A new rose cultivar was developed from a cross between "Neon" and "Hello" by the rose breeding team of Gyeonggi-Do Agricultural Research and Extension Services in 1999. The cultivar, "Loving You" was finally selected in 2007 after evaluation trials for three years (2005-2007). The cultivar was developed for a standard-type cut flower with pink petals. "Loving You" grows vigorously and produces $108.5stems/m^2$ in a year, and has 50.2 petals per flower. The days to flower was 46 days, which is very short in rose. The length of cut flower was long with 76.8 cm. Vase-life of the cultivar could be as long as 11 days. The cultivar was applied for a variety protection in 2007.

This experiment was conducted to compare the change of growth and canopy photosynthesis between transplanting and direct seeding on paddy surface in rice. Total tiller number by the early vegetative growth stage was significantly higher in the direct seeding flooded paddy surface, while it was reversed from later vegetative growth stage in terms of tillering ability per unit period. But total panicle number was higher in direct seeding on paddy surface. Leaf area index, nitrogen content in leaf blade and canopy photosynthetic ability at later vegetative growth stage were lower in direct seeding on flooded paddy surface than transplanting. Biological yield at harvest stge, leaf area index and conopy photosynthetic activity at heading stage were gradually increasing according to nitrogen level increased both transplanting and direct seeding on paddy surface. Leaf area index, canopy photosynthetic activity, however, were lower in direct seeding on paddy surface than transplanting in the same nitrogen level. Nitrogen content per unit leaf area was high in transplanting.

Plug seedlings of bell pepper(Capsicum annuum L.) were grown for 50 days in controlled environment chambers under 12 hrs per day photoperiodic condition with sixteen different day and night temperature regimes to investigate the possibility of height control. The seedlings were then transplanted to greenhouse to investigate the growth, flowering, and yield afterward. Plant height and stem length of seedlings were mainly affected by day temperature rather than night temperature. Internode elongation was suppressed by a negative DIF and was enhanced by a positive DIF even with the same average daily temperature (ADT). Leaf unfolding rate was influenced more by ADT than by DIF. Fresh and dry weights increased as ADT increased. Leaf area and stem diameter increased until temperature increased up to 24$^{\circ}C$ day and night temperature and decreased above 24$^{\circ}C$, The position at which the first flower was initiated was lowered as ADT increased. The first flower degeneration was not obvious up to 24$^{\circ}C$ ADT but increased rapidly above 24$^{\circ}C$ ADT. Seedling compactness(Dry weight per plant height :mg.mm$^{-1}$ ) was greater under -DIF than +DIF condition. In conclusion, DIF treatment was an applicable technique to control stem elongation and growth rate such as leaf unfolding rate and position at which first flower was initiated could be controlled by ADT.

The soil moisture content and its relation to plants may be important in determining the crop growth and yield. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the leaf water potential and photosynthetic activity in soybean plants as affected by the timing of soil water stress. The soybean variety, 'Tachinagaha', was grown in a pot. The 15 day-old seedlings were subject to the three levels of soil moisture content(25, 40 and 55%) for 25 days. Then the treated soybean plants were placed again at the level of 25% soil moisture content for 25 days, and were compared with the control which was well-watered at 40% level for whole growth period. Soybean plants grown under continuous drought showed higher apparent photosynthetic rate(AP) than those under well-watering /drought in the first /second water treatment, suggesting that AP was adjusted after previous acclimation to drought. Over a wide range of photosynthetic photon flux densities(PPFD), drought or excessive water stress resulted in the decrease in AP when compared with the control. AP and stomatal conductance were decreased in soybean plants subject to water deficit stress, suggesting that AP and stomatal conductance were more sensitive to drought than excessive water stress.

현재 우리나라에서 매년 생산되는 농산부산물은 볏짚, 왕겨 등이 주를 이루는데 에너지원으로서 적당한 것은 왕겨이다 하지만 왕겨는 단순히 농업의 부산물로 여겨질 정도로 농민들의 소득증대에의 기여도가 매우 낮다. 또한 왕겨는 내외피가 규소로 치밀하게 피복되어 있으므로 부식퇴기 어려움에도 불구하고 왕겨를 축사의 깔개로 이용 후 퇴비화함에 따라 농지내 왕겨 환원속도가 부식속도 보다 빨라서 토양속에 미부식 왕겨가 누적되어 농지내 토양환경을 열악하게 하고 있으며 왕겨를 축사내 깔개로 이용함에 따라 어린 가축의 생육장애 등이 제기피고 있으며 장래에는 악취로 인한 대기오염 문제와 가축의 질병 문제 등이 추가로 제기될 가능성이 많다.

생물재료인 식품의 성분 중에서 물은 식품의 주요기능인 영양기능(1차기능), 기호기능(2차기능), 생체 조절기능(3차기능)의 관점에서 무시되는 경우가 많으나 식품의 수송, 보존, 가공 공정에서 직접적으로 제어해야 하는 대상이므로 가장 먼저 고려해야 할 존재이다. 일반적으로 식품의 보존 공정에서 수분활성은 여러 가지의 화학반응, 효소반응, 미생물의 생육속도 등에 영향을 미치게 된다. 특히, 미생물 생육을 위해서는 높은 수분 활성을 필요로 하므로, 수분활성을 제어함으로써 미생물의 제어가 가능하다. 따라서 저온의 이용도 기본적으로는 미생물 및 수분의 활성제어를 위한 공정이라고 말할 수 있다. 최근에는 수분의 활성을 억제하기 위하여 어류의 냉각공정에 사용되는 빙수를 해수나 수도수가 아닌 해양 심층수를 이용함으로써 미생물의 활성을 제어하는 연구가 진행 중이다.

The large amount of $CO_2$ emitted from mushrooms during incubation and developmental stages can be utilized in plant production systems as a $CO_2$ source. The objectives of this study were to measure the $CO_2$ emission and absorption rates of mushroom and lettuce, respectively, and to analyze the $CO_2$ concentrations at various ratios of mushroom and lettuce in a closed production system. The $CO_2$ emission rate of king oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii ( DC.) Qu$\acute{e}$l) and $CO_2$ absorption rate of lettuces (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Asia Heuk Romaine) were measured by using two closed acryl chambers ($1.0m{\times}0.8m{\times}0.5m$) in which indoor temperatures were maintained at $18^{\circ}C$ and $22^{\circ}C$, respectively. The lettuce was grown at a light intensity of PPF $340mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ and with nutrient solution at EC $1.2dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. The air was periodically circulated between the two chambers using a diaphragm pump. The $CO_2$ emission rate of the mushroom increased until the $15^{th}$ day after scratching (DAS) and then decreased. The rate also increased with increased indoor temperature. In particular, the $CO_2$ emission rate per fresh weight of fruit body increased by about 3.1 times after thinning compared to before thinning. In terms of $CO_2$ balance, the $CO_2$ emission rates from a bottle (950 mL) of the mushroom at 9, 12, and 14 DAS were equivalent to those of 3, 4.5, and 5.5 lettuce plants at 7, 10, and 12 DAT (days after transplanting), respectively. This work shows that balance in $CO_2$ concentration could be achieved using an appropriate ratio of the two crops in a closed production system.

Various conditions of acetic acid fermentation by Acetobacter aceti B20 strain were investigated and evaluated to optimize the fermentative production of acetic acid. The effects of the initial ethanol concentration on growth and acid productivity in a flask and fermentor were also studied. The growth of A. aceti B20 strain was inhibited as the concentration of ethanol increased. However, the highest total acidity and fermentation yield were 5.34% and 56.1%, respectively when the initial concentration of ethanol was 7% in the batch fermentation. Although the concentration of initial glucose influenced the growth rate of B20 strain, it did not influence the total acidity in the flask culture. When the agitation speed increased, the growth, total acidity and fermentation yield were all improved. In fed-batch fermentation, total acidities and fermentation yields were 7.14-8.76% and 39.1-53.0%, respectively, and their values mostly depended on the feeding methods.

The photosynthetic rates of crops depend on growth environment factors, such as light intensity and temperature, and their photosynthetic efficiencies vary with growth stage. The objective of this study was to compare two different models expressing canopy photosynthetic rates of romaine lettuce (Lactuca sativa L., cv. Asia Heuk romaine) using three variables of light intensity, temperature, and growth stage. The canopy photosynthetic rates of the plants were measured 4, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after transplanting at closed acrylic chambers ($1.0{\times}0.8{\times}0.5m$) using light-emitting diodes, in which indoor temperature and light intensity were designed to change from 19 to $28^{\circ}C$ and 50 to $500{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, respectively. At an initial $CO_2$ concentration of $2,000{\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$, the canopy photosynthetic rate began to be calculated with $CO_2$ decrement over time. A simple multiplication model expressed by simply multiplying three single-variable models and a modified rectangular hyperbola model were compared. The modified rectangular hyperbola model additionally included photochemical efficiency, carboxylation conductance, and dark respiration which vary with temperature and growth stage. In validation, $R^2$ value was 0.849 in the simple multiplication model, while it increased to 0.861 in the modified rectangular hyperbola model. It was found that the modified rectangular hyperbola model was more suitable than the simple multiplication model in expressing the canopy photosynthetic rates affected by environmental factors (light Intensity and temperature) and growth factor (growth stage) in plant factory modules.

The effect of high and low temperatures on seedling quality while raising of paprika (Capsicum annuum L.) seedlings, and their early development after planting was investigated. The control raising seedling temperature (RST) was $23^{\circ}C$; high temperature, $31^{\circ}C$; and low temperature, $15^{\circ}C$ throughout the raising seedling period. At $15^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$, plant height, stem diameter, fresh weight, dry weight, number of leaves, and seedling leaf area were significantly lower than those at $23^{\circ}C$. At 4 weeks after planting, seedling's growth characteristics showed a similar pattern. Compared to $23^{\circ}C$, seedlings raised at $15^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$ had an increased dry weight and leaf area per unit time after planting than during the seedling raising period. At 4 weeks after planting, crop growth rate and leaf area index were unaffected by RST, and relative growth rate and net assimilation rate at RSTs of $15^{\circ}C$ and $31^{\circ}C$ were higher than those those at RST of $23^{\circ}C$. At an RST of $15^{\circ}C$, growth speed and net assimilation rates were higher after planting than before planting, according to increased photosynthetic rate. Thus, high and low temperatures during the seedling raising period significantly reduced seedling growth and plant growth after planting. After planting, seedlings raised at $15^{\circ}C$ recovered more quickly than did those raised at $31^{\circ}C$.
