  • One hundred winter wheat cultivars obtained from the world collections in Korea were planted in 1982. Stomatal frequency of flag leaf of these cultivars were measured, and among these 21 cultivars which showed different stomatal frequency were selected to investigate the relationship of their stomatal frequencies and other characters such as culm length, heading date and characters related to leaf. Stomatal frequency of flag leaf of 100 cultivars different significantly, ranging from 51 to 90 stomata mm$^{-2}$ for the adaxial and 35 to 65 for the abaxial surfaces of leaf. Stomatal frequency was always greater on the adaxial than on the abaxial surface. Mean ratios (adaxial/abaxial) were 1.5 for the flag leaf and 1.3 for the from second to fouth leaves. Among 21 cultivars examined, stomatal size which measured guard cell length varied from 38.5 to 46.6$\mu$ for adaxial surface and from 39.4 to 49.4$\mu$ for abaxial. A negative correlation was obtained between stomatal frequency and its size. Stomatal frequency decreased from flag (L$_1$) to lower leaves, progresively. Stomatal frequency on L$_1$ sheath was compared to those on L$_3$ and L$_4$ abaxial surface of leaf. More stomatal frequency on top and center of adaxial surface showed than that on basal part of a leaf but the abaxial surface resulted in reverse of adaxial one. Cultivars with high stomatal frequency on flag leaf showed higher stomatal frequency on the other leaves and sheaths. Positive correlation between stomatal frequency and other characters such as, culm length, heading date and chlorophyll content showed statistical significance, whearas it revealed the negative correlation of stomatal frequency with leaf weight, leaf area and stomatal aperture. However, no relation appeared between stomatal frequency and leaf vein.

  • Diurnal changes in leaf stomatal resistances were measured on leaf positions and both surfaces to investigate the stomatal response to irradiance in wheat, var. Chokwang and barley, var. Dongbori 1. Stomatal frequency and size were also determined to explain the control mechanism of gas exchanges in two species. The leaf diffusive resistances of two species decreased, as the sun rose, to minimum at 10 to 11 o'clock a.m. and increased gradually in the afternoon, even faster at sunset. As the adaxial irradiance increased, stomatal resistances decreased sensitively in the range of 30uEm$^{-2}$ㆍsec$^{-1}$ to 150uEm$^{-2}$ㆍsec$^{-1}$ quantum flux density. The stomatal opening of the abaxial surface began at lower irradiance and was completed earlier than the adaxial surface. The adaxial irradiances decreased in order of leaf position, flag, the 2nd, the 3rd leaf, and the stomatal resistances increased in the same order. Even under the same irradiance, the stomatal resistance of lower leaves were higher than those of upper leaves. The stomatal frequencies of lower leaves were less, but the stomatal size was greater than those of upper leaves. Consequently, the relative leaf area occupied by stomatal pores were constant among leaf positions in two species.

  • The good growth of Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa is shown at the foothill of the mountain where good soil moisture is available, but its growth is poor at the upper part of the mountain where soil moisture is limitted. Stomatal frequency, stomatal size and transpiration rates that affect soil moisture demand were determined in order to know how this character is inherited from its parents. Number of stomata per $mm^2$, length and width of stomata from the abaxial leaf and transpiration rate ($g/cm^2$) per day in P. alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa showed intermediate values between those of their parents, while P. alba showed the highest values and P. davidiana the lowest values. The values of stomatal frequency of P. alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa were close to the expected mean values of parents in the $x^2$ test, and in the regression analysis the transpiration rates for the hybrid and its midparent had strong relationship with 0.97 of regression coefficient. The fact that these intermediate characteristics were observed in the hybrid suggests incomplete dominance in the hybrid. It is concluded that soil moisture demand in P. alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa and its parents is closed related to stomatal frequency, stomatal size and transpiration rate.

  • Stomatal frequency and size of rice plant grown in the different silicon levels of the culture solution in phytotron were observed on both side of the 7th leaf blade. By the application of silicate, stomatal frequency and rates of stoma cell area to the leaf area were remarkably reduced in Milyang 23. It could be considered as favorable characteristics which might be reduced the transpira-tion rate from leaf surface of rice plant besides presence of cuticle-silica double layer in leaf surface.

  • The effects of abscisic acid(ABA) spraying for 12 weeks on the stomatal types and frequencies of O. malacophyllus leaves were summarized as follows. ABA inhibited the growth of O. malacophyllus. The prominent effect of ABA on the epidermal structure was the promotion of senescence such as thickness of cell walls, smooth sinuosity of cell walls, and large size of epidermal cells. The stomatal frequency was decreased to 23% by 10$\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA and to 48% by 100$\mu\textrm{g}$ml-1, and also the stomatal size was more or less smaller than that of control. The developing secondary stomatal mother cell was not found in both 10 and 100$\mu\textrm{g}$ml-1ABA, but the arrested secondary stomatal mother cell was rarely found in 10$\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA. The formation of normal stomatal types such as helico-eumesogenous and aniso-eumesogenous was found in both 10 and 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA asin well as control. Also nine abnormal stomatal types were found, and the frequencies were promoted to 6% by 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA and to 17% by 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA. Among these abnomal stomata, four types such as aborted stomata, single-aborted guard cells, arrested stomata, and modified stomatal complexes were found in control as well as in 10 and 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA, but five types such as wrenched stomata, unequal stomata, wavy guard cells, guard cells overlapped by guard cells, and dissolved cell wall stomata were found in both 10 and 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1ABA. The modified stomata complexes were abnormal stomatal types which were newly found and also were varied in types.

  • The plants of Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. NC2326 were germinated in 10 cm D$\times$20 cm H polyethylene pot, and sand-cultured with Hoagland solution near by the window of laboratory room(26$\pm$5$^{\circ}C$). The growing plants were sprayed with various concentrations of ABA around 9 : 00 a.m. once in every two days for 12 weeks in summer. As the results, frequency of stomatal number, stomatal opening, chlorophyll content, respiration rate, and protein content in the leaves were decreased with the increasing of concentrations of ABA, respectively. The plant growth was inhibited by exogenous ABA, but leaf abscission was not found during the experimental period. The ratio of three to one in chlorophyll a to b was not altered by exogenous ABA. All the stomata were closed within three minutes by 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA and within seven minutes by 1-10 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA after the spraying of ABA, and then reopended after a few hours in 1-10 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA and after 24 hours in 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA. The polar movement of chloroplast within the guard cells was found in the higher concentrations of 10 and 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA, but not found in the lower concentrations than 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA. During the night and weak light, it was fond that the inhibition of respiration rate by the higher concentration of ABA was owing to firstly the stomatal closure by the spraying of ABA and secondly the decrease of stomatal frequency by the inhibition of stomatal development with exogenous ABA for the long period of 12 weeks. In the band number of leaf protein by the electrophoresis, most of the protein bands were disappeared by the higher concentration of 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA, but were not altered by the lower concentration of ABA in comparison with control.

  • The variation of stomatal density and stomatal length of four species of oaks was studied for the purpose of examining the differences among populations and among individual trees within population. Nine populations of Quercus mongolica, four populations of Q. serrata and Q. variabilis respectively, and three populations of Q. acutissima were selected in the natural stands of oaks distributed through the whole country. Twelve leaves were sampled from each of 20 trees from each population. The length of 20 stomata and ten replications of stomatal density were measured from collodion replicas of each leaf under a microscope. Average stomatal densities and lengths ranged through $600-1000/mm^2$ and $19-26{\mu}m$ respectively in all of the species studied. The stomatal densities and lengths presented significant differences statistically at the level of 1 or 5% among populations and among individual trees within population in all the species. Quercus mongolica, especially, showed large variation among populations, while Q. variabilis did very narrow variation compared to the other species. The coefficients of variation of stomatal densities and lengths among individual trees within population exhibited small values of 3.7-12.0% and 1.4-5.3% respectively in all the populations of the species. The average stomatal densities of Q. mongolica showed statistically significant correlation of multiple correlation coefficient of $R_{df{\cdot}2.6}=0.868^*$ and multiple regression equation of $Y=0.041X_1(G.M.T.S.)+0.489X_2(G.M.H.S.)+22.37$ with the sum of growing season mean daily temperature and the sum of growing season mean daily humidity of the stand studied. However the average stomatal lengths showed no relation with the same meteological variables. The figures of frequency distribution of the measurements of leaves or the mean values of individual trees did not show normal distribution curves in some populations. The curves, as well as the results of ANOVA, exhibited the differences among populations.

  • Background: The sunfleck is an important light environmental factor for plants that live under the shade of trees. Currently, the smartfarm has a system that can artificially create these sunfleks. Therefore, it was intended to find optimal light conditions by measuring and analyzing photosynthetic responses of Eutrema japonica (Miq.) Koidz., a plant living in shade with high economic value under artificial sunflecks. Results: For this purpose, we used LED pulsed light as the simulated sunflecks and set the light frequency levels of six chambers to 20 Hz, 60 Hz, 180 Hz, 540 Hz, 1620 Hz, and 4860 Hz of a pulsed LED grow system in a plant factory and the duty ratio of the all chambers was set to 30%, 50%, and 70% every 2 weeks. We measured the photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, and substomatal CO2 partial pressure of E. japonica under each light condition. We also calculated the results of measurement, A/Ci, and water use efficiency. According to our results, the photosynthetic rate was not different among different duty ratios, the transpiration rate was higher at the duty ratio of 70% than 30% and 50%, and stomatal conductance was higher at 50% and 70% than at 30%. In addition, the substomatal CO2 partial pressure was higher at the duty ratio of 50% than 30% and 70%, and A/Ci was higher at 30% than 50% and 70%. Water use efficiency was higher at 30% and 50% than at 70%. While the transpiration rate and stomatal conductance generally tended to become higher as the frequency level decreased, other physiological items did not change with different frequency levels. Conclusions: Our results showed that 30% and 50% duty ratios could be better in the cultivation of E. japonica due to suffering from water stress as well as light stress in environments with the 70% duty ratio by decreasing water use efficiency. These results suggest that E. japonica is adapted under the light environment with nature sunflecks around 30-50% duty ratio and low light frequency around 20 Hz.

  • The epidermal structure and development of stomata in four taxa of Zingiberaceae viz: Aframomum melegueta K. Schum, Aframomum sceptrum K. Schum, Curcuma longa L. and Zingiber officinale Rosc. have been investigated. Unicellular, eglandular trichomes are observed on the epidermis of A. sceptrum and Z. officienal. Anomocytic stomata with agenous ontogeny, paracitic stomata with eumesogenous ontogeny and tetracytic stomata with mesoperigenous ontogency are recorded in Z. officinale, Aframomum species and C. longa respectively. Stomata of Z. officinale are the smallest in size (20.6$\times$14.3$\times$10.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) while those of C. longa are the largest (42.5$\times$31.5$\times$20.2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). These two taxa also recorded the highest (43.7/mm2) and lowest (28.6/mm2) stomatal frequency respectively which suggests a linear regression of frequency on size.
