In order to develop a safe seeding technology for low-density transplantation, we analyzed the changes in seeding growth according to different seeding rates and seeding days. We detected changes in leaf number and shoot diameter on the 10th seeding day, and in plant height on the 20th seeding day according to seeding rate. The increase in shoot and leaf number, and shoot diameter per seeding day decreased with anincrease in seeding rate. On seeding day 20, the reductions in shoot and root dry weights according to seeding rate was lower compared with those recorded at seeding day 10. Shoot dry weight was significantly related to root dry weight, plant height, and shoot diameter. With an increase in seeding rate, seeding health decreased and there was an increase in the rate of seeding health per seeding day decreased. For low-density transplantation, the optimal number of seeds required for transplanting 3-5 plants per hill is 11,000, which is estimated to be approximately 280-300 g of seeds for 22 g brown rice. Furthermore, the appropriate number of seeding days is estimated to be 13 to 16 days, which corresponds to a small reduction in seeding health.

The allelopathic effects of aqueous extracts from Trifolium repens were studied. Aqueous extracts of leaves, stems, roots and flowers of T. repens strongly inhibited the seed germination and seedling growth of Zoysia japonica. In general, the higher concentration of the extracts showed the more great inhibition effect. The phenolic compounds extracted from T repens were analysed and identified using gas chromatography. 14 phenolic compounds were isolated from the leaves, stems, roots and flowers: caffeic acid, p-hydroxy benzoic acid, ferulic acid, gallic acid, p-coumaric acid, vanillic acid, trans-cinnamic acid, 2,5 dihydroxy benzoic acid, syringic acid, 2-hydroxy cinnamic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, phloroglucinol and phanylacetic acid. The seed germination and relative growth ratio of Z. japonica by 14 phenolic compounds were inhibited in whole treatment. Stronger growth inhibitor were benzoic acid, salicylic acid and trans-cinnamic acid. From these results it is suggested that the phenolic compounds from T. repens seemed to be responsible for the allelopathic potential.

This work was conducted to identify sweet potato [(Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.)] cultivars showing high yield and processing suitability in the Jeonbuk region of Korea. Shoot-slips (30 cm in length) of 14 cultivars were planted with a planting density of $75{\times}25cm$ on May 30, and cultivated with black film mulching. Vine elongation at 30 days after planting was significantly increased (> 90 cm) in 'Dahomi' and 'Sinhwangmi', and was excellent (> 250 cm) 120 days after planting in 'Sinhwangmi', 'Shinyulmi', 'Daeyumi', 'Jinhongmi', and 'Yeonhwangmi'. The branch number per plant showed a dramatic increase in 'Shinzami' 30 and 120 days after planting. The leaf number per plant showed the highest increase in 'Shinzami' 30 days and in 'Sinhwangmi' 120 days after planting. Total weight, mean weight, and number of marketable tubers per plant were significantly higher 150 days after planting than that 120 days after planting. Marketable tuber yield at 120 days was high, over 2.5 ton/10a in 'Daeyumi', 'Dahomi', and 'Jeonmi', and was considerably increased, from 3.2 ton/10a to 3.5 ton/10a, 150 days after planting. Total weight of marketable tubers per plant and marketable tuber yield 120 and 150 days after planting had significant positive correlations with vine length and number of nodes 30 days after planting. Starch value was significantly higher 150 days after planting than that 120 days after planting. 'Daeyumi' and 'Jeonmi' had good growth vigor, high yield, and high starch content; 'Dahomi' also exhibited beneficial traits such as good growth vigor, high yield, and bright orange-colored flesh.

Purpose : Glomerulonephropathy (GN) often manifests as proteinuria and progresses to chronic renal failure without specific therapy. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) has been tried as a therapeutic agent in experimental GN, and previous studies showed that administration of MSC concomitantly to the insult inducing GN or via intra-renal administration ameliorated proteinuria. The purpose of this study was to test the therapeutic potential of MSC administered via intravenous route at the time of clinically evident proteinuria. Methods : MSCs were administered intravenously via tail vain into the mice with adriamycin (ADR) induced nephropathy (ADR-GN), two weeks after ADR injection when massive proteinuria was evident. To test the capacity of MSC modulate the cytokine production in the inflammatory milieu, the concentrations of IFN-$\gamma$ and IL-10 were measured in the supernatant of in vitro mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) with or without additional MSC. Results : MSCs administered intravenously into the proteinuric mice with ADR-GN accelerated the recovery of this experimental GN with disappearance of proteinuria in two weeks when the saline treated (control) mice still showed significant proteinuria. The mice treated with MSC also had a tendency of better survival. Addition of MSC decreased IFN-$\gamma$ and increased IL-10 in the supernatant of MLC. Conclusion : This study showed that MSC had a therapeutic potential even when administered in a more clinically relevant setting into a proteinuric glomerulonephropathy model. Further study to verify the mechanism and long-term safety of this phenomenon is required.

Various plant growth regulators were tested for shoot proliferation of Tripterospermum japonicum, a rare and endangered species. Among the six different media tested, MS medium was the best for the shoot growth. Whereas BA, upto 3 mg/L, significantly increased shoot proliferation rate, it suppressed the rate at higher levels. Neither kinetin nor TDZ was so effective in proliferating shoots as BA. As for rooting, TDZ strongly inhibited it even at very low concentration though spontaneous rooting was frequently observed from the proliferated shoots during culture of lower concentration BA or kinetin. In contrast, shoot elongation was significantly promoted by $GA_3$. More than 90% of the proliferated plantlets could be transplanted via cuttings into pots containing artificial soil mixture where they rooted and resumed normal growth. Most of the plants bloomed to bear fruits in the following year.

It was conducted to investigate the effect of rice downy mildew (RDM) infection to plant growth and yield components in water seeding stage, and to screen of varietal resistance to downy mildew. Being infected by rice downy mildew, chlorotic spot appeared in the leaf and leaf length was shortened. As the infected rice was growing, internode was not elongated properly and was deformed, and then panicle was not arised or mal-formed. Plant height of infected rice was shortened at all growth stage, and while the number of tillers of infected rice was more decreased than that of healthy plant before maximum tillering stage, and that of infected rice was more increased after heading stage. While the number of internode of infected tiller was much increased than that of healthy tiller internode length of infected tiller was shorter. As the rice infected by RDM severely, the number of panicles per square meter and ripening of rice was more decreased and yield of rice was extremely much decreased. As result of the varietal resistance screening with rice seedling, Geyh-wabyeo and Donjinbyeo were resistant varieties to downy mildew.

밀은 세계 3대 작물로 국내 1인당 소비량은 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 하지만 국내 밀의 유전적 배경 확대와 기후변화 신속 대응을 위한 국내 밀 유전자 풀의 확장은 밀의 질적 향상을 위해 매우 중요한 목표이다. 국내 자생 갯그령(Leymus mollis)은 해안가에서 번식하는 영년생 식물로 뿌리줄기를 이용한 왕성한 번식력을 가지고 있다. 또한, 해안가의 뜨겁고 염에 대한 적응성과 저항성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 특성은 밀 유전자 풀의 확장에 매우 유용할 것이다. 국내 밀 재배지 한계 극복을 위한 간척지 재배가 가능한 내염성 강화 밀 자원 개발을 위하여 모본인 보통 밀(Triticum aestivum L., Chinese Spring)과 부본인 갯그령을 원연교배하였다. 갯그령과 보통 밀의 원연 교배를 통한 종자 형성은 매우 어려우나 불가능한 것은 아니며, 최종적으로 10개의 교배 종자를 얻어 F₁ 식물체로 생장하는 과정에서 5 식물체는 고사하였고, 나머지 5 식물체는 영년생 특성인 뿌리줄기에 의해 새로운 줄기가 출현하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 갯그령의 DNA를 이용한 genomic in situ hybridization 방법으로 F₁ 식물체에서 갯그령의 염색체가 밀의 유전적 배경에 이입된 것을 확인하였다. F₂ 식물체는 모본인 보통 밀보다 긴 수장과 간장을 나타내고 이삭 수는 많았지만, 출수기는 보통 밀보다 3주 이상 늦어지는 것을 확인하였다. 내염성 평가를 위하여 F₂ 종자를 2% 소금물에서 발아시켜 생육이 좋은 식물체를 선발하여 50 cm 투명 아크릴 원통에 이식하고 2% 소금물을 지속적으로 관개하였다. 내염성 강화 F₂ 식물체는 염에 감수성을 보인 식물체에 비하여 상대적으로 긴 이삭과 종자 형성을 보였으며, 감수성 식물체는 종자 형성이 이루어지지 않았다. 또한, 내염성 강화 F₂ 식물체는 감수성 식물체에 비하여 좋은 뿌리의 신장과 천근성을 보였다. 이러한 갯그령의 식물학적 특성이 이입된 계통은 기후변화 대응, 환경 적응성 강화, 및 근권 강화에 좋은 작물 소재로 이용할 수 있다고 생각한다.

Efficient plant regeneration system of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) was development. The factors affecting the somatic embryo formation, its proliferation and regeneration capacity of leaf and stem explants of Empire cultivar was investigated. The highest number of somatic embryos was obtained on B5 medium supplemented with 1 mg/L NAA and 1 mg/L BA. Depending on different explants, highest frequency of embryogenic callus and regeneration were observed in Empire with leaf explants. The response from stem explants was slower and callus induction was less than that from leaf explants. Regenerated shoots formed complete plantlets in on 1/2 MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L IBA. Regenerated plants were morphologically uniform with normal shape and growth pattern.

This study was conducted to investigate the application possibility of leaf and stem extract (LSE) from the mixture of leaf and stem of Panax ginseng. This study measured the general nutritional composition, aminoacid minerals contents and fatty acid composition of LSE. We conducted analysis of the ginsenoside content by HPLC and the cell cytotoxicity tests in normal liver and kidney cells. The approximate composition of LSE was 2.51% of carbohydrate 0.53% of crude ash,0.20% of crude fat and 0.15% of crude protein, respectively. LSE contained 102.56 mg/100 g of K ion and high contents of acidic amino acids such as glutamic acid and aspartic acid. In addition to this, it contained all essential amino acids. The major compositions of fatty acids were 39.99% of palmitic acid 14.96% of linoleic acid, 13.31% of docosatetranoic acid and 12.91% of linolenic acid, The total ginsenoside was 0.82 mg/mL, and ratio of PD/PT was 0.68. Negative effects were not found from the results of the cell toxicity respection. These results imply that leaf and stem of Panax gineng could be used as possible food resources and functional food material and feed stuff.
