Sasa borealis (bamboo) is a perennial medicinal plant and its leaves are utilized widely in Korea. In this study, effects of bamboo leaves (Sasa borealis) extract on the physical, textural, and sensory characteristics of cooked rice were examined. Four kinds of cooked rice were prepared with 0.0% (control), 0.2%, 0.3% or 0.4% of the extract (w/w). Moisture content of the cooked rice decreased with increasing amounts of extract. Color of the cooked rice was darkened gradually with increasing amounts of extract and appeared yellowish-brown. Among the four textural properties, only hardness increased significantly by the addition of the extract. Sensory evaluation was significantly different in terms of unique rice flavor, bamboo flavor, color, unique rice taste, bamboo taste, viscosity, hardness, adhesiveness, and coarseness among the control group and the group with 0.2%, 0.3%, and 0.4% of the extract; however, overall acceptancy was not significantly different among the four groups. In conclusion, concerning overall sensory evaluation, cooked rice with 0.2% bamboo leaves (Sasa borealis) extract showed the best result.

This study was conducted to investigate chemical properties of wild $Lactuca$ $indica$ (WL) and cultivated $Lactuca$ $indica$ (CL). The proximate composition, reducing sugar, free amino acids, organic acid, vitamin C, minerals, chlorophyll, and crude saponin were analyzed. WL and CL contained high levels of carbohydrate. The leaves and roots of CL contained higher levels of free amino acid than those of WL. Especially, the proline content of CL leaf was 12 times higher than that of WL leaf, and the arginine content of CL root was 100 times higher than that of WL root. The major organic acid and mineral of $Lactuca$ $indica$ were tartaric acid and potassium, respectively. CL showed significantly higher value of reducing sugar than WL. The vitamin C content of the samples ranged from 0.4 to 24.1 mg%, and CL leaf was the highest amount of vitamin C among the samples. CL leaf had a higher amount of chlorophyll than WL leaf, but WL root contained a higher amount of crude saponin than CL root. As in this study, CL showed better nutritional properties than WL, and these results will provide fundamental data in order to activate the cultivation of wild plants.

This study was conducted to investigate effects of removal levels of leaves of rootstocks on growth and quality of chicon in blanching culture of chicory (Cichorium intybus L.). Most qualities of chicon producted by different length levels of left leaves were not significant difference among treatments in the other's excepted length of chicon was longer in 1cm and 2cm lengths than in 4cm length. Moisture in 4cm length and vitamin C contents of chicon in 1cm length were higher than in the other's. In qualities of chicon producted by different removal levels of outer leaves, flesh and dry weight were heavier in full removal. However length, diameter, hardness of chichon were not appeared significant difference. Vitamin C content was appeared effects of removal of the outer leaves. Accordingly, there was considered additional treatments such as length control and removal of outer leaves with conventional treatment in pre-treatments of rootstocks are not appeared a great effects.

Foliage residue toxicity experiment was performed against honeybee (Apis mellifera) with bifenthrin, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide with strong acute contact toxicity and imidacloprid, a neo-nicotinoid insecticide with strong acute oral toxicity to know the honeybee toxicity at the residue level on the leaves of alfalfa and apple. Also, the formulation differences to honeybee toxicity were investigated with WP (2%) and EC (1%) of bifenthrin and WP (10%) and SL (4%) of imidacloprid. Generally, foliage residual toxicity of honeybee and residual amounts of tested insecticides was higher in alfalfa leaves with large leaf area per unit weight than in apple leaves. While on the other hand, the only bifenthrin WP treatment showed higher honeybee toxicity on apple leaves than alfalfa. Although imidacloprid showed higher residue amounts ranged $4.9{\sim}25.4\;mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ than bifenthrin ranged $0.6{\sim}12.7\;mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ on the leaves, the residual toxicity to honeybee was lower than bifenthrin because of its strong penetration character. In conclusion, the residual toxicity of insecticide to honeybee could be affected by the contact and vaporized toxicity of chemical, the residual amounts on the surface of leaves, and the leaf area per unit weight and formulation differences.

Plants were regenerated from hypocotyl protoplast culture of cabbage (F$_1$hybrid Green Challenger) and were transplanted on fields. The ploidy level of regenerated and seed-grown plants was measured by flow cytometry. In total 125 regenerated plant, diploid (2n), tetraploid(4n), and mixoploid (2n+4n) were 72.8%, 25.6%, and 1.6%, respectively. Most of the regenerated plants had normal phenotype, whereas several plane showed abnormal phenotype such as heavy leaf incision, savoy, and wave. The regenerated plants with abnormal phenotype and different ploidy level were analysed by isozyme and RAPD, but no significant difference was found.

This study was conducted to know the difference of major characteristics between seed and vegetable perilla varieties. Perilla accessions examined were classified into two groups, i.e., seed perillla variety (saeyeopcildeulkkae, yangsandeulkkae, and younghodeulkkae) and vegetable perilla variety (ipdlkkae 1, namcheondeulkkae, and manbaekdeulkkae). The differences of growth characteristics were observed between two types of perilla varieties. The average flowering date of vegetable perilla varieties (Sep. 28) was 23 days later than that of seed perilla varieties (Sep. 5). Also, the stem height and node numbers of vegetable perilla varieties lower than those of seed perilla varieties. The average 1,000-seed weight, yield, and oil content of seed perilla varieties were higher than those of vegetable perilla varieties. However, as leaf characteristic, the leaf yield (1.8 times) and cyanidin content (2.1 times) were greater than in perilla variety for vegetable. No difference was observed in fatty acids composition between two types of perilla varieties. The average total chlorophyll content in leaves of seed perilla varieties was higher than in that of vegetable perilla varieties.

In the study to reduce the error on the method of sampling pine needles to monitor the atmospheric concentration of polychlorinated biphenyls(PBCs),it was found that: 1. Concentration of PCBs almost linearly increased from new to three-years-old pine needles, so that the biomonitoring method using pine needles canbe applied to measuring long-term contamination from air in a local area. Needles of differernt age should not be mixed in sampling but be seperately analysed .It no good idea comparing PCB concentrations of differently aged needles. 2. Concentratio n of PCBs on pine needles had nothing to do whit the indivisual and age of the pine tree. 3. Concentration of PCBs on pine needles growing avobe was lower than that on needke below. 4. Concentration of PCBs on pine needles locatied in poorly ventilative places such as needle of a forest was lower than that on needles in well-ventilated areas.

This paper presents an effective and robust leaf image retrieval system based on shape feature. Specifically, we propose an improved MPP algorithm for more effective representation of leaf images and show a new dynamic matching algorithm that basically revises the Nearest Neighbor search to reduce the matching time. In particular, both leaf shape and leaf arrangement can be sketched in the query for better accuracy and efficiency. In the experiment, we compare our proposed method with other methods including Centroid Contour Distance(CCD), Fourier Descriptor, Curvature Scale Space Descriptor(CSSD), Moment Invariants, and MPP. Experimental results on one thousand leaf images show that our approach achieves a better performance than other methods.

잎의 생태 계절학적 변화는 지상의 탄소/질소 순환에 큰 영향을 미칠 뿐 아니라 토양 수분, 증발산과 같은 물 순환에 중요한 인자로 작용한다. 이를 모의하기 위하여 많은 지면-생태 생태모형들이 개발되어져 왔지만, 자연현상을 충분히 이해하지 못함으로 인하여 모델 결과값과 실제 관측 값에 차이가 발생된다. 이러한 한계점을 해결하기 위하여 실제 모형과 관측되어진 자료를 실시간으로 융합하는 자료동화 기법이 개발되어져 모델들의 오차를 줄여주거나, 실제 모델의 파라미터들을 보정하는데 사용되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지상기후모형인 Community Land Model(CLM)을 기반으로 하여 2003년부터 2010년까지 동아시아지역을 대상으로 연구를 진행하였다. 지면-대기-해양 모델로부터 발생되어진 40개의 앙상블 기상자료를 이용하여 도출된 잎면적 지수와 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS) 잎면적 지수를 실시간으로 융합하는 앙상블 칼만 필터기법을 이용하여 잎면적지수 자료동화가 생태 생태 수문에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 특히 잎면적 지수 자료동화가 동아시아 지역의 가뭄에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 1~3 m 의 토양수분의 변화를 이용하여 가뭄을 정의하였다. 이러한 토양수분 가뭄을 시 공간적으로 나타내어 동아시아지역의 가뭄의 기간, 심도 와 같은 가뭄을 특성을 이해하여 보고자 하였으며, 잎면적 지수 자료동화가 가뭄에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다.
