We examined the effect of pretreatments on seed germination, seedling growth, optimal seedling density of Phellodendron amurense. The seeds were carefully purified after collection in late Oct. from natural population at Mt. Chiri. For the evaluation of pretreatment effects, seeds were sowed in an experimental nursery after being stored in open ground($2{\sim}8^{\circ}C$) with soaking in 20% $H_2O_2$, 50-fold pon-pon solution, cold moist stratification in refrigerator($2{\sim}4^{\circ}C$) and dry storage in roam temperature($4{\sim}18^{\circ}C$), respectively, For the effect of growth density of seedlings, seedlings germinated in nursery were precisely controlled with 53, 104, 220, 380 seedlings per $m^2$. Among pretreatments for the promotion of germination rate, pon-pon treatment(68.8%) was highest, the others were higher than that in dry storage(2.3%), and these seed pretreatment methods were significantly different at 1% level. The height growth of seedlings showed the most vigor from Jun.12 to Jul. 8, and from Jul.20 to Aug. 2, and it reached to 72.8% of height growth. In case of 1-0 seedling, although seedling density per $m^2$ was increased, seedling growth was decreased. The optimal seedling density was 104 seedlings per $m^2$. The standard seedlings for plantation were above height 55cm, root collar diameter 8.1mm, and root length 21cm. These results demonstrated that seed of P. amurense requires stratification for the germination promotion.

This study was conducted to define the optimal conditions for embryo growth during seed stratification and for breaking dormancy as well as seed germination of stratified ginseng seeds. The experiments were also carried out to detect some materials which were expected to induce seed dormancy in the ginseng seeds. The results summarized as follows; 1. The growth of embryo during seed stratification was significantly inhibited by the existence of endocarp. The fastest embryo growth was resulted at $15^{\circ}C$ and an estimated optimal temperature for embryo growth was about $18^{\circ}C$. 2. There was no significant difference between the embryo growth and germination ratio of ginseng seeds which were sown in seed bed at Aug-5 without seed stratification and that of artificial seed stratification. 3. Embryo growth and germination ratio was significantly inhibited by high temperature treatment at $30^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours or respiration stress by immersing seeds in water for 10 days or more. 4. When the seed stratification was started at $10^{\circ}C$, growth of embryo in the ginseng seeds were almost stopped. But, when the seeds were stratified first at $20^{\circ}C$ for 50 days and next at $10^{\circ}C$ for 50 days, the embryo growth was significantly promoted compared with the embryo growth in the seeds which were stratified at $20^{\circ}C$ for 100 days. 5. The successive embryo growth after seed stratification was significantly accelerated at $10^{\circ}C$ but the seeds chilled at $5^{\circ}C$ for 100 days were resulted in the highest germination ratio as well as the shortest days for germination. 6. The successive embryo growth during chilling treatment and seed germination were significantly inhibited by immersing seeds in water just before chilling treatment or during chilling treatment and by interruption of chilling treatment with raising temperature to $20^{\circ}C$ for 20 days during chilling treatment. 7. The germination ratio of ginseng seeds which finished chilling treatment was highest at $10^{\circ}C$ and 62.5% was the estimated soil moisture for the best germination of ginseng seeds. The ginseng seeds were found to require high amount of oxygen for germination. 8. Only water soluble material in homogenized ginseng seeds showed a significant inhibiting effect on the seed germination of sesame, millet and soybean. Water soluble material dissolved from undehisced ginseng seeds showed stronger inhibiting effect on the seedling growth of sesame than material from dehisced ginseng seeds. Extraction temperature did not influence the inhibiting effect of the material dissolved from ginseng seeds on the seedling growth of sesame. 9. Water soluble materials dissolved from the berry pulps, leaves, fresh roots and dried roots also showed a significant inhibiting effect on the seedling growth of sesame. 10. Water soluble materials dissolved from the ginseng seeds, leaves and fresh roots showed a significant inhibiting effect on the germination of true fungi and the growth of spawn but the growth of phytopathogenic bacteria was not. 11. Among the water soluble materials dissolved from ginseng seeds, the materials of low molecular weight less than 3,000 were resulted a significant inhibiting effect on the seedling growth of sesame and the materials of high molecular weight also showed an inhibiting effect.

It is important to improve the germination of grass seeds because they are poor germination under water stress. This experiment was conducted to investigate the response of seeds pre-treated individually with Polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) and growth regulators(GA$_3$, Kinetin, NAA) on the germination characteristics when two levels of osmotic potential (0, -5 bar) were put to seeds of Orchardgrass. In the untreated seeds, the total germination rate was decreased under water stress, and the mean germination time was delayed. Priming of Orchardgrass seeds using PEG or GA$_3$ resulted in improved germination under water stress(-5 bar), whereas the opposite was true of kinetin or NAA. The response of seeds primed in solutions of either -15 bar PEG or 100 ppm GA$_3$ was particulary marked compared with the untreated seeds. It is suggested that PEG and GA$_3$ may have positive regulatory effects in triggering the system for water stress alleviation. But the inhibitory effect of the water stress was not completely removed by allowing the seeds to pre-treat in solution of PEG or GA$_3$.

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of sulphuric acid, cutting, cold stratification and hot water on the germination of Sophora japonica seeds, which have difficulty to germinate because they have hard and thick seed coats. The seeds were immersed in 30, 60 and 90% sulphuric acid for 30 minutes as seed scarifications, and cut 1/8, 2/8 and 3/8 of the opposite parts of radicles. As cold stratification the seeds were wrapped in wet towel, and then stored in plastic bags in a refrigerator $(4^{\circ}C)$ for 3, 5 and 10 days. The seeds were immersed in hot water $(90{\sim}95^{\circ}C)$ for 2,5 and 10 minutes. Pretreated seeds represented different germination properties, respectively. After sulphuric acid treatment, the seeds showed an increase in germination (G) and germination index (GI). Compared to the other treatments, 90% sulphuric acid showed the highest G (31.7%) and GI (6.2). The G and GI of cut seeds decreased with the increase of seed cutting lengths. And G and GI of cold stratificated seeds were not significantly different among the days treated (p=0.258). Two minutes treatment of hot water showed lower G and Gl than control, and the seeds were not germinated in 5 and 10 minutes treatments of hot water. At the result of relative growth rate and T/R ratio of seedlings from pretreated seeds, the seedlings from seeds in 90% sulphuric acid treatment represented the highest relative growth rate and T/R ratio.

This study was conducted to determine the optimal MS medium strength to improve sprouting rate of apical meristem of strawberry 'Seolhyang' in vitro. Strawberry apical meristems at size (0.2 mm to 0.3 mm) with leaf primordials were cultured on the MS media with four strength levels, ($1/4{\times}$, $1/3{\times}$, $1/2{\times}$, and $1{\times}$) and the sprouting rate and growth characteristics were evaluated after eight weeks after cultivation. Shoot rate of 'Daewang' apical meristems was 93.6%whereas 'Seolhyang' apical meristems were sprouted with 31.6% on $1{\times}$ MS medium strength. Different sprouting rates were observed in 'Seolhyang' apical meristem with 31.6% in $1{\times}$ medium, 75.0% in $1/2{\times}$ medium, and 94.4% in $1/3{\times}$ medium. The sprouting rate was improved with the decrease of medium strength, but the shoot rate in $1/4{\times}$ medium decreased up to 54.5%. Shoot length was 0.9 cm in $1{\times}$ medium, 1.2 cm in $1/2{\times}$ medium, 1.6 cm in $1/3{\times}$ medium, and 1.9 cm in $1/4{\times}$ medium. Shoot length was longer as medium strength decreased and numbers of leaves and roots were not significant differences among the medium strengths. As a result, sprouting rate was highest and plant growth was best in $1/3{\times}$ MS medium compared to the others.

Effects of media and plant growth regulators on the germination of somatic embryos of Angelica tree(Aralia elata Seem.) was studied for the mass production of Angelica tree through tissue culture. MS medium was found to be the most effective for the germination of somatic embryos(65% germination rate), Among the MS medium, the medium containing 25% less inorganic salts and 1% less sucrose was found to be the most effective. Gelling agent with 0.2-0.3% gelrite promoted the germination of somatic embryo$(65{\sim}70%)$ and caused good growth of shoots and roots. 0.1 mg/l of BA and kinetin treatment caused $65{\sim}70%$ germination rate of somatic embryos and good growth of shoots and roots, and resulted in high percentage of dry matter. 1mg/l or 5 mg/l treatment of putrescine, and 10 mg/l treatment of spermidine caused 90% germination rate of somatic embryos and good growth of plant organs, and inhibited vitrification of regenerated plants.

The germination and the nutrient culture tests in the growth chamber and pot experiment under two types of soil conditions were conducted to determine the selectivity of oxyfluorfen and chlormethoxynil in crops and weeds and for characterization of selective mode of action, the absorption study was also conducted with different absorption methods and application time using $^{14}C$-oxyfluorfen. Oxyfluorfen showed more growth inhibitory effects than chlormethoxynil. In the nutrient culture test, rice growth was greatly inhibited at 2-leaf stage than at 4-leaf stage, and the shoot parts were more inhibited than the root parts. By preemergence application of both herbicides, higher growth inhibition was observed in sandy loam soil than in clay loam soil. Absorption and translocation of $^{14}C$-oxyfluorfen were higher by foliar application than by root treatment, and selectivity of crops and weed species may be explained partly by the amount of absorption.

The embryos(6-8mm) isolated from seeds of Diospyros kaki were cultured on Murashlge-Skoog(MS), Woody Plant Medium(WPM), Campbell Durzen(CD), Lictvay's Medium(LM), Kao-Michaluk(KM), Nitsch, White, Heller, Wolter-Skoog(WS) media. The results showed that MS and WPM media were most suitable to the development of embryos into plantlets with length of $5.4{\pm}1.2 cm$ and 5-6 leaves. However, when LM and KM media were used, the addition of 1 to $2{\mu} moles/\ell GA_3$ was required for the germination of the embryos. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities, one of the changing factors in leaves according to physiological status displayed to be exceptionally significant in the leaves of plantlets germinated from seeds in potting sand soil contrary to those of cultured embryos specially around germination period.

Postharvest diseases developed on harvested products result in a great economic loss. The objective of this research was to develop a chemical treatment to control major postharvest pathogens including Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum in the cold storage room. Acetic acid ($2.4mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, $4.8mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) inhibits spore germination and mycelial growth of B. cinerea and P. expansum on PDA at room temperature ($25^{\circ}C$) and low temperature ($2^{\circ}C$). Fumigation of cold storage room with $SO_2$ ($5g{\cdot}m^{-3}$) gas or gaseous acetic acid ($4.8g{\cdot}m^{-3}$) prior to operation greatly reduced population of fungi in the cold storage room.
