This experiment was conducted to explore the cultural method capable of raising of picked cotton ratio and more high-yielding in the middle part of Korea where growth period of cotton is short. By early vinyl-mulching culture, emergence date was earlier, flowering and boll opening were shorter than non-mulching, especially boll opening date was earlier about 8 to 15 days. Plant height was longer by vinyl-mulching, fruiting branches and number of bolls per plant at vinyl-mulching of the 10th April produced more twice than non-mulching of the 10th May. Picked cotton ratio was 79% at non-mulching of the 10th May, while viny-mulching of the 10th April produced most of picked cotton as picked cotton ratio 99%. At vinyl-mulching of the 10th April, lint yield increased more 76-90% than non-mulching. Staple length was some longer and also content of linolenic acid of cotton seed oil was higher than non-mulching.

Artificial pollination (AP) and gibberellin A4+7 plus benzyladenine (promalin) were applied alone and together. AP was applied at 10% flowering time with 'Senshu' pollen (Malus domestica cv. Senshu). 12mg/L promalin was applied at 0, 10 and 20 days after falling of central flowers, respectively. In promalin treatment with or without AP application methods, fruit length, weight and length/diameter (L/D) were higher than those of control and AP. However, in AP and AP+ promalin application, the number of seeds and seed weight were higher than those of control and promalin. In AP+ promalin treatment, 78.6% fruits showed their uniform fruit shape and so significantly enhanced fruit uniformity compared to other treatments. Also cortex and core thickness of fruits were greater at the apex than that of other treatment. Fruit with L/D ratio over 0.87 were highly produced by applications of AP+promalin and promalin than control and AP only. 'Fuji' apples in good shape can be produced by using of AP + promalin together.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of nutrient solution concentration, irrigation frequency on growth, flowering, and cut flower longevity of Dendranthema grandiflorum (Ramat.) Kitamura 'Shuhouno-chikara' hydroponically grown in perlite media. Not only stem length but also mineral contents of each plant organ in nutrient solution culture were much higher than those in soil culture. 1/2S of nutrient solution was good at early stage, but 1S of nutrient solution was better as chrysanthemum growth progressed. Among different concentrations of nutrient solution, mineral contents of each plant part showed no significant difference. 1S treatment of nutrient solution increased the vase life by 3 days than 2S treatment. The growth and mineral contents of each plant organ were great in plants irrigated 8 times a day, because of high moisture contents of medium and high water availability, followed by more frequent nutrient replenishment near roots. There was no correlation between nutrient solution concentration and vase life of cut flower grown in nutrient solution culture. Cut flowers irrigated twice per day had the longer vase life than other treatments (4, 8 times).

Fourteen hundred and one landraces of sesame cultivated in Korea were collected and evaluated for their major agronomic characters and yield potential under conditions of May 15 sowing, 50\timesl5cm planting density and 4-3-2 kg/l0a of N-P_2 $O_{5}$-K_2 O application in Suweon in 1977. Seventy nine percent of the collection had white seed coat color, and 29% was brown. One capsule type with two rooms-four cells was 75%, one capsule type with four rooms-eight cells was 20%, and three capsule type with two rooms-four cel1s were 5% of the varieties collected, But, two one-capsule type varieties with three rooms-six cells were also found. Days to flowering from emergence were long in the varieties collected in the central northern area, but short in the varieties collected in the southern area. Number of capsule per plant was more in the central northern varieties than in the southern varieties. Number of branch per plant was more in the one capsule type varieties with two rooms-four cells than in the three capsule type varieties with two rooms-four cells and in the one capsule type varieties with four rooms-eight cells. There were significant corelations between number of capsules per plant and grain yields in the one capsule type varieties with four cells. Grain yields had significant correlation with number of capsules per plant and number of branches per plant.

These studies were carried out to find out the proper plant spacing and the optimum amount of nitrogen for maximum yield, on the occasion of early planting with creen vegetable (soybean for cook with rice) at the low temperature in early spring. The plant spacing were applied in 5 levels (50cm$\times$5cm, 50cm$\times$10cm, 40cm$\times$10cm, 30cm$\times$10cm and 30cm$\times$20cm) and the amount of nitrogen were applied in 4 levels (non, standard, twice and triple-amount), The triple super phosphate and potassium chloride were applied only in standard amount. The promotion of flowering was practised by the short-day treatment for 10 days (11 hr. a day). The variety examined was the early maturing one, HOKKAI # 1. and the results are as follow. 1. The plant spacing for maximum yield by the promotion of branch, pod and garin per a plant recognized the fact that there were 2 levels (50cm$\times$10cm and 30cm$\times$20cm planting method) and the maximum yield by the promotion of pod and grain per area showed the fact that there were 2 levels (50cm$\times$5cm and 30cm$\times$10cm planting method) in narrow planting method. 2. The optimum amount of nitrogen applied for maximum yield of pod and grain per area recognized w hat was sufficient as standard amount.

In order to investigate the changes and characteristics of biochemical metabolic substances of soybean tissue culture during the cultural period, immature cotyledons were detached form the plant on 15th days after flowering and cultured in vitro for 3 weeks. The cultures were classified into embryogenic(EC) and non-embryogenic callus(NEC). A part of the EC lines were subcultured for another 3 weeks and classified into root forming(RFC), and shoot forming cultures(SFC). Another part of the EC lines were used for isolation of protoplasts, which were subsequently cultured in vitro for 4 weeks. The cultures were classified into embryogenic(PEC) and non-embryogenic callus(PNEC) derived from the protoplasts. The cultures of EC and PEC lines showed higher phenylalanine content and lower methionine content than those of NEC and PNEC. At organ differentiation stage, both cultures showed the content of aspartic acid decreased, while the other amino acids increased as a whole. The protein pattern analysis of the cultures revealed that EC and NEC lines contained distinctive polypeptides, with mass of ca. 18KD for EC and ca. 22KD for NEC respectively. The EC and PEC lines also showed high activity of peroxidase isozyme A(piA), while the RFC and SFC lines showed that of peroxidase isozyme B(piB).

The flowering season of jujube (Zizyphus jujuba var. inermis (Bunge) Rehder) is overlaps with the rainy season and the abnormal weather conditions in Korea, thereby affecting pollination, fertilization, and fruit setting. We studied the pollinating activities of Apis mellifera L. and Bombus terrestris L. in rain shelter houses and their effects on fruit setting, with the ultimate aim of stabilizing fruit setting in Z. jujuba. A. mellifera and B. terrestirs were used for pollination in jujube orchard in the rain shelter house for approximately 55 days from June 1, 2016, to July 25, 2016. The peak time of the rate of outgoing and incoming A. mellifera was recorded in the afternoon. However, the diurnal activity of B. terrestris was constant between 09:30 and 17:30 h. The rate of jujube fruit set on current shoots by A. mellifera and B. terrestirs was 10.2 and 8.9%, whereas that in plots with no pollinators was 5.5%. Therefore, using pollinator in the rain shelter house in jujube orchard is effective in promoting jujube fruit setting.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of embryo age, growth regulators, low temperature treatment on regeneration, plant growth, and heading in immature embryo culture of Barley. Shoot and root development was more in older than in younger excised embryos, and more in a medium without kinetin than in one with kinetin. The rate of survival was higher on medium without growth regulators and lower on medium with kinetin 5 mg/L because of retarded plant growth. Embryo age and media did not completely replace low temperature treatment. Twenty- and 14 day-old embryos responded by flowering after 4 weeks of vernalization. Embryo culture at 14- and 20 days after anthesis coupled with 4-week cold treatment shortens generation time of barley. When 20 day immature embryos of barley (cv. Olbori) was treated low temperature treatment for 4 weeks, the rate of heading was better than the other treatment.

In order to promote the mechanized cultivation of perilla for seed, which has been increasing in cultivation area and production recently as demand increases according to the health-functional effects, we carried out this experiment to determine the optimum sowing time of perilla to minimize the seed loss at harvest and increase the yield. We used two different types of perilla varieties, 'Sodam(small-branch)' and 'Deulsaem(multi-branch)', and the sowing time was June 15, June 30, July 15 and August 1. As the sowing time is late, days of growth from sowing to flowering were shortened, and they were shortened from 14, 26 and 31~32 days on June 30, July 15 and August 1 as compared with June 15, respectively. And, the stem length and culm diameter were shortened or tapered and the number of nodes tended to decrease. The number of effective branch was 82%, 61% and 56% on June 30, July 15 and August 1 as compared with June 15, respectively. Accordingly, it seems to make against in securing the yield from July 15. And, the lowest cluster height was generally shorter as the sowing time is late, and the height was below 15cm on July 15 and August 1. It seems that this may work against the machine harvest. There was a high degree of significance between the sowing time and the yield. Although, the total yield was not statistically significant among June 15, June 30 and July 15, the ratio of shattering seed at harvest was in order of July 15, August 1(30.3%)> June 15(15.3%)> June 30(13.5%). Therefore, the net yield except for shattered seed was higher in order of June 30${\geq}$ June 15> July 15> August 1. This tendency was characteristic regardless of variety and sowing method. And, the protein content in perilla seed increased as the sowing time was delayed, and the content was the highest on August 1. The content of crude fat was relatively high on June 15 and July 15 in 'Sodam', and June 30 and July 15 in 'Deulsaem', respectively. And, the content of linolenic acid was found to be the highest on August 1. As a result, the optimal sowing time for machine harvest of perilla for seed is about June 30. At this time, it is determined that the sowing time is the most suitable to be advantageous in increasing the yield of perilla seed, while minimizing the seed loss due to the shattering at harvest.
