Tubers(4-5cm diameter) of Zantedeschia 'Black Magic' were used to study the induction of flowering in GA₃ soaking times and concentration. The GA₃ soaking were 10 seconds and 30 minutes at the GA₃ concentrations of 50, 100, 250, and 500 mg·L¹. The time to emergence in GA₃ treatment were 1.1~4.0 days shorter than control Growth characteristics were good in GA₃ treatment but that was no significance in GA₃ soaking time and concentration. When GA₃ soaking time and concentration were increased, days to flowering was shorter, but flower stalk length, flower stalk width, flower length, flower width were no difference. The number of flower per tuber was most as 4.0~4.3 in 250~500 mg·L¹ GA₃ concentration and that was about 2 times compared to control. The normal flower ratio and bulb enlargement were similar compared with GA₃ soaking time and concentration. GA₃ 250~500 mg·L¹ treatment is necessary for improvement of number of flowers per bulb.

Gibberellin (GA) treatment on fruit stalk was effective in fruit growth but reduced the shelf life of fruit. This study was carried out to improve the shelf life of GA treated fruit. Fruit characteristics were surveyed according to the treatment part and concentration of polyamine in 'Whangkeumbae', 'Yeongsanbae', and 'Chuwhangbae'. GA was treated on fruit stalk at 30 days after flowering and 100, 200, and 300 ppm of polyamine were sprayed on leaves of fruit cluster and canopy at 7 day before harvest. In GA treated fruit, fruit weight was heavier as $10\%$ and fruit hardness was lower as $0.3\~0.5\;kg$ than control in all cultivar, but sugar content and palatability were no difference in each treatment. In morphological characteristics, the distance from pith to epidermis of GA treated fruit was faraway as $42.0\%$. Fruit hardness and palatability of 'Whangkeumbae' was good in the leaves spray on the fruit stalk with 200 ppm and the leaves spray on the canopy with 500 ppm at 30 day after harvest. 'Yeongsanbae' and 'Chuwhangbae' showed the same to the result. So we knew that the effective treatment to improve the storagibility after GA treatment on fruit stalk was the fruit stalk leaves spray with 200 ppm because it needed small amount of polyamine.

This study was carried out to discuss the influences of the different fertilizer levels and plant densities on the flowering and balling in cotton in Mokpo Branch Station, Crop Experiment Station in 1991. The cotton flowered 67% before Aug. 25 which is the limit date of picked-cotton harvest, and the ratio of flowering for stalk-cut cotton was 30%. The 1.5 times fertilizer levels and the 70cm row density had more flower buds, flowers and bolls per m$^2$ than any other treatment plot. The crop growing was bad in dense planting due to the nutrient deficiency. The flowering ratio to flower bud was about 70%, and the balling ratio to flower numbers was about 48%. The bolling ratio was lower in the case of more flower number. The shedding ratio of flower buds was about 30% in average and showed increasing tendency by dense planting. It was observed that the higher ratio of bud shedding tended to accompany with shedding the lower ratio of boll shedding.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of plant growth regulators on the growth and development of pot 'Pinto Rose' and 'Pinto Scarlet' geraniums. Plant height was increased by $GA_3$ treatments in both 'Pinto Rose' and 'Pinto Scarlet' geranium. However, the number of branches was not affected by $GA_3$ and daminozide treatments. The combined treatments of $GA_3$ and daminozide delayed the days to first flowering in 'Pinto Scarlet' geranium. Also, in 'Pinto Rose', $GA_3$ or the combination of $GA_3$ and daminozide treatments delayed the first flowering time. 'Pinto Scarlet' geranium was more sensitive to growth regulator treatments than 'Pinto Rose'. The number of flower stalks and branches were increased by uniconazole in 'Pinto Scarlet', while the flower stalk length and canopy diameter were severely decreased by uniconazole treatments in both cultivars. The days to first flowering tended to be delayed by all growth retardant treatments in geranium.

This experiment was conducted to determine the influences of growth stage, stalk position and growth environment on duvatrienediols(DVT-diols) and cis-abienol production in Nicotiana tabacum L. The leaves of plants at transplanting stage contained very small amount of duvatrienediols and cis-abienol. Comparing leaves on different stalk position at flowering stage, upper and middle leaves contained more DVT-diols and cis-abienol than lower leaves. Plants grown under controlled environmental room at 3$0^{\circ}C$ contained more DVT-diols and cis-abienols than room at 18$^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$ and glass room. Tobacco plant grown under field condition produced lower levels of duvatrienediols and cis-abienol contents than glass room-grown plants. The amounts of duvatrienediols and cis-abienol of tobacco leaves significantly decreased after rain under field conditions.

A new hybrid, Phalaenopsis 'Pink Marble' was made by the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science, Rural Development Administration, in 2005. This hybrid was selected from self-crossed progenies of P. '21-1' (collected number) in 1999. In 2001, one line was selected based on the aspects such as flower color, leaf shape, flower stalk, and vigorous growth. Trials were conducted from 2003 to 2005 for evaluation and selection of this cultivar. 'Pink Marble' had a medium flowering habit and a dark pink spot (RHS, RPN74B) on white petal and sepal when fully opened. The number of flowers on each peduncle was 7.5, and flower diameter was 52.3 cm. The general impression of petals and sepals is a plate shape. The thick sepal could extend the long flowering time. The average length of leaf and peduncle were 16.5 cm and 6.8 cm, respectively. It had a half-erect leaf form, and was a fast-growing cultivar. This hybrid is relatively easy to clone.

This study was conducted to examine characteristics of rhizome growth and flowering of white lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) plant in Muan Hoesan-lake for collecting the basic data on the cultivation and the flowering which is growing in Muan Hoesan-lake of Jeonnam province in Korea. We have planted from the seeds and the enlarged rhizomes of the white lotus which were planted in the plastic containers on April 20 and May 4, 2008, and cultivated under rain shelter condition. Rhizome growth pattern and the flowering characteristics of the white lotus were examined on September 4, 2008. Main rhizomes of the white lotus propagated by the seeds and the enlarged rhizomes were branched by 10% and 15%, respectively. Numbers of nodes in the bloomed and non-bloomed rhizomes of the white lotus were over 14 and below 11, respectively. Flower was not observed in the white lotus when propagated with seeds, however, flowers came out up to 80% by the enlarged rhizomes. First flowers were bloomed from the late July and to the early August, and the number of flowers were 4.0~4.4. The first flower stalks without branching of the main rhizome were emerged in 8.8th node, however, that with branching were 8.0th node. Time to flowering from the emergence of flower stalk on the above-ground parts were required 16 days. White flowers from the lotus were 15.3 cm in height and 28.2 cm in width, their longevity was 3.3 days and the averaged flower fresh weight was 29.2 g. The results conclude that optimum number of nodes on the main rhizomes for blooming the white lotus flowers should be over 8 nodes before the rhizome enlargement.

Experiment was performed to investigate the effect of light intensity on growth and flowering status of Korean native Dianthus superbus var. longicalycinus, Sedum middendorifianum, Hemerocallis aurantiaca, Iris ensata var. spontanea and Aquilegia buergeriana var. oxysepola for effective landscaping. Number of floret and flower stalk per a plant were markedly increased under full sun(about 100,000lux), and decreased with decreasing light intensity in all tested plants. This result indicate that it will be cultivated in the open for promote landscaping values. However, leaf area and plant height were more increased under half sun(22,000lux) than open(100,000lux) or shade(7,700lux) in all plants except Sedum middendorifianum. Especially, Hemerocallis aurantiaca had same number of shoot and leaf size, even if planted under shade condition to show a wide adaptation to various light intensities.
