In this study, the contents of dust and associated heavy metals on roadside plants were investigated to assess their foliar transfer. The study was conducted at six different locations (four roadside and two industrial) near an industrial area in Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh), India. Six metals (Fe, Mn, Pb, Cu, Cr, and Cd) were examined in this study. The concentrations of heavy metals in foliar dust were found to be in the order of Fe>Mn>Pb>Cu>Cr>Cd. However, this relative order changed in the case of leaf concentrations to Fe>Mn>Cd>Cu>Pb>Cr. The metal concentrations in the dust and leaves can be attributed mainly to industrial and vehicular emissions. In contrast to other metals, Cd showed significant accumulation in the leaves compared to the respective dust samples. This study showed different patterns in the distributions of heavy metals between the dust deposited on the leaves and the metal accumulated in the leaves. These results suggest that the dust retention and heavy metal accumulation in native plant species should be explored in an attempt to manage these hazardous metallic elements.

The contribution of plant nutrition status in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) plant to the nutrient acquisition by extraradical hyphae of AM fungi was investigated using cucumber colonized with Glomus intraradicies (BEG 110) focusing on the Zn. Compartmentalized pots with separated Bones for hyphal growth were used to determine the contribution of extraradical AM hyphae to Zn uptake from hyphal zones. $0.5\;{\mu}M$ Zn was supplied into the hyphal zones as nutrient solution (10 mL/day) with a form of $ZnSO_4$. Zn foliar application was made two times for one week before harvest (8 mL/plant). The colonization rate by AM were high in all of Zn treatments. The dry weight of cucumber increased by AM colonization compared to those of non-mycorrhizal counterpart. However: Zn foliar application resulted in no significant difference in dry weight between mycorrhizal- and non-mycorrhizal plant. In addition, the enhancement of Zn content in cucumber shoot by AM colonization were also reduced by Zn foliar application. These results indicate that the interaction between host plant and AM fungus for nutrient uptake might be related to plant nutritional status and nutrient contents. In consequence, higher Zn contents in host plant by foliar application of Zn could restrict the role of extraradical hyphae of AM fungus on the Zn acquisition and transfer from fungus to host plant.

시설 토마토 과실의 상품성을 향상시키기 위하여 칼륨 엽면처리 농도 및 시기를 분석한 결과, 0.5% 칼륨 엽면처리구에서 과중이 $200{\sim}400g$인 상품과 비율이 75.5%로 대조구에 비해 29.5%증가하였다. 처리시기는 착과기가 가장 좋았는데, 착과기에 0.5% 칼륨를 엽면처리하면 상품과 비율이 대조구에 비해 5.9% 증가하였고 상품수량은 10% 증가하였다.

Plant tissue culture techniques offer quick methods of regeneration of plants of medicinal importance but the survival chances of such plants are always questionable when shifted to the in vivo conditions. The present study enumerates the micromorphological developments in the leaves of in vitro regenerated and field transferred plantlets of Oldenlandia umbellata. The leaves developed in vitro after $4^{th}$ subcultures of multiplication phase and after 6 weeks of field transferred plants were used. Statistically significant differences in the number of stomata, veins, raphides, crystals and trichome density per square mm were observed. The improvements in stomatal apparatus and density (decreased from 41.85 to 32.20), developments in leaf architectural parameters and emergence of defense mechanism through increased numbers of raphides (8 to 15), crystals and trichomes (13.5 to 18.2) proved acclimation of tissue culture raised plantlets from in vitro to the in vivo environments lead to 100 % success in field establishment of the plantlets. The in vitro induced foliar abnormalities (changes in stomata, venation pattern, vein density, trichomes, crystals etc.) were repaired while hardening of plantlets in the greenhouse and finally in the field. The observed micromorphological response of leaves under altered environmental conditions could help in determination of proper stage of field transfer and prediction of survival percentage of in vitro regenerated O. umbellata plantlets.

This study was conducted in an industrial city (Bilaspur) representative of subtropical area in central India. In order to assess the metal deposition on plant, concentrations of six target metals (i.e., Fe, Mn, Pb, Cu, Cd, and Cr) in both plant leaf and dust (deposited on its surface) samples were measured from six different sites. Metal concentrations in dust samples were found on the order of Fe>Mn> Cr>Pb>Cu>Cd. In contrast, the concentration of metals in plant leaves were seen on the order of Fe>Mn>Cr>Cd>Cu>Pb. As such, Cd showed significantly high concentration in leaves relative to their corresponding dust samples. A high accumulation potential for Fe and Cd was seen from Butea monosperma, while Mn and Pb were accumulated noticeably in Pongamia pinnata and Butea monosperma. Likewise, Cr and Cu were enriched in Calotropis procera, Alstonia scholaris, and Butea monosperma. The overall results of our study suggest that the foliar uptake pattern should vary considerably by an interactive role between plant and metal types.

동적섭식경로모델 DYNACON에 대한 입력변수의 민감도 분석을 장반감기 핵종 $(^{137}Cs,\;^{90}Sr)$에 대해 침적시점의 함수로 평가하였다. 또한 장, 단기간 음식물 (곡류, 엽채류, 우유) 오염에 대한 입력변수의 영향이 고찰되었다. 입력변수는 LHS 기법으로 표본 추출되었으며, 민감도 지수는 PRCC로 나타냈다. 핵종과 음식물의 종류에 따른 민감도 지수는 침적시점 뿐 아니라 장, 단기간 오염에 있어서도 뚜렷이 다르게 나타났다. 작물의 성장기 침적의 경우 장, 단기간 오염 모두 잎흡수에 의한 오염 관련변수가 중요하였다. 또한 작물의 비성장기 침적의 경우 단기간 오염에 있어서도 잎흡수에 의한 오염 관련변수가 중요하였다. 장기간 오염의 경우 잎흡수에 의한 오염 관련변수의 영향은 줄고 뿌리흡수에 의한 오염 관련변수의 영향이 증가하였다. 특히 이러한 현상은 작물의 성장기 침적에 비해 비성장기 침적의 경우에, $^{l37}Cs$ 침적에 비해 $^{90}Sr$ 침적의 경우에 보다 뚜렷하였다. 목초의 성장기 침적의 경우 우유로의 핵종 전달계수, 젖소의 일일 목초 섭취량과 같은 가축 특성 관련변수가 상대적으로 우유의 오염에 중요한 입력변수로 나타났다.
