  • The potential sources and spatial distribution of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated in the leaf plants of Al-Zubair city. A total of 14 samples of conocarpus lancifolius plant leaf were collected and analyzed for their heavy metals and PAHs content using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and a 7890 Agilent capillary gas chromatograph (GC) respectively. Bioaccumulation factor calculation revealed the highest pollution of heavy metals , due to the activity of a petrochemical in the area. The diagnostic ratio of Ant/(Phe+Ant), BaA/BaA+Chr), In/(In+BghiP), Flu/Pyr, FlA/FlA+Pyr), FlA/FlA+Pyr), ∑LMW/∑HMW are commonly used for determining the origin and source of PAHs in various environmental media. The diagnostic ratio indicated the anthropogenic origin. PAHs with five-to-six membered rings were dominant in the plant leaf, which likely results from anthropogenic activities. The leaves of C. lancifolius have a preponderance of high molecular weight PAHs compared to low molecular weight PAHs, indicating a combustion origin (car exhaust, petroleum emissions, and fossil fuel). C. lancifolius leaves are a reliable indication of atmospheric PAHs absorption. The background level of heavy metals in the city (or the near environment) is in the order of Fe > Cu > Ni > Cr. On the other hand, the bioaccumulation in plant leaves showed greater tendencies as follows: Co>Cd>Zn=As>Cu>Mn>Ni>Pb>Cr>Fe. Cobalt showed high bioaccumulation, indicating strong uptake of Co by plant leaves. These findings point to human activity and car emissions as the primary sources of roadside vegetation pollution in Al-Zubair city.

  • 본 연구는 시설엽채류에서 재배농법별 미생물학적 안전성을 평가하기 위해서 깻잎과 상추를 대상으로 수행하였다. 유기농 및 관행 농가로부터 생산 및 수확 단계에서 식물체, 수확장갑, 수확비구니, 토양피복재 등으로부터 총 2,304개의 시료를 채취하여 Total aerobic bacteria, Coliforms, E.coli, Environmental Listeria, Yeast & mold 등의 위생지표세균과 Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella spp., Clostridium spp., L. monocytogenes등의 병원성미생물을 분석하였다. 시설엽채류의 생산과정에서는 재배농법에 상관없이 위행지표세균은 검출되지 않거나 $3.4\;Log\;CFU/100cm^2$ 이하로 검출되었다. 유기농법으로 생산되는 깻잎과 상추에서 B. cereus와 S. aureus가 0.22~1.55 Log CFU/g로 조사되었고, 관행농법에서는 S. aureus는 검출되지 않았으며 B. cereus는 0.42~2.19 Log CFU/g으로 조사되었으나 통계적 유의차는 없었다. 수확도구 및 멀칭필름에서도 재배농법과는 관계없이 위생지표세균과 유해균의 오염도는 낮았으며 차이는 없었다. 그러나 수확도구에서의 미생물 오염도가 높아질수록 식물체 표면의 미생물 오염도도 높아지는 정의 상관관계($R^2=0.4526$)가 있었다. 또한 유기농 시설엽채류 생산시 토양 피복시 위생지표세균과 병원성미생물이 검출되지 않거나 피복을 하지 않은 경우에 비하여 낮은 경향을 나타내었다. 본 연구결과, 시설엽채류 생산시 재배농법의 차이보다는 토양피복 및 수확과정의 미생물적 위생관리가 더욱 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

  • The vigor condition of trees is an important indicator for the management of urban forested area. But difficulties in how to assess the tree vigor condition still remain. Previous efforts were limited in the 1) measurement of single indicator rather than using multiple indices, 2) purpose-oriented measurement such as for air-pollution effect or specific pathological symptom, and 3) ordinal-scale evaluations by field crews 4) despite human errors based on his/her experiences or prior knowledge. Therefore, this study attempted to develop a quantitative and objective methodology for assessing tree vigor condition, by measuring multiple modules and building the profile inventory. Furthermore, the possibility and limitations were discussed in terms of schematic frames describing tree vigor condition. The vigor condition of 56 flowering cherry plants in urban park were assessed by in-situ measurements of following eight items; growth of crown(Gc), growth of shoots, individual tree volume(Vol), plant area index, woody area index, leaf area index, leaf chlorophyll content(Lc) and leaf water content(Lw). For validation, these measurements were compared with the ranks of holistic tree vigor condition, which were visually assessed using a 4-point grading scale based on the expert's knowledge. As a result, the measures of each evaluation item successfully highlighted a variety of aspects in tree vigor condition, including the states of both photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic parts. The variation in the results depending on evaluated parts was shown within an individual tree, even though the broad agreement among the results was found. The result of correlation analysis between the tested measurements and 4-point visual assessment, demonstrated that the state of water-stressed foliage of the season (Lw) or the development of plant materials since sapling phase (Vol) could be better viewed from the outer appearance of trees than other symptoms. But only based on the visual assessment, it may be difficult to detect the quality of photosynthesis (Lc) or the recent trend in growth of trees (Gc). To make this methodology simplified for the broad-scale application, the tested eight measurements could be integrated into two components by principal component analysis, which was labelled with 'the amount of plant materials' and 'vigor trend', respectively. In addition, the use of these quantitative and multi-scale indicators underlies the importance of assessing various aspects of tree vigor condition, taking into account the response(s) on different time and spatial scale of pressure(s) shown in each evaluated module. Future study should be advanced for various species at diverse developing stages and environment, and the application to wide areas at a periodic manner.

  • 원자력발전소(원전)는 운전기준지진(OBE) 초과지진 발생시 안전성 검사와 시험을 위하여 운전을 정지하여야 하는데, 계측된 지진기록의 누적절대속도(CAV)계산 값이 0.16g-sec를 초과하고 OBE 응답스펙트럼을 초과하면 OBE를 초과한 것으로 고려하게 된다. 이 CAV 기준은 발전소의 지진 특성과 구조물의 특성에 따라 다르므로, 발전소에 적합한 CAV 기준을 설정하여야 한다. 국내 원전에 적합한 CAV 기준 값을 설정하기 위하여, 각 방향에서의 지진하중에 일관되게 반응하도록 고안한 원통모양의 아크릴 봉을 조립한 지진손상표시기(SDI)를 제작, 진동대 시험을 통하여 지진의 세기를 평가하고 국내 원전 내진설계에 적용된 CAV값을 계산한 결과0.3~0.5g-sec으로 나타나 OBE 초과기준으로 CAV기준 값(0.16g-sec)의 적용은 충분히 보수적인 값으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 SDI는 발전소 운전원이 OBE 초과 여부를 판단하는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 운전 정지 후 원전의 지진 피해도를 정량적으로 판단하여 조치를 취하는 도구로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • Callus induction and somatic embryogenesis are fundamental to cotton tissue culture biotechnology. An efficient protocol for callus induction, somatic embryogenesis and their maturation have been developed to regenerate plantlets from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) variety coker 312. Embryogenic callus was initiated from hypo-cotyl region that was used as an explant at seedling stage when it was about 7-8 days old. Callus induction was achieved through culturing hypocotyls (5-7mm) on $MS_{1a} medium supplemented with 2,4-D (0.1 mg/L) and KT (0.5 mg/L) for six weeks. A friable, colorless, bulky and well proliferating callus becomes greenish with the addition of NAA (2.0 mg/L), ZT (0.1 mg/L) and removal of 2,4-D (M $S_{1b}$) cultured for two weeks then again transferred to $MS_{1a}. 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) promoted the proliferation of embryogenic callus, but had a negative effect on the differentiation and germination of somatic embryos. ZT (0.1mg/L) and activated charcoal (2g/L), both hormones play an important role in differentiation and germination of somatic embryos in hypocotyls derived embryogenic callus but in case of cotton, such a capability have been observed on MS medium with 1.92 g/L $KNO_3$, but it is considered to attain somewhat more improvement. High embryogenesis frequency was achieved through nutrient deficient stress treatment. The frequency of globular embryogenesis (two-three folds) was achieved when well proliferating callus was (from $MS_{1a}$ media) cultured on MS (1/5 strength) medium for four weeks. Here the development of anthocyanins is the best indicator for somatic embryogenesis. However, when embryoid callus was cultured on MS (full strength) medium, the globular embryos were developed into normal plantlets immediately. In this procedure 27.49% cotyledenary embryos were developed. Of that 70% cotyledenary embryos were developed not only into normal plantlets but rooted simultaneously, when cultured on MS (with 0.05 mgg/L giberrelic acid) medium. So complete plants could be regenerated through somatic embryogenesis from hypocotyl explants within 6 months.s.

  • The purpose of this study was to conduct phenology monitoring of forest plant species in Mt. JuWang National Park, thereby establish long-term prediction and management system for species susceptible to climate change, and utilize the result as basic materials necessary for conservation of plant genetic resources in accordance with changes in their growth environment. Global Positioning System coordinates were marked on each indicator species and a specific number ticket was provided to each plant. Changes in their blooming time, time of blossoms falling, time of leaves bursting into life, and time of leaves turning, and time of leaves falling were recorded. Investigation was made once per week from April 10 in 2010 to November 30 in 2011 except for the time period between July and August when investigation was made biweekly. The investigated plants concerned 12 kinds-nine species of trees and three kinds of herbs. According to the result of the penology monitoring of Mt. JuWang National Park, their time of leaves bursting into life, time of leaves turning, and time of leaves falling were largely earlier in 2011 than in 2010. However, it is hard to say that it is due to the factor of climate change. Long-term collection of climate data and continuous monitoring of plant phenology are considered necessary in order to examine correlation between climate change and seasonal change patterns of plants.
