Plants are sessile and rely on a wide variety of growth hormones to adjust growth and development in response to internal and external stimuli. We have identified a gene, designated NAN, encoding a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that regulates cell elongation and seed germination in plants. NAN has an HLH motif in its C-terminal region but does not have any other discernible homologies to bHLH proteins. A bipartite nuclear localization signal is located close to the HLH motif. An Arabidopsis mutant, nan-1D, in which NAN is activated by the insertion of the 35S enhancer, exhibits growth retardation with short hypocotyls and curled leaves. It is also characterized by reduced seed germination and apical hook formation, symptomatic of GA deficiency or disrupted GA signaling. The phenotypic effects of nan-1D were increased by treatment with paclobutrazol (PAC), an inhibitor of gibberellic acid (GA) biosynthesis. NAN is constitutively expressed throughout the life cycle. Our observations indicate that NAN has a housekeeping role in plant growth and development, particularly in seed germination and cell elongation, and that it may modulate GA signaling.

This study was carried out to Identify wood and charcoal segments, which were excavated in 1994 at the Seohaean highway construction site along the western coast of Korea ; Tuntaeri, Hwasunggun. We identified the objects excavated at the fire places of the Tuntaeri dwelling sites (early Koryo period ; A. D. $11\~12C$) ; charcoal pieces and 1 wood segment, which was used for the handle of a metal hook. Chestnut(Castanea crenata), deciduous oaks(Quercus spp.) and maple(Acer app.) were identified from the charcoals, whereas the wood segment as willow species(Salix spp.). These species seem to represent warm and wet climate in the middlewest Korea during $11\~12C$.

Proximate compositions of the roots of cultured and wild Codonopsis lanceolata were examined as tile basic reasearch for the study of their source of processed foods.No significant difference in the contents was found between the wild root and thecultivated at 3$0^{\circ}C$ in biotronroom. In view of the results to have measured mineralswhich is included in 14 sorts of Codonopsis lanceolata and surveyed their distribution.12 kinds of minerals including T1, Co, Ge, Sm, Mo, Sc, Be, Cd, As, Ga, Bi, ph are ne-vel or little included in almost source. Other twenty-one sorts of minerals (Ni, Se,Ba, Sb, Si, Ti, B, Li, Ifs, Ca, Sr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, p, Al, Na, V, Cr, K) are more or less in-cluded in all source and Ca, Mg, p, K, and Fe are metals that are included in large qu-entities in comparison with others. No minerals difference in the contents was foundbetween the cultivated temperature. The content of elements of inorganic metal differsaccording to the part of C. lanceolata.

The endangered species of Cyathea spinulosa (tree ferns) are among the least concerned ferns of Nepal that bring threats to them and their habitat. A way to reduce such threats is by maintaining a database of species' whereabouts and generating a scientific understanding the habitat preferences. This will eventually help in the formulation of conservation plans for the species. This research aimed to characterize the suitable habitat of C. spinulosa by enumerating the location of species in the Panchase Forests of central Nepal. The statistical index method was applied to relate the occurrence locations of species with various environmental factors for the development of indices. The suitable habitat of C. spinulosa (more and most suitable categories) covered 119 km² and accounted for 43% of the total area studied. 74.4% of occurrence locations of C. spinulosa were recorded from these habitats. The habitat characteristics suitable for C. spinulosa were: proximity to streams (high moisture), land covered by forested area (shady area), mid-elevations of hills about 1,000 m to 2,000 m (sub-tropical climate), slope gradient of 20° to 40° (steep slopes), and northern to eastern aspects. These habitat characteristics could be considered for in-situ protection of tree ferns and designating the conservation plots.

Cricetinae 아과 Clethrionomys 아속에 속하는 한국산 대륙밭쥐(Clethrionomys rufocanus)의 정자의 형태적 특징을 알아보기 위하여 주사 및 투과형전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. C. rufocanus정자머리의 모양은 날카롭게 굽은 하나의 dorsal hook를 가지며, 전체적인 머리모양은 마치 도끼모양의 형태를 취하고 있었다. C. rufocanus정자의 전체길이는 95.8 ${\mu}m$이었으며, 정자머리의 길이는 7.8 ${\mu}m$, 꼬리는 88.0 ${\mu}m$이었다. 꼬리는 경부 (1.0 ${\mu}m$), 중편부(22.0 ${\mu}m$), 주편부와 미부 (65.0 ${\mu}m$)로 각각 구성되어져 있었다. 분절주 (segmented columns)는 약 10~12개의 마디로 이루어져 있었으며, 미토콘드리아의 수는 약 170~178개 정도이었다. 첨체 후 덮개는 핵의 1/2을 점유하고 있었으며, 적도절은 핵 표면의 첨체 후 덮개(post-nuclear cap)와 첨체덮개(acrosomal cap) 사이에 위치하고 있었다. 1, 5, 6번의 외측섬유들은 다른 것보다 더 크며, 섬유초 (fibrous sheath)와 종 지주(longitudinal column)은 주편부에서 관찰되어졌으며, 미부에서는 섬유초가 존재하지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 보아, 정자두부와 꼬리의 형태적인 구조는 정자의 진화 패턴과 종을 분류하는데 유용한 정보를 제공하리라 여겨진다.

In Malaysia, Labisia pumila Benth & Hook f, popularly known as 'Kacip Fatimah' has been used traditionally to treat various elements of the woman's health in Malay community. The objective of this study was to develop randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) based DNA markers for the identification of L. pumila and to distinguish its three varieties from each other. Total DNA from nine accessions of L. pumila was extracted by CTAB method and polymerase chain reactions (PCR) were carried out to amplify the segments of DNA using different primers to develop DNA barcode using RAPD technique. To find out variety-specific DNA marker/s, twenty different 10-mer primer sequences with annealing temperature from 36-$40^{\circ}C$ were evaluated in triplicate. Out of 20 random primers, two primers (OPA-1 and OPA-2/A10) were selected which produced reliable RAPD band patterns. To have DNA based handle, two RAPD amplification products were cloned and sequenced to determine the identity of the DNA. RAPD analysis using two random primers generated 72 discrete bands ranging in size 200 bp-3,000 bp. Fifty nine of these were polymorphic loci (82%) and thirteen were non-polymorphic loci (18%). A total of 32 bands polymorphic loci (72%) were amplified with primer OPA-1 and analyzed by cluster analysis and UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic) to present a dendogram depicting the degree of genetic relationship among nine accessions of L. pumila. Our results shows the reasonable genetic diversity among the L. pumila varieties and within varieties; and two RAPD marker sequences obtained could be used to identify L. pumila at species level.

콩나물의 상품성은 세근의 형성유무 및 형태의 영향을 크게 받는다. 본 연구는 세근발생 억제용 BA의 처리농도에 따른 콩나물의 발아, 생장, 하배축과 뿌리길이 비율을 포함한 형태의 변화를 추적하고자 은하콩, 풍산나물콩, 소원콩 및 준처리를 공시품종으로 증류수, 1,2,4,8 ppm BA 용액에 5시간 침종한 후 6일간 재배하였다. 하배축 길이가 상품으로 출하 가능한 7cm 이상의 비율은 소원콩에서 가장 높고, 준저리는 중간 정도이었던 반면, 상호 비슷한 비율을 보인 은하콩과 풍산콩나물에서 가장 낮았다. 세근의 발생은 풍산나물 콩과 준저리에서 가장 적었고, 4 ppm 이상으로 BA를 처리할 경우 전혀 일어나지 않았다. 하배축 및 뿌리의 길이는 BA 처리농도가 증가할수록 비례하여 감소하였으나, BA처리농도에 관계없이 준저리의 하배축이 가장 길었다. 하배축과 hook 직경은 2∼4 ppm의 BA 처리농도에서 가장 굵고, BA를 처리할 경우 여타 공시품종에 비하여 은하콩과 소원콩이 통통한 것으로 나타났다. 하배축과 전체 생체중도 하배축과 hook 직경과 유사한 경향을 보였다. 뿌리에 대한 하배축 길이의 비율은 BA 처리농도가 증가할수록 비례적으로 증가하였으며, 이러한 비율의 변화를 기초로 시중에 판매중인 콩나물을 조사하여 뿌리에 대한 하배축 길이의 비율을 분석한 바 1∼2 ppm의 BA를 처리한 본 시험 결과의 비율과 유사하였다.

A new method for quantitative determination of byakangelicin in Angelicae dahuricae Radix by high performance liquid chromatography was established. A reversed-phase system with a ${\mu}Bondapak$ $C_{18}$ column using THF : dioxane : MeOH : HAc : 5% $H_3PO_4$ : $H_2O$=72.5 : 62.5 : 25 : 10 : 1 : 329 as a mobile phase was developed. Byakangelicin together with ter-O-byakangelicin and oxypeucedanin methanolate, and isooxypeucedanin as an internal reference were detected at 350 nm and the analysis was successfully carried out within 30 min.
