  • 이 연구는 식물학의 학문분류 체계와 문헌분류 체계를 비교 분석함으로써 식물학의 분류특성과 문제점을 분석하고, 이를 토대로 KDC 식물학의 분류체계를 개선할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 시도되었다. 이 연구결과를 요약하면 아래와 같다. 첫째, 식물학의 학문분류는 주로 식물의 연구대상에 따라 식물 형태학, 식물 생리학, 식물 생태학, 식물 계통학, 식물 유전학, 식물 진화학 등으로 구분하고 있다. 둘째, 식물의 분류는 식물 계통학이라는 하위 분과학문에서 다루고 있으며, Engler 체계 등이 일반화되어 있다. 셋째, 식물학의 문헌분류 체계는 대부분 식물학의 분과학문 위주가 아니라 식물의 분류 위주로 구성되어 있다. 이때 KDC, NDC, UDC, CC에서는 식물분류를 식물의 발달과정 즉, 진화순서에 의해 하등식물에서 고등식물로 배열되어 있는 Engler 체계를 적용하고 있으며, DDC와 LCC는 현존하는 식물에 더 중점을 두고, 고등식물에서 하등식물로 배열되어 있는 Bentham & Hooker 체계와 유사성이 있다. 넷째, KDC 식물학에서 있어서는 DDC나 CC와 같이 일반 식물학에서 다루고 있는 식물의 구조나 속성 등을 482-489에 나열되어 있는 모든 식물에 공통적으로 적용하여 세분할 수 있도록 구조화 하는 것이 바람직할 것이다.

  • Protocol was established for production of virus free healthy seeds using meristem ($0.3-0.5\;\cal{mm}$ in size) culture and field management under net house condition in tomato. The isolated meristem was found well established in MS liquid medium containing $0.1\;\cal{mg}\;1^{-1}\;of\;GA_3$. For shoot and root development either from primary meristem or from nodal segment of meristem derived plants, semisolid MS medium having $0.5\;\cal{mg}\;1^{-1}$ of IBA was found most effective. The elimination of the studied viruses (ToMV, CMV, ToLCV) in meristem-derived plants was confirmed by DAS-ELISA test. For field management of the virus eradicated meristem-derived plants, use of net house was found very effective measures to check viral vector visit and eventually infection. The meristem-derived plants were vigor and high yielder than the native seed derived plants and produced healthy seeds. Due to stop vector visit, no viral symptoms were observed in both $R_1\;and\;R_2$ plants cultivated in net house condition. Starting of viral infestation was observed in $R_2$ generation when they were planted in open house condition without control of vector visit. Therefore, for management of viral diseases, use of virus free meristem derived plantlets and their subsequent cultivation in soil under net house condition without using any vector killing insecticide can be recommended for producing healthy seeds in tomato. The developed protocol for environmentally healthy tomato seed production in Bangladesh may be used in the countries having similar tropical like environment conducive for viral vector visit.

  • Orchids are indispensable to the floriculture industry due to their unique floral organization. The flowers have two outer whorls of tepals including a lip (labellum), and two inner whorls, pollinia and gynostemiun (column). The floral organization and development is controlled at the molecular level, mainly by the MADS-box gene family, comprising homeotic genes divided into type I and type II groups. The type I group has four sub-groups, Mα, Mβ, Mγ, and Mδ, playing roles in seed, embryo, and female reproductive organ development; the type II group genes form classes A, B, C, D, and E, which are a part of the MIKCC subgroup with specific roles in florigenesis and organization. The coordinated functioning of these classes regulates the development of various floral whorls. The availability of genome and transcriptome sequence data for Phalaenopsis equestris offers an opportunity to validate the ABCDE model of flower development. Hence, this study sought to characterize the MADS-box gene family and elucidate of the ABCDE model. A total of 48 identified MADS-box proteins, including 20 type I [Mα (12), Mγ (8)] and 28 type II [MIKCC (27), MIKC*(1)] members, were characterized for physico-chemical features and domains and motifs organization. The exon-intron distribution and the upstream cis-regulatory elements in the promoter regions of MADS-box genes were also analysed. The discrete pace of duplication events in type I and type II genes suggested differential evolutionary constraints between groups. The correlation of spatio-temporal expression pattern with the presence of specific cis-regulatory elements and putative protein-protein interaction within the different classes of MADS-box gene family endorse the ABCDE model of floral development.

  • The present investigation is an attempt to create an optimized protocol for a bactericidal modality of different powers of He-Ne laser radiation to eliminate periodontitis disease causing bacteria from dental plaques. Periodontitis is most prevalent infectious disease of men and caused by a limited number of Gram negative oral bacteria. Porphyromonas gingivalis and Streptococcus sanguis are the important bacteria responsible for periodontitis diseases. Effect on periodontitis disease causing bacteria were produced by the exposure of different powers of He-Ne laser light i.e. 9 mW, 17 mW and 26 mW of red colour of wavelength 632.8 nm in two different periods of time i.e. 10 min. and 20 min. in the presence of dye Methylene blue (MB) used as a photosensitizer. The results have been shown in terms of percentage inhibition of colony forming units (cfu.) of bacteria. This study has shown that maximum inhibition of cfu. were observed in Laser+MB-20 min. exposure time. This inhibition was followed by Laser+MB-10 min., but minimum inhibition was seen in Laser only at 10 min. exposure. In case of effect of methylene alone on the cfu. of bacteria, it was seen that MB have not shown more inhibition of cfu. and it had shown that the no. of cfu. are very similar to that of control. The above observation of the present study was seen in case of every 3 different type of used powers of laser for both the bacteria. Maximum percentage inhibition of cfu. were seen in case of 26mW powers of He-Ne laser, which was 67. 28% to 61.42% for Porphyromonas gingivalis and Streptococcus sanguis respectively. So, increasing the power of laser (safe range for dentistry is 3-30 mW) under conditions shows an increased percentage inhibition of cfu. Thus the present investigation may be a useful adjunct with mechanical debridement in the prevention of recolonization of subgingival lesions by pathogenic microorganisms which are harmful and drug resistant.

  • Background: The most hazardous wastewater sources in the northern part of the Middle Nile Delta, Egypt; receiving a massive amount of agricultural, industrial, and sewage drainage are Kitchener drain which is one of the tallest drainage systems, and Burullus Lake which represents the 2nd largest Egyptian coastal lake. Results: The current work is to determine the abundance and frequency of cyanophytes, chlorophytes, and bacillariophytes and the correlation between them and environmental abiotic components. Among sixty nine microalgal species, 19 species are belong Cyanophyta, 26 belong Chlorophyta and 24 belong Bacillariophyta. Genus Scenedesmus (Chlorophyta) was the most abundant in the study area (13 species), followed by Genus Oscillatoria (9 species) and Genus Navicula (7 species). Nostoc muscorum and Chlorella vulgaris were the most common and recorded in all sites (100% of the locations) under study. The application of the two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN) and detrended correspondence analysis revealed agglomerating of 4 groups (communities) at 4th level of classification and reasonable segregation between these groups. Zinc, cadmium and lead were showed the highest levels (0.26±0.03, 0.26±0.06, and 0.17±0.01 ppm, respectively). Conclusions: The correlation analysis between water and community variables indicated a high negative correlation of total algae richness with nickel (r = -0.936, p < 0.01). Cyanophyta and Bacillariophyta were correlated negatively (r = -0.842, p < 0.01). However, Chlorophyta showed a negative richness with each of Ni and Pb (r = -0.965, -0.873, respectively) on one hand and a high positive correlation was revealed (r = 0.964) with all environmental variables on the other hand.
