홍수 혹은 융설로 인한 대량의 담수유입은 만에서의 염분농도를 급격히 저하시키며, 그러한 변화는 근해 생물들의 서식환경을 파괴하는 경우도 있다. 그러므로 자연환경의 적절한 활용 및 생물들의 보호를 위해 만에서의 염분분포를 정량적으로 파악하는 연구는 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 1차적으로 위성영상과 탁도와의 상관성을 조사하고, 2차적으로는 탁도와 염분농도와의 상관성을 이용하여 만에서의 염분분포를 구하였다. 본 연구의 주요 성과는 다음과 같다. 첫째 위성영

The solitary ascidian, Halocynthia aurantium, which is commonly called the sea peach because of its coloration and general shape, is a valuable organism of benthic marine population in the northern region of the East Sea, Korea. It is seldom found at a depth of less than 10 meters and the sea peach is frequently observed in large populations between 20 and 100 meters. It appears to prefer attachment to vertical rocks faces and artificial cement blocks exposed to the currents. Mass mortality and reduction of resources in sea peach, H. aurantium, were occurred in the benthic area of the northern region of the East Sea because of the rapid fluctuation of environmental factors such as temperature and salinity due to mass rainfall in summer and going up north of a strong warm current in winter. Therefore, we examined the effects of temperature and salinity on embryonic development of fertilized eggs, tadpole larva to metamorphosis, and attachment to siphon development. Laboratory-raised larvae were studied using a two-factorial experimental design with four levels of temperature(8, 12, 16 and 20℃) and four levels of salinity(20, 25, 30 and 34 psu). The ascidian larvae of H. aurantium survived environmental conditions between temperature of 8～20℃ and salinity of 25～34 psu and exhibited positive growth at 8～16℃ and 30～34 psu. Fertilized eggs have not developed at lower salinity of 20 psu irrespective of temperature range tested and have showed an abnormal development at the salinity of 25 psu between higher temperatures of 20 and 24℃. This result suggests that temperature increase and salinity reduction depending on environmental fluctuation may have significant impacts on population variation of H. aurantium in the northern region of the East Sea.

The adverse effects of salinity and drought on soybean cultivar Hwangkeumkong were also investigated. Endogenous bioactive gibberellins GA1 and GA4, jasmonic acid (JA), abscisic acid (ABA) and salicylic acid (SA) content and pertinent changes in response to basic and double NaCl (70 mM & 140 mM) and PEG (8% & 16%) were examined. We found that plant growth and yield components significantly reduced with the application of NaCl and PEG during pre-flowering and post-flowering growth periods. The endogenous bioactive GA1 and GA4content decreased under elevated salt and drought stress. However, an insignificant increase in GA4level was noted with 8% PEG, applied during post-flowering growth stage. JA levels significantly increased with NaCl and PEG applications, but declined with elevated PEG applied during post-flowering period. SA level drastically reduced with NaCl, while insignificantly reduced with PEG. Endogenous ABA contents of leaves increased with elevated NaCl and PEG application. The endogenous bioactive GA1 and GA4, JA and ABA content of soybean leaves were analyzed through chromatograph/ mass spectrometer (GC/MS) in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode, while SAcontent was quantified with HPLC.

Effects of salinity and standard toxic metals on fertilization and embryo development rates were investigated in the sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus nudus. Spawning was induced by injecting 1㎖ of 0.5 M KCl into the coelomic cavity. The fertilization and embryo development rates were below 20% when salinity was 25 psu or lower, but were above 90% when salinity was between 30 and 35 psu. The fertilization and embryo development rates in the control condition (not including Cu and Cd) were greater than 90%, but decreased with a high negative correlation (r) of 0.89 and 0.91 with the increasing of Cu and Cd concentrations, respectively. These results suggest that salinity concentrations for successful fertilization and normal embryogenesis of S. nudus are between 30 and 35 psu, and the biological assays of fertilization and embryo development rates using S. nudus are useful methods for the ecological toxicity test of marine pollution elements.

In order to investigate the effect of inflow of Yangze river on the distribution of chlorophyll-a, the results of serial oceanographic observation during 2000-2005 were used. The oceanographic conditions in the northern East China Sea is influenced by the Tsushima Warm Current and low saline water derived from the Yangze river. The distributions of these water masses vary significantly by the season in the northern East China Sea. The sea surface temperature and salinity were stable and concentrations of chlorophyll-a were low in the eastern part of 126°E. On the contrary, the salinity was significantly influenced by the low saline water derived from Yangze river with the high concentrations of chlorophyll-a. It is suggested that the low saline water inflowed from the Yangze river affects high concentrations of chlorophyll-a in the northern East China Sea in summer.

We examined the horizontal distribution of salinity and the concentrations of DIN and DIP after heavy rainfall events in coastal areas of South Korea from Yeoja Bay to Narodo and from Gwangyang Bay to Geomodo to determine whether fresh water actually flows into areas of Cochlodinium polykrikoides red tides and to observe its effect on the growth of this organism after heavy rainfall. Following heavy rainfall (155 mm) in the Yeosu and Suncheon regions, the average salinity was 21 and 29 psu at Yeoja Bay and in the coastal waters of Narodo, respectively. After 126 mm of rainfall, the values were 19 and 25 psu in the coastal waters of Yeosu and Geomodo, respectively. This may have been caused by an influx of fresh water, after the rainfall event, into the open sea coastal areas around Narodo and Geomodo from the Dong and Seomjin Rivers, which are about 3540 km away. After the rainfall, the concentrations of NH4-N, NO2-N, and PO4-P were slightly increased; however, the concentration of NO3-N was greatly increased and diffused throughout the coastal areas of Narodo and Geomodo, which frequently experience C. polykrikoides blooms. The influence of NH4-N, NO2-N, and PO4-P on the occurrence of C. polykrikoidesred tides in coastal areas around Narodo and Geomodo after heavy rainfall does not appear to be great. Instead, the occurrence C. polykrikoides red tides in the coastal areas of Narodo and Geomodo seems to be facilitated by NO3-N.

서남부 간척지에서 벼 담수표면산파재배시 토양 염분농도별 적정 파종량을 구명하고자 2003~2004 년에 걸쳐 호남 농업 연구소 계화도출장소 시험포장인 문포통(세사양토)의 저영답(토양 염농도 0.1%)과 중염답(토양 염농도 0.3%)에서 서간벼를 공시하여 파종량별 입모수, 생육, 수량 및 백미 외관 품위 등을 검토한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 입모수는 중염답보다 저염답에서 파종량이 증가할수록 많았다. 2. 간장과 수장은 중염답이 저염답보다 파종량이 증가할 수록 짧았으며, 도복은 토양염농도에 상관없이 파종량이 증가할수록 심했다. 3. 완전미 수량은 저염답에서는 파종량 5 kg/10a까지, 중염답에서는 파종량 7 kg/10a까지는 증가되었으나 그 이상의 파종량에 서는 수량이 증가하지 않았다. 4. 백미의 외관상 품위는 파종량이 증가할수록 저염답보다 중염답에서 완전미율이 낮았다. 5. 따라서 서남부 간척지에서 벼 담수표면산파재배시 입모, 벼 생육, 완전미 수량 및 백미의 외관상 품위 등을 고려할 때 적정 파종량은 저염답은 5~7kg/10a , 중염답은 7~9kg/10a 이 적당할 것으로 생각된다.

Based on the observation on 20, 23 and 26 July 2004, the distributions of temperature, salinity and stratification was investigated in relation to ebb, turn of tide and flood. The results are as follows: 1) The high temperature and low saline water with 23.5～24.0℃ and 32.4～33.0psu existed at Naro Island. 2) The cold surface water below 21.0℃ and 33.0～33.4psu appeared in the area near Gae Island and Geumo Island. 3) The cold and saline water, below 24.0℃ at the surface and 17.0℃ near the bottom, 32.8～33.8psu at the surface and 33.8～34.0psu near the bottom, existed in Sori Island. These waters were more saline compared to the South Sea Coastal Water with about 31.8psu. This suggests that the oceanic saline water intruded into the Bottol Bada through the area near Sori Island. The stratification appeared during all the observation periods due to a high solar radiation of 22MJ/m2, and a weak wind speed of 2.9m/s on the average while the mean speed of wind in July is around 3.9 m/s. It qualitatively suggested that the stratification was maintained during the observation periods because of a high solar radiation, a weak wind speed and intrusion of saline oceanic water.

The production of sweet (su) and super sweet corns (sh2) has been economically feasible in Korea in recent years. Major factors limiting super sweet corn production are low germination and low seedling vigor. Since seed quality is closely related to seed maturity, the optimum harvest time for the seed production of sweet and super sweet corns was studied and the quality of seeds with varying maturities was investigated in 2001 and 2002 cropping seasons. The parents of the sweet corn seeds were Hybrid Early Sunglow and 'Golden Cross Bantam 70' and those of super sweet corn were Xtrasweet 82 and 'For­tune'. Seeds were harvested at 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, and 56 days after silking (DAS). As the seeds developed, seed weight of sweet corn increased and the seed moisture content decreased faster than that of super sweet corn. Germination rates of sweet corn seeds harvested 21 and 28 DAS at 25~circC and emergence rates in the cold soil test were significantly lower than those of seeds harvested after 42 DAS in both years. Although the germination rates of super sweet corn seeds with varying maturities showed similar patterns as sweet corn seeds at 25~circC , the emergence rate of super sweet corn seeds in cold soil test continuously increased with seed maturity. This suggests that seed quality of super sweet corn should be tested in a cold soil test to estimate field emergence. As the seeds developed, leakage of total sugars and electrolytes from the both sweet and super sweet corn seeds decreased up to 42 or 49 DAS. The α-amylase activities of both sweet and super sweet corn seeds increased with seed maturity from 21 to 35 or 49 DAS depending on genotype and year. The optimum harvest time for the seed production of sweet corn was 42 DAS and 49 DAS for super sweet corn considering emergence rate and plumule dry weight in the cold soil test, leakage of sugars and electrolytes from the seeds, and α-amylase activity.

This study was carried out to investigate seed germination and seedling of cabbage and sugar beet in four treatments of salinity including 0 (control), 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5％ NaCl. The results showed that different treatments of salinity had considerable effects on the germination and root and shoot length of cabbage and sugar beet. Percent of germination in both species showed significant decrease with increasing salinity up to 1.5％ NaCl. This decrease was more evident in cabbage when compared to sugar beet. The required time for germination increased with high levels of salinity. The seedling growth of both species were inhibited by all salinity levels. Particularly at 1.0 and 1.5％ NaCl, no measurable length was observed in cabbage and sugar beet. At 0.5％ NaCl root growth of both plant species was more affected as compared to shoot growth by salinity.

This study was conducted to obtain basic information of growth, chlorophyll, and Na+~;and~;K+ content of rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings after transplanting in different NaCl conditions. Plants grown in pots for 8 days after germination were grown for 10 days after transplanting in 50 and 100 mM NaCl concentrations. At higher NaCl concentration, plant height, root length, dry weight and chlorophyll content were reduced with NaCl stress. Among rice cultivars, the shoot dry weight of Gancheokbyeo, Janganbyeo and Hwasungbyeo, and the root dry weight of Janganbyeo, Gancheokbyeo and Juanbyeo showed relatively low reduction compared to the other rice cultivars at 100 mM NaCl stress. The Na+ content in seedling rapidly increased with the increase of NaCl concentration but K+ contents decreased. There was a significant relationship between Na+ content and shoot and root dry weight after transplanting rice seedlings to saline conditions. The shoot and root dry weight showed highly negative relationship with the Na+/K+ ratio in saline conditions.

본 연구는 남서해안 간척지에서 토양 염농도(저염; 0.1%, 중염; 0.3∼0.4%)별로 쌀 품질 향상을 위한 적정 질소 시비량을 구명하기 위하여 시험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1.유추분화기의 초장은 질소 시비량이 많을수록 컸고, 토양염농도간에는 저염 토양에서 켰다. 2. 출수기는 저염 토양에서는 표준비인 N20kg/10a에 비해 N8-N16kg/10a까지는 같았으나 N24kg/10a에서는 1일 늦었고, 중염 토양에서는 N8-N16kg/10a 까지는 1일이 삘랐고 N24kg/10a에서는 같았으며, 토양 염농도간에는 저염 토양에서보다 중염 토양에서 4일 정도 늦었다. 3. 질소시비량이 많을수록 간장이 크고, 포장도복이 심했다. 4. 저염 토양에서 질소시비량이 많을수록 m2 당 립수는 많았으나 등숙비율이 낮아져 발 수량은 N12kg/10a이상에서는 유의차가 없었으며, N12kg/10a이하에서 현미의 완전미율이 높고 단백질 함량이 낮았다. 5.중염 토양에서는 질소시비량이 많을수록 m2 당 립수가 많고 등숙비율이 비슷하여 발 수량은 질소시비량이 많을수록 높았으나 N20kg/10a 이상에서는 유의차가 없었고, 현미의 완전미율과 단백질함량은 질소시비량간에 비슷하였다. 따라서 남서해안 간척지에서 쌀 수량 및 미질 등을 고려해 볼 때, 저염 토양에서는 N12kg/10a, 중염 토양에서는 N20kg/10a이 적당할 것으로 생각된다

간척지 논에서 쌀 생산을 위한 기초 자료를 얻고자 2000년 전남 광양만 간척지에서 토양염분농도별 수량과 토양의 이화학적 조성간의 관계를 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 출수기는 0.1%의 염분농도 토양은 8월 15일, 0.4%의 염분농도 토양은 8월 20일, 0.8%의 염분농도 토양은 8월 25일로서 0.1%의 염분농도 토양이 가장 빨랐다. 2. 쌀수량은 토양의 염분농도가 0.1%로 낮은 토양이 599kg/10a로 가장 많았고, 다음으로는 0.4%의 염분농도 토양이 568kg/10a이었고 0.8%의 염분농도 토양은 446kg/10a로 가장 낮았으며 쌀수량 구성 요소 역시 같은 경향으로 0.1%의 염분농도 토양에서 가장 우수하였고 다음으로는 0.4%, 0.8%순으로 나타났었다. 3. 쌀수량과 토양의 이화학적 특성간의 상관에서는 pH와는 부의상관, 유기물, 인산, 질소, 가리, 칼슘, 마그네슘의 함량간에는 정의 상관이었다. 4. 전남광양만 간척지에서 쌀수량과 수량구성 요소면에서 볼 때에 적합한 토양의 염분농도는 0.1%이라고 사료된다.
