Root colonization by the rhizobacterium Pseudomonas chlororaphis O6 in Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 plants resulted in induced tolerance to drought and salinity caused by halide salt-generated ionic stress but not by osmotic stress caused by sorbitol. Stomatal apertures decreased following root colonization by P. chlororaphis O6 in both wild-type and ABA-insensitive Arabidopsis mutant plants. These results suggest that an ABA-independent stomatal closure mechanism in the guard cells of P. chlororaphis O6-colonized plants could be a key phenotype for induced systemic tolerance to drought and salt stress.

These studies were conducted to discriminate Cynanchum wilfordii, C. auriculatum, Metaplexis japonica, and Polygonum multiflorum by morphological characters. Cynanchum wilfordii, C. auriculatum, and Metaplexis japonica(Asclepiadaceae) were easily distinguished from Polygonum multiflorum by twining stem to the left, producing opposite leaves, having laticiferous stems and leaves at cutting cross-sectionally, and lacking lignification of the stem. Four species had different morphological characters of flower. Comparing four species to fruit type, three species of Asclepiadaceae had follicle, while Polygonum multiflorum had achene with three wings. Follicle shape was lanceolate, narrowly lanceolate, and widely lanceolate in C. wilfordii, C. auriculatum, and Metaplexis japonica, respectively. Whereas seed color of four species was dark brown similarly, seed shape and 1,000 seed weight were useful characters to discrimate between three species of Asclepiadaceae and Polygonum multiflorum. Shape and color of root were thickened and yellowish brown in C. wilfordii and C. auriculatum. They were thin and long and white in Metaplexis japonica, and fusiform and reddish brown in Polygonum multiflorum. They would be useful characters to distinguish Cynanchum spp., Metaplexis japonica, and Polygonum multiflorum, however, impossible characters to discriminate between C. wilfordii and C. auriculatum.

The patterns of adventitious root formation from cotyledons for each cultivar of soybeans were compared. The results of adventitious root formation in cultivars are classified as two groups; the first group showed the direct adventitious root formation, and the second group resulted in the callus and adventitious root formation. The cultivars that have much callus formation had less the adventitious root formation. The adventitious root formation in the cotyledonary explants was occured only at the inoculation of adaxial side. When adaxial and abaxial side was inoculated simultaneously, the adventitious roots were formed at the adaxial side. Thus, it suggests that there must be direction to some extent. Starch in the cotyledonary explants were more abundant at the 4 days after induction than at the early stage of the adventitious root formation, but the starch was not observed after 7 days, that the growth stage of adventitious roots.

This study was performed in order to analyse the morphology of maxillary sinus on orthopantomogram. The author anlaysed the anterior-posterior width of mesial wall, the extension of anterior margin in maxillary sinus and the interrelation between the root apex of maxillary 1st molar and sinus floor. The films consisted of 514 orthopantomograms divided into three groups ranging the 3rd decade, 4th and 5th decade and 6th decade. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The mean dimensions of the anterior - posterior width of mesial wall were 43.81±4.55㎜ for male and 43.80±4.49㎜for female in the right of maxillary sinus, 43.75±74㎜ for male and 43.37±3.92㎜ for female. 2. With age, the dimensional change of the anterior - posterior width of mesial wall in maxillary sinus was not observed. 3. The extension order of anterior margin of the maxillary sinus was distal to canine side, 1st premolar mesial side, canine mesial side, and 1st premolar distal side. 4. In the distance between the root apex of upper 1st molar and the maxillary sinus floor, the degree of closeness was more increased in the older-aged group than in the younger-aged group.

A wilt disease occurred on greenhouse-grown eggplants at Yeojoo, Korea in 1997. The wilted eggplants had leaves with gradual yellowing, interveinal necrosis, and marginal crinkling. Vascular tissues of diseased stems were discolored, turned black, and microsclerotia developed at the base of stems. The disease progressed from lower parts of the plants upward. Fungal isolates from discolored vascular tissues were initially whitish to cream color on potato-dextrose agar (PDA) plate, which later turned black due to the formation of microsclerotia. Conidiophores were erect, hyaline, verticillately branched, and had 3 or 4 phialides arising at each node. Phialides were hyaline, arranged in whorls, and measured as 17.5-32.5 x 2-3$\mu\textrm{m}$. Conidia were hyaline, ellipsoidal to sub-cylindrical, mainly one-celled, and measured as 5-8.8 x 2-4$\mu\textrm{m}$. Conidia were borne in small clusters at the tips of phialides. Microsclerotia formed on PDA plates, and consisted of globular cells that formed irregular masses of various shapes. Chlamydospores were absent. Based on these cultural and morphological characteristics, the fungus was identified as Verticillium dahliae Klebahn. Pathogenicity tests by root cutting, root dipping or soil drenching resulted in similar symptoms observed in the naturally infected eggplants. This is the first report on occurrence of Verticillium wilt of eggplant in Korea.

This paper investigates the impact of the forecast error on performance of a reservoir system for hydropower production. Forecast error is measured as th Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and parametrically varied within a Generalized Maintenance Of Variance Extension (GMOVE) procedure. A set of transition probabilities are calculated as a function of the RMSE of the GMOVE procedure and then incorporated into a Bayesian Stochastic Dynamic Programming model which derives monthly operating policies and assesses their performance. As a case study, the proposed methodology is applied to the Skagit Hydropower System (SHS) in Washington state. The results show that the system performance is a nonlinear function of RMSE and therefor suggested that continued improvements in the current forecast accuracy correspond to gradually greater increase in performance of the SHS.

Large economic losses have been reported by root-knot nematide, Meloidogyne incognita, in Korea. However, fewy environmentally-friendly nematicide alternatives for the control of M. incognita have been developed. This study was conducted of Korean native plants to screen nematicidal activity which could be used by organic farmers. Methanol extracts (1,000 mg $L^{-1}$) from fifty-three Korean native plants were applied to 24-well tissue culture testplates containing $1\times10^2$ M incognita and the nematicidal activities were determined. Nematicidal activities of the methanol extracts in common purslain (Portulaca oleraceae L.) and water mouse-ear-chickweed (Stellaria aquatica Scop.) were 60.0% and 40.6%, respectively, compared with that of control, however, those of other forty-one plants were less than 30%. Our results suggest that the methanol extracts of common purslain and water mouse-ear-chickweed contain nematicidal active compounds.

The purpose of this study was to compare the electromyography (EMG) activities of the lumbar extensor muscles during motion of trunk flexion-extension and compare range of motion (ROM) with a 3-dimensional motion analysis system of the lumbar region between subjects with chronic low back pain (CLBP) and healthy subjects during the trunk flexion-extension, trunk rotation and trunk lateral flexion cycle. Thirty CLBP subjects and thirty healthy subjects were included. We measured the root mean square (RMS) value of the lumbar extensor muscles from resting, standing, lumbar flexion and return position. The RMS ratio was normalized from maximal EMG activity of the lumbar extensor muscles during trunk motion. The results of this study showed that the RMS ratio of the lumbar extensor was significantly higher in CLBP subjects than healthy subjects during all of trunk motion (p<.05). The ratio of the highest RMS value during flexion and extension was higher in CLBP subjects than in healthy subjects (p<.05). The ROM of the lumbar region was significantly lower in CLBP subjects than healthy subjects during trunk flexion-extension, trunk rotation and lateral flexion cycle. The relationship between the RMS ratio for full lumbar flexion and the ROM of lumbar flexion was not correlated significantly. CLBP subjects have both decreased ROM of the lumbar region and higher muscle activities of the lumbar extensor muscle than healthy subjects.

Objectives: This study evaluated by using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) the filling ability and sealer apical extrusion promoted by a new Sealer Injection System (SIS; Angelus) with side openings needle, in comparison with the conventional injection system, associated with a new ready-to-use calcium silicate-based sealer (Bio-C Sealer). Materials and Methods: Acrylic resin models containing a main curved artificial canal and 3 simulated lateral canals in apical, middle and cervical thirds were used. The main root canals were prepared using a rotary system up to size 35.05. The canals were filled with Bio-C sealer by using a single cone technique and the conventional delivery system or SIS. Samples were scanned in micro-CT. The percentage of voids throughout the entire extension of the main root canal and in each third of the lateral canals, besides the apical extrusion of the sealer was calculated. Data were submitted to t-test (p < 0.05). Results: There was no difference between both systems in the main root canals filling. Although the volume percentage of voids was similar in the apical and middle thirds of lateral canals, SIS had the greatest filling ability of the cervical third lateral canal. Moreover, the conventional system showed the highest apical extrusion of the sealer. Conclusions: The conventional and SIS obturation systems had an appropriate filling ability of the main root canal. SIS had the best filling of the cervical third of the lateral canals, besides lower sealer apical extrusion, suggesting its clinical indication.
