To determine the damages to waxy corn caused by low temperature weather, we investigated the relationship between the temperature and duration of low temperature treatment and the changes in growth characteristics during the recovery period after the treatments in different growth periods. Growth inhibition started in the low temperature group treated at temperatures below 5℃ for three days. The inhibition ratio (IR) was more than 22% or more in all sample groups. As the treatment duration increased and the Temperature decreased, the growth was more greatly inhibited than that in the control. The IR was the highest at 27% or more in the 2nd leaf stage group treated at below 5℃ for 5 days. The IR was in the order of 2nd leaf stage > 1st leaf stage > coleoptile. The IR during recovery was the highest in the 2nd leaf stage group treated at -3℃ degree for 7 days, nd the values were 82% and 98% for NDVI and Fv/Fm, respectively. Especially, all groups treated at -3℃ showed either no changes or decreases in the growth characteristics. As a result, growth inhibition increased as the temperature decreased, and as the duration of the low temperature increased. The degree of damage was in the order of 2nd leaf stage > 1st leaf stage > coleoptile. All early seedlings stopped growing and withered when exposed to temperatures at or below -3℃ for 3 days or more.

The effects of varying concentrations and durations of ethalfluralin (N-ethyl-N-(2-methyl-2-propenyl)-2, 6-dinitro-4-(trifluoromethyl) bezenmine) treated on oat(Avena sativa L.) cell division, cell enlargement, protein synthesis and histology were studied. After 6hr treatment, all concentrations(1${\times}$10^{-6}M to $1{\times}10^{-3}$) of ethalfluralin arrested completely metaphase in the cell division study. The oat coleoptile inhibition of straight-growth test were used to determine the influence of ethalfluralin on coleoptile growth. A range of all concentrations($1{\times}10^{-8}$M to $1{\times}10^{-3}$M) treatment did affect cell enlagement significantly. The $1{\times}10^{-6}$M to $1{\times}10^{-3}$ M concentrations reduced approximately over 50% cell enlargement. Protein incorporation study showed that all concentrations($1{\times}10^{-6}$M to $1{\times}10^{-3}$M) were not affected in protein synthesis. To investigate histological effects, the oats were treated for 24hr with $1{\times}10^{-7}$M. The longitudinal section cells, in the treated oat root tips were appeared to be enlarged and also showed lacking cytoplasm, multinucleate or abnormal cells compare with untreated roots.

The effect of different cultural patterns on the growth and herbicidal response of rice(Oryza sativa L.) and barnyardgrass(Echinochloa crus-galli var. oryzicola) was studied tinder direct-seeded rice and early rice seedling conditions. In dry-seeded rice condition, the growth of rice and barnyardgrass was the greatest in 3cm-seeding depth and 40% soil moisture, respectively. At 10 days after herbicide application, plant height of rice was severely inhibited in 1cm-seeding depth and 50% soil moisture, and the degree of inhibition was severer at application of pendi+molinate EC as compared to that of butachlor EC. On the other hand, plant heigth of barnyardgrass by treatment of herbicides was severely reduced regardless of seeding depth and soil moisture. The lengths of barnyardgrass mesocotyl and rice coleoptile were increased with increasing seeding depth and were severely inhibited by applied herbicides in 1cm-seeding depth under dry-seeded rice condition. The dry weight of rice at different leaching times after herbicides application showed slightly decreasing trend as the leaching time was delayed, but the growth of barnyardgrass was very severely inhibited regardless of the leaching time. In addition, the phytotoxicity of rice showed decreasing trend with the increase in transplanting depth and delay of application time under early rice seedling condition.

Performance of 3 indica ${\times}$ japonica(Chilseungbyeo, Samgangbyeo, and Gayabyeo), 7 japonica(Yeongsanbyeo, Yeongdeugbyeo, Hwajinbyeo, Palgongbyeo, Seumjinbyeo, Tamjinbyeo, and Milyang 95), and 2 indica(Tebonnet and Lemont) rice varieties was tested at 1, 3, 5, and 7cm seeding depths in a growth chamber and field. In the growth chamber the number of days from seeding to seedling emergence increased as seeding depth increased, while percent germination and emergence and emergence / germination ratio decreased. However, in the field seedling emergence at 1em seeding depth delayed slightly compared to 3cm probably due to lack of soil moisture. The number of seedlings and maximum tillers at 1, 3, and 5cm seeding depths was similar, but it was higher compared to 7cm seeding depth. Yield and yield components were similar among the seeding depths when all the varieties averaged although 1,000-grain weight was slightly higher at 7cm deeding depth compared to others. At 1cm seeding depth the length of mesocotyl of all varieties was similar and ranged 0.1-0.2cm and that of coleptile ranged 0.8-1.1cm. As seeding depth increased up to 7cm Tebonnet which showed the highest percent emergence emerged by elongation of both mesocotyl and coleoptile, while the other varieties emerged largely by elongation of coleoptile.

Successful germination and establishment of seedlings in flooded paddy are critical in direct seeding cultivation of rice. In this study, we examined the relationship between antioxidant enzymes and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activities and coleoptile elongation under submergence of deep water with two rice cultivars, Iksan429 and Woodrose, which show characteristic coleoptile elongation under hypoxic condition. The growth of shoot under submerged in water was faster than the root. The survival duration was longer in Iksan429 than in Woodrose under submerged in water. The alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activities were significantly increased under hypoxia compared to in aerated condition. The ADH activity was increased in Iksan429 more than in Woodrose under hypoxia. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in Iksan429 was gradually increased up to 5 days after treatment (DAT) then decreased slowly till 14 DAT under water, whereas in Woodrose it was dramatically decreased after 5 DAT. The peroxidase (POX) activity in Iksan429 was significantly increased until 7 DAT under hypoxia, whereas it was not significantly different in Woodrose during hypoxic treatment. However, in non-treated condition, POX activity in Woodrose was increased more than Iksan429. The changes of catalase (CAT) activities showed no differences in both cultivars. We suggest that the overexpression of ADH, SOD and POX activities is responsible for the hypoxic tolerance and plays an important role in the surviving of rice seedling.

Effects of butachlor [N-(butoxymethyl)-2-chloro-2', 6'-diethyl acetanilide] and 1,8-naphthalic anhydride (NA) on post-germination growth, mesocotyl and root anatomy and root-cell membrane permeability of rice (Orvza saliva L.) were investigated. Lengths of mesocotyl and radicle were markedly decreased as the application rates of butachlor increased from 0.1 to 100 ppmW and NA from 1 to 100 ppmW, but there was no effect on coleoptile elongation. Application of butachlor-NA resulted in increase in coleoptile elongation, but decrease in mesocotyl elongation. Partial breakdown of cortical cells in root and mesocotyl was caused by either trutachlor or NA treatments, resulting in increase in intercellular air space. Further increase in the intercellular air space of root and mesocotyl was obtained when butachlor was applied in combination with NA. Increase in root-cell membrane permeability occurred when either butachlor or NA was applied. However, butachlor-NA treatments resulted in reduction in the permeability.

The objective of this paper was to examine the oxygen requriement of rice seeds when the seeds were germinating under the water. The trial was carried out in the laboratory with the different water temperature (25$^{\circ}C$, 17$^{\circ}C$) in the Crop Experiment Station, Suwon. The tested varieties were 6 in japonica and 6 in indica (I) ${\times}$ japonica (J). In the 25$^{\circ}C$ water temperature rice seeds absorbed more dissolved oxygen (DO) and germinating duration was shorter than in the 17$^{\circ}C$ water temperature. DO uptake of japonica rice seeds was faster than that of indica ${\times}$ japonica rice seeds, and the germinating ratio of japonica rice seeds was higher than that of I${\times}$J rice seeds in the water. DO requirements of germinating rice seeds in the water were average 82.4 ${\mu}$g per seed up to coleoptile appearance and average 123.6 ${\mu}$g per seed up to appearance of radicle in the japonica varieties, but I${\times}$J varieties were 96.9 ${\mu}$g and 145.1 ${\mu}$g respectively. Especially when the rice seeds were germinated in the water, length of coleoptile and radicle of japonica rice were significantly longer than those of I${\times}$J rice varieties.

Germination is a process which characterized with nescient synthesis of genes. Among the genes synthesized during the germination of wheat embryos, germin genes, proteins and their enzymatic activity were defined. Germin is a water soluble homopentameric glycoprotein which is remarkable resistant to degradation by a broad range of proteases including pepsin. Germin proteins found to have strong oxalate oxidase activity which produces hydrogen peroxide by degrading oxalic acid. The current study, aimed to localize the germin genes, proteins and enzymatic activities in developing coleoptiles which is a rapidly growing protective tissue of leaf primordium and shoot apex. Non-radioactively abeled germin riboprobes were employed to localize germin mRNAs in situ. FITC (Fluorescein isothiocyanate) and alkaline phosphatase linked anti-germin antibodies were used to localize germin proteins under the fluorescence and light microscopy and finally germin enzymatic activity was localized by using appropriate enzyme assay. The results revealed that in coleoptiles germin genes, proteins and their enzymatic activity were predominantly associated with the cells of epidermis and vascular bundle sheath cells.

Wheat coleoptile sections were treated with either $1.5{\times}10^{-5}M$ ABA or $5×10^{-5}M$ IAA in vitro, the results may be summarized as follows, 1. The treatmert of IAA decreased the level of high molecular weight RNA F2 and F3 but that with ABA increased the F4 level. 2. IAA caused an increased activity of G2 isozyme, while ABA suppressed the activity of G3 isozyme. 3. The results may suggest that there may exist common effects of IAA and ABA on RNA and RNase. 4. The latent RNase activity caused by SH blocking reagent (p-hydroxymercury benzoate, Pb et al) was not observed.

Investigated were the relationships between plumule elongation characteristics and seedling emergence of 46 varieties including native, improved and red rice varieties of Korea, and varieties from U.S.A., Italy, India, Japan under 1, 3, and 5cm deep sowing with irrigated and non-irrigated condition. Experiments were carried out in paddy field of sandy loam. There was heavy shower of 19.2mm on the next day of seeding and thereafter, clear and dry weather continued during the experiment period. Soil temperature averaged over 30 days after seeding was $16.4^{\circ}C$ at 3cm depth. Soil hardness increased linearly up to 2.5kg /$cm^2$ on the 14th day after seeding, on which date irrigated plot was irrigated through furrow, and up to 4kg / $cm^2$ on the 28th day in non-irrigated plot. Soil hardness dropped near to 0kg /$cm^2$ after irrigation and developed up to 2.5kg /$cm^2$ again by 28 days after seeding. Seedling emergence was higher in irrigated plots than non-irrigated plots at all seeding depths. Korean improved varieties were substantially lower in seedling emergence under non-irrigated condition of 1 cm deep sowing than those under irrigated condition. This poor seedling emergence resulted mainly from delayed emergence by exposing them to greater soil strength. Percent seedling emergence under irrigated and non-irrigated condition showed signifi-cant correlations at 3 and 5 cm deep sowing. Korean improved varieties belonged to the group of poor seedling emergence, and I taliconaverneco, Chinsura Boro and Weld Pally to best group under both irrigation conditions at 3 and 5cm deep sowing. Seedling emergence showed highly signifi-cant positive correlation with the plumule length of mesocotyl ＋ 1st internode ＋ incomplete leaf and of mesocotyl＋coleoptile. Among the characters constituting plumule length, incomplete leaf length showed greatest positive correlation followed by coleoptile and mesocotyl under irrigated condition at 3 and 5 cm deep sowing, and highest correlation with mesocotyllength followed by first internode and incomplete leaf under non-irrigated condition. Days to 50% seedling emergence at 1 cm deep sowing with irrigation showed great varietal variation of 10 to 30 days, and showed high significant negative correlations with percent seedling emergence under both irrigation conditions except for 1 cm deep sowing with irrigation, Days to seedling emergence revealed sig-nificant negative correlations with plumule characters except 2nd internode, showing highest cor-relation with incomplete leaf length.
