In order to elucidate the ecological and phenological responses of bean under global warming situation, we investigated leafing and flowering phenomena and growth traits of Baktae and Seomoktae in control plot (ambient $CO_2$ concentration and temperature) and warmed plot (elevated $CO_2$ concentration and increased temperature than control) in green house. Average $CO_2$ concentration and temperature were set 540 ppm in treatment and higher $2.2^{\circ}C$ in treatment than control. The appearance of leaf unfolding and the initiation of blooming and fruit maturing in Seomoktae were late in treatment than control. In case of Baktae, the number of total pods and seeds per plant in treatment was fewer than that in control. For Seomoktae, the number of total pods per plant and weight of total seeds per plant were decreased in treatment than in control. Thus, the number of pods and seeds of Baktae declined and the production of Seomoktae was decreased under global warming condition. This result indicates that site selection and crop yield for cultivating of the bean may be changed into new area due to global warming condition.

애기장대에 납을 농도별로 처리하였을 때 식물의 생장과 종자 발아에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 환경부고시 오염물질 배출기준치를 기준 농도로 하고 이보다 10배 및 50배 높은 농도의 납을 각각 처리한 애기장대의 줄기생장을 조사한 결과 오염물질 배출기준 농도와 이보다 10배 높은 농도에서는 줄기 생장이 정상식물보다 약 18%정도 감소되었다. 또한 오염물질 배출기준 농도보다 50배 높은 농도를 처리한 식물에서는 정상식물보다 약 41% 줄기생장이 감소하였다. 3가지 농도의 납을 애기장대에 처리한 후 식물의 뿌리 생장을 조사한 결과 오염물질 배출기준농도를 처리한 식물의 뿌리 생장은 정상식물과 거의 유사하였으나 오염물질 배출기준농도의 10배 이상이 되면 뿌리 생장이 전혀 되지 않았다. 3가지 농도의 납을 처리한 배지에서 애기장대의 종자 발아율을 측정한 결과 오염물질 배출기준 농도와 이보다 10배 높은 농도를 처리한 배지에서는 종자 발아율이 100%로 나타나 정상배지에서의 발아율과 차이가 나타나지 않았으나 오염물질 배출기준 농도보다 50배 높은 농도를 처리한 배지에서는 발아율이 0%로 나타나 종자 발아가 전혀 되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 토양 속에 침적된 납은 애기장대의 생장과 종자 발아에 영향을 미치어 줄기 및 뿌리의 생장을 감소시켰으며, 또한 종자 발아에도 매우 치명적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각된다.

An investigation was conducted to ascertain the basic information on characteristics of embryonic tissue development among Korean Ginseng, American ginseng, $F_{1}$ hybrids and $BC_{1}F_{1}(F_{1}$ pollen back cross to $BC_{1}=Korean\;Ginseng)seeds$. The specific activities of lipoxygenase (LOX) and the protein assays were made during the above embry­onic growth period at 5 or 25 degree C. The results are summarized as follows: The fresh weights(mg) of germinating seeds were significantly different among species. Ginseng seeds were stratified at $5^{\circ}C\;for\;60\;days$ the ratios of embryo/endosperms in $P.g.,\;P.q\;or\;F_{1}\;were\;about\;90{\%}$. The ratio was in $BC_{1}F_{1},\;79.2{\%}$ during the same period. The ratios of embryo/endosperms of seeds of P.g. or P.q. germinated at $5^{\circ}C$ showed rather higher values as compared to that at $25^{\circ}C$ LOX specific activity the highest in the $F_{1}$ and decreased in the order of P.g., P.q., and $BC_{1}F_{1}$. The highest LOX specific activity was shown at 80 days after sowing, followed by 70 days sowing, the least LOX activity was shown at 60 days.

We investigate the effect of post-conditioning periods and seed orientation on the vigor of cucurbit seeds with dry heat treatment (DHT). All the dry-heat treated seeds exhibited varying degree of seed vigor decreases. In general, pumpkin seeds showed less vigor decreases than the bottle gourd seeds. When the dry heat treated seeds were germinated after post-conditioning for 0, 30, and 120 days, the percentage of germination was enhanced by increasing the period of post-conditioning and the efficiency of post-conditioning differed by crop and cultivar. In both bottle gourd and pumpkin, the vigor of seeds placed in vertically upward and horizontal orientations was higher than that of the seeds placed in the vertically downward orientation. The results suggested that the vigor of dry-heat treated seeds could be improved by applying the proper post-conditioning and seed orientation.

Transplantings of onion (Allium cepa L.) seedlings are required for higher germinability and uniformity. This study was done to determine effects of various seed treatments (seed cleaning, priming, GA$_3$, prechilling, drying, and light quality during seed drying) on germination and seedling emergence. Nongwoodaego and Changnyungdaego were used as cultivars for checking seed germination, and two cultivars and Cheonjuguhyeonghwang were investigated with seedling production rate. Seed cleaning using water prior to the other treatments greatly increased germination rate. Priming with 200mM Ca(NO$_3$)$_2$ solution somewhat alleviated the germination rate while GA$_3$ did not. Prechilling had the highest rate among the treatments. Seed drying after prechilling enhanced the rate compared to non drying, and during drying the prechilled seeds red light illumination showed the greatest rate in comparison with dark, blue, and far-red ones. Seedling production rate was enhanced in sequential treatments of seed cleaning, prechilling for 3 to 5 days, and red light treatment during 6 hour seed drying.

Quantity of protein, amino acid, and sugar leaked from seeds was greater as the viability of seeds was dropped by the time elapsed of seed aging treatment. In the seeds with the artificial aging treatment for 20 days, 35.8 mg of protein was leaked on the 4th day after soaking, which was 6.9 times higher than that of control. Leakage of amino acid was also higher from low quality seeds treated with the aging treatment. In the seeds with the aging treatment for 20 days, $36.5{\mu}g$ fig of sugar was leaked on the 4th day after soaking, which was 2.8 times higher than that of control. The leakage of inorganic compound was higher from the low quality seeds, and leakage of total protein, amino acid, and sugar. According to .the quantity of leakage, water soluble compounds, which can be used for the assessment of seed quality without any destruction, were protein and potassium. Germination rate and percentage of seeds were dropped with the seed aging treatment, and the seed viability could be recovered by priming treatment. This phenomenon was very clear when the low quality seeds were germinated at low temperature.

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of sulphuric acid, cutting, cold stratification and hot water on the germination of Sophora japonica seeds, which have difficulty to germinate because they have hard and thick seed coats. The seeds were immersed in 30, 60 and 90% sulphuric acid for 30 minutes as seed scarifications, and cut 1/8, 2/8 and 3/8 of the opposite parts of radicles. As cold stratification the seeds were wrapped in wet towel, and then stored in plastic bags in a refrigerator $(4^{\circ}C)$ for 3, 5 and 10 days. The seeds were immersed in hot water $(90{\sim}95^{\circ}C)$ for 2,5 and 10 minutes. Pretreated seeds represented different germination properties, respectively. After sulphuric acid treatment, the seeds showed an increase in germination (G) and germination index (GI). Compared to the other treatments, 90% sulphuric acid showed the highest G (31.7%) and GI (6.2). The G and GI of cut seeds decreased with the increase of seed cutting lengths. And G and GI of cold stratificated seeds were not significantly different among the days treated (p=0.258). Two minutes treatment of hot water showed lower G and Gl than control, and the seeds were not germinated in 5 and 10 minutes treatments of hot water. At the result of relative growth rate and T/R ratio of seedlings from pretreated seeds, the seedlings from seeds in 90% sulphuric acid treatment represented the highest relative growth rate and T/R ratio.

Bakanae Disease is an abnormal plant growth caused by Gibberella fujikuroi. The infected plants several inches taller than normal plants in seedbed and field. To control bakanae disease, we made a seed disinfectant from garlic extract. And we isolated allicin($C_6H_{10}OS_2$) from garlic extract and the content was 0.62%. In order to develop efftive seed disinfectant from Garlic extract, we compared it with three seed disinfectants(benomyl, prochloraz, fludioxonil). Prochloraz, fludioxonil and Garlic wettable powder controlled Bakanae disease of rice very well, while benomyl did not suppress the disease enough. Water temperature was turned to be an important factor for controlling the disease by treating seed disinfectants. It was confirmed that the seed disinfectant from garlic extract can be used as non-toxic agricultural medicines.

The effects of priming with different polyethylene glycol (PEG 6, 000) solutions on the germination, emergence characteristics and early plant growth in rice, barley and wheat were investigated. Rice, barley and wheat seeds were subjected to various priming conditions of osmotic potentials (-0. 75, -1.00 and -1.50 MPa) of PEG, and incubation period were 5 days at 25, 20, 2$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The percentage of water absorption was highest in barely, and lowest in rice, and all the treatments enhanced water absorption in barley, but showed no significant effects in rice and wheat. Respiration quotient was lower than none PEG treatment seeds, and those of barley and wheat were higher than rice regardless of PEG concentration, and that of rice increased with high PEG concentration. Total germination percentage of osmoconditioning seeds with PEG was higher than that of none treatment seed, and those of barley and wheat were significant. The artificially deteriorated seeds with PEG treatment seeds after ageing treatment could recover to nearly the same germination level as that of the control seeds. The effects of coating polymer were higher than osmoconditioning with PEG, and germination characteristics in rice showed varietal difference at PVP and waterlock at recoated seeds after PEG treatment. Osmoconditioning with PEG reduced mean germination and emergence time, but there was no difference among PEG concentrations. The plant height of PEG treaed seed in rice was taller and those of barely and wheat showed varietal difference, and those of polymer-coated seed after PEG treatment were different among the polymers. The dry weight of PEG treatment were different among the crops, and those were increased with the high PEG concentration. The emergence percentage of PEG-treated seed were higher than none-treated seed, and those were decreased with the increased PEG concentration, and the highest emergence percentage of rice, barley and wheat were 90, 50 and 50% soil moisture content, respectively. The time to emergence in rice was longer than barley and wheat, and those in rice was shortened in high soil moisture content, and barley and wheat were shortened in low soil moisture content.
