Rice seedlings were used to examine the effect of UV-B radiation on leaf elongation and development. Leaf elongation in both rice seedlings showed differently depending on each leaf age. UV-B radiation strongly reduced leaf elongation, 58-66% compared to without UV-B radiation, of two rice seedlings, therefore, those seedlings could not grow further. Both control and plants grown under UV-B regime showed a diurnial fluctuation in growth rate, showing maximum growth during the light period and minimum during the dark period. Leaf growth at the third leaf stage by UV-B treatment was considerably reduced by 1.7-fold than the control whereas at the fifth leaf stage was not changed. Hydrogen peroxide was considerably increased in the second phase of UV-B-induced response as catalase and peroxidase are deactivated with an increase of UV-B radiation.

Plants are altered not only in the outward appearance but also in their physiological and biochemical properties with reaction to the environmental stresses; particularly, the biosynthetic system of protein in situ rapidly responds to this. In order to investigate the change of properties of polypeptides in rice plants induced by several stresses, the seedlings were subjected to exposure to NaCl, drought, and low and high temperatures, respectively, and then some aspects of polypeptide variations were compared. Without exception, the rice plant, which is somewhat tolerant to environmental change, shows the alteration in several polypeptides. Moreover, newly synthesized polypeptides were observed in response to stresses. The existing proteins for the primary metabolic pathways were markedly decreased as each treatment progressed.

To clarify the varietal differences of resistance to complete flooding, physiological characteristics in relation to flooding resistance in each growth stage of rice plants, the present study was carried out. The rate of survival after flooding at seeding stage of rice plants of the cultivar 'FR 13A' and Ind. X Jap. cultivars were 91.8% and 33.8% to 40%, respectively, while the Japonica varieties were completely dead. The tolerant varieties which has higher rate of survival showed the higher $O_2$ release, the higher catalase activity and lower peroxidase activity according to flooding treatment. Japonica type varieties showed the higher elongation of plant during flooding, lower recovery of flooding damage and the abrupt decrease of yield according to the increase of flooding periods in comparision to Ind. X Jap. crossed varieties when they were flooded at the active tillering stage. When rice plants were flooded at the booting stage, Ind. X Jap. crossed varieties had the higher photosynthesis, respiratory rate, root oxidizing power, ethylene evolution and lower yield reduction in comparision to japonica varieties.varieties.

When rice straw was mulched, the inhibition of weed growth was observed in the barley field. This study was carried to indentify the influence of rice straw extract on germination, shoot and root growth of barley and water foxtail, according to extraction rate, temperature, growth stage, variety and soaking time. The inhibition rate of germination, shoot and root length of barley and water foxtail was higest in rice straw extract of $24^{\circ}C$, 5hours, 10%(w/v). Daerimbyeo's extract among 17 rice varieties inhibited growth of barley most, but Anjoongbyeo's was lowest. Among five growth stages, extract at seedling stages inhibited growth of barly and water foxtail most. Among 10 barley varieties, Seaolbori showed the greatest growth inhibition by rice straw extract.

Drought resistance and salt resistance of seedlings were compared with the polyethylene glycol(P.E.G) and NaCl solutions of the same osmotic potential($\Psi_\pi$=-10 bar). Plant height, seedling dry weight, chlorophyll content and leaf water potential decreased while the free proline content increased more in the P.E.G. than in the NaCl solution. Free amino acids increased 2.6 times in the P.E.G. solution and 3.6 times in the NaCl solution more than in the untreated(Hoagland's solution). Free proline occupied 66% and 61% of the content of total amino acids under water stress and salt stress, respectively. Besides free proline, phenylalanine in the P.E.G. solution and phenylalanine, alanine and asparagine in the NaCl solution increased distinctly. In short, it was shown that water and salt stress responses in seedling stage were relatively similar.

Water culture experiments were carried out to elucidate the effects of N availability, temperature and water potential of culture solution on the uptake and assimilation of N and dry matter accumulation by barley seedlings. N assimilation and dry matter accumulation at 3 to 4 leaves stage in barley plants were maximized at about 3.4 % of N concentration in leaf. N assimilation by barley plants increased with increase of nitrate concentration up to 80ppm in the solution. Over this level nitrate began to accumulated in the leaves and stems proportionally to the N availability in culture solution. Nitrate reductase activity increased in parallel with the increase in the concentration of reduced N in leaves. N uptake by barley plants decreased markedly when water potential reduced below -2 bar or when temperature dropped below 5$^{\circ}C$. These results suggest that the basal application rate of N, 60kg per hectare, for the barley crop needs to be re-examined under the concept of N use efficiency with taking into consideration of temperature and soil N availability because about a half of N accumulated in the leaves of barley plant before wintering is known to be lost by winter killing of above-ground part of the plant.

This study was conducted to confirm the utilization of Pleurospermum camtschaticum root extract as an organic agricultural material. Antioxidant activity of P. camtschaticum root extract, closely related to antibacterial activity, increased in a dose-dependent manner. In mycelial growth inhibitory activity, 100% P. camtschaticum root extract supressed over 70% for Colletotrichum coccodes and over 68% for Colletotrichum dematium. In the pepper fruit anthracnose development test, the size of the lesion decreased in a dose-dependent manner, which showed the same tendency as the previous results in inhibitory activity on mycelial growth. In the pepper seed germination and red pepper growth promotion test of P. camtschaticum root extract, oposite results was confirmed. The lower the concentration, the more the seed germination and growth promotion effects were shown. The phenol content of pepper leaves was also measured after pepper growth promotion test have been completed. The phenol content related to antibacterial activity increased in all treated groups compared to the untreated group. Therefore, the results of this study showed the possibility of development as an organic material.

To develop durable and stable breeding strategies far the control of rice bacterial blight (BB) disease, the near-isogenic lines (NILs) with diverse resistance genes to BB isolates were evaluated in plant at three different growth stages using four Korean ($K_1,\;K_2,\;K_3,\;K_{3a}$) and three Japanese isolates (I, II, III). The resistance of the NILs to seven BB isolates tended to increase with plant aging. At the seedling stage, the NILs with single resistance genes were mostly resistant to $K_1$ race but they showed partial or no resistance to other isolates. A NILs (IRBB5) possessing xa5 had full resistance to the four Korean isolates, illustrating that it is a useful source to give enhancement to Korean breeding program. At the maximum tillering stage, resistance of NILs to $K_2,\;K_3$, I and II isolates considerably increased while resistance to $K_1,\;K_{3a}$ and III were similar to those of seedling stage. NILs with resistance gene of Xa4, xa5 and Xa7 proved to be the most stable to BB isolates at the maximum tillering stage. At the heading stage, most resistance genes of NILs were effective against BB isolates, and xa5 showed the consistent resistance to all the BB isolates including $K_{3a}$ and III isolates, demonstrating that resistance genes of Xa4, xa5 and Xa7 can be used either alone or combined to enhance resistance to BB disease in Korea.

This study was conducted to select and develop herbicide resistant plant through tissue culture. Growth response of seedlings and callis of various rice varieties with Echinochloa species was assessed under the treatment of various rates of butachlor [N-(butoxy methyl)-2-chloro-2', 6'-diethyl acetamide] and simetryne [2,4-bis(ethyl amino)-6-methyl thio-1,3,5-triazine]. Further, succinate dehydrogenase activity was determined in herbicide treated callus to characterize different response of plants to herbicide. Rice variety like Sangpung showed relative resistance in both callus and seedling states against butachlor, indicating maintenance of resistance. However, in the simetryne treatment, the similar response was not observed in callus and seedling state, although there was a great different response among plant materials against simetryne. Rice variety which exhibited resistance in callus and seedling states showed low succinate dehydrogenase inhibition index. Succinate dehydrogenase inhibition index can be used as an important marker characters to differentiate varietal response of plant to herbicide. Rice plant was differentiated from butachlor and simetryne tolerant callus treated at $2.5{\times}10^{-5}$ M is growing under the growth chamber and can be used for resistant source.
