This study was conducted to develop a simple selection method for herbicide-resistance weeds. Two methods, designated "seedling method" and "stem node method" were employed for screening of barnyardgrass against propanil and butachlor. In the seedling method, shoot and root growth of barnyardgrass were significantly inhibited at quarter of the recommended herbicide rate, while in the stem node method, the similar inhibition was obtained at half of the recommended rate. Thus, it was concluded that the seedling method is more simple and quick method to evaluate response of barnyardgrass to propanil and butachlor compared to stem node method.

To search germination inhibitors in higher plants, first of all, some experiments containing selection of test weed seeds and effects of solvents and surfactants for bioassay establishment were conducted. Then MeOH-extracts of 45 plants were assayed for germination inhibition activities against Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv, Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop., Cyperus iria L., Portulaca oleracea L. and Oenothera lamarckiana Ser. seeds. Among them extracts from Rhathiolepis ovata Briat and Picea abies (L.) Karst showed strong inhibitory effect (60-90% inhibition) on the germination of tested weed seeds at 5000 ppm. On the other hand, the extract from Youngia sonchifolia Max stimulated the germination and growth of tested weeds.

A cross-over design is frequently used in clinical trials (especially in bioequivalence tests with a parametric method) for the comparison of two treatments. Missing values frequently take place in cross-over designs in the second period. Usually, subjects that have missing values are removed and analyzed. However, it can be unsuitable in clinical trials with a small sample size. In this paper, we compare single imputation methods in a $2{\times}2$ cross-over design when missing values exist in the second period. Additionally, parametric and nonparametric methods are compared after applying single imputation methods. A Monte-Carlo simulation study compares type I error and the power of methods.

Some experiments were conducted to utilize the raphanus test as a bioassay method for plant growth regulaters and hormonal herbicides. Among seven radish cultivars, the response of Jangbaegminong was the most sensitive and quantitative to ${\alpha}$-NAA and its coefficient of variation value was the lowest. The optimum application time of test compounds was estimated seven to nine days after seeding. After ${\alpha}$-NAA treatment the curvature angle of radish cotyledonary petiols was sharply increased to the maximum value at 24 hours after and was changed by light and temperature conditions. The curvature response was observed by application of ${\alpha}$-NAA, phenoxy and indole compounds but often plant growth regulators, $GA_3$ benzyladenine, ABA and homobrassinolide was not detected by this method. So this bioassay was useful to evaluate the activity of a compound as an auxin or a hormonal herbicide.

A toxicity method using bioluminescence producing bacteria, Escherichia coli DH5 RB1436, was developed and applied on solid environmental samples. In the assay, 1 g soil sample was mixed with 4 ml RB1436 strain. Sets amended with p-buffer were employed for control in soil test, showing approximately 108% of sets amended with combusted soils. Measurable differences were observed between relatively more polluted groups (HP) and less polluted groups (LP) of soil samples, showing average toxicity 43 and 26%, respectively, in direct soil toxicity test. $EC_{50}$'s for all soil groups appeared in the range of $1.8{\sim}4.6\;g$, but those of sediments from dam reservoir and refuses were below 0.22 g. This developed bioassay should prove useful as a screening test for toxicity in various types of environmental solid samples.

Experiments were conducted to study effects of different bioassay methods on toxicity to the German cockroach (Blattella germanica L.) ith six insecticides. For male adults, by dry film method, the {TEX}$LC_{50}${/TEX} value of chlorpyrifos. fenvalerate, propoxur, permethin, DDVP, and hydramethylnon was 1.79, 1.87, 3.04, 4.37, 32.72, and 270.81 ppm, respectively and the same tendency was shown in the female. For male adults, by topical micro-application method, the {TEX}$LD_{50}${/TEX} value of DDVP and fenvalerate, chlorpyrifls, permethrin, propoxur, hydramethylnon was 2.63, 3.79, 4.51, 6.73, 44.99 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g, respectively and the same tendency was shown in the female. From the diet toxicity method against male adults, the CT value (Concentration%$\times${TEX}$LT_{50}${/TEX}) showed that chlorpyrifos was rapid effective and hydramethylnon was residual effective.

To investigate the presence of brassinosteroids in rice bran and pㅐlished rice, they were extracted with MeOH. The extracts were purified through sequential procedure of solvent fractionation, silica gel adsorption chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and charcoal adsorption chromatography. The activity of brassinosteroids was monitored by the rice inclination test and its presence was confirmed in each purification step. The purified active components were further separated by TLC and HPLC. Brassinosteroids in active fractions of rice bran were identified as castasterone and teasterone by HPLC. We acknowledge that our work is probably the first report of brassinosteroids in mature seeds of rice The more amount of brassinosteroids was confirmed in rice bran than polished rice. The contents of castasterone and teasterone which were identified in rice bran were 0.15 ng/g and 0.37 ng/g, respectively.

In order to examine the presence of brassinosteroid substance in sea mustard(Undaria pinnatifida), leaves of sea mustard were extracted with MeOH. The extract was purified by slovent fractionation, counter current distribution, silica gel adsorption chromatography, charcoal adsorption chromatography, Bondesil chromatography, and reverse phase HPLC, successively. The activity was monitored by the rice inclination test and its prescence could be confirmed in each purification step. Although sea mustard contained a less amount of the active substance than the vegetative tissue of higher plants, brassinosteroid was clearly present endogenously in sea mustard. We acknowledge that our work is probably the first publication reporting the presence of brassinosteroid in marine algae plants.

본 연구에서는 기존 매립이나 지반보강재로 사용되던 소각재 용융슬래그를 고부가가치 수처리 여재로 활용하기 위하여 형광성 박테리아를 통한 Microtox 생물검정법으로 독성을 평가하였다. 소각재 용융슬래그의 독성평가 대조군으로는 기존의 수처리 여재인 입상활성탄(석탄계/야자계/목탄계), PP PE펠렛(Poly-Propylene Poly-Ethylene pallet), 표준여과사를 비교하였으며, 시료의 용출시험은 US EPA에서 제안한 TCLP 방법을 사용하였다. Microtox Acute Toxicity 평가 결과, 독성순위는 석탄계 입상 활성탄, 소각재 용융슬래그, 목탄계 입상활성탄, 야자계 입상활성탄, 표준여과사, PP PE 순으로 나타났으며, 실험에 사용된 모든 수처리 여재들은 급성독성을 고려하지 않는 무독성으로 나타났다. 따라서 소각재 용융슬래그가 수처리를 목적으로 수체에 편입시켜도 기존의 수처리 여재들과 비교할 때 수환경에 미치는 영향은 미미할 것으로 판단된다.
