Common thistle contains water-soluble substances that are phytotoxic to neighboring plant species. A series of aqueous extracts from leaves, stems, roots and flowers of common thistle (Cirsium pendulum Fisch.) were assayed against alfalfa (Medicago sativa) seedlings to determine their allelopathy, and the results showed highest inhibition in the extracts from flowers and leaves, and followed by stems, and roots. The extracts at 40 g dry tissue $L^{-1}(g\;L^{-1})$ applied on filter paper in a Petri-dish significantly inhibited root growth of test plant by 87%. Methanol extracts at 100 g $L^{-1}$ from leaves inhibited root growth of alfalfa and barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) by 89 and 98%, respectively. Hexane and ethylacetate fractions of common thistle reduced alfalfa root growth more than did butanol and water fractions. Incorporation into soil with the leaf residues at $100g\;kg^{-1}$ inhibited shoot fresh weights of barnyardgrass and eclipta (Eclipta prostrate) by 88 and 58%, respectively, showing higher sensitivity in grass species. These results suggest that common thistle plants had allelopathic potential for eco-friendly vegetation management, and that especially their activities were differently exhibited depending on plant part.

Greenhouse and laboratory studies were conducted to determine the allelopathic potentials of extracts or residues from sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. (Lam). The extracts applied on filter paper in a Petri dish bioassay significantly inhibited root growth of alfalfa. Aqueous leachates at 40g dry tissue $\textrm{L}^{-1}$ (g $\textrm{L}^{-1}$) from leaves showed the highest inhibition against alfalfa, and followed by stems and roots. Alfalfa root growth was significantly inhibited by methanol extracts of the same plants as the concentration increased. The effect of residue incorporation into soil on seedling growth of com, soybean, barnyard grass and eclipta was examined in the greenhouse, and results showed that the leaf residues at 200g $\textrm{kg}^{-1}$ by plant parts inhibited shoot dry and root dry weights of test plants by 60-80%. By means of HPLC, causative allelopathic substances present in plant parts of sweet potato "Sinyulmi" were identified as coumarin, trans-cinnamic acid, o-coumaric acid, p-coumaric acid, and chlorogenic acid. Total content of these compounds for leaves extracts were detected as the greatest amount in EtOAc fraction, especially trans-cinnamic acid was the greatest component. These results suggest that sweet potato plants have herbicidal potentials, and that their activities exhibit differently depending on plant parts.ant parts.

An efficient plant regeneration system in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) through somatic embryogenesis was established. Embryogenic callus was obtained by culture of hypocotyl segments on MS medium with 0.02mg $L^{-1}$ IAA and 1.0mg $L^{-1}$ zeatin after 45 days of culture. Embryogenic calli were converted to the somatic embryos when transferred to either MS medium without plant growth regulators (PGRs) or MS medium containing various cytokinin (BA, kinetin and zeatin). Most of the somatic embryos were developed into plantlets on MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg $L^{-1}$ kinetin. Also, secondary embryos appeared on the surface of primary embryo but they showed abnormal growth. Regenerated plantlets were transplanted to pots containing vermiculite and perlite for further analysis.

Thirty-six Najdi ram lambs, weighing an average of 24 kg and circa 3 months old, were utilized in this trial to evaluate the effects of various alfalfa hay particle lengths in the diet on growth performance, digestion coefficients, nitrogen retention and carcass characteristics. Lambs were randomly allotted to three dietary treatments: 9.5 and 14 mm diets, where alfalfa hay was processed to 9.5 and 14 mm particle lengths, respectively, mixed with 3 parts of concentrate and pelleted as a total mixed ration (TMR), and long hay diet, where one part of loose alfalfa hay (17.8${\pm}$2.4 cm) was offered in combination with 3 parts of only-concentrate pellet. All dietary treatments were homogeneous in their ingredient composition. All lambs were slaughtered after a 14-week feeding trial. Although the results showed no significant effect of hay particle length on DMI, TDN and DCP, lambs fed the 9.5 mm pelleted diet had higher (p<0.05) final body weight, ADG, gain efficiency and nitrogen retention than lambs fed the 14 mm and long hay diets. Altering the particle length of alfalfa hay in diets did not affect the digestibility of DM or CP, whereas digestibilities of ADF and NDF were 3.7% and 5.4% higher (p<0.05), respectively, for the long hay diet versus the 9.5 mm pelleted diet. Hot carcass weight, percentage of separable lean from the $9-11^{th}$ rib joint, and percentages of protein and EE in the separable lean increased (p<0.05) as the particle length of alfalfa hay in the diet decreased. Under the conditions of this study, the reduction of particle length in the TMR played an important role in enhancing performance without altering DM consumption, and this may lead to more efficient productivity of lamb fattening compared with longer chopping lengths.

녹엽단백질 조제 원료 목초중 diphenol 및 polyphenolase의 측정결과 alfalfa에는 존재 하지 않고, Italian ryegrass, red clover, sorghum 에는 존재가 확인 되었다. 이러한 목초로부터 단백질 추출은 용매를 물만으로 한것과 물에 환원제를 첨가한 것을 사용하여 갈변단백질과 갈변방지단백질을 조제하여Wistar계 숫컷 흰쥐에 14일간 급여하여 체중증가량, 소화율, PER에 대하여 조사하였다. 그 결과 alfalfa 녹엽단백질의 경우 갈변단백질과 갈변방지단백질 간에 증체량, 소화율, PER은 차가 인정되지 않았다. Italian ryegrass 녹엽단백질의 경우 갈변단백질과 갈변방지단백질의 경우 소화율에서 유의차가 인정 되었다. 그러나, 체중증가량, PER은 차가 인정되지 않았다. red clover 녹엽단백질의 경우 갈변단백질이 소화율, 증체량, PER은 갈변단백질 보다 유의하게 저하 하였다. 이러한 것은 녹엽단백질의 영양가가 갈변반응에 의해 손상 되어 지고 원료 목초중의 diphenolase 활성이 높을수록 갈변반응에 의해 영양가의 저하가 현저하였다. 녹엽단백질의 아미노산 조성은 갈변에 의해 거의 손상 되지 않았지만, red clover 녹엽단백질의 경우 lysine, histidine 이 조금 감소 하였다. 녹엽단백질의 아미노산 손실은 갈변에 의한 것이 아닌 것으로 생각되어지고 유효성 아미노산에 대하여 금후 검토를 요하는 과제이다.

Several wild plant species are known to contain biologically active substances that are allelopathic to weed species as well as antioxidant to foods. Plant extracts or residues from leaves of 4 species, Achyranthes japonica (speedwell), Cucumis sativus (Cucumber), Trifolium repens (white clover), and Vicia angustifolia (narrowleaf vetch) were bioassayed against Medicago sativa (alfalfa) or Echinochloa crus-galli (barnyard grass) to determine their allelopathic effects, and used for measurement of antioxidant activities. The aqueous extracts applied on filter paper significantly inhibited root growth of alfalfa. Aqueous extracts or residues from V. angustifolia showed the most inhibitory effect on alfalfa or barnyard grass seedling growth and followed by A. japonica and T. repens. Oxidative stability by Rancimat method, antioxidant activity by TBA (2-thiobarbituric acid) method and DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity for the ground samples or methanol extracts were the greatest in V. angustifolia, although were less than those of commonly used antioxidants, BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) and ascorbic acid. These results suggest that the wild plant species had potent allelopathic and antioxidant activities, and that their activities differed depending on plant species.

본 연구는 기후요인과 토양요인이 알팔파 건물수량에 어느 정도 영향을 미치는지를 기여도로 평가할 목적으로, 기상변수와 토양물리성변수를 고려하여 일반선형모형으로 수량예측모델을 구축하였다. 알팔파 수량예측모델 구축과정은 알팔파, 기상 및 토양자료수집, 가공, 통계분석 및 모델구축 순이었다. 수량예측모델은 알팔파와 양적자료인 기상변수를 선택하기 위한 다중회귀분석과 질적자료인 토양물리성변수도 고려하기 위해서 일반선형모형을 사용하였다. 그 결과 DMY에 영향을 미치는 기상변수는 적산온도와 생육일수이었으며, 토양물리성변수는 점토함량이 선택되었다. DMY에 영향을 미치는 변수별 기여도는 점토함량(63%), 적산온도(21%) 및 생육일수(11%)순 이었으며 요인별 기여도는 기후요인(적산온도, 21%와 생육일수, 11%)이 32%, 토양요인(점토함량)이 63%로 나타나 토양요인이 기후요인보다 알팔파 건물수량에 더 기여하는 것으로 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 이용한 알팔파 자료는 토성, 시비수준 및 품종이 제한되어 있어 앞으로 이들 요인을 고려한 다양한 조건의 재배실험을 통하여 보다 많은 자료축적이 요구된다.

In order to reveal the aluminum (Al) stress tolerance mechanisms in alfalfa plant at low pH soil, a proteomic approach has been conducted. Alfalfa plants were exposed to Al stress for 5 days. The plant growth and total chlorophyll content are greatly affected by Al stress. The malondialdehyde (MDA) and $H_2O_2$ contents were increased in a low amount but free proline and soluble sugar contents, and the DPPH-radical scavenging activity were highly increased. These results indicate that antioxidant activity (DPPH activity) and osmoprotectants (proline and sugar) may involve in ROS ($H_2O_2$) homeostasis under Al stress. In proteomic analysis, over 500 protein spots were detected by 2-dimentional gel electrophoresis analysis. Total 17 Al stress-induced proteins were identified, of which 8 protein spots were up-regulated and 9 were down-regulated. The differential expression patterns of protein spots were selected and analyzed by the peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) using MALDI-TOF MS analysis. Three protein spots corresponding to Rubisco were significantly down-regulated whereas peroxiredoxin and glutamine synthetase were up-regulated in response to Al stress. The different regulation patterns of identified proteins were involved in energy metabolism and antioxidant / ROS detoxification during Al stress in alfalfa. Taken together, these results provide new insight to understand the molecular mechanisms of alfalfa plant in terms of Al stress tolerance.

A series of aqueous extracts and residues from leaves, stems, roots, pods and seeds of Korean black soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) were assayed against alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) to determine their allelopathic activities through petri-dish and greenhouse experiments, and the results showed highest inhibition in the extracts or residues from the seeds, and followed by pods. The extracts of 40g dry tissue $\textrm{L}^{-1}$ applied on filter paper in petri-dish bioassay significantly inhibited root growth of alfalfa, and especially extracts from seeds and pods reduced root length of alfalfa more than those from leaves, stems, or roots. Plant height, root length, shoot and root dry weights of barnyard grass were reduced significantly by residue incorporation of seeds and pods as the incorporated amount increased. These results suggest that black soybean plants had herbicidal potential, and their activities were exhibited differently depending on plant parts.

To understand the adaptability of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) to chilling stress, we analyzed the antioxidative mechanism during seed germination. The germination rates of six alfalfa cultivars were studied comparatively at $10^{\circ}C$. Xinmu No. 1 and Northstar were selected as chilling stress-tolerant and stress-sensitive cultivars for further characterization. After chilling treatment, Xinmu No. 1 showed higher seedling growth than Northstar. Xinmu No. 1 exhibited low levels of hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxidation compared with Northstar. In addition, shoots in Xinmu No. 1 treated with chilling showed higher activities of the superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and catalase than those of Northstar, whereas Xinmu No. 1 showed higher APX activity in roots that Northstar. These results indicated that high antioxidation activity in Xinmu No. 1 under chilling stress is well associated with tolerance to chilling condition during germination.
