The multifunctional triple gene block protein 1 (TGB1) of the Potexvirus Alternanthera mosaic virus (AltMV) has been reported to have silencing suppressor, cell-to-cell movement, and helicase functions. Yeast two hybrid screening using an Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA library with TGB1 as bait, and co-purification with TGB1 inclusion bodies identified several host proteins which interact with AltMV TGB1. Host protein interactions with TGB1 were confirmed by biomolecular fluorescence complementation, which showed positive TGB1 interaction with mitochondrial ATP synthase delta' chain subunit (ATP synthase delta'), light harvesting chlorophyll-protein complex I subunit A4 (LHCA4), chlorophyll a/b binding protein 1 (LHB1B2), chloroplast-localized IscA-like protein (ATCPISCA), and chloroplast ${\beta}$-ATPase. However, chloroplast ${\beta}$-ATPase interacts only with $TGB1_{L88}$, and not with weak silencing suppressor $TGB1_{L88}$. This selective interaction indicates that chloroplast ${\beta}$-ATPase is not required for AltMV movement and replication; however, TRV silencing of chloroplast ${\beta}$-ATPase in Nicotiana benthamiana induced severe tissue necrosis when plants were infected by AltMV $TGB1_{L88}$ but not AltMV $TGB1_{L88}$, suggesting that ${\beta}$-ATPase selectively responded to $TGB1_{L88}$ to induce defense responses.

Three-week old Commelina communis was transferred and grown in Hoagland solution containing $100{\mu}M\;Cd^{2+},\;100{\mu}M\;Cd^{2+}+100{\mu}M\;kinetin,\;100{\mu}M\;Cd^{2+}+100{\mu}M\;zeatin\;and\;100{\mu}M\;Cd^{2+},\;200{\mu}M$ zeatin for 7 days, and then a number of physiological activities were investigated. In control, the length of the stem of plants was increased to 4.7cm, but in $Cd^{2+},\;Cd^{2+}+kinetin,\; Cd^{2+}+100{\mu}M\;zeatin\;and\;Cd^{2+}+200{\mu}M$ zeatin treatments, the growth of plants were increased to 1.5cm, 2.1cm, 3.9cm and 4.3 em, respectively. In the treatments of $Cd^{2+},\;Cd^{2+}+kinetin,\;Cd^{2+}+100{\mu}M\;zeatin\;and\; Cd^{2+}+200{\mu}M$ zeatin, total chlorophyll contents were reduced to $26\%,\;24\%,\;15\%\;and\;3\%$, respectively, on the contrast to the control. In chlorophyll fluorescence experiments, Fv/Fm ratios were also reduced to $44\%,\;21\%,\;17\%\;and\;5\%$ in the light intensity of $2100{\mu}Mmole\;E\;m^{-2}s^{-1}\;by\;Cd^{2+},\;Cd^{2+}+kinetin,\;Cd^{2+}+$100{\mu}M\;zeatin\;and\;Cd^{2+}+200{\mu}M$ zeatin treatments on the contrast to the control. Water stresses were increased to 2.6, 1.7 and 1.2 times by $Cd^{2+},\; Cd^{2+}+kinetin\;and\;Cd^{2+}+{\mu}M$ zeatin. On the other hand, combination of $Cd^{2+}+200{\mu}M$ zeatin reduced water stress to $0.12\%$. In $Cd^{2+}$ accumulation experiments $Cd^{2+}$transports were inhibited to $33\%\; 48\%\;and\;70\%\;by\;Cd^{2+}+kinetin,\;Cd^{2+}+100{\mu}M\;zeatin\;and\;Cd^{2+}+200{\mu}M$ zeatin. Therefore, it could be concluded that zeatin clearly reduced the toxicities of $Cd^{2+}$ by reducing the absorption of $Cd^{2+}$.

Microalgae using a submersible fluorescence probe in water column (up to 100 m) were measured during the austral summer of 2006 (February) in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica (triangular-shaped embayment in the Indian sector of Southern Ocean). Concurrently, environmental parameters such as temperature, salinity and nitrogen (nitrate, ammonium, urea) uptake rates were measured. The concentration of phytoplankton is relatively high due to availability of high nutrients and low sea surface temperature. Phytoplankton community is dominated by diatoms whereas cryptophytes are in low concentration. The maximum concentration of total chlorophyll is 14.87 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ and is attributed to upwelled subsurface winter water due to local wind forcing, availability of micro-nutrients and increased attenuation of photosynthetically available radiation (PAR). Concentration of blue-green algae is low compared to that of green algae because of low temperature. Comparatively high concentration of yellow substances is due to the influence of Antarctic melt-water whereas cryptophytes are low due to high salinity and mixed water column. Varied concentrations of phytoplankton at different times of Fluoroprobe measurements suggest that the coastal waters of Prydz Bay are influenced by changing sub-surface water temperature and salinity due to subsurface upwelling induced by local winds as also melting/freezing processes in late summer. The productivity is high in coastal water due to the input of macro as well as micro-nutrients.

환경 조건의 변화는 식물의 물과 양분 흡수 및 광합성 정도를 변화시켜 결과적으로 식물 생육에 영향을 미친다. 변화하는 환경 조건에서 식물의 생리적 반응은 식물 줄기에 전극을 삽입해 식물유도 전기신호(PIES)로 비파괴적으로 모니터링할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 CO₂ 증가와 광합성 광량자속밀도 PPFD 감소에 따른 식물의 반응으로 PIES를 모니터링하는 것이다. PIES는 증산과 광합성이 일어나는 낮에 증가하였고 식물 생육 기간 동안 모니터링한 CO₂ 농도는 PIES와 음의 상관관계를 보였다. CO₂ 농도 증가는 PIES를 약간 감소시켰으나 PIES에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았으며 이는 CO₂ 증가의 효과가 낮은 PPFD에 의해 제한되었기 때문으로 판단된다. PPFD 감소의 효과는 물과 양분 흡수가 광에 의해 즉각적으로 영향을 받지 않았기 때문에 즉시 나타나지는 않았다. 본 연구는 CO₂ 증가와 PPFD 감소에 의한 식물의 단기적 반응을 평가하고자 한 것이며 프롤린 함량 및 엽록소 형광은 환경 변화에 따라 유의하게 변화하지는 않았다.

Germanium dioxide ($GeO_2$) has been used for many years in the cultivation of red and green algae as a means of controlling the growth of diatoms. Brown algae are sensitive to $GeO_2$, however, the basis of this sensitivity has not been characterized. Here we use embryos of $Fucus$ $vesiculosus$ to investigate morphological and physiological impacts of $GeO_2$ toxicity. Morphometric features of embryos were measured microscopically, and physiological features were determined using pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometry. At 5 mg $L^{-1}$ $GeO_2$, embryos grew slower than controls and developed growth abnormalities. After 24 h, initial zygote divisions were often oblique rather than transverse. Rhizoids had inflated tips in $GeO_2$ and were less branched, and apical hairs were deformed, with irregularly aligned, spheroidal cells. Minimum fluorescence ($F_0$) showed minor differences over the 10 days experiment, and pigment levels (chlorophylls $a$, $c$ and total carotenoids) showed no difference after 10 days. Optimum quantum yield increased from ca. 0.52 at 24 h to 0.67 at 5 days, and $GeO_2$-treated embryos had higher mean values (significant at 3 and 5 days). Optimum quantum yield of photosystem II (${\Phi}_{PSII}$) was stable in control thalli after 5 days, but declined significantly in $GeO_2$. Addition of silica (as $SiO_2$) did not reverse the effects of $GeO_2$. These results suggest that $GeO_2$ toxicity in brown algae is associated with negative impacts at the cytological level rather than metabolic impacts associated with photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis uses light energy to drive the oxidation of water at an oxygen-evolving catalytic site within photosystem II (PSII). Chlorophyll binding by the photosystem II subunit S protein, PsbS, was found to be necessary for energy-dependent quenching (qE), the major energy-dependent component of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) in Arabidopsis thaliana. It is proposed that PsbS acts as a trigger of the conformational change that leads to the establishment of nonphotochemical quenching. However, the exact structure and function of PsbS in PSII are still unknown. Here, we clone and express the recombinant PsbS gene from Arabidopsis thaliana in E. coli and purify the resulting homogeneous protein. We used various biochemical and biophysical techniques to elucidate PsbS structure and function, including circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence, and DSC. The protein shows optimal stability at $4^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.5. The CD spectra of PsbS show that the conformational changes of the protein were strongly dependent on pH conditions. The CD curve for PsbS at pH 10.5 curve had the deepest negative peak and the peak of PsbS at pH 4.5 was the least negative. The fluorescence emission spectrum of the purified PsbS protein was also measured, and the ${\lambda}_{max}$ was found to be at 328 nm. PsbS revealed some structural changes under varying temperature and oxygen gas condition.

This study examined the de-icing agents' stresses on Pinus strobus and Pinus thunbergii by chlorophyll fluorescence analysis. The assumption of this study was that photosynthetic efficiency was changed by de-icing agents applied onto highways in winter by altering the concentration of the de-icier, types of de-icer and leaf surface coating liquid application. The practical purpose of this study was to investigate the de-icing gents stresses on Pinus strobus by the highway area where de-icing agents were used frequently and to discover out minimizing stratages to prevent further damages. or this simulation study, a sample plot was established in Bogae-myeon, Anseong, Gyeonggi-do and Pinus strobus and Pinus thunbergii were planted for the examination in April, 2005. Five types of de-icing agents - NaCl, $CaCl_2$, T product(NS40:low cWoride de-icer type), NaCl+$CaCl_2$ and T product+$CaCl_2$ - were selected and the their concentration was altered to 0%, 5%, and 9%. Five types of de-icing agents were applied to both trees treated by a leaf surface coating liquid and trees not treated by leaf surface coating liquid. For the fluorescence analysis, the leaf surface coating liquid, which was diluted by 10 times, was sprkinkled onto the two tree species three days prior to gathering samples. Sample leaves from the two tree species were gathered at 10 o'clock in the morning of mid-August, 2006 and brought to the laboratory within three hours to be dipped in different concentrations (0%, 5%, or 9%) of the five de-icing agents for two minutes. Then the eaves were placed on the filter paper dipped in each solution on a petri dish, sealed with polyethylene film and kept in a growth chamber at $22^{\circ}C$ for 72 hours. Out of the growth chamber, the leaves were treated with a chorophyll fluorescence reaction analyzer for 30 minutes to measure the initial light acceptance rate(Fo), maximum light acceptance ate(Fv/Fm), light acceptance usage(F' q/F' m) and optical electron delivery coefficient(qP). As a result, Pinus strobus' initial light acceptance rate(Fo) decreased as T product and NaCl increased in concentration, and $Cal_2$ did not reduce much with the eaf surface coating liquid application. Maximum light acceptance rate(Fv/Fm) and light acceptance usage(F' q/F' m) decreased sharply as T product and NaCl increased in concentration and NaCl+$CaCl_2$ and T product+$CaCl_2$ did not reduce much with leaf surface coating liquid application. Optical electrons delivery coefficient (qP) decreased as T product increased in concentration on trees without the leaf surface coating liquid application and all other de-icing agents did not show much reduction. As for Pinus thunbergii, the initial light acceptance rate(Fo) decreased as T product increased in concentration, but the maximum light acceptance rate(Fv/Fm) was not reduced much by changes in concentration. light acceptance usage(F' q/F' m) decreased as NaCl increased in concentration and optical electron delivery coefficient(qP) decreased as NaCl increased in concentration in both with and without leaf surface coating liquid application. In conclusion, it was possible to plant Pinus strobus if spraying leaf surface coating liquid or cleaning deicing salt to prevent the damage caused by deicing agents was more economical than replacing the trees. If not, it was better to plant Pinus thunbergii. Another way to decrease the deicing gents stresses of landscape plants would be planting the trees further away from the roads even though it might take longer period to display its planting functions.

본 연구는 C$_3$식물인 닭의장풀과 CAM식물인 돌나물이 수분스트레스에 대해 어떠한 생리적인 반응의 차이를 보이는가를 살펴본 것이다. 식물은 정상적인 환경 조건하에서 보여주는 대표적인 특징은 생장이다. 닭의장풀은 수분스트레스에 처해졌을 때 생장이 거의 멈추었으나 돌나물은 생장에 커다란 영향을 받지 못하였다. 닭의장풀의 수분함유량의 변화는 3주 째 12% 감소하였다. 수분 함유량의 변화는 식물의 고사와 밀접하게 관련되어 있다. 돌나물의 수분함유량의 변화는 거의 없었다. 이는 돌나물은 수분스트레스에 대한 저항 반응을 보여주었으나 닭의장풀은 그렇지 못했다는 것을 의미한다. 이어진 실험에서도 비슷한 양상이 나타났다. 엽록소 함량의 변화, 광합성 II의 활성을 나타내는 형광 Fv/Fm 비율수치는 닭의장풀에서 심각한 감소가 일어났다. 아울러 기공의 형태적인 특성과 생리적인 반응도 두 종이 다른 양상을 보여주었다. 따라서 돌나물은 수분스트레스에 대한 저항 능력을 가지고 있으나 닭의장풀은 수분 스트레스에 취약했다. 수분 스트레스 전 닭의장풀의 수분 함유량은 돌나물보다 약 6% 많으며, 생장률이 매우 빠르며 열매를 맺는다. 반면에 돌나물은 생장이 느리며, 줄기의 길이 증가도 닭의장풀에 비해 작았다. 잘 성숙된 닭의장풀은 키가 1m에 이르는 것도 있으나, 돌나물은 포복경의 특성으로 인해, 실제 줄기의 생장은 30cm를 넘지 못한다.

본 연구에서는 시비 처리에 따른 생육상토의 화학적 특성, 생장 특성 및 생리적 특성 변화를 조사 분석하여 최소 시비량에 대한 최대 생장 효과와 적정 시비 방법 적용에 따른 환경오염의 최소화를 목적으로 연구를 실시하였다. 시비 처리에 따른 생육 상토의 화학적 특성은 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 pH의 경우 유의적 차이를 보였는데 시비량이 적은 Exponential 처리구에서 산성도는 가장 낮고, 시비량이 높은 Constant와 Three stage 처리에서 산성도가 높아, 시비에 따른 산성화가 진행되었음을 짐작할 수 있다. 시비 처리에 따른 근원경과 간장 생장은 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 세 시비 처리구 모두에서 낙엽송 용기묘 규격 이상의 우수한 생장을 나타냈다. H/D율과 T/R율은 Exponential 처리구에서 가장 낮은 값을 보였으며, 반면 물질생산량과 묘목품질지수는 Constant 처리구가 높은 값을 나타냈다. 시비 처리에 따른 광화학 효율과 엽록소 함량은 Constant 처리구에서 높았지만, 세 처리구 모두 유의적 차이는 보이지 않았다. 본 연구 결과를 종합해 보면, 시비량을 생장에 따라 조절함으로써 시비량을 줄이면서 동시에 비슷한 생장 및 생리적 반응을 보임을 알 수 있었다. Exponential 처리구는 50% 시비량으로 생장, 묘목품질지수 및 생리적특성에서큰차이를 보이지 않았으며, 규격묘 생산이 가능했다. 이는 낙엽송 용기묘 100만본 생산 시 비료량을 약 200kg 이상 줄일 수 있는 것으로, 시설양묘과정에서 다른 시비 방법에 비해 경제적인 효과를 얻을 수 있음과 동시에 양묘장 토양 및 계류수의 오염을 줄이면서 비슷한 생장을 유지할 수 있다. 즉, Exponential 시비 방법은 생산 비용을 줄이면서 비슷한 생장 효과 얻어 경제적이면서 친환경적 시비방법이라 판단된다.
