Moreover, the 37 production of medicinal plants in Korea is steadily increasing every year due to the awareness about the 38 medicinal properties such as antioxidizing properties. 39 Perilla frutescens var. acuta Kudo (Perilla) is native to mountainous areas of China, India, and other should be started from page 2. extract has been used to treat various ailments countries, and‘Introduction’ is grown mainly in Asia (Yu, 1997).

Br. (Salvia) were sown in 200-cell 53 plug trays containing a commercial medium (Tosilee medium, Shinan Grow Co., Jinju, Korea) and 54 germinated seedlings were grown at 25°C, 80% RH, and 200 μmol·m-2·s-1 PPFD in a closed-type plant 55 factory (7.7 m × 2.5 m × 2.7 m, Green Industry Co., Changwon, Korea). 56 57 Light Treatments 58 The light intensity treatments were given by maintaining the plants under the fluorescent lamps 59 (F48T12-CW-VHO, Philips, Eindhoven, the Netherlands) at different heights so that the shoot tips receive 60 light at an intensity of either 300 or 500 μmol·m-2·s-1 PPFD. The PPFD was measured with a digital 61 photometer (HD2102.1, Delta OHM, Padova, Italy). 62 63 64 65 66 Results Results: Font-Times New Roman; Size-12; Style-Bold; Location-Center Growth and development measured at the vegetative growth stage (38 days after treatment initiation) 67 of both species as affected by light intensity are shown in Fig. 2.Text: The shoot and root growth was Size-11; promotedSpacing-1.5; in Font-Times New Roman; Indentation-1.0 cm the T1 than in the other treatments. Quality characteristics at the vegetative growth stage of both species as 68 affected by light intensity are shown in Table 1. Plant height of Perilla was the greatest (27.0 cm) in the T1 2 69 and the least in the T3. In both Perilla and Salvia length of root, number of leaves, and fresh and dry weights 70 were not significantly different among the treatments, whereas leaf length, leaf width, and leaf area 71 decreased in the T2 and T3 treatments. As the light intensity and/or the length of cultivation period under the 72 high light intensity increase, such leaf growth parameters as leaf length, leaf width and leaf area decreased. 73 High light intensity resulted in the inhibition of non-stomatal components of photosynthesis and further the 74 prevention of photosynthesis led to the reduction of growth (Bjorkman and Powles, 1984). 75 76 Discussion 77 81 Discussion: Font-Times New Roman; Size-12; StyleHavaux and Tardy (1999) reported loss of chlorophyll and increased synthesis of anthocyanin under Bold; Location-Center high temperatures and light intensities.
