시호 종자의 발아율을 증가시키기 위한 방법과 종자의 특징을 연구하기 위하여 본 실험을 수행하였다. 시호의 발아에 유리한 온도는 2$0^{\circ}C$이며, 호르몬 처리나 기타 물리화학적 처리에 의해 발아율은 크게 증가되지 못했는데, 15$^{\circ}C$에서 발아시킬 경우 50~200 ppm의 GA$_3$을 처리했을 때 발아율이 2배 이상 증가하였다. 또한 같은 온도에서 $10^{-2}$ ~$10^{-3}$M의 KNO$_3$을 처리한 경우에도 발아율은 3배 이상 증가하였다. 그러나 2$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 강력한 저해 효과를 나타내었다. 시호의 leachate를 상추의 종자에 처리했을 경우 발아율의 변화가 거의 없었으므로 시호의 종자에는 발아저해제가 거의 없는 것으로 생각된다. 해부현미경과 주사전자현미경으로 종자의 배와 주공을 관찰한 결과 배가 있는 것과 없는 것의 비율이 거의 50/50이며 주공 자체에는 문제가 없으므로 시호의 종자 발아율이 낮은 것은 근본적으로 배가 결여된 종자가 많기 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

Iris dichotoma Pall. found on Daechung Island in Korea has been designated as an endangered species. To aid in conservation efforts of this species, this study investigated its germination characteristics and seed dormancy type. Four sets of seeds were incubated at different temperatures (4/1℃, 15/6℃, 20/10℃, and 25/15℃). One set of seeds was cold stratified (4 weeks at 4/1℃). The final germination rate and mean germination time showed that the optimal germination temperature was 25/15℃. Final germination rates were ~70%, showing no significant difference among temperature treatments. However, mean germination time were significantly different among all temperature treatments except for 4/1℃. Mean germination time for seeds with temperature treatments of 15/6℃, 20/10℃, and 25/15℃ were 3.2, 2.1, and 1.5 weeks, respectively. At 25/15℃, the mean germination time was half of that at 15/6℃. Seeds of I. dichotoma had fully developed embryos at the time of dispersal. No additional growth of the embryo was observed. Cold stratification did not affect the final germination rate or the mean germination time. This study shows that seeds of I. dichotoma have no physiological or morphological dormancy, unlike other members of the Iris genus known to have seed dormancy that needs a relatively high incubation temperature (≥25/15℃) for mass propagation to occur. These results will be useful for understanding ecophysiological mechanisms related to the species' habitat. They are also useful for mass propagation of I. dichotoma for the purpose of conserving this endangered species.

우리나라 가문비나무 천연집단의 구과, 종자 및 발아특성에 대한 집단간 및 집단내 개체간 변이를 조사하였다. 지리산과 덕유산 집단의 25개 개체목에서 구과를 채취하여 13가지 구과 및 종자특성과 3가지 발아특성에 대하여 분석하였다. 분산분석 결과 종자의 폭 및 무게, 종자날개지수 및 평균발아일수 특성을 제외한 9개 형질들에서 집단간 및 집단내 개체간에 유의적인 차이가 인정되었다. 변이계수 값은 구과와 종자의 무게, 충실율, TTC, 발아율 및 발아속도 형질들에서 29.7%~57.1% 범위의 높은 값을 보였으며, 나머지 형질들에서는 10% 내외의 비교적 변이가 작은 것으로 나타났다. 대체적으로 형태적 특성은 지리산집단의 경우 구과 및 종자날개가 작으며 긴 경향을 보인반면 덕유산 집단이 종자가 크고 긴 형태를 나타냈다. 종자충실율과 TTC 활력은 지리산 집단이 덕유산 집단에 비해 각각 1.79배, 1.87배 정도 우수한 집단간 차이를 나타냈다. 가문비나무의 종자발아에 미치는 온도조건의 영향을 보면 발아적온은 $20^{\circ}C$였으며, 이때의 평균발아일수는 7.5일, 발아속도는 2.9개/일로 나타났다. 지리산 집단의 경우 평균발아율이 40.7%, 발아속도가 0.90개/일로서 덕유산 집단(17.7%, 0.37개/일)보다 발아특성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 구과, 종자 및 발아특성에 대한 상관분석 결과 국내 가문비나무 천연집단은 종자활력이 한정된 분포에 따른 근친교배 및 특정 개체의 편중개화 현상에 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 추정되어 소멸을 초래할 가능성이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다.

This study was carried out to compare the characteristics of seed germination and the first stage of growth in Cynanchum wilfordii (Maxim.) by different light conditions such ass fluorescent light, dark and light emitting diode (LED). There was not much difference from the germination rate of C. wilfordii (Maxim.) in different light conditions for 10 days. The highest of germination rate occurred over 91.11 percentage by LED red condition at $26^{\circ}C$. Also mean germination velocity and promptness index were represented the highest results of 2.3 ea/day and 52.67 under red light, respectively. But mean germination time under both LED red and blue light was represented low data that it takes over three days for germinating of seed. Even though handling both LED red and blue lights, the germination uniformity was not constant. These results may help our understanding of variations in germination characteristics for C. wilfordii (Maxim.) seeds treated under different light conditions.

This study was carried out to improve rehabilitation effect by hydro-seeding methods on denuded slopes. Lespedeza cyrtobotrya, Indigofera pseudotinctoria, Arudinella hirta, Poa pratensis, and Lolium perenne were used in this study. The results of the germination and growth characteristics by seed coating, slope control and soil mulching treatments are summarized here. Seed coating of those plants had an effect on germination ratio, germination force, $LD_{50}$, and seedling growth of stem, leaf and root. The seed coating effect was highest for I. pseudotinctoria while the seedling growth was best for L. cyrtobotrya. Vermiculite+Talcum was the best coating material for germination and seedling growth of the plants. As the slopes were steeper, germination ratio was lower and seedling growth of stem and root decreased. Lots of seeds and soils were swept away when the slope was steep. Soil mulching was effective for germination, seedling growth of stem and root, and soil stabilization. It was more effective when the slope was steeper. Coir net was the most effective soil mulching material n this study.

To study the relationship between the germination response and geographical distribution, the seeds of Rumex acetocella were collected from nine sites (Taegwallyong, Alps lodge, Kans'ong, Sokch'o, Chumunjin, Suwon, Taechon, Sukgok, Mokpo) of different latitudes and altitudes. The populations of Rumex acetocella were subdivided into four groups based on the characteristics of the seed germination. The first group of Rumex acetocella (Taegwallyong, Alps lodge) germinated rapidly in early spring, the second group (Suwon, Teachon) in late summer through early autumn, and the third group(Sukgok, Mokpo) slowly in late autuman with various conditions. The thermal time values needed for the germination rate of 10% to 60% for these three groups indicated that the germination rate was low at the lower latitude, while it was increased as the latitude elevated. The population of the fouth group (Kansong, Sokcho, Chumunjin) showed the narrow optimum temperature range of germination response and the highest thermal time value to germinate 10% to 30% of seeds. The seeds in the high latitude region with relatively mild winter germinated synchronously in early autumn. These different germination responses of Rumex acetocella to geographic variations were thought to be an ecological strategy to survive in different environmental conditions.
