지상측정 및 위성영상탑재 광학센서를 이용하여 벼 주요 생육시기에 대한 군락의 엽질소 함량을 추정하였다. 6월부터 10월에 걸쳐 주요 생육시기 $5{\sim}6$회에 걸쳐 Orbview 및 QuickBird와 같이 4m 이하의 고해상도 다중영상을 취득하였다. 위성영상 취득일에 가능한한 맞추어 인공광원을 사용하는 2종의 능동형 광학 (G)NDVI 센서를 이용한 벼 군락의 반사특성을 측정하였으며 동시에 식물체 샘플링을 통한 생육량, 엽면적지수, 엽질소 함량 등을 분석하였다. 시기별 영상의 분광반사특성 및 (G)NDVI와 벼 생육량 및 엽질소 함량과의 관계를 알아보기 위해 상관분석 및 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 지상센서 및 위성영상 유래 (G)NDVI의 값을 서로 비교해 보면 전체적으로 지상센서를 이용하여 측정한 (G)NDVI값이 위성영상 유래 (G)NDVI값보다 크게 나타났다. 하지만 두 센서 모두 엽면적지수 변화에 따른 (G)NDVI의 변화를 살펴보면 엽면적지수가 2 정도가 될 때까지는 함께 증가하다가 2보다 커지면서는 변화가 없이 머무르는 경향은 같게 나타났다. 엽면적지수의 변화는 군락의 엽질소함량 변화와 선형적인 관계($R^2=0.80$)로 나타났다. 분얼기부터 성숙초기까지의 자료를 이용하여 지상센서 및 위성영상 유래 (G)NDVI를 이용한 벼 군락의 엽질소 함량과의 관계를 살펴보니 지수함수적 관계($R^2=0.90$)로 나타났다. 위성영상 유래 (G)NDVI를 이용한 벼 군락의 엽질소 함량 추정식을 이용하여 신평면 최고쌀 생산단지에 대한 엽질소 함량 지도를 작성하였다.

Purpose : This study was performed to evaluate the characteristics of rat mesenchymal stem cells (RMSCs) transduced with human ferritin gene and investigate $in$ $vitro$ MRI detectability of ferritin-transduced RMSCs. Materials and Methods: The RMSCs expressing both myc-tagged human ferritin heavy chain subunit (myc-FTH) and green fluorescence protein (GFP) were transduced with lentiviurs. Transduced cells were sorted by GFP expression using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter. Myc-FTH and GFP expression in transduced cells were detected by immunofluorescence staining. The cell proliferative ability and viability were assessed by MTT assay. The RMSC surface markers (CD29+/CD45-) were analyzed by flow cytometry. The intracellular iron amount was measured spectrophotometically and the presence of ferritin-iron accumulation was detected by Prussian blue staining. $In$ $vitro$ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study of cell phantoms was done on 9.4 T MR scanner to evaluate the feasibility of imaging the ferritin-transduced RMSCs. Results: The myc-FTH and GFP genes were stably transduced into RMSCs. No significant differences were observed in terms of biologic properties in transduced RMSCs compared with non-transduced RMSCs. Ferritin-transduced RMSCs exhibited increased iron accumulation ability and showed significantly lower $T_2$ relaxation time than non-transduced RMSCs. Conclusion: Ferritin gene as MR reporter gene could be used for non-invasive tracking and visualization of therapeutic mesenchymal stem cells by MRI.

In order to examine the natural distribution variations between groups of the Stewartia koreana, the leaf form characteristics of the investigation sites were analyzed by each group. As a result, the Mt. Kumsan group showed a smaller value in leaf length, width, area, and the number of veins, but not in the petiole length and serration number. Among each character, the coefficient of variation(CV) of the characters excluding petiole length and leaf area was in a comparatively narrow range, from 11.6~17.4%. On the other hand, the CV of petiole length and leaf area between the groups was 34.9% and 28.4% respectively. The CV of these characters within the group was also extraordinary- petiole length showed 29.5~42% and leaf area showed 27.7~40.7%. Also, the simple correlation analysis between 12 leaf characteristics showed that the correlation between leaf width and leaf area was high (r=0.975). The correlations between leaf length and leaf area, between leaf length and leaf width were 0.971 and 0.969, respectively. A negative correlation between angle of leaf base and ratio of leaf length to leaf width was discovered (r= -0.843), meaning that the ratio of leaf length to leaf width decreases as angle of leaf base increases. A cluster analysis was enforced among leaf characteristics of the selected group as a standard on the similarity of quantitative, qualitative measurements. The results showed that at a 0.4 distance level, the subjects could be classified into 4 groups. Group 1 was the Mt. Jogyesan and Mt. Kayasan group, group 2 was Mt. Paegunsan, group 3 was Mt. Unmunsan and Mt. Mudungsan, and group 4 was Mt. Kumsan. At a distance level of 0.6, the subjects were classified into two groups. Group 1 was the Mt. Ktimsan group and group 2 was Mt. Mudungsan, Unmunsan, Paegunsan, Kayasan, and Cogyesan. Especially the Mt. Kumsan group had the smallest value in the leaf characteristics of leaf length, width, area, and the number of veins, showing an obvious difference from the other five groups. There were five principal components that had a meaningful eigenvalue over 1.0 among the 12 extracted components. The explanatory power of the top two main components (leaf length and width) on the total variation was 52.7%. The explanatory power was 91.3% when all 5 main components were included.

This research was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity and select useful accession with agronomic characteristics of garlic (Allium sativum L.). germplasms at Garlic Research Institute in Chungbuk Agricultural Research and Extension Service. Morphological diversity and relationships among 160 germplasms collected from 26 countries were assessed by methods of clustering and principal component analysis. Among 11 types of leaves and bulbs characteristics, emergence days of leaf showed the highest variation with coefficient of variation of 84.8%, and the bulb weight and the number of scales showed higher variability with 24.3%. Correlation analysis based on 11 quantitative traits showed that bulb weight and bulb length have very high positive correlation with bulb quantity. Plant height, leaf length, and number of leaves showed positive correlation with bulb weight as collections with better performance in growth produced large bulb with higher quality. The cluster analysis based on 5 principal components generated 6 clusters with an average distance of 1.6 among clusters. Domestic genetic resources were the largest with 36 species (22.5%) in group II.

Characteristics of vegetative spur leaf, spur bud, fruiting supr leaf and flowering in relation to canopy position was investigated on order to promote better spur bud and flower bud differentiation on Citrus junos. There was no difference in vegetative spur leaf characteristics among directions. Vegetative spur leaf number and leaf area showed no difference between top and bottom position. There was no difference in spur bud size among directions, but spur bud at top was larger than that at bottom. Specific leaf weight of vegetative spur was mostly influenced by light interception, and leaf dry weight per spur average leaf dry weight, spur bud length and diameter had also a very high correlation with light interception rate. Shading and GA treatment in spur bud and flower bud differentiation was ineffective than natural light. Fruit thinning enhanced fruit quality as well as flower bud differentiation through an increase of leaf number per fruit, over 40 in Citrus junos.

Wilting and transpiration charactistics of Panax ginseng leaves were investigated at two temperature levels. Water potential and water absorption characteristics of leaf segments were also observed. Soybean leaves were compared. 1. Ginseng leaves were thiner, higher in water content and lower in dehydration rate. But time required to reach permanent wilting point (pwp) was less than half of that of soybean leaves because water content at pwp was about two times higher (80% of initial water for ginseng and 50% for soybean leaves). The time was shorter under high air temperature. 2. Transpiration rate was about a quater of soybean leaves and lower at $33^{\circ}C$ than $23^{\circ}C$, indicating that ginseng leaves are less tolorant to high air temperature. 3. Ginseng leaf segment showed smaller water free space but greater water deficit and little difference in was absorption rate. 4. Water potential of leaves measured by liquid immersion method was lower than that of soybean leaves. 5. Above results strongly suggest that ginseng plants are more susceptible to water stress. Thus greater light intensity during leaf growing stage (April to June) is recommendable to increase stomate frequency resulting greater transpiration rate and high temperature tolerance during July and August. Abundant water around roots seems to be beneficial as long as oxygen is not limited in rhizosphere.

To find ideal leaf types for soybean breeding program, we examined the relationships among leaf anatomical and morphological characteristics and $\textrm{CO}_2$ assimilation on the different leaflet shape of soybean (Glycine max). In anatomical characters of leaf, palisade and spongy cells were thicker in both small seed cultivars with narrow leaflet and large seed cultivars with wide leaflet than others. $\textrm{CO}_2$ uptake per plant and leaf thickness were significantly associated with seed yield per plant, showing difference among the soybean cultivars. Although the leaf area was lower for narrow leaflet cultivars, which had a significantly higher photosynthetic rate per plant comparable to the wide leaflet cultivars.

Differences in the amount and chemical characteristics of the epicuticular waxes on rice leaves were studied for the active tillering and heading stages of rice varieties differing widely in gross leaf-surface property and genetics. The amount of waxes on surfaces of rice leaf-blades was determined by extraction with chloroform and chemical composition of the waxes was characterized by thin layer chromatography, gas liquid chromatography and infrared spectrophotometry. The amount of waxes varied by variety and significantly with growth stage. The amount at the heading stage was 1.7 to 3.6 mg/g fresh weight of leaves, which was two to three times as much as that at the tillering stage of 0.8 to 1.8 mg/g fresh weight. The waxes consisted of seven chemical classes, namely diols, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, fatty aldehydes, fatty esters, saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. Diols and unsaturated hydrocarbons were identified as new chemical classes of the rice epicuticular waxes. The polar constituents such as dials, fatty acids and fatty alcohols and the non-polars such as fatty aldehydes, fatty esters, and saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons were identified at the heading stage, but at the tillering stage only the non-polar compounds were identified. In the carbon numbers (C) of the chemical classes, diols were composed entirely of C30 and acids were mainly of C30 and C31. In alcohols, primary alcohols were composed of C13 and C32, and the secondary alcohols were of C14, C16 and / or C30 regardless of the rice varieties. The acid portion of fatty esters, mainly composed of C22 and C23, showed low cabon numbers compared with the aldehydes. The alcohol portion of them showed a wide distribution in carbon numbers from C13 to C26 depending on the rice varieties. Hydrocarbons had odd carbon numbers, consisting mainly of C29 and C31.

To determine variations in leaflet length (LL), leaflet width (LW), leaflet size (LS), and leaflet shape index (LSI), and their association with eight agronomic traits, characterization data of 884 soybean accessions which were grown in the autumn of 1992 in Taiwan were analyzed. LL ranged from 4.3 to 14.7 cm, and LW ranged from 2.8 to 9.7 cm. Also, LS (LL $\times$ LW) ranged from 12.1 to 124.6 $\textrm{cm}^2$. The absolute variation of LL, LW, and LS was not large because of limitation in vegetative growth by short day length. None was classified as a large leaflet based on the International Board for Plant Genetic Resources (IBPGR) descriptors. LSI (LL /LW) ranged from 1.21 to 3.06, and three accessions were classified as narrow leaflet. There were differences in ranges and means of LL, LW, LS, and LSI between and within temperate and tropical accessions. LL, LW, LS, and LSI had highly significant positive correlations with seven agronomic traits and highly significant negative correlation with 100-seed weight except LW for all accessions. There was variation in the closeness of association among leaflet traits, and between and within temperate and tropical accessions. Generally, LL, LW, and LS were more closely associated with days to flowering, plant height at $R_1$ and $R_8$, number of pods per plant; LSI was more closely associated with 100-seed weight than other traits.
