This study was conducted to investigate the effect of treatment with squeous chlorine dioxide and hot water on the germination of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seeds, and reduction of microbial load on the seeds. Increases in treatment and the concentration of aqueous chlorine dioxide in water resulted in increasing reductions in the counts of total aerobic microbes. Seeds treated with aqueous chlorine dioxide (100 ppm/20min, 200ppm/20min) showed about a 10-fold decrease in microbial loads. Germination of seeds was not adversely affected by any treatment tested, although the germination rate of seeds in the group treated at $55^{\circ}C$ for 20 min was reduced by 10% compared to that of control. Combined treatment with hot water and aqueous chlorine dioxide yielded better out comes in both microbial reduction and seed germination rate than did single treatments. A combined treatment with 100 ppm aqueous chlorine dioxide and hot water($45^{\circ}C$ or $50^{\circ}C$) resulted in about a 100-fold decrease in microbial load whereas germination rate showed only a slight increase to $97.0{\sim}97.7%$. Total aerobic microbial counts in radish seeds were decreased by aqueous chlorine dioxide and hot water treatment in the order. aqueous $CIO_2$+ hot water > aqueous $CIO_2$ > chlorinated water > hot water > control.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the germination rate according to temperature, pelleting materials, pelleted size, seed storage periods under light and dark conditions in Rehmannia glutinosa. The highest germination rate was obtained from $25^{\circ}C$ in both light and dark condition. Two-year old seeds showed higher germination rate compared to one-year old seed. Talc material showed the highest germination rate among the pelleting materials by 82.5%. Among the different pelleting sizes, the highest germination rate was shown in 2.0 mm, and especially Talc pelleting showed 100% germination rate on 17days after seeding. In case of combination of pelleting materials, both of talc + vermiculite, zeolite + vermiculite showed lower germination rate than the control and 0.7 mm pelleted seed showed the highest germination rate.

Simulated acid rain(SAR) treatment caused a lethal effect on the newly germinated seedlings of Capsicum annum cv. Komyung even though the germination rate of the seeds was stimulated by the treatment of SAR. Young germinated seedlings were much more sensitive to SAR than the already-grown seedlings. The typical symptom caused by SAR was white spot or lesion on the leaf and appeared readily and severely at the low pH of SAR. Generally, Phytophthora rot was severer in SAR treatments than in control. However, the disease was less severe in lower pH of the SAR treatment than in higher pH. Pathogen inoculation following the SAR treatment increased the disease. The severest Phytophthora rot was observed in the SAR treatment of pH 4.0 or 4.5 regardless of the inoculation time.

1. New mulberry branches after spring prunning seemed not to have the growth period acording to the Fig. 1. The branches after summer prunning, however, showed the tendency of relatively fast growth for the first month and of hardy growth for the latter. 2. Due to the self-regulation in the course of growth, available branches in spring have been decided in number from the end of June to the beginning of July and in fall in early August. 3. The wattles decreased in number by means of picking up buds and so compared with the control the considerable effects were shown in the treatments. 4. Most buds on mulberry branches after the prunning were sprouted at the begining of whole budding period. The branches of the first sprouted buds were available and the latter became of the wattles. 5. After spring or summer prunning the shoots grew in vigorous if some of then were taken out. Therefore the length of branches increased by 20∼60％. It was the best way that the branches were taken out one third when the branches grew 30∼60cm in height.

Vie investigated the effect of indole acetic acid (IAA) on diamine oxidase (DAO; EC 1.4.3.6) in the seedling of soybean (Glycine max L. forma Paldalkong). DAO activity was not detected in the resting soybean seeds. During germination it appeared in the elongating zone on day 3, increased up to day 4 and decreased thereafter. Endogenous IAA content has been shown the same pattern as DAO activity. However, cadaverine content was reduced on day 4. To investigate the effect of IAA on DAO activity, the segments of hypocotyl on day 3 were soaked in various concentration of IAA. The activity increased at low concentrations ($10^{-7}-10^{-6}M$) of 1M as compared to that of control but not at high concentrations ($10^{-5}-10^{-4}M$) of IAA. Differing from DAO activity, cadaverine content increased as concentrations of IAA increased. On the other hand, ethylene was induced by IAA at high concentrations. To study the effect of ethylene on DAO activity, we cotreated IAA and 2,S-Norbonadiene (NDE). In this case, DAO activity was not affected.fected.

This study assessed the vitality of Carpinus laxiflora seeds stored for more than 15 years in order to discover optimal pre-treatment conditions for removingthe causes of seed dormancy and improving revitalization rate. Seeds were collected in October 2000 and stored at -18℃ for 16 years. Experiments to assess the revitalization ability of the seeds were performed under the following conditions: a controlled environment; in warm stratification (30 days at 23℃); in cold stratification (30 days at 4℃ andfor 30, 45, 60, and 120 days); gibberellin (GA₃) treatment (24 hours per day in GA₃ solutions of 100, 500, 1000, 2000, and 3000 mg·L^-1); and both cold stratification and GA₃ treatment (30 days at 4℃, then in a GA₃ solution of 100, 500, and 1000 mg·L^-1 for 2 hours). The average germination percentage(GP) of untreated seeds was 2%, and the average GP of warm-stratification seeds was 10%. Cold-stratification seeds had the highest GP at 81% for the 45-day process, while the 120-day cold-stratification seeds had the lowest GP at 67.3%. The average GP of seeds treated with GA₃ ranged from 77% (100 mg·L^-1) to 99% (1000 mg·L^-1), indicatingsignificant differences between the treatment concentrations. The treatment effect of GA₃ was highest at 500 mg·L^-1 and 1000 mg·L^-1, and lowest at 100 mg·L^-1. The average GP of seeds treated with GA₃ following cold stratification was 68%, which was lower than the cold stratification-only (73.2%) and GA₃-only (88.4%) treatments. A comprehensive comparison of the seed germination characteristics according to the four treatments determined that a GA₃ 500 mg·L^-1 pre-treatment, with the highest average GP, was ideally suited to the revitalization of long-term stored C. laxiflora seeds. Consequently, C. laxiflora stored at -18℃ for 16 years indicated strong vitality and could be regenerated by proper pre-treatment.

This study was carried out to examine the base temperature to flowering and the average days to flowering by accumulated hours of low temperature ($5.0^{\circ}C$) or changing temperature after bud breaking. Over-all, the prediction of flowering time in the commercial apple cultivars ('Fuji' and 'Tsugaru') and apple cultivars ('Chukwang', 'Gamhong', 'Hongan', 'Honggeum', 'Hongro', 'Hongso', 'Hwahong', 'Summer dream', 'Sunhong') bred in Korea at the Gunwi region for 4 years (from 2009 to 2012) was investigated. Also, this study estimated the flowering time when the air temperature of Gunwi region rises at $5.0^{\circ}C$ was investigated using the same data. The range of accumulated hours of low temperature (chilling requirement) was from 0 hour to 1,671 hours, and the range of high temperature (heat requirements) to flowering after low temperature treatment was from $5.0^{\circ}C$ to $29.0^{\circ}C$. The treatments of changing temperature after bud breaking were classified as constant temperature treatment (control) and $5.0{\sim}10.0^{\circ}C$ elevation or descent treatments. The results show that the average days to flowering was longer with shorter accumulated hours of low temperature, and the average days from bud breaking to flowering of 0 hour treatment was longer about 2~4 weeks than that of 1,335~1,503 hours treatments. In comparing to apple cultivars, the all cultivars were not flowered under $10.0^{\circ}C$ after bud breaking, and the cultivars with low chilling requirements needed low heat requirements for flowering. The average days to flowering of treatments that the air temperature after bud breaking was controlled about $15.0^{\circ}C$ was shorter about 1~3 weeks than that of treatments was controlled about $10.0^{\circ}C$. In the treatment of changing temperature after bud breaking, the average days from bud breaking to flowering of temperature elevation treatment was shorter than that of constant temperature treatment. By use of these results, the base temperature to flowering of main apple cultivars in Korea was seemed to $10.0^{\circ}C$, and if the air temperature of Gunwi region rises about $5.0^{\circ}C$ than that of current, the flowering time was estimated to be delayed by 1 week.

We evaluated the impact of temperature and salinity on the germination of true mangrove Sonneratia caseolaris (L.) Engl. seeds to determine the optimal conditions for their growth. Seeds were collected from Nam Dinh Province, Vietnam. The seeds underwent temperature treatments (19℃, 24℃, 30℃, and 38℃) and salinity treatments (0‰, 10‰, 20‰, 25‰, 30‰, 35‰, and 40‰). The analysis of germination characteristics and radicle growth indicated that, under the 30℃ condition, the germination rate was 88%, and the radicle growth was 25.24 mm, showing significantly higher germination rates GR), mean germination time (MGT), and germination performance index (GPI) than under other temperature conditions (P<0.05). In the 10‰ salinity treatment group, both the germination rate (88%) and radicle growth (39 mm) were significantly higher (P<0.05). High temperatures and salinity were not suitable for seed germination, and they significantly affected seed germination and early growth.
