This study was conducted to develop mathematical model of respiration rate of cucumber plant under varying environmental conditions. 8.55% of gross photosynthesis of individual cucumber plant was used as respiration. Growth respiration coefficient was estimated as 0.0935. Maintenance respiration rate was estimated as 0.00158g CH$_2$g$^{-1}$ .h$^{-1}$ at 24$^{\circ}C$ of air temperature and it increased exponentially as air temperature became higher. Respiration rate decreased poportionally as content of storage carbohydrate became lower. Ion uptake respiration rate of roots was estimated as 0.6648g C$H_2O$.(gN)$^{-1}$ .

식물의 호흡에 영향하는 환경요인은 총 광합성율에 영향하는 모든 요인을 들 수 있으며 뿌리의 호흡에는 근권환경요인 및 질소 흡수량과 같은 영양요인도 들 수 있다. 환경요인의 변화에 따른 식물의 생장 및 수량을 예측하는 식물생장모형의 개발은 식물의 생장이 광합성과 호흡에 의해 좌우되므로 환경요화의 변이에 따른 생육모형개발이 우선적이라 할 수 있다. (중략)

Respitation and growth rates of leaves, branches, stems and roots of 2 to 11-yr-old red pine trees(Pinus densiflora) were examined and applied to Thornley's growth equation, $$R=(\frac{1-Yg}{Yg})\frac{dW}{dt}+mW$$. The conversion efficiency of substrates(Yg), maintenance respiration coefficients(m), relative growth rates(${\mu}$) were estimated. The efficiency of conversion of substrates (Yg) was 0.3637g/g dw/yr and the maintenance respiration coefficient(m0 was 0.094g/g dw/yr. The relative growth rate(${\mu}$) was remarkably reduced with age from 0.90(2-year-old) to 0.33:11 year-old). The Ratio of gross respiration(R) per gross photosynthesis(Pg), R/Pg showed the range of 0.6~0.7 and annually 64% of Pg was spent for constructive respiration. The 3.4% of dry weight of whole tree was spent for maintenance respiration.

Panax ginseng seedlings were grown at various temperature regimes from 15 to $30^{\circ}C$ for 19 days under dark and the linear relationship between various regrowth efficiencies and thermal stress indices, cumulative superoptimum temperatures corrected with factors. Gross growth efficiency(shoot weight l root weight loss) was 37.5 % at the optimum temperature $15^{\circ}C$/$15^{\circ}C$, and 12.3% at the highest temperature, $30^{\circ}C$/$30^{\circ}C$ while net growth efficiency (shoot weight + Sm)l(root loss-Rm), which corrected by maintenance respiration for shoot(Sm) and root(Rm) was 39.6% and 16.7 at optimum and highest temperature respectively. All growth efficiencies showed negative correlations (p = 0.001) with all thermal stress indices and negative(p = 0.001) with shoot growth(St). When growth temperature difference in a day was nil or above $15^{\circ}C$ growth efficiency decreased greatly. Thermal stress indices showed negative correlation with root dry matter loss(RDL) but positive with Rm. St showed positive correlation with RDL. Thermal stress appeared to inhibit substrate supply for shoot growth resulting in the extremely low growth efficiency comparing with other crops that seems to be main rate limiting factor of slow growth, Thus it is necessary that growth efficiency and thermal stress must be elucidated in terms of metabolic pathway.

Artificial Asian dust was treated in this study to compare and determine its effect on growth, photosynthesis, respiration and stomata of 5 species trees. Sophora japonica's growth and respiration using artificial Asian dust treatment which is 10 times of average contents of Asian dust: $5,000{\mu}g{\cdot}m^{-2}$ decreases after 3 weeks while no significant difference in other species. The maximum photosynthesis of Sophora japonica and Betula pendula decreased significantly after 3 weeks and 6 weeks, respectively, using artificial Asian dust treatment which is average contents of Asian dust: $500{\mu}g{\cdot}m^{-2}$. At $5,000{\mu}g{\cdot}m^{-2}$ treatment, photosynthesis of both species decreased just after treatment of artificial Asian dust. Quercus acutissima, Quercus mongolica and Acer triflorum have no significant differences. Dust was found inside the Sophora japonica's stomatas under heavy dust treatment when viewed under the light electron microscope. By scanning electron microscopy, the higher rate of stomatal opening of Sophora japonica and Betula pendula was recognized and the size of both stomatas was bigger than other species. This result means that Asian dust has an influence in decreasing the photosynthesis, respiration and growth of some species especially if the stomatas are large.

Plants living riverside show diverse resistance responses to submergence. The promoted petiole elongation of semi-aquaitc plants, e.g., such as Ranunculus sceleratus and Rumex palustris, is one of the adaptive responses mediated by the plant hormone ethylene. The gaseous hormone is trapped in submerged plant tissues and enhances the petiole growth by increasing sensitivity of the tissues to some plant hormones including auxin. Due to the stimulated growth of petioles, the leaves finally reach the water surface and can respirate again. At the water surface, the accumulated ethylene diffuses out from the tissues to the air. As a result, the increased hormone sensitivity decreases again, and thus the growth rate reduces to the basal level as before. The increased auxin sensitivities by ethylene observed in Ranunculus sceleratus, revealed by the changes in the auxin dose-response curves, indicate the increase of affinities of the receptors to auxin. However, the molecular mechanism of the affinity regulation remains still largely unknown, because the identity of the auxin receptor is still unclear.

생물은 자기 복제를 통한 생장이나 생명유지를 위해 에너지를 필요로 한다. 화학영양생물은 화학에너지를 발효 혹은 호흡을 통해 생물학적 에너지로 전환시키며, 광영양생물은 광합성 작용을 통해 광에너지를 이용한다. 발효, 호흡, 광합성은 모두 산화-환원 반응을 통해 이루어진다. 생물의 모든 에너지 전환반응은 산화-환원 반응, 즉 전자의 흐름으로 이루어지며 생명현상이 에너지를 필요로 하기 때문에 생명현상은 전자의 흐름으로 이루어진다고 할 수 있다. 모든 생물이 에너지 전환 반응에 산화-환원 반응을 이용한다는 말은 생물이 많은 종류의 산화-환원 효소를 보유하고 있다는 뜻이며, 실제 많은 종류의 산화-환원 효소가 발견되고 연구되었다.

The objective of this study is to investigate change in diurnal respiration and transpiration of the fruits of kiwifruit during fruit growth. Three-hourly fruit transpiration and respiration rate were measured by a chamber technique. Results showed a tendency of higher transpiration and respiration in at maturation to commercial harvest period in 1995 fruit than in 1996 fruit. Fruit respiration rates were very similar to the transpiration rates. The air temperature record for the fruit maturation period in 1996 showed a sudden drop on September $19{\sim}24$ and October 14 down to $7{\sim}13^{\circ}C$. These results suggest that abnormal fruit transpiration and respiration rate in the fruit maturation period might be influenced by the air temperature.

Resazurin-based microtiter assay was used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of fungicides on the respiration of Colletotrichum acutatum s. lat. 20JDS8 sensitive and 20CDJ6 resistant to strobilurin fungicides. The spores of C. acutatum s. lat. 20JDS8 were inoculated into potato dextrose broth (PDB) at densities of 1x10⁴, 1x10⁵ and 1x10⁶ spores/ml, respectively. The relative fluorescence unit (RFU) of all treatments inoculated at each spore density started to rise after 12 hr of incubation, and were 1,965.5, 5,412.5, and 10,061.0, respectively, after 24 hr of incubation. To evaluate the inhibitory effect of fungicide on the respiration of the pathogen, the spores of the pathogen were inoculated into the PDB and treated with the fungicides 0, 6, 12, and 24 hr after incubation, respectively. After keeping the pathogen culturing for another 24 hr, PrestoBlue reagent was treated into the PDB culturing the pathogen. The RFU of each treatment was examined 1 hr after the reagent was treated. When dithianon, isopyrazam, pyraclostrobin, and fluazinam were treated at high concentrations in the stages of spores (immediately after inoculation [0 hr]), spore germination (after incubation for 6 hr), and hyphal growth (after incubation for 12 hr), the respiration of pathogens was inhibited by 90-100%. When the fungicides were treated after culturing the pathogen for 24 hr, the respiratory inhibitory effects were greatly reduced. With pyraclostrobin-resistant C. acutatum s. lat. 20CDJ6, azxoystrobin, trifloxystrobin and kresoxim-methyl, which have the same mode of action, had very little or no respiratory inhibitory effect in all growth stages of pathogens. Based on the above results, it was thought that the resazurin-based microtiter assay could quickly and accurately evaluate the inhibitory efficacy of the fungicides that inhibited respiration.

Respiration and soluble carbohydrates of stored mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) were determined to be associated with physiological and biochemical changes induced by ionizing radiation treatment which was applied for extending the shelf-life. Immediately after gamma irradiation at 1 to 3 kGy, the respiratory rate of mushrooms increased linearly with increasing doses of irradiation, and then it normarized after 2 days of storage at $9{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ and $80{\pm}7%$ RH. In the nonirradiated mushrooms, the respiratory peak was observed at around 5 to 6 days after storage, while irradiation treatment not only reduced respiratory activities of stored mushrooms, but prolonged the peak development. Moisture content and dry matter of mushrooms packaged in a paper box and polyethylene film were relatively constant during the storage for 20 days and the reducing sugar contents decreased significantly after 5 days of storage(p<0.01). Free sugars of mushroom pilei, which consisted of mannitol, trehalose and glucose, also markedly decreased at the earlier part of the storage period and thereafter, 2 kGy irradiation resulted in the reduction of their changes.
