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.

This study investigated the interactions between starch and starch - derived materials and fluorescent materials. Many researchers have used fluorescent materials to monitor the internal structure of starch, which is an effective method. The purpose of this study was to observe the internal structure of starch by using fluorescent material and to check how much fluorescent material could be loaded inside the starch. For this, a standard curve of the fluorescent material was obtained and a linear graph corresponding to the concentration was obtained. Next, the incorporation of the fluorescent material into the starch was confirmed by CLSM in the infusion experiment. Infusion experiments were carried out to quantify the amount of fluorescent substance in starch, but the error was confirmed in this experiment. The error was caused by the action of starch and the fluorescent substances FD4 and NaFl, resulting in an increase or decrease in fluorescence intensity. To find the cause, dextrin, amylose and amylopectin, which are starch-derived substances, and α, β, γ-cyclodextrin, which can form inclusion compounds, were used. The fluorescent materials were merbromin, NaFl, and FITC. As a result, the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescent material was significantly influenced by the concentration of amylose and amylopectin. This result implies that there may be errors in the analysis of the phenomenon or observation of the starch using the fluorescent substance. We still do not know exactly the cause of this phenomenon, so further research is needed.
