In an attempt to establish the appropriate ventilation device for the bottle culture of king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii), we investigated carbon dioxide concentration and fruiting body formation according to the various ventilation systems within the mushroom house. In addition to, the efficiency of air circulation and growth rate as well as the appearance of physiologically abnormal phenotypes during their growth stage were also evaluated. four different ventilation devices, parallel-pressure type, positive-pressure type, negative-pressure type, and positive- and negative-pressure type were applied in this study. The positive-and negative-pressure type showed the highest efficiency of air circulation as $CO_2$ concentration was 800 ppm and the level of air current was relatively low compared to the other types (the $CO_2$ concentration of parallel-pressure type was 1,400 ppm). Moreover, the stipe length, the cap diameter, yield, and general quality grown in positive- and negative type ventilation device were also better than in the other three devices though it took slightly longer period for harvesting (18.4 days) than the others (17.6, 17.9 and 18.3 days). The appearance of physiologically abnormal phenotypes such as fruiting body lump, soft rot, and brown rot were significantly decreased in positive-and negative type compared to other types, while the appearance rates were not much different for other symptoms of bacterial ooze, stipe limb and stipe bumpy. In summary, we propose that the optimal ventilation system for the bottle culture of king oyster mushroom is positive- and negative type, and this device is expected to increase the total quality as well as yield all year around.

Skin blackening is a serious postharvest disorder occurring in 'Fuyu' persimmon fruits (Diospyros kaki, 'Fuyu'). Phenolic content, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) activity, and lipid saturation were investigated in skin tissue of 'Fuyu' fruits. The phenolic compounds were accumulated unevenly on fruit skin depending on sunlight exposure, i.e., the most accumulation on sunny side and the least on the opposite, shaded side. The fruits harvested from shaded branches inside the canopy showed relatively even distribution of phenolic compounds in the skin. The activity distribution of PPO and POD were also uneven but only in fruits suffering f rom skin b lackening disorder, w ith the h ighest and the lowest a ctivity of PPO and P OD, respectively, in the blackened area of the fruit. When the sunny, southern sides of fruits were marked at harvesting time and fruits were stored at low temperature, a round black spot, as a symptom of skin blackening disorder, developed during storage exactly on the marked region. In addition, the sunny side of fruit showed higher lipid saturation, thus indicating adaptation to high temperature caused by the sunlight. These results suggest that the skin blackening disorder of 'Fuyu' fruits can be considered as a kind of chilling injury symptom that develops on the high-temperature-acclimated skin tissue of sunlight-exposed fruits when they are later exposed to low temperature.

A Effect on physiological metabolism of microorganism which irradiated by visible light of non-ionization radiation(12,000 Lux) was investigated. The microorganism used in this experiment was a Rhodospirillum rubrum KS-301 of chemosynthetic microorganism. Batch fermentation of glucose were implement, and based on the data resulted from the fermentation. First, physiological characteristic of microorganism which was not irradiated was investigated. As a result, the decrease of the residual quantity of the substance(5.03 g/L - 2.17 g/L) was increased with the quantity of the bacteria(1.08 g/L - 3.14 g/L)and the quantity of the hydrogenous production(0.186 g - 0.3 g) respectively. Second, physiological characteristic of microorganism which was irradiated was investigated. As a result, the decrease of the residual quantity of the substance(13.17 g/L - 5.2 g/L) was increased with the quantity of the bacteria(4.7 g/L - 10.57 g/L)and the quantity of the hydrogenous production(0.186 g - 0.3 g) respectively. As the physiological characteristic of microorganism which was irradiated by visible light of non-ionization radiation(12,000 Lux) was active with its life, but the cell damages irradiated by with gamma-ray, X-ray, electron-ray in ionization radiation were appeared at cell.

One of the physiological disease, sudden wiliting of Yushin variety suggested that low sunlight, excessive nitrogen application, and highly reduced soil condions either singly or combined, might be possible causes of the disorder. Some visual symptom of sudden wilting are discoloration of leaves, development of nodal roots above the soil surface, total root rot, and lodging. Those observations led to the hypothesis that suffocation of root tissues was a direct cause of the wilting. The oxygen transport characteristics of Yushin, IR262 and Tongil were examined by two methods. First, Soil-cultured plants of the three varieties were subjected to paraffin treatment to decrease the oxygen supply from the air to root tissues through the soil-water system, liquid paraffin was applied to the water surface in the pots at panicle formation stage. In this experiment, sudden wilting was observed of Yushin and IR262 at about a week after the treatment, but Tongil remained green and healthy. Wilting-resistant variety Tongil had higher oxygen release, whereas the susceptible Yushin and IR262 had lower oxygen release. Second, the number and size of the air spaces in each internode were investigated in the 5th internode from the top, all three varieties have a similar number of air spaces, although the air spaces of Thongil were larger. In the 4th internode, Tongil had plenty air spaces, Yushin and one of the Yushin's parents IR262 had scanty or none. The observations indicated that the ability of Yushin and IR262 for oxygen transport is very limited compared with that of Tongil. The limited oxygen supply due to poor development of air space in internode of rice plants may cause suffocation of root tissues, weaken metabolic activity of the tissues, and induce root rot, subsequently inducing sudden wilting and lodging under unfavorable weather, soil and cultural conditions.

During storage at $25^{\circ}C$, the effect of gas absorbents, such as carbon dioxide scavenger, ethylene absorber, and their combinations, on respiration characteristics and quality attributes of mature-green Mume fruits packaged in $30\;{\mu}m$ low density polyethylene (LDPE) film was examined. Changes in quality attributes of the fruits were observed in terms of weight loss, titratable acidity, pH, fish firmness, color, water-soluble solid, and chlorophyll contents. In the presence of ethylene absorber $(KMnO_4)$, the physiological injury was remarkably suppressed, and there was no significant injury in Mume fruits at $25^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. Yellowing and softening were also noticeably reduced by the combination of plastic film packaging and inclusion of ethylene absorber. The respiration rate was slower in fruits sealed with ethylene absorber than in those with absorbent-free packaging. Using ethylene absorber, levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide were maintained at 2-3 and 7-8%, respectively, during storage at $25^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. The addition of carbon dioxide scavenger $(Ca(OH)_2)$, negatively affected the quality attributes and respiration characteristics of the fruits. Overall results showed that ethylene removal by gas absorbent in the film packages significantly prolonged the shelf life of the fruits at ambient temperature.

The bent peduncle phenomenon (BPP) is known as a kind of physiological disorders found in cut rose plants, which causes the reduction of cut flower yields. As yet unknown mechanisms, however, it has not been easy to find solutions for BPP. To address this challenge, this study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of floral morphology, growth, and endogenous phytohormone level of BPP shoots in cut rose plants (Rosa hybrida L. 'Beast'). Morphological observation confirmed the fact that BPP was accompanied by the early formation and being phyllody of a specific sepal among five sepals, which gave rise to peduncle bending in the upper part of the phyllody with fasciation. Year-round BPP frequency in 'Beast' cultivar was in the range of 5 to 20% with seasonal change, increasing rapidly with an average temperature rise in summer. Except bent peduncle, the BPP shoots appeared to grow normally in terms of speed and size of floral development in comparison with normal. However, carbohydrate distribution to the floral part in BPP shoots was significantly reduced. The level of endogenous IAA (3-Indoleacetic acid) within the floral part in BPP shoots was highly maintained during floral development, in contrast to normal shoots. $GA_3$ contents were not significantly different between normal and BPP shoots. This study indicates that BPP would be induced by a series of courses: abnormally early formation of a specific sepal relative to high temperature, being phyllody of the sepal with fasciation, and continuous supply of endogenous IAA by phyllody.

광은 식물의 광합성 작용뿐만 아니라 조직이나 기관의 분화, 종자의 발달 등 식물의 형태형성에도 관여하는 중요한 요인 중 하나이다. 불량한 광환경조건 하에서는 작물의 생육부진 뿐만 아니라 다양한 생리장해 및 병발생 등을 유발하기 때문에 경제적으로 광효율을 증가시키기 위하여 적절한 시설구조를 채택해야 한다. 또한 작물의 생육과 품질을 향상시키기 위하여 보광 및 차광 등 광환경 관리기술 개발이 요구된다. 본 연구에서 도입한 적외선램프는 새로운 인공광원으로서 태양광과 80% 정도 유사하고 용도에 따라 근적외선, 중적외선 및 원적외선이 방사되도록 할 수 있으며, 적은 전력소모량과 발생되는 열원은 겨울철 온풍난방기를 보조하거나 대체할 수 있어 에너지 절감효과를 동시에 기대할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 인공광원에 대한 기초연구로서 인공광원의 종류별 분광특성을 비교 분석하고, 일몰 후 적외선램프의 조사 시간이 배추와 상추 유묘의 생장에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 실시하였다.

This study was performed to isolated woild killer yeasts which might suppress the growth of contaminant yeasts during wine making. Seventeen strains of killer yeasts which were isolated from grapes in Korea showed different killing activity; higher with K109 and K112. and lower with K117 strain. There was no inhibition among the isolates by cross-reaction. Through the physiological, morphological and cultural test, the isolates were identified as a new killer yeast, Cadida dattila, and then named Candida dattila K101-K117.
