Ten endophytic fungi with different colony morphologies were isolated from the roots of Suaeda japonica Makino growing naturally in Suncheon Bay. Plant growth promotion was verified by treating waito-c rice seedlings with culture filtrates from the endophytic fungi. The bioassays showed that the Sj/7/4 fungal strain induced effective growth promotion in the seedlings. The gibberellins (GA) produced by fungal strain Sj/7/4 were analyzed by gas chromatography /mass spectroscopy with selected ion monitoring (GC/MS SIM). The culture filtrate of Sj/7/4 fungal strain was confirmed to contain $GA_4$ through quantitative analysis. The Sj/7/4 fungal strain was identified to determine the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions with universal primers ITS-1 and ITS-4 by using polymerase chain reactions (PCR). Molecular analysis of the Sj/7/4 fungal strain showed high similarity to Fusarium solani. The Sj/7/4 fungal strain isolated from the root of S. japonica was therefore designated as F. solani Sj/7/4.

This research was conducted to evaluate methods of enhancing the waterlogging resistance of soybean plant. Thus, we applied seven types of plant growth regulators (PGRs) to soybean plants and exposed them to waterlogged conditions for a total of 14 days. To evaluate stress resistance, we monitored plant growth characteristics data such as height, chlorophyll content, and chlorophyll fluorescence for 28 days after the initial waterlogging (14 days under waterlogging conditions and 14 days after waterlogging). According to the results, plant height was significantly increased by gibberellin A4 ($GA_4$) treatment compared to the control treatment and waterlogging-only treatment. However, we could not detect plant height owing to plant death when we applied abscisic acid (ABA). Except for $GA_4$ and ABA treatments, plant heights slightly decreased in all treatments compared to the waterlogging-only treatment. The chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence showed a similar tendency among PGR treatments. The chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence were significantly increased by ethephon and kinetin treatments 28 days after waterlogging compared to the waterlogging-only treatment. Consequently, kinetin and ethephon treatments induced more resistant phenotypes in soybean plants during or after exposure to waterlogging conditions.

애기똥풀(Chelidonium majus L. subsp. asiaticum H.Hara)의 지상부는 백굴채라고 불리며 항암, 항균 등의 효능을 가지고 있어 예로부터 약용으로 이용되었다. 그러나 천연 약용소재로 개발가치가 높음에도 불구하고 실생묘의 대량 확보를 위한 종자번식 관련 연구가 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 애기똥풀의 발아 및 휴면 특성을 분석함으로써 추후 종자번식을 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 수행되었다. 실험재료로 사용된 애기똥풀 종자는 2019년 6월 경상북도 봉화군에서 채종하였으며 정선 후 건조상태로 실온(25℃)에 보관하였다. 종자의 1000립중은 0.57±0.01g이며, 배종비는 0.21±0.12로 조사되어 형태적으로 미성숙한 배를 가지고 있다. 종자의 활력은 테트라졸륨 검정을 통해 79%로 확인되었다. 종자의 기본 함수율은 7.64±0.25%였으며, 침지 2일 차에 최대함수율(32.6±0.34%)에 도달하였다. 초기 발아검정은 25/15℃ (light/dark, 16/8h)챔버에서 명조건과 암조건으로 구분하여 30일간 진행하였으며, 암조건은 알루미늄 호일로 광을 완전히 차단하고 최종 발아율만 조사하였다. 발아율을 조사한 결과, 명조건은 0.75±0.80%, 암조건은 5.50±1.55%로 조사되어 형태적인 휴면과 생리적인 휴면을 모두 갖는 것으로 판단하였다. 애기똥풀의 생태적인 환경을 고려하여 12주의 Summer temperature(S12, 25/15℃, 16/8h)로 층적하고 연속하여 Autumn temperature(A, 15/10℃, 16/8h)를 4주(A4)와 8주(A8)로 달리하여 종자의 휴면타파를 유도하였다. 층적 후 발아율은 모두 증가되었으며, S12-A4(54%)는 S12-A8(24.5%)에 비해서 휴면타파에 효과적이었다. 휴면타파 효과의 증진을 위해 층적처리한 종자를 500ppm의 GA₃와 GA₄₊₇에 각 24시간동안 4℃에서 침지시킨 뒤 동일한 조건에 파종하였다. GA₃가 처리된 S12-A4는 발아율이 82.0%, S12-A8는 30.8%로 유의적으로 증가하였으나 GA₄₊₇ 처리는 S12-A4(48.5%)와 S12-A8(21.3%)에서 발아율 향상 효과가 없었다. 결론적으로 애기똥풀의 휴면타파를 위해서 12주의 Summer temperature와 4주의 Autumn temperature 변온층적과 추가 GA₃ 처리가 휴면타파를 위한 효과적인 처리방법으로 판단된다.

As the advanced seeding technology through use of plug tray for good cultivation of seeds was propagated along with the expansion and development of horticultural industry, the use of bed soils as growing medium has recently been increased. In this study, the effects of the four clay minerals such as illite, phyllite, zeolite, and bentonite on the early growth of red pepper in the bed soil were investigated. Furthermore, proteome analysis for the leaf and stem samples of red pepper treated with only illite was performed. Of the seedling cultured, the healthy and regular size seeds were selected and cultivated in the pots, after they were treated with four clay minerals. The experiment was performed during the whole six weeks in the glasshouse of the Chungbuk National University. The growth lengths, fresh and dry weights of red pepper were significantly higher in the treatments of illite, phyllite, zeolite, and bentonite than in the control. In addition, the uptake of $K^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, and $Mg^{2+}$ were higher in the treatment of illite, phyllite, zeolite, and bentonite than in the control. The 2-DE patterns for the red pepper by the applications of illite, phyllite, zeolite, and bentonite were similar to each other. Therefore, compared to the samples of control, the proteome analysis for the samples of red pepper treated by only illite were performed. Proteome analysis for red pepper showed that plastid fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate aldolase class 1, aldolase, and glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, all of which were involved in the energy metabolism, were highly expressed in leaf tissue by illite treatment. In stem tissue, NAD-dependent formate dehydrogenase involved in energy metabolism, potassium transport protein, and GIA/RGA-like gibberellins response modulator were highly expressed. Based on the results obtained from the proteome analysis, it appears that the proteins specifically and differentially expressed on the illite treatment may be involved in the enhanced growth of red pepper. The identification of some proteins involved in the response of vegetable crops to the treatment of clay mineral can provide new insights that can lead to a better elucidation and understanding of mechanism on their molecular basis.

To develop the effective methods of flowering stimulation, Hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa Sieh. et Zuec.) grafts growing in a seed orchard and in a clone bank in Southern Breeding Station of Cheju were applied with gibberellin treatments, and predicted the seed production potential. In the seed orchard, $GA_{4/7}$ 1.5cc was injected into the stem of drafts and sprayed whale tree crown with $GA_3$ 300ppm and $GA_{4/7}$ 300ppm. Un the other hand, in the clonal archives, drafts were given intrusion of $GA_{4/7}$ 1.5cc into the excised and open inner part of bark wind $GA_3$ 20mg and sprayed with $GA_3$ 300ppm. Additionally, grafts growing in the seed orchard were treated with gibberellins at 3 different periods of time and 3 different treatments during the growing season. The results obtained here are summarized as follows : 1. All of the applications of Gilbberellin promoted female flower formation. Among these, the treatment of intrusion of $GA_{4/7}$ 1.5cc into the excised and open inner part of bark was racist effective, followed by the spraying of $GA_3$ 300ppm. Similarly, the applications of gibberellin promoted male flower formation. 2. Regarding the time of applications, treatment on August 15 was more effective than those of August 31 and September 11 in the stimulation of female flowers. On the contrary, there was no significant difference in the number of male flowers among 3 different time treatments. 3. It was supposed that the application of the intrusion of $GA_{4/7}$ 1.5cc into the excised and open inner part of bark on August 15 showing the best effect in female flower formation can produce 22.12kg seeds per ha. 4. Considerable significant difference existed among clones for both female and male flower formations. 5. Flower formation, especially female flower formation, seemed to be partially associated with the genetic potential of individual trees.
