This paper is a part of the research into effects of increased UV-B (Ultraviolet-B, 280-320nm) upon the ecosystem of field wheat. Based on a 3-year project with intensified UV-B influencing the crop, observation and calculation were made of such factors and parameters as the morphology of a single wheat plant including its leaf area, leaf base angle and proportion of spacing between joints. The results show that the enhanced UV-B signifantly decreased wheat's SSLA, and the increased percentage of the lower LAI is associated with the change in leaf base angle and proportion of spacing between joints.

In 2016, a severe leaf spot disease was found on Iris ensata Thumb. in Nanjing, China. The symptom was elliptical, fusiform, or irregularly necrotic lesion surrounded by a yellow halo, from which a small-spored Alternaria species was isolated. The fungus was identified as Alternaria iridiaustralis based on morphological characteristics. The pathogenicity tests revealed that the fungus was the causal pathogen of the disease. Phylogenic analyses using sequences of ITS, gpd, endoPG, and RPB2 genes confirmed the morphological identification. This study is the first report of A. iridiaustralis causing leaf spots on I. ensata in China.

The epiphytic diatom flora living on leaf tissues of Zostera marina, Z. japonica and Z. caespitosa at three study sites (Dadae, Gabae, and Jangmok) located in Geoje Island has been examined from July 2001 to March 2002 bimonthly. Total 81 species in 26 genera of diatoms have been observed on leaf tissues of the 3 Zostera species throughout the present study. Cocconeis spp. were predominant on Z. japonica, whereas Navicula spp. and Nitzschia spp. were predominant on Z. marina and Z. caespitosa. The community structure of the diatom assemblages varied according to the seagrass species. Species compositions of epiphytic diatoms appear to be closely related to morphology and lifespan of seagrasses.

Yellow spot or blotch symptoms on the upper surface of leaf, without the production of velvet-like fungi on the lower surface of leaf as in the gray mold of tomato caused by Cladosporium fulvum, were observed in tomato (cv. Seokwang) plants in May, 1995, in a vinyl-house of the experimental plot of Gyeongnam Provincial Rural Development Administration, Chinju, Gyeongnam, Korea. We identified this disease as powdery mildew of tomato caused by Oidiopsis taurica (L v.) Arnaud (=Leveillula taurica), which was new to Korea. Conidia of the fungus were borne on uni- or bi-septated conidiophores which were developed through the stomata of the tomato leaf. The conidia were slender, clavate and variable in size (31~111.6$\times$13.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). The fungal conidia isolated from tomato leaves were inoculated to tomato plants, and the occurrence of the same disease was confirmed based on the symptomatology and the morphology of the pathogen reisolated.

Anatomical characters of the Bupleurum latissimum Nakai, an endemic species of Korea, were investigated to confirm its phylogenetic relationships. Compare to other species with anatomical characters, B. latissimum is very similar with B, euphorbioides and B, longeradiatum in point of lacking of pith in the stem, shape of involucres, number of vascular bundles in radical leaf and cauline leaf, and lacking stomata in adaxial leaf surface. The other hand, protruded pollen aperture character appears in B. latissimum and B. euphorbioides. On the based of anatomical characters, therefore, B. latissimum has closest relationships with B. euphorbioides and B. longeradiatum. It also needs molecular study including Asian species in order to confirm phylogenetic position and speciation process apparently.

Dark brown leaf molds growing in a vein-limited pattern have been continuously observed on the lower leaf surface of Fatoua villosa in Korea. Fifteen samples deposited in the Korea University herbarium were examined for fungal morphological characterization. Two monoconidial isolates were obtained in 2022, and molecular analysis was performed based on a combined multigene dataset of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and partial actin (actA), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1), and DNA-directed RNA polymerase II second-largest subunit (rpb2). Based on morphological features and molecular phylogenetic analysis, the fungus Pseudocercospora fatouae was identified. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first study reporting the presence of P. fatouae on F. villosa in Korea.

콩의 입중에 따른 다수성 콩 품종육성의 엽형 모델을 찾고자 기존의 품종들을 대상으로 일의 형태 및 해부학적 특성과의 관계를 조사했는데. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 엽신의 두께는 소립형 품종보다는 대립형 품종이 두꺼웠으며, 단위엽의 엽면적에서도 대립형 품종들이 큰 경향이었다. 2. 엽육조직의 관찰결과 소립 장엽형 품종과 대립 환엽형품종의 책상세포 및 해면세포가 두껍고 치밀하게 배열되어 있었다. 3. 단위엽면적당 $\textrm{CO}_2$ 흡수량, 주당 $\textrm{CO}_2$ 흡수량, 엽신 및 책상세포의 두께는 종실수량과 정의 상관이 인정되었으며, 단위엽의 엽면적과는 부의 상관을 보였다. 4. 따라서 품종간의 특성은 및 기능의 차이로서 인정할 수 있었으며 특히 $\textrm{CO}_2$ 동화량 및 엽육조직의 두께와 엽육세포의 치밀함 등은 품종간 특성차이를 나타내는데 크게 기여하였다.

Diabetic kidney disease is the most common and severe chronic complication of diabetes. The leaf of Diospyros kaki Thumb (persimmon) has been commonly used for herbal tea and medicinal purposes to treat a variety of conditions, including hypertension and atherosclerosis. However, the effect of persimmon leaf on kidney failure has not been investigated. This study aimed to examine the role of persimmon leaf in protecting the diabetes-associated kidney damage in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes. Mice were fed either a normal chow diet with or without powered persimmon leaf (5%, w/w) for 5 weeks. In addition to kidney morphology and blood markers of kidney function, we assessed levels of oxidative stress markers as well as antioxidant enzymes activities and mRNA expression in the kidney. Supplementation of the diet with powered persimmon leaf not only decreased the concentration of blood urea nitrogen in the plasma but also improved glomerular hypertrophy. Furthermore, the persimmon leaf significantly decreased the levels of hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxide in the kidney. The activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase and the mRNA expression of their respective genes were also increased in the kidney of persimmon leaf-supplemented db/db mice. Taken together, these results suggest that supplementation with the persimmon leaf may have protective effects against type 2 diabetes-induced kidney dysfunction and oxidative stress.
