  • 국내외적으로 ACLSV, ASGV, ApMV, ASSVd와 같은 바이러스 및 바이로이드 병의 발생으로 사과 과실의 생산량 감소와 기형적인 외형 등 많은 문제점들이 보고되었다. 하지만 사과 바이러스의 감염에 대한 방제 대책은 거의 알려진 바가 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사과 신품종인 '단홍', '홍안', '새나라', '썸머드림'을 분양하기에 앞서 바이러스 무병묘를 생산하는 시스템을 확립하고자 하였다. $37^{\circ}C$가 유지되는 항온 항습장치에서 4주간 열처리를 하였으며 기내에서 경정 배양을 하였다. 열처리된 각각의 사과 신품종들은 바이러스 진단 프라이머를 통해 RT-PCR을 수행하여 바이러스 진단을 수행하였다. 결과적으로 '단홍'은 28%의 바이러스 무병묘를 확보할 수 있었으며 '홍안'은 16%, '새나라'와 '썸머드림'은 12%의 확률로 바이러스 무병 사과를 확보할 수 있었다. 본 연구결과는 열처리 및 경정배양을 통해 사과 신품종에서 바이러스 무병묘 생산 시스템 구축이 가능함을 보여주었다.

  • 전라북도지방 소산 한약자원 식물은 91과 305속 470종 1아종 30변종 2품종으로 총 503종류가 본 조사결과 밝혀졌다. 각 과별로 그 숫자가 많은 종류는 국화과에 속하는 식물이 45종류로 가장 빈번하게 나타났고 그 다음은 장미과 식물이 30종류 그리고 콩과는 23종류의 순서였다. 전 조사지역에 고루 다수 분포하는 종류는 오미자, 마, 승마, 촛대승마, 족도리, 천남성, 둥굴레, 꿀풀, 박새를 들 수 있으며 집중적으로 나는 상태를 알아보기 위하여 정량조사를 실시한 결과, 예컨대, 더덕은 5m$\times$5m내에 30-50 개체가 덕유산 표고 약1300m 북서사면에서 조사되었다. 현재 심한 채취로 감소추세에 있는 식물은 둥굴레, 오미자, 더덕 등이고, 농가에서 재배중이거나 앞으로 개발 유망하며 가치가 높은 종류는 만삼, 가시오갈피, 천마, 복분자딸기, 더덕, 하수오 등이 있다. 요컨대 전라북도 지방에는 풍부하고 다양한 한약자원식물이 자연상태에 분포하고 있으며 이를 연구하고 집중적인 개발이 필요하다고 판단되었다.

  • Plasma lighting systems have been engineered to simulate sunlight. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of plasma lighting on tomato plant growth, photosynthetic characteristics, flowering rate, and physiological disorders. Tomato plants were grown in growth chambers at air temperatures of $25/23^{\circ}C$ (light/dark period), in a $16h\;day^{-1}$ light period provided by four different light sources: 1 kW and 700 W sulfur plasma lights (1 SPL and 0.7 SPL), 1 kW indium bromide plasma light, and 700 W high pressure sodium lamp (0.7 HPS) as a control. The totaldry weight and leaf area at 0.7 SPL were approximately 1.2 and 1.3 times greater, respectively, than that of 0.7 HPS at the 62 days after sowing (DAS). The maximum light assimilation rate was observed at 1 SPL at the 73 DAS. In addition, the light compensation and saturation points of the plants treated with plasma lighting were 98.5% higher compared with HPS. Those differences appeared to be related to more efficient light interception, provided by the SPL spectrum. The percentage of flowering at 0.7 SPL was 30.5%, which was higher than that at 0.7 HPS; however, there were some instances of severe blossom end rot. Results indicate that plasma lighting promotes tomato growth, flowering, and photosynthesis. Therefore, a plasma lighting system may be a valuable supplemental light source in a greenhouse or plant factory.

  • Background and objective: This study was carried out to investigate and analyze the preference for plant fragrance and the psychological effects of a agro-healing activity in 101 firefighters aged 39.71 ± 10.94. Methods: For the psychological evaluation, post-traumatic stress symptoms, Korean occupational stress scale short form (KOSS-SF), emotional intelligence, and job satisfaction were surveyed on the Likert scale. For the preference for plant fragrances, 20 ㎕ of commercially available essential oils from four plant species (Mentha spp., Lavandula spp., Citrus limon, C. sinensis) were absorbed into each test paper and provided to the participants. Results: The rate of post-traumatic stress symptoms was high at 37.6% of the firefighters surveyed.. C. limon fragrance had the highest preference among the four plant fragrances, followed by C. sinensis > Mentha spp. > Lavandula spp. with statistically significant difference (F = 14.256, p < .001). The lower their age, income, and position, and higher the education level, the higher the preference for plant fragrances. And the administrative group had higher preference for plant fragrances than field group. In addition, as a result of examining the correlation between job satisfaction, preference for plant fragrance, post-traumatic stress, emotional intelligence, and job stress for fire-fighters, the higher the job satisfaction, the higher the fragrance preference and emotional intelligence, and the lower the post-traumatic stress and job stress. Conclusion: Therefore, installing a garden using botanical fragrances at workplaces that firefighters can easily access will improve job satisfaction and relieve stress. It can be concluded that applying the fragrance of plants to the healing farming activities at the fire-fighter's workplace can increase the usefulness of the healing activities.

  • Consumption of herbal products from the medicinal plants contaminated with heavy metals can cause serious consequences on human health. This is a major concern for traditional and herbal medicine. The present study was carried out to analyze and quantify the levels of six potentially toxic heavy metals namely arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium and nickel in ten important Indian medicinal herbs. The air dried raw herbs were processed by microwave assisted wet digestion and analyzed by using atomic absorption spectrophotometer equipped with graphite tube atomizer. Except the chromium content in three plants, all the levels of six heavy metals analyzed were found to be quite below the permissible limits in all the ten raw medicinal herbs analyzed. The present work implies that, regular and systematic screening of raw medicinal herbs is necessary to check the levels of the heavy metal contaminants before using them for consumption or preparation of herbal formulations so that the possible contamination cannot cumulate up to the finished products.

  • Stem blight symptoms were observed in greenhouse-grown bottle gourds (Lagenaria siceraria) in Wanju, Korea. Infected plants showed leaf chlorosis and wilting; the plants eventually died with the infected leaves remaining attached, and black sclerotia formed on the diseased stem. Based on the morphological characteristics and pathogenicity results and sequence analyses of the internal transcribed spacer, translation elongation factor 1-α, β-tubulin, and calmodulin regions, the isolated fungus was Macrophomina phaseolina. This is the first report of charcoal rot in Lagenaria siceraria caused by Macrophomina phaseolina in Korea.

  • Topical anesthetics are routinely used in dental practice for various purposes. They are usually available at higher dosages and have serious potential adverse reactions, such as seizures, anaphylaxis, and acquired methemoglobinemia. To date, the scope of application of herbal plants and their extracts, which have medicinal properties, has been elaborated in the field of dentistry. The growing interest in herbal medication can be attributed to the increased safety profile of herbal agents, in contrast to synthetic preparations that have a higher risk of systemic complications. Herbal preparations can induce topical anesthesia with minimal side effects. Recently, many studies have reported the use of topical herbal preparations. The current review aimed to evaluate data from various articles comparing the capacity of herbal topical anesthetic formulations and conventional synthetic anesthetics in reducing pain perception when used as local anesthesia before dental procedures.

  • BACKGROUND: The use of green manure and compost as organic fertilizer may increase crop yield and soil fertility due to improved soil nutrient availability and soil organic matter content (SOM). This study aimed to investigate the effects of hairy vetch (Vicia villosa L.) and compost application on red pepper growth, yield, fruit quality and soil health. METHODS AND RESULTS: The treatments were no fertilizer (CON), chemical fertilizer (CF), hairy vetch (HV), and livestock compost+HV (LC+HV). Red pepper seedlings (70 days old) were transplanted and maintained in experimental plots for 140 days. Plant dry weight, micro- and macronutrient contents of plants and soil chemical properties were determined. All fertilizer treatments significantly increased plant dry weight. Fruit yield was significantly highest with HV treatment. As for nutrient content, plants in HV and LC+HV treatments have significantly higher K and Ca contents than the other treatments. Regarding soil properties, HV and LC+HV application significantly altered the soil chemical properties. Significantly higher SOM was observed in HV and LC+HV treated soils. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that short-term application of hairy vetch and compost is an effective alternative to the conventional chemical fertilizer to increase fruit yield red pepper and improve soil health.

  • 2010년 3월 경기도 평택시 오이 시설재배농가에서 오이의 지제부 줄기가 썩으면서 시들어 죽는 증상이 발생하였다. 대목은 흑종호박을 사용하였으며, 대목줄기가 수침상으로 썩고 표면에 흰색 내지 분홍색의 곰팡이가 형성된 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 병든 식물체 줄기에서 병원균을 분리하여 균학적 특징을 파악하고 배양적 특성을 검토한 결과 Fusarium solani f. sp. cucurbitae로 동정되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 가지고 이 병을 F. solani f. sp. cucurbitae에 의한 오이 근경썩음병(Crown and Foot Rot)으로 제안하고자 한다.
