Plant factory is the fruit of the most advanced modern agricultural technology. This is a crop-producing technology that controls systematically sowing, cultivating, and harvesting crops within an indoor factory. Growing crops in a factory has advantages over traditional farming because it produces safer crops all year around due to clean environment and it is easier to hire workers at the factory. Developed countries has invested actively in this field for several decades because its economical and industrial impact are predicted to be enormous. Recently, Korea also begins to investigate this field actively to develop a system that may be competitive at global market, using technologies and human resources that Korea already has. The plant factory technology is currently less competitive than traditional farming because it requires a large initial investment and management cost and lacks cultivation technologies for various crops. However, I believe in solving these problems if plant biotechnologists participate in developing the plant factory system. If this technology is developed well in Korea, then it will play a great role in solving food and environmental issues.

This study was conducted in order to provide as a basic materials of sea cliff vegetation structure through distribution related with the landform and growth pattern of mixed growth plants by ordination method in the Peucedanum japonicum community of Korea. The mixed growth plants of frequency over 10% growth with Peucedanum japonicum community of sea cliff was investigated as a total 26 species, and the frequency of appearing plants was the highest in the Aster spathulifolius(55.7%). Growing pattern of mixed growth plants was a difference by the landform factors as such the inland side, coastline side, flat and slope. Growing pattern was classified into typicality type, one-sided type and complex type. Growing pattern of the typicality type was good distribution in total landform factors, the one-sided type was good distribution in 1 landform factor and the complex type was good distribution in 2 landform factors. In growing pattern of mixed growth plants with Peucedanum japonicum, Artemisia capillaris and Sedum oryzifolium was typicality type, Elymus dahuricus and Artemisia princeps was one-sided type, and Aster spathulifolius, Miscanthus sinensis, Calystegia soldanella and Lysimachia mauritiana was complex type. In total plants of mixed growth, growing pattern of 16 species of 61.5% was good as complex type.

This study was carried out to find prioritization and evaluation of importance factor for plant factory development direction. According to the results, experts have put profitability secure at the top of development of plant factory industry. It is urgently needed in economic sector that products from plants factory secure the market and adjust the shipping date through contract cultivation and year-round production. Also, illuminant technology is also important in technology development section and R&D. On the other hand, consumers do not yet fully understand the benefits of the plant factory, and this will lead to continued slow sales. Therefore, the government needs to draw up measures to support producers who cultivated agricultural products from plant factory.

사면의 식생이 초기에는 강우에 의해서 표면흐름, 지하수위 증가, 지표수의 침윤에 의해서 성장이 될 수 있으나, 시간이 경과함에 따라 식생에 의한 사면의 안정성을 확보 하는 데에는 큰 영향을 미치지 못한다. 즉, 사면의 식생을 복우언시켜 식물근(뿌리)에 의해서 사면을 안정화 시키기 위해서는 사면의 위치, 고도 및 방향 등에 따라 적응할 수 있는 식물의 선택과 성장에 충분한 수분을 보습할 수 있는 구조의 사면계획과 구조물 설치가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 절$\cdot$성토면에서 경사면의 붕괴를 방지하고 식생을 복원하는 방법으로 Mattress Gabion을 제안하였다. 정형화되고 유연성 있는 다공성 Mattress 구조를 통한 식생의 복원은 사면의 안정과 환경친화적인 목적을 모두 만족할 수 있었다. 특히, Gabion 근고공이 설치된 이후에 공극이 큰 Mattress 구조물을 중심으로 식물의 뿌리를 지반에 직접 연결하거나, 식생 활착이 어려운 암반 절취 사면에서도 Mattress 옹벽을 통해서 식물이 양질의 흙에 직접 활착할 수 있도록 설계한 사면 Mattress의 경우는 사면의 안정성 증대와 아울러 지하수의 표면흐름과 투수 및 침윤에 의한 식물의 성장피해를 최소화하고 시간이 지날수록 식생에 의해서 Mattress Gabion 옹벽이 내구성과 유연성을 유지할 수 있었다.

천연물의약품은 식물, 동물, 미생물 및 이의 세포내용물과 광물 등 자연계에 존재하는 물질을 의약품으로 사용한 것으로 말하며, 이들 중 대부분은 식물 유래이다. 식물추출물은 다양한 성분들이 서로 상호작용하면서 혼합되어 있는 형태로 다양한 질환에 대한 조합치료 (combination therapy)에 이용될 수 있어, 생체내에서 다중 타겟에 영향을 미치므로 천연물의 조추출물 (crude extract) 또는 다양한 성분이 함유되어 있는 용매분획물의 형태를 의약품으로 개발하거나, 이로부터 분리된 단일 성분 화합물 및 이의 합성유도체에 대하여 새로운 의약품, 즉 신약을 개발하고자 하는 노력이 시도되고 있다. 2011년 현재 전체의약품 시장에서 천연물의약품 및 천연물유래 의약품이 약 60%이상을 차지하고 있다. 그러나, 국내 천연물의약품 즉, 천연물신약의 개발은 2010년 기준으로 식약청 임상허가 신청현황에서 70%가 관절염과 관련된 의약품일 정도로 고령화에 따른 건강기능식품의 개발방향과 일치되고 있는 경향을 나타내고 있어 다양한 질환을 타겟으로 한 의약품의 개발이 미흡것으로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 경향은 천연물신약개발에 대한 프로세스에 대한 이해의 부족으로 새로운 시도가 이루어지지 않고 있음을 시사하며, 따라서 천연물신약허가에 필요한 제출자료 및 각 자료생산을 위한 방법 등 천연물신약 개발 및 허가를 위한 프로세스에 대하여 설명하였다.

Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is known as molecular chaperone, the fundamental protein participating in various processes, from nascent protein synthesis to protection of proteins during abiotic stresses and developmental programs. However, their biological functions in plants are not yet well known. Here, NtHSP70-1 (AY372069), HSP70 of Nicotiana tabacum induced by heat stress was investigated. To analyze the protective role of NtHSP70-1, transgenic tobacco plants, which constitutively overexpressed NtHSP70-1 as well as contained either the vector alone or having NtHSP70-1 in the antisense orientation, were constructed. The altered NtHSP70-1 levels in plants were confirmed by western blotting and transgenic sense lines exhibited tolerance to heat stress. Seedlings with the constitutively expressed NtHSP70-1 grew as green or healthy plants after heat stress. In contrast, transgenic vector or antisense lines exhibited yellowing of leaves or some delay in growth, which finally led to death. Evaluation of chlorophyll contents of heat-shocked transgenic tobacco seedlings indicated that NtHSP70-1 contributes to thermotolerance by preventing chlorophyll synthesis in plants.

대규모 개발사업을 시행함에 있어 우리는 종종 무의식적으로 토양층을 교란시키게 된다. 식물 성장에 있어 토양은 영양분을 공급하는 중요한 역할을 하고 특히 토양 중 표토층은 식물 생장에 필요한 많은 영양성분을 갖고 있으므로 토양층의 파괴는 식재된 수목의 하자와 직접 연결된다. 살아있는 식물을 다루는 조경공사에서는 공사 후 높은 하자율을 걱정하기에 앞서 수목의 원활한 활착을 위해 토양을 건강하게 유지하도록 노력해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 수목과 토양의 생리학적 관계 및 토양의 기본적인 성질과 표토의 중요성, 표토의 특성을 유지하는 방안 등에 대해 고찰하고 사례연구로 한국토지공사에서 시행한 용인 동백지구의 표토 활용사례를 검토하여 문제점을 파악하고 보다 효과적인 표토층 보존을 위한 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 수목의 성장률, 건강도, 수형 등은 직접적으로 토양의 질과 연결되고 양질의 토양은 수목의 원활한 생장을 가져와 결국 수준 높은 경관을 형성할 수 있게 된다. 본 연구를 통해 수목과 토양의 생리학적 관계를 파악하고 수목의 성장에 적정한 환경을 제공함으로써 불량한 토양으로 인한 수목의 하자율을 사전에 방지하고 수목의 건강성을 유지하는 방안 설정에 도움이 되고자 한다.

The trends of plant-related teaching and learning of elementary and secondary schools were presented in this paper. The textbooks of other subject matters except biology were analyzed for their plant-related learning contents. It was suggested that interconnection exists between biology and other subjects in the relations with plant-related learning materials. A total of 331 books were analyzed from 143 elementary schools, 117 middle schools and 71 high schools. 1. Among the learning materials, 264 species of plant were presented in elementary schools textbooks, 295 in middle schools, and 283 in high schools. Other subjcets had more various plants than biology. 2. Korean language, social study and home ecology had more plant materials than other subjects with not only simple citation but scientific concepts and inquiry activities. As this plant-related materials is considerable for school education and science curriculum. 3. The available plants in daily life - resource plants, edible plants, demonstration plants and engineering-related plants - were cited in other subjects. Interconnection of plant-related materials with biology and other subjects will provide basis of STS education and subject integration.
