  • Heavy metal pollution in arable field is an critical problem due to crop safety. For this reason, national survey of heavy metal pollution in the arable field near at the industrial area has been conducted from 1999 in Korea. The main purpose of this research was to monitor heavy metal pollution in Chungnam/chungbuk province and to evaluate pollution index (PI) in soil. Total of 15 sampling locations were examined and average concentration of each heavy metals were following: As - $2.99{\pm}2.63$, Cd - $0.23{\pm}0.07$, Cu - $9.35{\pm}6.48$, Ni - $9.26{\pm}8.03$, Pb - $10.18{\pm}3.32$, Zn - $52.9{\pm}17.18$. No sampling site was exceeded threshold level of each heavy metals. Calculated PI in soil was ranged between 0.03 - 0.27 indicating that also no heavy metal pollution is occurred in examined sampling locations. Although, no heavy metal pollution was observed in the examined sites but monitoring of heavy metal pollution should be continued for possible accidental pollution in arable field near at the industrial area.

  • Systemic acquired resistance is a form of inducible resistance that is triggered in systemic healthy tissues of local-infected plants. Several candidate signaling molecules emerged in the past two years, including the methylated derivatives of well-known defense hormones salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA). In our present study, the symptom on Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) infected Arabidopsis leaves in 0.1 mM SA or 0.06 mM JA pre-treated plants was lighter (less reactive oxygen species accumulation and less oxidative damages) than that of the control group. JA followed by SA (JA${\rightarrow}$SA) had the highest inhibitory efficiency to CMV replication, higher than JA and SA simultaneous co-pretreatment (JA+SA), and higher than a JA or a SA single pretreatment. The crosstalk between the two hormones was further investigated at the transcriptional levels of pathogenesis-related genes. The time-course measurement showed JA might play a more important role in the interaction between JA and SA.

  • 현재 대부분의 작물수확에 있어, 노지 재배를 탈피하여 시설재배면적이 증가하고 있다. 현재 원예산업에서 전체 농가 생산액 대비를 보면 95년 기준으로 38.9%를 점하고 있다. 이는 80년대 이후 해마다 증가하였고, WTO시대에 도래하여 세계 속에서 우리 농산물은 경쟁을 해야 할 때다. 원예산업 비중에서, 채소가 25.2%, 과수가 11.2%, 화훼가 2%를 차지하고 있다. 이중 시설채소 재배도 8.5%의 비중을 차지하고 있고, 통계청 자료에 의하면 오이의 재배면적이 97년에 268ha에서 98년에 420ha로 증가하였다.

  • 포도 생과의 수입 개방으로 1996년에 2,400톤, 1997년에 3,500톤을 수입한 바 있다. 현재까지는 칠레산 포도가 3월부터 5월 사이에 수입되어 그 동안 안정적으로 발전해 오던 시설포도의 수익성이 크게 떨어진 바 있으나 수입종 과실의 품질, 기호성, 신선도, 잔류 농약의 문제 등으로 소비자들이 국산 포도를 선호하고 있어 크게 문제되지 않고 있다. 그러나 앞으로의 포도의 지속적인 수입 개방으로 인하여 좋은 품질의 포도가 수입될 것으로 예상된다. (중략)
