한반도의 낙엽성 참나무인 졸참나무(Quercus serrata)의 생태적 지위폭이 $CO_2$ 농도와 온도가 상승하였을 때 광, 수분 그리고 영양소 구배에서 어떻게 변화하는지 알아보고자 유리온실에서 대조구와 온난화처리구로 구분하여 재배한 후, 유식물의 20가지 형질을 측정하고 생태적 지위폭을 계산하였다. 그 결과, 생태적 지위폭은 광구배에서 대조구보다 온난화처리구가 넓어졌고, 수분과 영양소 구배에서는 대조구보다 온난화처리구가 좁아졌다. 이것은 지구온난화 진행 시 졸참나무는 광 환경에 대한 내성이 증가되고, 수분과 영양소 환경에 대한 내성이 감소될 것으로 예측할 수 있다. 주성분분석(PCA) 결과, 각 환경 구배에서 요인 1과 요인 2에 의해 대조구와 온난화처리구가 구분되었다. 생태학적 반응은 다양한 형질이 종합적으로 관여하며, 그 중에서 식물의 생산량을 나타내는 형질이 많은 부분 관여하는 것으로 판단된다.

Ginseng (Panax ginseng) is one of the most widely cultivated medicinal herbs in Korea. However, yield losses reached up to 30-60％ due to various diseases during 3 or 5 years of ginseng cultivation in the country. Therefore, successful production of ginseng roots depends primarily on the control of diseases. The objective of this study was to select potential biocontrol agents from rhizobacteria isolated from various plant internal root tissues for the control of multiple ginseng diseases as an alternative to fungicides. Among 106 Bacillus strains, two promising biocontrol agents, Bacillus pumilus strain B1141 and Paenibacillus lentimobus strain B1146, were selected by screening against root rot of ginseng caused by Cylindrocarpon destructans in a greenhouse. Pre-inoculation of selected isolates to seed or l-year-old root of ginseng resulted in stimulation of shoot and/or root growth of seedlings, and successfully controlled root rot caused by C. destructans (P<0.05). Furthermore, drenching of cell suspension of the selected isolates on seedling-growing pots reduced the incidence of Phytophthora blight after the seedlings were challenged with zoospores of Phytophthora cactorum (P<0.05). P. lentimorbus strain B1146 showed antifungal activity against various soil-borne pathogens in vitro, while B. pumilus strain B1141 did not show any. Results of this study suggest that some rhizobacteria can induce resistance against various plant diseases on ginseng.

Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is one of the most important legume crops in Egypt. However, production of faba bean is affected by several diseases including fungal diseases. Fusarium wilt incited by Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. was shown to be the most common wilt disease of faba bean in Assiut Governorate. Evaluation of 16 faba bean genotypes for the resistance to Fusarium wilt was carried out under greenhouse conditions. Three molecular marker systems (inter-simple sequence repeat [ISSR], sequence related amplified polymorphism [SRAP], and simple sequence repeat [SSR]) and a biochemical marker (protein profiles) were used to study the genetic diversity and detect molecular and biochemical markers associated with Fusarium wilt resistance in the tested genotypes. The results showed that certain genotypes of faba bean were resistant to Fusarium wilt, while most of the genotypes were highly susceptible. The percentage of disease severity ranged from 32.83% in Assiut-215 to 64.17% in Misr-3. The genotypes Assiut-215, Roomy-3, Marut-2, and Giza2 were the most resistant, and the genotypes Misr-3, Misr-1, Assiut-143, Giza-40, and Roomy-80 performed as highly susceptible. The genotypes Assiut-215 and Roomy-3 were considered as promising sources of the resistance to Fusarium wilt. SRAP markers showed higher polymorphism (82.53%) compared with SSR (76.85%), ISSR markers (62.24%), and protein profile (31.82%). Specific molecular and biochemical markers associated with Fusarium wilt resistance were identified. The dendrogram based on combined data of molecular and biochemical markers grouped the 16 faba bean genotypes into three clusters. Cluster I included resistant genotypes, cluster II comprised all moderate genotypes and cluster III contained highly susceptible genotypes.

Considering that the world population is expected to total 9 billion by 2050, it will clearly be necessary to sustain and even accelerate the rate of improvement in crop productivity. In the 21st century, we now face another, perhaps more devastating, environmental threat, namely climate change, which could cause irreversible damage to agricultural ecosystem and loss of production potential. Enhancing intrinsic yield, plant abiotic stress tolerance, and pest and pathogen resistance through agricultural biotechnology will be a critical part of feeding, clothing, and providing energy for the human population, and overcoming climate change. Development and commercialization of genetically engineered crops have significantly contributed to increase of crop yield and farmer's income, decrease of environmental impact associated with herbicide and insecticide, and to reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from this cropping area. Advances in plant genomics, proteomics and system biology have offered an unprecedented opportunities to identify genes, pathways and networks that control agricultural important traits. Because such advances will provide further details and complete understanding of interaction of plant systems and environmental variables, biotechnology is likely to be the most prominent part of the next generation of successful agricultural industry. In this article, we review the prospects for modification of agricultural target traits by genetic engineering, including enhancement of photosynthesis, abiotic stress tolerance, and pest and pathogen resistance associated with such opportunities and challenges under climate change.

본 실험은 상추의 춘파재배 시 종자의 건열처리 및 저온 처리에 따른 상추품종의 반응을 조사하고자 수행하였다. 추대반응은 저온처리, 무처리 및 건열처리 순으로 빨랐다. 초장은 저온처리에 의해 5-10 cm 가량 더 커졌으나 건열처리는 몇몇 품종의 경우 오히려 생육을 억제하였다. 건열처리와 저온처리의 차이는 정식 후 시간이 경과함에 따라 점차 상쇄되었다. 생체중은 모든 처리구간의 차이가 뚜렷하지 않았다. 'Red Gyeolku'는 매우 빠른 추대성을 나타내었으며 특히 저온처리에 의해 초장의 생육이 촉진되었다. 그러나 'Cheongchima'는 다양한 종자처리 이후에도 추대율이 높지않아 만추대성 품종으로 여겨졌다.

The plastic waste problem is deepening all over the world. Plastic wastes have serious impacts on our lives as well as environ- mental pollution. The production and use of plastics increases every year, but once they are produced, they usually roam the earth for hundreds or thousands of years to pollute the environment. Although there is growing interest in plastic issues around the world and environmental regulations are being tightened, but no clear solution has yet been found. This study suggests Environmental degradation index (EDI). EDI can help raise consumers' attention to plastic wastes. In addition, EDI will contribute to reduce them in the future. As far as we know, this is the first study. We developed EDI for the confectionery packaging. This study defines four factors that may affect the environment of confectionery packaging: greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, methane emissions, and packaging space ratio. Then we quantify the value of each element and compute EDI as the sum of the four component values. In order to evaluate the feasibility of EDI proposed in this study, confectionery-packaging materials distributed in Korea were collected and analyzed. First, the types of confectionery are classified into pies, biscuits, and snacks and basic data was collected. Then the values of the four components were calculated using existing research data on the environment. We can use the proposed EDI to determine how much a product packing affects the environment.

앵초, 설앵초와 애기나리를 인위적으로 저온 처리하여 조기에 휴면 타파시켜 동계 생산에 필요한 저온요구시간을 구명하고자 저온시간을 각각 300, 500, 700, 900시간으로 처리하여 수행한 결과 앵초는 700시간이상, 설앵초와 애기나리는 모두 500시간 이상 저온($5^{\circ}C$)을 받으면 화경장이 신장되고 개화율도 높아지는 것으로 보아 휴면이 완전히 타파된 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 앵초, 설앵초와 애기나리의 동계생산을 위해서는 $5^{\circ}C$의 저온에 $500{\sim}700$시간 이상을 두었다가 온실로 옮겨 재배하면 2월 상순에 분화상품 생산이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

Ventilation efficiency has an important role in agricultural facilities such as greenhouse and livestock house to keep internally optimum environmental condition. Age-of-air concept allows to assess the ventilation efficiency of an agricultural facility according to estimating the ability of fresh air supply and contaminants emission using LMA and LMR. Most of these methods use a tracer gas method which has some limitations in experiment like dealing unstable and invisible gas. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a straightforward method to calculate age-of-air values with CFD simulation which has the advantage of saving computational time and resources and these method can solve the limitations in experiment using tracer gas method. The main idea of LMA computation is to solve the passive scalar transport equation with the assumption that the production of the time scalar throughout the room is uniform. In case of LMR calculation, the transport of the time scalar was reversed compulsively using UDF. The methodology to validate the results of this study was established by comparing with preceding research that had performed a computing LMA and LMR value by laboratory experiments and CFD simulations using tracer gas. As a result, the error was presented similarly level of results of preceding research. Some big errors could be caused by stagnated area and incongruity turbulence model. while the computational time was reduced to almost one fourth of that by preceding research.

현재까지 에너지의 지속적인 요구는 대부분 화석연료에 의해 충족되고 있다. 하지만 화석연료의 한계성과 온실가스 발생 등의 환경문제로 인해 새로운 대체에너지 연구 개발에 대한 관심이 크다. 탈수 하수 슬러지를 연료 에너지로 전환하기 위해 슬러지 촤와 흑연의 두 가지 열수용체를 적용한 경우 마이크로웨이브 열분해 특성을 파악하였다. 두 수용체 모두 열분해 생성물 발생량은 가스, 슬러지 촤 그리고 타르 순으로 생성되었다. 열분해의 경우 생성가스의 주성분은 수소와 메탄이고 일부 경질 탄화수소 등이 포함되었다. 흑연 수용체의 경우 중질타르가 다량 발생되었고, 많은 양의 경질탄화수소가 발생되었다. 이 상의 실험결과로 볼 때 탈수 하수 슬러지의 마이크로웨이브 열분해에 의해 생성된 가스를 연료로 이용이 가능하지만, 가스 중에 함유된 응축성 PAH 타르를 처리해야 한다.

Background: Climate change is believed to be continuously affecting ticks by influencing their habitat suitability. However, we attempted to model the climate change-induced impacts on future genus Rhipicephalus distribution considering the major environmental factors that would influence the tick. Therefore, 50 tick occuance points were taken to model the potential distribution using maximum entropy (MaxEnt) software and 19 climatic variables, taking into account the ability for future climatic change under representative concentration pathways (RCPs) 4.5 and 8.5, were used. Results: MaxEnt model performance was tested and found with the AUC value of 0.99 which indicates excellent goodness-of-fit and predictive accuracy. Current models predict increased temperatures, both in the mid and end terms together with possible changes of other climatic factors like precipitation which may lead to higher tick-borne disease risks associated with expansion of the range of the targeted tick distribution. Distribution maps were constructed for the current, 2050, and 2070 for the two greenhouse gas scenarios and the most dramatic scenario; RCP 8.5 produced the highest increase probable distribution range. Conclusions: The future potential distribution of the genus Rhipicephalus show potential expansion to the new areas due to the future climatic suitability increase. These results indicate that the genus population of the targeted tick could emerge in areas in which they are currently lacking; increased incidence of tick-borne diseases poses further risk which can affect cattle production and productivity, thereby affecting the livelihood of smallholding farmers. Therefore, it is recommended to implement climate change adaptation practices to minimize the impacts.
