In this paper, we conducted the taxonomic study of the tribe Epilobieae Endl. and concluded that a total of nine taxa, including one Chamerion (Raf.) Raf. ex Holub and eight Epilobium L., exist in Korea. Although C. angustifolium subsp. angustifolium has been placed traditionally either in Epilobium or Chamaenerion, it can be clearly distinguished from the species of Epilobium by having alternate leaves, slightly zygomorphic flowers, non-clefted petals, and equal length of 8 stamens, supporting the recognition of genus Chamerion. All but one species of Epilobium, E. platystigmatosum, was investigated for the surface of seeds using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The seed sculpture of Korean Epilobium can be classified into three types, i.e., papillose, reticulate, and ridged. E. ciliatum subsp. ciliatum is the only species Epilobium, which has the ridged seed sculpture. E. amurense subsp. cephalostigma can be distinguished from conspecific E. amurense subsp. amurense based on leaf shape, trichome shape and distribution, size and habit. Both E. fastigiatoramosum and E. palustre have entire leaf margins, but they can be distinguished based on leaf shape, stigma, and seed sculpture; the former has elongated elliptic leaves, capitate stigma, ridged seed sculpture, whereas the latter one has elongated lanceolate leaves, club-shaped stigma, and reticulate seed sculpture. Finally, we report the first record of E. platystigmatosum in Korea, and further comparative study including conspecific populations from Japan and China can clarify the occurrence of this taxon in Korea.

A new species, Elsholtzia byeonsanensis M. Kim is named and described from Byeonsan, Jeollabukdo Province, Korea. Molecular data confirmed that this new taxon was distinguished from other congeneric species. Elsholtzia byeonsanensis shares several characteristics (secund spikes, ovate leaves, long corolla length, etc.) with its related species E. splendens, but it is distinct from E. splendens which has a large plant, green stem color, chartaceous leaf textures, non-shiny leaf surfaces, pubescent petioles, pubescent leaf blade surfaces, pubescent bract surface, and open woodland habitats by having a small plant, purple stem color, coriaceous leaf textures, shiny leaf surfaces, glabrous petioles, glabrous leaf blade surfaces, glabrous bract surface, and marine habitats.

Leaf anatomical study of Pinus thunbergii collected from 12 different coastal regions of Korea was conducted to understand the adaptive variation on leaf traits. Basic anatomical features are typical pine needle type with fibrous epidermis, 2-3 layered hypodermis, sunken stomata, monomorphic mesophyll, and well-represented bundle sheath. The bundle sheath surrounds a couple of vascular bundle separated by parenchyma bands. On the basis of their position, the resin ducts are of three types; external, medial and internal of the bundle sheath. The total number of resin ducts in all samples varies from 4 to 12. The stomata were found on stomatal bands throughout the leaf surface. Important dissimilarities observed on P. thunburgii leaf are the number and position of resin ducts and the number of stomata rows in leaf surface.

$150^{\circ}$ 이상의 물 접촉각을 가지는 초소수성 표면들은 그것들의 잠재적인 산업 응용분야로 인해 많은 관심을 끌고 있다. 연꽃 효과와 같은 고체표면의 초소수성 특성은 표면의 표면 형상과 화학적 구성요소로 인해 결정되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 초소수성 표면을 형성하기 위해 세워진 고분자 나노섬유, 형판 압출, 특별한 표면 처리의 제조와 같은 많은 시도가 진행되어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는, two-step 화학 에칭 공정을 통해 금속표면의 구조를 변화시켜 초소수성을 나타내는 금속을 제조하였다. 특히, 마이크로테라스 구조상에 나노 잎 구조가 부가된 계층구조를 형성하여 초소수성 금속을 제조하였으며, 이러한 표면의 여러 가지 초소수 특성들을 체계적으로 조사하였다.

식물은 반휘발성유기화합물(Semivolatile organic compounds : 이하 SOCs)의 지구적인 순환과 먹이 연쇄에 있어서 중요한 역할을 한다. 또한 식물은 대기중 가스상 SOCs을 보유하고 입자상 SOCs를 제거하는 역할을 하기 때문에 대기를 정화하는데 중요한 기능을 한다(Lorber et al, 1993). SOCs 화합물 중 PCBs와 BHCs는 친지질성(lipophilic) 유기염소계 화합물로 식물의 뿌리를 통해서는 흡입되지 않고 대기중에서 식물잎의 표면에 존재하는 지질에 침착되므로 식물잎에 침착된 오염물질은 대기의 농도에 의존한다. (중략)

본 논문에서는 풀밭으로 덮힌 지역의 초고주파 대역 편파별 후방 산란을 분석하는데 있어서 Radiative Transfer 이론의 첫 번째 해를 이용하였다. 풀밭지역에서의 잎은 사각형 형태의 resistive sheet 으로 모델화 시키고, 잎의 크기와 방향성은 불규칙적으로 흩어져 있다고 가정하였다. 땅에서의 흙의 수분 함유량과 표면 거칠기도 고려하였다. 이러한 지역에서의 후방 산란 계수는 풀밭 지역과 레이더 요소들에 따라 각각 다른 계산 결과를 나타낸다. 측정은 15 GHz 대역의 레이더 시스템을 사용하여 풀 층에서의 산란 계수를 측정하고 풀 층에서의 산란 모델을 이용하여 계산 결과와 측정값을 비교하였고 이 모델을 이용하여 Visual-Basic을 이용한 사용자 프로그램인 TSM(Total Scattering Model)을 제작하였다.

This research was conducted to investigate the effects of calcium solution spray on the accumulation of calcium into apple fruit. $^{45}_{CaCl_2}$ applied to fruit with different growth stages showed that more $^{45}Ca$ was penetrated into fruits when applied in the late stage than early stage. Slight radioactivity was detected only in pedicel except leaf when $^{45}Ca$ was treated on the leaves proximate to the fruit. When the Ca was treated on fruit surface only, calcium contents of fruit was increased.

Powdery mildew of Paprika caused by Leveillula taurica has been a serious problem in greenhouse. It is an unusual endophytic powdery mildew because the mycelia grow inside the leaf, such that the pale yellow lesions on adaxial surfaces appear first and the white powdery lesion/signs develop later on the corresponding to the spots of the abaxial leaf surface, where the conidiophores are typically emerge through the stomatal opening. Although one foliar application of cooking oil and yolk mixture(COY) to the foliage was not practically effective enough, two or three, weekly application of COY to the foliage at either 0.3 or 0.5% concentration resulted in excellent control against powdery mildew with disease index less/lower than 1, respectively. This treatment could provide protection for three weeks, which, we believe, is not only cost-effective, but also environment-friendly. Powdery mildew fungus was affected by COY treatment quickly which is recognizable in three days. Net photosynthesis and evapotranspiration was remarkably reduced by powdery mildew infection compared to healthy leaves, suggesting that prevention and early protection is the most critical strategy for peak paprika fruit yield. Moreover, COY treatment did not adversely affect the photosynthesis and evapotranspiration of foliages.

Stomatal variation was observed at the Yeongnam Crop Experiment Station in 1988 using 42 rice cultivars and 30 weed species. The shape, density or size of stomata was varied depending on the species. Two general trends, however, were found that more number of stomata was found at lower leaf epidermis than upper leaf epidermis and stomata number was negatively correlated with stomata size. Aneilema japonica and Portulaca oleracea had the least number of stomata having 17-20 stomata per $m^2$ for upper leaf epidermis and 17-54 stomata for lower leaf epidermis while Polygonum conspicuum had the greatest number of stomata (449 for upper leaf epidermis and 511 for lower leaf epidermis). Soybean, Aeschynomene indica, Ludwigia prostrata and Lactuca indica had the smallest in stomata size while the biggest stomata was found at P. oleracea and A. Japonica that had the least number of stomata. Cyperus species such as C. difformis, C. iria and C. serotinus had no stomata at upper leaf epidermis. The stomata were distributed only at lower leaf epidermis for these species. Potamogeton distinctus, on the other hand, had stomata almost at upper leaf epidermis and thus, hardly found the stomata at lower leaf epidermis. Among rice cultivars, Tongil-type had the greatest number of stomata followed by Indica-type and Japonica-type, in order. Cultivars released after 1960 had more stomata than cultivars released before 1960 for Japonica-type cultivars while stomata size had reversed trend. Jinheung had the least number of stomata (${\fallingdotseq}$ 150 per $mm^2$) while Yushin had the greatest number of stomata (350 for upper and 449 for lower leaf epidermis, respectively) among rice cultivars. Other cultivars having more than 350 stomata per $mm^2$ were Samgangbyeo, Milyang 23, Woonbongbyeo, etc.

Rust disease on Korean Azalea (Rododendron yedoense) was occurred in Jeonju, Jeonbuk province of Korea. The typical symtoms of the disease appeared first as small yellowish spots on leaves. Uredinia were observed at hypophyllous of the leaves, yellow or dark yellow in color and globoid in shape with the size of $0.27{\sim}0.46{\times}0.31{\sim}0.61$ mm. Urediniospores were also observed in the leaves, yellow in color with globoid or ovoid in shape with the size of $17.1{\sim}29.2{\times}12.8{\sim}18.2{\mu}m$. Surface characterization of the spores revealed that these spores have papilla-like projections, which were made of $2{\sim}3$ annulation (SA; small annulate). Based on these morphological characterizations the causative fungus was identified as Chrysomyxa rhododendri.
