4가지 낙엽송(구주낙엽송, 일본낙엽송, 시베리아낙엽송, tamarack)의 종자결실에 영향을 미치는 요인과 각각의 요인들에 의한 종자손실율을 조사하였다. 화분의 질, 수분의 실패, female gametrophyte의 퇴화 등은 종자결실에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 수정실패, 배의 퇴화 등은 조사된 4개의 수조에서 모두 주요한 종자손실요인으로 조사되었다. 조사된 요인들 중 종자수확에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 수분후 strobilus자체가 퇴화되는 것이었다. 조사된 4가지 교배조합중 구주낙엽송 또는 일본낙엽송을 모수로 하는 것이 종자생산측면에서는 가장 바람직한 것으로 나타났으며, tamarack을 모수로 하는 교배조합은 건전한 종자생산을 하지 못할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the distributions of the native and introduced dandelins in the western Kyonggido area and to determine the environmental factor influencing distribution of dandelions. One hundered and thirty seven study sites were randomly selected along roadsides in urban areas, arable lands, apartment areas and industry regions, and vegetation, dandelion's seed characters and soil acidity were sureyed. Throughout the areas the introduced dandelions were more widely distributed than the native ones. The native dandelions were scarcely distributed in the developed areas and roadsides. The introduced dandelions were dominantly distributed in the new environments where soils were alkalized by the trban development, road pavement, and construction of new buildings, while the native ones were mostly distributed in the rural area with weakly acid soil. The seed production of the introduced ones were two times more than that of the native ones. The seed of the introduced ones were lighter than that of the native ones. The introduced ones yield seeds more than four times a year. These results suggested the urbanization and the seed characters to bet the two dominant factors influencing the distribution of dandelions.

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.

본 연구에서는 seed 물질을 첨가함으로써 struvite 결정핵의 생성 및 성장단계를 단축시키고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 seed 물질의 성상(모래, 안트라사이트, struvite)별, 입자의 크기(44$\sim$63 $\mu$m, 63$\sim$88 $\mu$m, 88$\sim$114 $\mu$m)별, 교반조건($G{\cdot}t_d$)에 따라 결정핵의 생성속도론에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 모래와 안트라사이트는 seeding 하지 않은 경우에 비하여 암모니아성 질소제거효율이 각각 9%, 11%로 향상되었으며, struvite로 seed한 경우는 암모니아성 질소제거효율은 20% 이상 향상되었다. Seeding에 따른 struvite 결정화 효율은 seed 입자의 비표면적과 밀접한 상관관계가 있다. Seed 물질입자의 비표면적이 클수록 struvite 핵생성 및 성장을 향상시켰다. 또한 struvite 결정화 반응시 동질의 seed 물질(struvite seeds)을 사용하여 2차 핵생성을 유도하면 struivte 결정의 핵생성 및 성장을 위한 $G{\cdot}t_d$값을 단축시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 고려한 입자크기에 대해서는 seed 입자크기에 대한 영향은 확인되지 않았다. Struvite 결정핵 생성속도론에서 $G{\cdot}t_d$값은 매우 중요한 인자로써 작용하였다.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the changes of harvest index and the relationship between harvest index and yield determination factors by different planting times in the determinate soybean cultivars, Shinpaldal and Danbaeg. Optimum planting were 23 May in 1995 and 1996. Late planting were 13 June in 1995 and 6 June in 1996. Growth period from planting to physiological maturity (R7) was shortened as planting time was delayed in two cultivars due to shortening of reproductive growth period in Shinpaldal, and of vegetative growth period in Danbaeg. Stem weight was distinctly decreased in late planting compared to optimum planting, but seed weight of both cultivars was not different between planting times. Also, seed number per pod and harvest index were significantly increased in late planting and the high correlation was found between two factors. It was suggested that increase of harvest index in late planting would be related with high assimilate use efficiency due to increase of sink capacity. The results of correlation and principal component analysis for yield determination factors showed that main factor on yield determination was pod number per plant at R5 stage associated with dry matter accumulation during early reproductive growth period, seed number per pod and harvest index were the second factor, and one hundred seed weight was the third factor. The result of this experiment indicated that yield determination in soy-bean was dependent mainly on pod number per plant related to dry matter accumulation by early reproductive growth period, and the increase of seed number per pod and harvest index could compensate for yield decrease by shortening of vegetative growth period in late planting. Such result suggests that optimum planting date can be delayed from mid May to early June in improved soybean cultivars in Korea.

A good arithmetic random number generator should possess full period, uniformity and independence, etc. To obtain the excellent random number generator, many researchers have found good parameters. Also an initial seed is the important factor in random number generator. But, there is no theoretical guideline for using the initial seeds. Therefore, random number generator is usually used with the arbitrary initial seed. Through the empirical tests, we show that the choice of the initial values for the seed is important to generate good random numbers.

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of weed interference and starter fertilizer on subsequent soybean seed quality at the Agricultural Research Farm and Laboratory of Razi University, Kermanshah, Iran. Two factorial experiment was laid-outon a randomized complete block design with four replications. First factor was starter fertilizer levels (0 and 25 kg $ha^{-1}$) applied in the forms of monoammonium phosphate, the second factor was different weed interference periods consisted of five initial weed-free periods (in which, plots were kept free of weeds for 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 days after crop emergence (DAE) and then weeds were allowed to grow until harvest) and five initial weed-infested periods (in which, weeds were allowed to grow for 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60DAE, after which the plots were kept free of weeds until harvest). Full season weedy condition reduced 100-seed weight, seed germination percentage and seedling dry weight by 25.9, 13.3 and 22.5%, respectively and increased mean germination time and seed electrical conductivity by 55.8 and 24.3%, respectively as compared with full season weed-free control. However, the traits under study were not significantly influenced when field was kept free of weeds for at least 45 DAE (R1) or weedy condition was continued for less than 30 DAE (V8). There was a significant and negative correlation between weed biomass and seed weight (r = -0.93), so that when weed free condition was less than 45 DAE or weed infested period was continued for at least 30 DAE, soybean plants produced wrinkled and underdeveloped seeds with lower weights and qualities. Moreover, soybean seed quality reduction due to weed interference was more evident when starter fertilizer was applied and weeds interfered with soybean from the beginning of the growing season. Information from the present study is beneficial in soybean seed production systems and where farmers use the harvested seeds for the following planting.

본 연구는 흰쥐의 난소제거로 유발한 골다공증에 대한 흥화씨(Carhamus inctorius L)의 투여 효과를 알아보기 위하여 혈청내 호르몬과 골소주의 변화를 관찰하였다 실험동물은 4개월 령의 흰쥐를 난소절제를 실시하여 골다공증을 유발 시킨 후 실험에 이용하였으며 30일간 격일 간격으로 0.03g/kg의 용량을 투여 하였다. 혈청 내에서 Insulin-like Growth Factors, Insulin-like Growth Factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), Estrogen, Bone-specific alkaline phosphotase, Calcium, and Phospotase를 매 10일 간격으로 측정하였으며 비골의 골간을 채취하여 조직 형태학적인 검사를 실시하였고 체중에 대한 대퇴골 무게를 측정하였다. 홍화씨 투여 10일과 20일에서는 혈청내 IGF-I, IGF-II그리고 IGFBP-3의 변화는 대조군에 비하여 유의성 있는 변화를 관찰할 수 없었으나 홍화씨 투여 30일에 있어서는 IGF-I, IGF-II그리고 IGFBP-3의 변화가 대조군에 비하여 현저히 높은 유의서 있는 변화를 관찰할 수 있었다(p<0.05). Bone alkaline phosphatase(BALP)에 있어서도 홍화씨 투여 30일 에 가장 많은 변화가 있었으나 estrogen과 체중에 대한 대퇴골의 무게에 있어서는 유의성 있는 변화를 관찰하지 못했다. 오히려 이시기에 난소를 절제하지 않는 대조군의 estrogen치가 높게 나타났다. 난소절제로 골다공증을 유발시킨 흰쥐에 있어서 흥화씨의 투여는 혈청내 IGFs, IGFBP-3 and BALP을 높임으로서 골다공증 치료에 효과가 있는 것으로 사료됩니다.

The objective of this study was to investigate the variation of Chinese milk vetch(Astragalus sinicus L.; CMV) seed quality after flowering. We tagged individual open flowers of CMV at the day of maximum flowering(11 May) in Seoul, Korea. Seed samples were harvested serially at 15, 20, 25 and 30 days after flowering(DAF). To compare with dried seeds, non-dried seeds were tested immediately after harvest and the remaining seeds were placed at room temperature for 4 weeks. Seed length, 1000 seed weight, moisture content, germination rate(GR), mean germination time(MGT), germination speed(GS), germination performance index(GPI) and physical dormancy rate(PDR) were investigated. Seed length increased to 2.6 mm and 1000 seed weight reached up to 2.2 g until 25 DAF. Seed moisture content dramatically decreased from 20 to 25 DAF. Moisture content of non-dried seed(7.5%) was similar to that of dried seed(5.5%) at 25 DAF. The rate of seed viability reached up to 94% at 25 DAF. In case of dried seed, GR increased up to 39% at 25 DAF whereas GR of non-dried seed varied from 5 to 10%. GS and GPI of dried seed were significantly higher than those of non-dried seed since 25 DAF. PDR of dried seed has decreased since 20 DAF, whereas PDR of non-dried seed has increased. GR, GS and GPI increased as PDR decreased. Our results evidenced that PDR might be one of major factor in variation of seed quality, of which development was completed at 25 DAF.
