This study was conducted to investigate the variation of cone, seed and germination characteristics among populations and among individuals within populations of Picea jezoensis(Siebold & Zuccarini) Carriere distributed in Korea. Cone collected from 25 trees in two natural populations(Mt. Jiri and Mt. Dokyu) and their thirteen cone and seed characteristics as well as three germination behaviors were analyzed. Statistical analysis showed significant differences among populations and among individuals within populations in 9 traits except for seed breadth, seed weight, index of seed wing and mean germination time. Generally, morphological variation of cone and seed wings from Mt. Jiri population has smaller and longer than those of Mt. Dokyu population. Percentage of sound seeds and Tetrazolium test from Mt. Jiri population showed 1.79 and 1.87 higher values than Mt. Dokyu population, respectively. The maximum germination percentage was obtained at the optimum temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ and in this case, mean germination time and germination rate showed 7.5 days and 2.9 ea./day, respectively. In seed germination behaviors, percentage(40.7%) and rate(0.90 ea./day) of germination in Mt. Jiri population were more higher and faster than those of Mt. Dokyu population(17.7%, 0.37 ea./day). According to correlation analysis, P. jezoensis populations with small restricted distribution may have been reduced because seed qualities were correlated with increased levels of inbreeding and disproportion flowering.

인삼뿌리썩음병균(Cylindrocarpon destructans)후막 포자의 형성은 CD(Czapek`s dox broth)와 SNY(Spezieller Nahrtoffarmer yeast extract broth)배지에서 진탕배양(2$0^{\circ}C$, 120 rpm)하면 양호하였다. 특히 CD배지에서 2$0^{\circ}C$로 30일간 진탕배양하면 5.99 log 후막포자/ml로 형성되었다. 후막포자의 발아율은 12.9~23.3%로 CD배지와 SNY배지에서 좋았으며 발아적온은 5~1$0^{\circ}C$였고, 최적 pH는 6이었다. 그러나 2$0^{\circ}C$이상에서는 전혀 발아하지 않았으며 pH 7.0이상에서는 발아율이 급속히 저하되었다. 인삼추출물 3%, GA 10 ppm, IAA 10 ppm, NOVOZYM\ulcorner234 20 ppm을 처리 할 경우 대조구에 비해 발아율이 증가하였다. 특히 NOVOZYM\ulcorner234 20 ppm 처리구는 발아율이 무처리에 비해 2배 증가하였다. CD배지(pH5)에 NOVOZYM\ulcorner234 20 ppm과 GA 10 ppm을 조합처리하고 5$^{\circ}C$로 정치배양 할 때 후막포자의 발아율은 49.4%로 가장 높았다.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the suppressive effects of the bio-sulfur used by eco-friendly farms on the outbreak of citrus scab. To evaluate the inhibiting effect of bio-sulfur on citrus scab germ tube growth, the citrus scab pathogen Elsinoe fawcettiiwas cultured in PDB and agar media, and germ tube growth was observed after bio-sulfur treatment. At both 40 and 88 h after inoculation, germ tube formation was inhibited by 500-, 1000-, and 2000-fold diluted bio-sulfur, and at dilutions above 4000-fold, germ tube formation was observed, although growth was still inhibited, when compared to untreated cultures. Meanwhile, the occurrence of citrus scab on spring-flush leaves in the field was 40.3% in the untreated control and 5.3, 10.3, 12.3, 15.3, and 24.0% when treated with imibenconazole, 2-4 and 6-6 lime-Bordeaux mixtures, which are also used by eco-friendly farms, 500-fold diluted bio-sulfur, lime sulfur, and 1000-fold diluted bio-sulfur, respectively. The occurrence of citrus scab on citrus fruit was 79.3% in the untreated control and 4.0, 33.8, 42.0, 43.3, 44.8, and 78.0% when treated with imibenconazole, 2-4 lime-Bordeaux mixture, 6-6 lime-Bordeaux mixture, 500-fold diluted bio-sulfur, lime sulfur, and 1000-fold diluted bio-sulfur, respectively. Because citrus scab can infect citrus leaves as early as May, as the spring flush begins, preventative control should be implemented by mid- to late-April, thereby increase disease control and reducing both labor and farming costs.

One of the steps in angiogenesis is the degradation of the underlying basement membrane via proteases. Endothelial cells release proteinases to degrade the extracellular matrix for their sprouting in vivo. In this study, we examined the effect of water extracts of Phellinus linteusis(Phellinus extracts) and combination of Phellinus extracts and fibroblast growth factor(FGF-2) on cultured porcine pulmonary artery endothelial cells(PPAECs). Phellinus extracts induced sprouting of PPAECs, which was inhibited by MMPs and plasmin inhibitors, and induced the secretion of matrix metalloproteinase-3(MMP-3) and plasmin. At high concentration of Phellinus extracts($200{\sim}400{\mu}g/mL$), the active MMP-2 secretion was induced. It is therefore, suggested that Phellinus extracts induces the sprouting of cultured endothelial cells by means of increased active MMP-2 and plasmin secretion. Also, combination with Phellinus extracts and FGF-2 produced an enhanced effect on sprouting and secretion of active MMP-2, and MMP-3 and plasmin from PPAECs.

To determine physical and physiological factors for Liriodendron tulipifera L. somatic embryo germination, temporary immersion bioreactor (TIB) system was investigated. It was designed to immerse liquid media with plantlets so that it was able to adjust the immersion time. Immersion of 120 minutes every 4 hours and 60 minutes every 4 hours was found to be effective in germination (91.64%, 85.67%, respectively). However, hyperhydricity of the plantlets was higher in short immersion time (15 minutes every 6 hours) and long immersion time (120 minutes every 4 hours) (51.61%, 34.28%, respectively). Immersion of 60 minutes every 4 hours showed the lowest hyperhydric plantlets, and also it showed the lowest activities of abscisic acid (ABA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase. The overall results implied that immersion time of media affected germination and growth of somatic embryo, and it was able to make use of germination and growth of L. tulipifera somatic embryos.

This study was investigated the changes of chemical components in winter cereal crops before and after germination for development of functional foods. The contents of general composition (crude protein, lipid, and ash), phytic acid, free sugar, mineral, and fatty acid were analyzed. Crude ash content was slightly decreased after germination but protein contents was slightly increased in oats after germination. Phytic acid content showed the highest increase from 1.09 to 1.56 mg/g in oats after germination. Glucose contents of rye and wheat increased 6 and 3.5 folds after germination, respectively. Also, maltose contents of oat and wheat increased 7.4 and 5.5 folds, respectively. Major fatty acids were palmitic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid. After germination, palmitic acid and linoleic acid decreased while oleic acid increased in oats and barley. Further studies are needed to investigate the functional components and biological properties of winter cereal crops after germination.

To understand the molecular mechanism of hardening process in somatic embryo development and artificial seed germination in celery (Apium graveolens L.), the changes of protein synthesis by ABA or cold teatment at early globular stage were examined. Protein content and nitrate reductase activity in ABA- or cold-treated somatic embryo and seedlings were higher than that in unheated ones. The protein content and nitrate reductase activity were more prominent in somatic embryos than in seedlings. From two-dimensional electrophoresis, several protein spots specific to ABA or cold treatment were identified: 30 KD, 32 KD, 171 KD and 205 KD at heart-shaped stage; and 29 KD, 33 KD, 37 KD, 38 KD, 41 KD, 55 KD, 66 KD, and 110 KD at cotyledonary stage were the most specifically synthesized However the synthesis of certain polypeptides were repressed at heart-shaped or cotyledonary stage: 42 KD, 44 KD, 59 KD, 64 KD, 101 KD, 104 KD, and 190 KD at heart-shaped stage; and 29 KD and 116 KD at cotyledonary stage. The protein pattern changes by ABA or cold treatment occurred simultaneously and mainly in acid-soluble proteins during somatic embryo development and artificial seed germination. Therefore it is suggested that the metabolic changes for adaptation to environmental change occur during somatic embryo development and the germination and growth of seedling from embryo.

These experiments were conducted to determine the change of sugar content during germination in corn, which were analyzed by using HPLC. Germination percentage and growth rate of Golden cross bantam 70 were higher than those of Suweon 19. The emergences of radicle and plumule of Golden cross bantam 70 were faster compared to those of Suweon 19. Three major components, sucrose, glucose and fructose, were detected during germination. Content of sucrose in two tested hybrids decreased rapidly as time passes. In embryo of Suweon 19, the content of sucrose was 38.92% on 12 hours after incubation but decreased to 4.52% on 72 hours. In that of Golden cross bantam 70, it decreased rapidly more than Suweon 19 from 53.03% on 12 hours to 8.18% on 72 hours. On the other hand, the contents of glucose and fructose increased.

The experiments were conducted to investigate the characteristics of the seed germination and the bulb dormancy in Korean-native Allium victorialis L. by the physicochemical treatments. The characteristics of two Allium victorialis seeds was similar in shape, color and threshing but different in other characters. Weight of 1,000 grains in Ullrung-native was 14.8g corresponding to 2.1 times as compared with Odae-native. Seeding immediatly after seed collection of Ullrung-native only germinated and chemicals didn't affect in germination improvement. The germination rate, average days to germination and coefficient of germination of Ullrung-native was 86%, 42 days and 2.05 at the dark condition of control, respectively. The germination rate, average days to germination and coefficient of germination of Odae-native was 70%, 47 days and 1.5 at the dark condition of control and 82%, 47 days, 1.75 at the light condition after 5$^{\circ}C$ prechilling for 30 days, respectively. The bedding days to reduce the physiological dormancy in the bulb of Odae-native assumed to be appropriate up to 45 days after the first prechilling.
