We investigated the variations of the flowering response to daylength in Perilla crop (var. frutescens). Seventeen accessions of Perilla crop and one accession of weedy type of var. crispa from China, Korea and Japan were cultivated under three daylength conditions, i.e., short-days, natural daylength and long-days. Most accessions of Perilla crop from China, Korea and Japan were divided into three types, early maturing type, intermediate maturing type and late maturing type by their natural flowering habit. In most of the accessions used, the flowering habit was significantly accelerated by short-day conditions and was delayed by long-day conditions. All the accessions of Perilla crops flowered within 57 days under the 10 hrs light treatment, whereas they did not flower at all even at 170 days after sowing under the 16 hrs light treatment. Thus, this finding suggested that there is a relationship between the types of flowering response to daylength and the geographical distribution which determines the planting season in traditional cultivation practices of Perilla crops. Positive correlation was observed between days to flowering and plant height or internode number in both the short-day and natural daylength conditions. Whereas, correlation was negative between days to flowering and inflorescence length or floret number in natural daylength condition, but it was positive in the short-day condition. Therefore, the daylength condition is considered as the most important environmental factor for flowering habit and morphological characters of Perilla crops. Flowering habit is considered as an important key character for the study of geographical differentiation of Perilla crop in East Asia.

To obtain basic information for characteristics of naked barley cultivars, awn length and weight, kernel weight along spikelet positions of some cultivars bred in Korea were investigated. Awn length and weight of third to fifth spikelet, and kernel weight of second to fourth spikelet from spike tip were not different from each mean value for total of spike. From the spike base, awn of third to fourth spikelet was longest and heaviest, and kernel weight of fifth to sixth spikelet was heaviest. Value for awn length, awn weight, and kernel weight of lateral row florets was lower 13 to 26％, 26 to 41％, and 18 to 25％, respectively than one for those of central row floret. Difference for awn length and weight between central and lateral row in nami type cultivars compared to uzu type cultivars was small. In the ratio of weight/length of awn, awn of uzu type cultivars was thicker than that of nami type cultivars, and awn of central row was thicker than those of lateral rows. Kernel weight was linearly related to awn weight. When one spike was divided into three parts, awn length and weight of low part were not different from those of central part, but were longer and heavier than those of upper part. The order of kernel weight was central$\geq$low>upper part.

Maize (Zea mays L.) pistil cell death and stamen cell arrest are pivotal process on the sex determination, which diverges from bisexual state of floral meristem to unisexual state in staminate or pistillate floret. We investigated the temporal and spatial distribution of cell cycle gene expression during maize sex determination. The positive regulatory genes of cell cycle, cyclin A, cyclin B, cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) and Mad2 were highly expressed in the developing pistil and stamen but the expression was disappeared in the dying pistil and arresting stamens. In contrast, the negative regulatory genes of cell cycle, Wee1 and CDK inhibitor (CKI) were expressed in the arresting stamens in the wild-type ear and tasselseed2 mutant tassel, however, these genes were not detected in dying pistil although the cyclin B gene expression was disappeared. These results suggest that both the pistil cell death and stamen cell arrest process in maize sex determination are involved in cell cycle regulation, but the different expression patterns of negative regulatory cell cycle genes in the arresting stamens and aborting pistils suggest that the two processes may have distinctive modes of action.

Quantitative determination of sulforaphane, S-methylsulfinylbutyl isothiocyanate in 20 cruciferous vegetables of Korean origin was performed. Homogenate of vegetable was extracted with dichloromethane, and the extract, after drying, was subjected to GC/MS analysis, which was based on single ion monitoring (SIM) at m/z 72, 160, 55, 114 and 177. The content of sulforaphane was found to be the highest in the extract of broccoli $(80.2{\sim}617.7\;ppm)$ followed by turnip $(15.4{\sim}23.1\;ppm)$, red cabbage $(9.9{\sim}32.1\;ppm),\;radish\;(5.5{\sim}8.8\;ppm)$ and kale (8 ppm). Among various cultivars of broccoli, broccoli '1243' and broccoli 'Pilgrim' showed higher content of sulforaphane than others. Especially, in the stem of broccoli '1243' and the floret of broccoli 'Pilgrim' the amount of sulforaphane was the highest (>700 ppm). Thus, the content of sulforaphane differed according to the cultivars and the portion of the vegetables.

This study was intended to investigate the capitulum morphology and to evaluate its taxonomic importance within the 23 taxa of Korean Artemisia L. The Korean Artemisia was classified into sterile subg. Dracunculus and fertile subg. Artemisia by the fertility of the disk florets, which is the traditional diagnostic character of subgenera. There are sections in subg. Artemisia: sect. Absinthium with a densely, sparsely hairy receptacle, and sect. Abrotanum and sect. Artemisia with a glabrous receptacle. However, A. fukudo and A. sacrorum belonging to sect. Abrotanum, and A. viridissima belonging to sect. Artemisia were observed to have sparsely hairy receptacles. Therefore, the presence of hair on a receptacle, which is now regarded as a key character distinguishing sections, has to be reevaluated. The whole shape and size of the capitulum, the characteristic of the stigma apex, the hair on the involucral bract, and the shape of the central or peripheral floret are thought to be the most valuable characters to consider in recognizing species.

The embryogenic callus (EC), from which somatic embryos could be induced, was compared with nonembryogenic callus(NE) to study the origin and features of totipotent cell in water dropwort (Oenanthe stolonifera DC). To induce and maintain of EC and the NE, meristematic stem and immature floret were inoculated in MS media supplemented with 1 mg/L 2,4-D, and with 2.5 mg/L NAA and 5mg/L BA, respectively, The EC was not induced from the NE even after subculturing in MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L 2,4-D. Plantlets were not regenerated from the NE in hormone-free medium. In histochemical comparison of the EC with the NE by light microscopy, the EC had smaller cells in size, dense cytoplasm, and more starch granules of cells compared to the NE cells. The cell from the EC, as observed by transmission electron microscopy, had smaller vaculoes, well developed ribosomes, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum, whereas the cells from the NE had larger vacuoles and underdeveloped organelles. In protein pattern from NE, EC and Somatic embryo (SE), as analyzed by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, different proteins specific for tissue were observed: 17 and 28 KD for NE, 50, 52, 57, 66, 68 KD for EC and 20 KD for SE. DNA polymorphism was also observed between EC and NE as analyzed by RAPD (randomly amplified polymorphic DNA) method. The origin of totipotent stem cell and the relationship between irreversible genomic change arose in differentiation and the loss of totipotency in plant were discussed.

A new gerbera variety "Red Line" was released by the National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science (NIHHS) in 2008. A cross was made between "Mirage" with orange and double and "Rose" with red and semi-double in 2005. After investigation of the characteristics for four years (from 2005 to 2008), it was selected specially for the use of cut flower. "Red Line" is a vigorous cultivar with red (RHS R44B), black center and semi-double. The average flower diameter is 12.7 cm, large flower. And inner ray floret and disc diameter are 8.10 cm and 2.80 cm, respectively. It produces a large yield with continuous supply of flowers and has adequate peduncle height. We believe that "Red Line" has a great potential for expanding cultivated area of domestic gerbera cultivars and increasing farmers-income.
