The observation of branching pattern on Magnolia denudata Desr. was performed from July 1982 to September 1983 and then computer simulation was carried out. Tree crown pattern depends on not genetic factors but also environmental factors and the determination of branchin pattern which characterized it appears to properly explain the relationships such as branching pattern and allocation of materials through the analysis of influence branches under several assumptions. Now that computer simulated simulated pattern was considered as the accumulation of two factors which controled the growth, it was represented as the stimulated tree which differs in branching rate that described allocation of material necessary for the growth of each branch. There was a tendency of allocation ratio of nutrients, i.e. subbranch to main branch to decrease by the passage of year. Under assumption that branch was branched when accumulated material reached 1, it was possible to represent the allocation of nutrients are residual $nutrient{\times}\frac{1}{1+F};in main; branch, ; residual; nutrient{\times}\frac{F}{1+F}$ in subbranch, A(iA, iC)+$F^(iA-1)$ in current twig. Like this, the basic minute difference of the allocation of nutrients according to the branch resulted in complicated patterns in the tree crown.

The effects of density and soil nutrient regime on competition between individuals in pure and mixed populations of two annuals. Chenopodium album and Digitaria sanguinalis were investigated at the level of enegy allocation. Seedling emergence of two species was extremely high (>90%) in both pure and mixed culture irrespective of the density and nutrient regime, but percentage of seedling establishment or fertile plant became gradually low with increasing density owing to 'self-thinning'. The mean plant dry weight was significantly reduced with increasing density and decreasing soil fertility. The dry matter production of D. sanguinalis in mixture was markedly greater than in pure culture under medium and high density. Also, as considered the number of seed production as reproductive allocation, relationship between them and the number of seed production per plant showed a similar tendency. Therefore, these results indicated that D. sanguinalis had a greater competitive advantage than C. album and energy allocations to variious organs were regulated by plastic response rather than determined genetically.

Cellular resources including transcriptional and translational machineries in bacteria are limited, yet microorganisms depend upon them to maximize cellular fitness. Bacteria have evolved strategies for using resources economically. Regulatory networks for the gene expression system enable the cell to synthesize proteins only when necessary. At the same time, regulatory interactions enable the cell to limit losses when the system cannot make a cellular profit due to fake substrates. Also, the architecture of the gene expression flow can be advantageous for clustering functionally related products, thus resulting in effective interactions among molecules. In addition, cellular systems modulate the investment of proteomes, depending upon nutrient qualities, and fast-growing cells spend more resources on the synthesis of ribosomes, whereas nonribosomal proteins are synthesized in nutrient-limited conditions. A deeper understanding of cellular mechanisms underlying the optimal allocation of cellular resources can be used for biotechnological purposes, such as designing complex genetic circuits and constructing microbial cell factories.

Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to study carbon allocation patterns in response to N-starvation in the nearly ubiquitous diatom Chaetoceros muellerii. The role of gene expression, protein synthesis and transamination on the organic composition of cells was tested by using specific inhibitors. The results show that inhibition of key processes in algal metabolism influence the macromolecular composition of cells and and prior cell nutritional state can influence a cell's response to changing nutrient availability. The allocation of C can thus lead to different organic composition depending on the nutritional context, with obvious repercussions for the trophic web. This also shows that C allocation in algal cells is highly flexible and that C (and the energy associated with its allocation) can be variably and rapidly partitioned in algal cells in response to relatively short term perturbations. Furthermore, the data confirm and extend the utility of infrared spectroscopy as a probe of the metabolic state of autotrophic cells.

경기도 광릉의 국립수목원 내의 토양과 빛 환경이 서로 다른 낙엽활엽수림과 전나무림에서 하층식생으로 생육하는 까치박달의 자원의 획득과 이용 및 분배를 이해하기 위하여, 잎의 질소와 인 농도의 계절 변화와 재전류, 엽록소와 LMA를 조사하였다. 엽면적 지수가 상대적으로 낮은 낙엽활엽수림은 유입되는 광량이 많았고, 전반적인 토양 양분의 수준이 양호하였으나, 유효인산의 농도는 전나무림의 1/3 수준으로 현저히 낮았다. 이로 인해, 낙엽활엽수림에서 생육하는 까치박달의 경우, 잎의 인 농도가 전나무림의 까치박달 보다 연중 낮았고, 재전류율은 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 토양 내 질소 농도는 상대적으로 낙엽활엽수림에서 높았으나, 계절별 잎의 질소농도와 질소의 재전류율은 임분간의 유의적 차이는 없었다. 빛의 유입이 적은 전나무림에서는 까치박달의 LMA와 엽면적당 질소 분배가 상대적으로 낮았으며, 또한 엽록소 a/ｂ율은 낮고, 총 엽록소 함량은 높여 질소에 대한 엽록소의 비율이 높았다. 이러한 결과는 임분 조건이 서로 다른 낙엽활엽수림과 전나무림에서 생육하는 까치박달이 주어진 토양과 빛 환경에 순응하여 양분의 동태와 분배의 전략적 차이를 달리하여 생육하고 있음을 시사한다.

Background: Mixed breeding herb Viola collina Besser, which produces both chasmogamous and cleistogamous flower, has limited habitats under closed canopy and short and early flowering timing, making it relatively more vulnerable to climate change. To better understand the effect of light and nutrient on the flower formation and vegetative growth of V. collina, a mesocosm experiment was conducted. Two-by-two factorial treatments of two light conditions (100% and 60% of natural light) and two fertilizer treatment conditions (fertilized and not fertilized) were applied in the mesocosm experiment. Results: The number of flowers, including chamogamous and cleistogamous flowers, was highest (5.65/pot) under 60% light and fertilized condition and lowest (1.41/pot) under 100% light and not-fertilized condition. However, above ground vegetative growth was highest (2.89 g/pot) under 100% light and fertilized condition and lowest (2.38 g/pot) under 60% light and not-fertilized condition. Above ground biomass to belowground biomass ratio was highest (1.50) under 60% light and fertilized condition and lowest (1.26) under 100% light and fertilized condition. Conclusions: This study showed that high light and nutrient are responsible for the vegetative growth, though the effect of fertilizer was reduced due to allocation and retainment of nutrients. In addition, the low light is necessary to make flowers, especially chasmogamous flowers.

농업지역의 소하천에 흐르는 하천수는 유역의 농업활동으로 유출된 각종 영양염류의 함량이 높아 호소 유입시 부영양화의 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 농업지역의 하천수를 처리하기 위해 조성된 자유수면형 인공습지의 수문학적 유로에 따른 영양염류의 농도를 평가하고자 수행되었다. 습지내 유로에 따른 영양염류의 농도를 평가하기 위한 모니터링은 2009년 4월부터 2011년 11월까지 습지내 유로의 5개 지점에서 수행되었다. 채취된 시료는 유로에 따른 수질변화를 분석하기 위하여 질소와 인에 대한 집중적 분석이 수행되었다. 습지내 TP 저류의 원인을 평가한 결과 수온, DO 및 pH가 큰 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 습지내 유입수가 침강지를 통과한 직후 영양염류의 농도가 가장 크게 저감된 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 많은 양의 영양소가 입자와 부착된 형태로 이동하기 때문인 것으로 판단되기에 향후 습지 설계시 침강지의 기능 증대 방안 도입이 중요한 인자인 것으로 평가된다. 그러나 습지내에서 가장 큰 영양염류 저감이 발생한 지점은 유로의 85% 지점인 것으로 나타났다. 이는 습지내 미생물 및 식생흡입에 의한 영향으로 평가되기에 이를 활성화 하기 위한 얕은 습지 및 깊은 습지의 적절한 배치도 인공습지 설계에서 중요한 인자임을 보여주고 있다. 마지막 침전지 부분에서는 영양염류의 농도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 길어진 체류시간에 의한 퇴적층으로부터 용출이 원인인 것으로 평가되기에 습지설계시 침전지의 적정한 체류시간 확보가 중요한 것으로 나타났다.

The Keum river has been utilized for drinking water supply of several city including Kunsan city and is deepening pollution state due to numerous municipal and industrial discharges. The concentration BOD in river is affected by the organic loading from a tributary and the algae biomass that largely happen to under eutrophication state. In the eutrophic water mass such as the Keum river, the autochthonous BOD was very important part for making a decision of water quality management, because it was accounted for majority of the total BOD. The predict of water quality has important meaning for management of water quality pollution of the Keum river. The purpose of this study will manage and predict water quality of the Keum river using QUAL-2E model considering the autochthonous BOD. The estimation of autochthonous BOD represented that the relationship between BOD and chlorophyll a. The regression equation was shown to be autochthonous BOD=$\beta$(sub)5$\times$chlorophyll a. The results of this study may be summarized as followed; The QUAL-2E model was calibrated with the data surveyed in the field of the study area in June, 1998. The calculated value by QUAL-2E model are in good agree to measured value within relative error of 7.80~20.33%. Especially, in the case of the considering autochthonous BOD, the calculated value of BOD were fairly good coincided with the observed values within relative error of 15%. But the case of not considering autochthonous BOD, relative error of BOD was shown to be 43.2%. In order to attain II grade of water quality standard in Puyo station which has a intake facility of water supply, we reduced to the pollutants loading of tributaries. In the case of removed 100% BOD of tributaries, the BOD of Puyo station was 4.07mg/$\ell$, belong to III grade of water quality standard. But in the case of removed 88% nutrient of tributaries, it was satisfied to II grade of water quality standard as below 3mg/$\ell$ of BOD. For estimation of autochthonous BOD in Keum river, we are performed simulating in accordance with reduction of nutrient load(50~100%) under conditions removal 90% organic load. Occupancy of autochthonous BOD according to nutrient loading reductions were varied from 25.97~79.51%. Occupancy of autochthonous BOD was shown to be a tendency to increasing in accordance with reduction of nutrient loading. Showing the above results, the nutrient that one of the growing factor of algae was important role in decision of BOD in the Keum river. For the water quality management of the Keum river, therefore, it is necessary to considering autochthonous BOD and to construction of advanced sewage treatment plant for nutrient removal.

Soil nutrient management is important to maintain the constant productivity of seedling production in the nursery for successful forest restoration. This study investigated the effects of organic manure and chemical fertilizer application levels on the growth, soil properties, and nutrient concentrations of yellow poplar seedlings. One-year-old yellow poplar seedlings were treated with the combination of 3 level organic manures(0, 5 Mg/ha, 10 Mg/ha; mixture of poultry manure, cattle manure, swine manure, and sawdust) and 3 level nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium(NPK) chemical fertilizers(0, 1x(urea, $30g/m^2$; fused superphosphate, $70g/m^2$; potassium chloride, $15g/m^2$), 2x). Organic manure significantly increased the soil pH and the concentrations of nitrogen, available phosphorous, exchangeable potassium, calcium, and magnesium. In contrast, the NPK chemical fertilizer decreased the soil pH and exchangeable calcium concentration, did not affect the soil concentrations of nitrogen and magnesium, and increased the concentrations of available phosphorous and exchangeable potassium. Both organic manure and NPK chemical fertilizer treatments increased the seedling height, root collar diameter, and dry weight by 39% and 25%, respectively. The treatment with manure 5 Mg/ha and NPK 2x chemical fertilizer mostly increased seedling dry weight by 2.6 times more than that of the control. Compared to the effects of the fertilization treatments on the soil properties, the effects on nutrient concentrations in the leaves were relatively small. These findings indicate that organic manure that was derived from livestock byproducts and sawdust can be utilized with chemical fertilizer to improve seedling production as well as conserving soil quality.

In our previous work in transcriptional regulation of sugar, expression of genes encoding putative glycosyl hydrolases in Arabidopsis was induced by sugar starvation. They were annotated as b-galactosidase (At5g56870), ${\beta}-xylosidase$ (At5g49360) and ${\beta}-glucosidase$ (At3g60140), which belong to glycosyl hydrolase family that has a catalytic domain of polysaccharides. From the primary structure of deduced amino acid sequence, they were predicted to localize to cell wall. Further investigation of these cell wall hydrolases implicated that cell wall polysaccharides provide metabolizable sugars to nutrient allocation under sugar starvation.
