본 연구는 상추 '피델'을 이용한 완전제어형 식물공장에서의 재배를 하기 위해 기존의 배양액에 생육 촉진용 AMG의 농도를 구명하고 그에 맞는 매뉴얼을 확립하기 위해 실시하였다. 실험은 기존 배양액에 AMG(고활성 칼슘용액+복합 활성 미네랄)를 추가하였으며 '피델'의 생육에 적합한 AMG의 농도는 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2%를 양액에 추가하여 5반복 4처리로 진행하였다. 생육 조사 항목은 초폭, 초장, 엽장, 엽폭, 엽록소, 생체중을 조사하였다. '피델'의 생장에서 초폭, 엽폭, 엽장은 3주차부터 생장량이 급증하였으며 AMG 4처리구 5주차 조사에서는 초폭 평균 335g, 357g, 369g, 381g을 나타냈으며 엽폭은 평균 168g, 191g, 202g, 208g, 엽장 평균 129g, 134g, 144g, 144g으로 조사되었다. AMG 농도 0.1~0.2%는 통계적으로 생장 촉진 효과가 나타났으나 유의차가 크지 않아 0.1% AMG가 적정한 것으로 판단되었다. 엽록소함량의 경우 정식 2주차 이후서부터는 SPAD 평균 29~32로 기록되어 엽록소함량은 크게 변화하지 않았다. 또한 엽수의 증가폭에 비해 생체중의 증가폭이 컸으며 생체중의 경우 정식 3주부터 5주 사이에 생체중이 5배 이상 급증하는 생장 패턴을 나타내었다. 5주차 생체중에서는 0% AMG의 경우 평균 82g, 0.05% AMG는 평균 85g, 0.1% AMG는 평균 115g, 그리고 0.2% AMG는 평균 114g으로 조사되었다. 따라서 0.1~0.2% AMG에서는 차이가 없게 나타남에 따라 생장촉진을 위해서는 0.1% AMG를 추가하는 것이 적정하다고 판단되었다.

Bacillus velezensis YC7010 is an endophytic bacterium isolated from the rice rhizosphere in Jinju, Republic of Korea, with properties conductive to growth promotion, antibiosis and induced systemic resistance to significant, soil-borne rice fungal and bacterial pathogens. The genome of B. velezensis YC7010 comprises a 3,975,683 bp circular chromosome which consists of 3,790 protein-coding genes (86tRNA and 27rRNA genes). Based on genomic analysis, we identified genes involved in colonization and establishment inside the plant, biosynthesis of antibiotic compounds such as surfactin, plipapastatin, bacillibactin, and bacillaene, as well as the production of the phytohormones and volatile compounds which serve to promote the plants growth and development.

Chryseobacterium sp. strain T16E-39, isolated from roots of a tomato plant, promotes plant growth and suppresses phytophthora blight and bacterial wilt diseases. The complete genome of strain T16E-39 consists of a circular chromosome with 4,872,888 base pairs with a G + C content of 35.22%. The genome includes 4,289 coding sequences, 15 rRNAs, and 71 tRNAs. We detected genes involved in phosphate solubilization, phytohormone regulation, antioxidant activity, chitin degradation, and the type IX secretion system (T9SS) that may be related to growth promotion and disease suppression in plants.

In the course of search for multifunctional microbial inoculants, three Bacillus strains (BS11-1,BS11-2,BS11-3) with biological control and biofertilizing effects were selected. In this study, their ability for solubilization of insoluble phosphate, production of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), siderophore, and hydrolytic enzymes, and antagonism against phytopathogenic fungi were estimated. All strains produced IAA and siderophore depending on culture time and produced a visible clear zone on agar plate containing 0.5% carboxylmethyl cellulose as a carbon source. Also, these strains exhibited antifungal activities against phytopathogenic fungi, Botrytis cinerea, Cylindrocarpon destructans, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, and Phytophthora capsici.

To exploit plant growth promoting bacteria in the roots of Miscanthus sacchariflorus, a biomass energy crop, total 64 bacteria were isolated. For the investigation of plant growth promoting effects from the isolated bacteria, production of indole acetic acid (IAA) and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase activities were tested and other cultural conditions were examined. As results, 8 isolates showed plant growth promoting effects on the M. sacchariflorus and an isolate designated Agrobacterium sp. BE516 has the highest activity by enhancing the shoot elongation over 2-fold than the control. Agrobacterium sp. BE516 produced 64 ${\mu}g$ IAA per mL and showed ACC deaminase activity which is involved in the resistance to environmental stress such as high salt and drought. It could grow at low temperature in the range from 4 to $15^{\circ}C$, at pH 4.0 and at 4% NaCl. These results indicate that the Agrobacterium sp. BE516 can be useful as a bio-fertilizer for M. sacchariflorus under the stressed conditions.

Endophytic fungi predominantly inhabit grasses, and produce a variety of beneficial metabolites for plant growth, as well as help their hosts against pathogens and herbivores. Current study was focused on plant growth promoting activity of endophytic fungi inhabited in the roots of sand dune grasses. We collected 49 fungal isolates from the roots of four most common sand dune grasses and screened them for their growth promoting capacity. Results showed that 37 fungal isolates (75.5%) promoted plant height and shoot length of waito-c rice, 11 fungal isolates (22.5%) suppressed it, while 1 fungus (2%) showed no effect on the growth attributes. The fungal strain Gibberella fujikuroi, along with distilled water and Czapek broth medium, were taken as control for this experiment. It was concluded that a major proportion of endophytic fungi inhabited in the sand dune plants produce metabolites, and thus help in growth and development of the host plant.

The civil engineering materials used to stabilize the slopes of new riverbanks have a great impact on the types and growth of vegetation introduced after the completion of construction procedure. Recently, microbial-derived, ${\beta}$-glucan- and xanthan gum-based biopolymers are attracting attention as an ecofriendly strengthening material of riverbanks that can possibly stimulate plant growth. This study aimed to assess ecological effects of biopolymer application on native plants in Korean riverbanks. In particular, since dominant plant species could shape characteristics of an ecosystem, we examined the effects of biopolymer on the dominant plant species in riverbanks. Overall, biopolymer did not affect seed germination rates of testing plant species. In contrast, plants grew more vigorously in the soil mixed with biopolymer compared to those in the control soil. The biomass of Echinochloa crus-galli especially increased around two times more in the biopolymer treatment. Plants produced heavier root biomass and leaves with larger specific leaf area, which possibly contributes to the tolerance of environmental stress like drought. These results suggest that biopolymers treated on river banks are expected to stimulate plant growth and increase stress tolerance of domestic dominant plant species.

Crude extracts of 4 Allium SPP. such as welsh onion, onion, chinese chives and garlic were purified by paper chromatography and these activities were bio-assayed with rice seedlings. The stem and leaf slices of Allium spp. were treated and rice seedlings were planted in the soil to know the effect of its application on rice growth. The weak acidic fraction of Allium SPP. enhanced the growth and rooting of rice seedlings and had greater activity in promoting than in inhibiting the growth on rice seedling. Elongation of the second leaf sheath of the rice seedlings were not influenced by the extracts of Allium SPP. The stem and leaf application 10 days before transplanting, increased the number of effective tiller remarkably. Especially, the application of 50~400g welsh onion and 50~200g onions increased the number of spikelets per panicle compared to standard fertilization. But, in application of larger amounts, the-death rate of the rice seedlings after transplanting was higher in the stem and leaf application 10 days before transplanting than the one applied on the transplanting day. In particular, treatments of chinese chives and garlic showed higher death rate than those of welsh onion or onion. The stem and leaf application of Allium SPP. resulted in high yield than standard fertilization.

Chitin and its derivatives have been introduced to tomato seedlings by direct mixing of chitin, chitosan, or chitooligosaccharides (CO) with soils, watering of chitosan or CO solutions to soils, or chitosan-coating of tomato seeds as a biomodulator of plant growth, and the growth of tomato plants was measured 30- and 45-day after seeding in the pots. The treatment of chitin and its derivatives promoted the growth of tomato plants in plant heights, shoot weight, maximum leaf length and number of leaves. By comparison in the contents of cellular inorganic nutrients in the plants, it was found out that chitin or chitosan treatments accelerated nitrogen and potassium uptake but inhibit calcium uptake, suggesting that chitin and its derivatives modulate absorption of inorganic nutrients through plant roots from environment.

Bacillus velezensis T20E-257 was isolated from the root tissue of a tomato plant and exhibited plant growth-promoting activity. Here we present the complete genome of strain T20E-257. The genome contains 3,900,066 base pairs with a G + C content of 46.7% in 2 contigs. The genome includes 3,708 coding sequences, 27 rRNAs, and 86 tRNAs. We found gene clusters encoding secondary metabolites with an antimicrobial activity and genes related to the production of indole-3-acetic acid and 2,3-butanediol, which play a role in plant growth and health.
