The intense drought affecting olive production in Northern Chile underscores the need to research non-traditional irrigation strategies to obtain the best crop performance. Accordingly, this study aimed to obtain preliminary data to guide future research on this topic. Different water replenishment levels on crop evapotranspiration ($ET_c$ ; 13.5, 27.0, 40.5, and 54%) were established in a young orchard, cv. Arbequina, from the end of fruit drop (EFD) to full bloom in the next season. We evaluated the influence of plant water status (${\Psi}_{stem}$ ) and crop load, considered as function of fruit number divided by trunk cross-sectional area, on reproductive and productive variables using multiple linear regressions. Our results show that crop load and ${\Psi}_{stem}$ measured from EFD to harvest affected yield components. Nevertheless, ${\Psi}_{stem}$ had the strongest influence on fruit size, pulp development, oil accumulation, and yield. Oil content and yield were reduced by 54% and 50% for each MPa, respectively, from ${\Psi}_{stem\;EFD-H}$ -1.8 MPa, an effect that intensified as crop load increased. During the period of flower development (September-November), the number of flowers per inflorescence and percentage of perfect flowers were reduced when ${\Psi}_{stem}$ was less than -2.0 MPa. These preliminary results showed that bud differentiation, inflorescence and flower formation are highly sensitive to water deficit.

The family of lemnacae colloquially known as duckweed contains the world' smallest species of flowering plants (macrophytes). Aquatic and free-floating, their most striking qualities are a capacity for explosive reproduction and an almost complete lack of fibrous material. They are widely used for reducing chemical loading in facultative sewage lagoons, but their greatest potential lies in their ability to produce large quantities of protein rich biomass, suitable for feeding to a wide range of animals, including fish, poultry and cattle. Despite these qualities there are numerous impediments to these plants being incorporated into western farming systems. Large genetically determined variations in growth in response to nutrients and climate, apparent anti-nutritional factors, concerns about sequestration of heavy metals and possible transference of pathogens raise questions about the safety and usefulness of these plants. A clear understanding of how to address and overcome these impediments needs to be developed before duckweed is widely accepted for nutrient reclamation and as a source of animal feed.

Birdsfoot trefoil grows wild in some parts of Korea, but specific information is lacking as to its growth characteristics, nutritive value and dry matter production potential. The objective of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of wild birdsfoot trefoil(Lotus cornicubus L.) as a forage. Wild birdsfoot trefoil and Au Dewey were field sown at Keongsan, Keongbuk in the spring of 19%. Emergence for Au Dewey was better than for wild birdsfoot trefoil. It was observed that the flowering date of the wild birdsfoot trefoil was similar to Au Dewey. Regrowth of Au Dewey was better than that of the wild birdsfoot trefoil at each harvesting. AAer the last harvesting date, October 1, there was no regrowth of the wild birdsfoot trefoil, but regrowth of Au Dewey measured IOcm. Weed infestation in the wild birdsfoot trefoil plots was higher than in the Au Dewey plots. The dry matter yields were significantly(P< 0.05) higher for Au Dewey than for the wild birdsfoot trefoil.

정원을 만드는데 있어서 정원설계가들은 특정한 색을 이용하여 원칙을 정하고 소재를 수집하여 각자의 미의식으로 결합해가는 기법을 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 흰색을 배색의 주조톤으로 하여 유명한 정원인 제킬(Gertrude Jekyll)의 배링턴 코트(Barrington court)와 비타(Vita Sackvill-West)의 시싱허스트(Sissinghurst)의 화이트 가든에 사용된 초화류의 종류와 특성을 통해 설계기법을 연구한다. 사용된 개별식물을 계절, 색, 형태, 초장, 향기로 구분하여 분석하고, 화이트 가든 조성 시 초화류의 미적 결합방식을 제킬과 비타의 작품을 통해 살펴보았다. 제킬은 봄의 신선함을 위한 정원으로 초롱꽃류(Campanula spp.), 백합류(Lilium spp.)를 위주로 식재하였다. 비타(Vita Sackvill-West)는 주로 여름밤의 달빛을 겨냥한 정원으로 델피니움류(Delphinium spp.), 장미류(Rosa spp.)가 대표적인 수종이다. 꽃의 색은 흰색계열로 조성하였으나, 순수한 흰색에서부터 아이보리색과 실버색을 포함하였으며, 꽃의 형태는 흰색의 단일색에서 오는 단조로움을 피하기 위해 강한 형태를 사용하였다. 또한 잎의 색은 흰꽃이 잘 돋보일 수 있도록 연록색, 연회색, 밝은 녹황색 잎을 조합하였다. 전반적으로 차가운 색상 계열을 사용하여 신비감과 시원함, 청정함, 밤에 빛이 반사되었을 때 흰꽃과 더불어 매혹적이고 애상적인 이미지를 추구하였다. 화이트 가든의 조경사적 의의는 색의 잠재력을 발견하고 범위를 제한하지 않는 재식설계기법의 아이디어와 기술로 주제색상을 통한 정원설계의 시발점이 되었으며, 미적 원리에 의한 결합으로 정원예술의 발전에 기여하였다.

최근 우리나라의 춥지 않은 겨울은 온대낙엽과수의 휴면타파에 필요한 저온기간을 충분히 갖지 못하게 함으로서 개화시기를 앞당기거나 불균일하게 함으로써 수확량을 감소시키는 원인이 되고 있다. 기후변화시나리오에 의하면 이러한 피해가 앞으로 더욱 심해질 것으로 전망되므로 과수산업의 대응전략마련을 위해 정확한 개화기 예측이 필수적이다. 기존의 개화기 예측은 이른 봄부터 나타나는 기온의 영향만을 적용한 것으로써 겨울 동안 눈의 휴면상태와 봄철 발아로 인한 개화시기의 변동은 반영할 수가 없었다. 본 연구는 휴면기간 동안 시간과 기온의 조합인 온도시간에 근거하여 내생휴면해제일, 발아, 개화를 예측할 수 있는 휴면시계모형을 배 품종 '신고'에 맞게 조정하고자 수행하였다. 매일의 기온 자료만으로 내생휴면해제일을 찾아내기 위해 수확이 끝난 포장에서 매주 신고 가지를 채취하여 발아실험을 수행하였으며 포장에서 관측된 일 최고 및 최저기온을 이용하여 내생휴면해제일까지 온도시간을 계산하고 적산하였다. 기준온도를 $4^{\circ}C$에서 $10^{\circ}C$ 범위로 설정하고 $0.1^{\circ}C$ 단위까지 세분화하여 휴면시계모형을 반복 구동함으로써 출력된 예상 발아기와 실측 발아기가 일치하는 조건에 해당하는 기준온도와 저온요구도를 도출하였다. 장기 생물계절 관측자료에 근거하여 발아 이후 개화에 이르는 기간의 온도시간을 계산하여 휴면시계모형에 추가함으로써 배 품종 신고의 만개기를 예측할 수 있도록 수정하였다. 이 모형에 의해 최근 9년간 개화기를 추정한 결과 RMSE가 1.9일로서 신고의 만개기 예측에 실용화 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Indonesia is a mega-biodiversity country having at least one trillion US Dollars value of biological resources per year over the next 20 years. Indonesia is home to 11 percent of the world's flowering plant species and 12 percent of all mammals. Many of Indonesia's species and more than half of the archipelago's endemic plant species are found nowhere else on the Earth. This information is just a small portion of all higher plants and animals being found in Indonesia. Former studies described that total number of species in Indonesia is estimated more than 1,000,000 and most of them remain unknown scientifically. Most of lower plants and animals have not been studied yet, so that greatest portion of Indonesia's biological resources has never been assessed with respect to its economic value or conservation status. Many developed countries are building cooperation with Indonesia on resources, mainly in the fields of grant aid, socio-economic services, R & D, researcher exchange, technology transfer, infrastructure, education/training, finance, etc. Indonesia will obtain greater benefits and management of its biological richness via increasing its international capacity to add value and information to its biological diversity. These goals can be achieved by close international collaboration on search of important biological resources and other bioactive products that have potential economic values. Development of biological resource-based technology stands as the industry of the $21^{st}$ century and, therefore, Indonesia has a unique opportunity to lead the process in the world.

천마(Gastrodia elata, G. elata)는 자연상태에서 수분율이 매우 떨어지고 인공재배에서도 자마의 퇴화로 꽃을 피는 개체가 드물어 연구가 거의 이루어지지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 천마꽃을 인공개화시켜, DPPH radical 소거 활성 평가를 통한 항산화 효능, nitric oxide (NO) 생성 억제 효과를 통한 항염증 효과, hyaluronic acid 생성 촉진 효능을 통한 보습 효과를 평가하여 화장품 소재로서의 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 봄에 수확한 천마가 출현율과 개화율이 높게 나타났고 gastrodin은 0.36% 함유함을 확인하였다. 천마꽃 추출물의 DPPH radical 소거 활성에서 IC₅₀ 값은 0.045%로 나타났으며, 천마꽃 추출물이 천마뿌리 추출물에 비해 radical 소거능이 더 높음을 확인하였다. 천마꽃 추출물에 대한 NO 생성 억제 활성은 1%에서 83.2%로 유의적인 억제 효과를 나타내었다. Hyaluronic acid 생성 촉진 효능은 천마뿌리 추출물에서는 확인되지 않았으나, 꽃 추출물에서는 농도의존적으로 생성율이 증가하였으며, 0.02% 처리시 46.9%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 이상의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 천마꽃 추출물이 항산화, 항염, 피부 보습 화장품 소재로써 활용 가능성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.

Growth hadit and demograph in a mature population of polygonatum and polygonatum humile in kanghwa island were studied for two growing seasons. Shoots of two species emerged early spring from the growing apices of the underdground rhizomes which had persisted for up to 1~5 year.after flowering, the ramets produced two rhizome buds at the shoot base. Bacause of the apical dominance in the rhizome system, a new rhizome was developed from only one bud, an actual bud,and the other latent buds were suppressed sothat remained dormant. The latent dud produced a new rhizome only when the actual dud was severed by the herbivores or by the physical obstacles. Therefore, the ramet number is not increased by the new rhizome from the latent bud. however, new ramets dould sometimes grow from latent buds which had been produced more than a year ago. Production of these ramets was main means increasing the ramet numbew and widening the potential zone of exploitation. Changes in size class of each ramet were noyiceable after a tear in small size-classes. Small ramets replaced themselves with larger-sized ramet, while large ramets with similar-sized or smallar-sized ramets. ramet numbers were average 0.82and 1.14 times of those fromthe previous year inp. involucratum and p. humile, though there was between-site variation. Almost all the ramets in the quadrats were alive during the growing season. when the entire rhizome systems were excavater next spring, there were many rhizomesegments without shoots, especially in p. involucratum. therefore, the drcrease of ramet number in p. involucratum in probably due to the climatic factors of winter.

Mikania micrantha, a neo-tropical vine, is spreading rapidly in the tropical part of Nepal and is now threatening the rural ecosystem including biodiversity and rural livelihoods. However, no attempt has been made to control the spread of M. micrantha. As a result, the vines are spreading freely and rapidly. After a thorough literature review and assessment of forest management practices, we proposed a manual cutting method, as it suits the Nepalese situation for several reasons: required labor is readily available, as local communities are managing forest patches, and the method does not have any potential adverse effects on non-target native species. Experimental plots were laid out in August 2011 to examine the effectiveness of manual cutting. Two different site types based on canopy coverage were selected and divided into three blocks based on cutting strategy. Four treatments were assigned across the experimental plots following a complete block design. We harvested above-ground biomass according to the assigned treatment. The results suggested that there should be at least two consecutive cuttings within a 3-week interval before flowering, and that three consecutive cuttings resulted in 91% mortality of the vines. In addition, cutting promoted regeneration of native plant species. Employing regular cutting operations can modify understory shade enhancing regeneration of native species, which is a desirable condition to constrain proliferation of M. micrantha. Periodic cuttings reduced the competitiveness of M. micrantha regardless of canopy openness, but native ground cover should be retained.

A survey of the endangered orchid Orchis militaris populations was carried out in north-eastern Italy. The occurrence of fungal root endophytes was investigated by light and electron microscopies and molecular techniques. Two main sites of presence were individuated in the Euganean Hills, differing as to the percentage of flowering individuals and of capsules completing maturity. Fluorescence microscopy revealed an intracellular cortical colonization by hyphal pelotons. Two ITS PCR products co-amplified. Sequencing revealed for the former an identity and a high similarity (99%) with a Tulasnellaceae (Basidiomycota) fungus found within tissues of the same host in independent studies in Hungary and Estonia, suggesting an interesting case of tight specificity throughout the Eurosiberian home range. The second amplicon had 99% similarity with Tetracladium species (Ascomycota) recently demonstrated as potential endophytes. TEM revealed two different hyphal structures. Double fungal colonization appears to occur in Orchis militaris and the possible requirement of a specific fungal partner throws light on the causes of this plant's rarity and threatened status.
