Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria can affect plant growth by various direct and indirect mechanisms. This study was conducted to determine the ability of some rhizobacterial strains to enhance the seed germination of Lactuca sativa (lettuce) and Raphanus sativus (radish). Seeds were inoculated using a spore suspension ($1{\times}10^7cfumL^{-1}$) and incubated in a growth chamber at $28^{\circ}C$ under dark conditions and 65% RH. Azotobacter chroococcum and LAP mix inoculation increased the plumule length of L. sativa by 1.3, 0.8, and 0.7 cm, respectively, in comparison to the uninoculated control. Pseudomonas putida showed an increase of only 0.6 cm in plumule length when compared to the control. Inoculation of A. chroococcum, P. putida, and LAP mix enhanced the seed germination rate of R. sativus, by 10, 5, and 30%, respectively, in comparison with the uninoculated seeds. The results demonstrated that the inoculation of seeds by select rhizobacterial strains showed remarkable enhancement to the radicle length of lettuce and radish seedlings.

옥수수 종자의 활력을 향상시키는 방법을 모색하기 위하여 마치종 옥수수, 단옥수수, 초당옥수수의 건전종자와 인위적으로 노화처리하여 활력이 낮은 종자를 수분함량이 50, 75, 100, 125%인 vermiculite와 섞어 $25^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 matriconditioning하였다. 처리된 종자를 토양에 파종하여 $25^{\circ}C$와 co]d test(1$0^{\circ}C$에서 7일 처리 후 $25^{\circ}C$에서 7일 처리)조건에서 종자활력을 조사하여 matriconditioning에 알맞은 vermiculite의 수분함량을 구명하였고, 또 침종시 종자의 당과 전해질의 누출량, $\alpha$-amylase 활성, DNA 및 가용성 단백질 함량을 조사하여 mariconditioning할 때 종자의 생리적인 변화를 조사하였으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 옥수수의 출아율, 출아속도, 유묘생장은 마치종 ＞ 단옥수수 ＞초당옥수수의 순으로 작았다. 건전종자가 노화종자보다 출아율, 출아속도, 유묘생장이 좋았고. $\alpha$-amylase 활성, DNA 및 가용성 단백질 함량은 높았으나 당과 전해질의 누출은 적었다. 2. Matriconditioning은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 발아할 때 마치종과 단옥수수의 건전종자의 출아율에는 영향을 미치지 않았으나 활력이 낮았던 초당옥수수 건전종자와 모든 genotype의 노화종자는 matriconditioning할 때 수분함량이 높을수록 출아율이 증가하였다. Cold test에서는 $25^{\circ}C$와 같은 경향이었으나 출아율이 더 낮았다. 3. 출아속도는 단옥수수 건전종자는 $25^{\circ}C$와 cold test에서 모두 matriconditioning의 영향을 받지 않았지만 다른 종자는 $25^{\circ}C$와 cold test에서 모두 matriconditionig 할 때 수분 함량이 높을수록 출아속도가 빨랐다. 4. 유아장과 유아중은 cold test에서 matriconditioning의 영향이 없었던 초당옥수수의 건전종자와 노화종자를 제외한 다른 종자는 모두 $25^{\circ}C$와 cold test에서 수분함량이 높을수록 유아장과 유아중이 증가하였다. 5. 종자의 당 누출량은 마치종 ＜단옥수수 ＜초당옥수수의 순으로 많았다. 마치종은 건전종자와 노화종자 모두 당 누출량이 적었다. 단옥수수는 노화종자의 당 누출량이 건전종자보다 다소 많았고, matriconditioning할 때 수분함량이 증가할수록 당누출량은 다소 감소하였다 초당옥수수는 노화종자가 건전종자보다 당 누출량이 현저히 많았으며, 건전종자는 50%, 노화종자는 100%까지 matriconditioning처리할 때 수분 함량이 높을수록 당 누출량은 감소하였다. 6. 종자의 전해질 누출량(침지액의 전기전도도)은 마치종 ＜단옥수수 ＜초당옥수수의 순으로 높았고, matriconditioning할때 수분함량이 높을수록 전해질의 누출량은 감소하였다. 7. $\alpha$-amylase활성은 단옥수수 ＜마치종＜초당옥수수의 순으로 높았다. 모든 옥수수 genotype에서 matriconditioning할 때 수분 함량이 높을수록 $\alpha$-amylase활성이 증가하였다. 8. DNA와 수용성 단백질 함량은 초당옥수수 ＜마치종 ＜단옥수수의 순으로 높았다 모든 genotype의 건전종자와 노화종자는 matriconditoining할 때 수분함량이 높을수록 DNA와 수용성 단백질 함량이 증가하는 경향이었다.

An experiment was carried out to find out the priming effects of rice seeds, Oryza sativa L. (cv. Ilpumbyeo) on. the seedling establishment and early emergence under excess soil moisture conditions. Seeds were primed by soaking in -0.6 MPa polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution at $25^{\circ}C$ for 4 days. The primed seeds were sown in soils with various soil moistures (60, 80, 100, 120, and 140% field capacity) at 17 and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. Germination and emergence rates, plumule height, and radicle length of primed seeds were higher than those of untreated seeds at any soil moisture and temperature examined. The time from planting to 50% germination ($T_{50}$) of primed seeds was less than that of untreated seeds by 0.9～3.7 days. Germination rate, emergence rate, plumule height, and radicle length were highest at the soil moisture of 80% field capacity among the soil moistures. Priming effects of rice seeds on germination and emergence rates were more prominent under the unfavorable soil moistures (60, 100, 120, and 140% field capacity) than those under the optimum soil moisture condition (80% field capacity). However, priming effects on seedling growth were greater at near optimum soil moisture compared with too lower or higher soil moistures. Therefore, these findings suggest that priming of rice seeds may be a useful way for better seedling establishment under the adverse soil conditions.

Salinity has been a threat to agriculture in some parts of the world; and recently, the threat has grown. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) may benefit plant growth, either by improving plant nutrition or producing plant growth hormones. The effects of rhizobacterial strains to attenuate the salinity stress on the germination of Chinese cabbage seeds were tested using four different concentrations of NaCl (50, 100, 150, and 200 mM). Also, PGPR strains were tested to enhance the early germination of Chinese cabbage seeds under normal conditions. Azotobacter chroococcum performed best with enhancing the radicle length of 4.0, 1.2, and 1.0 times at treatments of 50, 100, and 150 mM of NaCl, respectively. Additionally, significant differences were found in plumule length, A. chroococcum and Lactobacillus sp. showed remarkable activation either in normal or under stress conditions. Co-inoculation by three rhizobacterial strains (LAPmix) indicated synergistic effect to enhance the early germination of the seeds. The results of this study are promising for application of rhizobacterial strains that possess plant growth promoting traits to enhance the plant tolerance against salinity.

발아를 위한 MS 액체배지에서 체세포배를 1주일간 배양하다가 고형배지로 옮겨 배양하면 92%가 발아하지만 액체배지 배양기간이 길어지면 발아율이 낮아져서 4주간 배양 후 고체 배지로 옮기면 26％ 밖에 발아하지 않았다. 액체배지에서 발아처리된 체세포배는 배축과 유근의 생장은 충실하게 일어나데 일부에서는 배축에 2차배가 발생되거나 배축과 유근 기부에서 캘러스가 형성된 경우도 있었다. 주사전자현미경에 의한 관찰 결과 경정분열조직을 이루고 있는 세포는 엉성하게 배열되어 있고 제1엽원기가 발생된 경우 그 구조가 충실하지 못하여 생장이 중단되어 있으며 엽원기의 발생이 않된 경우도 있었다. 그러므로 액체배지에서 체세포배의 발아가 억제된 원인은 경정분열조직의 구조적 결함으로 경엽부 형성이 일어나지 못하기 때문으로 사료된다.

Salinity stress is an important environmental problem that adversely affects crop production by reducing plant growth. The impacts of rhizobacterial strains to alleviate salinity stress on the germination of Lactuca sativa and Raphanus sativus seeds were assessed using different concentrations of NaCl. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains were also examined to improve the early germination of Chinese cabbage seeds under normal conditions. Lactobacillus sp. and P. putida inoculation showed higher radicle lengths compared with non-inoculated radish (Raphanus sativus) seeds. LAP mix inoculation increased the radicle length of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seedlings by 2.0 and 0.5 cm at salinity stress of 50 and 100 mM NaCl concentration, respectively. Inoculation by Azotobacter chroococcum significantly increased the plumule and radicle lengths of germinated seeds compared with non-inoculated control. A. chroococcum increased the radicle length relative to the uninoculated seeds by 4.0, 1.0, and 1.5 cm at 50, 100, and 150 mM NaCl concentration, respectively. LAP mix inoculation significantly improved the radicle length in germinated radish seeds by 7.5, 1.3, 1.2, and 0.6 cm under salinity stress of 50, 100, 150, and 200 mM NaCl concentration, respectively. These results of this study showed that PGPR could be helpful to mitigate the salinity stress of different plants at the time of germination.

In order to determine the optimum harvest time for the seed production of inbreds and hybrids in silage corn, the ears of sib-pollinated 'KS5', 'KS7rhm', and 'Ga209' and cross-pollinated 'KS5' $\times$ 'KS6' (Suwon19), 'KS7 rhm' $\times$ 'KSl17' (Suwonok), and 'Ga209' $\times$ 'DB544'(Kwanganok) were harvested at the one-week intervals from 4 to 10 weeks after silking. The optimum harvest time for the seed production for 'KS5', 'KS5' $\times$ 'KS6', 'KS7 rhm', and 'KS7rhm' $\times$ 'KS117' was 7 weeks after silking considering both emergence rate and plumule growth in cold test. Although earlier harvested seeds showed similar germination rate as the seeds harvested at the optimum time at $25^{\circ}C$, their emergence rate were lower in cold test. Seed weight and $\alpha$-amylase activity of earlier harvested seeds were lower compared to those of seeds harvested at the optimum time, while leakage of total sugars and electrolytes were higher. However, the later harvested seeds showed lower germination rates at $25^{\circ}C$ and emergence rates in cold test probably due to the lower $\alpha$-amylase activity although they showed increased seed weight and reduced leakage of total sugars and electrolytes. In contrast, the emergence rate of 'Ga209' and 'Ga209' $\times$ 'DB544' in cold test increased up to 10 weeks after silking probably due to the increased seed weight and $\alpha$-amylase activity and reduced sugar and electrolyte leakages during the germination. The cross-pollinated F$_1$ hybrid seeds showed higher germination and emergence rates at $25^{\circ}C$ and in cold test, and higher plumule growth and $\alpha$-amylase activity compared to those of sib-pollinated inbreds.

This study was conducted to evaluate the drought tolerance of Japonica and Indica rice cultivars during germinating and seedling stages by using the polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution. Each 5 cultivars of Japonica and Indica were cultured from 14 days after seeding(DAS) to 21 DAS using the PEG solution in a moderate water potential (-0.63 MPa). The lengths of radicle and plumule during the germinating stage were inhibitied by the PEG treatment to about 50% and 85%, respectively. The application of PEG to the seedling of two rice types caused to inhibit the plant height and leaf age about 23 % and 10%, respectively. Shoot and root dry weights by PEG treatment were inhibited more severely in Japonica than those in Indica. The difference on delaying of leaf area expansion between both rice types was not found with treatment of PEG, while the leaf color was increased in both Japonica and Indica by 19.9% and 9.2%, respectively. The average photosynthetic ability was inhibited more in Japonica to 36.0% than did Indica to 27.9%. The stomatal conductance was severely affected by PEG treatment, and the degree was varied in both rice types, ranged with 80-85% in Japonica and 29.3-81.6% in Indica. These results indicate there is little relationship between seed germination and seedling growth under the stress of low water potential.

An efficient plant regeneration system has been developed for figleaf gourd (Cucurbita ficifolia Bouch$\'{e}$), which is exclusively used as a rootstock for cucumber. The protocol is based on results obtained from a series of culture experiments involving different parts of the cotyledons and various media. The culture of cotyledon explants was critical for the enhancement of shoot regeneration frequency. The lower parts of the cotyledon excised at the plumule base were found to display a markedly enhanced production of adventitious shoots compared to other cotyledon regions. Culture in silver nitrate-supplemented Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium was not beneficial for shoot regeneration and suppressed root regeneration. Efficient shoot regeneration was obtained on MS medium containing 1.0 $mg\;l^{-1}$ zeatin and 0.1 $mg\;l^{-1}$ indole-3-acetic acid. Regenerated shoots successfully elongated and rooted in medium containing 0.1 $mg\;l^{-1}$ 1-naphthalene-acetic acid after 10-15 days of subculturing. The plantlets were satisfactorily acclimatized in a greenhouse and grew into normal plants without any morphological alterations.
