Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient required for plant growth and crop production. However, N in soil is usually insufficient for plant growth. Thus, chemical N fertilizer has been extensively used to increase crop production. Due to negative effects of N rich fertilizer on the environment, improving N usage has been a major issue in the field of plant science to achieve sustainable production of crops. For that reason, many efforts have been made to elucidate how plants regulate N uptake and utilization according to their surrounding habitat over the last 30 years. Here, we provide recent advances focusing on regulation of N uptake, allocation of N by N transporting system, and signaling pathway controlling N responses in plants.

본 연구는 인천광역시 석모도에 위치한 해명산 일대의 관속식물상과 해명산 일대 및 주변 산림 지역 14곳의 침입외래식물을 비교하여, 조사된 식물들의 모니터링 체계구축과 생물다양성의 증진 및 보전을 위한 기초자료로 활용하기 위하여 연구를 수행하였다. 조사는 2019년 4월부터 2020년 10월까지 총 19회에 걸쳐 수행되었다. 해명산 일대의 관속식물상은 총 107과 382속 616종 15아종 55변종 8품종 694분류군으로 파악되었다. 이는 우리나라 관속식물 총 4,641분류군의 약 14.95%가 해당된다. 석모도 해명산 일대에서 조사된 한반도북방계식물은 81분류군, 한반도 특산식물은 총 17분류군이 확인되었다. 이중에서 해명산에서는 애기닭의장풀 등 6분류군, 낙가산에서 은사시나무 등 4분류군, 상봉산에서 닥나무 등 7분류군이 확인되었다. 산림청 지정 희귀식물은 12분류군이 확인되었다. 식물구계학적 특정식물 I~V은 총 79분류군으로 파악되었다. V등급은 솔붓꽃 1분류군, IV등급은 큰쐐기풀, 돌갈매나무 등 5분류군, III등급은 노랑하늘타리, 선갈퀴 등 17분류군으로 확인되었다. 염생식물은 총 37분류군으로 해안·사구식물이 19분류군, 암반식물 2분류군, 비염생식물이 3분류군으로 확인되었다. 해명산 일대에서 관찰된 침입외래식물은 소리쟁이, 달맞이꽃 등 66분류군으로 확인되었다. 석모도 및 주변지역 14곳에서 출현한 침입외래식물은 126분류군이고, 전체 126분류군 중에서 14곳 전체에서 출현한 식물은 개망초, 돼지풀, 망초, 미국쑥부쟁이 등 7분류군으로 파악되었다. 하지만 40%에 육박하는 48분류군이 일부 지역에서만 출현하였으나, 향후 확산이 불가피해 보인다. 따라서 석모도 해명산 일대의 특기할만한 식물 등 자생식물에 대한 중장기적인 보전방안을 마련하고 체계적인 관리 대책을 조속하게 수립해야 할 것이다.

The life cycle of butterflies is closely related to the growth of food plants and, through a prolonged coevolutionary process, has undergone an ecological adaptation. So, it is important that control the egg-laying number and place to secure enough food plant by female adult to guarantee the survival of the larvae. To study whether oviposition control of the Luehdorfia puziloi takes into greater consideration food plant leaf biomass or leaf abundance, correlation among the egg cluster size, the leaf size, and the number of leaves around egg clusters was investigated. According to the results, the egg clusters size exhibited positive correlation with the leaf size of food plants on which eggs had been laid but did not do so with the number of surrounding leaves. In addition, the number of egg clusters laid exhibited positive correlation with the number of surrounding food plant leaves but not with the leaf size on which eggs had been laid. Consequently, for the Luehdorfia puziloi, the females' recognition of the leaf size seems to be the most important factor in the egg cluster size, and the number of egg clusters had positive correlation with food plant density per unit area.

플랜트 하부 강파일 기초 주변 토양의 부식성을 평가하기 위해서 현장조사, 현장 보링작업을 통한 시료 채취 및 실험실 분석을 거친 결과를 검토하였다. 토양 분석 결과 강관파일이 타설된 토양은 여러 개의 특성이 다른 토양층으로 구성되어 있었으며, 각 지층의 화학적, 물리적 성질이 다르므로 강관파일의 타설깊이에 따른 부식성의 차이가 발생할 것을 예상할 수 있었다. 분석 결과를 토대로 정성적인 부식성 평가, 평균부식속도 및 최대부식속도를 예측한 결과, 일부 지층에서는 일반적으로 강관파일 설계시 적용되는 부식속도인 0.01-0.02mm/y 이상의 평균부식속도를 보이고 있었다 (0.33mm/y).

The purpose of this study was to identify the origin of diversity of costume material caused by environmental difference. For this purpose, this research involved theoretical studies and studies based on historical data obtained from previous related studies. The common truth was proved that environmental including the geographical distribution of plants and animals determines costume material. Also, It was found that the unique traditional costume styles were developed through unique combination of costume material and their culture. The major results of this study are as follow : 1. The traditional costume of North American Indian was well-developed and closely related to geographical distribution of plants and animals. Also, their costume was so diverse that it could not be categorized. 2. The traditional costume of North American Indian showed ideal har mony between nature and human being surrounding environment into their costume. 3. The application of plants and animal materials into their costume was one of the environment-friendly human activity and it seems to give us an important message.

Plants are able to recognize even small changes in surrounding temperatures to optimize their growth and development. At warm temperatures, plants exhibit diverse architectural adjustments, including hypocotyl and petiole elongation, leaf hyponasty, and reduced stomatal density. However, it was previously unknown how such warm temperatures affected the early stages of seedling development. In our recent study, we demonstrated that the RNA-binding protein, FCA, is critical for sustaining chlorophyll biosynthesis during early seedling development, which is a prerequisite for autotrophic transition at warm temperatures. FCA plays a dual role in this thermal response. It inhibits the rapid degradation of protochlorophyllide oxidoreductases (PORs) that mediate chlorophyll biosynthesis. In addition, it induces the expression of POR genes at the chromatin level, which contributes to maintaining functional enzyme levels. Our findings provide molecular basis for the thermal adaptation of chlorophyll biosynthesis during the early stages of seedling development in nature.

The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of recovery from psychological stress when watching plants indoors. As an instrument of measurement of psychological stress, Galvanic Skin Resistance(GSR) has been used because it has been convenient to read a psychological sign without a medical sense and an instrument. In order to make the conditions of stress and recovery, video programs have been made, and especially, the video program of recovery has consisted of three types-- types 1 of watching plants in a botanical garden, type 2 of watching very bush street, and type 3 of closing eyes naturally. The two groups of normal and the mentally handicapped persons have been participated in this experiment to compare the effect of recovery. As the result of this test, the rate of stress relief has been maximumly effected by watching the video program of plants. Between the two groups the recovery of stress has had better effects on the mentally handicapped than the normal one. And also it shows that the circumstances of emotional refinement is led by having plants in indoor. The result of this test has been turned out to be highly useful. It is desirable that a indoor worker, staying for a long time, contact with plants visually to keep healthy mental conditions. This study suggests that the surrounding conditions or the settings of circumstances play an important role for the emotional refinement of the groups of mentally han야capped persons as well as the normal person.

To evaluate heat environment surrounding plants diurnal change of leaf temperature in the broad-leaved deciduous and evergreen trees was measured with microclimatic environmental factors including global solar radiation, and upward and downward long wave radiation. Maximum daily solar radiation was 961.2 and 976.3 w/$m^2$ in August 9 and 23, respectively. Upward long wave radiation was slightly higher than downward long wave radiation, showing 404.2 w/$m^2$ in August 9 and 394.5 w/$m^2$ in August 23. In addition, daily maximum vapor pressure deficit was 5.42 and 6.84 kPa in August 9 and 23, respectively, indicating high evaporative demand. Quercus glauca and Acer mono was differently responded to changing light regimes. On August 9, leaf temperature at the top-positioned leaves of Acer plants was higher than air temperature as well as those of Quercus plants in the morning. This indicates that stomata in Acer plants were closed by heat stress or water stress in the morning, while Quercus plant maintained active transpiration by opening stomata. These results indicated that improved light regimes such as gap opening in the closed forest may not always affect positively in the physiology of understory plants.

제주지역 노지감귤에서 2007년부터 볼록총채벌레 Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood에 의한 피해가 증가하고 있으나 시기별 발생특성에 관한 연구는 명확하지 못한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 감귤원 주변에 분포하고 있는 볼록총채벌레의 기주식물 종류와 이와 연관된 발생특성을 구명하였다. 감귤원 주변에서 조사된 볼록총채벌레의 기주식물은 수목류 23과 39종, 초본류 10과 15종으로 총 32과 54종이었다. 조사된 기주식물 중 볼록총채벌레 제1세대 발생과 관련된 것은 인동덩굴과 사위질빵, 송악, 아왜나무였으며, 이들 식물에 월동성충이 3월 하순~4월 상순에 산란하여 성충이 4월 하순~5월 하순에 발생되는 것으로 추정되었다. 감귤 피해와 관련된 기주식물은 예덕나무와 동백나무 그리고 사위질빵, 계요등, 거지덩굴 같은 덩굴성 식물이었다. 황색끈끈이트랩을 감귤나무와 감귤원 경계에 설치하여 볼록총채벌레의 시기별 발생밀도를 조사한 결과 비슷한 발생양상을 보였으며, 연간 7세대를 경과하는 것으로 추정되었다. 감귤 열매에 피해를 주는 시기는 6월 하순~7월 상순과 8월 하순~9월 상순으로 어린 열매와 성숙 초기 2회에 걸쳐 피해를 주며, 이는 각각 볼록총채벌레 제 3세대와 제 6세대 성충 발생 최성기와 일치하였다. 볼록총채벌레 발생밀도는 기주식물의 새순 발생량에 따라 차이가 컸으며, 감귤원 주변 기주식물에서 번식한 후 감귤나무로 이동하여 피해를 주는 것으로 나타났다.
