There is a growing preference for using doubled haploids (DHs) in maize breeding programs because they reduce the time required to generate and evaluate new lines to 2 years or less. However, there is an urgent need for efficient techniques that accurately discriminate between haploid and diploid maize kernels. Here, we investigate the effects of several hormones and chemicals on the germination of haploid and diploid maize kernels, including auxin, cytokinin, ethylene, abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis inhibitor (fluridone), ABA catabolism inhibitor (diniconazole), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), and NaCl. Ethylene effectively stimulated the germination of both haploid and diploid maize kernels. The ABA biosynthesis inhibitor fluridone, the ABA catabolism inhibitor diniconazole, and MeJA selectively stimulated the germination of haploid maize kernels. By contrast, gibberellin, 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), kinetin, and NaCl inhibited the germination of both haploid and diploid maize kernels. These results indicate that the germination of haploid maize kernels is selectively stimulated by fluridone and diniconazole, and suggest that ABA-mediated germination of haploid maize kernels differs from that of diploid maize kernels and other plant seeds.

본 실험은 대두(大豆)의 발아(發芽)에 따른 trypsin inhibitor activity(TIA)와 protein pattern의 변화에 관하여 조사함과 아울러 그 상관관계를 살퍼보기위한 목적으로 시도되었다. 자엽의 TIA는 발아(發芽)과정중(中) 조금 감소하였고, 배축에서는 급격히 감소해서 발아(發芽) 제 7일에는 제2일의 50%이하로 줄었다. 그리고 발아(發芽) 제 2,3,4일의 defatted dry sample에서 배축은 자엽보다 더 높은 TUI를 보여줬으며 배축의 수분함량이 자엽에 비해 높으므로 fresh sample당(當) TIA는 자엽보다 더 낮았다. 그리고 protein pattern은 자엽과 배축에 있어서 분자량이 큰 15S등의 polymer (band 1), 11S (band 2) 그리고 7S (band 3)가 감소했고 Rm치(値) 자엽의 band 5를 비롯하여 $0.5{\sim}1.0$사이에 높은 mobility를 가진 물질들이 생성(生成)되었다. 자엽의 band 4와 배축의 band 6은 거의 변하지 않았다. 그리고 발아에 따라 TIA의 감소와 저 장단백질의 감소는 있었으나 그 감소량이 서로 일치하지는 않았다.

대두갈색무늬병균의 포자발아(分生胞子發芽) 미치는 외부영양공급(外部營養供給) 및 self-inhibitor의 영향(影響)을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과(結果)를 얻었다. 1. 갈색무늬병균의 포자발아율은 감자한천배지 및 대두잎조각을 첨가한 증류수에서는 양호하였으나 살균된 증류수에서는 극히 불량하였다. 2. 갈색무늬병균의 포자발아에는 탄소원의 외부공급이 절대 필요한 것으로 보였으며 인산, 가리 등은 큰 영향이 없는 것으로 보였다. 3. 탄소원으로서는 가용성 전분이 가장 효과적이었고 다음이 포도당, 유당 등이었으며 포도당의 경우 $5\times10^{-2}mol$ 농도에서 가장 높은 발아율을 보였다. 4. 포자발아율은 포자밀도가 높을수록 현저히 감소하여 포자농도 $10,000conidia/mm^2$ 이상에서는 거의 발아하지 않는 것으로 보아 self-inhibitor가 존재하는 것으로 보였다. 5. 기질(基質)을 세척한 포자의 발아율은 세척하지 않은 포자의 발아율에 비해 낮았으며 이러한 현상은 포자농도가 $2,000conidia/mm^2 $ 이상으로 증가할 때 더욱 현저하였고 건조된 한천배양기위에는 발아율 감소가 현저하였다.

Chemicals related to hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) and nitric oxide (NO) generations were exogenously applied to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae (Fof) causing Fusarium wilt disease in strawberry plants, and regulations of in vitro conidial germination and mycelial growth of the fungus by the chemical treatments were evaluated. $H_2O_2$ drastically reduced the conidial germination of Fof in a dose-dependent manner, and treatment with 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (3-AT) catalase inhibitor also led to dose-dependent inhibition of conidial germination but relatively moderately. Gradual decreases in mycelial growth of Fof were found by high concentrations of $H_2O_2$, whilst exogenous 3-AT slightly increased the mycelial growth. Increasing sodium nitroprusside (SNP) NO donor, $N^G$-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) NO synthase (NOS)-inhibitor and tungstate nitrate reductase (NR) inhibitor led to dose-dependent reductions in conidial germination of Fof in quite different levels. SNP conversely increased the mycelial growth but increasing L-NAME moderately decreased the mycelial growth. Tungstate strongly enhanced mycelial growth. Differentially regulated in vitro mycelial growths of Fof were demonstrated by SNP, L-NAME and tungstate with or without $H_2O_2$ supplement. Superoxide anion production was also regulated during the mycelial growth of Fof by nitric oxide. These results show that $H_2O_2$ and NO-associated enzymes can be suggested as fungal growth regulators of Fof as well as eco-friendly disease-managing agents in strawberry production fields.

A number of laboratory experimentes have performed to elucidate water-soluble of volatile substances from wormwood plant(artemisia princeps var. orientalis) as growth inhibitor or phytotoxicant. in germination tests with aqueous extracts of leaves, stems and roots of the wormwood plants, most tested species showed that relative germination ratio was inversely proportional to comcentration of the extracats. and seedling elongation and dry weight of the species were heavily inhibited with the extracts, incubated leaves, volatile substances of the leaves and soil underneath wormwood plants. gas Chromatography was employed to find out possible phytotoxic substances or growth inhibitors of wormwood leaves. ten substantes have isolated, and most of them were identified as terpenoids.

Previously, we identified the 20S proteasome ${\alpha}$-subunit of Magnaporthe oryzae (M. oryzae) induced during appressorium formation, and detected an increase in multiple protein ubiquitination during the early appressorium formation process (Kim et al., 2004). In this study, we further attempted to determine whether the proteasome is involved in the appressorium formation of M. oryzae both in vitro and in planta, using proteasome inhibitors. A significant increase in 20S proteasome during fungal germination and appressorium formation was observed using Western blot analysis with 20S proteasome antibody, demonstrating that proteasome-mediated protein degradation was involved in appressorium formation. Pharmacological analysis using proteasome inhibitors, MG-132, proteasome inhibitor I (PI) and proteasome inhibitor II (PII) revealed that germination and appressorium formation were delayed for 4 to 6 h on rice leaf wax-coated plates. Similarly, the treatment of proteasome inhibitors with fungal conidia on the rice leaf surface delayed appressorium formation and host infection processes as well. Additionally, fungal pathogenicity was strongly reduced at 4 days' postfungal infection. These data indicated that the fungal 20S proteasome might be involved in the pathogenicity of M. oryzae by the suppression of germination and appressorium formation.

Germination and early elongation of rice after germination were investigated in anoxic air treatment, nitric oxide gas treatment, and six concentrations of mercuric chloride solutions to determine the effects of limited oxygen environment, nitric oxide, and inhibited water flux through cell membrane in $17^{\circ}C$. Anoxic air treatment affected germination of tested six varieties very little. However root elongation rates were severely inhibited while shoot growth was affected less. Reductions in shoot and root elongations demonstrated genotypic variations. Nitric oxide delayed the germination of rice even though it didn't affect the final percent germination. Elongations of root and shoot were inhibited in nitric oxide treatment. The inhibitor effect of nitric oxide on the shoot elongation of rice was less severe, while nitric oxide completely inhibited the root emergence of rice. Concentrations of $HgCl_2$ greater than $300{\mu}M$ dramatically reduced the rate and percentage of germination when compared to distilled water treatment. The reduced percent germination showed the greatest variation among rice varieties in $500{\mu}M$ solution of mercuric chloride. Ansanbyeo, Jinheung, and Odaebyeo were affected less by $HgCl_2$, Nonganbyeo and Sangmibyeo were intermediate, and the germination of Andabyeo was greatly reduced by $HgCl_2$. Root elongation of germinated rice seedlings was more sensitive to oxygen deficits, nitric oxide, and $HgCl_2$ treatments than germination and shoot elongation. In conclusion, poor seedling establishment of rice sown in flooded paddy soils, in which the oxygen supply to the seeds is restricted, appears to the result of limited root elongation rate.

Plants are sessile and rely on a wide variety of growth hormones to adjust growth and development in response to internal and external stimuli. We have identified a gene, designated NAN, encoding a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that regulates cell elongation and seed germination in plants. NAN has an HLH motif in its C-terminal region but does not have any other discernible homologies to bHLH proteins. A bipartite nuclear localization signal is located close to the HLH motif. An Arabidopsis mutant, nan-1D, in which NAN is activated by the insertion of the 35S enhancer, exhibits growth retardation with short hypocotyls and curled leaves. It is also characterized by reduced seed germination and apical hook formation, symptomatic of GA deficiency or disrupted GA signaling. The phenotypic effects of nan-1D were increased by treatment with paclobutrazol (PAC), an inhibitor of gibberellic acid (GA) biosynthesis. NAN is constitutively expressed throughout the life cycle. Our observations indicate that NAN has a housekeeping role in plant growth and development, particularly in seed germination and cell elongation, and that it may modulate GA signaling.

Oryzalexine A, a potent growth inhibitor against several weeds such as Digitaria sanguinalis (L) Scop., and Amaranthus lividus L. was purified by conventional solvent partitioning and column chromatographies. This substance showed strong inhibitory activity on several weeds: Germination of seeds of Poa annua L. was inhibited by 36.5 % at 1.0 mM and Amaranthus lividus L. by 56.1% at 2.5mM. Growth of root and shoot of Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop. by 10.2% and 22.4% at 2.5mM, respectively. These suggest that Oryzalexine A in rice straw might affect the germination and growth of susceptible weeds and other plants.

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.
