Drought is one of the key limiting factors that adversely affects the growth and productivity of crop plants. For the enhancement of drought tolerance in crop plants, the identification of basic mechanisms of a plant to drought stress is necessary. In this study, we compared physiological and biochemical responses of five local Arundenilla hirta ecotypes to drought stress. These ecotypes were previously collected from various parts of Korean peninsula, including Youngduk, Gunsan, Jangsoo, Jinju-1 and Yecheon. A. hirta plants were exposed to drought stress for 14 and 17 days respectively, followed by re-watering for 3 days. The results showed that the lipid peroxidation (MDA), hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$), DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity, and proline level were significantly increased while the chlorophyll content was decreased by drought stress in A. hirta leaves. The highest proline content and DPPH scavenging activity were shown in Ecotype of Youngduk with least MDA and $H_2O_2$ levels while the highest MDA and $H_2O_2$ contents, and least proline and DPPH levels were shown in Gunsan, respectvely. These results indicate that the Youngduk is the most tolerant and Gunsan is the most sensitive ecotype among the five different collections. Together, these results provide a new insight of overall physiological responses of A. hirta to drought stress.

Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is an important cool season forage plant that is not well suited to extreme heat, salts, or heavy metals. To develop transgenic tall fescue plants with enhanced tolerance to abiotic stress, we introduced an alfalfa Hsp23 gene expression vector construct through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Integration and expression of the transgene were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction, northern blot, and western blot analyses. Under normal growth conditions, there was no significant difference in the growth of the transgenic plants and the non-transgenic controls. However, when exposed to various stresses such as salt or arsenic, transgenic plants showed a significantly lower accumulation of hydrogen peroxide and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances than control plants. The reduced accumulation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances indicates that the transgenic plants possessed a more efficient reactive oxygen species-scavenging system. We speculate that the high levels of MsHsp23 proteins in the transgenic plants protect leaves from oxidative damage through chaperon and antioxidant activities. These results suggest that MsHsp23 confers abiotic stress tolerance in transgenic tall fescue and may be useful in developing stress tolerance in other crops.

A simple conservation technique baled silage making of selected froage materials was discussed in Suwon and in Muan county during 1991 - 1992. Eleven species of forage crops and pasture grasses(maize. sorghum, pearl millet, barnyardgrass, rye, barley, spring oat, Italian ryegrass, orchardgrass, alfalfa and grass-legume pasture mixtures) were harvested at different growth stage from young plant to maturity and baled in a self constructed square baling chamber, and wrapped in a 0.05mm thick polyethylene plastic film. Each bales measured by 90cm long, 60cm wide and 50cm height and weighted between 15~20kg in dry matter basis. physio-molphologcal characteristics of the plants, leaf weight ratio(LWR), leaf area ratio(LAR), stalk ratio (SR), stalk hardness(SH) and other growth parameters, were analysed and were used as a parameter to evaluate the suitability of materials for baling. Italian ryegrass including orchardgrass, alfalfa and pasture mixtures produced high quality baled silage. Silage quality point(F1ieg-point) of Italian ryegrass was improved from 63 point in crushed custom silage to 75 piont in baled silage. Meterial of grass-legume pasture mixtures showed 55 point in crushed silage and 67 point in baled silage. Fodder rye, barley, spring oat and barnyardgrass were also evaluated as a good materials for baled silage making. On the other hand, meize including sorghum and peral millet were evaluated as a not suitable materals for baling due to its high value of SR and SH. Quality of maize was excellent with 88 point in clushed silage and medium with 47 point in baled silage making.

The objective of this study is to obtain the basic data for investigating the effects of organic reserves on winter survival or regrowth yield. Forage rape (Brassica napus L.) was sown by three seeding densities of 5, 15 and 25cm interval among plants on Sep. 1, 1994. Field-grown plants were sampled on the before wintering (Dec. 4) and on the wintering period (Jan. 16) to analyze the nitrogen and non-structural cahohydrate reserves. The rate of winter survival and regrowth yield were also measured in the spring of next year. The dry matter yields from the plots of 5, 15 and 25cm seeding interval were 1,270, 1.01 9 and 1,062 kg/lOa respectively, on the before wintering. The similar pattern wa5 observed in the crude protein yields affected by seeding density. On the before wintering, both of nitrogen and starch contents per plant significantly increased as the seeding density was lowered. Starch content was relatively higher than that of nitrogen in all plots. On the wintering period, the contents of nitrogen reserves were 6.5, 41.2 and 121.7 mglplant, those of starch reserves were 1.0, 5.4 and 185.1 mg/plant, respectively, in the plots of 5, 15 and 25cm seeding interval. Nitrogen reserves on the wintering period increased while starch reserves highly decreased in all plots comparing to the before wintering. 'lhe rates of winter survival were 10.2, 20.6 and 37.1%, and regrowth yields were 76, 96 and 178 kgD.M/ IOa, respectively, in the plots of 5, 15 and 25cm seeding interval. These results cleariy showed that seeding density have a close influence on the level of nitrogen and non-structurd cahohydrate reserves, and that the rate of winter survival and regrowth yield were controlled by reserves level on the wintering period.

Forages are the most important feed resource for ruminants worldwide, whether fed as pastures, forage crops or conserved hay, silage or haylage. There is large variability in the quality of forages so measurement and prediction of feeding value and nutritive value are essential for high levels of production. Within a commercial animal production system, methods of prediction must be inexpensive and rapid. At least 50% of the variation in feeding value of forages is due to variation in voluntary feed intake. Identification of the factors that constrain voluntary feed intake allows these differences to be managed and exploited in forage selection. Constraints to intake have been predicted using combinations of metabolic and physical factors within the animal while simple measurements such as the energy required to shear the plant material are related to constraints to intake with some plant material. Animals respond to both pre- and post-ingestive feedback signals from forages. Pre-ingestive signals may play a role in intake with signals including taste, odour and texture together with learned aversions to nutrients or toxins (post-ingestive feedback signals). The challenge to forage evaluation is identification of the factors which are most important contributors to these feedback signals. Empirical models incorporating chemical composition are also widely used. The models tend to be useful within the ranges of the datasets used in their development but none can claim to have universal application. Mechanistic models are becoming increasingly complex and sophisticated and incorporate both feed characteristics and use of biochemical pathways within the animal. Improvement in utilisation through the deliberate selection of pasture plants for high feeding value appears to have potential and has been poorly exploited. Use of Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy is a simple method that offers significant potential for the preliminary screening of plants with genetic differences in feeding value. Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy will only be as reliable as the calibration sets from which the equations are generated.

초지에 있어서 칼리(K)의 동태 및 반구동물의 마마그네슘(Mg) 출납에 관한 연구의 한 부분으로서, 목초중 칼리 및 마그네슘 함량의 수절에 따른 변화를 알아보기 위한 시험을 봄부터 가을(4월-11월)의 기간동안 방목지와 방목지내 채초이초지(이하 채초지)에서 실시했다. 년간 2회에 걸쳐 가축의 방목을 행한 방목지에서 월별로 시료를 취한 뒤 초종별로 나누지 않고서 전 직물체(목초 및 야초)의 칼리와 마그네슘함량을 조사했으며(시험 1), 채초지에서는 방목지보다 많은 양의 칼리 사료를 사용하여 년간 5회에 걸쳐서 시험구의 실물체를 모두 예취한 후 구성초종별로 나누어서 초종별 우점도 및 칼리와 마그네슘함량을 조사했는데(시험 2), 얻어진결과는 다음과 같다. 1.오차드그라스(Dactylis glomerata L.) 가 우점된 방초지(오차드그라스 방목시)에서의 직물체중 칼리 함량은 봄에 가장 높았으며, 칼리함량의 계절별화(1.5-5.8%)도 돌페스큐(Festuca arundinacea S촉듀.) 방목지에서의 계절변화(3.0-3.8%)보다 뚜렷했다. 2. 오차드그라스 방목지에서의 식물체중마그네슘 함량은 4월-7월에는 건물 1g당 2.0mg보다 낮았으나 그 이후 2.0mg보다 높아졌으며 시험기간중 함량변화의 범위는 1.5-3.1mg이었다. 톨페스큐 방목지에서의 함량의 계절변화는 오차드그라스에서와 비슷하여 봄에 가장 낮고 차츰 높아졌으나 그 범용는 2.0-3.8mg으로 오차드그라스 방목지보다 높은 값을 나타냈다.(시험 1). 3. 오차드그라스 채초시에서는 파종된 목장종인 오차드그라스가 7월까지 우점하였으나 이름 (7월)부터는 야초가 많이 나타나서 가을(10월)에는 바랭이 독 야초(Digitaria adscendens H.) 및 개피(Echi-nochloa crus-galli (L.) B.)가 우점초종으로되었다. 4. 오차드그라스의 칼리함량은 건물량 기준으로 3.9-5.9%이었으며 계절별로는 봄(5월)과 가을(10월)에 높았다. 돌페스큐는 3.8-4.8%, 와이트클로버(Trifolium repen L.)는 3.6-5.0%이었으며 이탈리안 라이그라스(Lolium multiflorum Lam.)는 2.7-3.5% 이었다. 5. 목초중 마그네슘함량은 계절별로는 봄철에 가장 낮고 여름에 높은 경향이었으며, 초종별로는 화이트 클로버가 건물 1g당 2.9-3.7mg로 높았고 돌페스큐가 2.0-3.3mg 오차드그라스가 1.6-2.8mg이었으며 이탈리안 라이그라스는 1.3-1.9mg으로 가장 낮았다. 6. 야초중 칼리함량의 수절변화는 건물량 기준으로 1.7-6.3%의 범위였으며 마그네슘함량의 변화는 건물 1g당 1.6-10.1mg의 범위였다. 바랭이독 야초와 개피중 칼리함량은 가을 (10월, 11월)에 목초보다 낮아 1.7-3.9%의 범위였으나 마그네슘함량은 목초보다 높아 3.2-10.1mg의 범위였다(시험 2) 이상의 결과로부터 목초의 칼리함량은 생육단계가 낮을 때 놓았으며, 수절별로는 봄과 가을에 높았다. 목초의 마그네슘함량은 봄철에 낮아 이 시기에 무기물의 불균형이나 그라스테타니의 발생 가능성이 있는 것으로 생각되어졌으며, 시험에 공시된 초종중에서는 높은 칼리함량 또는 낮은 마그네슘함량을 갖고 있는 오차드그라스와 이탈리안 라이그라스가 돌페슈큐보다 그 발생 기능성이 높은 것으로 생각되어졌다; 한편 초지에서 가을에 목초보다 우점도가 높은 바랭이독 야초 및 개피는 칼리함량이 낮고 마그네슘함량이 높았으므로, 그 시기에 발생되는 무기물 불균형을 야기시킬 수 있는 것으로 생각되어졌다.

We have achieved efficient transformation system for forage-type tall fescue plants by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Mature seed-derived embryogenic calli were infected and co-cultivated with each of three A. tumefaciens strains, all of which harbored a standard binary vector pIG121Hm encoding the neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPTII), hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT) and intron-containing $\beta$-glucuronidase (intron-GUS) genes in the T-DNA region. Transformation efficiency was influenced by the A. tumefaciens strain, addition of the phenolic compound acetosyringone and duration of vacuum treatment. Of the three A. tumefaciens strains tested, EHA101/pIG121Hm was found to be most effective followed by GV3101/pIG121Hm and LBA4404/pIG121Hm for transient GUS expression after 3 days co-cultivation. Inclusion of 100 $\mu$M acetosyringone in both the inoculation and co-cultivation media lead to an improvement in transient GUS expression observed in targeted calli. Vacuum treatment during infection of calli with A. tumefaciens strains increased transformation efficiency. The highest stable transformation efficiency of transgenic plants was obtained when mature seed-derived calli infected with A. tumefaciens EHA101/pIG121Hm in the presence of 100 $\mu$M acetosyringone and vacuum treatment for 30 min. Southern blot analysis indicated integration of the transgene into the genome of tall fescue. The transformation system developed in this study would be useful for Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of tall fescue plants with genes of agronomic importance.

Tall fescue(Festuca amndinacea Schreb.) is a productive pasture grass that is widely adapted to the soil and climate of Korea. It is regarded, however, as relatively low in palatability and nutritive value. On the other hand, Italian ryegrass(lo1ium rnultz$om Lam.) is highly nutritious and palatable, but is essentially weak in cold tolerance. Numerous investigators have succeeded in producing hybrids between Lolium spp. and Festuca spp. but no improved varieties have resulted. Therefore, intergeneric hybridization of Italian ryegrass with tall fescue is employed in 1984 to improve the adaptive and cold resistance quality of Italian ryegrass. In the mean time, F1-hybrid plants obtained by crossing Italian ryegrass x tall fescue were observed in open field. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Leaf-size and silica cell hair were intermediate between the types of parents but the shape of auricle tended to show Italian ryegrass and auricle-cilia to show tall fescue. 2. Roots of $F_1$-hybrid plants were mainly distributed at top soil and did not produced florescence material. 3. Head type of hybrids was intermediate between the types of parents but ray length was somewhat less than the length of tall fescue ray. Typical Italian ryegrass or tall fescue-like phenotypes were not observed. 4. Anthers of $F_1$-hybrid plants were formed but pollen were not formed. Even though pollen were formed, they were all empty. 5. Hybrid plants were more winterhardy and summer persistency than Italian ryegrass. They showed a equivalent growth to Italian ryegrass in spring and to tall fescue in summer. 6. Chromosome of $F_1$-hybrids was allopolyploid(2n=4~=28) and all $F_1$-hybrid plants were sterile.
