This study was carried out to control the disease of wood-cultivated ginseng(panax ginseng) using natural materials. Four fungi spices such as Pythium ultimum, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani which caused disease of the wood-cultivated ginseng were investigated. The infection of these fungi causes symptom on roots, stems and leaves. The leaves became dry and die. The disease caused by Pythium ultimum can be prevented by using friendly environmental materials like Chamaecyparis obtuse essential oil and Wormstop. Alternaria alternata and Fusarium oxysporum might be prevented by using wormstop extracted from Neem tree(Azadirachta indica). No substance tested effectively prevents the growth of Rhizoctonia solani.

멸종위기종 황새의 보존와 복원 계획을 진행하는 과정에서 황새의 섭식행동과 서식지 환경을 이해하기 위하여 연구를 시작하였다. 이를 위하여 충북 청원군 미원면 화원리에 있는 산지형 습지 일부에 울타리를 치고 황새 암수의 한 쪽 날개의 첫째날개깃 일부를 잘라 방사하여, 6월 16일부터 7월 11일까지 25일간 일일 그리고 시간에 따른 섭식 행동 변화, 먹이 종류 및 양, 먹이 서식지 선택을 관찰하였다. 황새 암수의 하루 중 시간에 따른 섭식 시간과 휴식 시간

본 연구는 현행 환경영향평가의 식물상 항목에서 내제되어 있는 여러 문제점의 대안으로써 환경평가를 위한 식물군을 제시하였다. 이들은 어느 특정한 지역공간의 자연환경 우수성의 정도와 종보존 우선순위를 파악하고 결정하는 데 이용될 수 있다. 구계분석을 통하여 선택된 식물군은 그들의 분포범위에 따라 5개의 등급으로 구분하였다. 제V등급은 고립하거나 혹은 불연속적으로 분포하는 식물로 41과 76속으로 83분류군이 이에 해당한다. 제 IV등급은 1개의 아구에만 분

본 연구는 무당벌레에 선택적인 살비제 선발과 이들 처리가 사과원 초식성응애류 및 천적류에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 수행되었다. 조사된 모든 살비제는 무당벌레 보다는 점박이응애와 사과응애에 더 강한 독성을 보였고, 또 무당벌레의 유충과 성충보다는 알에 더 높은 독성을 나타냈다. 실내 선택독성실험에서 azocyclotin과 fenpropathrin이 각각 무당벌레에 대해서 선택성이 높은 약제와 낮은 약제로 나타났다. 응애류는 약제 처리횟수에 크게 영향을 받은 반면 천적류는 약제살포횟수 및 약제종류간에 차이가 없었다. 풀잠자리류는 긴털이리응애나 애꽃노린재류와는 달리 약제살포에 비교적 영향이 적었다.

Background : Two major forest medicinal resources, Korean angelica (Angelica gigas Nakai) and Cnidii rhizoma (Cnidium officnale Makino) were used as medicinal herbs for long times and in these day consumed as cosmetic materials. For keep pace with a mass demand and supply, pesticides were should be sprayed for control of pests and plant diseases. However, the social concerns on well-balanced life, pesticides safety, and continuous and stable production of clean non-timber products were increased with the times. Therefore, environmental-friendly cultivation was increased before decade. This study performed for selection of effective control agents to hyphal growth of leaf spot and anthracnose in two medicinal resources. Methods and Results : The antifungal effects of eugneol, pine needle E.O, and 7 natural product extracts (Sophora root, green tea, neem, eucalyptus, grapefruit seed, derris, and 36% rosin) were evaluated against two plant pathogens (Phoma sp., and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides). After re-loading of each 20 ㎕ natural product extracts to the PDA plate which loaded two spore dilution (106 spores/㎖) 100 ㎕, the hyphal growth control effects to pathogens were confirmed. Among 9 control agents, eugenol and pine needle E.O were the most effective, and then Sophora root, green tea, and neem. However, 4 agents (eucalyptus, 36% rosin, grapefruit seed, and derris) were not effective. Conclusion : It confirmed that possibility as a control agents of eugenol and pine needle E.O to leaf spot (Phoma sp.) of Korean angelica and anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) of Cnidii rhizoma, respectively. We will be developed as commercial products safe in the forest lands

Background : Currently, obesity and adult diseases as a result of sugar intake have been a consistent problem in Korea. Natural sweeteners as sugar substitutes have many advantages over sugar as a small quantity. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate possibility of industrialization as food additives by using the nature sweetness components of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni). Method and Results : Stevia was cultivated in a plastic house. The leaves and stems were harvested at October. They were ground into fine powder using a mill, and were extracted by high temperature and pression extraction method. The extracts were evaporated under vacuum and lyophilized. Three strawberry cultivars of ‘Seolhyang’, ‘Maehyang’, and ‘F22-196’ were cultivated in a plastic house and were harvested from March to May. The fruits harvested were stored at 50℃ until processing. In order to test the processing suitability of stevia extract, the characteristics of the three strawberry varieties (line) were investigated. As a result, the ‘F22-196’ line, which was bred as a processing strawberry, generally contained more antioxidant materials and activity than those of ‘Maehyang’ and ‘Seolhyang’ varieties. Comparing the sugar contents which affects the quality of strawberry jam, the average sugar contents of ‘F22-196’ line was higher than 'Maehyang' and 'Seolhyang' varieties. In the preparation of strawberry jam using ‘F22-196’, strawberry jam was prepared by adding only sugar or stevia extract powder, which was 1/100 of the amount of the sugar in only sugar strawberry jam, to the sensory test. As a result, we identified that sugar jam and stevia jam added stevia extract showed 50 : 50 at the sensory test and stevia jam does not make a difference to the marketing jam at the point of view of general consumers. Conclusion : ‘F22-196’ line represented the best quality for strawberry jam in test caltivars. Stevia powder is judged to be used as a sweetener of sugar substitutes in the production of strawberry jam and processing food.

Ratio of functional changes from orthologous genes is being widely used for detecting the signature for natural selection between species. However, one to one orthologous genes allows only for the analysis due to methodological limitation. A number of genes have in-paralogs as a result of gene expansion in crops. Here, we report a new approach for detecting accelerated evolution, which includes in-paralogs as well as one to one orthologs. This new approach can detect many novel accelerated genes among rice in-paralogs, which have not been investigated yet.

Buffer zone selection technique for natural purification of livestock wastewater within a small agricultural watershed was developed using Geographic Information Systems. The technique was applied to 4.12 km2 watershed located in Gosan-myun, Ansung-gun which have 20 livestock farmhouses. As a necessary data for selecting process, feedlot site map, digital Elevation Model (DEM), stream network, soil and land use map were prepared. By using these data, wastewater moving-path tracing program from each feedlot to the stream was developed to get the basic topographic factors; average slope through the paths, distance to the nearest stream and watershed outlet. To identify the vulnerable feedlots for storm event, the grid-based storm runoff model (Kim, 1998; Kim et al., 1998) was adopted. The result helps to narrow down the suitable area of buffer zone, and finally by using subjective but persuasive conditions related to elevation, slope and land use, the suitable buffer zones were selected.
