Artificial pollination (AP) and gibberellin A4+7 plus benzyladenine (promalin) were applied alone and together. AP was applied at 10% flowering time with 'Senshu' pollen (Malus domestica cv. Senshu). 12mg/L promalin was applied at 0, 10 and 20 days after falling of central flowers, respectively. In promalin treatment with or without AP application methods, fruit length, weight and length/diameter (L/D) were higher than those of control and AP. However, in AP and AP+ promalin application, the number of seeds and seed weight were higher than those of control and promalin. In AP+ promalin treatment, 78.6% fruits showed their uniform fruit shape and so significantly enhanced fruit uniformity compared to other treatments. Also cortex and core thickness of fruits were greater at the apex than that of other treatment. Fruit with L/D ratio over 0.87 were highly produced by applications of AP+promalin and promalin than control and AP only. 'Fuji' apples in good shape can be produced by using of AP + promalin together.

Germination and seedling elongation of soybeans [cult. ‘Williams’] were measured at two temperatures (15 and 3$0^{\circ}C$), three seed water contents (30, 50, and 70%), and with and without polyethylene glycol-8000 (PEG) treatments. A split-plot design was used with four replications. Observations were made from two hours to eight days for each treatment combination. Seeds were soaked with 30% PEG solution with 0.2% thiram at 15 C for six days, rinsed with deionized water and dried at 25.5$^{\circ}C$ for three days. Ten treated or untreated seeds were placed on Whatman No. I (9 cm) filter paper in plastic petridishes to which sufficient deionized water was added to adjust seed moisture content to the desired level. The dishes were then sealed with parafilm and placed in a continuous programmed temperature chamber under dark condition. Seedling growth did not occur at either temperature when moisture content was 50 percent or less. Osmo-conditioning with PEG showed positive effects on seedling moisture uptake and seedling growth at 15$^{\circ}C$ but little effect at 3$0^{\circ}C$. Seedling moisture content increased rapidly early in the germination period and reached 60% at 15 C for 56 hours and at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 28 hours. Seedling growth started when seed moisture reached a critical point of 60% at 15$^{\circ}C$, however, growth started after 20 hours of germination at 3$0^{\circ}C$. Seedlings of soybeans elongated more than four times faster at 3$0^{\circ}C$ than at 15$^{\circ}C$. Water uptake during germination was characterized by two phases in this experiment.

This experiment was carried out to elucidate the effects of silicate and different application forms of N on the uptake of water and N by rice plants. Three rice cultivars, Ilpum, Anda and M202, were grown under the hydroponics in a phytotron. One-hundred ppm silica was applied for silicate treatment. For nitrogen application forms were 100% $NH_4$ and $NH_4+NO_3$ in 2:1 ratio were applied. Silica treatment, compared to silica free, was very effective on the nitrogen uptake and dry weight increase of rice plants. Although silica application demonstrated no significant effect on the amount of water uptake, it improved increased water and nitrogen use efficiency. Therefore, sufficient application of silicate in paddy field will be useful for the growth of rice plants and water saving.

Old rice showed higher initial pasting and peak viscosity temperatures than new rice. Reducing sugar contents of rice harvested in 1998 were lowest 24hr after digestion with saccharification enzyme, but similar after 36hr, among rice samples tested. Fermentation characteristics and preference of Takju made by fermenting raw rice harvested from 1998 to 2001 far 7 days were investigated. Alcohol contents during Takju brewing rapidly increased for 5 days to 17.3-18.1%, and were 17.5-18.2% on day 7, with those of Takju brewed with rice harvested in 1998 being highest in both cases. Sensory evaluation results showed Takju fermented with rice harvested in 2000 had highest sweetness, preference, and sourness, and that fermented with rice harvested in 1999 had highest sourness, but no voluntariness was shown between each other (meaning not clear). Moisture contents and gelatinization characteristics of old and new rice were slightly different, although factors adversely affecting Takju such as flavor of old rice did not appear in sensory evaluation probably because old rice was stored in rice bran farm for long times and used after milling. Results reveal surplus old rice could be utilized for Takju brewing.

This study was carried out to investigate on the change of NaCl content during the food waste composting and on the safety of food waste compost(FWC) manufactured by the non-stirrer sealed fermenter. Plant culture test with pepper crop was also performed to see the effect of FWC, which was produced by the G co. ltd., on the growth of peper and migration of NaCl in soil. The culture test was performed at the farmland in Chungnam National University. The results were as follows; the NaCl content was gradually accumulated during food waste composting process, probably through water evaporation. Sodium concentration was, however, remarkably decreased at the final stage due to the desalting effect by water which was concentrated on the ceil of the fermentor. The analysis of chemical properties and humidity parameters on the food waste compost revealed that the product is quite a good qualified one. More than 0.5 tons of FWC application on red pepper cultivation caused diminished effect on the yield and the accumulation of salts on soil.

This study was carried out to enhance germination of the seed by different immersion temperatures(15, 20, 25, 30 and $35^{\circ}C$) and times(1, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 48 hours) in Cryptomeria japonica that is a major plantation species in the southern Korea. Optimum germination temperature was between $20^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$, and the lowest germination was observed at $35^{\circ}C$ Moisture absorption increased with increasing immersion time as a whole and was high at $30^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$. Initial moisture absorption rate was highest at $30^{\circ}C$ whereas was lowest at $15^{\circ}C$ Moisture absorption rate constant was also high at $30^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$, however, it was relatively low at $15^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ Germination was the highest when the seeds were immersed for 48 hours at $30^{\circ}C$. In mean germination time(MGT) the seeds immersed for 48 hours at $30^{\circ}C$ did not differ from non-treatment, while the others showed higher values than non-treatment. Consequently, germination could be enhanced and MGT was kept by optimum immersion temperature and time.

In the preliminary experiment, the factors(soil moisture content, type of organic fertilizers, wound of ginseng, and concentration of rusty-root causing bacteria) inducing the rusty-root of ginseng were investigated. The Hue values were measured for the degree of rustiness affected by the factors. The rustiness was severe on the wounded-ginseng and on the ginseng inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens (CG20126). The Hue values of the control, the non-wounded ginseng inoculated with CG20126, the wounded-ginseng, and the wounded-ginseng inoculated with CG20126 were 113.3, 108.1, 85.8, and 57.5, respectively. The Hue value of the horticulture bed-soil was 56.8 whereas the value of the paddy bed-soil counterpart was 64.7. The Hue values on the ginseng roots grown in the soil containing 10%, 20%, 50%, and 70% of moisture, were 96.2, 85.9, 78.0, and 75.7, respectively. The organic fertilizer increased the rustiness of ginseng and the range of Hue values was 35.2-27.8. The increased concentrations of A. tumefaciens CG20126 increased the rustiness of ginseng. The concentration of A. tumefaciens CG20126 at $10^{2},\;10^{4},\;10^{6},\;and\;10^{8}cells/m{\ell}$ resulted in the Hue values of 62.8, 63.3, 55.6, and 48.8, respectively.

To develop health food using old pumpkin, freeze-dried old pumpkin powders were added into wheat flour in the ratio of 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8% and the quality characteristics of the baked products were investigated. Moisture content and water activity of breads with added pumpkin powders were raised from 42.22 and 0.528 in 1% addition ratio to 0.576 and 44.39% in 9% addition ratio compared to 40.69% and 0.521 in the bread of non-added, respectively and these increases were due to the effect of the added pumpkin powders. Water holding capacity of the added pumpkin powders raised the weight of the breads while the specific volume was decreased at that time. In the Hunter's color values, as the pumpkin powders content increased, 'L' and 'a' values were decreased while 'b' value was increased from ＋29.44 in 1% addition ratio to ＋45.58 in 8% addition ratio of freeze-dried old pumpkin powders compared to ＋12.65 in the bread of non-added. In the texture properties, hardness, fracturability, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness were increased by the added content of pumpkin powders hardness to 561 g in the bread withof 8% added pumpkin powders from 248 g in the bread of non-added. Judging from texture, taste and overall acceptability of the product, the recommended substitution level for freeze-dried old pumpkin powders in bread was 4% or less

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of Garaedduk with regard to the amount of added whole soybean curd (Chun-Tofu). Whole soybean curd was added in amounts of 0, 3, 6 and 9%. Whole soybean curd Topokki dduk was stored at room temperature for 48 hours. The moisture contents had no significant difference for increases in the amount of whole soybean curd. The L value and b values of Garaedduk increased significantly with increases in the amount of whole soybean curd. Texture characteristics of Garaedduk measured with a texture analyzer revealed that hardness and cohesiveness decreased significantly for different amounts of whole soybean curd, and hardness increased significantly and cohesiveness and chewiness decreased with increase of storage time. As for sensory characteristics, samples with 9% added whole soybean curd rated higher in overall acceptability compared with other samples. In regard to cooking properties, water absorption increased and solid contents decreased with increases in the amount of whole soybean curd. Therefore, Garaedduk containing 9% whole soybean curd was most preferable.
