A backlight unit for a 42-inch LCD TV was manufactured with red, green, and blue LED lamps. The luminous and light extraction efficiencies of the LED lamps were increased by improving their light reflection structures and thermal properties. The blue, green, and red LED lamps showed different luminous efficiencies as a function of the input current. Compared to the conventional red LED lamp, however, the developed red LED lamp showed very high luminous efficiency in a low drive current. Taking these luminous efficiencies into account, the fabricated backlight unit showed high energy efficiency, low power consumption, and a wide color gamut.

식물공장은 외부 환경요인에 관계없이 효율적인 공간활용을 통해 작물의 생산성 및 경제성을 극대화시켜 생산할 수 있는 획기적인 기술이다. 본 연구은 엽채류 중만추대 열풍적치마상추, 만추대 청치마상추, 그린 로메인상추, 그린골 양상추, 개량사또 쑥갓과 영진 청경채를 대상으로 식물공장에서 실험하였다. LED 시스템을 이용하여 광원의 종류를 적색, 청색, 적색+청색, 적색+청색+백색, 적색+적외선 혼합광으로 구성하였다. 적색+청색 혼합광에서 적색과 청색의 조사기간 비율은 1 : 1, 2 : 1, 5 : 1, 10 : 1로 구성하였고, duty 비는 100%, 99%, 97%로 구성하였다. 광원의 종류에 따른 결과 로메인상추에서 지상부 건중량과 S/R 비는 R+B 혼합광에서 가장 높았고, 양상추의 지하부 건중량과 쑥갓의 S/R 비는 R+B+W 혼합광에서 높았지만, 나머지 종에서는 차이가 없었다. 적색과 청색의 조사기간 비율에 따른 결과 청치마상추, 양상추와 청경체는 지상부 건중량, 총 건중량, S/R비가 비교적 적색의 비율이 높은 조건 (5 : 1)에서 가장 높았다. duty 비에 따른 결과 R+B 혼합광에서 쑥갓은 100%와 99%, 로메인은 100%와 97%일 때 지상부와 지하부, 총 건중량이 높았다. S/R 비는 엽채류 6종 모두 duty 비가 낮은 97%에서 높게 나와 낮은 duty 비에서도 양호한 생육을 보였다. R+B+W 혼합광에서 청치마상추와 로메인상추 그리고 청경채는 duty 비는 낮은 97%에서도 비교적 높은 지상부 건중량 및 총 건중량을 보였다. 또한, 로메인 상추와 양상추의 S/R 비는 duty 비가 97%인 조건에서 가장 높았다. 따라서 LED 시스템을 이용한 식물공장에서 각 엽채류 별로 적절한 광원과 광질을 이용하면 외부 환경요인에 관계없이 안정적인 재배를 할 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to analyze the utilization efficiencies of electric energy and photosynthetically active radiation of lettuce grown under red LED, blue LED and fluorescent lamps with different photoperiods. Methods: Red LED with peak wavelength of 660 nm and blue LED with peak wavelength of 450 nm were used to analyze the effect of three levels of photoperiod (12/12 h, 16/8 h, 20/4 h) of LED illumination on light utilization efficiency of lettuce grown hydroponically in a closed plant production system (CPPS). Cool-white fluorescent lamps (FL) were used as the control. Photosynthetic photon flux, air temperature and relative humidity in CPPS were maintained at 230 ${\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, $22/18^{\circ}C$ (light/darkness), and 70%, respectively. Electric conductivity and pH were controlled at 1.5-1.8 $dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ and 5.5-6.0, respectively. The light utilization efficiency based on the chemical energy converted by photosynthesis, the accumulated electric energy consumed by artificial lighting sources, and the accumulated photosynthetically active radiation illuminated from artificial lighting sources were calculated. Results: As compared to the control, we found that the accumulated electric energy consumption decreased by 75.6% for red LED and by 70.7% for blue LED. The accumulated photosynthetically active radiation illuminated from red LED and blue LED decreased by 43.8% and 33.5%, respectively, compared with the control. The electric energy utilization efficiency (EEUE) of lettuce at growth stage 2 was 1.29-2.06% for red LED, 0.76-1.53% for blue LED, and 0.25-0.41% for FL. The photosynthetically active radiation utilization efficiency (PARUE) of lettuce was 6.25-9.95% for red LED, 3.75-7.49% for blue LED, and 2.77-4.62% for FL. EEUE and PARUE significantly increased with the increasing light period. Conclusions: From these results, illumination time of 16-20 h in a day was proposed to improve the light utilization efficiency of lettuce grown in a plant factory.

Phytochromes (with gene family members phyA, B, C, D, and E) are a wavelength-dependent light sensor or switch for gene regulation that underscore a number of photo responsive developmental and morphogenic processes in plants. Recently, phytochrome-like pigment proteins have also been discovered in prokaryotes, possibly functioning as an auto-phosphorylating/phosphate-relaying two-component signaling system (Yeh et al., 1997). Phytochromes are photochromically convertible between the light sensing Pr and regulatory active Pfr forms. Red light converts Pr to Pfr, the latter having a "switch-on" conformation. The Pfr form triggers signal transduction pathways to the downstream responses including the expression of photosynthetic and other growth-regulating genes. The components involved in and the molecular mechanisms of the light signal transduction pathways are largely unknown, although G-proteins, protein kinases, and secondary messengers such as $Ca^{2+}$ ions and cGMP are implicated. The 124-127 kDa phytochromes form homodimeric structures. The N-terminal half contains the tetrapyrrolic phytochromobilin for red/far-red light absorption. The C-terminal half includes both a dimerization motif and regulatory box where the red light signal perceived by the chromophore-domain is recognized and transduced to initiate the signal transduction cascade. A working model for the inter-domain signal communication within the phytochrome molecule is proposed in this Review.

In fish, light (photoperiod, intensity and spectra) is main regulator in many physiological actions including growth. We investigate the effect of light spectra on the somatic growth and growth-related gene expression in the rearing tiger puffer. Fish was reared under different light spectra (blue, green and red) for 8 weeks. Fish body weight and total length were promoted when reared under green light condition than red light condition. Expression of somatostatins (ss1 and ss2) in brain were showed higher expression under red light condition than green light condition. The ss3 mRNA was observed only higher expression in blue light condition. Expression of growth hormone (gh) in pituitary was detected no different levels between experimental groups. However, the fish of green light condition group was showed more high weight gain and feed efficiency than other light condition groups. Our present results suggest that somatic growth of tiger puffer is induced under green light condition because of inhibiting ss mRNA expression in brain by effect of green wavelength.

Tetraselmis is a green algal genus, some of whose species are important in aquaculture as well as biotechnology. In algal culture, fluorescent lamps, traditional light source for culturing algae, are now being replaced by a cost-effective light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In this study, we investigated the effect of LED light of different wavelengths (white, red, yellow, and blue) on the growth of Tetraselmis suecica and its associated microbial community structures using the next-generation sequencing (NGS). The fastest growth rate of T. suecica was shown in the red light, whereas the slowest was in yellow. The highest OTUs (3426) were identified on day 0, whereas the lowest ones (308) were found on day 15 under red light. The top 100 OTUs associated with day 0 and day 5 cultures of T. suecica under the red and yellow LED were compared. Only 26 OTUs were commonly identified among four samples. The highest numbers of unique OTUs were identified at day 0, indicating the high degree of initial microbial diversity of the T. suecica inoculum. The red light-unique OTUs occupied 34.98%, whereas the yellow-specific OTUs accounted for only 2.2%. This result suggested a higher degree of interaction in T. suecica culture under the red light, where stronger photosynthesis occurs. Apparently, the microbial community associated with T. suecica related to the oxygen produced by algal photosynthesis. This result may expand our knowledge about the algae-bacteria consortia, which would be useful for various biotechnological applications including wastewater treatment, bioremediation, and sustainable aquaculture.

Phosphorylation of cellular proteins is a key regulatory mehanism for signal transduction pathway in living cells. Phytochrome, a red/far-red light photoreceptor in plants, is known to employ protein phosphorylation for its light signaling, although its detauked mechanism is still ambiguous. This study is intended to identify the phosphoproteins and protein kinases that are regulated by phytochrome, by employing transgenic rice seedlings that overexpress Arabidopsis phytochrome A. Red light stimulated phsophorylation of a 70 kDa protein and far-red light negated the effect. The red light induced phosphotylation of the 70 kDa protein was strongly activated by heparin and inhibited by poly-L-lysine, suggesting that the 70 kDa protein phosphorylating kinase belongs to GSK-3/SHAGGY protein kinase that has functional roles in establishing cell fate and pattern formation in Drosophila. Taken together with the fact that phytochrome controls plant development, these results may suggest that a GSK-3/SHAGGY-related protein kinase in plant(ASK) is likely to be involved in phytochrome signal transduction.

시설 재배지 내 담배가루이의 밀도 예찰을 위하여 여러 종류의 LED등(청색등, 녹색등, 적색등, 백색등)에 대한 유인력을 평가하였다. 유인력 평가는 황색끈끈이트랩에 부착된 담배가루이의 포집 수를 대상으로 하였다. 평가용 케이지 내에서 기주식물이 없는 조건에서 유인력은 청색등(107.3±2.5마리) > 백색등(83.0±12.1마리) > 적색등(58±21.8마리) > 녹색등(39.7±8.1마리) 순서로 나타났다. 먹이를 주입한 상태에서 유인력은 청색등(52±17.4) > 적색등(38.7±5.8) > 녹색등(12.7±1.5) > 백색등(11.7±5.0) 순서로 관찰되었다. 두 실험 조건에서 모두 청색등에서 유인력이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 기주식물을 넣었을 때 LED등 유인력이 감소하는 것을 확인하였는데, 백색등(85.9%) > 녹색등(68.1%) > 청색등(51.6%) > 적색등(33.3%) 순서로 나타나 기주식물이 LED 등 유인력 감소에 영향이 있음을 확인하였다. 상대적인 방제력 평가에서는 기주식물을 처리한 6시간 이후에 적색등(66.7%) > 청색등(48.5%) > 녹색등(31.9%) > 백색등(14.1%) 순으로 높았다(F_3,8 = 14.7, P = 0.001). 따라서 청색등은 초기 유인력이 매우 높은 특징을 보였고, 적색등은 기주식물의 투입에 영향을 받지 않아 담배가루이 유인에 적합성이 있음을 확인하였다. 야외 실증실험에서는 낮은 온도조건에 의해 높은 유인력은 관찰되지 않았지만, 청색등과 적색등에서 대조구 대비 높은 유인력이 관찰되었다. 향후 적색과 청색을 활용한 LED등은 시설재배지 내 담배가루이의 예찰에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Red sea bream, Pagrus major a fish species characterized by its dualistic feeding pattern, was investigated to study the synchronizing effect of light and food on the demand-feeding rhythm. Nocturnal and diurnal red sea bream, both in groups and individually, were exposed to restricted-feeding and Light-Dark cycles of different periods. The phase relationship between both zeitgebers was also studied. In some cases, food availability restricted to the light or dark phase contrary to that of the previous feeding phase changed a diurnal feeding pattern into nocturnal and vice versa, suggesting that food can be one of the switching factors that decides whether the circadian system of red sea bream is diurnal or nocturnal. However, the fact that the feeding pattern of some fish was unrelated with the phase in which food was available suggests that other internal and/or external-factors could be involved in the temporal flexibility of red sea bream.
