The objective of this study was to demonstrate whether or not the deleterious effects of accelerated aging on seed vigour and viability are alleviated by interaction with gamma irradiation. Seeds of soybean (Glycine max L.) were artificially aged and subsequently irradiated with 4 and 8 Gy of gamma irradiation. Germination rate was negatively affected by accelerated aging and positively by gamma irradiation, with a positive interaction of a 3day-seed aging treatment occurring with 4 Gy, possibly suggesting that 4 Gy of gamma irradiation partially offset the adverse effects of seed aging on germination. However, 5-day aged seeds did not gain any benefits from the gamma irradiation. Electrolyte leakage from the seeds increased with the duration in days aged. Irradiation, however, did not impose any effects on the leakage. Respiration rate of the seed with hypocotyl and primary root was significantly low for the aged seeds, but not for the seeds with both irradiation and aging treatments. Accelerated aging decreased the dry weight of the hypocotyl and primary root of the seeds without any measurable effects of irradiation. $\alpha$-Amylase activity decreased with seed aging and positively responded to gamma irradiation. The data is discussed with regard to the possible roles of gamma irradiation for improving the seed vigour and viability of aged seeds.

묵은 파와 시금치 종자에 저선량 ${\gamma}$선을 조사하여 종자 발아율과 발아종자의 생리활성 변화를 관찰하였다. 시금치 종자의 발아율은 대조구에 비해 저선량 조사구에서 증가하는 경향을 보였고 특히 2 Gy와 1 Gy에서 효과적이였으나 파종자에서는 1 Gy 조사구만이 대조구에 비해 높은 발아율을 보였다. 저선량 ${\gamma}$선이 조사된 파와 시금치종자의 ion leakage 조사에서는 대조구에 비해 저선량 ${\gamma}$선 조사구에서 감소하는 경향을 보였는데 이는 특히 배양 초기 단계에서 뚜렸하였다. 전분 분해 또한 ${\gamma}$선 조사에 의해 촉진되었고 저선량의 γ선은 glutamic acid의 decarboxylation 으로 인해 종자의 활력을 유지하는 잇점이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Arisaema robustum, which has the ability to change sex, was studied in a temperate broadleaf forest of Sanseong-ri, Joongbu-myeon, Gwangju-gun, Kyonggi Province, Korea. \ulcornerThe study, carried out from 1993 to 1997, focused on population dynamics energy budget among organs, size distribution, mortality, the relationships between sex and size, seed production and germination rate. In terms of energy budget among the organs, the ratio of aboveground to belowground biomass was 36.6 : 63.4 in non-female plants, and 81.4 : 18.6 in female plants. Also, in female plants, the ration of leaf to sexual organ biomass was 39.5 : 41.9. Therefore, the belowground ratio of female plants was lower than that of non-female plants. Plants were classified into 8 levels relative to the amount of leaf area by $100cm^2$. The rates of the smallest and the largest classes were 49% and 1%, respectively, and population distribution by size was relatively stable. The mortality averaged 13.1% per year and decreased in inverse proportion to leaf size (6.6% in the smallest and 0.0% in the largest size classes). Leaf areas were $64.1{\pm}48.5cm^2$ in non-flowering plants, $232.1{\pm}123.9cm^2$ in males and $444.8{\pm}153.9cm^2$ in females. The increase rates of leaf area per year varied from 1.9% in plants changing from female tomale, to 152.4% in plants changing from non-flowering to female. But plants which remained female for 2 years showed a decrease of 34.7%. >From this result, it is thought that the female plants invest more energy to reproduction than to vegetative organs. The correlation coefficient (CC) value between plant size and the number of seeds produced (0.55) was larger than the CC value between plant size and total seed weight (0.73). That is, the larger the plant size, the heavier the seed produced. The germination rate increased along with seed weight, and it was 95% in plants which were over 60mg fresh weight/seed.

비배유종자인 두류는 발아시 자엽내 전분 energy원이 어떻게 분해 전이되어 배아부로 공급되는가를 구명하고자 자엽에 당질이 많고 종자수명이 긴 강남콩을 공시하여 발아과정중 경시적으로 유식물체를 부위별로 절취하여 건물중과 당류의 경시적 소장 및 이동을 HPLC로 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 강남콩 종자에서 자엽 부위의 수분 함율은 6.4 ∼6.5%이나 발아 기간중 ( 1∼8일) 흡수율은 45.8∼71.2%로 증가되며 자엽 하반부가 후엽 상반부보다 1.1∼3.8% 높았다. 자엽을 제외한 근부(유아 + 유근 + 유축부)의 조직 기관에서는 더욱 많은 72.2∼93.3%로 자엽조직보다 현저한 함수율을 보였다. 2. 발아중 강남콩 종자의 주요 당류는 raffinose, sucrose, glucose, fructose이며 경시적 당류 소장이 부위별로 현저한 차이를 보였다. 3. 종자가 파종 흡수되면 각 기관 조직에 raffinose가 급증하나 발아가 완료되면 유아부에서는 소진되고 자엽 하반부에서는 다소 잔존함을 알 수 있었다. 4. Sucrose는 발아초 신생 유아부와 종자의 자엽에 많이 생성되나 발아 후 유아부에서는 급감되고 자엽 조직에서는 계속 생성되어 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 5. Glucose와 fructose는 종자의 자엽부에서는 발아 기간중 5∼l0%와 5∼l5% 범위의 적은 변화였으나 유아 및 생장부위에서는 발아 초기부터 후기까지 현저히 계속 증가됨을 인정할 수 있었다.

Shimizuomyces paradoxus showed no inhibitory effect against plant pathogen fungi, such as Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici and Alternaria solani. The S. paradoxus culture filtrate showed higher seed germination and seedling growth rates in canola than distilled water and potato-dextrose broth. A conidial suspension of $1.0{\times}10^4/mL$ resulted in the highest growth stimulating effects on total plant length, and fresh and dry weight of shoots and roots in cucumber, when compared to the highest suspension concentration. Total plant length and shoot weight increased with the foliar spray treatment, and root length and root weight increased by simultaneous treatments of soil drenching and foliar spray in cucumber. Lower concentrations of the S. paradoxus conidial suspension increased the harvest of tomato fruit.

In this study, computer simulations were conducted to assess the use of a circulating concurrent-flow dryer for rapeseed drying and to determined the effect of this drying method on the germination ratio of rapeseed after the drying process was complete. The simultaneous heat and mass transfer between air and rapeseed in a concurrent-flow dryer was examined by simulation. The drying simulation was based on several parameters with sequent time series. Equations concerning air psychrometrics, physical properties, thermal properties, equilibrium moisture content, thin layer drying of rapeseed, etc. were all combined to solve the simulation models. Based on energy and mass transfer in the concurrent-flow drying model, a simulation program for the circulating concurrent-flow rapeseed dryer was built along with a detailed description of the mathematical solution to the model. A pilot scale circulating concurrent-flow dryer(200 kg/batch) was used to verify the fitness of the simulation program. A comparison between the experimental data and the model predicted results was presented and discussed. The drying parameters and germination ratio were analyzed and the accuracy of the simulation program was evaluated. The simulation program proved to be reliable and was shown to be a convenient tool for predicting rapeseed drying and germination ratio of rapeseed in a concurrent-flow dryer.

Tetragonia tetragonides is a medicinal plant native to ocean sand soil of southern provinces and has significant effects on the prevention and curing of gastroenteric disorders. Despite of its popularity, supply of the plant has never met the level of demand because of the absence of an adequate culturing method. The present study, thereby, was conducted for classifying the plants with geographically different characteristics, studying growth habits, developing a new culturing method and establishing a large scale propagation system of selected superior individual plants. The study was also aimed for revealing optimum conditions for seed treatment, fertilization, and efficient culturing system and thereby, for utilizing the plant as a new income source for rural communities. The seed was elongated with size of 2.6 mm (width) ${\times}$ 1.8 mm (length). No difference in seed size was observed depending on different inhabitate. Each flower produced about 4.5~4.8 seeds. Germination rate was high for seeds matured for 40 days after fertilization, but deceased to 50% for seeds matured only for 20 or 30 days. Seed dormancy lasted 6 months and seed storage at humid $5^{\circ}C$ facilitated germination. Mechanical obstruct of seed germination was due to seed coat and removal of seed coat enhanced the germination rate. Optimum temp. for seed storage was $5^{\circ}C$, and high germination rate was maintained for 350 days. However, for stratification condition or at room temperature, germination was significantly reduced as storage time increased Optimum treatment of plant growth regulators was soaking in $GA_3$ 250 mg/L for 1 hr. The priming treatment with 50 mM $Ca(NO_3)_2$ at $20^{\circ}C$ for two days improved the seed germination with 10% compared to non-treated control. The treatment of 20% NaOCl for 3 hr. improved the seed germination rate up to 10% and 1 day ahead.
