Comparison of the standard and instruction for grade and quality of landscape plants between Korea and foreign countries indicates that the individual country characteristically develops and uses their own standards for landscape plants. Ultimate aim of these regulations is to develop the standard of landscape plants classified by kinds, types and purposes to improve the quality of landscape plants. This study analyzed the differences of standards and instructions for landscape plants between Korea and other countries such as Germany, Switzerland, America, Canada and Japan. Our results indicated that Korea and Japan used the diameter at 1.2m above from ground surface for the diameter at breast height(DBH) whereas Germany and Switzerland at 1.0m above from ground surface. In case of America and Canada, the standard of landscape plants included crown width, height and DBH of plants. In Germany, the standard for creeping plants and herbaceous flowers was determined by the type and the root size of plants with the standard of containers(seven to eleven types). This research would be helpful for developing the practical and environmentally suitable guideline for the grade and quality of landscape plants and also for developing the standardized distribution structures and cultivation techniques for landscape plants in Korea.

This study was performed to examine the high temperature adaptability with CO₂ treatment for tomato under the condition of greenhouse cultivation during summer season. The indoor condition of CO₂ concentrations were controlled as control, 500 ppm, and 1,000 ppm for the greenhouse with the maximum air temperature of 44℃. With the observation of VPD (vapor pressure deficit) and CWSI (crop water stress index) by leaf-air temperature difference according to CO₂ treatment concentration, the plants with the CO₂ concentration of 1,000 ppm performed less water stress than those with the CO₂ concentrations of control and 500 ppm. The plants without CO₂ treatment performed the severest degree of water stress.

To select the superior strain of Haesongi, Hypsizigus marmoreus, strains were isolated by Di-Mono mating with isolates from different fruit bodies. Three strains were selected to superior isolates that are good mycelial growth on PDA medium for 10days. When cultured on PDA medium for 10 days, strain No. 3 and strain No. 7 showed mycelial growth of 62mm and 58mm, respectively. Mycelial growth was good in the order of strain No. 2, 10, and 9. The three selected strains, KNCAF-H-3, KNCAF-H-7 and KNCAF-H-2, were cultured in sawdust medium for 10 days and showed mycelial growth of 79mm, 76mm and 73mm respectively. The mycelial growth of the selected three cultivars was better than that of Greenpeace No 5, a control cultivar grown at 55mm.

This study aimed to investigate responses of plant growth and photosynthesis to different kinds of covering materials with selective light transmit for red leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Experimental pot design was attached UV blocking filter, red filter, blue filter, and green filter. The kinds of covering materials showed significant results for plant growth especially control, UV blocking filter, and red filter. The photosynthetic rate and anthocyanin content of red leaf lettuce were higher in control and UV blocking filter than others. The quality of red leaf lettuce was low in red, green, and blue film treatments because of too low anthocyanin content.

The identify of biomarkers in living tissues is useful to understand the characteristics and functions of the cells. Proteins such as protein gene product 9.5, promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger, NANOG, and stage-specific embryonic antigen-1 have been identified as markers for porcine undifferentiated spermatogonia. In this study, the expression of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs), a newly discovered porcine spermatogonia marker and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), a protein regulator of IGFBPs, were characterized in 5-day-old porcine testis. To analyze the function of IGFBPs, RT-PCR was performed. IGFBP 2, 3, 4, and 6 were detected in porcine spermatogonia and PAPP-A was detected in basement regions in 5day old porcine seminiferous tubules. PAPP-A was not expressed in spermatogonia, but it was expressed in Sertoli cells. These results suggest that the expression of PAPP-A protein in Sertoli cells may regulate the development and differentiation of testicular cells through the IGF axis in porcine neonatal testis.

The study consisted of a survey of the residential satisfaction level of the 3rd grade students and a survey of accessibility from farms for practical field training to public facilities. According to the geographical location of the farms on the map, the average distance to facilities related to convenience or safety and health that students complained was about 12km. And that to social and public facilities was about 4.4km. Students pointed out the convenience of using transportation, commercial and convenient facilities, and the safety of anti-crime security facilities as complaints during the practice session. Residential satisfaction levels in five realms, such as facility and structure, convenience, safety, comfort and sociality, were not all reached at the satisfaction level. In particular, the satisfaction level of female students was sub-normal in the safety and convenience realms. The average satisfaction levels reviewed by department were sub-normal for horse industry and floriculture departments. By residential patterns, satisfaction with sharing with the farmers was higher than with other patterns. And satisfaction level by housing structure was much lower in the assembly and container structures Since residential satisfaction level is determined by the inside and outside environment of the dwelling, college should provide students with accurate and vivid data using information communication technologies.

We assessed the physical habitats of Microphysogobio longidorsalis in the Han river basin. Field monitoring was conducted for ecological and habitat conditions for 11 sites from October 2008 to November 2011. Twenty species (50.0%) including M. longidorsalis and Zacco koreanus were found endemic out of the 40 species in 10 families sampled during this study period. The most frequently found species was Z. platypus (26.2%) followed by Z. koreanus (17.7%), Coreoleuciscus splendidus (14.0%) and M. longidorsalis (13.4%). For M. longidorsalis, total fist length showing the highest number of samples were 8~10 cm (50.9%). the favored habitat conditions were estimated to be 0.4~0.5 m (56.1%) for water depth, 0.2~0.9 m/s (90.4%) for flow velocity, sand (0.1~1.0 mm)~cobbles (100.0~300.0 mm)(94.5%) for substrate size and run (60.2%) for habitat type, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the performance of the fig farms based on the survey data. The survey of 12 farms was conducted during the period from August to September. The result shows that the productivities of land and the productivities of labor of the developed nutriculture farms are higher than those from traditional conventional culture farms and nutriculture farms. Incomes of the developed nutriculture farms are also higher.
