본 연구는 제주지역의 골프 코스에서 하절기 고온기간에 온도의 상승을 비롯한 다양한 환경변화로 인하여 생육 장애가 심한 한지형 잔디인 perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.) 3종에 대하여 엽록소형광과 엽록소지수를 측정하여 골프 코스와 스포츠 필드에서 잔디 선정과 관리를 위한 기본적인 정보를 얻기 위하여 수행하였다. F_o 값은 3종 모두 하절기 초기에는 낮고 후기에 다소 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 그러나, perennial ryegrass의 경우는 하절기 초기와 후기 간의 F_o 값의 변화가 컸으며, 특히, 후기에 F_o 값은 다른 2종 월등하게 보다 높았다. F_m 값은 3종 모두 하절기 초기에는 낮고 하절기 후기에 증가하였으나 3종 간의 차이는 크지 않았다. 광계 II의 광화학적 효율의 척도인 F_v/F_m 값은 3종 모두에서 하절기 초기에 낮고, 후기에 다소 증가하는 양상을 보였으나, 하절기 후기에 Kentucky bluegrass와 creeping bentgrass는 perennial ryegrass에 비해 F_v/F_m 값이 다소 높아 하절기 고온에서도 보다 더 잘 적응하는 것으로 보인다. 엽록소지수는 perennial ryegrass와 Kentucky bluegrass에서는 뚜렷하게 하절기 초기에는 낮고 후기에 높은 양상을 보였으나, creeping bentgrass는 조사기간 내내 낮은 상태를 유지하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 Kentucky bluegrass가 하절기 후기의 고온이나 빈번한 강우에 의한 습한 조건에 가장 강하고, perennial ryegrass가 가장 취약한 것으로 사료된다.

To establish the efficient treatment technology of chemical cleaning wastewater from power plant, several AOPs($UV/H_2O_2,\;UV/TiO_2/H_2O_2$, Photo-Fenton oxidation) were investigated. Treatment efficiencies and the electrical energy requirements based on the EE/O parameter(the electrical energy, required per order of pollutant removal in $1m^3$ wastewater) were evaluated. TOC removal efficiencies of $UV/H_2O_2,\;UV/TiO_2/H_2O_2$, Photo-Fenton oxidation at the optimum conditions were 95.5%, 92.3%, 91.5%, respectively. The electrical energy requirements of $UV/H_2O_2,\;UV/TiO_2/H_2O_2$, Photo-Fenton oxidation were $11.26kWh/m^3,\;3.85kWh/m^3,\;0.799kWh/m^3$, respectively. From these results, it could be concluded that all of the three oxidation processes were effective for the degradation of citric acid. Considering the treatment efficiency and economical aspect, photo-Fenton oxidation was the most efficient treatment process among the three processes tested.

The effects of temperature stress and paraquat on the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and the photochemical efficiency of photosystem II were studied in the leaves of Araliaceae plants. The SOD activity of Acanthopanax koreanum leaf discs increased at 4$^{\circ}C$ and 28$^{\circ}C$, and increased significantly at 4$^{\circ}C$ ,28$^{\circ}C$ and 35$^{\circ}C$ in the presence of paraquat. However, the SOD activity of Dendropanax morbifera leaf discs decreased at 4$^{\circ}C$, 28$^{\circ}C$ and 35$^{\circ}C$ regardless of paraquat treatment. The photochemical efficiency of photosystem II, Fv/Fm, of leaf discs of A. koreanum and D. morbifera fell remarkably at 35$^{\circ}C$. In the presence of paraquat, the Ev/Fm values fell slightly at 4$^{\circ}C$ in A. koreanum leaf discs and at 35$^{\circ}C$, in D. morbifera leaf discs. These results indicate that A. koreanum plants are more resistant to temperature stress or oxidative stress than D. morbifera plants although their photochemical efficiency falls slightly at 4$^{\circ}C$ in the presence of paraquat.

The photochemical characteristics were analyzed in the context of sowing time and different levels of fertilized nitrogen during the maize (Zea mays L.) growth. When maize was early sawn, the fluorescence parameters related with electron-transport, in photosystem II (PSII) and PSI, were effectively enhanced with the higher level of fertilized nitrogen. Highest values were observed in maize leaves grown in double N-fertilized plot. The photochemical parameters were declined in the progress of growth stage. In early growth stage, the fluorescence parameters were highest, and then reduced to about half of the parameters related with electron transport on PSII and PSI at middle and late growth stages. In 1/2 N plot, the photochemical energy dissipation was measured to 13% in term of active reaction center per absorbed photon resulting in decrease in performance index and driving force of electron. This decrease induced to lower the photochemical effectiveness. In 2 N plots, the electron transport flux from $Q_A$ to $Q_B$ per cross section and the number of active PSII RCs per cross section were considerably enhanced. It was clearly indicated that the connectivity between photosynthetic PSII and PSI, i.e. electron transport, was far effective.

In this study, growth enhancing effect of hatchery waste egg decomposed liquid fertilizer in pepper plant cultivation through chlorophyll fluorescence (O-J-I-P) analysis. In a whole growth period, egg decomposed fertilizer treated pepper grew well than non treated plant, though it was not statistically significantly different. Amount of chlorophyll fluorescence of non treated plant was higher thant that of fertilizer treated plant. It is determined that eventually lead to increased photosynthesis. In this study, six parameters, Fo, ABS/RC, RC/ABS, TRo/RC, DI0/RC, and DF Total ABS were the important factors represent efficiency of photochemical responses of pepper plant treated with hatchery waste egg decomposed fertilizer.

We examed physiological and flowering response of S. capitata, the endangered plant in Korea, under LED light conditions in plant factory to cultivate artificially for conservation. We cultivated S. capitata and measured its physiological responses and the number of flowers under red, blue, white, red+far-red mixed, red+blue mixed, and red+blue+white mixed light. The results showed that its photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll content were recorded relatively high in red+blue+white and red+blue mixed light respectively. Transpiration rate and stomatal conductance appeared relatively high in the white single light while water use efficiency was no difference. Photochemical efficiency of photochemical photosystem II by minimum and maximum chlorophyll fluorescence was the highest in the red+blue+white mixed light condition than other ones. The number of flowers of S. capitata was at its peak under the red light or red+far-red mixed light. Therefore, we conclude that the most efficient way to grow for flowering of S. capitata is to provide red light or red+far-red mixed light in the plant factory.

Triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) is a special photochemical process that converts low energy photons to higher energy photon via combination of organic chemicals which fulfill specific energetic criteria. TTA-UC has been known as attractive technology that is able to enhance energy conversion efficiency of the photonic devices based on sunlight, which is achieved by conversion of wasted low energy photons in solar spectrum into higher energy photon. In the present paper, we introduced the photochemical mechanism and characteristics of TTA-UC phenomenon, which is yet unfamiliar to the domestic academia, and investigated recent research status, application, and future research directions of TTA-UC technology.

The objective of this study was to determine the growth and light utilization efficiency of garden plants in shade area through chlorophyll fluorescence reaction analysis. Ten garden plants was grown for 75 days under 50% and 80% shading conditions. Under shading, $ET2_O/RC$, the fluorescence parameter related to electron-transport in photosystem II, was effectively enhanced. However, the electron transport flux until PSI acceptors per reaction center ($RE1_O/RC$) was reduced. These changes in photochemical parameters evoked a decrease in performance index (PI) and driving force (DF) of electron transport flux. In addition, some photochemical parameters such as $F_V$, $FV/F_O$, $RE1_O/RC$, $ET2_O/RC$, $PI_{TOTAL\;ABS}$, and $DF_{TOTAL\;ABS}$ were found to be important for shade tolerance. Three species (Pachysandra terminalis Siebold & Zucc, Physostegia virginiana L., and Carex maculata Bott) were found to be shade tolerant. Based on these results, shading factor index (SFI) deduced from photochemical parameters is useful for evaluating of shading stress of garden plants.

Reproductive phenology and physiological responses of Epilobium hirsutum L. to moisture content and nutrient content of soil were analysed in order to obtain basic data for effective conservation and restoration. Epilobium hirsutum L. is a perennial plant. But Epilobium hirsutum L. grew reproductively in all moisture and nutrient gradients. Flower bud, flowers and peduncle were respectively ripened in earlier under highest moisture condition and highest nutrient condition. And, number of flowers and peduncle were more quickly increased under highest moisture condition and highest nutrient condition. Chlorophyll content was high under highest moisture condition and higher middle moisture condition. However, we found no significant difference of chlorophyll content regard to nutrient gradients. There was no difference in minimum chlorophyll fluorescence among all moisture and nutrient gradients. The photochemical efficiency values of PS II were 0.75 in all moisture gradients, and it was 0.78 in highest nutrient gradient. The chlorophyll content of Epilobium hirsutum L. increased as the moisture content increased, and the Fv/Fm value increased as the organic matter increased. Our results showed that high moisture and nutrient content of soil advance their breeding season and promote reproductive growth. It might be important basic informations for the maintenance of population and the management of habitat of Epilobium hirsutum L. an endangered plant species.
