In order to study the range of flight and feeding activity of Anopheles sinensis, the dispersal experiment was conducted in Paju city, located in the northern part of Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea, during the period of 7th to 28th September 1998. Unfed females An. sinensis were collected in cowshed and released after being marked with fluorescent dye at 23:00 hours on the same day. Released female mosquitoes were recaptured everyday during 21 days using light traps, which were set at 10 sites in the cowsheds located 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 km north-northwest and north-northeast and at 3 sites located 1, 6 and 9 km toward south-west from the release point. In addition, to study the longest flight distance in one night, we set the light traps at 16 and 20 km toward north-northeast from the release site. All the collected mosquitoes were placed on filter papers and observed on UV transilluminator after treatment with one drop of 100% ethanol. Out of 12,773 females of An. sinensis released, 194 marked females mosquitoes were recaptured, giving 1.52% recapture rate. Of 194, 72 mosquitoes (37 1%) were recaptured in light traps from three places set at 1 km from the release point, 57 mosquitoes (29.4%) from two places at 1-3 km, 41 mosquitoes (21.1%) from three places at 3-6 km, 20 mosquitoes (10.3%) from three places at 6-9 km, and 4 mosquitoes (2.1%) from two places at 9-12 km. Since 170 female mosquitoes (87.6%) out of 194 marked mosquitoes were captured within 6 km from the release point, this flight radius represents the main activity area. An. sinensis was found to be able to fly at least 12 km during one night.

Porphyromonas endodontalis, an anaerobic Gram negative cocobacillus which was known to be associated with the infected root canals and periapical lesions, is very difficult to culture and to detect by the traditional method in that it requires much time to induce the specific black pigmentation, and it is very sensitive to oxygen and the antibiotics added in the culture medium. In this study, the nucleotide sequences of the 'probe h' (0.73kb), one of the specific DNA probes top. endodontalis (ATCC 35406) which had been developed by our department, was determined and then a pair of primers for PCR amplification was fabricated to identify P. endodontalis. The plasmids containing 'probe h' were purified by $Wizard^{TM}$ Midipreps DNA Purification System (Promega Corp.), and the nucleotide sequences of the 'probe h' were determined by the dideoxy chain termination method using TaqTrack Sequencing System (Promega Corp.) and detected by fluorescent labelling method. The sense/antisense PCR primers were designed with computer software (Lasergene, DNASTAR Ind. PCR was done with a programmable GeneAmp PCR System 2400 (Perkin Elmer-Cetus Co.). Each sample containing the whole genomic DNA of P. endodontalis and other black-pigmented Bacteroides was itailly denatured at $94^{\circ}C$ for 5 min and then subjected to 30 cycles, each of them consisting of 60s at $94^{\circ}C$, 60s at $60^{\circ}C$, and 90s. at $72^{\circ}C$. The amplified DNA was resolved electrophoretically in a 1.0 % agarose gel in 1X TAE buffer, stained with EtBr, and photographed on a UV transilluminator. The results were as follows : 1. The nucleotide sequences of 'probe h' (743 base pairs) were obtained by dideoxy chain termination method, and from that results the specific primers to P. endodontalis (ATCC 35406), 'Primer H1/ Primer H2', were designed. 2. It has been found that 'Primer H1/H2' could detect P. endodontalis (ATCC 35406) using PCR. 3. The PCR system with this primers may be a powerful technique to amplify the specific sequences of 'probe h' of P. endodontalis (ATCC 35406) that produce distinct identification of it from other black-pigmented Bacteroides, and this could help us to determine the nature of periapical disease.

본 실험은 영양번식계 사과배양묘의 규격묘 생산을 위한 기초자료를 얻고자 순화된 사과 M.9묘의 광질 영향이 생육과 광합성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 6주간 환경이 조절된 룸에서 재배하였다. 인공광원은 6처리[적색(R), 청색(B), 백색(W), RBUV(UV-A 함유된 R7B3), RBW(R3B1W1), SMF(고압나트륨+메탈할라이드+형광등)]이며 식물에 조사된 광량은 $154{\pm}4{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$이였다. 사과 묘 생육 특성 반응은 3주와 6주 각각 인공광원에 따라 차이를 보였다. 사과 묘 초장이 3주에는 R, RBUV, RBW, SMF 광원에서 높았으나, 6주에는 R 광원에서 높았다. 묘경은 3주째는 처리 간 차이가 없었으나, 6주째는 RBUV, RBW 광원에서 높았으며, 엽수는 3주와 6주 모두 RBUV 광원에서 가장 많았다. 엽록소 함량 SPAD 값은 3주째는 B와 RBUV 광원과 광원에서 높았으나 6주째는 차이가 없었다. 초장을 기준으로 인공광원 처리기간 중 생장율은 R 광원에서 1.12mm/day로 가장 빨랐으며, RBUV 광원(0.95mm/day), RBW 광원(0.86mm/day), SMF 광원 (0.76mm/day), W 광원(0.69mm/day), B 광원(0.44mm/day) 순 이였다. 엽면적은 RBUV, RBW 광원에서 높았고, B 광원에서 낮았으며, 비엽면적은 W 광원에서 높았으며, 생체중과 건물중은 RBUV 광원에서 높았다. 처리 6주째 광합성율은 B 광원에서 가장 높았으며, R 광원에서 낮았고, 기공전도도와 증산율은 B와 W 광원에서 높았다. 따라서 순화된 기내 배양 사과 M.9묘의 초장, 묘경, 엽수, 생체중 등 생육을 위해서는 광파장 영역이 R, R+B가 혼합비율이 높았던 R, RBUV, RBW 광원이 적합하였다.
