The susceptibility of chilling-resistant spinach plants. and of chilling-sensitive squash plants to photoinhibition was compared in terms of the activity of photosystem II, in relation to the deuce of fatty acid unsaturation of chloroplast membrane lipids. From thylakoid membranes of the plants. monogalactosyl diacylgtycerol, digalactosyl diacylglycerol. sulfoquinovosyt diacylglycerol, and phosphatidylglycerol were seperated as major lipid classes. It was found that the content of cis-unsaturated fatty acids of phosphatidylglycerol was greater by 32% in spinach than that in squash. When leaf disks were exposed to light at 5$\circ$C, 15$\circ$C and 25$\circ$C, photochemical efficiency of photosystem II. measured as the ratio of the variable to the maximum fluorescence of chlorophyll, declined markedly in squash plants, as compared to spinach plants. When leaf disks were exposed to strong light in the presence of lincomycin, an inhibitor of protein synthesis in chloroplasts, photoinhibition was accelerated in the two types of plants. Moreover, lincomycin treatment abolished the differences in the degree of susceptibility to strong light, which had been observed between the two types of plants. When the extent of photoinhibition of photosystem II-mediated electron transport was compared in thylakoid membranes isolated from the two types of plants, there were no differences in the degree of inactivation of photosystem II activity. However, when intact leaf disks were exposed to strong light either at 10$\circ$C or at 25$\circ$C, and then were allowed to recover either at 17$\circ$C or at 25$\circ$C in dim light. chilling-resistant plants such as spinach and pea showed marked recovery from photoinhibition, in contrast to chilling-sensitive plants, such as squash and sweet potato. whose recovery was strongly dependent on the temperature. These findings are discussed in relation to the unsaturation of fatty acids in membrane phosphatidylglycerol. It appears that fatty acid unsaturation of membrane lipids accelerates the recovery of photosystem H from photoinhibition, without affecting the photo-induced inactivation process of photosystem II associated with photoinhibition.

Pathogen infection in plants induces complex responses ranging from gene expression to metabolic processes in infected plants. In spite of many studies on biotic stress-related changes in host plants, little is known about the metabolic and phenotypic responses of the host plants to Pseudomonas cichorii infection based on image-based analysis. To investigate alterations in tomato plants according to disease severity, we inoculated plants with different cell densities of P. cichorii using dipping and syringe infiltration methods. High-dose inocula (${\geq}10^6cfu/ml$) induced evident necrotic lesions within one day that corresponded to bacterial growth in the infected tissues. Among the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters analyzed, changes in quantum yield of PSII (${\Phi}PSII$) and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) preceded the appearance of visible symptoms, but maximum quantum efficiency of PSII ($F_v/F_m$) was altered well after symptom development. Visible/near infrared and chlorophyll fluorescence hyperspectral images detected changes before symptom appearance at low-density inoculation. The results of this study indicate that the P. cichorii infection severity can be detected by chlorophyll fluorescence assay and hyperspectral images prior to the onset of visible symptoms, indicating the feasibility of early detection of diseases. However, to detect disease development by hyperspectral imaging, more detailed protocols and analyses are necessary. Taken together, change in chlorophyll fluorescence is a good parameter for early detection of P. cichorii infection in tomato plants. In addition, image-based visualization of infection severity before visual damage appearance will contribute to effective management of plant diseases.

본 연구는 대기 중 $CO_2$ 농도의 증가가 배추(B. campestris subsp. napus var. pekinensis)의 광합성과 생리적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 미래의 대기중 $CO_2$ 농도 증가로 인한 고랭지 배추의 생산성을 예측해 보고자 수행하였다. 대기 $CO_2$ 농도를 달리하여 배추를 5주 동안 재배하였을 때, 지상부 생체량, 엽수, 엽면적, 엽장, 엽폭은 모두 대기 $CO_2$ 농도 조건($400{\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$)에서 재배된 배추에서보다 고농도의 $CO_2$ 조건($800{\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$)에서 재배된 배추에서 더 높게 나타났다. 그리고 증산률(E)이 다소 낮았지만, $CO_2$ 고정률(A), 기공전도도($g_s$)와 수분이용효율(WUE)도 고농도의 $CO_2$에서 높았다. 최대광합성률($A_{max}$)은 대조구인 대기 중 $CO_2$ 농도에서 보다 고농도의 $CO_2$ 조건에서 2.2배 더 높았다. 광보상점($Q_{comp}$)은 대조구에서보다 고농도의 $CO_2$ 조건에서 다소 낮았다. 순양자수율(${\varphi}$)은 고농도의 $CO_2$ 조건에서 재배된 배추에서 높았다. 그러나, $CO_2$반응곡선으로부터 얻은 광호흡률($R_p$), 최대카르복실화속도($V_{cmax}$), $CO_2$ 보상점(CCP), 최대전자전달률($J_{max}$), 탄소고정효율(ACE) 등은 $CO_2$ 농도에 따라서 차이가 없거나 있더라도 미미하였다. 그리고, 광계II의 최대 광화학적 효율($F_v/F_m$)과 잠재적 광합성능($F_v/F_o$)이 $CO_2$ 농도에 따라 유의한 차이를 보이지 않아 고농도 $CO_2$ 조건이 고랭지 재배시 배추의 생육에 스트레스로 작용하지 않는 것으로 보인다. 배추의 광합성을 위한 최적 온도는 고농도 $CO_2$에서 $2^{\circ}C$ 정도 더 높았으며, 최적온도 이상의 조건에서는 대기 $CO_2$와 고농도 $CO_2$에서 모두 $CO_2$ 고정률은 감소하고 암호흡은 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 이상의 결과로부터 미래의 대기 중 $CO_2$ 증가는 고랭지 재배시 배추의 생육에 있어서 스트레스 요인으로 작용하지는 않으며 수광량의 증가가 생산성을 향상시킬 것으로 보인다.
