Carbon biomass of plankton community, Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Chlorophyll a (chl.a) concentration were examined in the SeoNakdong river from January to December in 2014, to assess composition of phyto- and zoo-plankton variation, to certify the correlation between chl.a and TOC and to determine the level of contribution of plankton carbon content to TOC in the reservoir-river ecosystem. The correlation level between TOC and chl.a was low in the year 2014 but exceptionally was highly correlated only during the period with cyanobacterial bloom. The high level of contribution of plankton carbon content to TOC was attributed to cyanobacterial carbon biomass from May to November and to Cladocera carbon biomass from March to May, November and December despite of its low abundance. These results suggest that there were inter-relationships between phytoplankton, zooplankton and TOC and also subtle consistency of their properties through the year. These patterns should be discussed in relation to the physiochemical and biological characteristics of the environment, as well as to allochthonous organic matters from non-point pollution sources.

The effect of sulfite on barley seedlings was investigated through Chl content, the electron transport activity of the photosystem, and Chl fluorescence. Barley leaves were harvested every 12 hrs during greening periods, and were then treated with a sulfite solution in either light or dark conditions. In both cases, the Chl content decreased in comparison with the control at any greening period. After sulfite treatment in the light, the activity of PS I decreased slightly, yet that of PSII showed a decrease of about 15%. The values of Fv, qP and qE decreased, however, the value of ql increased compared with the control. In addition, the value of qE decreased in leaves greened more than 12 hrs compared with that of the control. This indicates that the photosynthetic complex involved in energy dependent fluorescence quenching is undeveloped in a 12 hrs greened leaf, accordingly, it was a hardly affected by sulfite. After sulfite treatment in the dark, the activities of PSII and PSI decreased slightly, there was a small change in the value of Fv, qP decreased, and qE and the ratio of qNP/q increased in comparison with the control. As a result, PSII and PSI were not inhibited, however, the redox of QA was inhibited, and the excited energy was lost through the nonphotochemical pathway. The effects of sulfite in light or dark conditions were not considerably different with the Chl fluorescence quenching analysis method. In both light and dark conditions, the value of qP significantly decreased with sulfite compared to that of the control. This implies that the redox of QA was inhibited by sulfite in both light and dark contions.

To investigate the effects of strong acidic electrolytic water on the chloroplast, barley leaves were treated with strong acidic electrolytic water(pH 2.5). And to investigate the effects of weak acidic electrolytic water on the chloroplast development, etiolated barley leaves were treated with weak acidic electrolytic water(pH 6.5) during greening period. Chl contents, Fo, Fv, and Chl fluorescence quenching coefficient in barley leaves were measured during and after treatment of acidic electrolytic water. The following results were obtained. Chl a, b, and carotenoid were decreased with treatment of strong acidic electrolytic water. Chl contents were significantly decreased than that of the control after 5 min. These results provide evidence that the strong acidic electrolytic water dissimilate the Chl and so that the value of Fo was slightly increased. The strong acidic electrolytic water damaged PS II because Fo was increased and Fv, Fm, and Fv/Fm ratio were decreased. qP, qNP and qE were decreased. On the other hand qI was increased than that of the control. But Chl content and Chl fluorescence patterns were a little changed as the pH increase over 4.0 Chl a, b, and carotenoid were increased with treatment of weak acidic electrolytic water during greening period. Chl contents were significantly increased than that of control after 12 hours greening. These results provide evidence that the weak acidic electrolytic water accelerated the chlorophyll synthesis. And the weak acidic electrolytic water accelerated PS II development because Fv, Fm, qP and Fv/Fm ratio were increased than that of the control.

The disassembly of Chl-protein complexes during dark-induced senescence (DIS) was investigated using detached third and fourthleaves of 21$\pm$1 day-old Arabidopsis thaliana. Although Chl content decreased linearly after 1 d, a significant decrease of photochemical effeciency (Fv/Fm) was observed after 2 d. In experiments using native green gel electrophoresis of Chl-protein complexes combined with additional two-dimensional SDS-PAGE analysis, we could observe the degradation of both photosystems after 2 d. Although light-harvesting complex(LHC) for PSI (LHCI) was degraded first in PSI complex, small PSII apoproteins including CP47/CP43 and D1/D2 apoproteins were degraded first in PSII complexes. LHC for PSII (LHCII) trimers were stable until 4 d. The level of LHCII monomers was increased until 3 and decreased thereafter, resulting in the increase of free pigments. These results suggest that the disassembly process of PSI is different from that of PSII.

The effects on photosynthesis of NaCl(0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 or 1.0 M) were examined in etiolated barley seedlings. Chlorophyll(Chl) a, Chl b and carotenoid contents, Chl a fluorescence and quenching coefficients of Chl fluorescence have been determined in the primary leaves of etiolated barley seedlings cultivated under low light(60 $\mu$㏖ $m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$). Chl a, b, and carotenoid contents were decreased remarkably in comparison with the control at 0.4 M NaCl. However, the value of Fo and Fv were decreased at 0.6 M NaCl and the ratio of Fv/Fm were deceased at 1.0 M NaCl. Chlorophyll synthesis was seriously inhibited from 0.4 M NaCl, and the photosynthetic electron transport system was inhibited from 0.6 M NaCl. Quantum of photosystem II reaction center was inhibited at 1.0 M NaCl. The effects of NaCl on the Chl content were raised in a 6 hrs, but the effects of NaCl on the value of Fo, Fv and Fv/Fm were raised in 30 hrs. The value of qP was decreased in comparison with the control at all concentrations, but there was a small change in the value qE. These results provide evidence that NaCl inhibited effects of various concentration of NaCl were inhibited quinone redox, however, proton gradient between thylakoid membranes was little damaged.

일차생산자의 생물량을 연구하기 위해 천수만에서 1985년 9월부터 1986년 8월까지 월별로 채집된 식물플랑크톤의 체적으로부터 계산한 식물플랑크톤의 탄소량은 $26.7-960.7{\mu}gC/l$의 분포를 보이며 월 평균 탄소량은 $58.6-684.7{\mu}gC/l$(연 평균 $208.5{\mu}gC/l$) 범위의 변화를 보인다. 식물플랑크톤 탄소량과 세포 개체수 및 클로로필 농도의 상호 관계를 분석한 결과, net plankton(> $20{\mu}m$)에서는 탄소량, 개체수 및 클로로필 상호간의 상관 관계가 밀접하게 나타나 이들 상호 관계가 주로 net plankton에 의해 좌우됨을 보여주고 있으며, nanoplankton(< $20{\mu}m$)의 경우, 상관 관계가 낮게 나타났는데 이는 nano-fraction이 제거하지 않은 picoplankton(< $2{\mu}m$)을 상당량 포함하고 있기 때문으로 사료된다. 중회귀 분석 결과 또한 식물플랑크톤 탄소량, 개체수 및 클로로필 상관 관계가 주로 net plankton에 의해 좌우되고 있음을 나타낸다. C/Chl-a 비율은 9.1-100.5의 범위로 변화폭이 큰데 net plankton의 C/Chl-a 평균 비율은 111, nanoplankton의 비율은 6.4로 나타났다. Net plankton의 비율은 높은 시기에는 C/Chl-a값이 높은 반면 nanoplankton비율이 높은 시기에는 기 값이 낮게 나타나는 것으로 보아 C/Chl-a 비율을 변화시키는 주요인은 식물플랑크톤의 크기인 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구 결과 C/Chl-a값의 변화 폭이 크기 때문에 클로로필에 일정 비율을 적용하여 탄소량을 추정하는 방법은 연안생태계에서 적절치 못한 것으로 판단된다.

해수와 담수가 공존하는 시화호 상류 기수역에서 입자성유기물에 대한 조류의 영향을 평가하기 위하여, 2005년과 2006년 3월부터 11월까지 기수역내 7개 지점을 대상으로 입자성유기탄소 (particulate organic carbon; POC), 식물플랑크톤 색소(chlorophyll a; Chl-a), pheophytin a; Pheo-a)의 시공간적 변동과 상관관계를 분석하였다. 조사기간 동안 POC 농도는 $1.0{\sim}76.6mgL^{-1}$ (평균 $7.4mgL^{-1}$)의 범위로 봄에 높은 계절변화를 보였으며, 염분성층이 강하고 고탁도층이 형성되는 중류부에서 높은 값을 보였다. 살아있는 식물플랑크톤의 현존량의 지표로 이용되는 Chl-a 농도는 $1.3{\sim}942.9{\mu}gL^{-1}$ (평균 $71.0{\mu}gL^{-1}$) 범위로 매우 높은 값을 보였고, 4월에 중류부에 최고치를 보여 POC와 유사한 변동을 보였다. 한편 Pheo-a 농도는 $1.4{\sim}1,545.5{\mu}gL^{-1}$ (평균 $59.9{\mu}gL^{-1}$)의 범위로, total Chl-a의 평균 44.2%로 죽거나 활성을 잃은 식물플랑크톤의 양이 많은 것으로 나타났다. POC 농도는 식물플랑크톤 색소와 강한 양의 상관(Chl-a (r=0.93), total Chl-a (r=0.88), >Pheo-a (r=0.81))을 보였는데, 이는 시화호 기수역에서 식물플랑크톤이 POC의 중요한 기원임을 시사한다. 한편 식물플랑크톤 색소와 POC와의 회귀식으로부터 POC/Chl-a 비(82.9)보다 POC/total Chl-a 비(35.9)가 하구에서 조사된 POC/Chl-a 비(40~60)에 더 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 시화호 기수역과 같이 Pheo-a 농도가 높은 수역에서는 조류기원성 POC를 산정하거나 또는 수체의 POC 농도에 대한 식물플랑크톤의 기여도를 평가할 때 Chl-a 농도와 함께 Pheo-a 농도도 함께 고려할 필요가 있다.

내음성정도가 서로 다른 두 수종 먼나무와 붓순나무를 대상으로 높은 광도조건인 자연상태와 낮은 광도 조건인 비음 처리구로 나누어, 두 수종간의 적응 반응을 비교하였다. 두 수종의 묘목을 처리구에서 각각 1년간 비음처리하였을 때, 엽록소함량과 광합성계, 엽육세포내 $CO_2$농도, 수분이용효율의 특성을 조사하였다. 엽록소 함량은 두 수종모두 자연조건(full sunlight)일 때, 비음처리구에 비하여 낮은 엽록소 함량들(Chl a, Chl b, Chl a+b)을 나타냈으며, 붓순나무에서 특히 자연조건과 비음 처리구간의 엽록소 함량의 차이가 크게 나타났다. 한편, 중용수인 먼나무는 PPFD $1000\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ 이상 일 때, 자연조건(full sunlight)에서 높은 광합성율과 높은 수분이용효율을 보였지만, PPFD $1000\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ 이하에서는 비음처리구에서 자연조건에 비해 더 높은 광합성율과, 수분이용효율을 나타냈다. 이에 반해 붓순나무는 모든 광도에서 비음처리를 하지 않은 묘목이 비음처리를 한 묘목에 비해 낮은 광합성율과 수분이용효율을 나타냈다. 먼나무가 탄력적으로 광도변화에 따라 유동성 있는 반응을 보이는 것에 비해 내음성이 강한 붓순나무는 광환경 변화에 따른 민감성이 낮게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Ultrastructural changes in Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer mesophyll chloroplasts and variation of thylakoid membrane protein in responce to the light intensity were studied in leaves of two-y-old plants exposed to two different light intensities under field coditions. The leaves were allowed to function for three months after emergence under two contrasting light conditions. The ginseng chloroplasts of 5% light were filled with highly stacked grana of condensely arrayed thylakoids, so that the stroma space was hardly observed. In contrast, chloroplasts from leaves at 100% sunlight had fewer thylakoid membranes and smaller grana stacks. The number of osmiophilic globules increased. Total Chl content and Chl b content were lower at 100% sunlight than 5% sunlight. The thylakoid membrane proteins in the leaves grown at 100% sunlight showed lower CPIa, LHCII and CP29 than those with 5% sunlight. This effect was most obvious for LHCII. Polypeptides showed major bands at 90, 64, 29-30, 22 and 14 kD, and minor bands at 59, 58, 54, 52, 49, 46, 44, 35, 23, 21 and 18-19 kD. All these bands were lower in intensity in the leaves exposed to 100% sunlight. Moreover, the bands at 58-59, 46-47 and 23 kD disappeared.

Background: Previous numerous studies on watershed scale demonstrated that the constructions of upper dams may influence the below dams due to modifications of flow regime and nutrient inputs. Little is known about how the dam constructions influence the downstream lakes or reservoirs in the regional scale. This study demonstrates how the construction of upper dam (i.e., Yongdam Dam) influences nutrient regime, trophic relations, and empirical models in Daechung Reservoir (DR). Yongdam Dam was constructed at the upstream region of DR in year 2000. Results: The analysis of hydrological variables showed that inflow and discharge in the DR were largely reduced after the year 2000. The construction of upper dam construction also resulted in increases of water temperature, pH and conductivity (as an indicator of ionic content) in the DR. Empirical models of TP-CHL and N:P ratio-CHL suggested that stronger responses of CHL to the phosphorus were evident after the upper dam construction, indicating that algal production at a unit phosphorus increased after the upper dam construction. Mann-Kendall tests on the relations of N:P ratios to TN showed weak or no relations ($t_{au}=-0.143$, z = -0.371, p = 0.7105) before the dam construction, while the relation of N:P ratios to TP showed strong in the periods of before- ($t_{au}=-0714$, z = -2.351, p = 0.0187) and after the construction ($t_{au}=-0.868$, z = -4.270, p = 0.0000). This outcome indicates that TP is key determinant on N:P ratios in the reservoir. Scatter Plots on Trophic State Index Deviations (TSIDs) of "TSI(SD) - TSI(CHL)" against "TSI(TP) - TSI(CHL)" showed that the dominance of clay turbidity or light limitation was evident before the upper dam construction [TSI(TP) - TSI(CHL) > 0 and TSI(SD) - TSI(CHL) > 0] and phosphorus limitation became stronger after the dam construction [(TSI(TP) - TSI(CHL) < 0 and TSI(SD) - TSI(CHL) > 0]. Conclusions: Overall, our analysis suggests that the upper dam construction modified the response of trophic components (phytoplankton) to the nutrients or nutrient ratios through the alteration of flow regime, resulting in modifications of ecological functions and trophic relations in the low trophic levels.
