It was previously reported that cobalt(II) effectively suppresses the postharvest gravitropic response of snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus L.) (Kim et al. (1997) Agric. Chem. and Biotechnol. 40, 567-571). In this study, several factors affecting the suppression of the gravitropic response by cobalt ion were examined. When flower stalks of snapdragon were pretreated with several different cobalt salts, cobalt nitrate turned out to be the most effective not only in reducing the response but also in preserving the flower quality. We also tested the effects of various detergents which were added to cobalt(II) solution, finding that Tween-40 was the best among the tested with respect to the effectiveness as well as the flower quality. Based on these results, we optimized a protocol for the chemical treatment; that is, a suppressor solution containing 10 mM $CO(NO_3)_2$ and 0.05% Tween-40 was directly sprayed on the gravitropically sensitive region of cut flowers of snapdragon. The suppressor treatment gave rise to a significantly improved results when the flower stalks were stored at a lower temperature after the chemical treatment.

A new cultivar $Dendranthema$ $grandiflourm$ 'Dream Water' was developed at Gyeonggi-do Agricultural Research & Extension Services, Korea in 2009. The cultivar 'Dream Water' was initially derived from the cross in 2005 between 'Patra', a spray chrysanthemum cultivar with yellow single type, and 'Ruces', a spray chrysanthemum cultivar with white single type. The cultivar has single type with ivory petals. Trial evaluation was conducted from 2006 to 2009 for selection of this variety, including a shading culture in spring and a retarding culture in summer. The flowering time of 'Dream Water' was October 24th, and year-round flowering is possible by shading or lighting treatment. The diameter of the flower is 56.0 mm. Number of flowers per stem and petals per flower are 11.1 and 26.8, respectively. Its leaf color was green (Green Group 147A) and plant height was 89.7 cm.

This study was carried out to obtain information about the valuable combination and concentration to produce good plants of cut gerbera flowers of 19 domestically - bred gerbera cultivars. BA and kinetin combination is more effective than NAA and BA combination to produce good plants and mass propagation of domestically - bredgerbera cultivars. Normally almost of 19 cultivars, mass propagation was more effective on the medium containing 1.0 mg/L BA + 0.5, 1.0 mg/L kinetin. But some cultivars, 'Sunnyeo', 'Oksaem','Piny', and 'Pink Light', vitrified plants were induced on MS medium high level of BA concentration(BA 1.0 mg/L), in comparison with those on the medium with low level of BA(0.1 mg/L).Fresh and dry weight, more effective on the medium containing BA 0.5 mg/L . Kinetin 0.1, 0.5 mg/L. Anatomical investigation of vitrified leaf, stomata of vitrified leaves were circular and inflated, where-as those of normal leaves.

This experiment has been carried out to determine optimal culture conditions for the production of cut flowers and tubers of Calla (Zantedeschia 'Golden Affair' and 'Black Magic') in highlands. Treatments consisted of various levels of root zone environments, Results are as follows: Calla 'Golden Affair' were grown with different mulching materials such as Non-mulching, Black film, reflective film, Rice hull. Mulching materials resulted in no difference in the number of cut flowers but flower length was highest in reflective film. Calla 'Black Magic' were treated with various soil water content, soil type and watering time. Number of cut flowers and flower quality were greatest when the plants were watered at -80 kPa soil water content. No symptoms of soft rot (Erwinia carotovora) was observed at this soil water content. The occurrence of soft rot was observed with similar percentage according to soil type and the soil water content. When Calla 'Black Magic' were watered at the time of soil surface drying, growth was greater compared to others. Air temperature and PPF affected plant growth and photosynthesis. Photosynthetic rate was greatest at $25^{\circ}C$ and PPF $200{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, while lowest at $28^{\circ}C$ and PPF $800{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Soft rot did not occur without regard to dipping treatment (0, 5, 10, 24, 48 hours) when the day and night temperature were maintained at $25^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$, respectively.

This paper presents a new forward-viewing mono-camera based obstacle detection algorithm for mobile robots. The proposed method extracts the coarse location of an obstacle in an image using inverse perspective mapping technique from sequential images. In the next step, graph-cut based image labeling is conducted for estimating the exact obstacle boundary. The graph-cut based labeling algorithm labels the image pixels as either obstacle or floor as the final outcome. Experiments are performed to verify the obstacle detection performance of the developed algorithm in several examples, including a book, box, towel, and flower pot. The low illumination condition, low color contrast between floor and obstacle, and floor pattern cases are also tested.

This study aims to expand the scope of use for relics by applying the patterns and characteristics of embroidered fabric pieces, such as gold foil, excavated from the Mireuksa Temple Site in Iksan for fashion products. The artifact was a ra decorated with flower and vine patterns, embroidery using gold and red thread, and the unique stitching of Baekje. The pattern was reconstructed, as the embroidery was not well-preserved. This study used two types of gold-foil techniques: laser-cut and stone-stamp gold foil. Considering practicality, the gloss, toughness, custom production possibility, and design implementation were emphasized. The form of the laser-cut gold foil could be transformed; however, a recognition problem with the machine increased the thickness of the stitching. It was used for half-finished goods and commercial casual fashion. The stone-stamp gold foil was finely implemented, but the design was difficult to change. It was used for half-finished silk fabric for making hanbok po and lattice-patterned silk skirts. Applying the developed gold foil to suitable clothing can further enhance the effect.

During summer in Korea, the excessively high temperature causes growth retardation and quality reduction in cut roses grown in greenhouse. Mist treatments were conducted to reduce the temperature and avoid quality reduction of cut roses. The temperature change in the greenhouse, growth and quality of cut roses, and injuries caused by insects or fungi were investigated during mist treatment. Daily maximum temperature reduced as the number of mist treatment increased, resulting in $6^{\circ}C$ reduction by mist treatment for 10 seconds at 5 min interval. This temperature reduction occurred only when maximum temperature was over $40^{\circ}C$ in greenhouse, and not when it was less than $40^{\circ}C$ or rainy and/or cloudy day. Plant height and fresh weight of the cut roses were increased at the range of 10-20% by mist treatment. As frequency of mist treatment increased, however, malformed flowers increased and vase life of cut rose was largely shortened. The injuries by insects like as beet armyworm larvae and scale insect increased as well. In conclusion, it is recommended that mist treatment must be used when the daily maximum temperature in a green house is over $40^{\circ}C$ and forecasting for disease or insects should be conducted as well.

This research was conducted to figure out the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene, one of inhibitors of ethylene on the vase life of cut alstroemeria 'Alpine', snapdragon 'Fuji no Yuki', dahlia 'Toast, and lily 'Georgia'. Four kinds of cut flowers were treated with 250, 500, and 750 ppb of 1-MCP respectively for 12 hours. In case of cut alstroemeria, no significant difference was found between the untreated control and the treated ones in the days to flowering. The vase life in the treated ones, however, was extended for over two days, and the treated one with 250 ppb had the longest record with 17.1 days. In every treated ones of cut snapdragon, the remaining florets was more than that of the untreated control. The vase life showed, however, no difference. With the 1-MCP treatment, the vase life of cut dahlia was longer about two days than that of the untreated control. However, water uptake showed the opposite result. The vase life of cut lily showed no significant differences in all treatments. In case of water absorption, the treated one with 750 ppb uptaken more water by 3 ml.
