A number of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms were isolated from roots of non-legumious crops and evaluated for their nitrogen-fixing ability on their host crops. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Among nitrogen-fixing isolates obtained from 9 different crops, several isolates showed relatively higher level of acetylene reduction activity on Spinach, Chinese cabbage, Cucumber, mustard and Egg plant. 2. When the isolates were inoculated into 4 host crops, a number of isolates were found to grow well on Spinach, Chinese cabbage and Cucumber, but particularly well on the former. 3. Results of this study suggest that nitrogen-fixing a symbiotic microorganisms are also present and able to grow well on roots of non-legumious crops, and stimulate plant growth by promoting growth and differentiation of roots.

Coastal sand-dune plants can survive very effectively with the help of various microbes, especially ecto- and endomycorrihizae. Penicillium citrinum KACC43900 was screened according to growth promoting activity on sand-dune plants Calystegia soldanella and Ischaemum anthephoroides. In this study, coastal sand-dune plants were treated with a fungal culture filtrate of endophytic fungus P. citrinum KACC43900 to confirm the promotion of plant growth. C. soldanella and I. anthephoroides were used as representative coastal sand-dune plants, and their shoot length, plant length, and dry weight were analyzed. The shoot lengths of control C. soldanella and I. anthephoroides were 8.60 cm and 8.12 cm, and those of samples treated with fungal culture filtrates of C. soldanella and I. anthephoroides for 20 days were 16.30 cm and 10.56 cm, respectively. The plant lengths of control C. soldanella and I. anthephoroides were 14.90 cm and 14.80 cm, and those of samples treated with fungal culture filtrates of C. soldanella and I. anthephoroides for 20 days were 24.06 cm and 17.06 cm, respectively. The dry weight of C. soldanella and I. anthephoroides treated with fungal culture filtrates of C. soldanella and I. anthephoroides for 20 days were 0.163 g and 0.032 g, respectively. It was shown that the growth of shoots in C. soldanella and I. anthephoroides was promoted, 89.54% and 29.60%, by culture filtrate of P. citrinum KACC43900.

Lilies as cut flowers are one of the most popular ornamental plants in South Korea. It is necessary to develop lily cultivars with high qualities. Therefore, highly efficient propagation systems are needed following release of elite cultivars. In this study, we used taurine treatment to improve the growth conditions including shoot and bulb formation, fresh weight gain, and reduction of rooting and browning. We experimentally evaluated the effect of taurine as a growth stimulator, at concentrations of 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mg/l. The results showed that 20 mg of taurine enhanced shoot formation by 85% and increased fresh weight 5.5-fold, which was higher than the approximately four-fold increase in the control. In addition, multiple bulb formation rate was increased by 80% and rooting by 82% following exposure to 20 mg/l of taurine. The efficiency of taurine treatment was higher than that of control with 50% multiple bulb formation rate and 60% rooting rate. The browning was 10.6% at 2.5 mg/l of taurine when compared with 0.8% at 20 mg/l. Taurine showed a positive effect on the overall growth of lily plants in terms of increased fresh weight, shoot formation rate, rooting, and formation of multiple bulbs, indicating that taurine can be used as an alternative to amino acids or as an antioxidant such as citrate and vitamin C in plant tissue culture.

These experiments were carried out to define the effects of 2.4-D, NAA and Benzyladenine on the differentiation and growth of the organs and the induction of callus from the potato meristem. The results were summarized as follows ; 1. The differentiation and growth of the shoots from the potato meristem was promoted in increased concentration of Benzyladenine but the callus was not induced on the M.S. medium containing Benzyladenine. 2. On the M.S. medium containing NAA 0.5 mg/l or higher concentration of NAA, the shoots were not initiated but the callus were induced from potato meristem. The growth of callus was promoted in increased concentration of NAA. 3. The roots were initiated from 50% of potato meristems planted on the M.S. medium containing more than 0.1 mg/l of NAA but the roots were pot initiated on the medium containing 2.4-D. 4. The shoot growth was significantly increased by increasing of 2.4-D concentration up to 0.1 mg/l, but the shoots were not initiated on the medium containing 2.4-D more than 1.0 mg/l. 5. For the induction and growth of the callus from potato meristem, NAA was more effective than 2.4-D and the most effective medium was M.S. medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l of NAA. 6. The M.S. mediums supplemented with BA 2.0 mg/l and NAA 0.1 mg/l or BA 1.0 mg/l and 2.4-D 0.1 mg/l showed good results for entire plant regeneration from potato meristem.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of plant growth retardants (daminozide, chlormequat, hexaconazole, uniconazole, paclobutrazole) and fungicides of triazole chemical (microbutanil, difenoconazole, terbuconazole, bitertanol) on the rooting of 'New Guinea' impatiens cuttings. In both 'Papete' and 'Anguilla', the formation of adventitious roots was promoted by all concentrations of chlormequat, hexaconazole, uniconazole, and paclobutrazole treated. More adventitious roots were formed with hexaconazole, uniconazole, and paclobutrazole than with chlormequat. Length of the longest root and rooting zone decreased at higher concentrations of chlormequat, hexaconazole, uniconazole, and paclobutrazole in 'Papete', while 'Anguilla' showed less responses. In contrast with plant growth retardants, the formation of adventitious roots was remarkably promoted by fungicides of triazole chemical such as microbutanil, difenoconazole, terbuconazole, and bitertanol in 'Pepete' and 'Martinique' impatiens, but was not in 'Pagopago'. However, length of the longest root and rooting zone showed more sensitive response in 'Martinique' and 'Pagopago' than in 'Pepete'. These results suggest that fungicides of triazole chemical can be effectively used for rooting promotion of impatiens cuttings.

This study was conducted to investigate the propagation characteristics of Cephalotaxus koreana by cutting, whose plant has been known to new anticancer treatments. The treatments of plant growth regulators, cutting media temperature and growing media were investigated to know the rooting ability of cuttings. For rooting formation affected by plant growth regulators and its concentration, The application of IBA 100 mg/L was most effective in all of the characteristics including rooting rate of 88.5%. The optimum media temperature by cutting was $24^{\circ}C$ (treatment IBA 100 mg/L, rooting rate 84.6%), predicting that greenwood cutting from June to July is most effective. VPPL (vermiculite+peatmoss+perlite 1:1:1(v/v/v)) showed the highest value in all of the characteristics including rooting rate of 68.5% for the effect of growing media on rooting formation.

This study demonstrates the influence of environmental conditions, other than iron, on pyoverdin production by fluorescent Pseudomosonas. In slightly acidic pH conditions(pH 6), cell yield was reduced while the siderophore production per cell yield was increased. The optimum temperatures for the siderophore production and cell yield was $19^{\circ}C$ and $28^{\circ}C$ for 7NSK2 and $12^{\circ}C$ and $19^{\circ}C$ for ANP15. The carbon and nitrogen balance showed that at low C : N ratio of the growth medium (higher nitrogen concentration), both cell yield and siderophore production was reduced. Use of different carbon sources revealed that citrate as a carbon source facilitated iron uptake and resulted in a significant reduction in siderophore production. However, at the late exponential phase, the iron content in the cell biomass was not significantly different from those grown in glucose or succinate. From these results it can be suggested that the environmental factors other than iron may also influence siderophore production by fluorescent pseudomonas.

KWON, Oh Yong (Chunju Teacher's Coll.) Partern of the amino acids influedced on nitrogen metabolism of edible bamboo sprouts. Kor. Jour. Bot. VI (4) : 5-10, 1963. It had been scarcely reported by any worker that the essential amino acids to be indispensable in our daily life contained in edible bamboo sprouts and that they had various pattern of free amino acids. For this reason, especially two species of Korean bamboo sprouts collected from the surburb of Chunju, in April, 1963 were used for researching the essential amino acids and free amino acids appeared on paper chromatography. The most suitable part for our edibles was investigated as a part of bio-chemical studies on Korean bamboo sprouts. The free amino acids contained in two species were found as 5-15 kinds and there were a few of difference according to it's growing parts. Many kinds of free amino acids were found in the end parts more than the tip parts and mid parts of bamboo sprouts. Besides, the essential amino acids in each species were found to 3-9 kinds. From the characteristics and the experiments marked above, it was suggested to the author that many kinds of free amino acids in the end part accelerated the formation of nitrogen comounds more than the other parts.

옥수수(Zea mays L.)의 생육 및 수확량은 온도, 일장, 강수량 등에 의해 영향을 밭는다. 본 연구에서는 남부지역 유휴 논을 이용하여 파종시기를 달리하여 옥수수를 재배하였을 때 생육 특성과 수확량을 분석하여 적정 파종시기를 규명하고자 하였다. 3월 하순에서 6월 중순까지 6차로 구분하여 파종하였을 때 출사일수와 성숙일수는 파종기가 늦어질수록 짧아졌다. 옥수수는 단일 및 고온 조건에 의해 생식생장으로의 전환이 빨라지는데, 본 연구에서도 파종이 늦어짐에 따라 단일과 고온에 의해 출웅과 출사가 촉진되었다. 간장과 착수고는 4월 상순까지는 높으나 파종이 지연됨에 따라 짧아졌다. 옥수수의 수량구성요소 중에 이삭장은 5월 하순까지는 유의적인 차이가 없으나 6월에 파종하였을 때에는 짧아졌으며, 이삭직경과 착립장도 파종이 늦어짐에 따라 가늘어지고 짧아져, 파종이 지연되었을 때 생육이 부진함을 알 수 있다. 이삭의 수확량은 4월 상순까지 파종하였을 때에는 800kg/10a 이상으로 높으나, 파종시기가 늦어짐에 따라 점차 감소하여 6월 중순에는 40% 이상 크게 감소하였다. 이는 수량구성요소 중에 이삭장, 이삭직경과 착립장 등 이삭 발달의 부진한 결과이다. 그리고 이삭을 제거한 지상부의 무게는 5월 하순까지의 파종에서는 유의적인 차이가 없으나 6월에는 큰 폭으로 감소하였는데, 이는 영양생장 기간이 짧아짐에 따른 결과로 보인다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 남부지역 논에서 옥수수를 재배할 때에는 늦어도 5월 중·하순까지는 파종하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

This experiment was conducted to elucidate the effect of plant growth regulators (PGR) on the root -mat formation of infant seedling (8- to 10-day-old seedling) of rice in machine transplanting. The rice seeds of Odaebyeo were socked in water with different concentrations of PGRs for 48 hours at room temperature. Seeding rate was 220 g per seed tray (30x60x3cm). Metalaxyl (25% wettable powder) was used for a fungicide. Generally, the metalaxyl-treated seeds markedly promoted the root growth of the rice seedling, while tetracy-cle, pachlobutrazol and NTN -821 reduced the seedling height and root length, and thickened the shoot diameter at higher concentation levels. Tetracycle decreased root length of the rice seedlings but increased root number per seedling, and root-mat formation was poor. Whereas, metalaxyl concentrations of 200 and 1,000 ppm markedly increased root length and number of root hairs without decreasing root number, thus root-mat formation was excellent. The optimum concentration of metalaxyl seed treatment to increase the root-mat formation of infant seedling of rice was about 200 ppm. Metalaxyl seed treatment could be advanced one to two days of the duration of root-mat formation compared with control.
