  • A photoresponse that results in organisms dispersing from a region of bright light. generally termed photodispersal, is frequently observed in some fishes notably including mud fish (Misgurunus mizolepis G${\"{U}}$NTHER). The primary assumption for this study was that the photodispersion may result from the behavioral strategies of fishes aimed to avoid illumination conditions that could injure the cells in skin tissues via photodynamic sensitization reactions. Here we present some preliminary results that seem to support this assumption : (1) the locomotive action of dark-adapted mud fish was triggered by the onset of illumination with light : (2) blue light (400-500nm) was much more effective in bringing about the locomotive activity than yellow (550-650nm) and red (650-800nm) lights : (3) two blue light absorbing pigments, which photogenerate activated oxygen species, were separated from the skin tissues of mud fish, one of these being identified as riboflavin.

  • Molecular markers developed from the flanking sequences of two cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS)-associated genes, orf456 and ${\Psi}atp6-2$, have been used for marker-assisted selection of CMS in pepper. However, in practice, the presence of orf456 and ${\Psi}atp6-2$ at substoichiometric levels even in maintainer lines hampers reliable selection of plants containing the CMS gene. In this study, we developed a novel CMS-specific molecular marker, accD-U, for reliable determination of CMS lines in pepper, and used the newly and previously developed markers to determine the cytoplasm types of pepper breeding lines and germplasms. This marker was developed from a deletion in a chloroplast-derived sequence in the mitochondrial genome of a CMS pepper line. CMS pepper lines could be unambiguously determined by presence or absence of the accD-U marker band. Application of orf456, ${\Psi}atp6-2$and accD-U to various pepper breeding lines and germplasms revealed that accD-U is the most reliable CMS selection marker. A wide distribution of orf456, but not ${\Psi}atp6-2$, in germplasms suggests that the pepper cytoplasm containing both orf456 and ${\Psi}atp6-2$ has been selected as CMS cytoplasm from cytoplasm containing only orf456. Furthermore, factors other than orf456 may be required for the regulation of male sterility in pepper.

  • Parent isolates and $first-generation(F_1)$ progenies from single-sporangium of Phytophthora infestans were investigated for the acqusition of metalaxyl and streptomycin sulfate(SM) resistance. The parent isolates, KM10, U6, CDB6 showed resistance to metalaxyl, and F817, DNC303, DN107 to SM. Especially, the average mycelial growth of $F_1$ progenies of F817, CDB6, JD1 was more than 51% than parent isolates on 25ppm metalaxyl added V-8 juice agar, whereas those of KM10, U6, JD1 were extended more than 51% similar on 200ppm SM treatment. They acquired resistance on the basis of the standard in this experiment. There were positive correlations between parent isolates and $F_1$colonies in resistance. The $F_1$ colonies obtained from parent isolates showing above interinediate resistance on metalaxyl amended agar acquired much resistance.

  • The effects of various antimicrobial agents on the production of organic acid and saccharifying amylase by Aspergillus usamii shirousamii $U_2$ were studied and the results are as follows. 1) The production of organic acid and saccharifying amylase was stimulated by using optimum amounts of nitrofurazone and $AF_2$ among several antimicrobial agents. 2) Wheat flour medium containing 50% volumes of 10 ppm $AF_2$ solution gave the maximum yield of organic acid. 3) Wheat bran medium containing 100% volumes of $100{\sim}500ppm$ nitrofurazone solution gave the maximum yield of saccharifying amylase.

  • A way to increase productivity in agriculture that is labor-centered industry is to graft IT technology. Today, many technologies in ubiquitous computing are deployed in all areas of society such as traffic control, automotive manufacturing, construction, defence, healthcare and clinical services. These IT technologies is gaining more attention as a fusion technology among traditional industries. To successfully build ubiquitous agriculture environment, it needs optimized core technology development for agriculture that includes sensor node H/W, middleware platform, routing protocol and agriculture environment application services. To achieve accurate botany growth environment management, we propose a green growth environment management system using environmental factor monitoring sensor and biological information sensors in greenhouse. By using our proposed system, it is expected to realize fusion complex agriculture technology with low cost.

  • This study was performed to evaluation the consolidation behavior of agricultural reservoir in the very soft ground. The final settlement prediction methods by Terzaghi, Hyperbolic and Asaoka methods were used to compare with the degree of consolidation estimated by exess pore water pressure. The dissipated excess pore water pressure during embankment construction and peak excess pore water pressure on the completed embankment were suggested for the estimation of the degree of consolidation. It was concluded that the degree of consolidation estimated from dissipated excess pore water pressure was more reliable than that from the peak excess pore water pressure. The stability methods for agricultural reservoir was used to compare and analyze with various condition by limit equilibrium method.

  • As technology develops, more advanced technologies involving GPS, GIS, RFID and sensor networks have been adopted in agriculture sector for u-Farm. However, technology adoptions have been evaluated as ineffective. Farmers and agri-business have low level of understanding on technology so it is not efficiently utilized. This study introduces a case of RFID/sensor networks of mushroom farm as a u-Farm case study, focusing on developing a framework for analysis of u-Farm investment returns. RFID and sensor networks improve real-time production control, processing management, and traceability. Integration of RFID and sensor networks leads to innovation into the mushroom farm, reducing labor cost, increasing productivity, and improving quality of the mushroom. The ROI which is used as an indicator of performance indicator is 413%.
