Globalization has led to an increase in foreign banks' penetration. It is argued that the presence of foreign banks may affect the banking sector of the host countries in several ways including their competition level. It is mentioned that the presence of the foreign banks could heightened the level of competition in the banking sector. Nonetheless, the impact of the foreign banks on competition could be influenced by the degree of information sharing in the banking industry. This study investigates the role of information sharing in moderating the impact of foreign bank penetration on host banking sector competition in selected developing countries. We employ panel data samples of 54 developing countries during the period from 1998 to 2016. The estimation is carried out using the two-step system of the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) regression technique. This technique is adopted due to its robustness to all forms of endogeneity. The findings of this study show that the presence of information sharing could affect the relationship between foreign banks' penetration and competition. They suggest that improvement in information sharing by a host country may help foreign banks to improve monitoring and reduce the moral hazard and adverse selection problem.

Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) Le Jolis has a systemic infection with the ascomycete Mycophycias ascophylli (Cotton) Kohlmeyer and Volkmann-Kohlmeyer with which it establishese a mutualistic symbiosis. In addition, A. nodosum is the host for the obligate red algal epiphyte, Vertebrata lanosa (L.) Christensen. Using light and electron microscopy we describe morphological and cytochemical changes occurring as a consequence of rhizoid penetration of V. lanosa into cortical host tissue. Rhizoids induce localized cell necrosis based on physical damage during rhizoid penetration. Host cells adjacent to the rhizoid selectively undergo a hypersensitive reaction in which they become darkly pigmented and become foci for hyphal development. Light and electron microscopy show that M. ascophylli forms dense hyphal aggregations on the surface of the V. lanosa rhizoid and extensive endophytic hyphal growths in the rhizoid wall. This is the first morphological evidence of an interaction between M. ascophylli and V. lanosa. We speculate that M. ascophylli may be interacting with V. lanosa to limit tissue damage to their shared host. In addition, the fungus provides a potential pathway for the transfer of materials (e.g., nutrients and photosynthate) between the two phototrophs.

주로 microtechnique를 이용하여 몇몇 아과에 속하는 진딧물 7종의 구기와 구침삽입방법에 관한 형태학적 연구를 함으로써 식물 virus병의 매개충인 진딧물에 대한 기초적 연구자료를 얻고자 본실험을 하였다. (1) 일반적인 구기의 구조에는 각종간차이가 없었다. (2) Toxoptera citricidus와 Chaitophorus chinensis에서 특히 진딧물의 구기를 자세히 관찰할 수 있었다. (3) Toxoptera citricidus에서는 수액부선이 수액선보다 다소 컸다. (4) Lachnus tropicalis 에서는 표피와 피층에서 인포내를 더 많이 통했고 기타종(Chaitopherus chinensis Myzus persicae, Aphis craccivora, Toxoptera citricidus)에서는 주로 세포간을 통하여 올피부에 도달했다. (5) 삽입흔적은 Eriosoma clemalis$\cdot$Lachnus tropicalis$\cdot$Myzus persicae에서 뚜렷했고, Chaitophorus chinensis, Aphir craccivora Toxoptera citricidus 서는 불명했교 황갈-적갈색으로 염색되었다. (6) 수액은 식물조직내에서 세포간격에 분필되어 수액내 물질에 의해 세포가 파괴되어 세포간격이 넓어진다. (7) 구침에 의한 기공에 의하여 기주식물의 생리현상이 저해되며, 2차적으로 식물병원균의 침투를 :용역하게 할 것으로 생각된다.

한국에 자생하는 겨우살이과 4종, 겨우살이, 참나무겨우살이, 동백나무겨우살이, 꼬리겨우살이 등에 대해 잎과 줄기의 해부학적 특징과 기주식물별 2차 흡기구조의 해부학적 특징을 조사하였다. 그 결과 잎과 줄기의 해부학적 특징으로 한국산 겨우살이과 4 분류군을 종과 속 수준에서 구별할 수 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 잎에서는 향축면과 배축면의 축, 중앙맥에 발달된 유관속 형태, 후벽세포의 발달 여부 등이, 줄기에서는 횡단면에서 줄기의 전체적인 형태, 큐티클층의 발달 정도, 유관속의 배열, 후벽세포와 수의 발달 여부 등이 표징형질로 조사되었다. 기주별 2차 흡기의 특징을 확인하기 위해 참나무겨우살이와 동백나무겨우살이에서 각각 7종류 및 5종류의 기주식물을 대상으로 지상부 흡기 발달 정도, 종단면에서 2차 흡기의 모양과 플랜지 발달 여부, 기주내 침투 지역과 흡기 축의 발달 여부, 2차 흡기에서 흡기세포의 위치와 짧은 흡기 가도관의 발달 여부 등 형질을 조사하였다. 조사된 형질에서 참나무겨우살이와 동백나무겨우살이는 뚜렷하게 구별되었다. 한편, 기주식물의 강도와 흡기의 발달 정도에 따라 2차 흡기의 전체적인 형태가 기주별로 다소 차이가 있었으나, 침투 지역, 흡기 짧은 가도관 세포의 발달 등 정성적인 형질들은 기주와 발달 정도에 영향을 받지 않고 항상 일정하여 계통학적으로 의미 있는 특징으로 파악되었다.

Rice blast disease caused by M. oryzae is the most devastating fungal disease in rice. During the infection process, M. oryzae secretes a large number of glycosyl hydrolase (GH) proteins into the apoplast to digest host cell wall and assist fungal ingress into host tissues. In this study, we identified a novel M. oryze arabinofuranosidase B (MoAbfB) which is secreted during fungal infection. Live-cell imaging exhibited that fluorescent labeled MoAbfB was highly accumulated in fungal invasive structures such as appressorium, tips of penetration peg, biotrophic interfacial complex (BIC), as well as invasive hyphal tip. Deletion of MoAbfB mutants extended biotrophic phase followed by enhanced disease severity, whereas, over-expression of OsMoAbfB mutant induced rapid defense responses and enhanced rice resistance to M. oryzae infection. Furthermore, exogenous treatment of MoAbfB protein showed inhibition of fungal infection via priming of defense gene expression. We later found that the extract of MoAbfB degraded rice cell wall fragments could also induce host defense activation, suggesting that not MoAbfB itself but oligosaccharides (OGs) derived from MoAbfB dissolved rice cell wall elicited rice innate immunity.

This paper presents a robotic agent design and application in the ubiquitous intelligent space. We set up an experimental environment with Bluetooth host, Bluetooth client, furniture and home appliance, and robotic agents. First, the agents basically performed patrol guard to detect unexpected penetration, and to keep home safely from gas-leakage, electric leakage, and so on. They were out to patrol fur a robbery while navigating in a living room and a private room. In this task, we used an area-based action making and a hexagon-based Q-learning to control the agents. Second, the agents communicate with Bluetooth host device to access and control a home appliance. The Bluetooth host offers a manual control to person by inquiring a client robot when one would like to check some place especially. In this exercise, we organize asynchronous connection less (ACL) between the host and the client robots and control the robot maneuver by Bluetooth host controller interface (HCI).

There were observed the host-parasite relationship between rice grains and contaminating fungi indicated by the fungal penetration degree in the tested rices. The results were as follows ; 1. The fungal penetration could be observed in the outer layer of the rices but couldn't be seen in the starch portin of the tested rices. 2. The Gram staining method was better than the PAS staining method for the observation of fungi penetration into the rices.

각종 균주중 Aspergillus spp.와 Peninillium spp.로 인공약미를 제조, 균주의 분포에 의한 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. Aspergillus spp.와 Peninillium spp.는 모두 외층에서 많은 균주를 발견 할 수 있었다. 2.염색방법으로서는 PAS염색보다는 GRAM염색방법이 균주를 감별하는데 용이하여 PAS염색방법보다 양호하였다. 3.균주를 발견할 수 없는 점등을 생각할 때 충분한 양정은 최소한 균주의 오염만은 피할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

복숭아혹진딧물의 섭식행동을 관찰하기 위해, 고추, 무, 배추, 가지, 참외 등 5종류의 기주식물에서 EPG기술을 이용하였다. 복숭아혹진딧물의 구침이 식물체 표면에 접촉된 후 전기적 연결이 일어나기까지 소요되는 시간과 맨 처음 potential drop이 일어나기까지 소요된 시간, 구침의 세포간극내에서의 활동에 의하여 일어나는 potential drop의 수, 전기적 연결신호가 나타난 시점부터 체관부를 섭식하는 순간까지 소요된 시간 등을 조사한 결과 Potential drop 수에서는 기주들 사이에 유의성 있는 차이를 나타내었다. 그러나 나머지 요인에서는 기주식물들 사이에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았지만, 참외나 배추보다는 고추, 무, 가지에서 즘 더 기주선호성과 관련된 섭식패턴들을 확인할 수 있었다.

Appressorium is a specialized infection structure of filamentous pathogenic fungi and plays an important role in establishing a pathogenic relationship with the host. The Egh16/Egh16H family members are involved in appressorium formation and pathogenesis in pathogenic filamentous fungi. In this study, a homolog of Egh16H, Magas1, was identified from an entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium acridum. The Magas1 protein shared a number of conserved motifs with other Egh16/Egh16H family members and specifically expressed during the appressorium development period. Magas1-EGFP fusion expression showed that Magas1 protein was not localized inside the cell. Deletion of the Magas1 gene had no impact on vegetative growth, conidiation and appressorium formation, but resulted in a decreased mortality of host insect when topically inoculated. However, the mortality was not significant between the Magas1 deletion mutant and wild-type treatment when the cuticle was bypassed by injecting conidia directly into the hemocoel. Our results suggested that Magas1 may influence virulence by affecting the penetration of the insects' cuticle.
