  • The equilibrium moisture contents (EMC) in seeds of four Echinochloa (E. crus-galli var. crus-galli, E. crus-galli var, echinata, E. crus-galli var. praticola, E. esculenta) were measured at $20^{\circ}C$ with equilibration over a series of lithium chloride solutions with relative humidities ranging from 0.11 to 0.8 to determine sorption isotherms and safe storage relative humidity. Standard seed sorption isotherm models i.e. modified Henderson, modified Chung-Pfost, modified Halsey, modified Oswin and Guggenheim-Anderson-deBoer (GAB) equations were adopted to evaluate the goodness of fit to sorption isotherms. This study indicated that EMC of seeds was significantly different in four Echinochloa species at various relative humidity. The modified Oswin equations for E. crus-galli var. crou-galli, E. crus-galli var, echinata, E. esculenta and GAB equation for E. crus-galli var. praticola were adequate models for the EMC data. Seeds of four Echinochloa species have monolayer moisture contents when stored at RH < 0.1. These results show that seed moisture isotherm model should be selected according to genetic variation.

  • The natural habitats and distribution of five rare plants were recently discovered in Korea. Salomonia oblongifolia DC., which grows in mountain wetlands, was found in Gijang-gun, Busan, Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, and Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do. Glaux maritima var. obtusifolia Fernald, which grows along the coast, was found in Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do and Buk-gu, Ulsan. Tillaea aquatica L. and Limosella aquatica L., which was previously not known to be present in Korea, were discovered in Gijang-gun, Busan for the first time. Apocynum lancifolium Russanov, which has a narrow distribution range in Korea, was also found in Samcheok-si, Gangwon-do, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do, Jung-gu, Incheon, Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do and Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do.

  • The nucleotide sequence of a Korea isolate of broad bean wilt favavirus from Rehmannia glutinosa Lib., designated BBWV-RE, was determined. Direct amino acid sequencing of the virus coat proteins suggests that a comparison of several favaviruses in terms of nucleotide sequence and amino acid sequences showed that BBWV-2 isolates display high sequence identity. The small coat protein genes of RNA-2 were also determined for three other Japanese isolates(E, L, and 1-2) and two ATCC isolates(PV132 and PV176) of BBWV. the CP sequence suggested distinct evolution lineages. Serotype 2 favaviruses are more prevalent in Asia, Australia and North America, Wheres serotype 1 is more prevalent in europe.(중략)
