Preference of chestnut brown chafer (CBC), Adoretus tenuimaculatus was examined from chestnut leaves which were treated with different light condition, temperature and nitrogen fertilization. More CBC was attracted to leaves which grown at $30^{\circ}C$ than grown at $20^{\circ}C$,$ 25^{\circ}C$ and in the field. When attracted number of CBC was compared among full sunlight-grown, cloth shaded-grown and dark-grown plants, 4.0 in full sunlight grown and 5.0 in dark-grown plants. Amount of nitrogen fertilizer did not influence CBC feeding. The attractiveness of undamaged leaves with non-feeding beetles, leaves with feeding damaged, and leaves with artificial damaged was compared in replicated laboratory trials by placing the treatments in the petri-dish and counted the number of beetles that landed on the plants after 6 hr treatment. The highest number of beetles was attracted to chestnut leaf with feeding damaged ($7.7\pm$0.6) than undamaged leaf with non-feeding beetles ($5.3\pm$0.6) and artificial damaged ($4.3\pm$0.6). Managnese content in the leaves of chestnut grown in shade cloth-grown condition was higher than that in the leaves of chestnut that had been exposed to full sunlight condition and dark condition, and feeding damaged leaf.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of bulk fermentation on chemical, chromatic, and organoleptic characteristics of burley leaf tobacco. The pile of ferment processing was taken up 32 days under the conolitions of leaf moisture contents of $28\pm1%$, with a pressure of some 200kg/$m^2$ within a closed room (mean air temperature and relative humidity ; 20.5$^{\circ}C$ and 58.7%). The pile was opened up and reconstructed two times when the maximum inside temperature reached at $45~46^{\circ}C$. The nicotine content was decreased, but amomnia contents and pH were significantly increased by bulk fermentation. Otherwise, the contents of total nitrogen, total volatile base, organic acids, and fatty acids were not affected by same treatment. The value of L(black to white), a(red to green) and b(yellow to blue) in chromatic characteristics were significantly decreased by bulk fermentation. In sensory test of the cigarettes made by addition of the tormented tobacco leaves after toasting in proportion of 19-25%, no negative characteristics in irritation, taste, and preference were detected in comparison with normally processed cigarettes(19%, 2 years fermentation, toasting). The results suggest that bulk fermentation may be useful to increase the proportion of burley leaf tobacco in the cigarettes and to shorten the period of storage for aging.

The expansive properties of leaf tobacco by nitrogen gas was investigated with cut tobacco AB3O-1, CD3L-1(NC82). Major factors for the best expansion of the tobacco by the gas were an impregnated pressure and expansion temperature. The expansion rate for AB3O-1 and CD3L-1 at 250℃, 750kg/cm2 was 96.6%, 99.4% respectively. The shred size and fineness index at 96.6% of expansion rate for AB3O-1 was almost the same as at 58.3% for CD3L-1. The time reaching at equilibrium moisture under of RH 57% was 36hr in non-treated leaf tobacco, but it was 20hr in expanded tobacco. We confirmed that total sugar contents of leaf tobacco by the expansion was decreased with 9.3∼10.9%. Total alkaloid was decreased with 17.5∼21.1% and ether extracts was declined with 4.9∼9.3%. These results suggest that the expansion method of leaf tobacco by nitrogen gas is a useful method without any serious environmental troubles. Key words : expansion, nitrogen gas, heat treatment, tobacco.

Mycosphaerella nawae, the causal organism, of spotted leaf casing disease of persimmon, was isolated from infected leaves showing typical symptom. The cultural characteristics of the fungus were compared on artificial media. Among 24 different combinations of culture media and supplements, oatmeal agar+persimmon leaf extract (PLE) and PAD+ PLE+streptomycin showed the highest rate of isolating as 57.1%. The best medium for mycelial growth of the fungus was PDA+persimmon leaf powder (PLP). The colony diameter was reached 47mm for 30 days at 2$0^{\circ}C$. PDA+PLE also supported good mcyelial growth showing 46mm of diameter in same condition. The optimum growth temperature of this fungus in PDA was recognized fairly low. The mycelial growth was higher at 2$0^{\circ}C$ than 15$^{\circ}C$. The variation of pH between pH 4 to pH 8 did not affect to the mycelial growth of the pathogen.

The spatial patterns for temperature distribution on crape myrtle leaves infested with sooty mold were investigated using a digital infrared thermal imaging camera. The mean temperatures of the control and sooty regions were $26.98^{\circ}C$ and $28.44^{\circ}C$, respectively. In the thermal images, the sooty regions appeared as distinct spots, indicating that the temperatures in these areas were higher than those in the control regions on the same leaves. This suggests that the sooty regions became warmer than their control regions on the adaxial leaf surface. Neither epidermal penetration nor cell wall dissolution by the fungus was observed on the adaxial leaf surface. It is likely that the high temperature of black leaves have an increased cooling load. To our knowledge, this is the first report on elevated temperatures in sooty regions, and the results show spatial heterogeneity in temperature distribution across the leaf surface.

This study was conducted to classify photosynthesis rate and changes of rutin content of Korean buckwheat (cv. Chunchon-jaerae and Yangjeul-memil) treated with salinity, UV-C and low temperature. In case of cv. Chunchon-jaerae and Yangjeul-memil, according to the salt stress, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance and photosynthesis rate were decreased. Both cultivars also showed decrease of transpiration rate and photosynthesis rate under the UV-C. Rutin contents within leaf and stem of cv. Yangjeul-memil were decreased when NaCl concentration was high. Rutin contents within leaf and stem of cv. Yangjeul-memil were generally decreased when the time laps under the UV-C stress. Rutin contents within leaf and stem of cv. Chunchon-jaerae was also generally decreased when the time laps under the low temperature stress.

Dried tobacco leaf debris infected with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) was subjected to heat treatment (6$0^{\circ}C$~10$0^{\circ}C$) with or without addition of moisture and to room temperature for natural decay to examine the periods of time required for the inactivation of PMV in the inoculum source. Wet conditions (60% moisture content of the debris) for heat treatment were more efficient than dry conditions to inactivate the virus at 7$0^{\circ}C$~10$0^{\circ}C$, and which decrease of temperature, the time needed for the viral inactivation increased greatly. At 6$0^{\circ}C$ and 7$0^{\circ}C$, the temperaturein a compost heap during the actively decomposing period, it takes about 15 days or more for the complete inactivation of the virus. However, considering the decrease of the viral infectivity during the decomposition, a shorter period of time will be required to inactivate TMV in the conditions mentioned above, suggesting that a well decomposed organic manure containing tobacco leaf debris may not have infective TMV and may not provide a potential inoculum source.

In order to find out the relationship between spring phytophenological index and temperature index for the past nine years (2010~2018), this study identified the relationship between temperature changes and trends in spring phytophenological index of sprouting, flowering and leaf unfolding of Pinus densiflora Siebold & Zucc., Larix kaempferi (Lamb.) Carrière, Quercus mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb., Rhododendron mucronulatum Turcz., Lindera obtusiloba Blume and Acer pseudosieboldianum (Pax) Kom. in Daegu Arboretum, Palgong mt., Juwang mt. and Gaya mt. The change in temperature was caused by an increase in the monthly average temperature between March and April compared to February for nine years, and the average temperature of Daegu Arboretum and Palgong mt. were higher by region. The sprouting, flowering and leaf unfolding were the fastest of the Lindera obtusiloba and the slowest of the Pinus densiflora for each species, and the fastest plant season in Daegu arboretum came. SPI (Spring Phytophenological Index) tends to advance by -1.267~-6.151/9 years, with the largest Pinus densiflora (-6.151/9 years), with the lowest rate of change for Rhododendron mucronulatum (-1.267 days/9 years). Species which shows significant values in sprouting, flowering and leaf unfolding is Rhododendron mucronulatum and Pinus densiflora, which correlate with the mean temperature of January to March. As a result of checking the time series change of SPI, the change rate in the four regions was all negative and the phenolocal index was all accelerating. Among them, the rate of change was greater in inland areas such as Daegu arboretum, Palgong Mt. and Gaya mt. and the rate of change was slightly lower in the case of Juwang mt., which is somewhat distant.

Larix kaempferi and Betula costata seedlings were grown under an elevated temperature ($27^{\circ}C$) for four weeks to understand initial changes on physiological characteristics caused by temperature rising in connection with global warming. At the end of the treatment, growth performance, leaf pigment content, antioxidative enzyme activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were measured and analyzed. Relative growth rates of the height of two tree species grown under elevated temperature ($27^{\circ}C$) were lower than those of control ($24^{\circ}C$) and dry weights of leaves, stems and roots were also reduced at higher temperature. Particularly, the root growth reduction of two tree species increased markedly at $27^{\circ}C$ over the study period, which increased the ratio of shoot to root. Under higher temperature, leaf pigment contents decreased, whereas anti-oxidative enzyme activities such as ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and catalase (CAT) increased as compared with the control. But MDA content was not affected by elevated temperature. In conclusion, the elevated temperature leads to root growth reduction, restriction of nutrient uptake from soil and the reduction of leaf pigment contents, which can inhibit the aboveground growth. In addition, higher temperature might act as a stress factor that causes growth reduction through the increase of energy consumption during a growth period.
