Floral morphology of Magnoliaceae and Illiciaceae in Korea is investigated. Magnoliaceae has long and elongate floral axis where numerous stamens and pistils are pistils are spirally arranged, whereas Illiciaceae has short floral axis and pistils are arranged in a single whorl on the axis. The stamens are basically similar in both families; winged and broad filament, prominant connective, long sporangium, and no clear limitation between fertile and sterile parts, which are primitive characters in stamen. The ovaries are the conduplicate type, in both, with decurrent stigma, stigmatic surface confined to stylar position, and no distinct style. Magnoliaceae has one locule and two ovules, whereas Illiciaceae has one locule and one ovule. The ovule is anatropous or hemianatropus, and has bitegmic integument and crassinucellate nucellus.

The objectives of this study were to identify the period of initiation of floral primordia in black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) and subsequent development of floral buds until following spring. Four mature trees of black locust located in Suwon, Korea were selected. Bud samples were collected from the current-year shoots, starting from mid June to July every week, from August to October and from February to April every month. The buds were fixed in FAA solution, dehydrated, and imbedded in paraffin for microscopic observation. Buds collected on June 16, and 23, 1997, contained primitive primordia that might be interpreted as early floral primordia. By June 30, a bud showed a positive indication of inflorescence primordium with a well-formed shoot apex. All the inflorescence primordia observed throughout the collection periods were always associated with unique hairy appendages around the primordium and enclosed within a sclerenchymatous chamber. By July 7 and 15, a floral apex had early bud scales. By July 22, primitive inflorescence developed into visible arrangement of individual floral primordial By July 29, the inflorescence developed into whirl arrangement of individual floral primordia in a transverse section, but showed little further development until October 15. The inflorescence primordia seemed to over-winter at this stage. Buds collected from February 15 and March 24 the following year also showed no further development of inflorescence primordia. By April 7 the inflorescence started to show further development with elongated axis. At this time individual flowers were easily recognized.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of various period of nursery on the growth, yield and labor saving of work by truncation on floral axis of Alisma plantago in the southern coastal areas of Korea. The growth characteristics such as p]ant height, number of leaves were more increased at 20 days of nursery period plot them that of nursery periods. The dried-root yield was highest then but the floral axis was lowest at the 20 days of nursery period plot then that of other nursery periods. Therefore optimum period on nursery of Alisma plantago was 20days of nursery period in southern areas of Korea.

In order to obtain basic information for breeding varieties of Alisma plantago which is suitable for the southern part of Korea, nine local varieties were grown and yield components of plant were observed from Jun. 1999 to Dec. 1999 at farm field of Chonnam Sunchon Korea. Alisma plantago cv. Sunwol showed higher dry root yield than the other varieties used in the experiment. It showed relatively higher length of plant height and lower numbers of floral axis. Therefore, it was concluded that Sunwol was the most suitable variety with high yield and low floral axis at the southern part of Korea. The heritabilities of all observed characters were estimated to be large. Dry root yield was shown highly significant positive correlations with plant height and numbers of leaves. Dry root yield, plant height and numbers of leaves were shown negative correlation with number of floral axis and nursery leaves.

Objectives : This study was carried out to know the necessity of freezing and boiling process of Gastrodiae Rhizoma. Also we need to evaluate Gastrodia elata floral axis as a product ingridients. Methods : Frozen Gastrodiae Rhizoma (GF1, GF2) and Gastrodia elata floral axis (GFA) were prepared. They were divided into samples (GF1 : frozen at the freezer, GF2; frozen and boiled for 10 hours, GFA; dried at 7 $0^{\circ}C$ for 120 hours) for experiment. They were extracted using water, freeze dried and powdered. And we analyzed proximate compositions, free sugars, gastrodin, p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol and p-hydroxybenzyl aldehyde content, phenolic and flavonoid, electron donating ability and nitrate scavenging activity and antioxidant activity. Results : In moisture, crude ash, fructose, glucose, sucrose, p-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol GF2 showed lower level than GF1. But GF2 showed higher content than GF1, in crude fat (0.8% > 0.19%), gastrodin ($8.84{\pm}0.58%$ > $4.18{\pm}0.73%$), and p-hydroxybenzyl aldehyde ($2.45{\pm}0.26%$ > $2.07{\pm}0.16%$) content, phenolic ($9.98{\pm}0.07%$ > $3.35{\pm}0.03%$) and flavonoid ($3.01{\pm}0.06%$ > $1.09{\pm}0.04%$) content, electro donating ability ($15.21{\pm}6.51%$ > $10.44{\pm}4.78%$), nitrate scavening activity ($20.43{\pm}5.30%$ > $13.62{\pm}5.78%$). GFA has a relatively lower key indicators component, but has a enough impact on antioxidant effect in phenolic ($11.85{\pm}0.08%$) and flavonoid content ($1.45{\pm}0.03%$), electron donating ability ($18.58{\pm}9.06%$) and nitrate scavenging activity ($19.41{\pm}9.90%$). Conclusions : In the view of proximate compositions, free sugars, functional component and antioxidant activity, the results indicated that boiling process is effective for the frozen Gastrodiae Rhizoma. And Gastrodia elata floral axis has a significantly functional components and antioxidant activity.

This experiment was carried out to obtain the basic information for the improving of leaf quality by topping time and depth in flue-cured tobacco. Development of palisade parenchyma and spongy parenchyma were in order of button stage＆gt;early flower stage＆gt;late flower stage by topping time, and were in order of 4th leaf topping from floral axis＆gt;2nd leaf topping from floral axis＆gt;floral axis by topping depth. When 2nd leaf from floral axis were topped at late flower stage in A grade field and at early flower stage in B grade field, total sugar to nicotine ratio ralating to organoleptic characteristics were desirable as 9.0 and 9.7, and petroleum ether extract contents relating flavor of flue-cured tobacco were high as 9.9% and 8.4%, respectively. In ecological tissue, percentage of direct effect on quality were 43.2% in palisade parenchyma. 26.5% in spongy parechyma. 17.7% in tissue ratio, 6.7% in leaf thickness, 3.1% in intercellular space, 2.8% in leaf type and in chemical components, were 40.6% in nicotine. 35.7% in T-sugar/nicotine, 10.0% in total sugar, 7.0% in T-nitrogen/nicotine, 4.6% in total nitrogen, 2.1% in petroleum ether extract. The optimum topping depth were desirable at topping under second leaf from floral axis at late flower stage in A grade field and at early flower stage in B grade field for good leaf quality.

This experiment was conducted to find out the optimum fertilization level and topping depth for flue-cured tobacco in the fields which chinese cabbage and red-pepper were cultivated. The fertilization level were 0, 25, 50, 75kg per l0a as tobacco compound fertilizer and the topping depth were topping floral axis, topping under the second leaf frp, axos and the fourth leaf from floral axis. In order to product good quality tobacco leaves in the fields which vegetables were cultivated, the optimum amount of tobacco compound fertilizer was recommended 50-75kg per l0a for the field of the chinese cabbage cultivated. and 75kg per l0a for the field of the red-pepper cultivated. The optimum topping depth was desirable at topping under second leaf from floral axis for good leaf quality in chinese cabbage and red-pepper cultured field.
