The extracts of selected plants and analyzed phenolic compounds were used to study the effects of alleloKDICicals on seed germination and seedling growth. HPLC analysis of the aqueous extracts of seven species identified 15 phenolic compounds including caffeic acid. Among them, protocatechuic acid was detected at 65.87ppm and 6.84ppm, in Erigeron canadensis and Pinus rigida, respectively. And the extract of P. rigida showed the strongest inhibitory effect on seed germination. The extract of P. rigida leaves significantly inhibited germination and radicle growth of Raphanus sativus var. hortensis for. acanthiformis in direct proportion to concentration. However, germination of Cassia mimosoides var. nomame was stimulated by the treated extracts at the same concentrations, but root growth was inhibited at high concentrations. Except chlorogenic acid, eleven of the twelve phenolic compounds inhibited the germination of R. sativus var. hortensis for. acanthiformis. In the case of C. mimosoides var. nomame, some phenolic compounds such as chlorogenic acid, vanillic acid, protocatechuic acid, ferulic acid, gallic acid and ${\rho}-coumaric$ acid stimulated germination, while the others reduced it.

임도를 비롯한 각종 훼손지 비탈면에서 종자뿜어붙이기 공법에 의한 녹화효과를 제고하기 위해서 참싸리, 낭아초, 새, 켄터키 블루그래스, 페러니얼 라이그래스를 재료로 하여 종자피복 및 복토 여부에 따른 종자발아 및 유묘의 생장특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 모든 시험식물에서 종자의 피복처 리는 무피복에 비해 복토파종과 겉뿌림에서 모두 종자의 발아율을 향상시 켰다. 종자피복에 의해 전체 평균 발아율은 복토파종과 겉뿌림에서 각각 11.2%와 21.4% 향상되었다. 또한 발아세는 식물종과 처리에 따라 $0.8{\sim}3.7$일 단축시켰고, LD50은 $0.8{\sim}2.6$일 단축시키는 효과가 있었다. 그러나 모든 시험식물에서 종자피복에 의해 발아개시 일은 1일 이 내에서 지연되었다. 2. 종자피복은 식물의 지상부와 뿌리의 생장을 촉진시키는 효과가 있었다. 즉 종자피복에 의해 전체 평균 지상부생장은 복토파종과 겉뿌림에서 각각 21.7%와 34.8%향상되었고, 전체 평균 뿌리 생장은 복토파종과 겉뿌림에서 각각 22.0%와 26.2% 향상되었다. 3. 피복종자를 복토파종한 것은 겉뿌림 에 비해 발아 개시 일을 평균 1.3일 지 연시 켰으나, 발아율을 평균 5%향상시켰고, 발아세와 LD50을 각각 1.0일과 1.4일 단축시켰다. 그러나 종자피복에 의한 종자발아와 유묘생장의 향상효과는 복토파종에서보다 겉뿌림에서 더 크게 나타났다. 4.종자 피복재료 중에서는Vermiculite+Talcum가 시험식물의 종자발아와 유묘생장에 있어서 가장 효과가 좋았다. Bentonite, Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Hydroxide을 이용한 종자피복도 무피복에 비해 좋은 효과를 나타내었다. 5. 5종의 시험식물 가운데서 종자피복을 통한 발아향상효과는 낭아초에서, 유묘생장 촉진효과는 참싸리에서 가장 크게 나타났다. 즉 크기가 작은 초본류의 종자보다는 크기가 큰 목본류의 종자에서 종자픽복의 효과가 크게 나타났다. 6. 따라서 종자뿜어붙이기 공법으로 파종한 후에 복토를 할 수 없는 훼손지 비탈면에서는 녹화용 식물의 종자를 Vermiculite+Talcum 등으로 피복하여 파종함으로써 안정적 인 조기녹화를 실현할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Kadsura coccinea (Lem.) A.C. Smith is used as a medicinal plant and cosmetic material in China and Southeast Asia. To mass-produce Kadsura coccinea seedlings, the effects of gibberellic acid (GA₃) and cold stratification treatments on seed germination were investigated. Seed germination rate with GA₃ treatment was most effective at concentrations of 250 or 500 mg/L. With respect to mean germination time (MGT), mean daily germination, and T₅₀ (days to reach 50% seed germination), the germination-promoting effect was improved as the concentration of GA₃ increased. Stem growth of seedlings was the highest following GA₃ treatments of 250 and 500 mg/L, and the growth promoting effect gradually decreased as the concentration of GA₃ decreased. Root growth was stimulated at GA₃ concentrations of 250-1,000 mg/L. Examination of the effect of stratification treatment for 15, 30 and 60 days at temperatures of 0, 5 and 10℃ on the germination rate revealed that the most stratification treatment temperature was 10℃, and the results improved with longer treatment periods. Altogether, GA₃ and stratification treatments improved the seed germination rate, shortened the MGT, improved germination uniformity, and produced healthy seedlings.

Effects of plant growth regulators on the germination of ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) seeds were investigated. Ginseng seeds germinated more vigorously in the treatments of kinetin and BA, and the promoting effect of kinetic on the germination and the growth of rootlet enhanced in low temperature ($10^{\circ}C$). However, GA did not promote the germination of dehiscent seed. The optimum temperature for germination of dehiscent seed was $10^{\circ}C$ and the range of effective concentration of kinetin for germination was 50 to 100 ppm.

We performed seed germination tests to investigate the effects of seed sowing orientation on germination viability on peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) sprouts. Specifically, we assessed the influence of seed sowing orientation on germination rate, seedling weight, and seedling length, as well as the seedling vigor index. The seeds were sown in oak tree sawdust at 3.0 cm depth. Four seed orientations were tested: vertical with the hypocotyl end down, vertical with the hypocotyl end up, horizontal with the hypocotyl end down, and horizontal with the hypocotyl end up. The mean seed germination percentages of the four seed orientations were significantly different (p < 0.01) and ranged from 25 to 91.7%. The vertical orientation with hypocotyl-end-down and hypocotyl-end-up orientations showed the highest (91.7%) and lowest (25%) germination rates, respectively. The vertical orientation with the hypocotyl end down produced the heaviest (4.9 g) seedlings and the longest hypocotyls (4.65 cm). This orientation also produced the longest true leaf + epycotyl (2.15 cm) and had the highest seedling vigor index (197.1). The seedlings had a straight growth pattern, whereas seedlings from seeds sown with the hypocotyl up had an awkward plumular hook shape. Taken together, to produce peanut sprouts, we recommend placing the seeds vertically with the hypocotyl end down because this orientation leads to a high germination rate, high biomass production, and high overall seedling quality.

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.

This research was carried out to investigate seed germination and growth of the perennial plant Apocynum lancifolium under different NaCl concentrations, with a view for future cultivation on reclaimed land. Initial characterization revealed that the average length and weight of A. lancifolium seed pods was 133.6 mm and 0.23 g, respectively, and the thousand-grain weight was 0.59 g. Upon examining the effects of light on seed germination, we found germination to be 1.7% higher under light conditions (90%) than under dark conditions (88.3%). In terms of the response to salt stress, we found that 90% of seeds germinated in the 0.00%, 0.25%, and 0.50% salt treatment groups. Although salt treatment up to a concentration of 0.5% was found to have little effect on seed germination, the rate of germination decreased at higher concentrations and was completely inhibited in the 2% treatment. We also established that germination rates were higher in seeds sown in horticultural topsoil than in the coarse sandy soil found in the plant's natural habitats. Although the growth of A. lancifolium tends to decrease with an increase in salt concentration, we found that the stem thickness, fresh weight, and dry weight of A. lancifolium seedlings subjected to 0.25%-1.0% salt were comparable to those of the control seedling that were not exposed to salt. Furthermore, in contrast to those plants subjected to 2.0% salt, these plants continued to grow and remained viable.

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.

본 연구는 발아율이 낮고 발아가 불균일할 뿐만 아니라 발아소요기간이 긴 고로쇠나무 종자의 발아율 및 발아속도를 향상시키고자 PEG를 이용한 priming 처리를 실시하였던 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 수분퍼텐셜을 0, -0.25, -0.5, -1.0, -2.0MPa로 각각 조절한 PEG 용액에 3일 동안 침지시켜 priming 처리한 고로쇠나무 종자는 무처리구에 비해 priming 처리구에서 발아율, 평균발아일수, 발아속도 및 발아균일지수가 향상되었다. 특히, -2.0MPa 처리구에서는 가장 높은 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 priming 처리는 무처리구에 비해 휴면율이 낮게 나타나 휴면타파에 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. Priming 처리가 종자발아 뿐만 아니라 유묘활력에도 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 priming 처리 후 발아된 종자로부터 생장한 유묘를 대상으로 상대생장율 및 T/R율을 조사한 결과 -2.0MPa 처리구의 유묘에서 상대생장율은 가장 높고 T/R율은 가장 낮은 것으로 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과로부터 -2.0MPa의 수분퍼텐셜에서 3일 동안 priming 처리하는 것이 고로쇠나무 종자에 있어 가장 합리적인 종자처리 방법이라 할 수 있었다.
