했다. 뿐만 아니라 최대 양자효율과 최대 양자수율을 나타내는 Fv/Fm와 ΦPo는 광도가 높아질수록 낮게 나타났고 반대로 에너지 소산을 나타내는 DIo/RC 값은 광도가 높아지는 것에 비례하여 높게 나타났다. 이를 미루어보아 고광도 수준에서는 대부분의 광자가 제대로 활용되지 못했음을 알 수 있었다. 특히나 아이비와 테이블야자 는 고온 및 연속광 조건에서 현저한 스트레스를 받는 것으로 분석되었는데 이와 같은 스트레스 조건의 실내에서 재배할 경우 60 μmol m-2 s-1의 저광도 수준에서 재배하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 보인다. 반대로 무늬스킨답서스와 관음죽은 스트레스를 비교적 적게 받는 것으로 나타나 고온과 연속광 조건하에서도 광도의 세기와는 무관하게 양호한 생육이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Foliage plants are considered as an integral part of adding aesthetic and functional purposes in public places. Nowadays, various foliage plants are used to decorate and enhance the aesthetics of several government and private establishments which offer and run services non-stop that involve medical/police emergencies, entertainment, and travel. Under these conditions, indoor foliage plants are subjected to continuous lighting conditions. Thus, this study aimed to determine the growth and physiological response of common foliage plants (Hoya carnosa f. variegata, Epipremnum aureum f. variegata, Rhapis excelsa, Hedera helix, Chamaedorea elegans, and Spathiphyllum wallisii) under continuous light conditions with varying light intensity levels (60, 120, and 180 μmol m-2 s-1). Plant responses were evaluated using growth parameters and the chlorophyll fluorescence analysis of the OJIP curve and its specific energy flux parameters. Results showed that foliage plants showed positive growth and increase in mass yield in higher light intensities and had a minor impact on color quality. Chlorophyll fluorescence analysis suggested that strong stress responses were evident in low light conditions, whereas in fluorescence parameters, continuous lighting conditions with high light intensities showed stress due to excess light to shade-tolerant plants.

본 연구는 고품질 수박 접수 및 대목의 효율적인 생산을 위한 식물공장형 육묘시스템 내 적정 기온 및 광 환경을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 서로 다른 주야간온도차를 가진 3개의 기온 처리구(25/20, 26/18, 27/16°C)와 5개의 광량 처리구(50, 100, 150, 200, 250μmol·m -2 ·s -1 )를 조합하여 총 15개의 처리구를 설정하여 수박 접수와 대목을 식물공장형 육묘시스템에 서 6일간 육묘하였다. 수박의 접수 및 대목의 묘 소질은 주야간 온도차와 광량의 개별적 영향뿐만 아니라 교호작용도 매우 크게 받았다. 수박 접수 및 대목의 하배축장은 증가되는 광량에 의해 억제되었다. 수박 접수 및 대목의 엽면적은 150μmol·m -2 ·s -1 광 조건까지는 증가하였으나, 이 이상의 광조건에서는 증가 하지 않았다. 수박 접수와 대목의 건물중 및 충실도는 증가하는 광량에 의해 높아졌으나 광이용효율은 감소하였다. 전체적으로 수박의 접수 및 대목 소질은 큰 주야간온도차 처리에서 불량해졌고, 주야간의 급격한 온도변화는 작물에게 스트레스로 작용한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 수박 접수 및 대목의 형태, 생육, 에너지효율 등을 고려하였을 때, 식물공장형 육묘 시스템 내 수박 접수 및 대목 효율적인 생산을 위한 적정 기온 및 광량 조건은 25/20°C 및 150μmol·m -2 ·s -1인 것으로 확인되었다.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the level of the light-environment and the driver's visual ability on the change in the driver's perception of a forward curved section at night. The study also aims to identify factors that should be considered to ensure safety while entering curved sections of a road at night. METHODS : Data collected from a virtual driving experiment, conducted by the Korean Institute of Construction Technology (2017), were used. Logistic regression was applied to analyze the effects of changes in the light-environment factors (road surface luminance and glare) and the driver’s visual ability on a driver's perception of the road. Additionally, analysis of the moderated effect of visual ability on light-environment factors indicated that the difference in drivers’ visual abilities impact the influence of light-environment factors on their perception. A driver's ability to perceive, as a response variable, was categorized into 'failure' and 'success' by comparing the perceived distance and minimum reaction sight distance. Covariates were also defined. Road surface luminance levels were categorized into 'unlit road surface luminance' (luminance ≤ 0.1 nt) and 'lit road surface luminance' (luminance > 0.1 nt), based on 0.1 nt, which is the typical level observed on unlit roads. The glare level was categorized as 'with glare' and 'without glare' based on whether the glare was from a high-beam caused by an oncoming vehicle or not. The driver's visual ability level was categorized into 'low visual ability' (age ≥ 50) and 'high visual ability' (age ≤ 49), considering that after the age of 50, the drive’s visual ability sharply declines. RESULTS : The level of road surface luminance, glare, and driver's visual ability were analyzed to be significant factors that impact the driver's ability to perceive curved road sections at night. A driver's perception was found to reduce when the road surface luminance is very low, owing to the lack of road lighting ('unlit road luminance'), when glare is caused by oncoming vehicles ('with glare'), and if the driver's visual ability level is low owing to an older age ('low visual ability'). The driver's ability to perceive a curved section is most affected by the road surface luminance level. The effect is reduced in the order of glare occurrence and the driver's visual ability level. The visual ability was analyzed as a factor that impacts the intensity of the effect of change of the light-environment on the change of the driver's ability to perceive the road. The ability to perceive a curved section deteriorates significantly in 'low visual ability' drivers, aged 50 and above, compared to drivers with 'high visual ability,' under the age of 49, when the light-environment conditions are adverse with regard to the driver’s perception (road surface luminance: 'lit road surface luminance'→'unlit road surface luminance,' glare: 'without glare'→'with glare'). CONCLUSIONS : Supplementation, in terms of road lighting standards that can lead to improvements in the level of light-environment, should be considered first, rather than the implementation of restrictions on the right of movement, such as restricting the passage of low visual ability or aging drivers who are disadvantageous in terms of gaining good perception of the road at night. When establishing alternatives so that safety on roads at night is improved, it is necessary to consider improving drivers' perception by expanding road lighting installation. The road lighting criteria should be modified such that the glare caused by oncoming traffic, which is an influential factor in the linear change in perception, and the level of light-environment thereof are improved.
