This study was carried out to investigate the agronomic traits, comparison of weed characteristics and possibility of gene flow in 'vitamin A enforced GM rice' and the donor plant, 'Nagdong'. The GM rice was not significantly different agronomic traits compared to the donor plant, Nagdong. Weed population changes were investigated in the cultivation of the GM rice and the donor plant, Nagdong. Dominant weed species and their dry matter did not show the difference between GM rice and the donor plant, Nagdong in macro-GM crop field. Dominant weed species with the GM rice and the donor plant, Nagdong were Monochoria vaginalis, followed by Eleocharis kuroguwai, Echinochloa crus-galli and Lindernia procumbens. The detection of gene from the GM rice was done using PCR, gene flow can't be detected by weed species. Results of this study on the agronomic traits, weed characteristics and possibility of gene flow has elucidated that GM rice might not be different from the donor plant, Nagdong.

Phenolic compounds, which are products of secondary metabolism, have been demonstrated to be widespread growth substances in plants. The objectives of this study were to identify the phenolic compounds in common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia var. elatior) by HPLC and to evaluate their effects on germination and seedling growth of three weed species. Under controlled conditions in Petri dishes at $25^{\circ}C$, $10^{-3}$ and $10^{-4}$ M solutions of phenolic compounds were evaluated in seed germination tests. Four phenolic compounds (caffeic acid, O-coumaric acid, ${\rho}$-coumaric acid and ferulic acid) in common ragweed plant were identified and their concentration was increased from the stage before flowering through full flowering stage. Treatment of O- and ${\rho}$-coumaric acids delayed the seed germination of Digitalia ciliaris, while the treatment of caffeic acid delayed the seed germination of Echinochloa crus-galli. In time to 50% germination ($T_{50}$), phenolic compounds at $10^{-4}$ M promoted in Cyperus microiria and E. crus-galli but the level of $10^{-3}$ M delayed the $T_{50}$ of those weeds. The O-coumaric acid inhibited seed germination and seedling growth of the tested weeds and especially it perfectly inhibited the root growth of E. crus-galli.

The nationwide weed survey was conducted in arable land, paddy field, upland, orchard and pasture, over whole country of Korea during 3 years from 2013 to 2015. Also, these survey were conducted in order to determine a change of weed community and to identify a major dominant weed species, and problem weeds. Weeds of arable land were composed of 619 species belonging to 81 families. Weeds occurred in paddy field were 90 species belonging to 28 families, upland weeds were 375 species of 50 families, orchard weeds were 492 species of 63 families and pasture weeds 275 species of 52 families. Among total 81 families, the Asteraceae (15.5%) was the biggest family, followed by Poaceae (13.1%), Fabaceae (5.5%), Cyperaceae (5.2%), Polygonaceae (6.3%), respectively. And these weed species were composed of annual weeds of 209 species (33.8%), winter annual of 102 species (16.4%) and perennial weeds of 308 species (49.8%). Exotic weeds naturalized in Korea were investigated as 166 species. Weed flora in Korean cultivation area have been increased as much as 13 families and 186 species for 10 years compared to 2000~2004 weed survey result of 68 families and 433 species. The increment could be resulted from the change of weed population such as increase of the herbicide-resistant and the difference of investigation method.

This study was carried out to investigate the distribution and habitat types of prickly lettuce, Lactuca scariola of Europe origin for supplying the basic data of management plan. It showed fairly nation-wide distribution although excessive growth was rather limited in the wild. Its habitat types were divided into four types like open fields, roadsides, seashores and riversides. Species diversity examined by species rank-dominance curve tended to increase over riverside > seashores > open fields > roadsides. As a result of analyzing life form, therophytes were more than 50%, means that the habitats of L. scariola were disturbed by human activities etc. Urbanization Index was analyzed 9.1% in roadsides, 7.4% in seashores, 5.8% in open fields and riversides. It has high spread potential with a large number of wind-flying seed per plant. It was evaluated that prickly lettuce was mainly spread along the newly constructed road, expressway and invaded the original ecosystem in the cultivated land as weeds. But it has played a role as a pioneer species in open fields. It is recommended to remove where it has considerable impact on the native plant species of conservation value.

Wingstem, Verbesina alternifolia of North America origin, was introduced in 1981 into the Korea terrestrial ecosystem. It scattered in a number of places with limited population size in most cases. Its population has spread into the forest at the Chiaksan National Park and occupied the natural vegetation. Distributions of wingstem were the most popular along the 12 road sites, especially in Route 453, Seohwa-myeon, Inje-gun, Gangwon-do and in Route 31, Yeongyang-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do with 60% coverage of wingstem. It was also distributed in the 5 forest sites and 5 riversides. Despite of its attractive yellow flower, it is recommended to limit cultivation in the nature reserve or other ecosystem of conservation value.

Vulpia octoflora (Walter) Rydb.가 경기도 여주시 강천리 일대에서 발견되었다. 본 종은 북아메리카 원산으로 알려져 있으며, 최근 호주와 일본, 우크라이나에서 침입외래식물로 보고된 바 있다. V. octoflora는 주로 건조한 건조한 모래나 자갈 모래밭에 자라는 잡초성 식물로, 도로변을 따라 개방된 지역이나 인위적 교란 지역에서 빈번하게 발견된다. 학자에 따라 북아메리카 지역에 분포하는 개체들의 지리적 분포와 형태 변이를 근거로 종하분류군으로 세분화하기도 하지만, 형태 변이의 일관성 부족으로 인해 종내 변이로 인식하여 통합하여 처리하는 것이 타당하게 여겨진다. 본 종은 최근에 국내에 보고된 침입외래식물인 들묵새아재비와 유사하나, 소수당 달리는 소화의 수가 더 많고, 호영 정단부의 까락의 길이가 짧은 것으로 명확히 구분된다. 좀들묵새에 대한 생태계 위해성 연구는 진행된 바 없으나, 최초 발견지인 여주시 강천섬 일대는 멸종위기 2등급종인 단양쑥부쟁이의 자생지이기 때문에, 새롭게 유입된 외래식물의 잠재적 생태 교란에 따른 위해성 평가 및 확산 방지를 위한 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 여겨진다. 본 연구에서는 주요 형질에 대한 기재와, 지리적 분포, 도해도, 화상자료와 국내에 분포하는 동속 분류군과의 검색표를 제공하고자 한다.

In this paper, we propose a system that recognizes weed images using a classifier based on ResNeXt model. On the server of the proposed system, the ResNeXt model extracts the fine features of the weed images sent from the user and classifies it as one of the most similar weeds out of 21 species. And the classification result is delivered to the client and displayed on the smartphone screen through the application. The experimental results show that the proposed weed recognition system based on ResNeXt model is superior to existing methods and can be effectively applied in the real-world agriculture field.

The experiment was conducted in 1996 to investigate distribution, germination characteristics, and effective control of Abutilon theophrasti in corn fields. The regional distribution of A. theophrasti showed that it was higher in Gyenggi province than in Kangwon, Chungnam, or Chonllanambug provinces because of many dairy farms located in Gyenggi province where fresh corn was used as ensilage. The optimal temperature of the weed seed germination was around 15~$20^{\circ}C$ and germination rate was 73~93% in 1~5cm of burial depth. The weed was able to be controlled effectively when treated 10 days after seeding more than just after seeding with herbicides, pendimethalin 31.7% EC, linuron 50% WP and pendimethalin linuron 25% EC with an acceptable phytotoxicity.

Numerous cases have been reported of naturalization by exotic ornamental plants. To obtain basic data about how those plants affect the ecosystems of Korea, we compiled a list of 78 species categorized as ornamentals from 309 naturalized species in Korea and analyzed their life forms, origin, and their current global status of naturalization and regulation. Plants belonging to Compositae comprised the largest group, with 23 species. In all, 75 species were considered herbaceous, and perennial species out-numbered annuals and biennials. Most species originated from Europe and North America. Except for Houttuynia cordata, the other 77 species were naturalized in other countries as well. Furthermore, 34 species, including Aster pilosus and Solidago altissima, have been subject to legal restrictions or classified as alert species in Korea or other countries. Therefore, monitoring may be required to prevent spread of those species, especially for species which have not been managed under domestic law up to now.

제주도 서귀포시와 경북 안동시에서 사마풀속(Murdannia Royle)에 속하는 미기록 외래식물인 Murdannia nudiflora (L.) Brenan를 발견하여 보고하고자 한다. Murdannia nudiflora는 열대 아시아 원산으로 아프리카, 아메리카 대륙뿐만 아니라 우리나라와 가까운 일본에도 도입되어 있다. 종소명인 'nudiflora'는 본종의 조락하는 소포엽의 특징을 지칭하는 것으로 추정되며, M. nudiflora는 소포엽 외에 국내 자생하고 있는 사마귀풀[M. keisak (Hassk.) Hand.-Mazz.]과 뿌리, 꽃, 열매 및 종자의 외부형태로 쉽게 구분할 수 있다. M. nudiflora는 사마귀풀과 달리 뿌리줄기가 없고, 말단 혹은 액생하는 화서에 여러 개의 꽃이 피며, 꽃은 수술 2개, 헛수술 2-4개를 가지고, 열매는 자실 당 2개의 종자를 가지며, 종자는 작은 구멍이 있는 망상형 표면을 가진다. M. nudiflora는 닭의장풀과(Commelinaceae)에 속하는 분류군 중에서도 병해충을 유발하여 작물의 생산성을 감소시키는 잡초로 악명이 높으며, 주로 목화, 벼, 참깨 등과 같이 주요 작물이 재배되는 경작지에서 발견되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 종의 발견지들은 모두 해당 작물을 재배했던 것으로 추정되는 경작지로 M. nudiflora는 수입된 재배종 종자와 섞여 비의도적으로 도입된 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서는 M. nudiflora의 화상자료 및 형태적 기재와 함께 국내 근연 분류군과 구별할 수 있는 검색표를 제시하고자 한다.
