The experiments were conducted to determine the influence of seed size and mucilaginous substance on seed germination of herbaceous peony collected from farmers' fields in Korea. No significant difference was recognized between the size of seed and the rale of germination. The maximum percentage(68%) of seed germination was obtained from the seeds with thin brown colour treated at $20^{\circ}C$. The amount of mucilaginous substances exuded from peony seeds was the highest in the seeds with black brown colour. Germination rate of peony seeds was negatively correlated with the amount of mucilaginous substance exuded from the seeds. High frequency(93%) of seed germination was obtained from the seeds which treated in the mixture(1:1) of sands and activated charcoal.

Soybeans with brown, black, and yellow seed coats were compared to total phenolic contents and antioxidant activities including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radicals. Also, 3 seed coats were examined for inhibitory activities on tyrosinase and lipoxygenase-1 on the basis of spectrophotometric and polarographic methods. Among seed coat extracts, 80% methanol extract of brown soybean seed coat showed the highest total phenolic contents ($68.9{\pm}3.29\;mg$ GAE/g) as well as exhibited potent scavenging effects on the DPPH ($IC_{50}=4.3\;{\mu}g/mL$) and ABTS ($IC_{50}=3.7\;{\mu}g/mL$) radicals. In a polarographic experiment, this extract was potentially inhibited the oxidation of L-tyrosine and L-3,4-dihydroxy-phenylalanin (L-DOPA) catalyzed by mushroom tyrosinase with $IC_{50}$ values of 12.4 and $63.7\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. It was also detected inhibition of the tyrosinase catalyzed oxidation of L-DOPA with an $IC_{50}$ value of 120.3 mg/mL in UV spectrophotometric experiment. In addition, this extract inhibited the linoleic acid peroxidation catalyzed by lipoxygenase-1 with an $IC_{50}$ value of $4.0\;{\mu}g/mL$. These results suggest that brown soybean may possess more beneficial effect on human health than black and yellow soybeans.

Extraction efficiency of colorants from red bean and black bean seed coat and its storage stability were examined according to the various extracting and storage conditions in this study. The obtained results were as follows ; The absorbance values of extracted colorants were increased with increasing extract time and temperature. pH 4 extracting was most efficient among the various pH conditions. The absorbance values of extracted colorant from red bean were increased with increasing extract time and temperature, when the extraction process was kept at $30^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$, but it were decreased with increasing extract time at $70^{\circ}C$. In the case of black bean, it were also increased with increasing extract time and temperature. pH 5 extract was most efficient among the various pH conditions. In juice extractor system from red bean, the pH 5 of the pre-treatment was more efficient than the distilled water of pre-treatment. In black beans of the short-term pre-treatment with distilled water, the colorant was extracted better than at pH 5, but above 4 hours pre-treatment was decrease in pH 5. The Methionine added as a stabilizer gave the more effect to the stability of colorant from red bean the more Methionine addition. In the case of black bean 10mmol addition of methionine was more efficient than 20mmol.

This study was conducted to compare soybean growth and yield and the degree of weed emergence according to no-tillage and conventional tillage system in two different drained paddy fields, loam of Chilgok series and silty clay loam of Deokpyeong series. In both soil conditions, the maturing time of the soybeans by the no-tillage system was two days earlier than that by the conventional tillage system. In the loam of Chilgok series, the stem length of the soybeans in the no-tillage system was 5.7 cm longer than that in the conventional tillage system. The miss-planted rate and diseased plants of black root rot (Calonectria iliacola) in the no-tillage system were 9.2% and 2.8% lower, respectively than those in the conventional tillage system. Also, the nodulation and seed yield in the no-tillage system were 32% and 13% more, respectively, than those in the conventional tillage system. In the silty clay loam of Deokpyeong series, the stem length of the soybeans in the no-tillage system was 4.6cm shorter than in the conventional tillage system. The diseased plants of black root rot (Calonectria iliacola) in the no-tillage system were 4.2% lower than those in the conventional tillage system. Also, no significant difference in the seed yield between the no-tillage and conventional tillage systems was observed. On the other hand, there was a lower occurrence of weed in the no-tillage system than in the conventional tillage system, and the income increased by 19% owing to yield increase and reduced management costs.

Normal seed tubers and plug seedlings raised from stem cutting and mini-tubers ($10\pm3$ g) were planted or transplanted on August 20,2001 in bare soil or under transparent and black polyethylene film mulches to evaluate the effects of mulch material and seedling type on the growth and tuber yield of fall-grown potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Dejima) in Jeju region. Total tuber number per plant was 4.6 regardless of mulch treatment, and direct planting seed potatoes resulted in the greatest tubers (5.14)/plant and followed by transplanting seedlings raised from cutting and mini-tubers (4.15 and 5.15 tubers/plant). Transparent and black polyethylene film mulches increased total tuber yield by 16 and 8%, respectively, and average tuber weight by 14 and 12%, respectively, compared with no mulch (21.16 t/ha and 72.2 g/tuber). Transplanting plug seedlings raised from cutting resulted in the greatest tuber yield, followed by transplanting plug seedlings raised from mini-tubers and direct planting seed potatoes.

This study was carried out to develop the methods for efficient extracting and stabilization of anthocyanin pigments in black colored soybean. The optimum solvent concentration for the highest pigment extraction from seed coat of black colored soybean was 60% MeOH with 0.1% HCl in laboratory test. The higher temperature of the solvent until $60^{\circ}C$ led to better extraction efficiency of anthocyanin. The anthocyanin extracts maintained almost its stability in strong acidity area whereas it destroyed markedly over pH 4. Also anthocyanin extracts was stable for a while under weak light condition, but it showed rapid degradation of pigment color and markedly decreased HPLC value for anthocyanin content after one month storage days. In case storage temperature and instrument, glass vessel on low temperature ($4^{\circ}C$) was good storage condition among some treatments. And C3G was more stable than other pigments.

The seed morphology of 22 taxa (12 genera) of Solanaceae in Korea was studied by stereo and scanning electron microscopy, and a detailed description of seed morphological features for all examined taxa is provided. The color of the seed is yellow to black, and the shape is reniform to circular. Its size is 0.56-4.29 mm in length and 0.38-3.20 mm in width. The largest sample was found in Datural metel, while the smallest was in Petunia hybrida. Three different surface types (verrucate, verrucate-reticulate, and reticulate) were recognized in the studied taxa. The top of the anticlinal wall produces appendages known as 'fibrils'. This projection of anticlinal wall was found to be specific to the genus Solanum (S. japonense, S. lyratum, and S. lycopersicum). The morphological features (seed shape, size, color, hilum shape, surface type, and fibrils) of the family Solanaceae in Korea are described and their systematic implications are briefly discussed.
