Effects of media and growth regulators on the growth and saponin accumulation of ginseng root were investigated to develop the ginseng root culture system. When Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer roots were induced and cultured in various liquid media, the maximum root growth and saponin production were obtained in SH medium and an initial doubleing time of ginseng root was approximately 10 days. The patterns and contents of ginsenosides of cultured ginseng root in various media were different from each other. SH and White media resulted in higher total ginsenosides contents than the other media. Among different combinations and concentrations of growth regulators, SH medium containing 4.0mg/ L NAA gave best growth of ginseng roots, while saponin content was highest in SH medium containing 0.5mg/L BAP. These results suggested that the rapid production of ginseng saponin is possible by root culture of Panax ginseng.

To investigate the presence of the brassinosteroid substances in immature Oryza sativa L. cv Tongjinbyeo seeds, the methanol extract was purified by the sequential use of solvent fractionation, silica gel adsorption chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 chromatography and charcoal adsorption chromatography. The activity of brassinosteroid was monitored by the rice inclination test and its presence could be confirmed in each purification step. The purified active components were separated by silica gel adsorption chromatography and Sephadex LH-20 chromatography. Brassinosteroid substances in separated active fractions were identified as castasterone, teasterone and 6-deoxocastasterone by HPLC. Our work is probably the first report of endogenous brassinosteroids in Oryza sativa seeds. The content of brassinosteroid in Oryza sativa seeds as converted into brassinolide was $0.5{\sim}1.5\;ng/g$ fresh weight.

Soybean sprouts treated with growth regulators (IAA and BA) had considerably shorter roots than control. The weight and diameter of treated sprouts were increased by $10{\sim}20%$ and 40%, respectively, compared with control. Crude protein and fat contents of the treated soybean sprouts were higher than those of the control by $5{\sim}10%$ and 10%, respectively. Vitamin C contents of the treated soybean sprout were 38mg%, which corresponds to 70% more vitamin C. Soybean sprouts contained 16 amino acids and the treated sprouts contained more arginine, histidine, lysine and methionine than the control, but significantly less proline. Fatty acid compositions of the treated sprouts and the control were similar, and the ratio unsaturated/saturated fatty acids was about 4.4 in the treated and control sprouts.

The effects of aging time (1, 8 and 15 days) and endpoints cooking temperature (70, 75 and $80^{\circ}C$) on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of pork neck were evaluated. Pork neck was obtained from the carcass (live weight, 105~110 kg ; grade B) chilled for 24 hours after slaughter. As a aging period became longer, the pH, L value and drip loss became higher while its a value and shear force value (SFV) of raw meat became lower. As a aging period became longer, the cooking loss, hardness, chewiness, SFV became lower, and its tenderness, juiciness and taste became better. However, no difference was observed in the aroma, and the one aged for 8 days in the cooked meat showed the best palatability. Increasing endpoint cooking temperature from 70 to $80^{\circ}C$ increased hardness, SFV and taste, and decreased chewiness, sensory tenderness and juiceness (p<0.05). However, it had no effect on the cohesiveness. Also, the one for which the endpoint cooking temperature became $75^{\circ}C$ in the cooked meat showed the best springiness, aroma and palatability.

A variety of abiotic stresses limit plant growth and crop productivity. Among the abiotic stress, salinity is one of the major harmful stresses to plants. Plant growth-promoting bacterium was isolated from reclaimed land soil of Kyehwa-do and identified as Pseudomonas. Pseudomonas sp. strain G19 produced $7.5{\mu}g/ml$ of indole acetic acid and solubilized 25% of insoluble phosphate after 36 h cultivation. Also, G19 was able to produce a protein that was structurally homologous to 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase of Pseudomonas fluorescens KACC10070 playing a role in reduction of ethylene in plant. The strain G19 increased the biomass of Chinese cabbage seedlings grown in the presence of 150 mM NaCl. The results indicated that the strain G19 promoted the growth of Chinese cabbage seedling under salinity stress through microbe-plant interactions.

This experiment was conducted to find out the effects of the six different feeding methods on the development of body weight, testis, comb and pituitary gland, and the sexual maturity of White Plymouth Rock cockerels. From hatching to 22 weeks of age, the weights of whole body, testis, comb and pituitary gland, and the histological changes of testis and the semen characteristics were checked every other week. The results obtained in this expeniment were as follows: 1. The growth rates of the self-feeding groups were faster than those of the limited feeding groups (70 percent of the self-feeding) by about 2 weeks. The weights of testis and comb showed the most marked increase at 20 weeks of age in the self-feeding groups and at 22 weeks of age in the limited feeding groups, respectively. 2. The weights of pituitary gland from hatching to 22 weeks of age at all observation weeks were not recognized significantly among the compared groups except 4, 14 and 16 weeks of age. 3. Correlations between week of age, body weight, testis, comb and pituitary gland, in the course of 22 weeks, were highly significant. 4. The diameters of lumina and tubules in the seminiferous tubules increased very slowly until 10 weeks of age. They showed the most marked increase at 12 weeks of age in the self-feeding groups and at 14 weeks of age in the limited feeding groups, and then continueously increased until 22 weeks of age. 5. Primary spermatocytes appeared at first at 8 weeks in the all treatment groups. Secondary spermatocytes appeared at first at 10 weeks in the self-feeding groups and at 12 weeks in the limited feeding groups. At 14 weeks of age spermatids and spermatozoa were found at first in the self-feeding groups but spermatids were found in the limited feeding groups. 6. Age of the first ejaculation was between 14 and 16 weeks of age in the all treatment groups. The average semen volume and sperm concentration ranged from $0.1{\sim}0.2m{\ell}/ejaculate$ and $5.6{\sim}9.8{\times}10^8sperm/m{\ell}$ at the age of the first ejaculation but $0.30{\sim}0.35m{\ell}/ejaculate$ and $22.4{\sim}42.7{\times}10^8sperm/m{\ell}$ at the 20 weeks of age in the all treatment groups.

Seventy-five commercial male day-old broiler chicks were used to investigate the effects of Oxytetracycline(OTC) and Lonicera japonica Thunberg(LJT) to be active in anti-bacteria and anti-virus on the growth rate, carcass rate and various intestinal organs sizes in broiler at 3 wk of age. Five experimental diets were formulated to have similar protein and energy levels, with OTC 0.04％ as low-level antibiotics and OTC 0.34％ as high-level antibiotics and 0.5％, 1.0％, 3.0％ level of LJT. Birds were housed randomly in 15 battery cages. Birds were 3 replicates per treatment and 5 chicks per replicate. In the body gain, 0.5％ level of LJT addition grew significantly higher than the other birds. The feed intake and feed efficiency were not significantly between other birds. The addition levels in OTC and LJT did not any consistent effect on the carcass rate. However, the chest meat percentage vs carcass volume in LJT 0.5％ treatment and the leg meat percentage vs carcass volume in DTC 0.04％ addition level were significantly higher than those of birds fed other diets. The liver weight rate was significantly higher in OTC 0.04％ level. However, the 0％ and LJT levels did not exert any consistent effect on the weights of gizzard, heart, bursa of fabricius, head and spleen of broilers. The abdominal and gizzard surrounding fat content rate was higher in bird LJT 1.0％ level than birds fed other levels.

The male broiler chichens (Hibreed Ross P. S 120 birds) were experimented for 6 weeks in cage. while experimental diets were feded to addition 0, 0, 0. 2, 0. 5 and 1.0% levels with Root Powder of Bupleurum Falcatum Linne (RPBFL). The results were as following; The tast of RPBFL added diets was favorite as the feed intake of RPBFL diets were increased than control diet. Body weight gain (1. 845g) in 1. 0% RPBFL diet was higher enhenced by 226g/per bird than control (1. 619g). was effected above 14%. Feed re­quierment was the lowest by 2. 02 in control, and was significantly enhenced to 1. 81 in 1. 0% RPBFL diet (P<0. 01). The amounts of carcass ratio were significantly defferent effected from the broilers feding diet added with 1. 0% RPBFL (P<0. 01). Greater amounts of chest meat was produced by 253g from the broilers fed diet added 1. 0% RPBFL, was enhenced 42g than the control broilers. The chest meat vs live body weight ratio was increaced in 1. 0% added diet. According to the tendency be increased' of the RPBFL levels, the drumst­ick weight was enhenced with 1. 0% RPBFL diet. The ratio of the drumstick vs live body weight was im­proved in 1. 0% RPBFL diet. The weights of liver. spleen, heart and gizzard were heavied according to live body weight, then was improved in 1. 0% RPBFL diet. Fat accumulation (abdominal and gizzard sur­rounding) was greater abserved by 50. 12g from the broiler fed ration with 1. 0% RPBFL. Content of total serum protein was high concetration in control, then was decrased by RPBFL level. Total serum cholesterol and triglyceride contents were increased in proportion to fat accumulation ratio.

Experiments were carried out to understand how much do the environmental factors affect growth and tuber formation of arrowhead, Sagittaria trifolia L. The more the light transmittance decreased, the more the numbers of leaves and floral axes decreased. The dry matter weight of tops and the number and the fresh weight of formated tuber were significantly different between the light transmittance of more than 50% and that of less than 30% at the 5% level of DMRT. Plant height, number and width of leaves, and number of floral axis were affected by the Light spectra. And the degree of their effects on growth of arrowhead was different form the light spectrum. The natural light and the clear cellophane film were the most effective to increase the number and the fresh weight of formated tuber and the green spectrum was the least effective to do those. Plant height grown at 0-5cm water depth was shorter than that at 10-20cm water depth. The deeper the water depth was, the lower the leaves number was. The fresh weight and the number of arrowhead tuber were most produced at 0cm water depth and theose were least at 20cm water depth. The shoot growth and the tuber formation of arrowhead was much increased with increase of the application rate of fertilizer. The difference of the transplanted tuber size was not affected at the shoot growth, but tuber formation of arrowhead was increased with increase of the transplanted tuber size. From viewing the effect of temperature after rice heading, the shoot growth and the tuber formation at $35^{\circ}C$ were also higher than those at $25^{\circ}C$.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of packaging on quality maintenance of paprika (Capsicum annuum L. cv. Nagano RZ) stored at three different temperatures. In Korea, paprika is stored and distributed under ambient conditions. To ensure the freshness maintenance, determining optimal storage temperature is necessary. Paprika were unpacked (control) or packed with polyamide film and stored at 5℃, 10℃ and 20℃ for 35 days. Quality characteristics such as weight loss and appearance were examined. Paprika packed with polyamide film showed less quality changes compared to unpacked paprika under all the storage temperatures. The commercial properties tended to decrease rapidly during storage at 20℃ regardless of packing. The degree of weight loss was significantly lower in packed paprika compared to unpacked paprika. It was found that soluble solids, pigments, hardness, etc. were complexly affected by storage temperature and film packaging. For paprika, the storage temperature of 5℃ or 10℃ was effective in maintaining freshness; paprika packed in polyamide film packing maintained greater freshness than unpacked paprika. Our results showed that, packaging is required to preserve the freshness and to improve the marketability of paprika in the domestic market. It seems that it is necessary to continuously search for an effective packaging method.
