Seed priming is a useful technique for rapid and uniform seed germination as well as early seedling establishment. This experiment was conducted to find out the optimum condition for Sorbus alnifolia seed priming with four concentrations of four reagents in germination property and seedling growth performance. The results are summarized as follows: Percent germination (PG) varied 2.67% to 24.67%, and S. alnifolia seeds had the highest PG in the treatment that were primed in 100mM $KNO_3$ solution for 2 days. Mean germination time was the shortest in 200 mM $KNO_3$ solution for 2 days. Seed priming with $KNO_3$ solutions increased germination speed (GS) and germination performance index (GPI) compared with non-primed seeds. Especially seed primed with 100 mM $KNO_3$ solution for 2 days showed the highest GS and GPI. The highest relative growth rate (RGR) and seedling vigor index (SVI) was significantly (p<0.05) different from the control and other treatments, respectively. RGR of height (0.0071) and root collar diameter (0.0141) of seedling from primed seeds were the highest in 400 mM NaCl solution for 2 days. The highest SVI (5.43) was observed in the seedlings from seeds primed in 100 mM $KNO_3$ solution for 2 days. Consequently, the optimum reagent and concentration were $KNO_3$ and 100 mM for the effective germination and seedling growth in S. alnifolia

To know the effect of water treatment sludge (WTS) as a rice seedling culture soil, rice seeds are sown, germinated and grown on the culture soils mixed with different ratios of WTS to sand (100:0, 50:50, 30:70, respectively), and their growth effects was compared to that of control, commercial culture soil. When WTS is used as a culture soil for rice, the length and weight of the top part of rice seedling somewhat decreased than those of control treatment while their root length and weight in all WTS treatments significantly increased. Although phosphorus and potassium uptake of rice seedling in WTS treatments was slightly decreased, WTS treatment showed to develop root growth which is necessary in the seedling stage of all plane. Such a stimulatory effect on root growth of rice seedling was significant in the mixture ratio of 50% WTS to 50% sand.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of shading on the growth of 1 -year-old seedlings of Cornus controversa. The height growth was highest in relative light intensities of 100% and 50%, but relative growth rate in 50% was higher than that in 100% treatment. The growth did not occur under 9% relative light intensity. The root collar diameter growth at different light intensities is similar to height growth. The leaf area was highest in 50% relative light intensity, and the leaf area under the light intensity was small compared with the control. SLA and LAI of seedlings increased with decreasing relative light intensity. The LAR and LWR of seedlings increased with decreasing light intensity, but LWR decreased at 9% relative light intensity. The dry weight of root, stem, leaf and branch, and the number of branch and leaf decreased with decreasing relative light intensity. T/R ratio was highest in 17% and 30% relative light intensity. Lateral root growth decreased with decreasing light intensity except for that in 50% light intensity.

The study was conducted in order to get basic information on seed germination and seedling growth through the experiments such as basal medium, concns of auxin, sucrose agar and pH values. Seed germination was very excellent in $3g/{\ell}$ hyponex and $5g/{\ell}$ peptone containing medium. Multiple shoots were formed in $1-3g/{\ell}$ hyponex and $5g/{\ell}$ pepton containg medium supplemented with $1.0g/{\ell}$ IBA, $30g/{\ell}$ sucrose and $8g/{\ell}$ agar. Growth of seedlings was more stimulated in the same amount of hyponex and peptone as above medium substituted with $40g/{\ell}$ sucrose and $6g/{\ell}$ agar without IBA.

무등산 수박의 유묘 생산에 있어 적정 배양액 농도를 구명하기 위하여 일본원시균형배양액을 기준으로 하여 NO$_3$-N, K 및 Ca의 농도별 첨가량에 따른 유묘생장반응을 조사하였다. 1. 배양액내 질소농도을 증가시킬수록 초장, 엽면적, 엽수, 엽장, 엽폭이 증가하였으며 생체중과 건물중도 증가하였다. 2. 배양액내 칼륨의 농도를 증가시켰을 경우 수박 유묘의 초장은 200ppm까지는 약간 증가하지만 엽면적, 엽수, 엽장, 생체중 및 건물중은 200ppm이상으로 증가시키면 감소하는 경향이었다. 3. 칼슘처리의 경우 농도의 증가가 생장의 증가를 나타내지는 않았으며 원시균형 배양액의 표준이라 할 수 있는 80ppm처리구의 생장이 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 4. 배양액(일본원시균형배양액 1/2농도)에 N의 농도를 200ppm으로 증가시킬 경우 수박유묘의 엽병내 N, K 및 Mg의 함량이 증가하였지만 P 및 Ca의 증가나 감소의 경향은 보이지 않았다. 5. K의 농도를 100ppm으로 증가시킬 경우 수박유묘의 엽병내 N, K 및 Mg의 함량이 증가하였지만 P 및 Ca의 증가나 감소의 경향은 보이지 않았다. 5. K의 농도를 150ppm으로 증가시킬 경우 수박유묘의 엽병내 N, K 및 Mg의 함량이 증가하였지만 P 및 Ca의 증가나 감소의 경향은 보이지 않았다. 그러나 200ppm이상으로 증가시킬 경우 N과 Mg의 감소가 나타났다. 6. 양액내 Ca의 농도를 증가시킬수록 엽병내 N, K Ca 및 Mg의 농도가 증가하는 반면 P의 경우 거의 변화가 없었으며,N의 경우는 200ppm 이상의 농도에서 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. Mg의 경우는 150ppm까지는 함량의 변화가 없었지만 200ppm 이상의 처리구에서 급격한 함량증가를 나타내었다.~21.2ml가 흘러나와 배지의 공극이 일정하지 않아 시간당 통과하는 양이 일정하지 않았다고 생각되었다. $\bigcirc$ 펄라이트 : 합섬A(비스코스+레이온)급액천의 유입은 소(1$\times$60cm)에서 21.8ml, 중(2$\times$60cm) 33.5ml, 대(3$\times$60cm) 43.4ml가 통과되었고 합섬(폴리에스텔)에서는 19.0~30.7ml로서 급액천의 규격에 따라 통과되는 차이가 있었다. 배지가 규격화되어 있어 급액천의 규격별로 일정하게 유입되었으며 급액천의 재질이 유입에 영향을 미친 것으로 사료되었다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the allelopathic effect against the regeneration of the seedling and to identify the presence of allelochemicals in Picea jezoensis natural population in Jirisan. Water-soluble extracts from leaves of different competition plants were collected to test their effects on seed germination and seedling growth of P. jezoensis. Phenolic compounds from leaves were quantified using GC/MS. The seed germination rate and seedling growth of P. jezoensis was reduced by extracts of all competition plants leaves. Monoterpenoids compound, which are generally well known in the allelochemicals has been detected in the leaf extracts. In conclusion, allelopathic chemicals of competition vegetation in P. jezoensis natural population could inhibit the seed germination and seedling growth of P. jezoensis, that is considered as a result of the lower seedling establishment.

Burcucumber (Sicyos angulatus L.), used as a medicinal or rootstock for cucurbitaceous crops have shown high variation in seed maturity and size. This study was carried out to determine the effect of seed maturity and size on seed germination, seedling emergence and growth of burcucumber, Seeds collected from a native site were divided into small, medium and large ones after sorted to mature and immature ones. Their germination, seedling emergence and growth were done in indoor and a green house. Mature seeds showed higher germination and seedling emergence rate than immature ones. Regardless of their maturity, medium. and small seeds showed higher germination rate than large ones. Medium and large seeds, however, had the greatest and the least seedling emergence, respectively. Seedling height, number of true leaves areas of cotyledons and true leaves except hypocotyl length were increased with increased seed size although were not affected by the maturity. Cotyledon, leaf, hypocotyl, root and their total dry weights were greater in large mature seeds than large immature ones while increased with increased seed size in both maturities.

This study was carried out to understand the effect of low temperature($4^{\circ}C$), heat shock($37^{\circ}C$) and drought stresses on the growth and gene expression of Arabidopsis ATSIZ3(at1g08910) mutants. The seedling growth of SIZ3-mutants were markedly inhibited by the treatment of heat shock or chilling stresses. However, there was no significant differences between wild type and SIZ3-mutants in seeding fresh weight. As compared to wild type plants, SIZ3-mutants showed 63.9% inhibition of seedling fresh weight by the treatment of 10 days drought stress, suggesting that SIZ3 is involved in the resistance of Arabidopsis to drought stress. Base on RT-PCR analysis, expression of SIZ3 mRNA in the wild type showed 20% inhibition by chilling stress, 3.7 and 4.5 fold increase by the treatment of heat shock or drought stresses, respectively.

The experiment was tried to identify culture media which was suitable for seed germination and seedling growth of wild orchids, Calanthe discolor and Habenaria radiata. When seeds of Calanthe discolor, which was treated with ultrasonics for 30 minutes, were sowed in Murashige and SKoog(MS) medium, germination was much more promoted than other treatments. Seedling of C. discolor grew more rapidly in 3g/L Hyponex and 2g/L tryptone(H$_3$T$_2$) medium and 3g/L Hyponex and 2g/L peptone(H$_3$P$_2$) medium, especially in H$_3$P$_4$ medium among those media, pseudobulb became more corpulent. Habenaria radiata, whose tubers were obtained from seedlings, were sprouted more vigorously in 3g/L Hyponex and 1g/L peptone(H$_3$P$_1$) medium and 1g/L Hyponex and 2g/L peptone(H$_1$P$_2$) medium; but multiplication of tubers, growth of daughter tubers and its corpulence were well established in 1g/L Hyponex and 2g/L peptone(H$_1$P$_2$) medium.

To investigate phytotoxic substances in Equisetum arvense, the aqueous extracts(25 and 8$0^{\circ}C$) or the freeze-drying matter from aqueous extracts($25^{\circ}C$) of E. arvense were tested at different concentrations for biological activities on callus induction and growth, seed germination, seedling growth and antibacterial function. Callus induction and growth of Oryza sativa and Brassica campestris ssp. pekinensis were inhibited by the aqueous extracts at 8$0^{\circ}C$ than at $25^{\circ}C$ and the higher concentrations. Callus growth of four receptor species was inhibited in order of Platycodon grandiflorum, Sesamum indicum, Brassica campestris ssp. pekinensis and Oryza sativa. Seed germination of Ο. sativa, S. indicum, and B. campestris ssp. pekinensis was not affected at low concentration, but it was proportionally inhibited by the higher concentrations. The greatest inhibition of seed germination was 28.3% compared to control, when 2,000$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of freeze-drying matter was applied to B. campestris ssp. pekinensis. Shoot growth was stimulated by 500$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of freeze-drying matter, but it was inhibited by the higher concentrations. Root growth was significantly inhibited compare to control at all concentrations. Antibacterial activity of freeze-drying matter didn't showed against Xantomonas oryzae and Eschrichia coli, but a small clear zone was formed by 500$\mu\textrm{g}$ of freeze-drying matter against Erwinia carotovora ssp. carotovora.
