Effects of media and plant growth regulators on the germination of somatic embryos of Angelica tree(Aralia elata Seem.) was studied for the mass production of Angelica tree through tissue culture. MS medium was found to be the most effective for the germination of somatic embryos(65% germination rate), Among the MS medium, the medium containing 25% less inorganic salts and 1% less sucrose was found to be the most effective. Gelling agent with 0.2-0.3% gelrite promoted the germination of somatic embryo$(65{\sim}70%)$ and caused good growth of shoots and roots. 0.1 mg/l of BA and kinetin treatment caused $65{\sim}70%$ germination rate of somatic embryos and good growth of shoots and roots, and resulted in high percentage of dry matter. 1mg/l or 5 mg/l treatment of putrescine, and 10 mg/l treatment of spermidine caused 90% germination rate of somatic embryos and good growth of plant organs, and inhibited vitrification of regenerated plants.

A field experiment was carried out to investigate the sulfur effects on yield, growth and nutritive qualities of soybean in the different fertilizer application methods. Ammonium sulfate and super-phosphate were applied to the soil with levels of 0, 2, 4, and 6Kg S/10a and potassium sulfate, ammonium sulfate and thiourea were applied by foliar application with 2KgS/10a. The results obtained were as follows; 1. Grain and dry matter yield of soybean were increased by the increase of sulfur application and sulfur application showed positive effect on yield components. 2. Sulfur application increased the sulfur content and decreased N/S ratio in grain of soybean. 3. Protein content was increased by raising sulfur application up to 4Kg S/10a. Sulfur application influenced on amino acid composition of soybean protein. Cysteine and methionine contents were increased by sulfur application. 4. Lipid content of soybean grain and inorganic ion absorption by soybean plant were not influenced significantly by sulfur application. 5. In application effects, there was no significant difference among sulfur fertilizers, but foliar application was more effective than soil application.

The population of actinomycetes in paddy soils, with hay compost and inorganic fertilizer had been applied respectively was investigated. Actinomycetes were isolated by using selective medium and the population densities of actinomycetes in paddy soil was examined. The population of actinomycetes were reached at a range from $2.1{\times}10^6$ to $7.4{\times}10^7$ per gram of the soil. The composition of actinomycetes flora changed considerably after hay compost applied. The significant positive correlations between the organic matter content in paddy soil and the actinomycetes populations were given at 1.38 to 2.69 level. According to the result of several morphological observation, similar strains isolated were classified into 21 groups. More detailed taxonomic characterization were carried out on the isolated strains. Therefore, 15 groups of Streptomyces and 6 groups of non-Streptomyces were classified into actinomycetes isolates, percentage of streptomyces and non-Streptomyces strains were 87.2% and 12.8% in the isolated 250 actinomycetes strains respectively. Streptomyces with sporophore of the spiral chain form accounted for 80% of all the Streptomyces isolates. Surface morphology of spores were determined with the electron microscope, three species have a spiny surface, and 13 strains have a smooth spore surface.

This study was carried out to find out favorable soil conditions to give good quality of Scutellaria baicalensis George for Korean medicine. The samples were collected from the 7 fields of An-dong gun and Eui-sung gun. The plants were grown under soils of different physicochemical properties and the available constituents from their roots were analyzed by HPLC. The average N, P, K contents in roots was determined to be 0.28-1.26%, 0.17-0.46% and 1.00-1.49%, respectively. The baicalin contents of root was determined to be 11.41-14.76% (An-dong gun) and 13.67-16.31% (Eui-sung gun). The contents of N, P in root were negatively correlated with the contents of exchangeable cations (K, Ca, Mg), clay and organic matter in soil, whereas it was not significant with the contents of total nitrogen and available phosphorus of surface soils. The baicalin contents was positively correlated with the exchangeable potassium contents in soil, but negatively correlated with nitrogen and phosphorus contents in the root of Scutellaria baicalensis George.

Objective: An experiment was conducted to evaluate dietary supplemental trace mineral source and deletion on mineral content in tissues. Methods: Weanling crossbred pigs (n = 144; 72 barrows and 72 gilts; body weight [BW] = $7.4{\pm}1.05kg$) were used. A basal diet was prepared, and trace mineral premix containing either inorganic (ITM) or organic (OTM) trace minerals (Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn) was added to the basal diet. Pigs were blocked by sex and BW and randomly allotted to 24 pens for a total of 6 pigs per pen, and fed a diet containing either ITM or OTM supplemented at the 1998 NRC requirement estimates for each of 5 BW phases (Phase I to V) from 7 to 120 kg. The trace mineral supplementation was deleted for 6, 4, 2, and 0 wk of Phase V; regarding nutrient adequacy during this phase, the indigenous dietary Fe and Mn was sufficient, Cu was marginal and Zn was deficient. Results: At the end of Phase IV, Mn content (mg/kg on the dry matter basis) was greater (p<0.05) in heart (0.77 vs 0.68), kidney (6.32 vs 5.87), liver (9.46 vs 8.30), and longissimus dorsi (LD; 0.30 vs 0.23) of pigs fed OTM. The pigs fed OTM were greater (p<0.05) in LD Cu (2.12 vs 1.89) and Fe (21.75 vs 19.40) and metacarpal bone Zn (141.86 vs 130.05). At the end of Phase V, increased length of deletion period (from 0 to 6 wk) resulted in a decrease (linear, p<0.01) in liver Zn (196.5 to 121.8), metacarpal bone Zn (146.6 to 86.2) and an increase (linear, p<0.01) in heart Mn (0.70 to 1.08), liver Mn (7.74 to 12.96), and kidney Mn (5.58 to 7.56). The only mineral source by deletion period interaction (p<0.05) was observed in LD Zn. Conclusion: The results demonstrated differential effects of mineral deletion on tissue mineral content depending on both mineral assessed and source of the mineral.

This study was conducted to clarify the effects of the different concentration of the nutrient solution on the early growth and the nutritional contents of hydroponically grown Aster koraiensis, Hemerocallis fulva and Plantago asiatica at 70 days after transplanting in perlite culture. Balanced nutrient solution formulated by Japanese Horticultural Experiment Station was used as the standard concentration of the nutrient solution. Overall plant growth of Aster koraiensis and Hemerocallis fulva such as plant height, stem diameter, number of loaves, fresh and dry shoot and root weight were significantly increased in 1.5 times concentration of nutrient solution. Shoot and root fresh and dry weight of hydroponically grown Plantago asiatica were significantly increased in the higher concentration of the nutrient solution, however, number of loaves and root length were significantly increased in the standard and the lower concentration of the nutrient solution. The highest contents of calcium, magnesium and sodium in plants were shown in Aster koraienxis which were grown in the 1.5 times concentration of nutrient solution, and Hemerocallis fulva and Plantago asiatica in 0.25 times of that. The contents of potassium in Aster koraiensis and Hemerocallis fulva were significantly increased when the plants were grown in the 0.5 times concentration of the nutrient solution, and that in Plantago asiatica in the 1.5 times concentration of the nutrient solution. The contents of phosphoric acid in plants as affected by the different species of Namul and the different concentration of the nutrient solution were not significant.

To understand the geochemical processes in the Han River Estuary, distributions and behaviors of nutrients, dissolved organic matters, and uranium were investigated and analyzed during estuarine tidal mixing in June 2000 and February 2001. The distribution of inorganic nutrients showed very dynamic distributional patterns implying an apparent nitrification process and a concave non-conservative mixing along the salinity gradient. Dissolved organic carbon was high in the upstream region and decreased sharply in the low salinity region of around 5 psu. The 3-D fluorescence characteristic of dissolved organic matter showed two distinct fluorophores in the study area. Biomacromolecules originated mainly from the indigenous biochemical processes and geomacromolecules from terrestrial humic materials. In the study area, the distribution of geomacromolecule showed a concave non-conservative property along the salinity gradient presumably due to the flocculation and removal processes in the estuary. Meanwhile, distribution of the dissolved uranium, mainly in the form of stable uranium carbonate complex, also showed a concave non-conservative property along the salinity gradient in the Han River Estuary. From this study, the removal rate of dissolved uranium in the Han River Estuary was estimated to be about 7.1 ton per year.
