Removal of apical ear after silking is a method to increase seed production in corn inbreds. Due to the phenomenon of apical dominance, the subapical ear would develope and produce seeds following the removal of the apical ear. This experiment was conducted to investigate the varietal difference in subapical ear development and seed production. Days to silking of subapical ears were delayed by about 4 days compared to normal apical ears. Cob length and filled ear length of subapical ears across seven inbreds tested were reduced by 21% and 36%, respectively. Those of inbred INV302 decreased less and subapical ear of inbred NC246 were barren, which incicated the varietal defferences. Number of kernel rows, kernels per row, and total kernels per ear also decreased. The mean reduction rates for those characters were 28%, 37%, and 47%, respectively. Weights of ears and kernels were reduced and showed different response among inbred lines. Coefficients of variations for cob and filled ear lengths, number of kernel rows and kernels were greater in subapical ears than in apical ears. Seed production of subapical ears was 40 ~ 80% of apical ears, depending on inbred lines when the apical ear is removed immediately after silking.

This study was conducted to determine the optimal sowing date for seed yield of summer oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivars "Darkhorse (DH)" and "Highspeed (HS)" in Wanju, Jeonbuk province between 2017 and 2018. We investigated seed yield from 4 sowing dates: July 15, July 30, August 15, and August 30. We evaluated the agronomic characteristics of summer oats (DH and HS). We found the heading date of all cultivars to be within 50 days. Delayed sowing resulted in significantly increased plant height for both years and cultivars. There was no significant difference in spike length of DH and HS which ranged from 12.8 to 17.8 cm. The sowing date of July 30 produced a higher number of grains per spike, but this yield differed significantly by year and cultivars. In 2017, the first sowing resulted in the lowest DH yield at 132 kg per 10a, while the second sowing had the highest yield at 227 kg. HS yield was the lowest in the first sowing at 126 kg and the highest in the third sowing at 219 kg. In 2018, DH had the lowest yield from the first sowing at 184 kg per 10a, and the highest from the second sowing at 240 kg, but there was no significant difference between these yields. The first sowing for HS gave the lowest yield at 160 kg, and the second sowing produced the highest at 258 kg. The germination rate of harvested seeds from each sowing date in 2017 and 2018 was found to be higher than 85% and there was no significant difference between the two cultivars in the 2018 germination rate test. Thus, we found the optimal sowing date for summer cultivation of oats for the highest seed yield to be between July 30 (second sowing) and August 15 (third sowing).

To investigate the domestic seed production potential of Italian ryegrass, it was sown in autumn in the southern region and harvested in the spring of the following year to investigate the productivity and quality of seeds and straw. Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) 'GreenCall' variety was sown in Jinju, Gyeongnam in the fall of 2020 with three seeding rates (20, 30 and 40 kg/ha). The experiment was arranged consisted of a randomized block design with three replications. The ryegrass was sown on October 17, 2020, and the harvest was on May 31, about 60 days from the heading stage. The heading stage of Italian ryegrass was April 28, and there was no difference among treatments. Plant height was significantly shorter in the 40 kg/ha seeding treatment group, and there was no significant difference in the remaining treatments. The resistance of lodging, disease, and cold did not show significant differences among treatments. Spike length and number of seeds per spike were highest at 20 kg/ha seeding amount, and there was no difference in the remaining treatments. The seed yield was the highest at 1,956 kg/ha in the 20 kg/ha seeding rate, and there was no difference in the 30 and 40 kg/ha seeding rates. The dry matter content of seeds and straws was 45.60 and 41.83% on average, and there was no significant difference among treatments. The amount of remaining straw after seed harvesting was found to be 7,689 kg/ha on average on a dry basis, and it was high in the 40 kg/ha sowing area, but there was no significant difference among treatments. According to the above results, it was found that it is most advantageous to sow at 20 kg/ha when producing Italian ryegrass seeds through autumn sowing in the southern region.

Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) was a major pathogen of watermelon and had affected seriously to watermelon production in Korea. Rapid and sensitive detection method of CGMMV associated with bottle gourd (Lagenafia siceraria) seeds was developed by using RT-PCR in this study. A pair of primeri Wmfl and Wmrl, specific for CGMMV was designed from coat protein gene sequences of CGMMV-W and used for amplifying 420 bp product in RT-PCR. To simplify the virus extraction procedure and reduce an inhibitor from the extract for the RT-PCR, some methods using ethanol precipitation, double filtration, polyethylene glycol precipitation and phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol extraction procedure were compared and the phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol extraction procedure was selected by its enhanced sensitivity. This detection method using the selected extraction step and the primers for RT-PCR could reliably detect an infected level of one CGMMV-infested seed in 1,000 seeds. This rapid and sensitive RT-PCR assay provides auseful tool for the specific detection of CGMMV in bottle gourd seed samples containing high levels of back-ground inhibitors.

This paper discusses methods for increasing the germination rate of barley seeds using low direct and alternating current power below 110V. The experimental apparatus used here is a parallel plate, with the bottom surface of the plate designed to be wider than the top surface to increase the size of the electrostatic field. As a result, three different magnitudes of electrostatic fields were created on the plates: the first ranging from 400V/cm to 600V/cm, the second from 600V/cm to 900V/cm, and the third from 2200V/cm to 2400V/cm. The finite difference method was applied to analyze the electrostatic field inside the parallel plate. The plant seeds used in the experiments were barley seeds produced domestically. The average germination rate of barley seeds using the presented electrostatic field in this paper was 57%, while it was 65% when using a microwave of 2.45GHz, compared to a control group with a result of 31%. An important difference between using the electrostatic field and the 2.45GHz microwave is the dry method and wet method. When applying these two methods to practical seed germination, it is necessary to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each experimental approach and choose the appropriate method accordingly.
