In May to July 2019, ovate-leaf atractylodes seedling and plant with Damping-off symptoms were observed in farmer field at Sangju and Mungyeong, Korea. Seven fungal isolates have been retrieved from diseased root tissue and identified as Rhizoctonia solani AG-5 based on morphological and molecular characteristics. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on damping-off of ovate-leaf atractylodes caused by R. solani AG-5 in South Korea.

In 2022, our investigation focused on exploring the macrofungal diversity in South Korea. Through the examination of morphological characteristics and ITS sequences of the rDNA, we successfully identified four unrecorded species (Laccaria striatula, Leotia atrovirens, Malvipezia emileia, Xerula strigosa). Detailed morphological descriptions, accompanied by photographs and molecular phylogenetic analyses were performed.

In November 2021, sponge gourd (Luffa aegyptiaca) plants with typical downy mildew symptom were observed in Korea. Based on morphological characteristics of sporangiophores and sporangia, combined with molecular phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer rDNA and cox2 mtDNA regions, the causal pathogen was identified as Pseudoperonospora cubensis (Oomycota). This is the first report of downy mildew caused by P. cubensis on L. aegyptiaca in Korea. Given that P. cubensis exhibits high disease incidence and severity on many Cucurbitaceae crops, it could pose a significant threat to sponge gourd cultivation.

The optical characteristics of merocyanine dyes have been investigated widely due to their possible application to the high efficiency photo-electric devices. The optical systems are mostly fabricated using vacuum evaporation. casting and Langmuir-Blodgett method and the arrangement and orientation of dye molecules is one of the most important factors in the study on the optical characteristics. In this study. we fabricated the molecular systems through the LB techniques and investigated the optical characteristics of merocyanine dye LB film using the oscillation characteristics of quartz crystal. It was quite interesting behavior that the resistance and frequency shift at the parallel resonance under the UV irradiation.

Ground-based measurements were conducted from August 25 to September 8 of 2011 for understanding characteristics of carbonaceous aerosols measured at Gosan. Chemical components and their sources were discussed by analysis of organic compounds with identification of primary and secondary products in particulate matter. Thus, organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) based on the carbonaceous thermal distribution (CTD), which provides detailed carbon signature characteristics relative to analytical temperature, was used to improve the carbon fractionation of the analytical method. In addition, organic compounds by gas chromatography technique with the backward trajectories were discussed for characteristics of carbonaceous aerosols. Different air-masses were classified related to the OC thermal signatures and the organic molecular markers such as aromatic acids and PAHs. We concluded that the aging process was influenced by the long-range transport from East Sea area.

We have fabricated LB ultra-thin films of maleate system by LB technique and evaluated the deposited status of LB ultra-thin films by I-V characteristics such as capacitance. It was found that the thickness of LB ultra-thin per layer is $27~30[{\AA}]$ by XRD. And, we have known that the conductivity along the horizontal direction of LB ultra-thin films was about $10^{-8}[S/cm]$, it corresponds to the semiconducting materials. Also, the I-V characteristics along the vertical direction of LB ultra-thin films was dominated by Schottky type current, the activation energy obtained by current-temperature characteristics was about 0.84[eV] and the conductivity was about $10^{-14}[S/cm]$, it corresponds to the insulator. And, the anisotropic conduction mechanism of the LB ultra-thin films in vertical direction and horizontal direction is determined by the hydrophilic group and the hydrophobic group in LB ultra-thin films. The above results are applicable to the semiconductor devices such as switching device, which function at the molecular level.

We have studied the dependence of current-voltage characteristics of Organic Light Emitting Diodes(OLEDs) on temperature-dependent variation. The OLEDs have been based on the molecular compounds. N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1, 1'- biphenyl-4, 4'-diamine (TPD) as a hole transport. tris(8-hydroxyquinolinoline) aluminum (III) ($Alq_3$) as an electron transport and Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT:PSS) as a buffer layer. The current-voltage characteristics were measured in the temperature range of 10K and 300K. A conduction mechanism in OLEDs has been interpreted in terms of space-charge-limited current(SCLC) and tunneling region.Ā᐀會Ā᐀衅?⨀頱岒ᄀĀ저會Ā저?⨀⡌ឫഀĀ᐀會Ā᐀㡆?⨀쁌ឫഀĀ᐀會Ā᐀遆?⨀郞ග瀀ꀏ會Ā?⨀〲岒ऀĀ᐀會Ā᐀䁇?⨀젲岒Ā㰀會Ā㰀顇?⨀끩Ā㈀會Ā㈀?⨀䡪ഀĀ᐀會Ā᐀䡈?⨀Ā᐀會Ā᐀ꁈ?⨀硫Ā저會Ā저?⨀샟ගऀĀ저會Ā저偉?⨀栰岒ഀĀ저會Ā저ꡉ?⨀1岒ഀĀ저會Ā저J?⨀惝ග؀Ā؀會Ā؀塊?⨀ග䈀Ā切

Fifty two Macrophomina phaseolina isolates were recovered from 24 host plant species through the 14 Iranian provinces. All isolates were confirmed to species using species-specific primers. The colony characteristics of each isolate were recorded, including chlorate phenotype, relative growth rate at $30^{\circ}C$ and $37^{\circ}C$, average size of microsclerotia, and time to microsclerotia formation. The feathery colony phenotype was the most common (63.7%) on the chlorate selective medium and represented the chlorate sensitive phenotype of the Iranian Macrophomina phaseolina population. Meantime, inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) Markers were used to assess the genetic diversity of the fungus. Unweighted pair-group method using arithmetic means (UPGMA) clustering of data showed that isolates did not clearly differentiate to the specific group according to the host or geographical origins, however, usually the isolates from the same host or the same geographic origin tend to group nearly. Our results did not show a correlation between the genetic diversity based on the ISSR and phenotypic characteristics. Similar to the M. phaseolina populations in the other countries, the Iranian isolates were highly diverse based on the phenotypic and the genotypic characteristics investigated and needs more studies using neutral molecular tools to get a deeper insight into this complex species.

Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films which have high ordered orientation and ordering structure are fabricated by LB method which deposit the ultra-thin films of organic materials at a molecular level. The electrical characteristics of stearic acid LB ultra-thin films for the horizontal direction were investigated to develop the gas sensor using LB ultra-thin films. The optimal deposition condition to deposit the LB ultra-thin films was obtained from $\pi-A$ isotherms and the deposition status of stearic acid LB ultra-thin films was verified by the measurement of deposition ratio, UV-absorbance, and electrical properties for LB ultra-thin films. The conductivity of stearic acid LB ultra-thin films for horizontal direction was about $10_{-8}[S/cm]$. The activation energy for LB ultra-thin films with respect to variation of temperature was about 1.0[eV], which was correspond to semiconductor material. The response characteristics for organic gas were confirmed by measuring the response time, recovery time, and reproducibility of the LB ultra-thin to each organic gas. Also, the penetration and adsorption behavior of gas molecule were confirmed through the organic gas response characteristics of LB ultra-thin films with respect to temperature.

In this paper, multiple regression analysis of the electrical characteristics for $HfO_2$ thin films grown by metal organic molecular beam epitaxy (MOMBE) was investigated. The electrical properties, such as, the accumulation capacitance and the hysteresis index, are the main factors to determine the characteristics of $HfO_2$ thin films. The input factors on the process are the substrate temperature, Ar gas flow, and $O_2$ gas flow. For statistical analysis, the design of experiments was carried out and the effect plots were used to analyze the manufacturing process. This methodology can predict the electrical characteristics of the thin film growth mechanism related to the process conditions.
