This experiment was carried out to determine the adequate amount of nitrogen for densely and lately seeded soybean, and the results obtained are as follows; 1) Various fertilization amounts of nitrogen did not effect the date of emergency, but the flowering and the maturing dates were delayed at the plots fertilized the nitrogen heavily. 2) In accordance with an increasing amount of nitrogen fertilization, the length of the stem and the internode was s gnificantly enlongated but the stem diameter was thinned down, and the latter was suggested to be the cause of lodging. 3) The 1,000 grain weight and the number of pods per hill were decreased according to the increasing the amount of nitrogen fertilization. 4) A highly significant difference in grain yield was recognized between varieties but among treatments. However, in case ot the extremly late cultivation, the grain yield of the early maturing variety (Choongbukbaek) was increased at the plot of 6 kg nitrogen.

Two soybean cultivars different in plant type, Hwanggeumkong and Suweon-125, were planted under two different planting densities to investigate the proper planting densities after barley crops. The results obtained are summarized as follow: 1. No apparent varietal differences due to the planting densities were observed in flowering time and maturity. 2. The number of nodes of main stem showed significant differences between plant types, while they were not significantly different between planting densities. The number and length of branches per plant were apparently decreased as the planting densities were higher. 3. The number of pods per plant, and number and weight of grain per plant decreased as the planting densities increased and they showed also significant differences between planting densities. However, the number of pods, and number and weight of grain per unit land area were increased as the planting densities increased. 4. The grain yield per 10a showed significant cultivar difference under different planting densities. The Hwanggeumkong, determinate type, showed highest grain yield at the planting densities of $60{\times}7.5cm$, while Suweon-125, indeterminate type, highest at the planting densities of $60{\times}5.0cm$.

Changes in activity of gibberellin $3{\beta}-hydroxylase$ which converts $[^3H]GA_{20}\;to\;GA_1$ were studied during seed maturation using partially purified enzyme preparations of two cultivars, Kentucky Wonder (normal) and Masterpiece (dwarf) of Phaseolus vulgaris. The specific activity of $3{\beta}-hydroxylase$ per seed reached maximum at 21 days after flowering and subsequently decreased during seed maturation in both cultivars. The ratios of conversion of $[17-^{13}C,\;^3H_2]GA_{20}\;to\;GA_1.\;GA_5,\;and\;GA_6$ by the same amount of $3{\beta}-hydroxylase$ were almost identical. Epoxidation of $GA_5\;to\;GA_6$ is also catalyzed by the partially purified $3{\beta}-hydroxylase$ preparation(Kobayashi et aI., 1991) and the conversion was inhibited by the substrates of $3{\beta}-hydroxylase$. These results suggest that the same enzyme might catalyze $3{\beta}-hydroxylase{\;}of{\;}GA_{20}\;to\;GA_1$ and epoxidation of $GA_5\;to\;GA_6$..

The first Protestant medical missionary, Horace Allen, came to Korea in 1884 and built the first western-style hospital, Jaejungwon. John Heron, Oliver Avison and other foreign medical doctors soon followed. They established hospitals and medical schools, and, by treating patients and educating native doctors, they disseminated and developed modern medicine in Korea. At the same time, they wrote letters and reports to their sponsoring agencies, as well as family and friends, thereby leaving a vast body of literature that is scattered all over the world. Since the end of the 19th century, the records left by foreign medical missionaries have been valuable resources for the study of Korean history. While all types of records, such as diaries, memoirs, reports and travel logs, are available, these tend to be exaggerated or unverifiable because they are unilateral records. In contrast, letters can be verified because they are bilateral records between the recipient and the sender, and cannot be modified or altered according to changes in circumstances. Despite the academic value of these materials, however, there have been insufficient efforts to discover or identify these primary data sources, or to systematically organize them for scholars. This paper identified 49 archival collections from 29 institutions in North America. After analyzing their academic value, the paper will explore digital humanities options in utilizing the letters for future scholarship.

The purpose of this comparative study is to investigate the differences of growth behaviors (height, weight, yield capacities etc.) and germination characters (induced photo-dormancy) among the three different species of Arnaranthus sp. The results obtained are summarized as follows. The growth of the cultivar of A.hypochondriacus was more vigor than that of the wild plant of A.retroflexus during the whole life cycle. The fresh weight, dry weight, yield capacity of A.hypochondriacus were much more higher than those of the others two species (A.retroflexus and A.Cruenthus). There are very different germinability formation and induced dormancy patterns between the cultivar and wild plant during seed formation periods. The cultivar of A.hypochondriacus was not induced primary dormancy in the any seed formation stages but wild plant of A.retroflexus was induced deep true dormancy. We suggested that these differences occured by the sum of different absorption of solar energy spectrum by the different seed colors between the cultivar (white color seed) and wild (black seed). And we confirmed the different absorption spectrum of the three different Arnaranthus sp. seeds.

This research was performed to breed new columnar-typed apple variety for pollinator in apple orchard. We cross-fertilized 'Hongro' that was an ovary parent and 'Maypole' a pollen parent in 2003. We gathered seeds in 2003 and sowed after breaking of dormancy in 2004. Seedlings was been growth and development till flowering. After fruit setting, We investigated characteristics of growth and fruit including mating compatibility from 2010 to 2012, then finally selected '03-2-95' named 'Tinkerbell' in 2012, registered as new variety on Korea Seed & Variety Service in 2015. The full bloom stage of 'Tinkerbell' was later 2 days then of 'Maypole'. Tree habit of 'Tinkerbell' was alike to of 'Maypole', for example weak tree vigor, columnar type. But there were many different characteristics between 'Tinkerbell' and 'Maypole'. Fruit shape of 'Tinkerbell' was ovoid whereas of 'Maypole' was ellipsoid. Fruit of 'Tinkerbell' was bigger, smoother skin, no waxy bloom than of 'Maypole'. Fruit of 'Tinkerbell' was more delicious than of 'Maypole' because of having higher soluble sugar content and lower titratable acidity. 'Tinkerbell' was excellent pollinator in apple orchard. Because of having high fruit setting rate with major apple varieties and a narrow tree width that was advantageous as pollinator in apple high density system.

This study aims at investigating the effect of soil moisture control and truss limited high density culture on the growth, fruit yield and quality of tomato. To minimize of loss yield of tomato, flower cluster in number was limited to two and three truss and planting density was raised. Soil moisture control was started from 40 days after anthesis and irrigation point was set in -30kPa and -50kPa, which were compared with -10kPa For high density culture, the planting number of truss limited high density culture was planted twice as many as control. Soil moisture repression reduced the growth of stem diameter, leaf and plant height. Leaf chlorophyll content was higher in -50kPa and -30kPa than control. No significant differences, however, shows in -10kPa. The occurrence rate of bloom-end rot and cracking was increased by growing of irrigation repression. Pinching three fruit truss was higher than pinching two fruit truss in the occurrence rate of them. Soil moisture repression resulted in the reduction of fruit weight and in special, truss limited high density was distinctly decreased in -50kPa. The number of fruit was not affected by soil moisture control, but 3rd flower cluster was lower than 2nd flower cluster in the number of fruits and 2nd one was lower than 1st one. Under irrigation repression, rate of dry matter tended to grow in -30kPa, -50kPa compared with control and pinching three fruit truss was higher than two truss. Marketable yield dropped to 36.7%m 46.3 in -30kPa, -50kPa on pinching two fruit truss and dropped to 27.3%, 32.3% in 3rd flower cluster compared with control.

In order to study the red-coloring effects of hot pepper fruit by light treatment during after-ripening period, 'Karak Geumjang No. 2 green hot pepper fruits, Capsicum annuum L., after 30 to 35 days from flowering were harvested and white, red and blue light treatments at the energy level of $40\;{\mu}watt/cm^2/sec$ were given at $25^{\circ}C$. When compared with white light, total chlorophyll content was strikingly decreased by blue light treatment and no difference in the chlorophyll contents between red and white light was observed. The chlorophyll a and b showed a similar decreasing patterns as shown in the case of total chlorophyll. Total carotenoid content was higher in the blue light treatment by 31% than the white light. However, red light decreased the carotenoid condent as compared to the white light treatment. But ${\beta}-carotene$ was not changed by red light as compared to white light. Blue light treatment increased ${\beta}-carotene$ content (0.71 mg%-f.w.) as compared to white light treatment (0.56 mg%-f.w.). Therefore, blue light treatment increased red-coloring responses of hot pepper fruit during after-ripening period. The capsaicin content was slightly increased by blue light and no red light influence was observed.

This study was carried out to identify the effect of sucrose, calcium, and boron on the increase of pollen germination frequency in peach $(Prunus\;persica\;_{SIEB})$ under various temperature levels. The highest pollen germination was obtained at $20^{\circ}C$. Pollen germination was completed in 3.5 hrs. after planting of pollen on the basal medium which was composed of 1% agar and 10% sucrose, and conditioned pH 5.5. The optimum concentrations of sucrose and $H_3BO_3$ at $25^{\circ}C$ were 10% and $100\;mg\;{\cdot}\;L^{-1}$, respectively. However, $CaCl_2$ inhibited pollen germination in peach. Eight peach cultivars showed significantly different germinabilities at $10^{\circ}C$ on the basal medium. 'Nagasawa-Hakuho' showed the highest germinability of 26.1%, and 'Baekmijosaeng' showed the lowest germinability of 0.1%. $H_3BO_3$ strongly promoted pollen germination frequency when added to the germination medium at $10^{\circ}C$. Optimum concentration was $100\;mg\;{\cdot}\;L^{-1}$.

The study was conducted to investigate the correlation analysis between fruit quality and climatic parameters in grapevines. 'Campbell Early', one of the major grape cultivars, occupies more than 70% of cultivated areas in Korea. Recent research results have shown that the movement of cultivation area of fruit production resulted from the temperature increase. In this study, we investigated the relationship between fruit quality and climatic conditions in 13 major 'Campbell Early' grape producing areas (i.e., Sacheon, Jinju, Naju, Dangjin, Cheonan, Gimcheon, Yeongdong, Okcheon, Sangju, Suwon, Yeongju, Gangneung, Chuncheon, and Yanggu). The earliest and latest full blooming days of grapevines were ovserved on May 25 in Sacheon area and on June 7 in Yanggu area, respectively. At least 90 days are required for grapes to mature enough for the production of highquality fruits. The southern areas with less than 90 days of maturity period had difficulty in the production of good fruit. However, the areas with longer maturity period of 100 to 110 days produced grapes with with high sugar content and good coloring. The fruit qualities of 'Campbell Early' grapes are more closely related with temperature than other climatic factors. High temperature resulted in fruits with high acidity and delayed the coloration of the fruit skin in the southern area. The fruit skin was thin in the southern area and inclined to be thicker in the northern areas. Therefore, grape should be cultivated in regions with long maturity period to have high quality.
