As sessile organisms, plants must be able to adapt to the environment. Plants respond to the environment by adjusting their growth and development, which is mediated by sophisticated signaling networks that integrate multiple environmental and endogenous signals. Recently, increasing evidence has shown that a bHLH transcription factor PIF4 plays a major role in the multiple signal integration for plant growth regulation. PIF4 is a positive regulator in cell elongation and its activity is regulated by various environmental signals, including light and temperature, and hormonal signals, including auxin, gibberellic acid and brassinosteroid, both transcriptionally and post-translationally. Moreover, recent studies have shown that the circadian clock and metabolic status regulate endogenous PIF4 level. The PIF4 transcription factor cooperatively regulates the target genes involved in cell elongation with hormone-regulated transcription factors. Therefore, PIF4 is a key integrator of multiple signaling pathways, which optimizes growth in the environment. This review will discuss our current understanding of the PIF4-mediated signaling networks that control plant growth.

This paper aims to identify the most effective mode of development finance flows for the economic growth of middle-income developing and least developed countries, separately. It also attempts to confirm whether governance has any significant role in the causal relationship between development finance flows and economic growth. Policymakers in each developing country should select the most effective modality of development finance inflows among the different modalities (such as Official Development Assistance (ODA) grants, Official Development Assistance (ODA) loans, FDI, and international personal remittances) and expand it for their economic growth. Dynamic panel regression models were used on 48 least developed countries and 89 middle-income developing countries, respectively, during the Millennium Development Era: 2000-2015. The empirical analysis results show that ODA grants and remittances were most effective in promoting economic growth for least developed countries, while FDI was most effective for middle-income developing countries. These findings were not affected by the status of governance of the individual country.

The author has conducted survey on the status of physical growth and morbidity of the children for christian children's fund programme, as a means of collecting basic data for the anticipated establishment of a health planning. A total 345 children aged 9 to 16 underwent C.C.F. programme while as a control, a total of 480 children of same ages from the middle-class school children in Jeonju area was also studied. As results of survey conducted for a period of one month (form July 1 to 31, 1974) on a total 429 children in 347 households living in Jeonju area. I. Socio-economic background 1. By educational status of the children, 39.9 per cent of the total children was attending at primary school, 33.8 per cent in middle school and 15.6 per cent in high school. 2. The greatest proportion or 28.8 per cent of the household head were engaged in labor, 17.9 per cent in peddler and 13.2 per cent in retail. 3. As for the living standard of the households, low class constitued 90.1 per cent, middle and high classes only 9.9 per cent. 4. 39.5 per cent of the households had their own house, 39.1 per cent lived in rent deposit house or rooms and 14.6 per cent in monthly rented house and rooms. II. Physical growth and nutritional status 1. The growth of children for C.C.F. programme in terms of height was found to be slightly smaller than the school children. The ages frm 9 to 16 corespond to the 'secondary growth and replenishment period and this period was regarded to be the one most affected by environmental and nutritional factors of all the other periods of growth and developmet. 2. The body weight of the children for C.C.F. presented a quite different pattern from that of the school children. The above findings appeared thin-and-long stature from the famillies with higher living standard while those from the household with low standard of living had a short-and-plump one. 3. According to the values of Rohrer's index, the children of C.C.F carried a higher degree of 'replenishment' than the children in Jeonju area and adolesecence comes later for the girls under C.C.F. programme. III. Morbidity 1. The monthly prevalence rate was 110.0 per thousand persons for the children under C.C.F. programme. 2. The total number of case was classified by timing of the incidence as follws. 40.0 per cent was constituted by diseases carried over from tile previous month and 60.0 per cent by new incidences. 3. The diseases were broken down by W.H.O. disease classification into the greatest proportion or 39.1 per thousand person constituted by disease of the digestive system.

본 연구는 젊은 성인을 대상으로 운동 목적에 따른 영양섭취 실태를 조사하고자 수행되었다. 규칙적으로 운동하고 있는 20~30대 남녀를 대상으로 운동 목적에 따라 근육증가군 107명과 체중감소군 107명을 나누어 비교 분석하였다. 그룹별 성별구성을 분석한 결과, 근육증가군은 주로 남성(75.2%)이 많은 반면 체중감소군은 여성(74.3%)이 많이 분포하고 있었다. BMI 판정결과 두 그룹간의 유의적인 차이는 없었으며, 체중감소군의 절반 이상(56%)이 저체중 또는 정상체중으로 나타났다. 근육증가군의 하루 운동시간 및 규칙적으로 운동한 기간이 체중감소군에 비하여 유의적으로 많았다(p<0.01). 영양지식의 상태는 근육증가군의 점수가 체중 감소군에 비하여 유의적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 식행동 또한 근육량 증가군의 점수가 체중감소군에 비하여 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 영양섭취 상태를 살펴보면, 한국인영양섭취기준과 비교하였을 때 근육증가군의 에너지 섭취비율이 에너지필요추정량의 83.72%로 체중감소군의 74.53%에 비하여 유의적로 높았다(p<0.01). 권장섭취량에 대한 단백질 섭취비율은 근육증가군이 199.62%, 체중감소군은 136.36%로 나타났으며 근육증가군이 체중감소군에 비해 유의적으로 매우 많은 양을 섭취하고 있었다(p<0.001). 권장섭취량에 대한 칼슘 섭취비율은 근육증가군이 67.75%, 체중감소군은 68.64%로 조사되었으며, 두 군 모두 권장섭취량과 비교하여 매우 부족한 수준으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 본 연구에서는 근육증가를 목적으로 운동하는 경우 과량의 단백질을 섭취하고 있었으며, 체중감소를 목적으로 운동하는 경우 필요량에 미치지 못하는 에너지 섭취를 하는 것으로 나타났다.

Al과 Mn을 여러가지 농도로 조정한 배양액을 채운 포트에 소나무(Pinus densiflora) 2년생 묘목을 이식하여 수경재배법에 의해 90일간 온실내에서 육성한 후 소나무 묘목의 생장, 영양상태 및 가스교환속도에 미치는 Al과 Mn의 영향을 조사하였다. 배양액의 Al농도는 4수준(0, 10, 30, 60ppm)으로 처리하였으며, 이들 각각의 Al처리에 Mn농도를 3수준(0, 30, 60ppm)으로 처리하여 총 12처리구의 2요인배치법(two-factor design)의 실험을 실시하였다. Al과 Mn은 소나무 묘목의 건물생장에 상호작용효과(interaction effects)를 나타내지 않았으나, 소나무 묘목의 건물생장에 대한 Al과 Mn의 각각의 단독영향(main effects)은 유의적인 차이가 나타났다. 소나무 묘목의 건물생장은 Al은 10ppm이상, Mn은 60ppm의 농도에서 생장저하를 초래하였으며, 이는 소나무 묘목의 건물생장에 대한 Al의 독성이 Mn에 비해 클 수 있음을 시사한다. 뿌리의 암호흡속도는 Al의 경우 60ppm에서, Mn의 경우는 30ppm이상의 농도에서 저하하였다. 또한, 크로로필함량에 있어서는 Al의 영향은 인정되지 않았으나, 60ppm의 Mn처리구에서 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 배양액의 Al과 Mn농도가 증가함에 따라서 소나무 묘목의 상대생장율(RGR) 및 순동화율(NAR)이 저하하였으며, 이는 광합성 효율의 감소가 원인으로 생각된다. 비록 본 연구결과는 수경재배법에 의하여 얻어진 결과이지만, 장래 우리나라에서 실제로 발생할 수 있는 산성강하물에 의한 수목피해 예측 및 산성화된 토양의 임지에서도 이와 유사와 현상이 발생될 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.

This study was conducted to find the differences in the physical changes, eating habits and dietary intake by obseity index of sixth grade primary school students is Seoul.The subjests were classified into three groups, an underweight group(90% under, 12l Ug), normal group(between 90-110%, 153, NG), and obese group(110% over, 91, OG) according to WLI(Weight-Length Index)calculated with their present (6th grade) height and weight. The physical growth of the subjects was generally good, although problems of both underweight and obesity were existed together. The mean heigh growth velocity per year, weight growth velocity per year and WLI changes per year of OG were higher than those of the other groups(p〈0.01). The past physical status of the three groups were maintained from 1 st grade to sixth grade, As eating habits and lifestyles, they were not statistically significant but there were some differences among the three groups. More students of the UG disliked a certain food than those of the other groups. UG liked fried or roasted foods more(p〈0.001). NG tended to eat three meals more irregularly. OG tended to have meal times more regularly and do more regular exercise than the other groups. The dietary intakes of three groups were generally good. They were not statically significant among the three groups. With theses difference among the three groups, it is recommended to educate about unbalanced diet for the underweight group, regularity, of meals for the normal group, doing exercise for the obese for the obese group, and increasing Ca and vitamin A intake for most students, As the physical status for th lower grades have been maintained up to the sixth grade, nutrition education programs should be started at the lower grades in the elementary school.

Fertilization increases the crop productivity and produces high quality seedlings for plantation. We quantitatively measured both physical performances and nutrient responses of Fraxinus rhynchophylla, Fraxinus mandshurica, Pinus koraiensis, and Abies holophylla seedlings, which are commercially planted species in Korea, to nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilization. We analyzed the growth performances by using Dickson's quality index (QI) and the nutrient status by using vector diagnosis. Nitrogen or phosphorus treatment increased height and root collar diameter growth of F. rhynchophylla and F. mandshurica, however, did not increase those of P. koraiensis and A. holophylla. The order of QI was N > P > K > control for F. rhynchophylla, P ${\geq}$ N > Control ${\geq}$ P for F. mandshurica, P > Control ${\geq}$ K > N for P. koraiensis and A. holophylla. In F. rhynchophylla, fertilization diluted N concentration in tissues by 5-25% because growth responses were higher than fertilization uptake. P. koraiensis and A. holophylla showed N excess showing "toxic accumulation". F. rhynchophylla and F. mandshurica showed P deficiency with P fertilization, however, P. koraiensis and A. holophylla showed "luxury accumulation". Vector diagnosis indicated that more fertilization was applicable for F. rhynchophylla and F. mandshurica, and high fertilization rates were inefficient for P. koraiensis and A. holophylla. Both QI and vector diagnosis can be applied to verify seedling quality in the light of growth responses and nutrient status in fertilization trials.

Purpose: Vitamin D deficiency is common in Crohn disease (CD). The aim of the study was to examine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and evaluate the association between vitamin D status and growth outcome in Korean pediatric CD patients. Methods: In this retrospective study, 17 children younger than 18 years old diagnosed with CD were enrolled and their serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25[OH]D) was checked between 2011 and 2015. We categorized the patients into two groups, Group 1 and Group 2. Group 1 included patients with serum 25(OH)D levels below 10 ng/mL, and Group 2 was for patients with a 25(OH)D serum levels between 10 ng/mL and 30 ng/mL. The z-scores for height (Htz), weight (Wtz), and body mass index (BMIz) were measured at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. Results: The mean serum 25(OH)D levels of the total 65 CD patients and 17 enrolled patients were $15.64{\pm}6.9ng/mL$ and $13.1{\pm}5.1ng/mL$, respectively. There was no correlation at the beginning of the study between vitamin D level and growth parameters (Htz, Wtz, BMIz) or other variables including laboratory data and Pediatric Crohn Disease Activity Index. The Htz, Wtz, and BMIz in Group 1 showed no significant improvement at 6 months and 12 months follow-up. In Group 2, Wtz and BMIz showed significant improvements sustained until 12 months of follow-up. Htz showed no significant improvement at 6 months but there was significant improvement at 12 months. Conclusion: It seems that baseline vitamin D status affects growth outcome in pediatric CD.
