The test of germination has been used as a good indicator to assess the toxicity of chemicals to plant. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of PAHs, anthracene and phenanthrene, on germination ratio, germination index and germination time of barley, tall fescue and alfafa. Anthracene and phenathrene induced to decrease the seedling length and increase the germination time of the experimental plants. But they did not affect the maximum germination ratio. While it was not correlated between seedling length and final germination ratio, it was shown a close relationship between seedling length and mean germination time of the plants. These results suggested that the mean of germination time and seedling growth could be useful to exmine the phyto -toxicological effect of PAHs. The mixture of anthracene and phenanthrene was examined to investigate the combined effect on seedling length; the mixture induced the reduction of seedling. This was meant that the mixture toxicity of PAHs might be not shown in the sum of each chemical toxicity.

원예용 병해충 방제약제로 등록되어 있는 79종과 농약보조제 4종의 농약에 대하여 콜레마니진디벌 (Aphidius colemani) 성충에 대한 독성을 조사한 결과, $\alpha$-cypermeth.in 외 5종의 살충제와, metalaxyl-M+mancozeb 외 12종의 살균제, bifenazate외 3종의 살비제가 독성이 낮았다. 그리고 농약보조제는 모두 낮은 독성을 보였다. 50%이상의 살충률을 보였던 40종의 약제에 대하여 잔류독성 평가를 수행한 결과, 11종의 약제가 처리 3일 이후에 콜레마니진디벌 성충에 안전하였고, 5일 이후에는 7종,그리고 처리 7일 이후에는 14종에 대하여 낮은 독성을 나타냈다. 그러나 chlorpyrifos-methyl, diflubenzuron+chlorpyrifos, etofenprox+diazinone, imidachloprid+chlorpyrifos 4종에 대해서는 7일차 이후에도 각각 100%, 97.7%, 100%, 100%의 높은 살충율을 보였다. 온실에서 콜레마니진디벌에 의한 복숭아혹진딧물의 방레효과를 조사하기 위하여, 복숭아혹진딧물의 밀도가 주당 50마리 일 때, 콜레마니진디벌을 50:1과 100:1의 비율로 방사하였다. 방사 후 진딧물 밀도가 크게 증가하지 않고, 20일차까지 지속적으로 60마리 수준으로 유지되었다. 조사기간 동안 흰가루병과 총채벌레 방제약제를 함께 처리하였으나, 콜레마니진디벌의 머미(mummy)형성에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 시설원예에서 콜레마니진디벌에 안전한 선택약제와 콜레마니진디벌을 함께 이용할 경우 효과적인 진딧물 방제가 가능할 것이다.

Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai is a deciduous shrub of a flowering plant in Oleaceae. It is an important plant resource and consists of only one species in the entire world. A. distichum Nakai is well known an edible, medicinal herb in its habitat districts, but the toxicological evaluation for the safe use of its extract is still insufficient. The study characterized the toxicity of an Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai ethanol extract in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and determined the safe dosage levels in a 13 weeks toxicity study. Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai ethanol extract was orally administered once daily for 2 weeks at 0, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 mg/kg/day to male and female SD rats. while recording the clinical signs of toxicity, body weight, food intake/consumption, eye test and urine analysis. Only the total protein frequency in the urine of male SD rats (p<0.05), the right ovary of the 500 mg/kg group (p<0.01) and the right adrenal gland of the 1,000 mg/kg group (p<0.05) in the female rats showed statistically significant changes. But no toxic effects were noted from repeated-dose administration of the Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai ethanol extract in the SD rats during the observation period. The post-mortem examinations showed no test substance-mediated changes. The hematological analysis and clinical blood chemistry data demonstrated no toxic effects from repeated-dose administration of Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai ethanol extract in the SD rats during the observation period. Based on these results, this data suggests that a dose of 1,000 mg/kg/day is a highest treatment to administer when conducting a further 13 weeks toxicity study.

The toxicity of red mud (RM) pellets for water purification was evaluated using Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata and Daphnia magna in a lab-scale experiment. According to the algal growth inhibition test, both specific growth rates and relative growth rates of P. subcapitata decreased, and the growth inhibition rates increased ($R^2=0.97$, p<0.001) as the concentration of RM pellets in the aqueous solution increased (>1.6 g/L). Also, based on the acute toxicity evaluation test on D. magna, toxic unit (TU) values ranged between 0.00 and 2.83, and increased with an increase in the concentration of RM pellets in the aqueous solution. A correlation analysis indicated that the pH of RM pellets was statistically correlated with TU values ($R^2=0.77$, p=0.02). The environmental implication from this study is that the concentration of RM pellets in an aqueous solution needs to be lower than 4.4 g/L to keep the maximum permissible TU value less than 1.0.

본 연구에서는, 20종의 식물정유를 이용하여 점박이응애 성충에 대한 살비활성 및 기피활성을 확인하였다. 살비활성 평가에서는 샌달우드 오일이, 기피활성 평가에서는 클라리 세이지 오일이 가장 높은 효과를 나타내었고, 평가에 사용한 20종의 식물정유간에는 살비활성과 기피활성간의 상관관계가 매우 낮게 나타났다. 높은 활성을 나타낸 정유들의 혼합시험에서는, 거의 대부분의 조합이 서로간에 저해효과를 갖는 것으로 확인되었다. 샌달우드 및 클라리 세이지 오일의 구성성분은 GC/MS 분석을 통해 확인하였으며, 샌달우드는 세스퀴터펜류가, 클라리 세이지 오일은 모노터펜류가 주종을 이루었다. 클라리세이지 오일의 구성성분 중에서는 linalyl acetate가 가장 높은 함량을 갖고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 해당정유가 기피효과를 갖는 주된 효능물질임을 확인하였다.

Toxicity of the fungicide Flutolanil was in vitro tested against 20 isolates of Macrophomina phaseolina and cotton seedlings of ten commercial cotton cultivars. The isolates were recovered from roots of cotton plants obtained from different cotton-growing areas in Egypt. Most of the tested isolates were sensitive to Flutolanil; however, they varied in sensitivity. Twenty-five percent of the isolates were highly sensitive where $IC_{50}$ ranged from < 1 to $5.1{\mu}g/ml$, 20% of the isolates were sensitive where $IC_{50}$ ranged from 15 to $30{\mu}g/ml$, 45% of the isolates were moderately sensitive where $IC_{50}$ ranged from 46 to $58.5{\mu}g/ml$, and 10% of the isolates were not much sensitive (tolerant) where $IC_{50}$ was > $100{\mu}g/ml$. Flutolanil was very safe on both shoots and roots of the tested cultivars ($IC_{50}\;>\;100{\mu}g/ml$). Treating cotton seeds with Flutolanil resulted in highly significant (P < 0.01) reductions in pathogenicity of 18 isolates and a significant reduction (P < 0.05) in pathogenicity of isolate $M_{29}.\;M_{1}$ was the only isolate, which was insensitive to the application of Flutolanil. In vivo toxicity to Flutolanil was not correlated with its in vitro toxicity. However, a highly significant correlation (r = 0.60, P < 0.01) was observed between pathogenicity of isolates and the in vivo toxicity of the fungicide.

The present study describes the ameliorating effect of $Ca^{++}\;on\;Cd^{++}$ toxicity on the germination, early growth of mungbean seedlings, nitrogen assimilation enzyme. s-nitrate reductase (NR), nitrite reductase (NIR), anti-oxidant enzymes (POD, CAT and SOD) and on the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide and sulphydryls. $Cd^{++}$ inhibited seed germination and root and shoot length of seedlings. While NR activity was down- regulated, the activities of NIR, POD and SOD were up- regulated with $Cd^{++}$ treatment. $Cd^{++}$ treatment also increased the accumulation of sulphydryls and peroxides, which is reflective of increased thiol rich proteins and oxidative stress. $Ca^{++}$ reversed the toxic effects of $Cd^{++}$ on germination and on early growth of seedlings as well as on the enzyme activities, which were in turn differentially inhibited with a combined treatment with calcium specific chelator EGTA. The results indicate that the external application of $Ca^{++}$ may increase the tolerance capacity of plants to environmental pollutants by both up and down regulating metabolic activities. Abbreviations: $Cd^{++}= cadmium,\;Ca^{++} = calcium$, NR= nitrate reductase, NIR=nitrite reductase, POD = peroxidse, SOD= superoxide dismutase, CAT= catalase, EGTA= ethylene glycol-bis( $\beta-aminoethyl ether$)-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid.
