A series of experiments were carried out to know the effect of growth retardants on the growth of rice seedlings and ethylene evolution from the rice seedlings. The results suggested that the reduction rate in order of plant height was S-327 > BAS-106 > NTN-821 > PP-333 > CGR-811. The heigher concentration levels of growth retardants applied. the more effective reductions of plant height were found. Ethylene evolution from the rice seedlings was significantly negative correlated with plant hight of of seedlings in all treatments.

This study was done to find out the effect of seven widely used herbicides on mycelial growth, productivity and germ inability of sclerotium of Corticiurm sasakii growing on artificial media. The results obtained are as follows: (1) 2,4-D amine inhibited at 5 to 1000ppm mycelial growth and at 2.5 to 1000ppm sclerotia production. At normal field rate, though mycelial growth and sclerotia production were inhibited highly. sclerotial germinability were inhibited slightly. (2) MCP inhibited at 10 to 1000ppm mycelial growth and at 500 to 1000ppm sclerotia production. At normal field rate, though mycelial growth and sclerotia production were inhibited highly, sclerotial germinability were inhibited slightly. (3) DCPA and PCP inhibited highly or perfectly at 2.5 to 1000ppm mycelial growth and sclerotia production. Also sclerotial germinability was inhibited highly at normal field rate. (4) MO inhibited at 125 to 1000ppm mycelial growth and at 10 to 1000ppm sclerotia production. At normal field rate, though mycelial growth was not inhibited, sclerotial germinabitity was inhibited moderately. (5) CP-53619 inhibited at 2.5 to 1000ppm mycelial growth and at 10 to 1000ppm sclerotia production. At normal field rate, though mycelial growth and sclerotia production were inhibited moderately, sclerotial germinability was inhibited little. (6) NPE inhibited at 5 to 1000ppm mycelial growth and at 10 to 1000ppm sclerotia production. At normal field rate, mycelial growth, productivity and germinability of sclerotium were inhibited slightly.

This study was conducted to evaluate the inhibition efficacy of high CO$_2$ atmosphere (35, 60, and 100% ${\times}$ 24, 48, and 72 h) on growth of Botrytis cinerea in vitro in order to offer sterilizing method of horticultural crops including peach fruits. Botrytis cinerea was isolated from a naturally infected peach fruits. Growth of the fungus at 25$^{\circ}C$ declined with increased CO$_2$ concentration and treatment duration. Especially, 100% CO$_2$ provided completely inhibition effect of growth of the fungus for 72 h. After removal of high CO$_2$ condition, however, the fungus showed normal growth speed. The growth of fungus at low temperature was completely inhibited temporarily by short-term 100% CO$_2$ treatment, but resumed right after transferring to normal atmosphere at 25$^{\circ}C$.

To investigate phytotoxic substances in Artemisia argyi, the donor plant, and their biological activities, seed germination and seedling growth of receptor plants such as Arundinella hirta, Echinochloa crus-galli, Rumex crispus and Lactuca sativa were examined at different concentrations of aqueous extracts of the donor plant. Germination of four receptor species was inhibited by the extracts, while seedling growth was decreased to a lesser degree than in the germintion test. Germination, seedling growth and dry weight growth of Achyranthes japonica grown in pot were proportionally inhibited by the extracts. Volatile substances emitted from A, argi plant caused slight inhibition in the germination and seedling growth of the receptor species. Essential oil of the plant extracted by Karlsruker's apparatus inhibited growth of microorganisms and callus growth of Pinellia ternata and Oryza sativa. The GC /MS method was employed for analysis and identification of allelochemicals from A. argyi leaves. Sixty-one chemical substances such as a-pinene, camphene, 1. 8-cineol, etc. were identified from essential oil of A. argyi. The results of this experiment on seed germination, seedling growth, microorganism culture and tissue culture indicated that naturally occurring chemical substances from A. argyi would be responsible for the growth inhibition of plants studied.

Inhibition effects on spore germination and mycelia growth for gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) were investigated in vitro using environment-friendly agricultural materials as well as environment-friendly pesticides. The inhibition effect on mycelia growth of gray mold is the highest when the gray mold mycelia were treated with a pesticide (commercial name: Koreayeok, Jihabudea KM, Sootingtan, Sootingstar) that contains a mixture of Bacillus subtilis, resulting in 100% inhibition of the mycelia growth. Meanwhile, the range of less than 20% inhibition effects on the growth of gray mold mycelia was observed with other commercial agricultural materials. The significant inhibition effects on spore germination of gray mold fungus were shown in vitro with two water dispersible pesticides containing sulfur [BTB (97.7%) and SulfurStar (92.3%)], respectively. These in vitro results of inhibiting of the spore germination and mycelia growth together cannot found. It remains to be determined whether the selected environment-friendly agricultural materials in effective control of gray mold in vitro can be used to control gray mold in field.

This research was conducted to get the basic information for improving production amount as well as fruit quality by using Prohaxadion-Calcium (Pro-Ca) used as 'Sato Nishiki', cherry cultivar, which is most frequently cultivated in Korea. In fruiting trees, we used Pro-ca and concentration of treatment selected 150, 200 and $250\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. When treating Pro-Ca $200\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, we could get the highest effect on inhibition of shoot growth. All treatments of Pro-Ca were increased chlorophyll a and b, respectively compared with control. Although treatments of Pro-Ca treatment showed the decreased effect on leaf area and there was no difference in fruit quality among treatments. Also, Pro-Ca $250\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, sprayed 3 times, and pclobutrazol ($PP_{333}$) 500 and $1,000\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, applicated soil, were treated to 1 year old plnted pot. Pro-Ca and $PP_{333}$ showed inhibition of shoot growth, especially, Pro-Ca showed the more effect than $pp_{333}$ on growth inhibition. Soil applications of $pp_{333}$ showed less effect to enlargement of tree trunk compared to Pro-Ca and control. Pro-Ca and $pp_{333}$ were not difference in number of inter-nodes when comparing to control, but they on decreased leaf area and increased chlorophyll.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-proliferative effect of methanolic extracts from Citrus junos (yuja) seeds and yuja seed oils against HT-29 human colon cancer cells and to identify the key compounds responsible for this effect. Extracts from yuja seeds, yuja seed oil prepared using hexane, and cold-pressed yuja seed oil were prepared using 60% methanol (ES, EHO, and ECO, respectively). The key compounds in the extracts were determined using HPLC-MS. Among the extracts, EHO and ECO inhibited proliferation of HT-29 cells. EHO and ECO were fractionated using preparative LC and the bioactive compounds were determined. Five of the fractions showed a significant anti-proliferative effect and the main compounds in the fractions were isopimpinellin, bergapten, and ichangensin. These compounds showed anti-proliferative effects on HT-29 cells when treated individually, and ichangensin showed the highest anti-proliferative activity. These results suggest that these compounds may be responsible for the anti-cancer effect of EHO and ECO.

For determining the effect of extracts exudated from ten industrial plant resources on germination and early growth of shoot and root of radish the allelopathic compounds screened. Germination rate and seedling growth of radish differed depending on plant species and extract concentration. Lower levels of 1% extracts exudated from industrial plant resources promoted the rate of germination of radish while higher levels of 10% extract inhibited the rate of germination. Germination rate, shoot growth and root growth of radish in higher concentration of extract also differed depending on the plant species exudated and extract concentraton of industrial plant resources. Higher concentration of extracts from Xanthium strutnarium L. Angellica gigas Nakai, and Solanum nigrum L. were completely inhibited the germination while those from Cichorium intybus L., and Polygonatum officinale Allioni were not inhibited. Extracts exudated from Xanthium strutnarium L, Angellica gigas Nakai, and Solanum nigrum L. showed the strong inhibition of shoot and root growth of radish while those from Cichorium intybus L., and Polygonatum officinale Allioni did not show the bioactivity in shoot and root growth of radish..

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of stem extracts from perilla and buckwheat on the germination and seedling growth of barnyard grass and chinese cabbage. The major results obtained are as follows. The stem extracts showed inhibiting effects on seed germination. The degree of inhibition was much higher with the extracts of perilla than those of buckwheat and more sensitive to chinese cabbage than barnyard grass. The trends of inhibition effects on seedling growth were the same as in the seed germination with lower degree. The roots were more sensitive to the extracts than the tops with higher degree with buckwheat extracts.

The objective of this study was to isolate algae growth inhibiting microorganism to biologically control Microcystis aeruginosa, which is a harmful cyanobacterium. Various bacterial strains were isolated in this study, and four bacterial strains of M1~M4 exhibited remarkable growth inhibiting activity against M. aeruginosa. Based on the 16S rRNA analysis, the isolated M1~M4 strains were identified, and isolated four strains were rod-type and gram-negative. In particular, as well as respective single strain, co-culture of the isolated M1~M4 strains showed obvious algicidal activity against M. aeruginosa. When mixed four strains were inoculated, about 50% of the chlorophyll a was reduced after two days, about 70% after four days, and about 80% after seven days. From these results mentioned above, the four bacterial strains may contribute to the control of harmful M. aeruginosa.
