  • The coat protein gene of iris severe mosaic potyvirus, which was isolated in Korea, ISMV-K, from iris plant was cloned and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The coat protein of the virus contained 252 amino acid residues, including five potential N-glyxosylation site motifs. The coat protein of ISMV-K has 99.1% and 98.4% sequence identities with those of the Netherlands isolate of ISMV (ISMV-Ne) form crocus for the nucleotide and amino acids, respectively. The coat protein of ISMV-K has 50.4% to 60.3% nucleotide sequence identities and 47.3% to 55.7% amino acid identities with those of other 21 potyviruses, indicating ISMV to be a distinct species of the genus. The coat protein of ISMV-K was closely related with bean yellow mosaic virus and clover yellow vein virus in the phylogenetic tree analysis among the potyviruses analyzed. ISMV was easily and reliably detected from virus-infected iris leaves by RT-PCR with a set of the virus-specific primers.

  • The objective of this research was to select the native shade tolerance plant which grows well from landscape objective of the urban. Seven species native ground cover plants were evaluated on the growth and chloropyll under 0, 40, 60, 90% shading treatments. Hosta longipes was showed the quite good growth from 60% level of natural light. The plant growth of Liriope platyphylla was good within $144.2{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ intensity which is 90% shade level of natural light. But, Dryiopteris crassirhizoma was judged with shade tolerance plant which grow quite well from shading condition level of 60% degree. Carex siderosticea was showed the highest plant length and plant width in 40% shading of natural light more than at conditon too much shading. Hosta longipes, Liriope platyphylla, Dryiopteris crassirhizoma, and Carex siderosticea were as shade tolerance plant with increases chlorophyll content well to overcome a light restrictive condition and is adapted to seem with the result.

  • In case of using rapid vacuum-freeze drying for high quality dry flower of flowering plant, the morphological and physiological characteristics of dry rose showed as the following. The dry ratio of about 82% presented after 1 day in case of using rapid vacuum-freeze drying and it was reached that the optimum storage water content of general dry products was 18%. The dry ratio of about 89% presented after 4 days. This result indicates very short dry time comparing with natural dry time of 12 days. Also, the morphological characteristics of flowering plant in case of vacuum-freeze drying showed similar shape with real flower. The contraction decreased about 9% comparing with real flower under dry time of 72 hours. But the contraction in case of natural dry decreased 36% and showed noticeable difference. The brightness which affects physiological characteristics of dry flowering plant showed lower values according to the dry process and chromaticity was thick. After 4 days, natural dry was thick with about 2 times comparing with vacuum-freeze drying. In case of vacuum-freeze drying, the quantity of anthocyanin and chlorophyl which affect discoloration and bleaching of dry flowering plant showed the clear difference comparing with natural dry method due to the sublimation by vacuum after rapid freeze with short initial time.

  • This study was conducted to evaluate resistance of 10 different cowpea cultivars which were introduced from the United States against two major root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne arenaria and M. incognita, that affect greenhouse crop cultivation in Korea. The results showed that the resistance of the tested cultivars to the root-knot nematodes varied with the cultivar. Texas Cream 40 showed moderate resistance to M. arenaria whereas the other cultivars were susceptible. Purple Hull Pinkeye and Texas Pinkeye Purple Hull were found to be resistant to M. incognita, whereas Mississippi Silver showed moderate resistance and the other cultivars were susceptible. As the cultivars exhibit resistance to M. arenaria and M. incognita, such cultivars resistant to root-knot nematodes should be considered during the cultivation of cowpea as a green manure crop.

Performance and Economic Analysis of Natural Gas/Syngas Fueled 100 MWth Chemical-Looping Combustion Combined Cycle Plant (천연가스/합성가스 이용 100 MWth 매체순환연소 복합발전 플랜트의 성능 및 경제성 평가)

  • In this study, performance and economic analysis of natural gas/syngas fueled 100 MWth chemical-looping combustion (CLC) combined cycle plant were performed. Net efficiency of both cases was 53~54%, corresponding to previous research. We used Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index and Guthrie method to evaluate plant cost. For syngas fueled CLC combined cycle plant, the plant cost was higher since lower heating value(LHV) of syngas was lower than that of natural gas and cost of electricity(COE) was also higher since the cost of syngas was higher than that of natural gas. By sensitivity analysis, it was shown that the cost of syngas should be less than 5.3 $/GJ in order to make COE lower than 5.8 ¢/kWh which was COE of natural gas fueled CLC combined cycle plant.
