Three malting barley cultivars, Sacheon #6, Doosan #12, and Doosan #22 were collected from Gwangsan, Chinju and Milyang which were artificially aged to provide varying levels of seed quality. Samples were evaluated by the standard germination test (SGT), cold germination test (CT), electroconductivity test and tetrazolium vigor test (TZ). In a multiple regression analysis, percent germination in the SGT accounted for 65% of the variation in field emergence of malting barley. Vigor index of the standard germination and cold germination tests also contributed significantly to the regression equation. Grain yield was predicted by the vigor index of TZ test. Percent standard germination and percent TZ germination prediction were useful for predicting grain yield in nine lots of malting barley.

This study was conducted to investigate the optimum condition of breaking dormancy and to increase the germination rate of Hovenia dulcis Thunb. seeds. Germination of seeds which did not germinate at the various constant temperature was induced by the artificial breaking of seed coat, and the germination rate of seeds which the seed coats were broken was the highest(94%) at $15^{\circ}C$. The germination rate of seed was highest when seeds were treated with concentrated $H_2SO_4$ for 40 minutes. When seeds were stored in dry condition, the germination capability was maintained up to 5 years after harvest. However, their germination rate become lowered and average germinating duration was extended. Germination rate of seeds which were stored for 5 years significantly increased by the low temperature treatment more than 30 days.

Seed coat of hairy vetch is very thick and hard, and difficult to absorb water during germination. It requires much time that cotyledon comes out from seed coat. Therefore this experiment was carried out to increase the germination rate by enhancing water absorption through water-soaking of seed, chemical scarification by sulfuric acid, and mechanical scarification on seed coat. Water-soaking for 5 hours seemed to be highly effective in enhancing germination rate. Although not significant, water-soaking resulted in increase of germination rate by 9%. Effect of soaking temperature was not significant, but early germination rate was increased to be 5.0%, 31.7% and 48.3% at $10^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. Mechanical scarification of seed coat led to a germination rate of 97% whereas intact seed showed that of 65%. Chemical scarification by sulfuric acid for 10min, 20min and 30min resulted in a germination rate of 76.7%, 74.7% and 96.0% respectively. It is clear that scarification increased germination rate.

In order to analyze the life cycle of A. artemisiifolia var. elation dormancy and some environmental factors inducing germination of the seeds were examined. The results were as follows : Dormancy of fertile seeds was broken in part within a month after seed collection in case of adequate moisture and alternating temperature was also effective in breaking dormancy. The temperature range, which allow germination was 12℃ ∼ 32℃. Optimum temperature for germination was 24℃. The seed of A. artemisiifolia var. elatior was light-independent. The difference of storage period appeared to have no particular effect on the viability of seeds at any time during the 9-month storage period. In the increasing temperature(IT) regime, A artemisiifolia var. elatior seeds started to germinate at 16℃, showing the higher temperature the greater germination rate, the final germination percentage was 99.34%. On the other hand, in the decresing temperature(DT) regime, seeds began to germinate at 20℃ with the 1.34% germination. An induced dormancy occurred at 12℃ making the 5.34% fecal germination in the DT regime. Low temperature was more effective to break dormancy than higher temperature Seeds of A. artemisiifolia var. elatior seems to be germinated in mid to late autumn or germination delayed until following spring. The above results suggest these variation of germination response in diverse environmental factors seems to be a physiological strategy to maintain their existence and to reproduce in the extreme thermal variation.

희귀식물(LC)인 낙지다리(Penthorum chinense Pursh.)는 '수택란', '차근채'로 불리며 약용으로 사용되어 왔으나, 최근 하천개수 및 습지매립 등으로 자생지가 파괴되어 개체수가 급감하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 낙지다리의 종 보존 및 활용을 위하여 종자의 최적발아조건을 확인하고자 수행하였다. 종자는 2017년 국립백두대간수목원에서 수집되어 연구에 사용되기 전까지 건조 상태(15℃, 15% RH)로 시드뱅크(-20℃, 40% RH)에 저장하고 있었다. 종자의 최적발아조건을 확인하기 위하여, 항온과 변온 66조건에서 발아율과 최종발아율의 50%가 발아하는데 소요되는 일 수(T₅₀)를 조사하였으며, 생리적 휴면 타파를 위해서 GA₃(20~1000 mg·L^-1) 처리 후 발아율과 T₅₀을 조사하였다. 그리고 GA₃ 처리에 따른 유묘 생장에 대한 GA₃의 영향을 확인하기 위하여 종자 치상 30일 후 유근·아 생장에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 낙지다리 종자는 항온보다 변온에서 발아율 증가와 T₅₀ 감소를 보였다. 특히 낮/밤의 온도 차가 11~25℃일 때, 85%이상의 발아율을 보였고, 그 이상의 온도차이가 나면 발아율은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. T₅₀은 온도차가 증가할수록 감소하여, 발아가 균일하며 빨라지는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 GA₃ 처리시 생리적 휴면 타파가 진행되어 발아율(79.8%~100%)과 발아속도가 증가(T₅₀ 감소)함을 확인하였으나, GA₃ 100mg·L^-1 이상의 농도에서는 무처리(21.2m)에 비하여 유근의 길이 생장을 0.11~6.88mm로 지연시켰다.

Germination characteristics, seedling emergence, and early seedling growth of iron-coated rice seeds, cultivars Daebo and Samdeokbyeo, under different water depths were compared with those of non-coated seeds (control) and the results evaluated to obtain basic information for establishing stable seedlings in direct water seeding. The total germination percentage of the two seed treatments was similar, but iron-coated seeds had slightly faster germination and shorter mean germination time than non-coated seeds. Water absorption rates of iron-coated seeds were lower than that of non-coated seeds during seed germination. The germination percentage of the two iron-coated rice seed cultivars showed a significant decline of 15-22% after one year of storage under natural conditions. The seedling emergence percentage and uniformity of the two rice cultivars were significantly higher in the iron-coated seeds at 1-13 cm water depths but the percentage of floating seedlings was lower in iron-coated seeds than in non-coated seeds. The iron-coated seeds had a high seedling emergence percentage of 91.3-93.3% at all flooding depths whereas the non-coated seeds had a significantly low seedling emergence percentage of 57.7-71.7% at a water depth of 13 cm. Moreover, the shoot dry weight and seedling health score of iron-coated seeds were significantly higher than those of non-coated seeds, while root dry weights were similar in iron-coated and non-coated seeds, regardless of water depth. These results suggest that iron-coated seeds are more appropriate for stable seedling establishment in direct water seeding than are non-coated seeds.

These experiments were conducted to investigate the growth and characteristics of Adenophora triphylla DC. seed, and effects of some pretreatments and light condition on the gemination of it. The results were as follows. Seed coat was soft and white at 30 days after flowering, but it became hard and brown from 40 days. The 1,000 grain weight was 247mg at 40 days after flowering and high at 50 days as 268mg, and decreased from 60 days. Germination percentage was highest at 100ppm $GA_3$ treatment for 24 hours as 96.7% and 88.3% at moistured treatment at $0^{\circ}C$ for 7 days, but only 40% at control. Adenophora triphylla. seed was light germinator, but it could be germinated 80% even under dark condition if $GA_3$ was treated 100ppm for 24 hours. The optimum temperature of germination in Adenophora triphylla. seeds was $25^{\circ}C$.
