  • Spatial and temporal distribution of Bacillus licheniformis N1 was investigated over time on the leaves, petioles and crowns of the strawberry plants. Bacterial population on the strawberry plants was quantified over time by selective plating. Bacterial population of N1 containing a plasmid pWH43G carrying green fluorescent protein (GFP) declined relatively faster on the plant surface as compared to the Strain N1 itself. However, this result was found to be enough to utilize the strain to visualize bacterial colonization on the plant surface. When B. licheniformis N1 was treated together with Silwet L-77 at 0.03%, the bacterial population on plant surface persisted for up to 7 days. B. licheniformis N1 (pWH43G) containing Silwet L-77 was applied on the strawberry plants and the GFP expressing bacteria were visualized by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Bacterial persistence was also investigated in a growth chamber and in a plastic house after N1 bioformulation treatment on the strawberry plant. The Strain N1 colonized three different tissues well and persisted over 3 to 5 days on the strawberry plants. They formed bacterial aggregates on plant surfaces for at least 3 days, resulting in a biofilm to resist fluctuating plant surface environment. However, the bacterial persistence dramatically declined after 7 days in all tested tissues in a plastic house. This study suggest that B. licheniformis N1 colonizes the strawberry plant surface and persists for a long time in a controlled growth chamber, while it can not persist over 7 days on the plant surface in a plastic house.

  • The population status of Hydrangea luteovenosa Koidz. in Korea was investigated, with an emphasis on its genetic diversity. From field surveys, we obtained the only locality record for a wild population in Jeju Island, which contained 285 individuals in total. Genotyping was performed using five microsatellite markers for the all extant plants in Korea. Three Japanese populations were also genotyped for the comparative analyses. The genotyping result showed that the Jeju population consisted of only two multilocus genotypes, including identical heterozygous genotypes at two loci; it had been maintained mostly by vegetative reproduction; and although the Jeju population is geographically far from Japanese populations, all alleles observed in the Korean population were shared with Japanese populations, suggesting the possibility that H. luteovenosa in the Jeju Island had been recently migrated or introduced from Japan. Future ecological and genetic studies associated with negative effects of low genetic variation will be essential for determining the conservation direction of the threatened Korean population of this species.

  • 광릉요강꽃(Cypripedium japonicum Thunb.)은 한국, 중국, 일본에 분포하는 동아시아 특산식물로, 지구 수준의 IUCN Red List "위기(Endangered, EN)"로 평가되며, 한국의 국가 Red List에서는 "멸종위기(Critically Endangered, CR)"에 포함된다. 본 연구는 광릉요강꽃 자생지에서 7년 동안 수행된 개체통계학적(demographic) 모니터링 자료를 바탕으로 개체군 구조 및 변화양상을 분석하고, 개체군의 지속성에 대하여 예측하였다. 광릉요강꽃은 국내 7개 지역(포천, 가평, 화천, 춘천, 영동, 무주, 광양)에서 자생지가 관찰되었고, 15개 아개체군에 4,356개체가 생육하는 것으로 확인되었다. 개체군 크기 및 구조는 지역별로 상이하였으며, 인위적 관리가 개체군 크기 및 구조 변화에 중요한 영향을 미치고 있었다. 7년 동안 개체 수 변화를 모니터링한 결과 광릉요강꽃의 개체군 생존력(Population Viability Analysis, PVA)은 지역별로 다양한 경향을 보였다: 향후 1세기 안에 멸절할 가능성은 포천 0.00%, 광양 10.90%, 춘천 24.05%, 화천 79.50%로 예측되었다. 모니터링이 수행된 위 연구지역은 현지 내 보호시설로 인위적 출입을 제한하고 있어 광릉요강꽃의 최대 위협요인인 인위적 남획 변수가 개체군 생존력에 반영되지 않았다. 즉, 실질적인 멸절 위험도는 본 연구에서 추정된 값보다 현저하게 클 것으로 예상된다. 국내 광릉요강꽃 개체군의 멸절위험도의 객관적 판단을 위해서는 향후 다양한 위협요인이 있는 여러 지역의 개체군 정보가 반영될 필요가 있으며, 국내·외로 광릉요강꽃 개체군에 대한 개체통계학적 모니터링을 확대해 나가야 할 것이다.

  • Bupleurum latissimum is a narrowly endemic and endangered plant, restricted to only two small populations on steep cliffs of a small island, Ulleung Island, in Korea. The genetic diversity and population differentiation in the two remnant populations of the species were investigated using RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) analysis. The Neis gene diversities were 0.146 in the smaller population of 45 individuals, and 0.151 in the larger population of 61 individuals. The genetic variation was not significantly different between these two populations. Genetic diversity within populations was not low considering the very small size of populations. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed higher variation within populations (65.9%) than genetic differentiation between them (34.1%). B. latissimum revealed higher population differentiation than other outbreeding species. The differentiation of the populations corresponded to low gene flow (Nem = 0.482). The cluster and principal coordination analyses provide strong support for high population differentiation, showing that all individuals of the two populations have built up population-specific clusters. Although gene flow between the two populations of B. latissimum was limited, they have preserved relatively high levels of genetic variation.

  • The effect of five plant population densities [5 (D$_1$), 10 (D$_2$), 20 (D$_3$), 30 (D$_4$), and 40 (D$_{5}$) plants/m$^2$] of four groundnut cultivars [ICGV 86699, ICG (FDRS) 10, ICGS 11 and TMV 2] and fungicide application (Kavach, chlorothalonil) to manage late leaf spot (LLS) and rust were studied in a field experiment during the 1995 and 1996 rainy seasons. LLS and rust severities were low in fungicide sprayed plots in all the cultivars irrespective of plant densities. Severities of LLS and rust, and percentage defoliation caused by LLS were significantly more in higher plant densities (D$_4$, D$_{5}$) than in lower plant densities (D$_1$, D$_2$, D$_3$) in fungicide sprayed and unsprayed plots in all the cultivars. All the cultivars gave significantly higher haulm and pod yields in fungicide sprayed plots than in unsprayed plots. Haulm and pod yields were significantly higher in higher plant densities than in lower plant densities. A combination of higher plant densities (D$_4$, D$_{5}$) and fungicide protection against LLS and rust gave maximum yield.yield.

  • Maize is the dominant cereal crop produced in the US. One of the main fungal pathogens of maize is Fusarium verticillioides, the causative agent of ear and stalk rots. Significantly, the fungus produces a group of mycotoxins - fumonisins - on infested kernels, which have been linked to various illnesses in humans and animals. Nonetheless, durable resistance against F. verticillioides in maize is not currently available. In Texas, over 2.1 million acres of maize are vulnerable to fumonisin contamination, but understanding of the distribution of toxigenic F. verticillioides in maize-producing areas is currently lacking. Our goal was to investigate the genetic variability of F. verticillioides in Texas with an emphasis on fumonisin trait and geographical distribution. A total of 164 F. verticillioides cultures were isolated from 65 maize-producing counties. DNA from each isolate was extracted and analyzed by PCR for the presence of FUM1- a key fumonisin biosynthesis gene - and mating type genes. Results showed that all isolates are in fact F. verticillioides capable of producing fumonisins with a 1:1 mating-type gene ratio in the population. To further study the genetic diversity of the population, isolates were analyzed using RAPD fingerprinting. Polymorphic markers were identified and the analysis showed no clear correlation between the RAPD profile of the isolates and their corresponding geographical origin. Our data suggest the toxigenic F. verticillioides population in Texas is widely distributed wherever maize is grown. We also hypothesize that the population is fluid, with active movement and genetic recombination occurring in the field.

  • 일복내에서의 인삼의 생육실태를 파악하기 위하여 3~5년근의 경 및 엽의 건물중, 엽면적과 동지수(LAI), 비엽중(SLW) 등의 수직분포 및 조도의 변화를 재식위치별로 조사하였다. 1. 3년근에서 조도는 지상 10cm 정도에서 가장 낮았고 후행일수록 낮았다. 2. 3년근 엽면적은 상의 가운데 $\frac{1}[3}$부분이 넓었고 비엽중은 수광량이 많은 곳일수록 높았으나 엽면적 지수는 행별로 큰 차이가 없었다. 3. 4년근에서는 3년근보다 광환경이 악화되었고 엽면적 및 동지수는 행별 차이가 현저했다. 4. 5년근에서는 통로부분의 엽량이 많아진 것 외에는 대체적인 경향이 4년근과 비슷하였다. 5. 경엽의 건물중은 고년근일수록 현저히 증대되었고 잎의 건물중은 보다 상층에 분포하였다.
