In this study, we examined the effect of high temperature of urban area on the physiological response of apple tree including the photosynthesis, shoot growth, and fruit quality of 'Fuji'/M.9 apple trees planted at Daegu urban area (DUA) and Gunwi rural area (GRA) for 2 years (2009-2010). During the apple growing season (April-October), the average air temperature of DUA was about $3.0^{\circ}C$ higher than that of GRA and the total rainfall of DUA was 130 mm more than that of GRA. During fruit enlargement stage (June-August), the number of days that recorded daily mean temperature of over $30^{\circ}C$ were ten on DUA in 2010, but there was no day when such temperature was experienced in 2009. Average air temperature of DUA during the maturation stage (September-October) was $19.8^{\circ}C$, which was $4.0^{\circ}C$ higher than that of GRA. The higher temperature of over $30^{\circ}C$ during fruit enlargement stage decreased the photosynthetic rate, shoot growth, fruit weight, and soluble solid content of 'Fuji'/M.9 apple tree. The moderate temperature of about $20^{\circ}C$ during maturation stage increased the photosynthetic rate and soluble solid content of 'Fuji'/M.9 apple tree, but decreased fruit red color. In regional comparison with GRA, photosynthetic rate of DUA was changed from lower before rainy season to higher after rainy season. Fruit weight was higher in DUA than that of GRA. However, fruit weight between DUA and GRA did not show the difference when accumulated days that recorded daily maximum temperature over $35^{\circ}C$ of DUA was increased. Compared to the GRA, soluble solid content of DUA was higher, but fruit red color of DUA was less. These results indicate that the poor red coloring is the most problematic in 'Fuji'/M.9 apple tree by global warming and urbanization.

Breaker stage tomato fruits that were stored at low temperatures show typical chilling symptoms such as uneven ripening and a high respiration. Experiments were performed to assess and compare these chilling injury symptoms of breaker stage tomato fruits, and to gather basic data that can be used to decide whether horticultural crops receive chilling injuries. Tomato fruits that had been sorted in the breaker stage were stored at $2^{\circ}C$ for 0, 3, 6, and 9 days, and then their respiration rates were measured at 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h after moving them to room temperature. This treatment was repeated twice on the same procedures, except the storage periods, which were changed to 0, 1, 2, 3, and 10 days. The respiration rate was increased in a 1 day storage treatment, and the increasing rate rose higher with extended storage periods. The $a^*$ value, which represents the surface color of tomato fruits, was measured 10 days after moving to them into room temperature. Those with an increased $a^*$ value rate got dull and showed uneven coloring after 2 days' storage treatment. These two factors, the respiration rate and $a^*$ value of the surface, showed a high correlation (r = 0.9716, p < 0.001). Therefore, the chilling injury of breaker stage tomato fruits can be diagnosed by measuring the respiration rate after moving them into room temperature, and the degree of chilling injury can also be assessed in terms of the respiration increase rate.

In order to find a new antimicrobial bacterium, we performed screening for antimicrobial activity of bacteria isolated from the eggs of a sea hare. The newly identified strain was designated as Phaeobacter inhibens KJ-2, based on the biochemical characterization and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. A colony of P. inhibens KJ-2 showed a circular and ruler-like smooth form at the edge, and a brown color. However, when maintained with a longer incubation time, its coloring was transformed into dark brown. From the result of SEM, P. inhibens KJ-2 is a bacillus which has a length of $0.8{\sim}1.0{\mu}m$ and a width of $0.4{\sim}0.6{\mu}m$. The optimal growth and antimicrobial activity were observed by shaking the culture for 24 hr at $20^{\circ}C$, which showed potent activity against pathogenic bacteria including Vibrio logei, Vibrio campbellii, Vibrio mimicus, Vibrio vulnificus, and Vibrio salmonicida. The antimicrobial activity was proportional to the amount of produced acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs). Therefore, we suggest that production of antimicrobial materials from P. inhibens KJ-2 is regulated by Quorum sensing (QS).

This research was carried out to produce rainbow-colored roses from white cut rose, Rosa hybrida 'Denice', to meet customers' desire of having various colors of roses. The higher temperature of dyeing solution used, the faster coloring time surveyed. In high temperature, the flowering speed of cut flower accelerated and after treating more than 4 hours, the edges of flowers became too dark or dry. In the condition of concentration of dyeing solution, $11g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ dyed faster than $7.5g{\cdot}L^{-1}$, however, no differences between $15g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and $11g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ have observed. It looked fast coloration at the stage of early blooming, but all three different petal opening stages need similar time to get even coloration from outer to inner petals. For the consideration of commercial value, flowers with 3-4 petals opened are better quality than flowers with less petals opened. It was possible to make rainbow-colored rose by dipping 'Denice' with 3 primary color combination, Hot Pink, True Blue, and Yellow dyes, at the best result conditions of $20^{\circ}C$ solution temperature, 3-4 petals opening stage, 11g/L concentration of dye solution and 3 hours dipping, respectively.

Novel aromatic imine derivatives with yellow were designed and synthesized for their potential application in color filters for image sensors. The synthesized compounds possessed chemical structures using aromatic imine groups. This innovative material was evaluated thoroughly, considering its optical and thermal properties under conditions similar to commercial device manufacturing processes. Following a rigorous performance evaluation, it was found that (E)-3-methyl-4-((3-methyl-5-oxo-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4(5H)-ylidene)methyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one, abbreviated as MOPMPO, exhibited an impressive solubility of 0.5 wt% in propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, predominantly utilized as the solvent in the industry. Furthermore, MOPMPO showed exceptional performance as a color filter material for image sensors, having a high decomposition temperature of 290 ℃. These data unequivocally establish MOPMPO as a viable yellow dye additive for coloring materials in image sensor applications.

This research was conducted to investigate a difference in quality according to control of fruit load and cluster weight when seeded 'Heukboseok' grape was grown in a conventional cultivation system. Clusters per vine were set to harvest 1,500 kg, 1,800 kg, and 2,200 kg grapes per $990m^2$. In p lots t reated t o produce 1,800 kg grapes, clusters were set to 3 grades produce grapes with 350 g, 500 g, and 700 g in cluster weight. Based on color chart (National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science, Rural Development Admnistration) which show maturation stage for 'Kyoho' grape, grapes with higher than grade 9 were harvested at 80 and 90 days after full bloom, and the r est of them were harvested a t 100 days after full bloom. The final yield of 'Heukboseok' grape was the lowest in target yield of 1,800 kg with 700 g clusters with 75.5% of target yield, but 92.1%-100.1% of target yield were harvested in other treatments. Among treatments with several fruit setting, 83.3% of grapes harvested in treatment to produce 1,500 kg grapes as a target yield at 90 days after full bloom. Among the treatments with different cluster weights, 93.5% grapes were harvested in the treatment with 350 g in cluster weight. 'Heukboseok' grape showed rapid maturation pattern with no significant difference in either soluble solids content or acidity between 90 days from 80 days after full bloom. Therefore, to prevent flesh softening, it is appropriate to harvest fruit at 90 days after full blooms, and both yield and cluster weight were important factors influencing the quality of the fruits in 'Heukboseok' grape. It is confirmed that coloring and firmness was influenced by the final yield and weight per cluster, respectively. Therefore, the yield should be set as grape of 1,500 kg per $990m^2$ in target yield, and cluster weight should be adjusted to 350 g to produce grape of 1,800 kg with the fruits of high quality. It is considered to be hard to produce grape of high quality with 700 g in cluster weight in 'Heukboseok' grape.
