  • Soybean sprouts have good digestibility, high isoflavone content compared with soybean seeds, and large amounts of aspartic acid, which is effective in eliminating hangovers. However, the region between the cotyledon and hypocotyl in soybean sprouts appears purple, the product value of soybean sprouts reduces. To date, the scientific correlation among factors such as growth temperature, spray water temperature, and cultivation periods for soybean varieties related to purple color expression between the cotyledon and hypocotyl of soybean sprouts are unknown. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors regulating the expression of purple color between the cotyledon and hypocotyl of soybean sprouts. Of 15 Korean soybean varieties with purple color in the hypocotyls and flowers, 9 varieties, including Sowonkong, Wonhwang, Sinhwa, Eunhakong, Pungsannamulkong, Paldonamulkong, Kwangankong, Shingang, and Jangki showed purple color between the cotyledon and hypocotyl of sprouts. However, the remaining six cultivars, including Dachae, Myeongjunamulkong, Sobaeknamulkong, Sojinnamulkong, Anpyeong, and Jonam, did not show purple color. The proportion of soybean sprouts with purple hypocotyls was the lowest at $26^{\circ}C$ and there was no significant difference at the other three cultivation temperature conditions ($17^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, and $23^{\circ}C$). Similar to the results of the cultivation temperature experiment at five different spray water temperatures ($10^{\circ}C$, $17^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, $23^{\circ}C$, and $26^{\circ}C$), the proportion of soybean sprouts with purple hypocotyls was the highest at the lowest spray water temperature ($10^{\circ}C$), and lowest at the highest temperature. Additionally, there was no purple color expression in soybean sprout hypocotyls on the $3^{rd}$ day after soybean sprouting. However, the highest expression level was observed on the $4^{th}$ day. Then, on the $5^{th}$ day, the proportion of soybean sprouts with purple hypocotyls reduced significantly, compared with that on the $4^{th}$ day. The results showed that interaction among these factors under cultivation conditions was remarkably effective for the expression of purple color in hypocotyls under the dark condition. These results suggested that cultivation temperature and spray water temperature for purple color expression in soybean sprout hypocotyls are the most important factors in the sprout cultivation environment.

  • The concentration of free PAs in the cells was decreased gradually from $500{\mu}mole$ to $290{\mu}mole$ for PUT, from $153{\mu}mole$ to $79{\mu}mole$ for SPD, from $69{\mu}mole$ to $20{\mu}mole$ for SPM during the ABA treatment within 1 hour, and was slightly changed with the increasing or decreasing between $290{\mu}mole{\sim}220{\mu}mole$ in the constant content level of PUT during the continuously ABA treatment of 2 days in the young cotyledons. The concentration of free PUT was gradually decreased from $160{\mu}mole$ to $9{\mu}mole$ during the ABA treatment within 1 hour like as cotyledons, and decreased from $9{\mu}mole$ to $5{\mu}mole$ during the continuously ABA treatment 2 days in the young hypocotyls. PUT and other PA were existed $5{\mu}mole$ during the continuously ABA treatment of 2 days in the hypocotyls. It showed that during the ABA treatment was decreased all PA concentration in the cells and PAs were not concerned directly to stress, but might regulated physiological change against stress.

  • Cadmium was transported through the special carrier system into the cells of cotyledons, hypocotyls, and roots spring radish young plants. The transport of cadmium was inhibited by metabolic inhibitor, like DNP. The $K_m$ values for cadmium were 0.7 ppm for cotyledons, 1.72 ppm for hypocotyls, and 0.3 ppm for roots, and $V_{max}$ for cadmium was $40ppm{\cdot}h^{-1}{\cdot}g{\cdot}fresh\;weight^{-1}$ for cotyledons, $313ppm{\cdot}h^{-1}{\cdot}g{\cdot}fresh\;weight^{-1}$ for hypocotyls, and $606ppm{\cdot}h^{-1}{\cdot}g{\cdot}fresh\;weight^{-1}$ for roots. Cadmium cannot prove to be inducer for proline accumulation. Therefore, proline accumulation cannot be used as a marker to test the level of heavy metal pollution.

  • The responses of soybean seeds were evaluated to accelerated aging and gamma irradiation with regard to germination, seed leakage, seed leachate component and dry weight of hypocotyl and primary root of the germinating seed. Accelerated aging significantly reduced the final germination rate while gamma irradiation increased the final germination rate. Furthermore, the interactive effects occurred that the final germination rate of 5-day aged seeds increased considerably in response to 4 Gy of gamma irradiation. The extent to which the electrolyte was leaked from the seeds (conductivity) was significantly affected by accelerated aging and showed a close negative correlation with the germination rate. Gamma irradiation, however, did not significantly affect the electrical conductivity of seed leachate. The accelerated aging significantly increased the concentrations of the particular electrolytes leaked from the seeds while the gamma irradiation did not affect those concentrations. Of the electrolytes leaked from the seeds, Ca and Mg showed relatively lower concentrations while K showed greater concentrations than others. Moreover, N and P showed similar responses to aging treatment. Aging treatment significantly affected dry weight (DW) of hypocotyls and primary root. Also, gamma irradiation decreased DW of hypocotyls and primary root, particularly for 8 Gy associated with 5 days aging treatment. The data were discussed in terms of the relationships of seed vigor with aging treatment and gamma irradiation.

  • The contents of sucrose and reducing sugars of cotyledons and hypocotyls of Ricinus communis L were increased slightly during cold treatment at $4^{\circ}C$. The concentration of total amino acids was increased continuosly during cold treatment. But the contents of hydrophilic amino acids, Asp/Asn, Glu/Gln, Thr, Ser, Ala and cationic amino acids, Arg and Lys were varied dramatically with the cold treated time. The cold treatment induced 24, 52, 54, 55, 56 and 73.5kD of proteins in cotyledons and 55, 56 and 73.5kD of proteins in hypocotyls. 24, 42, 49 and 52kD of proteins in cotyledons and hypocotyls were boiling stable. They were not denatrated by boiling at $100^{\circ}C$.

  • Hypocotyls explants of melon seedling were cultured on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium supplemented with 1 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) and 0.5 mg/L benzyl aminopurine (BA) for 6 weeks to produce somatic embryos. In somatic embryos produced through intervening bright yellow friable (BYF) from the explants, somatic embryos with two-cotyledon (26%) and horn-type cotyledon (74%) were observed. The procambial strand of cotyledons was originated from circular procambial tissues of lower hypocotyls. The circular procambial independently divided into two procambial strand at the edge of cotyledonary-node, and then connected to each cotyledon to form somatic embryos with two-cotyledon. When cotyledon was horn-type, the circular procambial strand in lower hypocotyls would continuously remain connected to the cotyledon. However, somatic embryos with two or horn type cotyledon formed an abnormal shoot apex without the tunica-corpus structure or dome shape in the inter-cotyledonary area. These results demonstrated that the variation of cotyledon in somatic embryos was closely related to procambial tissue differentiation and shoot apical formation.
