The disease incidence rates of Phytophthora root rot of A. macrocephala caused by P. drechsleri were dramatically increased in two distinctive periods at experimental fields of National Crop Experiment Station(NCES), Suwon, in 1999 and in 2000 ; one was in the period of 30 to 45 days old seedling stage in spring and the other was just after heavy rainy season in late summer or in early fall. The disease was occurred at seedling stage under the conditions of ${{\geq}15^{\circ}C}$ of average temperature with ${{\geq}100mm}$ rainfalls for 20 days and the tendencies were similar in both year. By the disease, rhizome propagated field was more damaged(18.6%) than seed propagated field(56.0%). Comparing the disease incidence rates at five different fields in Suwon, Youngju and Andong, the damages at soil improving fields and non-mulching fields were less severe than those at continuous cropping fields without soil improvement and mulching fields and occurrence. Expansion of the disease were seemed to be highly related with the populations of P. drechsleri in soils depend on the cultivation method and field conditions. Although the populations of the pathogen in soils collected from Andong and Youngju, in which rhizome were continuously propagated for two and three years respectively, were comparably less than that from Suwon, in which rhizome were propagated for one year, however, the damages by the disease were more severe in Andong and Youngju. So, two or more years of cultivation at the same field may not be useful for Atractylodes plants..

The experiments were carried out to compare the growth characteristics of excised seminal roots in Japonica type, Indica- Japonica hybrids and its parents. Based on the modified culture medium by Kawata et al., several levels of pH. sucrose and casamino acid were varied in the culture media. The excised root length at 27$^{\circ}C$ incubator was little different between Japonica type and Indica-Japonica hybrids, but at 30$^{\circ}C$ incubator the excised root elongation of Indica-Japonica hybrids was much better than that of Japonica type. The dry matter weight of excised root in Indica- Japonica hybrids was significantly heavier than in Japonica type at both 27 and 30$^{\circ}C$ incubators. The difference of dry root weight between Japonica type and Indica- Japonica hybrids was caused from the number of lateral roots, especially the root numbers of 25 cm length. The main and lateral seminal root growth of Japonica type grew best at the lot of 0.2 percent casamino acid. However, the lots of 0 and 0.2 percent casamino acid showed good results in the main and lateral excised root growth. respectively of Indica-Japonica hydrids. The growth of excised roots was better in Indica-Japonica hybrids than in Japonica type at even various levels of pH, sucrose and casamino acid. Between the parents of Indica - Japonica hybrids, the excised root growth of Indica type was more predominant than that of Japonica type, and the effect of casamino acid on the excised root growth in the formar was similar to that of Indica type. This result indicated that the growth characteristics of excised seminal roots in Indica Japonica hybrids were derived from the parent, Indica type.

Objective : The explanations regarding the function, region, and related internal organ and meridian of Jonggeun as discovered in historical texts were studied in an attempt to understand the true concept of Jonggeun. Method : Texts were searched to extract sentences that are relasted to Jonggeun, and these were used to categorize and analyze the area, related meridian and organ, function, and disease symptom. Thereafter, how Jonggeun affects the whole body and the regions of Jonggeun were contemplated. Result & Conclusion : Jonggeun can be divided into what is related to sexual intercourse, and into sokgol and Ligigwan. Here, things related to sexual intercourse explains the function of penis arousal. The functions of Sokgol and Ligigwan signifies that they serve as the base points for the body when it exercises, and they cooperate with Chungmaek to provide blodo and vitaility to body joints. There are two major differing opinions regarding the region of Jeonggeun. One explains that it exists within the genitalia, and the other sees fit to believe that it exists within small abdomen. Considering the functions of Sokgol and Ligigwan, it is right to view that Jonggeun exists around Gigahyeol, and the view limited to genitalia only considers Jonggeun around sexual intercourse.

This study was undertaken to assess the effects of seed treatment and soil moisture content on mesocotyl elongation in rice seedlings. The effect of the high temperature pre-treatment on the mesocotyl elongation was 7 times as great as the control (non treatment). The mesocotyl lengths were of maximum value at the 8％ soil moisture, but of minimum value at the 16％ soil moisture plot, showing decreasing trend of mesocotyl length as soil moisture increases. The mesocotyl elongations were much greater at the ABA treated plot than at the GA$^3$, IAA and Kinetin plots. The relationship between the mesocotyl and excised root elongations was not evident, but the weight of excised roots became heavier with longer mesocotyl length.

Background: This study was conducted to investigate the growth characteristics, root yield and curcuminoid content of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), cultivated using mother seed rhizomes (MR) and finger seed rhizome (FR) of different sizes. MR are attached to the stem, and FR are connected to the MR, and are used as a general seed rhizome. Methods and Results: Seed rhizomes of different types and sizes were used: large, medium and small for FR, and large, half-sized, and small for MR. These were assigned to the experimental groups and cultivated under greenhouse conditions. The growth characteristics, root yield, and curcuminoid content did not show clear difference between MR and FR, but suggest that the larger seed rhizomes (above 30 g) could have higher root yields. On average, harvested mother rhizomes (HMR) contained more curcuminoid than harvested finger rhizomes (HFR), while the yield of HFR was higher than that of HMR. The higher weight of harvested roots correlated significantly with elevated curcuminoid content. Conclusions: The two seed rhizomes, MR and FR, did not differ in root yield and curcuminoid contents, but larger seed rhizomes may produce better root yields. This suggest that the optimum seed rhizome is larger FR, to produce higher yields and quality in turmeric root production.

This study was conducted to determine the appropriate fertilization level for growing one year old rhizome of Atractylodes macrocephala KOIDZ. According to N and K amounts were increased, the growth of above-ground parts was decreased but P was increased at this time. Based on N-P-K levels, application of 8-9-3 kg/10a was the most effectiveness for the growth of above-ground part, and 8-3-3 kg/10a for that of underground part. It can be estimated that 6-4-6 kg/10a treatment based on N-P-K may be the optimum fertilization level to obtain the highest yield of Atractylodes macrocephala KOIDZ using one year old rhizome.

Ligusticum chuanxiong is receiving much attentions as one of the important medicinal crops with the increasement of the crude drug demands. This study was conducted to obtain the basic informations of breeding of Ligusticum chuanxiong. Embryological characteristics were examined to elucidate the process of male and female gametophytic development and fertilization. Meiosis and nucleus division of megaspore and microspore were proceeded normally. With regard to the formation of female gametophyte, only a half of female gametophyte developed to normal egg apparatus. While another 50% showed abnormal egg apparatus with poly-nuclei or non-nuclei ovule. The pollens developed from the micros pore were formed more than 90 % of normal pollen. It was difficult to observe fertilization because ovule tissue was very compact and cell was extremely tiny, but could be easely observed proembryo and embryo formation. Only 30 percent developed into proembryo and subsequently into embryo, and the others were degenerated.

Seed coating and pelleting techniques have been used in many crops to improve the germination vigor of tiny and light seeds. Cultivated Chinese-foxglove (Rehmannia glutlnosa) has been infected by various types of virus derived from vagetative propagation of rootstock. Seed characteristics and alginate-coated seed germination rate have been investigated to get basic information for healthy seedling production through seed propagation. Chinese-foxglove showed different numbers of seeds per pod from 61 in Seocheon local to 207 in Jiwhang 1 and 1,000grain weight also varied from 70mg of Seocheon local to 130mg of Jiwhang 1. Seeds of Chinese-foxglove has dormancy because that seed collected last year more stimulated than that of this year at germination test. Optimum alginate concentration for pellected seeds germination was 2%.
