The purpose of this study is to analyze photochemical activity of nursery seedlings under drought stress, using chlorophyll fluorescence reaction analysis. Young nursery seedlings of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) and cucumber (Cucumis sativa L.), were grown under drought stress for 8 days. Analysis of chlorophyll fluorescence reaction (OJIP) and parameters, were performed to evaluate photochemical fluctuation in nursery seedlings under drought stress. Chlorophyll fluorescence reaction analysis showed maximal recorded fluorescence (P) decreased from the 5 day after treatment in tomato seedlings, while an amount of chlorophyll fluorescence increased at the J-I step. Thus, physiological activity was reduced. In cucumber seedlings, maximal recorded fluorescence (P) and maximal variable fluorescence ($F_V$) lowered from the 4 day after treatment, and chlorophyll fluorescence intensity of J-I step increased. Chlorophyll fluorescence parameter analysis showed electron transfer efficiency of PSII and PSI were significantly inhibited with decreasing $ET2_O/RC$ and $RE1_O/RC$ from the 5 day after treatment, in tomato seedlings and from the 4 day after treatment, in cucumber seedlings. $ET2_O/RC$ and $PI_{ABS}$ significantly changed. In conclusion, 6 indices such as $F_V/F_M$, $DI_O/RC$, $ET2_O/RC$, $RE1_O/RC$, $PI_{ABS}$ and $PI_{TOTAL}ABS$ were selected for determining drought stress in nursery seedlings. Drought stress factor index (DFI) was used to evaluate whether the crop was healthy or not, under drought stress. Cucumber seedlings were less resistant to drought stress than tomato seedlings, in the process of drought stress.

기후변화의 영향으로 자생지에서 고사하고 있는 구상나무 유묘의 대기온도와 연령에 따라 건전도를 파악하고자 지리산 구상나무 실생묘를 대상으로 엽록소형광을 측정하였다. 2020년 7, 8, 9월에 걸쳐 월별 1회씩 연생별(1, 2, 3, 5, 6년생) 20개체를 대상으로 13시, 19시에 개체당 3회 반복 측정하였다. 측정 당시 평균대기온도는 24.6, 26.9, 20.6℃이었으며 잎을 20분간 광을 차단 후 Fv/Fm값을 측정하였다. Fo는 식물이 암적응 된 상태에서 포화광을 조사하기 직전의 형광 초기값이며, Fm은 식물이 암적응 된 상태에서 포화광을 통해 유도된 최대 형광수치를 의미한다. Fv는 Fm-Fo이며, 광화학 반응의 최대 양자수율로 식물의 잎이 광합성을 수행할 수 있는 잠재력을 의미하고 식물의 광합성 활성과 건전도에 대한 지표로 사용된다. 일반적으로 건강한 잎의 Fv/Fm값이 0.8을 기준으로 낮은 값은 광계II의 반응 중심이 손상을 잎은 경우이거나 스트레스 환경에 있는 경우이다. 13시 측정 결과 8월 측정값 중 1년생과 3년생이 0.8 이하로 측정되었고 그 외에는 전부 0.8 보다 높게 나타났다. 19시 측정 결과 8월에 1, 2, 3년생이 0.8 이하로 측정되었으며, 9월에는 1년생의 경우를 제외하고 모두 0.8 보다 높게 나타났다. 1, 2, 3년생은 8월의 높은 온도에 영향을 받아 고산지대에 자생하는 구상나무의 특성상 고온에 대한 스트레스를 받은 것으로 판단되며, 연령이 비교적 높은 5, 6년생은 온도변화에 비교적 안정적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 엽록소형광 측정의 결과를 근거로 3년생 이하의 개체는 온도변화에 민감하게 반응하는 반면, 5년생 이상의 개체는 비교적 안정적으로 건전도가 유지된 것으로 판단되었다.

Etiolation of plant leaves evoke to be photosynthetically inactive because plant leaves are unable to convert photochlorophyllide to chlorophyllide in the absence of light. In addition, UV-B radiation plays an important role in photomorphogenesis and excessive UV-B radiation decreases photosynthesis and causes to damage to cellular DNA. In the present study, two electrical lights obtained with the ultraviolet lamp and moderate lamp were employed to young plants soybean (Glycine max Merr. var Seoritae). After treatment of different lights, young plants were harvested for the determination of pigment contents and chlorophyll fluorescence. The contents of carotenoids and anthocyanins were significantly enhanced with the excessive UV-B radiation. Excessive UV-B light reduced dramatically photosynthetic efficiency causing an irreversible damage on PSII in comparison to the controls treated under normal illumination. As the treatment of normal illumination after dark treatment, the contents of carotenoids and anthocyanains were not changed in the leaves and photosynthetic ability were retained. Therefore, Seoritae soybean leaves might protect themselves from excessive UV-B radiation with up-regulation of antioxidants.

We examed physiological and flowering response of S. capitata, the endangered plant in Korea, under LED light conditions in plant factory to cultivate artificially for conservation. We cultivated S. capitata and measured its physiological responses and the number of flowers under red, blue, white, red+far-red mixed, red+blue mixed, and red+blue+white mixed light. The results showed that its photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll content were recorded relatively high in red+blue+white and red+blue mixed light respectively. Transpiration rate and stomatal conductance appeared relatively high in the white single light while water use efficiency was no difference. Photochemical efficiency of photochemical photosystem II by minimum and maximum chlorophyll fluorescence was the highest in the red+blue+white mixed light condition than other ones. The number of flowers of S. capitata was at its peak under the red light or red+far-red mixed light. Therefore, we conclude that the most efficient way to grow for flowering of S. capitata is to provide red light or red+far-red mixed light in the plant factory.

Trees, cultivated in containers, are appropriate in soil deformation such as road sites with cutting and filling. This study tested the effectiveness of trees produced in containers for early rootage in street tree transplantation. For the study, Korean Mountain Ashes(Sorbus alnifolia) were used for experimental groups. The groups were categorized into three categories: trees cultivated in containers with mulching treatment(group A), trees cultivated outdoors with mulching treatment (group B), and trees cultivated in containers with weeding treatment(group C). Each group consisted of ten trees of the same size and transplanted to the experimental site. In order to compare each group's rootage, the study was carried out with the chlorophyll fluorescence method by the analysis of photochemical reaction. As a result of the study, group B had the lowest the maximum fluorescence amount(P). The amount of fluorescence increased by OJ transition of the process, and appeared to reduce the photosystem II electron transport efficiency. In photosystem II, electron transfer energy flux through photosystem I(RE1o/RC, RE1o/CS) was also reduced by more than 20% in group B. These results may imply that transplantation of container-cultivated trees with mulching treatment provides the most rapid rootage among the groups. The weeding treatment is also more effective than mulching treatment for rapid rootage of street trees.

본 연구에서는 실내에 조사되는 다양한 광량하에서 녹나무과 목본 2종을 재배하면서 생육반응을 조사하였다. 식물재료는 참식나무[Neolitsea sericea (Blume) Koidz.]와 후박나무(Machilus thunbergii Siebold & Zucc.)의 3년생 실생묘를 사용하였다. 실험공간은 광량을 10, 50, 100 및 200 PPFD (${\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$)로 달리하였으며, 광주기(12/12 h), 온도($25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$), 습도($55{\pm}3%$) 및 관수(1회/3일) 조건이 동일하게 유지되는 밀실로 조성되었다. 각 광량조건 하에서 8주간 재배된 식물의 생육특성 및 광화학반응이 조사되었으며, 유리온실에 동일 기간동안 재배한 식물과 비교하였다. 연구 결과, 참식나무는 광량에 관계없이 초장을 제외한 전반적인 생육반응이 유사하였으며, 엽록소함량(SPAD)은 광량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향이었다. 최대양자수율(Fv/Fm) 및 스트레스지수(Fm/Fo)는 200 PPFD에서 유의한 차이를 나타냈으며, 이는 대조구와 유사한 경향이었다. 후박나무는 대조구와 비교하여 모든 광량조건에서 초장이 감소하였으며, 특히 10 PPFD에서는 잎의 탈락에 따른 관상가치가 저하되었다. 엽록소함량은 100, 200 PPFD 광량에서 감소하였으며, 대조구도 유사한 경향을 나타냈다. 또한 유리온실의 대조구와 100, 200 PPFD 광량에서 최대양자수율, 스트레스지수 및 PSII 성능지수(Pi_Abs)의 유의한 차이가 확인되었다.

Reproductive phenology and physiological responses of Epilobium hirsutum L. to moisture content and nutrient content of soil were analysed in order to obtain basic data for effective conservation and restoration. Epilobium hirsutum L. is a perennial plant. But Epilobium hirsutum L. grew reproductively in all moisture and nutrient gradients. Flower bud, flowers and peduncle were respectively ripened in earlier under highest moisture condition and highest nutrient condition. And, number of flowers and peduncle were more quickly increased under highest moisture condition and highest nutrient condition. Chlorophyll content was high under highest moisture condition and higher middle moisture condition. However, we found no significant difference of chlorophyll content regard to nutrient gradients. There was no difference in minimum chlorophyll fluorescence among all moisture and nutrient gradients. The photochemical efficiency values of PS II were 0.75 in all moisture gradients, and it was 0.78 in highest nutrient gradient. The chlorophyll content of Epilobium hirsutum L. increased as the moisture content increased, and the Fv/Fm value increased as the organic matter increased. Our results showed that high moisture and nutrient content of soil advance their breeding season and promote reproductive growth. It might be important basic informations for the maintenance of population and the management of habitat of Epilobium hirsutum L. an endangered plant species.
