The study was performed to calculate canopy temperatures and crop water stress index (CWSI) of 2-year-old 'Yumi' peach trees using thermal infrared imaging under different soil water conditions, and to evaluate availability for water stress determination. Canopy temperatures showed similar daily variations to air temperatures and they were higher during the daytime than air temperatures. Canopy temperatures for 24 h were correlated highly to air temperatures (r² =0.95), solar radiations (r² =0.74), and relative humidity (r² =-0.88). In addition, soil water potential showed a highly negative correlation to canopy temperatures (r² =-0.57), temperature differences between leaf and air (TD) (r² =-0.71), and CWSI (r² =-0.72) during the daytime (11 to 16 h). CWSI for 24 h was highly related to canopy temperatures (r² =0.90) and TD (r² =0.92), whereas CWSI was not correlated to soil water potential (r² =-0.27) for 24 h but related highly to water potential (r² =-0.72) during the daytime (11 to 16 h). Correlation coefficients between CWSI (y) and soil water potential (x) were highest from 11 to 12 h and a regression equation was deduced as y = -0.0087x + 0.14. CWSI was calculated as 0.575 at -50 kPa, which soil water stress generally occurs. Thus our result suggests that this regression equation using thermal infrared imaging is useful to evaluate soil water stress of peach trees.

원예작물의 개화는 일장이나 생장조절제 처리 이외에도 광도, 관수량, 그리고 시비수준 등 재배환경에 따라 영향을 받는다. 차광처리는 광합성률을 낮추어 개화를 지연시키며, 관수처리는 건조시 양분흡수가 저해되거나, 수분부족 자체가 스트레스로 작용하여 종자생산을 촉진시키는 생식생장으로의 전환을 유도할 가능성도 있다. 쑥갓은 국내에서 엽채류로 4계절을 통해 많이 이용되나 개화생리에 대한 연구가 미비하다. (중략)

There are considerable areas of wet paddy fields in Korea that requires improvement of its drainage system. In poorly drained sloping paddy fields, upland crops can be damaged by either rainfall or capillary rise of the water table caused by percolating water beneath the upper fields during summertime rainy season. The purpose of this study is to evaluate excess water stress of soybean yield by drainage systems. Four drainage methods namely open ditch, vinyl barrier, pipe drainage and tube bundle were installed within 1-m position at the lower edge of the upper paddy fields. Stress Day Index (SDI) approach was developed to quantify the the cumulative effect of stress imposed on a soybean yield throughout the growing season. SDI was determined from a stress day factor (SD) and a crop susceptibility factor (CS). The stress day factor is a measure degree and duration of stress of the ($SEW_{30}$). The crop susceptibility factor (CS) depends of a given excess water on crop stage. The results showed that SDI used to represent the moisture stress index was most low on the pipe drainage 64.75 compared with the open ditch 355.4, vinyl barrier 271.55 and tube bundle 171.55. Soybean grain yield increased continuously with the rate of 3% in Vinyl Barrier, 32% in Pipe Drainage and 16% in Tube Bundle.

본 연구는 초분광 영상을 이용하여 수박 모종의 수분함량을 비파괴적으로 추정하기 위해 수행되었다. 단계적으로 수분 스트레스를 받은 수박(n=45) 모종을 초분광 영상시스템으로 촬영하여 모종 영역의 반사율을 추출하였고, 매 촬영 후 모종의 생체중과 건물중을 측정하여 수분함량을 계산하였다. 모종의 반사율과 계측된 수분함량을 변수로 하여 Partial Least Square Regression(PLSR) 분석을 이용하여 수분 추정 모델을 구축하였다. 수분 추정모델을 작성한 결과 Calibration(Cal.)의 정확도($R^2$)는 0.66, 정밀도(RMSE 및 RE)는 각각 1.06%, 1.14%로 나타났다. 수박 모종의 수분함량 추정모델의 정밀도는 상당히 높게 나타났으나 정확도는 낮게 나타났다. 정확도를 개선하기 위해 Confidence ellipses의 신뢰구간을 95%로 설정하였을 때 3개의 모종이 타원 밖에 위치하는 것을 발견하였으며 이를 제거 후 재분석을 하였다. 3개의 모종을 제외한 수박 모종의 수분함량 추정모델의 정확도는 0.82, 정밀도는 0.73%, 0.78%로 나타났다. 3개의 모종을 제외함으로서 모델의 정확도 및 정밀도가 상승하여 3개의 모종이 정확도 및 정밀도를 낮추는 원인이라 판단된다. 작물은 가뭄스트레스를 받을수록 반사율이 낮아지지만(Yang et al., 2010) 3개의 모종은 다른 모종의 수분함량에 비해 반사율이 큰 차이를 나타내어 정확도 및 정밀도를 낮춘 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구를 통해 초분광 영상을 이용하여 수박 모종의 수분함량 추정가능성을 시사하였고, 모델의 정확도를 개선하기 위해 샘플 수 및 수분함량의 변이를 증가시키는 것이 필요하다고 판단된다.

Biopolymer is a versatile material used in food processing, medicine, construction, and soil reinforcement. 𝛽-glucan is one of the biopolymers that improves the soil water content and ion adsorption in a drought or toxic metal contaminated land for plant survival. We analyzed drought stress damage reduction in sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas L. cv. Sodammi) by measuring the growth and major protein expression and activity under 𝛽-glucan soil amendment. The result showed that sweet potato leaf length and width were not affected by drought stress for 14 days, but sweet potatoes grown in 𝛽-glucan-amended soil showed an effect in preventing wilting caused by drought in phenotypic changes. Under drought stress, sweet potato leaves did not show any changes in electrolyte leakage, but the relative water content was higher in sweet potatoes grown in 𝛽-glucan-amended soil than in normal soil. 𝛽-glucan soil amendment increased the expression of plasma membrane (PM) H⁺-ATPase, but it decreased the aquaporin PIP2 (plasma membrane intrinsic protein 2) in sweet potatoes under drought stress. Moreover, water maintenance affected the PM H⁺-ATPase activity, which contributed to tolerance under drought stress. These results indicate that 𝛽-glucan soil amendment improves the soil water content during drought and affects the water supply in sweet potatoes. Consequently, 𝛽-glucan is a potential material for maintaining soil water contents, and analysis of the major PM proteins is one of the indicators for evaluating the biopolymer effect on plant survival under drought stress.

As the global warming causing desertification increase, there is growing concern about damage of crops. It was to investigate how the treatment with hydrogen peroxide before leaf development affects the growth and yield of sorghum for minimizing a damage of crops to drought. The germination experiment was conducted at alternating temperature of $25^{\circ}C/20^{\circ}C$(12 hr/12 hr) under water stress condition of 0 ~ -0.20 MPa adjusted with PEG solution containing 0 and 10 mM $H_2O_2$. In order to know the effect of foliar application of hydrogen peroxide on the growth of sorghum, 10 mM hydrogen peroxide was treated to leaves at 3-leaf stage of sorghum growing in greenhouse conditions. Seed germination rate was increased by 20% in hydrogen peroxide treatment as compared to the Control. under water stress conditions (-0.15 ~ -0.20 MPa). The length of seedlings was also on the rise by the hydrogen peroxide treatment. In the greenhouse pot experiment, the morphological characteristics (plant height, stem diameter, leaf length, and leaf number) and physiological characteristics (chlorophyll content, chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm), stomatal conductance) were higher in the plants treated with hydrogen peroxide under the drought stress condition than those of plants of $H_2O$ treatment. Experiment conducted with the soil moisture gradient system showed that the foliar application of hydrogen peroxide increased photosynthetic ability of sorghum plant with respect to SPAD value and stomatal conductance and rooting capacity (root weight and root length) under drought condition. Generally, hydrogen peroxide treatment in sorghum increased the tolerance to drought stress and maintained better growth due to ameliorating oxidative stress.

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus intraradices) on plant growth and N metabolic responses were examined in perennial ryegrass plants exposed to drought-stressed or well-watered condition. Mycorrhizal inoculation improved significantly leaf water potential, dry mass and P content. Drought stress increased significantly nitrate concentration in roots where the increase was much less in AM than non-AM. Drought stress decreased the concentration of soluble proteins in non-AM shoots, whereas non-significant decline occurred in AM shoots even under drought condition. The concentrations of ammonia and proline in drought stressed non-AM plants significantly increased, while mycorrhizal inoculation lowered significantly ammonia and proline accumulation. The decrease in leaf dry weight in drought stressed-plants was significantly correlated to the increase in ammonia (p<0.01) and proline concentration (p<0.01). These results suggested that the increased P content and N assimilation by mycorrhizal inoculation may be associated with drought stress tolerance, showing the moderating effects on shoot growth inhibition and ammonia accumulation in drought stressed-plants.

Climate change may result in greater risk of yield reduction of waxy corn due to drought stress and maize is one of the sensitive crops to the soil moisture shortage. While irrigation is the most effective practice to reduce the drought damage, farmers are unable to apply water due to limited water resource and irrigating facilities. The study was conducted to investigate the application effect of salicylic acid and abscisic acid on reducing drought stress of waxy corn (Zea mays L.). Drought stress was imposed by withholding irrigation from 9 days before anthesis to 14 days after anthesis. Salicylic acid or abscisic acid was applied on tasseling date at concentration of 0.5 mM and 0.1 mM, respectively. Drought stress increased anthesis-silking interval (ASI) by 3.0~3.3 days and decreased plant height, ear length, ear diameter, number of rows in ear, and yield by 47~51 cm, 4.6~5.0 cm, 4.4~5.3 mm, 1.5~2.0, and 2.4~2.5 Mg/ha, respectively. Application of salicylic acid and abscisic acid did not significantly reduced the drought injuries of waxy corn. Pretreatment of the plant growth regulators before water deficit stress or divided application at low concentration may be required to obtain the reduction effect on drought stress of waxy corn.
