  • Characteristics of seed and plant growth of the nine local collections of the medicinal plant, Agastache rugosa were evaluated. Seed size of the collection from Garyungsan was larger than the others. Seeds of Damyang collection were the smallest in size. Seeds of the collections were mostly oval shaped. There were no differences between brown and black seed coat color groups in seed width, ratio of seed length to seed width and 1,000 seed weight. Stem lengths of Garyungsan and Bongpyung collections were 99.9 and 95.6 cm, respectively, and were longer than Damyang and Jindo collections. Garyungsan collection had long leaf shape. Leaf size was the smallest for Damyang collection, but was the largest for Bongpyung collection. Inflorescence length of Mokpo collection (15.6 cm) was longer than the average over all collections (12.3 cm). Damyang collection was the shortest (10.1 cm) in inflorescence. Top dry weight of each collection from Soonchun, Bongpyung, Mokpo, Jindo, and Gurye was greater than the average over all collections (20.38 g/plant). Jinju and Damyang collections had less top dry matter than others. There was no difference in the growth traits examined between brown and black seed coat groups. The brown seed group was greater in leaf weight than the black seed group. However, these two groups were not different in stem and inflorescence weight. Collections of A. rugosa from Bongpyung, Soonchun, and Mokpo were promising for commercial cultivation because of their great top dry weight, especially in leaf and inflorescence.

  • Leaf characteristics of two representative deciduous-tree species in Korean peninsula were compared to assess directional ridge effect on leaf traits of both species. Leaf mass per unit area (LMA) of Rhododendron schilippenbachii in south-facing ridge slope was significantly higher than that in north-facing ridge slope, while Quercus mongolica did not change LMA. Leaf mass of Q. mongolica was increased depending on leaf size irrespective of slope. However, leaf mass of R. schilippenbachii changed differently in responding to expansion of leaf area between both slopes resulting from retardation of leaf expansion in south-facing slope. R. schilippenbachii showed higher leaf nitrogen concentration per unit area (LNCA) in south-facing slope than that in north-facing slope, while Q. mongolica indicated no difference in LNCA between southand north-facing slopes. However, both species revealed no significant difference in leaf nitrogen concentration per unit mass (LNCM) between south- and north-facing slopes. LNCA of Q. mongolica was about two times higher than that of R. schilippenbachii. These results indicate that there is a difference in leaf characteristics including leaf thickness and nitrogen allocation between Q. mongolica and R. schilippenbachii, suggesting the difference of plasticity.

  • I. 목적 : Primus의 Multi Leaf Collimator는 X측이 29쌍으로 이루어 져 있으며 그중27쌍의 leaf은 1cm이고 2쌍은 6.5cm의 leaf으로 구성되어있다. 이러한 이유로 Paraaortic node를 포함하는 자궁경부암 치료시 현재는 Y가 27cm 이상인 경우는 차폐블럭을 제작하여 치료를 시행하나 차폐 블럭의 제작에 따른 업무의 지연과 차폐 블럭이 무거워져 치료시 환자에게 떨어질 위험을 제거 하기 위해 Asymmetric Field로 Multi Leaf Collimator를 사용한 결과를 보고하고자 한다. II. 재료 및 방법 : 모의 치료(Ximatron, Varian, USA)시 $Y_1$측을 15cm을 기준으로 하여 $Y_2$측을 변경하면서 Field size를 결정한다. ($Y_2$측은 20cm가 최대, 즉 Y측은 35cm까지 적용) 이러한 방법으로 Multi Leaf Collimator를 사용한 환자와 기존의 차폐블럭을 제작하여 치료한 환자와의 업무 개선사항을 확인하기 위하여 실제 공작실 업무 담당자의 블럭 제작 시간과 Beam Shaper를 이 용해 Multi Leaf Collimator를 입력하는 시간을 상호 비교하여 단축된 시간을 조사하였다. III. 결과 : 차폐블럭을 대신해 Multi Leaf Collimator를 이용함으로써 치료실에서 환자에 대한 위험요소(차폐블럭이 무겁다)를 사전에 제거 할 수 있었고 공작실에서 블럭 제작 시간과 LANTIS를 이용해 MLC를 입력하는 시간을 실측 한 결과업무의 시간이 120분에서 5분으로 단축되는 효과가 있었다. 전산화 계획 실에서 선량 계산시 OAR Factor값을 고려하여야 한다. IV. 결론 : Paraaortic node를 포함한 자궁경부암 환자의 차폐부위는 모양이 거의 일직선이기 때문에 Mu]ti Leaf Collimator를 사용하기에 용이 한 치료 부위이다. 하지만 큰 Field size로 인한 불편함이 있었다. 이러한 제 약성을 Asymmetric Field를 이용해서 Multi Leaf Collimator의 사용을 가능하게 하고 차폐 블록의 제작과정과 치료 시에 발생되는 근무자의 업무의 손실을 줄이고 환자에 대한 위험성 을 해결하였다.

  • The Precesses for leaf development in dicotyledonous plants are surprisingly complex, while the mechanism of controlling and coordinating them is poorly understood. To characterize the fundamental features of the leaf development of Arabidopsis, we first attempted to isolate mutants that alter leaf morphology. Here, leaf morphological mutant of Arabidopsis, lanceolatal (lan1) which has small and narrow leaves have isolated and characterized. To clarify the function of LAN1 in organ development, we characterized lan1-7 mutant using an anatomical and genetic approach. The lan1-7 mutant had reduced size of foliage leaves and reduced dimensions of stems. A reduction both in cell size and in cell number was evident at the cellular level in the lan1 mutant, revealing that LAN1 gene appears to affect cell division at an earlier stage and cell elongation throughout the development of leaf primordia. from the analysis of heterogeneous plant with lan1 mutation and 35S-AG transgenic plant, AG gene is revealed to regulate leaf morphology under the control of 35S promoter. Thus, MADS-box gene was revealed to have some relationship to that of LAN1 gene at certain stage in leaf development processes.

  • Leaf spots were first observed on watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad) under polyethylene film-covered green-house in November 2002. Symptoms appeared as dark-brown circles or large irregular spots on the leaves of watermelon. Occasionally, zonal growth of the lesions was observed. Under humid conditions, small black sclerotium-like bodies (sporodochia) were produced on the surface of the lesions. The sporodochia on leaf lesions were sessile, polymorphic, variable in size, 35-850 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter, and 30-470 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in depth. Conidia in sporodochium were black in mass, one-celled, rod-shaped, with rounded ends, hyaline, guttulate, and measured 6-8$\times$1.6-2.2 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in size. The pathogen was identified as Myrothecium roridum Tode ex Fr. This is the first report of Myrothecium leaf spot on watermelon naturally occurring in commercial greenhouses.

  • The anatomical characteristics of rhizome, lateral root, stem, leaf, petiole, ovary and leaf epidermis about Atractylodes japonica Koidz. ex Kitam. and A. macrocephala Koidz. were investigated to estimate these taxonomic values. The cross sections of stem and ovary were very similar to two species, therefore these characters were not useful for delimitation of two species, but the size and distribution numbers per 100${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$^2$of oil cavites in rhizome, the shape of leaf and petiole in cross section, the size of leaf epidermal cell and distribution numbers per 100 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$^2$of stomata were differ from two species, therefore these were thought to be useful characters for delimitation of two species.

  • Twenty-two isolates of Sclerotium rolfsii causing spotted leaf rot from Varanasi, India were grown on 6% Cyperus rotundus rhizome meal agar (CRMA) medium for the induction of athelial stage (Athelia rolfsii). Only one isolate obtained from Sphaeranthus indicus formed basidial stage on CRMA medium while the other 21 isolates did not. Basidial stage was also produced in S. indicus isolate at different concentrations (5.5, 6.0 and 6.5% w/v) of CRMA medium. Size of basidia, sterigmata and basidiospores of this isolate was measured. Basidia clavate, hyaline and measured $10{\sim}12{\times}4{\sim}5\;{\mu}m$ in size, basidiospores hyaline, unicellular, subglobose to ellipsoid produced on sterigmata and measured $3{\sim}5{\times}2{\sim}4\;{\mu}m$ in size, sterigmata hyaline and measured $4{\sim}5{\times}1.5{\sim}2\;{\mu}m$ in size. The results of the present study revealed wide variation in spotted leaf rot isolates of S. rolfsii. A reddish zone around the colony of S. rolfsii isolate from Vernonia sp. was observed on CRMA medium. HPLC analysis of the zone revealed the presence of gallic and ferulic acid which were also thought to be responsible for reduced mycelial growth of the isolate on CRMA medium.

  • In this study, the effect of specimen size and layer thickness on the sound absorption of the leaves of two evergreen broad-leaved tree species, Dendropanax morbiferus and Fatsia japonica, was investigated. The specimen sizes of 0.5 × 0.5, 1.0 × 1.0, and 2.0 × 2.0 ㎠ and layer thicknesses of 1.00, 1.75, and 2.50 cm were considered. At the layer thickness of 2.5 cm, the leaf of the D. morbiferus showed no significant difference in sound absorption coefficients (SACs) as the sample size varied, however, a significant change in SACs was recorded in that of the F. japonica. At 1.0-cm thickness, the SACs of the F. japonica leaf varied more remarkably with the sample size. The 2.50-cm-thick F. japonica leaf with the specimen size 0.5 × 0.5 ㎠ exhibited the highest sound absorption effect among all samples investigated.

  • This study was conducted to provide basic data for productivity of Saururus chinensis Baill. depending on rhizome size. The kinds of the treatment were 4 including below 5mm of rhizome size. Major results were summarized as follows. Sprouting was earlier in above 9mm of rhizome size and the number of last sprouting was increased $84{\sim}109%$ compared with 8.0 $individual/m^2$ of 6mm of rhizome size. Growth of stem showed a good tendency in 6mm of rhizome size with the longer stem length and the thicker stem but the number of tiller was more rhizome was more thicker. Though the number of commercial leaf was more above 9mm of rhizome size leaf length, leaf width and the number of noncommercial leaf did not showed difference by rhizome size. Dry weight of commercial foliar in 9mm of rhizome size over was increased $35{\sim}37%$ compared with 6mm of rhizome size. Therefore, rhizomes size above 9mm showed most effective for increasing sprout and wight of stem and leaves of Saururus chinensis.

  • Adventitious buds appeared within 2 weeks on the base of the petiole explants and increased for two months. A maximum of regeneration (15.6%) was obtained on the medium containing $1.5\;{\mu}M$ TDZ in combination with $1\;{\mu}M$ IBA. To know which explants are the best for the induction of regeneration, three explants such as leaf, petiole and leaf-petiole were used. Among the explant types, the leaf-petiole explant was significantly more effective than leaf and petiole for promoting adventitious shoots, with leaf-petiole inducing at the highest regeneration frequency (33.7%). The regeneration frequency of adventitious shoots in the leaf-petiole explants was significantly affected by leaf size and the position of explants. The leaf-petiole smaller than 5 mm leaf in width was induced at the highest regeneration frequency (68.9%). The smaller leaf sizes, the greater regeneration frequency. Also when the leaves are nearer to the shoot tip, the regeneration frequency is higher. When the rooted micro-shoots were transferred to the soil after growing for 6 weeks in the media, the survival rate was 90%.
