  • This studies were performed to determine the effects of indoor relative humidity conditions on the growth of Arachniodes aristata and Pyrrosia lingua in native fern and investigate an applicable possibility of indoor plants. The response of Arachniodes aristata and Pyrrosia lingua was evaluated in growth chamber (KG-8407-87) to 3 relative humidity and 3 soils. Relative humidity was applied to 25%, 50%, 90%; soils were prepared based on soil mixture(SM), top field soil(TF), masa soil(MS). Results of experiments are as follows ; 1. Under a low humidity condition, such as 25%, Water contents, chlorophyll content, ornamental value of Arachniodes aristata and Pyrrosia lingua decreased much more a 50-90%. 2. The growth of Arachniodes aristata were best in pots under a soil mixture(SM) but Pyrrosia lingua were field top soil(FT) under 25%. It seemed that Pyrrosia lingua due to tolerance of desiccation more than Arachniodes aristata. Though these studies, coefficient of relative humidity and soil was plays an important role in Arachniodes aristata and Pyrrosia lingua growth in indoor environments.

  • Grazing preference, voluntary dry matter intake, stocking rate and digestibility of forage were investigated or sheep grazed in mature oil palm plantations in Malaysia. Dry matter intake (DMI) was estimated using the chromium sesquioxide marker method. The sheep were allowed to graze about 5 hours/day in oil palm plantations of age ranging from 9 to 21 years old. The crude protein, crude fibre and ash contents of selected herbage were 13.1 %; 24.6 %; and 8.3 %, respectively, while the gross energy (GE) and the metabolisable energy (ME) were 16.9 and 6.0 MJ/kg DM, respectively. Broad leaf plants and grasses were normally found in plantation of all ages. Legumes and oil palm seedlings formed the smallest group in the whole mixture. Fern content increased in older plantations. Legumes, oil palm seedlings, fern, broad leaves and grasses were 0.4, 1.3, 11.4, 28.0 and 59.0 %, respectively of total herbage. Grasses showed the highest preference index followed by broad leaf plants, legumes, oil palm seedlings and ferns in that order. The DMI and the metabolisable energy intake (MEI) of sheep at 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 months of age were 64.8, 65.0, 65.3, 65.6 and 67.4 g/kg $W^{0.75}$ (p<0.05) and 0.39, 0.40, 0.40, 0.40 and 0.41 MJ/kg $W^{0.75}$, respectively. The average stocking rate was 4.3 sheep/ha. It was concluded that the performance of the sheep could be improved by increasing the daily grazing period and also by appropriate concentrate supplementation.

  • This study investigated the growth of native ferns under indoor light intensities to identify the introduction possibility as in-door ornamental plants. Three evergreen perennial fern species used in this experiment were Coniogramme japonica (Thunb.) Diels, Woodwardia japonica (L. f.) Sm., and Cyclosorus acuminatus (Houtt.) Nakai ex H. Itô. The light intensities were adjusted to 10, 50, 100 and 200 PPFD (µmol·m-2·s-1) based on the measurement of the various indoor light quantities. The experiment was conducted for a total of 8 weeks, and the light period (12/12h), temperature (25±1℃), and humidity (55±3%) were maintained during the experiment. The control plant group was grown in glass greenhouse for the same period. As the result of the study, in door C. japonica showed better growth under light intensities of 100, 200 PPFD. However, withering of the plants were observed under all light intensities except the control, which causes an ornamental value decrease. This seems to be related to the increase of DIo/RC value in chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. In the W. japonica growth data, the plant height was not significantly different from the control but, the leaf number decreased more than a two-fold. Also, the formed leaves turned brown and showed a poor growth and SPAD value at 200 PPFD had decreased significantly. Growth data of C. acuminatus was not significantly different with the control at all light intensities however, withering was observed at 100 and 200 PPFD. In chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, significant decrease in Pi_Abs and increase in DIo/RC value at 200 PPFD impose that stress caused by the intense light might be the reason of the withering of the plants.

  • Pine forest communities developed in Mt. Palgong, southeastern Korea, were studied phytosociologically, with special reference to multiple management of local forests, and were classified into two communities, Pinus densiflora - Quercus mongolica community(I : mountain forest) and P. densiflora-Climbing plants community (II : valley forest) and six subgroups accompanied by several subgroups. Judging from the coincidence method, the division of communities (vegetation units) was closely related to altitude and topography. Based on vegetation units, a vertical distribution map of pine forest communities was prepared. The species composition(%) of pine forest communities under stratification, in upper and lower tree layer, teas I higher than II, in middle and shrubs lacer II higher than I (Total : Upper 15.5%, Middle 28.4%, Lower 34.6%. Shrubs 21.5%. Sum of mean coverage%i of understory vegetation was II twice as high as I (Total. shrubs 28.4%. forbs 11.4%, Graminoids 11.8%, ferns 1.0%). Based on constance, coverage and d.b.h. class etc., an actual growth and occurrence table of tree species and understory vegetation by vegetation unity were prepared, and could assume a criterion for judging potential dominance-growth conditions.

  • Karl Foerster had the most significant influence on the establishment of the German garden culture. From the viewpoint of planting design, in particular, he greatly contributed to the selection of new materials and the distribution of gardens. Therefore it is worth re-exploring his garden in that he triggered the use of natural planting that is widely used these days and already used ornamental grasses in his garden designs. This study aimed to review Foerster's garden to understand his planting design methods and their historical significance. The results suggest: Firstly, in spatial structure he designed sunken gardens influenced by the climate and triggered the use of natural planting by applying naturally open meadow, ferns and grasses. Secondly, in terms of the use of materials, he pointed out the necessity to use perennial plants. He bred perennial plants that the general public could easily grow and that were resistant against cold and created show gardens to demonstrate the characteristics of the plants and possible combination methods to the public. Thirdly, in terms of the aesthetical principles of his planting design, he focuses on colors and seasons and was interested in blue, yellow and white colors. In doing so, he developed new varieties such as Delphinium, Rudbeckia and Phlox. He emphasized the necessity of seven seasons, which served as the ancestor of contemporary winter gardens.

  • Dryopteris crassirhizoma is one of the naturally occurring substance wood ferns and is known for having anti-inflammatory, antiviral and anthelmintic activities. However, there is less report about its anticancer effect in human cancer cell lines. In the present study, the effect of methanol extract of dryopteris crassirhizoma (MEDC) on apoptosis in human oral cancer cell lines (MC3 and HN22 cells) was investigated. MEDC inhibited cell viability and induced apoptosis. MEDC significantly increased Bak and truncated Bid proteins in MC3 cells and elevated only truncated Bid compared to the control while other Bcl-2 family proteins were not altered. MEDC has anticancer activity by inducing apoptotic cell death through the regulation of either Bak or Bid. These findings suggest that its extract possibly may be used for treating oral cancer.

  • 고사리(Ferns)는 고사리 속(Pteiidium spp.)에 속하는 양치식물의 총칭으로서 우리나라에는 22과 70속 272종이 분포되어 있는 것으로 보고되었다. 고사리의 어린 순에는 가식부 100g 당 칼슘 15.0mg, 칼륨 185.0mg 등이 함유되어 있으며 골다공증, 심혈관질환 등에 효과가 있고 식이섬유로 인해 변비 예방에도 유용한 것으로 알려져 있다. 2017년 기준 우리나라의 고사리 재배면적은 3,280ha 수준으로 그중 전라북도의 고사리 재배는 재배면적 285ha이며 연간 생산량 1,985톤으로 전국 생산량의 21%를 차지하고 있어 전라북도의 산채 재배작목 중 중요한 비중을 차지하고 있다. 고사리 재배는 정식 후 수확기간이 길고 제초노력 등의 노동력 의존도가 상대적으로 낮아 최근 재배면적이 늘어나고 있는 추세이나, 종근의 적정 규격 등에 대한 기준이 제시되지 않아 경영비 부담이 큰 실정이다. 본 연구는 고사리 종근 규격을 종근 두께 기준 A등급($14.1{\pm}3.31mm$), B등급($8.3{\pm}1.88mm$), C등급($3.3{\pm}2.31mm$)로 구분하여 표고 500m의 허브시험장 연구포장에 3월 28일 정식한 후 2018년 4월부터 신초 출현양상 및 수량성을 조사하였다. 파종 2년차 고사리 신초의 출현양상은 4월 11일부터 출현을 시작하여 6월 11일 까지 빠르게 증가하여 7월 9일 이후 고온기이후 증가세가 완만해지는 경향을 보였고 9월 10일까지 누적 신초수는 A 등급 파종구에서 80.0개를 보였다. 신초 출현 후 포자엽이 전개되어 상품성을 상실하기까지의 포자엽 전개일수는 주 수확시기인 4~5월에는 5.3~6.7일이 소요되었으나, 포자엽 전개이후 울폐가 이루어지는 8~9월에는 9.7~11.7일이 소요되어 생육 초기 차광에 의한 전개일수 연장효과가 기대되었다. 생육기간 동안 조사시기별 신초의 두께는 6월 11일과 9월 11일 조사한 신초에서 굵어지는 경향을 보였고, 상품성 있는 고사리 신초의 규격을 신초장 20cm로 포자엽 전개 직전으로 한정하여 수확을 실시한 결과 파종 2년차 수확은 4월18일 이후 4회 이루어졌으며 신초의 생체중은 5.2~6.0g/개의 범위로 종근 규격 간에는 차이가 인정 되지 않았다. 4월 18일에서 5월 8일까지의 수확기간 동안 누적 신초 수확량은 A 등급과 B 등급의 종근을 파종한 처리에서 각 32.2개/$m^2$, 30.3개/$m^2$로 C 등급 파종구에 비해 유의하게 수확 신초수가 증가하였다. 단위면적당 신초 수량성은 4월 30일 3회차 수확시부터 종근 규격간 차이가 있었으며 누적 신초수량은 A 등급과 B 등급 파종구에서 각 183.3kg/10a, 169.9kg/10a로 유의하게 높았는데 이는 파종된 종근의 두께에 따라 상품성 있는 신초 출현수가 유의하게 증가된 때문으로 판단되었다.

  • Forest vegetation classification and species composition of Mt. Ilwol, Yeongyang-Gun, Korea, were studied combining the Braun-Blanquet approach with numerical syntaxonomical analyses (TWINSPAN). Vegetation types and various ecological characteristics such as flora, constancy classes, species ratio of life-form, species diversity and importance value were analyzed. Sixty-eight samples were taken from a $100m^2$ square plot each. Forest communities were identified as two great types: arid landform of mountainside (AM) and humid fertility of piedmont and valley (HP). The former was divided into 3 communities (Rhododendron mucronulatum, Quercus variabilis, Hosta capitat community) and 2groups, and the latter into 3 communities (Tilia amurensis, Vitis coignetiae, Philadelphus schrenckii community) and 2 groups. Vegetation was classified into 8 units. Floristically, the most represented family was Compositae with 26 species. Species with percentage constance degree of more than 61% was Quercus mongolica (72.1%, IV); Carex siderosticat (III) and Fraxinus rhynchophylla (III) were 50.0 and 41.1%, respectively. Life-forms species ratios for trees, subtrees, shrub, vines, grominoids, forbs and ferns were 18.5, 5.7, 14.9, 6.6, 8.8, 42.4 and 3.1%, respectively, PH type showed from $1.70{\pm}0.50\;to\;1.97{\pm}0.57$ and AM type was from $1.40{\pm}0.18\;to\;1.62{\pm}0.20$ in species diversity; therefore, the former type showed higher species diversity than the latter, According to importance value analysis, Pinus densiflora, Quercus mongolica and Q. variabilis were higher in the tree layer, Q. mongolica in the subtree layer, Fraxinus sieboldiana, R. schlippenbachii, etc. in the shrub layer and Carex siderosticta, Carex humilis, etc. in the herb layer.
