  • Asexual spores of Mycosphaerella nawae were profusely produced on PDA after a prolonged incubation at $25^{\circ}C$ for 90 days. When persimmon trees were artificially inoculated by the conidial suspension, typical symptoms of circular leaf spot of persimmon appeared on the leaves two month later. The imperfect stag of the fungus was identified as Ramularia sp. based on following morphological characteristics examined under a light microscope and a scanning electron microscope. Conidia were mostly ellipsoid, but occasionally cylindrical, elongated oval, taro, peanut or gourd shapes and measured as 12.2~32.6$\times$6.1~10.2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. erect, hyaline, colorless-light brown. Conidia were formed solitarily or in chains on a medium and infected leaves. Conidiophore was erect, hyaline, colorless-light brown. and the size was 20.4~102.0$\times$3.1~10.2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, respectively. In this paper, we firstly demonstratrated that asexual spores of M. nawae induced persimmon circular leaf spot in nature as well as sexual spores of the fungus. Therefore, it is hypothesized that the imperfect stage of the fungus plays an important role in nature for epidemics as secondary inoculum.

  • The effects of ascorbic acid, thiols such as cysteine, n-acetyl-ι-cyteine, glutathione, thiourea, 2-mercaptoethanol and dithiotreithol and organic acids such as magic acid, citric acid, glycolic acid, taurine and kojic acid on polyphenol oxidate (PPO) activity were studied in order to establish if it reacts with oxidized product and/or directly inhibits the enzyme. To investigate the mechanism, the quantification of t-butylcatechol and 4-methylcatechol (phenolic compounds) as substates, their oxidized product and sulphydryl colorless additional compounds were determined by high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) method. Chromatographic results indicate that ascorbic acid, organic acids and lower level of cysteine reduced oxidized product of substrates back to their respective positions uf ο-diphenols. On the other hand, other thiols and high level of cysteine reacted with oxidative product of ο-diphenols and then produced sulphydryl colorless compounds. Cysteine apperars to have two types of mechanism of actions in the formation of oxidative products of substrates depending on its concentration; ascorbic acid-type and other thiols-types. The effect of ascorbic acid with thiols on polyphenol oxidase was determined by same method. Chromatographic results indicate that ascorbic acid was more reactive with oxidized product of substrates than thiols.

  • Gemological and spectroscopic properties of HPHT synthetic diamonds from New Diamond Technology (NDT) company in St. Petersburg (Russia) were examined. Their color (colorless, near-colorless with some boron and Fancy blue with high boron content) and clarity ($VVS-SI_1$) grades were comparable to those of top natural diamonds. NDT synthetic diamonds fluoresced and phosphoresced blue or orange under SWUV light. Photoluminescence spectra revealed H3 center with very small intensity and NV centers. The intensity of H3 in NDT synthetic diamond has very weak in comparison with natural one. Using a combination of gemological and spectroscopic tests, gem-quality synthetic diamonds from NDT can be distinguished from natural diamonds of similar quality.

  • Maize seed pigmentation is one of the important issue to develop maize seed breeding. The differently gene expression was characterized and compared for three inbred lines, such as the pigment accumulated seed (CM22) and non-pigmented seed (CM5 and CM19) at 10 days after pollination. We obtained a total of 63,870, 82,496, and 54,555 contigs by de novo assembly to identify gene expression in the CM22, CM5, and CM19, respectably. In differentially expressed gene analysis, it was revealed that 7,044 genes were differentially expressed by at least two-fold, with 4,067 upregulated in colored maize inbred lines and 2,977 upregulated in colorless maize inbred lines. Of them,18 genes were included to the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathways, while 15 genes were upregulated in both CM22/5 and CM22/19. Additionally, 37 genes were detected in the metabolic pathway concern to the seed pigmentation by BINs analysis using MAPMAN software. Finally, these differently expressed genes may aid in the research on seed pigmentation in maize breeding programs.

  • Commercial edible soybean oil was introduced into plastic containers. Colorless transparent (control), red transparent, green transparent cellophane films and, also, colorless transparent cellophane films coated respectively with Cemedine C, Cemedine C containing 10% pyridine, benzophenone, and p-aminobenzoic acid were prepared, and the % transmittance of each film to lights at U.V. and visible regions were measured. The containers were covered with the films and irradiated simultaneously with direct sunlight for 4.5 hours daily. The peroxide values of the oils in the plastic containers were determined at regular intervals. The effects of the Alms on the PV development of the oils were compared with that of the control, i.e., the colorless transparent films.The red and green films showed strong retarding effects ell the PV development. The red films showed a slightly stronger effect than the green ones. The colorless transparent films coated with Cemedine C showed an appreciable retarding effect. The films had absorbed the lights at the U.V. and visible regions considerably. The pyridine and benzophenone coated films lost their retarding effects after 10 and 4 days respectively. The p- aminobenzoic acid coated films showed a considerable retarding effect throughout the experimental period. The films had absorbed the lights strongly .As a whole, the retarding effects of the films on the PV development were, in decreasing order. as follows; Red> Green> p-Aminobenzoic acid coated > Cemedine Ccoated) Control > Pyridine coated > Benz ophenone coated

  • In the result of effect on freezing damage reduction by the shade net colors and the shade rate to tea trees during wintering period, the high shade ratio decreased tea trees growth and increased freezing damage and 55% of shade ratio based on non treatment developed new leafs and green leaf productivity. By the shade net colors, colorless shade net (55% of shade type) treatment and green shade net treatment increased green leaf productivity and decreased damaged area compare to non treatment shade net and black shade net treatment. Colorless net shade treatment reduced over 50% of freezing damage and increased (10a) 68 kg for green leaf productivity compare to non treatment shade net. The colors of shade net treatments for reduction freezing damaged in order of Black < Green < Colorless but reduction of freezing damage was so high. In the relative microclimates, treatment shade nets were $0.7^{\circ}C$ lower, average relatively humidity 14.9% higher, soil temperature $0.6^{\circ}C$ lower and soil moisture 4.6% higher than non treatment shade net. And treatment shade nets decreased average wind speed 0.7 m/s and it showed us treatment net shades effected to excessive evapotranspiration and soil dry by wind and considered one of good solution for freezing damages.

  • The purpose of this study was to verify human physiological responses to emotional lighting system using LED (light emitting diode) flat lighting. Subjects were ten males in their twenties without medical history to eyes. Colors of LED lighting are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and colorless (white). They were stimulated by LED lighting for 5 minutes. We measured body temperature, heart rate variability (HRV) and electroencephalogram (EEG) before and after color stimulus. In case of EEG analysis, relative power ${\alpha}$ wave ratio decreased in the groups of colorless, red and orange color light. Also, sympathetic nerve was more activated than parasympathetic nerve and the body temperature was increased in the groups of colorless, red, orange, yellow color light. On the other hand, relative power ${\alpha}$ wave ratio increased and parasympathetic nerve was more activated than sympathetic nerve and the body temperature was decreased in the groups of green, blue and purple color light. The results imply that the LED color lighting system in the realistic experiment environment. In the future, studies with compounded both colors and modes according to situation or auditory as nature sound or olfactory as aroma will be required.
