울산지역의 사문암과 유문암 토양 및 쑥과 참억새의 중금속 함량을 비교하기 위하여 중금속 농도를 분석한 결과 사문암 풍화토의 Ni, Cr 및 Co 함량은 매우 높았다. Ni은 1,483~1.524ppm, Cr은 372~435ppm, Co는 68~79ppm였으며, 유문암 풍화토의 Zn 함량은 222ppm으로 사문암 풍화토보다 높았다. 사문암 풍화토에서 생육하는 쑥의 중금속 함량은 Ni이 108~195ppm. Cr이 135~180ppm, Co가 10.2~22.5ppm으로 유문암 풍화토의 쑥보다 높았고, Zn은 유문암 토양 쑥에서 높았다. 참억새의 경우는 Ni, Cr, Co, As, Se, Mo 및 Fe 가 사문암 토양에서 높았고, Zn 흡수는 유문암 토양에서 많았다. 쑥의 중금속 함량은 대체적으로 지상부가 지하부보다 높았으나, 참억새의 경우는 지하부가 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 토양과 식물체(쑥과 참억새)의 중금속 함량을 비교해 보면 Ni, Cr, Co, As, Sc, Mo 및 Fe의 함량은 토양의 식물체보다 높았으나, 유문암 토양에 있는 쑥의 Zn 흡수는 토양보다 다소 높았다. 식물체의 Fe:Ni 비율은 유문암 토양보다는 사문암 토양이, 참억새보다는 쑥이 낮게 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was loused on understanding of uptake of nutrients by plants, the behaviors of nutrients in soil and the possibility of leaching loss when N fertilizer (urea) and mature compost were applied. Lysimeters (volume 0.15㎥, diameter 62cm, height 62.8cm) were installed for collecting leachate in the Jeju volcanic ash soils. Lysimeter study consisted of thirteen treatments: fellow, fellow with weeding, cropping without fertilizer and compost, three N fertilizer soil surface applications (16, 32, and 64 kg/10a), three N fertilizer and compost soil surface applications (16+800i 32+1600, and 64+3200 kg/10a), two water dissolved N fertilizer applications(16 and 32 kg/10a), and low and high plant densities. The growth of corn (preceding crop) and potatoes (succeeding crop) and leaching loss were determined during the experimental period. The amount of leachate from lysimeter was remarkably greater at bare conditions than at cropping conditions for corn and potatoes. The N content of plants (corn and potatoes) tended to increase as fertilizer rate increased. Fertilization of urea dissolved in water to soil was more efficient than surface fertilization for the growth, yield, and the N uptake N of corn and potatoes. There were no differences in dry matter yield of plants between medium and high N rates, but N, Ca, K and Mg concentrations of plants were higher at higher N rates. There were significant correlations between N uptake and each of Ca, K and Mg uptakes in corn and potatoes. Total N uptake by plants increased with increased N fertilizer and compost applications. Plane absorbed 54.9% of applied N at low N rate and 31.0 to 34.0% at high N rates. The proportion of N leaching losses was lower at low N rate and high plant density.

A rapid and simple RT-PCR diagnosis method for detection of Rice stripe virus (RSV), one of major virus infecting rice, was developed using porous ceramic cubes in this study. The porous ceramic cube can rapidly absorb biological molecules such as small-sized proteins and nucleic acid fragments into its pores. We examined whether this ability of porous ceramic cubes could be applied for isolating viral nucleic acids or particles from the RSV- infected plant tissues. In this study, we found that the porous ceramic cube was capable of absorbing a detection level of viruses from the rice tissues infected with RSV and established RT-PCR-based RNA diagnosis method using porous ceramic cubes.

Phytoremediation is a technology to mitigate the pollutant concentrations such as metals, pesticides, solvents, oils, or others in contaminated water and soils with plants. The plants absorb contaminants through the root and store them in the root, stems, or leaves. Rapid growth trees such as poplar are used to remove low concentrated contaminants eco-friendly and economically in a wide contaminated region. This study was practiced to evaluate an activated carbon production system by using poplar wood discarded after phytoremediation. Life cycle assessment methodology was used to analyze environmental impacts of the system, and the functional unit was one ton of harvested poplar. It was estimated that the small size rotary kiln for activated carbon production from poplar wood had an environmental benefit in optimized conditions to minimize energy consumptions. The results of an avoided environmental impact analysis show that the system contribute to reduce environmental impacts in comparison with activated carbon production from coconut shell.

This study was carried out to examine optimal hot water treatment time in Albizzia julibrissin seeds. Germination and moisture absorption characteristics among intact seeds, immersed seeds for 24 hours in distilled water and hot water treated seeds were surveyed. As result, treated seeds showed a highly significant difference with intact and immersed seeds (p<0.0l). Especially, treated seed for 2.0 minutes represented the highest percent of germination (PG). But mean germination time (MGT) did not have significant difference between non-treatment and treatments (p=0.502). Germination speed and germination performance index showed similar tendency with PG. In percent of moisture absorption (PMA) and moisture absorption rate constant (MARC) treatments had higher values than non-treatment whereas 2.0 minutes treatment was lower than non-treatment in initial moisture absorption rate (IMAR). In relation between germination properties and moisture absorption characteristics, all properties except MGT among germination properties had high correlations with PMA and MARC ($r=0.854{\sim}0.931$,p<0.01) whereas IMAR didn't have correlation.

콩과식물인 전동싸리를 대상으로 통제된 조건하에서 Al과 Co처리에 따른 식물체의 생장반응과 식물체내 중금속의 축적정도 및 근류의 질소고정 활성의 변화를 조사한 결과 중금속은 Co가 Al보다 높게 축적되었고, 처리 초기에는 지하부를, 장기간 처리시는 광합성 기관의 생장을 억제했는데, Co 처리는 영향이 미약하였으나, Al처리구는 다소 심각한 영향을 주었으며, 생장에 비해 질소고정계의 피해가 현저하였다. 전동싸리는 흡수된 중금속을 뿌리수준에서 조절함으로써 광합성기관으로 이동을 억제하는 중금속에 대한 생장적응을 나타내었다. 결국 전동싸리는 30ppm의 중금속 처리시 뿌리 수준에서 조절함으로써 광합성기관으로 전이를 차단하여 금속에 대한 내성 나타내었고, Al이 Co보다 심각한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

식물은 생육에 필요한 특정양분의 요구도가 환경요인, 품종 및 생육단계에 따라 좌우된다. 양액내 특정양분의 부족과 축적은 NFT같은 순환식 재배시스템에서 많은 문제점으로 나타나고 있는데 이는 식물생육이 주로 근권내 EC 조절에 의존하기 때문이다. 일반적으로 Ca, Mg, SO$_4$, Cl, Na, HCO$_3$$^{-}$등이 축적되기 쉬워 대규모 엽채류 재배농가와 식물공장에서 작물생육에 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 있다. (중략)

식물 뿌리에 대한 지식은 식물-토양 사이의 관계 이해, 토양의 호율적 관리, 식물에 의한 영양분과 수분의 흡수 과정 이해, 그리고 토양 등급 지수를 만드는데 있어서 아주 중요하다 식물 뿌리에 관한 정보를 정량화하기 위하여는 뿌리를 흙으로부터 씻어내고 뿌리의 길이, 표면적, 중량과 같은 식물 뿌리의 특성을 측정하여야 한다 하지만 이렇게 뿌리를 씻어 낸 다음 뿌리의 특성을 측정하는 기존의 방법을 이용할 경우 막대한 시간과 노동력이 필요하여 뿌리에 관한 많은 양의 정보를 얻는데 큰 어려움이 있다. 이 연구에서는 식물 뿌리를 관측하는데 필요한 시간과 노동력을 줄일 수 있는 식물 뿌리 측정법을 세선 작업과 자외선 명암 증진법을 이용한 영상 정보 처리 장치를 바탕으로 하여 개발하였다. 개발된 화상 정보 처리 장치를 이용하여 옥수수 뿌리의 길이를 재었을 때 기존의 뿌리 길이 측정 방법보다 2.5 배 발리 측정할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

BACKGROUND: Generally, water plants may play an important role in nutrients(N, P) removal in constructed wetlands(CWs). Previous studies considered nutrients uptake by water plants in various CWs for treating point source pollution. On the other hand, few studies considered nutrients uptake by water plants in free water surface(FWS) CWs for treating non-point source pollution. METHODS AND RESULTS: To investigate characteristics of nutrient uptake by water plants in FWS CWs, dry weights, nutrients content and nutrients uptake by water plants were investigated from April, 2008 to October, 2008. Dominance plants were Phragmites japonica STEUD (PHRJA), Nymphaea tetragona ANGUSTA(NTMTE), Typha orientalis PRESL(TYHOR), Phragmites communis TRINIUS(PHRCO) and Zizanis latifolia TURCZ(ZIZLA) in FWS CWs. The dry weights of water plants in August were higher in the order of TYHOR(54.27 g/plant) > PHRJA(44.30 g/plant) ${\geqq}$ PHRCO(39.60 g/plant) ${\geqq}$ ZIZLA(37.80 g/plant) ${\fallingdotseq}$ NTMTE(36.75 g/plant). The T-N and T-P contents by water plants were not significantly differences regardless of cultivation period. The maximum amount of T-N uptake by water plants in August were 773 mg/plant for PHRJA, 625 mg/plant for NTMTE, 1206 mg/plant for TYHOR, 754 mg/plant for PHRCO and 768 mg/plant for ZIZLA. The maximum amounts of T-P uptake by PHRJA, NTMTE, TYHOR, PHRCO and ZIZLA were 397, 177, 411, 261 and 229 mg/plant in August, respectively. CONCLUSION(s): The results of this study suggest that optimum water plant was Typha orientalis PRESL in free water surface constructed wetlands.
