The germination responses of Cassia mimosoides var. nomame seeds to temperature were examined under various conditions. The temperature range allowing germination was $20~40^{\circ}C$, and the linear relationship between the germination rate and temperature appeared to exist between $28~38^{\circ}C$ The total thermal time required for germination (10~80%) of C. mimosoides seeds ranged from 259 Kh (degree Kelvin$\times$hours) to 421 Kh and base temperature range was relatively constant, i.e., $23.39~26.68^{\circ}C$. In the increasing temperature (IT) regime, C. mimosoides seeds started to germinate at $16^{\circ}C$ and showed greater germination rate with increasing temperatures. The final germination rate was 64% at $36^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, in the decreasing temperature (DT) regime, the seeds began to germinate at $36^{\circ}C$, and the final germination rate was 52% at $20^{\circ}C$. An induced dormancy occurred at $16^{\circ}C$ in the DT regime.

This study was focused on the effect of the altitude on the geographical variations of germination characteristics in the populations of Plantago asiatica L. distribute in Mt. Chiri. There was a significant difference among the 14 groups in the phenological pattern in relation to altitudes. When the altitude becomes higher, the thermal time which was required for 10 to 80% germination rate showed higher and wider distribution. On the other hand, the germination response of increasing temperature (IT) and secreasing temperature (DT) regime was classified into 3 group. The first group was the spering germination type. This group showed that the IT regime hadhigher germination rate than that of the DT regime, and was distributed in Macheon(300m) and Packmudong (500m). The second was the spring-fall germination type which was distributed in Hadong (900m) and Saemt대 (1100m). This group also showed higher germination rate in the IT regime, but the difference of the germination rate between IT and DT regime was less than that in the first group (the spring type). The third group was the early fall germination type which was found in the Nogodan (1507m), Changetomok (1750m) and Cheonwangbong (1915m). The germination rate of this group showed almost 100% similarity between IT and DT regime. These data suggested that the geographical varations of germination characteristics within species was an important ecological strategy for the survival from severe environmental conditions.

돌피(Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv.) 종자는 산포 직후 상온에서 휴면상태로 발아가 억제되고 있으나 저장기간이 지나면서 휴면이 타파되어 7~17개월후에 16~40$^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 85~95%의 최대발아율을 나타내었다. 돌피종자가 10~70% 발아하는데 요구되는 적산온도는 539~1,279Kh (degree kelvinXhours)이며 적산온도 분포함수인 F($\theta$)=1-[3D-3($\theta$-m+D)3+1]-1/2와 일치하였고 m과 D의 값은 각각 935Kh와 555kh로 나타났다. 2$^{\circ}C$에서 냉습처리한 후, 16~40$^{\circ}C$의 항온 조건하에 4$^{\circ}C$ 간격으로 처리한 돌피종자는 최종발아율과 발아속도가 대조구에 비해 증가하였다. IT regime에 있어서는 12$^{\circ}C$부터 발아속도가 증가하여 24$^{\circ}C$에서 최종발아율이 80%가 되었으며, DT regime은 24$^{\circ}C$에서 0$^{\circ}C$로 하강하는 동안 12$^{\circ}C$에서부터 발아가 시작되었으며(발아율 10%), 8$^{\circ}C$에서 20%의 최종발아율을 나타내었고 4$^{\circ}C$부터는 2차 휴면이 유도되었다. 돌피종자는 비교적 넓은 발아기능 온도범위를 가지고 있으며 개체군내의 발아시기조절에 의해 다양한 환경변화에서도 잘 적응할 수 있으며 변온과 겨울의 저온에 의해 휴면이 타파되고 봄의 기온상승과 함께 발아하는 봄발아형 종자임을 알 수 있었다.

Germination of sweet and super sweet corn is lower than normal corn due to the higher sugar and lower starch contents of kernels. Sweet corn seeds are easily deteriorated in the field under the unfavorable condition, therefore it is important to identify the optimal harvesting time for seed production. This trial was conducted to investigate the responses of germination percentage of shrunken-2(sh2), brittle(bt), sugary(su), and sugary enhancer(se) hybrids in relation to harvesting dates. Eight hybrids of four different gene sweet corns were harvested at 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 days after silking(DAS). Germination test was performed using paper towel method. Mean germination percentages across eight hybrids showed the highest value at 45 DAS. There were significant differences among genes and within gene for germination. Shrunken-2 hybrid Mecca was higher than su hybrids for germination, indicating that sh2 would not be poorer than su Late harvesting beyond the optimal harvesting date might not be desirable because of more lodging and ear rots. Theoretical optimal harvesting date estimated from the regression equation was 40.9 DAS, however, practical date for harvesting would be a few days later than the estimated date if seedling vigor might be considered. Kernel dry weight per ear showed similar response to germination. Regression equation showed the highest kernel dry weight at 40.7 DAS. Significant correlations between kernel dry weight and germination were observed, impling that kernel dry matter accumulation would be an important factor for germination.

The responses of soybean seeds were evaluated to accelerated aging and gamma irradiation with regard to germination, seed leakage, seed leachate component and dry weight of hypocotyl and primary root of the germinating seed. Accelerated aging significantly reduced the final germination rate while gamma irradiation increased the final germination rate. Furthermore, the interactive effects occurred that the final germination rate of 5-day aged seeds increased considerably in response to 4 Gy of gamma irradiation. The extent to which the electrolyte was leaked from the seeds (conductivity) was significantly affected by accelerated aging and showed a close negative correlation with the germination rate. Gamma irradiation, however, did not significantly affect the electrical conductivity of seed leachate. The accelerated aging significantly increased the concentrations of the particular electrolytes leaked from the seeds while the gamma irradiation did not affect those concentrations. Of the electrolytes leaked from the seeds, Ca and Mg showed relatively lower concentrations while K showed greater concentrations than others. Moreover, N and P showed similar responses to aging treatment. Aging treatment significantly affected dry weight (DW) of hypocotyls and primary root. Also, gamma irradiation decreased DW of hypocotyls and primary root, particularly for 8 Gy associated with 5 days aging treatment. The data were discussed in terms of the relationships of seed vigor with aging treatment and gamma irradiation.

Various presowing seed treatments have been used to enhance the rates of germination and afterward seedling emergence. Seeds treated by them occasionally have not shown the same rate in indoor and field. The presowing treatments considering germination mechanism and factors affecting germination should be totally included in indoor experiments so that the results drawn could be reproduced in the field. Seed drying after the treatments and field conditions after sowing especially able to show Phytochromemediated responses related to light treatment must be determined prior to force the treatments to seeds. After set up these prerequisites to promote the rates of germination and emergence, many seed treatments proposed so far must be fixed how to be done; alone, sequential and simultaneous.

It is generally known that electron beam has sterilization effects and can activate plant germination and growth. Compared to electron beam, electrical pulse has not been frequently studied with respect to the biological application. In this study, we have analyzed the effects of high voltage pulse on seed germination and growth using various plant species. We have used the high voltage generator for examining seed's responses to the high voltage pulse. The operating voltage and currents of the generator are about 300 kV and 30 kA, respectively. Pulse width is 60 ns. High voltage pulse has slightly activated germination and growth of radish during early stage. Various levels of germination and growth are observed in different plant species after treated with high voltage pulse.

금강아지풀, 가을강아지풀, 강아지풀 종자의 발아특성과 제초제에 대한 반응차이를 조사하여 시험재료로서 발아력이 양호한 종자를 효율적으로 공급할 수 있는 조건들을 찾음은 물론 종간 발아특성 차이와 제초제에 대한 반응차이간의 관련성 여부를 검토하여 보았다. 금강아지풀의 경우 실온건조에서, 가을강아지풀 및 강아지풀의 경우는 저온습윤에서 가장 빨리 휴면타파 되었다. 휴면의 정도는 금강아지풀, 강아지풀, 가을강아지풀 순으로 강한 경향이었다. 금강아지풀의 경우 휴면타파된 종자를 저온습윤 또는 저온건조에 보관하더라도 발아력에 변함이 없었으나 가을강아지풀 및 강아지풀의 경우는 저온건조에 두면 발아속도가 늦어지며 초기발아율이 떨어지는 경향이었으나 50% 이상의 발아력(2개월째)은 유지하였다. 금강아지풀 종자를 실온건조에 보관할 경우 6년 이상이면 발아력이 감퇴되었다. 발아는 세 종류 모두 $30^{\circ}C$ 14시간/$20^{\circ}C$ 10시간의 온도조건에서 양호하였으며 광의 유무에 따른 발아율 타이는 인정되지 않았다. Cycloxydim, sethoxydim, primisulfuron 처리에서는 종간 반응차이가 없었으나, fenoxapropethyl은 가을강아지풀과 강아지풀에서, fluazifopbutyl은 가을강아지풀에서, clorimuron-ethyl은 금강아지풀파 가을강아지풀에서 감수성 정도가 약간 높았을 뿐이었다. 반면에 EK-2612는 반응 차이가 현저하여 강아지풀보다 금강아지풀에서 높은 감수성을 보였다. 이로 볼 때 동일 작용메카니즘을 가지는 약제들간에도 종간에 일관된 반응차이를 가지는 것이 아니라 오히려 화합물에 의존하는 반응을 보였으며, 종간 발아특성 차이와 제초반응과는 어떠한 관련성이 없었다.

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.
