To investigate factors determining peach fruit quality, chlorophyll content by leaf positions, chlorophyll content of foliated leaf, change of leaf area, and photosynthetic capacity were monitored. Photosynthetic rate in response to radiation intensity and $CO_2$ concentration, and change of sucrose content after shading treatment also were investigated. Chlorophyll content was similar in $5-12^{th}$ leaves after 10 days of foliation, while young $13-16^{th}$ leaves showed lower chlorophyll contents. Chlorophyll content was 2.56 ${\mu}g/cm^2$ on May $28^{th}$, just after foliation, and rapidly increased up to 6.35 ${\mu}g/cm^2$ on June $12^{th}$. After this point, chlorophyll content gradually increased during two months showing the highest value of 9.03 ${\mu}g/cm^2$ on August $14^{th}$. Leaf area was 27.1 $cm^2$ just after foliation and 37.7 $cm^2$ on $10^{th}$ day of foliation increasing 10.6 $cm^2$ during 10 days. Leaf area slowly increased by 3.9 $cm^2$ during next one month. Photosynthetic capacity increased rapidly until the $30^{th}$ day of foliation showing the highest capacity of 13.8 ${\mu}mol/m^{-2}/sec^{-1}$. After this point, photosynthetic capacity decreased sharply. Photosynthetic rate in response to radiation intensity increased rapidly until the PPFD reached to 600 ${\mu}mol/m^{-2}/sec^{-1}$ and increased gradually from 600 ${\mu}mol/m^{-2}/sec^{-1}$ to 1200 ${\mu}mol/m^{-2}/sec^{-1}$ of PPFD and stayed stable beyond this point. Photosynthetic rate in response to $CO_2$ concentration increased until 600 ppm of $CO_2$. At higher $CO_2$ concentration, photosynthetic rate stayed stable or decreased. Sucrose content in leaves was not significantly different between control and shading group until one hour of shading treatment while decreased in shading group after two hours of treatment.

Physiological and morphological characteristics of Anabaena azollae cells immobilized in a synthetic polymer, polyvinyl(PV), were investigated. The cell density of the non-immersed PV foam reached 4.4mg Chl/g dry wt. PV foam. This is 8 times higher than that of PV-immobiliz action in immersed batch system. And MSX-induced ammonia productivity and the photosynthectic oxygen evolution activity are higher than that of free cells after short-term dark storage. Nitrogenase activity and thermostability of photosynthetic activity are also higher than that of free Anabaena cells after immobilization. Total hydrogen production reached to 1.6ml $H_2$ per reactor (total 4mg Chl) after 6 days.

The sigmoiod kinetics of mass-action in a biosystem have been studied by theoretical bases on the carrier hypothesis of influx and efflux of substrates. The sigmoid kinetic equations of assimilation and dissimilation rates indicate that each trophicfactor and each bio-factor behave according to the sigmoid kinetic equation and the bell shape case, and all of them are multiplicative. The general sigmoid kinetics of mass-action is given by the equation (30) which is determined by the total of the equation (28) of the assimilation rate and the equation (29) of the dissimilation rate. The sigmoid kinetic model of photosynthesis has been derived from the general equation of the sigmoid kinetics of mass-action.

Chlorella ellipsoidea cells were cultured in a phosphate, magnesium, sulfur or potassium-free medium. Some portions of cells were taken out at intervals during the culture, and physiological activities such as growth rate, reproduction, photosynthetic activity, and biosynthesis of cholorophyll of macro-element deficient cells were measured. 1) Generally, growth rate, reproduction, photosynthetic activities, and biosynthesis of chlorophyll of the macro-element deficient cells decreased more or less, compared with those of the normal cells. 2) The growth and reproduction of the algal cells in sulfur, or magnesium free medium were retarted severely with the chlorosis ; the photosynthetic activity and the content of chlorophyll showed the same tendency. 3) It is considered that the decrease in growth rate of macro-element deficient Chlorella cells is due to the decrease in photosynthetic activity owing to the decrease in chlorophyll content of the cells.

To seek for proper regeneration methods with under-planting, Photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll contents of three broad-leaved species seedlings, Kalopanax pictum, Fraxinus rhynchophylla and Cornus controversa, were measured and compared between growing sites, below the canopy of Larix kaemferi and open land in the forest. Nursery stocks was planted in open nurs- ery in the forest in late April, 1997, and under-planting below the canopy of Larix kaemferi was conducted in late April, 1998. This experiment examined the relationships between shade-tolerance and physiological response to different light environment by tree species. To adapt the shade environment, leaves of Kalopanax pictum might be increased the more chlorophyll con- tents and photosynthetic ability than other species. From these results, shade-tolerance of the tree might be ordered Kalopanax pictum, Fraxinus rhynchophylla, and Cornus controversa.

Half-sib seedlings of Ginkgo biloba (one-year-old) were treated with various simulated acid rains(pH2.0, pH3.0, pH4.0 and pH5.0) to examine the effects of acid rain on leaf surface area, leaf injury, leaf chlorophyll content and photosynthetic ability of the leaf tissue. The seedlings were grown in a pot($4500cm^3$) containing one of three different soils(nurseryy soil, mixed soil and sandy soil). Simulated acid rain was made by diluting sulfuric and nitric acid solution($H_2SO_4:HNO_3=3:1$, V/V) with tap water and tap water(pH6.4), and treated by 5mm each time for three minutes during the growing seasons(April to October 1985). Acid rain treatments were done three times per week to potted seedlings by spraying the solutions. The results obtained in this study were as follows : 1. Leaf surface area per seedling at pH2.0 level was the lowest among the levels of pH, but those at other pH levels were not significantly different. 2. Leaf injury(injured leaf rate and injured leaf area) increased with decreasing pH levels of acid rain. 3. Leaf chlorophyll content measured during the period June through October was significantly different among the soil types, and that of the seedling in nursery soil was the highest. The lower pH levels of simulated acid rain was treated ; more leaf chlorophyll content was measured at the beginning of treatment, and the more it severely decreased at the late growing period. 4. Photosyntetic abilities, and the highest value was shown in nursery soil. Significand difference in photosynthetic ability among the levels of pH was observed only in August. Photosynthetic ability increased with decreasing pH levels at the beginning of treatment, but decreased rapidly after July.

Photosynthetic rates and leaf bleaching were measured under light of far-red, red, orange, green, blue and white in order to clarify the effect of light qualities on photosynthesis in Panax species, P. ginseng and P. quinquefolium. Photosynthetic rate of P. ginseng and P. quinquifolium showed higher in the order under the light of red > orange > blue > white > green. Degree of leaf bleaching in P. quinquifolium showed severer in the order under the light of far-red > red > white > blue > orange > green. These suggest that shading material with blue or orange color is good for ginseng growth. As for the effect of temperature, the photosynthesis was increased with increasing temperature untill $25^{\circ}C$ and thereafter decreased. Therefore, it was clarified that the optimum temperature for photosynthesis of P. ginseng and P. quinquefolium was $25^{\circ}C$. And the dark respiration rate of ginseng leaf also increased with increasing air temperature. Especially, the dark respiration rate increased by $80\%$ for P. ginseng and by $73\%$ for P.quinquefolium at above $30^{\circ}C$ as compared with $25^{\circ}C$. In general, the photosynthesis rate was higher in P. quinquifolium than in P. ginseng and ranged from 3.54 to 4.04 mg $(CO_2{\cdot}dm^{-2}{\cdot}hr^{-1})$ for P. quinquefolium and from 2.08 to 2.59 mg$(CO_2{\cdot}dm^{-2}{\cdot}hr^{-1})$ for P. ginseng.

This study was carried out to know the influence of turbidity of submerged water on photosynthetic rate of rice plant after water submerging treatment. Rice plants were transplanted in the pot at maximum tillering stage and they were sumberged for 3days at meiotic stage, 20days after transplanting, in the plastic container which had the clear and turbid water temperature adjusted around 24 to $25^{\circ}C$. Photosynthetic rate at 6 hours recovery after submergence was 41.5 to 54.2% compared to the control, but in the case of cultivar 'Nagdongbyeo', it was rapidly increased by 97.3 to 104.6% in the clear water and by 68.6 to 77.5% in the turbid water at 2 to 4 days recovery after submergence. Photosynthetic rates per plants at 6 hours to 4 days recovery after submergence were 128.3 to 245.5 $C_2$ mg.hr.$^{-1}$, in 'Samgamgbyeo' and 71.1 to 162.4 $CO_2$, mgㆍhr.$^{-1}$ in 'Nagdongbyeo' Photosynthetic rate to respiration ratio of rice plant recovery after submergence was lower compared to control plant and it was lower in 'Nagdongbyeo' than that in 'Samgangbyeo'.ngbyeo' than that in 'Samgangbyeo'.gangbyeo'.pos;.
