Incidence of damping-off callsed by Rhizoctonia solani was 0.6-10.9% at "Yangjik" seedbed in Pocheon, Korea. The seedbeds where the lengths of etiolated stems (underground portion) of ginseng seedlings were 0.78-1.25 cm showed 0.8-3.2% of the disease, while 6.9-10.9% disease incidence was observed at the seedbeds with the longer etiolated stem (1.89-2.26 cm). The pathogen produced a typical girdle symptom on the etiolated portion of ginseng stems close to the soil surface. The deeper the seeds were sown, the more the disease occurred in pot soil inoculated with the pathogen, AG 2-1, showing 18.4, 27.4 and 32.9% of damping-off at the seeding depth of 1, 2 and 4 cm, respectively. Cuticle layers of colored stems (over ground portion) were well - developed to be 42.8, 58.0, and 55.0 um in thickness compared to the etiolated stems with 8.5, 15.0 and 8.0um for seedling, 2 year-old, and 3 year-old ginsengs, respectively, when the disease occurred. In the seedling and 2 year-old ginseng, the colored stems were more rigid than the etiolated. There was however, no difference in rigidness of the stem of the 3 year-old ginseng where the disease is not severe as in seedlings and 2 year-old ginseng plants.ng plants.

Results of development and activity of roots by rootstock sort of oriental melon were followed; Grafted seedlings had higher root growth than self-roots seedlings and among grafted seedlings, Shintozoa and Elite rootstocks had higher root growth. Grafted seedlings had more xylem exudate, which connects activity of roots, than self-root seedlings. Development of roots and increase of xylem exudate were better in higher temperature. Marketable yield was higher in grafted seedling and quality of fruit was higher in self-root seedling.

Abiotic stress is one of the major serious limiting factors in rice (Oryza sativa) and caused rice production losses. It is important to precisely screen valuable genetic resources for improving stress tolerance and understanding tolerance mechanism to abiotic stresses. Because there are differences of experiment designs for screening of tolerant plant in several studies related to abiotic stress, this study has performed to provide the rapid and efficiency screening method for selection of tolerance rice to drought and salinity stresses. Two week-old rice seedlings that reached about three leaf stage were treated with drought and salinity stresses and examined tolerant levels with tolerant and susceptible control varieties, and transgenic plants. To determine the optimum concentration for the selection of drought and salinity condition, tolerant, susceptible and wild-type plants were grown under three soil moisture contents (5, 10 and 20% water contents) and three NaCl concentrations (100, 200 and 250 mM) for 10 days at seedling stage. 200 mM NaCl concentration and 5% moisture content soil were determined as the optimum conditions, respectively. The described methodologies in this study are simple and efficiency and might help the selection of drought and salinity tolerance plants at the 3,4-leaf-seedling stage.

Rice and weed interference in the paddy field caused by resource competition and allelopathy. Evaluation method of active weed suppressive behavior of rice to weed was developed by eliminating light competition at soil condition. Twenty eight days old rice seedlings (6-7 leaf stage) which was grown at saturated, no drainage pot were clipped above $3\~4cm$ from the soil surface. Weeds seeded around clipped rice stem, named ratoon seeding screening method, showed varietal suppressive difference to Echinochloa crus-galli, Echinochloa crusgalli var. praticola and Monochoria vaginalis. Potential allelopathic rice varieties, Sathi, AC1423 and PI312777 showed better suppressive activity to weed seedling growth than Nonganbyeo and Keumobyeo. Weed suppression of one plant of rice cultivars could be evaluated by the cell size of $2.5\times2.5cm$ at rice clipping of seedling 29 days after rice seeding.

Seedling establishment of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is a critical factor in production system and cultural practices. The objective of this study was to identify the components of soybean seedling developments encompassing planting dates and cultivars that respond to emergence, early growth stage and dry matter accumulation. Three soybean cultivars, Hwangkeumkong, Shinpaldalkong 2, and Pungsannamulkong, were planted at Baegsan silty loam soil. Planting date was May 13, June 3, and June 24 in 2001. Sprinkler irrigation was accompanied with 30mm after seeding for three planting dates. Soybean seedlings were sampled at the growth stages from VE to V5. Days to emergence of soybean seedlings were taken 8 at May 13 and 5 at June 24 plantings. Emergence percentage was over 90 at three planting dates. May 13 planting took 33 days and June 24 planting was 25 days for reaching V5 growth stage. Cotyledon number was decreased after V2. Significant cultivar difference was found in cotyledon dry weight until V2 which differed in seed dry weights at the planting times. Leaf and total dry weights of soybean seedlings were not differed from V1 to V3 among planting dates and cultivars. Leaf water contents were generally ranged 78 to 85%. Branch was appeared from V4. Leaf/stem ratio among cultivars was similar at five growth stages and gradually increased from 2.1 at V1 to 2.8 at V5. The results based on this experiment indicated that seedling establishment of soybean was continued from VE to V3 growth stages affecting mainly by planting date and soil moisture.

Rhizobacteria are a diverse group of free-living soil bacteria that live in plant rhizosphere and colonized the root system. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) possessing ACC deaminase (ACCD) can reduce ACC and ethylene in plant tissue and mediated the growth of plants under various stresses including salt stress. ACCD decrease ethylene levels in plant tissue that produce high levels of ethylene in tissue via elevated levels of ACC under salt stress. We selected strains of Pseudomonas sp. possessing ACCD activity for their ability to promote plant growth under salt stress from soil sample collected at Byeonsan, Jeonbuk, South Korea. The Pseudomonas strains possessing ACCD increased the rate of the seedling and growth of chinese cabbage seeds under salt stress. We cloned ACCD gene from P.fluorescens and expressed recombinant protein in Escherichia coli. The active form of recombinant ACCD converted ACC to a-ketobutyrate. The in vivo treatment of recombinant ACCD itself increase the rate of the seedling and growth of Chinese cabbage seeds under salt stress. The polyclonal P.fluorescens anti-ACCD antibody specifically reacted with ACCD originated from Pseudomonas. This indicates that the antibody might act as an important indicator for ACCD driven from Pseudomonas exhibiting plant growth-promoting activity. This study will be useful for identification of newly isolated PGPR containing ACCD and exploioting the ACCD activity from PGPR against various biotic and abiotic stresses.

This pot experiment was conducted te find out the effects of kieserite application ($T_1$; control, $T_2$; standard amount of $N-P_2$$O_{5}$ $-K_2$0, $T_3$; $T_2$+ kieserite) on the seedling vigour and yield of pass/clover mixed swards on newly reclaimed hilly soil. The results obtained are summarized as follows: At the $T_1$ treatment the seedling vigour and yield of mixed forages were very poor, whereas they were remarkedly enhanced by the treatments of $T_2$ and $T_3$. Comparing with the $T_2$ treatment the forage yields were increased 3.1% in orchardgrass, 27.5% in ladino clover, and 12.8% in mixed forages by the application of kieserite($T_3$). In the grass-clover mixed swards, the application of kieserite more remarkedly influenced the seedling vigour, botanical composition, and yield of clover than those of grass.

Experiments were conducted to investigate the method to raise seedling establishment rate and the optimum seeding dates and rates in direct seeding culture using transplanter under submerged field condition in Chuncheon area during 1986 to 1988. Direct seeding on submerged field using transplanting machine after sowing on seedling growing box contained with paddy or upland soil was possible. Higher rate of seedling establishment was obtained in case of sowing sprouted seed and intermittent irrigation after sowing. Seedling establishment rate was higher both in April 30 or May 10 seeding plot. Minimum daily average air and soil temperature to ensure more than 70 percent seedling establishment was 14.8$^{\circ}C$ and 16.3$^{\circ}C$ respectively. Optimum sowing date in the direct sowing was early May and optimum sowing rate was 200g per box, 6kg per l0a. In this case rice grain yield was 481kg per l0a and this is almost same yield level compared hand and machine transplanting.

Diseases occurrence of hydroponic culture was less than that of soil culture, especially gummy stem blight, which was 39.9-53.3% of infection rate at soil culture, was not almost observed at hydroponic culture. Development of fermented fruit was higher at Shintozoa, Hongtozoa and self-rooting seedling in order at soil cultured but critically dropped at hydroponic culture without rootstock sort. Therefore proper moisture management at root zone can decrease the development of fermented fruit.

The growth of germ tube of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum was remarkably inhibited on the water agar treated with 100ppm of Fe-EDDHA, a synthetic iron chelating agent, whereas germination rate of microconidia did not show much differences compare with that of non treated water agar. Both of the germination and the germ tube elongation of microconidia were suppressed significantly in King's B agar by the bacterial siderophores produced by Pseudomonas putida. The highest germination of the chlamydospores was obtained in the soil added with $0.25\%$ of glucose plus $0.05\%$ of asparagine. The chlamydospores of cucumber wil fungus germinated about $14\%$ in rhizosphere soil of 2 day-old cucumber seedlings within 48 hours, and the germination was enhanced notably in rhizosphere soil of 10 day-old seedling. But the rates of germination was not increased according to cucumber growth age after 10 day-old seedling. The effect of P. putida and Fe-EDDHA on the germination on chlamydospores in conducive soil was not pronounced in the non-rhizosphere soil added with nutrient. However, the germination was suppressed significantly both in rhizosphere soil and in rhizosphere soil added with nutrient. The suppression of chlamydospore germination was greater in the bacteria inoculated soil than that in Fe-EDDHA treated soil.
