The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of new materials with forest topsoil for hydroseeding measures that is environmentally and ecologically stable revegetation measures on rock cut-slopes. Field hydroseeding experiment was used with a completely randomized design at highway rock cut-slopes in April, 1997. Results obtained in this study were summarized as follows: Particle size distribution of 3 mixed-soil materials that consisted of forest topsoil, decomposed granite soil, compost, sludge, and bottom ash did not show a significant difference. As appending the amount of forest topsoil, soil bulk density was increased. Soil hardness was slightly increased in early period, and then decreased with the flourishing of plants. The number of individuals increased, more than $3,000seedlings/m^2$, after 1 month, and it was decreased as time passes because of competition between the seeded species and the naturally emerged species. In addition to the seeded species, seeding plot has more than 6 species (Rubus crataegifolius, Eleusine indica, Erigeron canadensis, Lycopersicon esculentum var. cerasiforme, etc.) per $m^2$ were naturally appeared in the first year. From the viewpoint of species diversity promotion, the capability of using forest topsoil as seed bank sources was high. In order to apply in the field, the investigation and analysis of topsoil availability (quantity and quality of seed source, soil texture and organic composition) should be carried out before-hand.

The main objectives of this study was to characterize physicochemical properties, oxidative stability and sensory property of perilla oil obtained by various roasting temperature and time. Roasting temperature of perilla seed was conducted from $150^{\circ}C\;to\;210^{\circ}C$ at the increment of $20^{\circ}C$, and roasting time was 10, 20 and 30 min. Yield of perilla oil was increased as the roasting temperature and time were increased. The content of linolenic acid, a major fatty acid in perilla oil, was 60%. There was no differences in fatty acid composition upon the roasting conditions. Unsaturated fatty acid was contained more than 88% of the total fatty acids. Contents of phosphorus in perilla oils were decreased as the roasting temperature and time were increased. Phosphorus contents were significantly decreased at $190^{\circ}C$ for 30 min and $210^{\circ}C\;for\;20{\sim}30$ min. Tocopherol contents were unchanged at the roasting conditions of present study and gamma-tocopherol was shown to be the major tocopherol. Sensory evaluation of perilla oil roasted in various conditions showed significant differences in taste, color, flavor and palatability. The perilla oil roasted at $190^{\circ}C$ for 20 min had the best palatability.

The protein content of seed meal were examined to evaluate genotypes of higher protein content from 164 peanut germplasms. The variations in amino acids content were investigated from nine Korean leading varieties grown at five locations. Amino acids contents of protein fractions were also ana lysed in the present study, too. The results of the study were summarized as fallows. The seed protein of 164 peanut varieties averaged 24.5% ranging from 19.5% to 28.7%, showed 9.2% varietal variation in proteins. Differences were not observed in protein content between plant types, however, protein contents were higher in small-seeded than large seeded varieties. The differences were more greater particulaly in Spanish type varieties. The varieties introduced from Taiwan and Philippine showed higher protein contents, and the cultivars or lines bred in Korea and introduced from Japan were lower in protein contents. protein contents showed non-significantly negative correlations with 100-kernel weight and pod weight per plant, but positive correlations were observed between oil and protein content in all types of peanuts. Significant differences among the varieties and locations were observed for total, essential and non-essential amino acids contents, and aspartic acid. Locational differences for arginine, lysine, methionine, threonine, glutamic acid, glycine and tyrosine, and varietal difference for phenylalanene were revealed as significant. The limiting amino acids from the leading varieties were isoleucine, methionine, threonine, alanine and tyrosine, comparing with FAO recommanding levels of amino acids. Among the protein fractions prolamins was the highest in total amino acids, but essential amino acids was the highest in globulins

Objectives: Present study was undertaken to investigate the crystal growth onto synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) seeds in pH 4.3 and pH 7.0 supersaturated solutions with different fluoride concentrations. Materials and Methods: 8 groups of pH 4.3 and 7.0 calcium phosphate supersaturated solutions were prepared with different fluoride concentrations (0, 1, 2 and 4 ppm). Calcium phosphate precipitates yield crystal growth onto the HA seed surface while solutions flow. For evaluation of crystallizing process, the changes of $Ca^{2+}$, $PO{_4}^{3-}$, $F^-$ concentrations of the inlet and outlet solutions were determined. The recovered solid samples were weighed to assess the amount of minerals precipitated, and finally determined their composition to deduce characteristics of crystals. Results: During the seeded crystal growth, there were significantly more consumption of $Ca^{2+}$, $PO{_4}^{3-}$, $F^-$ in pH 4.3 solutions than pH 7.0 (p < 0.05). As fluoride concentration increased in pH 4.3 solution, $Ca^{2+}$, $PO{_4}^{3-}$, $F^-$ consumption in experimental solutions, weight increment of HA seed, and fluoride ratio in crystallized samples were increased. There were significant differences among the groups (p < 0.05). But in pH 7.0 solution, these phenomena were not significant. In pH 7.0 solutions, analyses of crystallized samples showed higher Ca/P ratio in higher fluoride concentration. There were significant differences among the groups (p < 0.05). But in pH 4.3 solution, there were not significant differences in Ca/P ratio. Conclusions: Crystal growth in pH 4.3 solutions was superior to that in pH 7.0 solutions. In pH 4.3 solutions, crystal growth increased with showed in higher fluoride concentration up to 4 ppm.

We studied the genetic impact of natural regeneration practices, such as Single seed tree, Group seed tree, Patch clear cutting and Alternate strip clear cutting systems, by comparing the nuclear microsatellite(nSSR) variation of post-practice natural regeneration one-year old seedlings of Pinus densiflora to that of pre-practice mature trees. The levels of genetic diversity of seedlings (A=13.6, $A_e$=4.3, $H_o$=0.571, $H_e$=0.597) were similar to those of mature trees (A=13.4, $A_e$=4.3, $H_o$=0.596, $H_e$=0.598) and the differences in the level of genetic diversity between seedlings and mature trees for each of the practices were not statistically significant. The degree of genetic differentiation between seedlings and mature trees was very low ($F_{ST}$=0.002) and the pairwise $F_{ST}$ values between seedlings and mature trees for all practices were less than 0.01. Overall, the natural regeneration practices appeared to have only minor impacts on the genetic diversity and the genetic composition in the studied P. densiflora stands. For a better understanding of the genetic effects of natural regeneration practices, subsequent studies such as temporal genetic variation of seedlings formed by crossing among post-practice mature trees should be considered.

This study has intended to disclose the change of some chemical compositions of Ginkgo seeds which were acquired the treatment of cold-moist-stratification after collection. As check sample, the room-stored seeds were used. With the reasons that when the seeds not stratified were sown the delay of field germination has usually been resulted, the effectiveness of stratificaation in respect to alteration of chemical composition is to be investigated. The increase and decrease of growth promoting and inhibiting substances were investigated by means of chromatography method followed by rice seedling test or wheat coleoptile straight-growth test. The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. In the untreated seeds, the zone of growth inhibitors on paper chromatograph were observed without regard to the tissue differences, embryo, endosperm and seedcoat. 2. Due to stratification, the amount of inhibitor has decreased in the embryo and seed coat, but growth promoters was decreased as compared with the check materials 3. The indications of results appear that each portion of the embryo, endosperm, and seedcoats of Ginkgo biloba L. contains the growth in hibitor taking part in germination dormancy. 4. It was presumed that hastening germination was influenced by decreasing of inhibitors in the embryo and seed coats rather than by increasing of promoters. 5. Gibberellin was detected at Rf 0.26 under the UV-lamp and the abscisic acid was detected at Rf 0.62, Rf 0.70, and Rf 0.78 and showed purple, gray, blue fluorescence respectively under the UV-lamp.

In biological systems, the mineral that forms hard tissue is of an apatitic nature, and hydroxyapatite($Ca_5OH(PO_4)_3$: HA) is generally considered as the prototype for such a mineral. Thus, the precipitation of HA, having biological implications, has been the subject of several investigations. Crystal growth studies using HA seeds in supersaturated solutions have enhanced our understanding of the process and mechanism involved in seeded crystal growth. From these studies, it has become apparent that the precipitation rate of HA onto the seed crystals depends on the various conditions, especially on the additives. The relation between the supersaturated solution containing fluoride and the process of HA crystal growth enhances the understanding of mechanism of HA crystal growth. Until recently, the studies have been on the crystal growth of enamel minerals and synthetic HA seeds in the supersaturated solution containing 1~2 ppm fluoride. The purpose of the present investigation is to study the effect that fluoride of high concentration has on the crystal growth kinetics of HA. In order to produce the composition found in the secretory enamel fluid, experimental solutions of 1mM Ca, 3mM P, and 100mM Tris as background electrolyte were used. Then this experimental solutions were added to 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ppm fluoride. The effect of fluoride at high concentrations on the precipitation was examined in a bench-top crystal growth model adopting a miniaturized reaction column. Chemical analysis was employed for characterization of working solutions before and after the experimentation. Remarkable findings were : 1) the amount of crystal growth was gradually accelerated as the fluoride concentration increased until 6 ppm, but decreased in 8 and 10 ppm fluoride; 2) the amount of fluoride ion consumed in crystal formation was constant despite the increase in fluoride concentration.

Cold storage of concentrated food phytoplanktons is a useful technique in supplying food organisms for artificial shellfish seed. One month after preservation at $4^{\circ}C$, we have measured survival rate of the concentrated food phytoplanktons, Pavlova lutheli, Isochrysis galbana, Isochrysis aff, galbana and Chaetoceros calcitrans. Thereafter we determined survival rate of oyster lavae fed fresh and concentrated diets and fatty acid compositions of the fresh and concentrated food phytoplanktons. Survival rate of concentrated planktons ranged from $23\%$ to $31\%$ after one month at $4^{\circ}C$. The survival rate of oyster larvae fed cold stored food appeared generally higher than those fed fresh harvested food. Especially, the highest survival rate were found in the larvae fed cold stored concentrated I. aff. galbana. EPA and DHA increased after cold storage and the highest level of DHA was detected in I. aff. galbana. As DHA can role as an important factor in determing nutritional value, it would be better to use concentrated I aff, gaibana kept in cold refrigerator for oyster seed production.

"Boram" is a new $F_1$ hybrid of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) with early maturing, high yield and high oleic acid. This cultivar was developed from the cross between Mokpo-CGMS (male steile line) and 8634-B-1-3-1-8 (restore line) for the production of edible oil and biodiesel in 2006. Yield trials were conducted from 2007 to 2008 and regional adaptation trials were examined at four locations in 2008. "Boram" has green and parted leaf, yellowish flower, and black seed coat. The ripening period of "Boram" is similar to "Sunmang", but 3 days faster than "Tammiyuchae". The average seed yield of the regional adaptation trials was 424 kg/10a, which was 11 and 48% higher than "Sunmang" and "Tammiyuchae" variety. Total oil content of "Boram" was 44.2%. In fatty acid composition, "Boram" has no erucic acid. However, oleic acid content is 68.5%, which is 3.7 and 5.4% higher than "Tammiyuchae" and "Sunmang". And total glucosinolate content was 2.27mg/g. Therefore this variety is recommended as a leading variety at southwestern areas including Jeonnam, Jeonbuk and Kyeongnam provinces and Jeju island of Korea.

The nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium contents are the key factors to determine the quality of organic fertilizers and right amount of application for agricultural uses. The major nutrient contents in raw materials used for making organic fertilizers and products were evaluated in this study. Among the raw materials that were investigated, soybean cake gave the highest total N content at $76g\;kg^{-1}$, followed by perilla cake ($70g\;kg^{-1}$), rape seed oil cake ($66g\;kg^{-1}$), cotton seed cake ($54g\;kg^{-1}$), and rice bran ($22g\;kg^{-1}$). We investigated 43 organic fertilizers and our results showed widely varied concentrations of major nutrients : total N at $30.5-139g\;kg^{-1}$, total $P_2O_5$ at $2.3-96.3g\;kg^{-1}$, and total $K_2O$ at $0.1-29.3g\;kg^{-1}$. Our study would like to emphasize the importance of nutrient content labeling in packed organic fertilizers to be able to know its efficiency and for determining the right amount for application.
