This study explored the effects of year-long plant observation activities as a strategy for classroom management on third-grade elementary school students. To examine the effects of the activities, plant observations were described according to the time of sequence and the observation types and students' epistemic emotions were analyzed. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, steady plant observation activities caused meaningful changes in the students' observation types. Second, it induced the students' active participation with positive emotions. That is, the plant observation activities allowed the students to observe using various senses, raised their interest and curiosity, and thus resulted in satisfactory learning experiences while having fun during participation.

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the observation ability and scientific creativity of elementary students through observation learning of outdoor plants and to identify the factors that influence the two constructs. The study recruited 21 fifth-graders in Seoul. After evaluating observation ability and scientific creativity through observation tasks, qualitative data were obtained through interviews with students about their observation of the plants. Additionally, the study collected various materials, such as the observation records and worksheets of the students to verify the validity of research. The main results of this study are as follows. First, the students were first classified into four groups according to levels of observation ability and scientific creativity. The result demonstrated that the higher the level of observation ability, the higher the level of scientific creativity. Second, observation ability and scientific creativity pointed to a positive correlation. Furthermore, originality, which is one of the components of scientific creativity, indicated a weak positive correlation with observation ability. Third, the factors that influenced observation ability were frequency of plant observation and interest and cooperation in observation learning, and those of scientific creativity were observation ability and the level of plant-related knowledge. Lastly, the study discussed educational methods for improving observation ability and scientific creativity.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of simulated acid rain (SAR) in the shoot growth and internal structure of Arabidopsis thaliana. In the shoot growth, the plants treated with SAR (pH 3.0) for 15 days showed no morphological change compared to the control plants. Some change was observed in the internal structure of the stems: the epidermis and cortex tissues of the stems treated with SAR were partly damaged. The plants treated with SAR showed no noticeable difference compared to the control plants, but morphological changes were observed in the leaf. The leaves of the plants treated with SAR showed many white necrotic spots on the part of upper epidermis. A light microscopic examination of the leaves with necrotic spots showed that the upper epidermis was severely compressed with the damaged cuticle layer and the mesophyll cells were also damaged and compressed. However, noticeable structural change of vascular bundle cells was not observed.

아열대성 식물 4종 (문주란, Crinum asiaticum var. japonicum; 박달목서, Osmanthus insularis; 죽절초, Chloranthus glaber; 파초일엽, Asplenium antiquum)을 대상으로 자연 환경요인의 변화에 의한 항산화 효소 (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase)의 활성과 isoenzyme 패턴의 변화를 전기영동으로 조사하였다. 그 결과, peroxidase의 활성과 isoenzyme 패턴이 식물종이나 환경조건에 따라 가장 다양하게 나타났다. Peroxidase는 4종 모두에서 여름철보다 겨울철에 활성이 높았고 문주란, 박달목서, 파초일엽에서는 겨울철에 특이적으로 발현되는 isoenzyme들도 관찰할 수 있었다. Catalase는 문주란, 박달목서, 파초일엽에서 검출되었다. 문주란 잎에서는 겨울철에 비해 여름철에 다소 높은 활성을 보였으며, 박달목서와 파초일엽에서는 겨울철에 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 그리고 문주란과 박달목서에서는 겨울철에 새벽이나 밤보다 낮시간에 높은 활성을 보였는데 파초일엽에서는 낮시간의 catalase 활성이 낮았다. Superoxide dismutase는 문주란, 박달목서, 파초일엽에서 검출되었으며, 특히 박달목서에서는 겨울철에 높은 활성을 보였다. Ascorbate peroxidase는 문주란과 파초일엽에서 관찰되었으나 계절적으로 큰 차이가 없었으며, 겨울철에는 isoenzyme 패턴의 일주기적 변화가 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과, 종별로는 문주란, 파초일엽에서 4종의 항산화효소가 모두 검출되었고, 박달목서에서는 ascorbate peroxidase가, 죽절초에서는 peroxidase를 제외한 모든 항산화 효소가 검출되지 않았다. 식물종에 따라 또는 환경요인의 변화에 따라 항산화효소의 활성 또는 isoenzyme 패턴의 차이를 보이고 있지만 항산화효소의 계절적 그리고 일주기적 변화가 관찰되어, 본 연구에서 조사된 4종의 아열대성 식물이 자연환경 조건 하에서도 산화적 스트레스에 처하고 있는 것으로 보인다.

The productions of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal(AMF) spores were observed by adding three different commercial fertilizers on AMF inhabiting soils. Various morphological features, vesicles, arbuscles, sporulations of spore, and flower-like-structures, were also found in the mycorrhizal roots during 80 days after transplanting. Spore prodcutions of the employed AMF were observed to be periodically increased with the intervals of 40 days. Sorghum, green onion, hot pepper, and wild legume plants were appeared to be a good plant for productions of AMF and as the host of AMF. The productions of AMF spores was inversely related to phosphate fertilizer, and also observed to be low in the plant pots added with whole balanced fertilizers.

This study explored the richness patterns of vascular plant species and evaluated the effects of the climatic and habitat variables on the observed patterns along elevational gradients on the Mt. Baekhwa, South Korea. Plant data were recorded from 70 plots and a total of 187 plant species with 78 woody and 109 herbaceous species were recorded along two study transects, the Banyasa and Bohyunsa transects, on the Mt. Baekhwa. A total of 154 plant species with 66 woody and 88 herbaceous species and 131 plant species with 58 woody and 73 herbaceous species were recorded along the Banyasa and Bohyunsa transects, respectively. We used simple ordinary least squares regression model, multi-model inference and variation partitioning to analyze the relative contribution of climatic and habitat variables on the elevational richness patterns. Species richness pattern for vascular plants along the Banyasa transect monotonically decreased with elevation, whereas plant species richness showed reversed hump-shaped pattern along the Bohyunsa transect. Although the elevational patterns of species richness for vascular plants were different between the both transects, habitat variables are more important predictors than climatic variables for the elevational patterns of plant species richness along our study transects on the Mt. Baekhwa. These results indicate that elevational diversity patterns of vascular plants may be different even between nearby elevational transects in a mountain ecosystem but the diversity patterns may be controlled by same drivers.

To obtain a basic information of the development of Genus Viola, morphological and histological observation of in vitro calli and cells in Viola culture cells were investigated. There were two callus types obtained by long term subculture of wild viola (Viola partrinii DC. ) petiole callus. One was friable callus - soft and pale green in color and small cells in size, and the other was compact callus - compact and deep bluish green in color, large cells in size. In scanning electron microscopic observation, friable callus was composed of voculated cell around small. cell clump, while compact callus was composed of cells filled with protoplasm Somatic embryogenesis was observed from suspension culture of the compact callus.
