The present experiments were conducted to investigate the variability of hypocotyl elongation among the major soybean varieties by checking several conditions. The results obtained are summarized as follows. The rate of hypocotyl elongation is the highest during the day from 3.0 to 3.5 after seeding. It follows that it may be reasonable to evaluate the hypocotyl elongation of soybean seeds by comparison of hypocotyl length. And the tested 15 major cultivars could be classified as follow ; long ; Eunhakong, Janggyungkong and Bokwangkong, medium ; Namhekong, Dangyung-kong, Danyubkong, Milyangkong, Dugyukong, Paldalkong, Mangunjoseng, Namchunkong and Seal kong, short ; Gwanggyo, Begunkong and Jangbegkong. The hypocotyl elongation in small seed is longer than large seed. Correlation coefficients(r) for the relationships between 100 seed weight and hypocotyl elongation is -0.2506$^{**}$. As the rising temperature, the hypocotyl length is elongated, and longest at the range of 30 to 35$^{\circ}C$. The effects G $A_3$ hastened the hypocotyl elongation of soybean seed, and ABA, Kinetin and BA inhibit it, and that of those in short hypocotyl cultivars are higher than long hypocotyl cultivars. Hypocotyl length of long hypocotyl cultivars are longer than that of short hypocotyl cultivars under high temperature pre -treatment.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the variability of hypocotyl elongation of mungbean varieties. With four mungbean cultivars, which were classified as 4234-697 and Keumsungnogdu(long), Nampyungnogdu(Medium), and Seonhwanogdu(short), hypocotyl elong-ation was measured 4 to 6 days after seeding in paper towel at different temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30, and 35$^{\circ}C$). Hypocotyl elongation of mungbean seed stored at 5$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$ for 6 months was compared with of seed stored at room temperature. As the temperature rises, the hypocotyl is longer. The hypocotyl elongation started immediately at high temperature, and longest at the range of 30 to 35$^{\circ}C$. The hypocotyl elongation became longer at the 5$^{\circ}C$ storage plot than at the room temperature plot. Correlation coefficient (r) between 100 seed weight and hypocotyllength are not significant.

This study was attempted to evaluate the combining effect of HBR (homobrassinolide) with the known growth regulators such as GA (gibberellic acid), BA(6-benzyl aminopurine), IAA (indole-3-acetic acid), B-9 (N-dimethylamino succinamic acid) and CCC (2-chloroethyl-trimethylammonium chloride) on the growth of radish hypocotyl. A single application of HBR increased hypocotyl growth as its rates increased from 0.1 to 1.0 ppm, showing a maximum increase at 1.0 ppm. GA and BA had no direct effects on hyopcotyl growth, but IAA showed some effect as its concentration increased. However, the mixed application of HBR with GA, BA and IAA increased the length of radish hypocotyl as the concentration of HBR became higher. The mixture of HBR with GA and BA showed antagonistic reaction on radish hypocotyl growth, but synergistic effect was shown in the higher rate mixture of HBR with IAA in the range of HBR at 0.03 to 0.30 ppm with IAA at 3.0 to 10.0 ppm, but antagonistic or additive response at the mixture of low rates. An increased growth of hypocotyl by HBR was ified by CCC, showing the strong antagonistic reaction, but B-9 was not able to ify HBR's effect on hypocotyl growth.

This study was carried out to identify the treatment methods for the inhibition of lateral roots and promotion of hypocotyl enlargement using plant growth regulators for the production of high quality soybean sprouts. Inhibition of lateral root formation was not significant from the $CA_3$ and NAA treatments. From the treatment of BAP, lateral roots were not occurred at all, and hypocotyl enlargement was promoted at the low concentration of $10\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}\;and\;15\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. Promotion of hypocotyl enlargement was higher as the BAP treatment time was shorter. The optimum time of BAP treatment was 6 hours. Occurrence ratio of lateral roots were low and hypocotyl enlargement was promoted from water supply every 24 hours after BAP treatment. In the indole B treatment, lateral roots occurrence was very low with the concentration of 1.1%, which is much lower than the optimum concentration of 4.2%.

aA series of experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of plant growth regulator treatments on the growth and lateral root formation in soybean sprouts in order to establish the effective method of producing root-less or short-rooted soybean sprouts with larger diameter in the hypocotyl. Major results can be summarized as follows. 1. Soybean sprouts showed fairly uniform elongation rate from 3 to g days after imbibition with daily increase of 3.8cm. The speed of elongation of hypocotyl was reduced whereas that of root accelerated 7 days after imbibition. Lateral roots began to emerge fairly evenly from 5 to 9 days after imbibition with a daily increase of 4.4. 2. Auxins(IAA, IBA, NAA, 2,4-D) inhibited hypocotyl elongation and formation of lateral roots and increased hypocotyl diameter without influencing root length and hook diameter at higher concentrations. The dry weight of cotyledon was increased significantly as compared to that of hypocotyl and root. Among the tested auxins, 2, 4-D was the most effective. 3. BA and 4PU-30 significantly reduced elongation of hypocotyl and root and resulted in the biggest diameter of hypocotyl when treated at higher concentrations. The lowest effective concentration of BA to prevent the formation of larval gal roots was 12.5ppm. The formation of lateral roots could be completely prevented by BA and 4PU-30 treatment but kinetin, zeatin, zeatin riboside resulted in many lateral roots and increased thickness of soybean sprouts with little influence. Cotyledon deformation was found in soybean sprouts treated by 4PU-30. 4. 2, 4-D was the most effective for increasing the hypocotyl diameter while 4PU-30 was the most effective for reducing no. of lateral roots. 5. It can be concluded that among the plant growth regulators tested, BA was effective in reducing root length and increasing hypocotyl diameter. BA 12.5 ppm or 15 ppm may thus be the more practical for production of soybean sprouts. 6. ABA showed no significant effect of growth parameter, however ABA 25 ppm inhibited only no of lateral roots with little influence on the growth of seedling. 7. Ethephon inhibited the elongation of hypocotyl and root and increased hypocotyl diameter at higher concentrations. 8. The combined effect of cytokinins and ethephon was very similar to result of BA treatment alone. As the ethephon concentration increased, hypocotyl diameter and dry weight of cotyledon tended to increase.

To investigate the effect of the electrolyzed acidic water for soybean sprouts growth, the responses of characteristics of soybean sprouts were evaluated. Soybean sprouts grown by the electrolyzed acidic water showed shorter length in total body, root, and hypocotyl, etc. but they were evaluated to be increased in hypocotyl diameter and weight per sprout. Total length of soybean sprouts grown for 5 days by electrolyzed acidic water were much shorter than those by tap water. Soybean sprouts grown by tap water showed rapid growth in length even after 5 days but no more growth in length for those grown by electrolyzed acidic water. The growth of hypocotyl showed the same tendency as total length. No difference in root length among the soybean sprouts grown for 4 ~ 11 days by electrolyzed acidic water while those grown by tap water showed continuous rapid growth in length. The diameter of hypocotyl was thicker in those grown by electrolyzed acidic water than those grown by tap water and increased up 5 days. The weight of cotyledon grown by electrolyzed acidic water showed the proportional increase to the growing days but those grown by tap water showed no increase in hypocotyl weight up to 7 days, but a little bit increase after 11 days with the growth of new buds. The fresh weight per sprout was higher in those grown by electrolyzed acidic water until 7 days than tap water but it was the same weight in 11 days cultivation. The electrolyzed acidic water effected on shortening of hypocotyl and root length, thickening of hypocotyl diameter, and enlarging of cotyledon during soybean sprout cultivation.

Early emergence of watermelon seeds was markedly enhanced by SMP treatment though the final emergence percentage was not significantly influenced. Mixing ratios of 10:1:5 and 10:1:6 (seed : Micro-Cel E : water by weight) were found to be most effective in promoting the early emergence of watermelon seeds primed for 72 hrs at $25^{\circ}C$. Even though the hypocotyl elongation was slightly promoted by SMP treatment, the hypocotyl diameter remained uninfluenced. Among the cultivars tested, 'House-Ilpum' and 'Surowang' showed the best response to the SMP treatment.

The roles of RNA- and protein-synthesis and $H^{+}$ excretion in 1AA ($10\;\mu\textrm{M}$)-induced elongation were investigated using abraded hypocotyl segments of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). The response of elongation initiated about 13 min after IAA treatment. Removal of cuticle, acting as diffusion barrier for inhibitors, by mechanical abrasion of hypocotyl segments enhanced the effect of inhibitors markedly, but the degree of abrasion for the saturated effect of inhibition was different among inhibitors. The elongation induced by 1M was completely inhibited when cycloheximide ($10\;\mu\textrm{M}$) was applied to abraded hypocotyl segments as shortly as 4 min before the onset of the growth response (= 10 min after administration of IAA). Cordycepin ($200\;\mu\textrm{M}$) prevented completely 1AA-induced elongation when applied as shortly as 19 min before the onset of the growth response (=5 min before administration of 1AA). Vanadate (1 mM) inhibited both lAA-induced elongation and medium acidification via lAA-induced $H^{+}$ excretion to apoplast. Cycloheximide and cordycepin also prevented lAA-induced $H^{+}$ excretion strongly. However, inhibition by cycloheximide of lAA-induced elongation was not alleviated by acidifying the cell wall to pH 4.5. The results indicate that, a few minutes before the initiation of growih, protein synthesis is demanded for the initiation of 1AA-induced elongation and the $H^{+}$ excretion to cell wall, and that the H+ excretion, even though it may be necessary for elongation, does not seem to bring about acid growth simply through acidifying cell wall.l wall.

Effects of IAA on the elongation and cell wall hlysocidase activities were investigated in excised rape (Brassica napus L. cv. Yongdang) hypocotyl segments. IAA promoted the elongation of rape hypocotyl segments. In rape hypocotyls, the first 10-mm segments from the hook exhibited maximal elongation and the capacity of elongation was gradually decreased with increasing distance of each 10-mm from the hook. A good correlation has been obtained between the magnitude of endogenous growth and the activities of $\alpha$, $\beta$-glucosidase and $\alpha$, $\beta$-galactosidase. However, exogenous application of IAA did not seem to enhance the tissue with IAA resulted in acidification of the incubation medium. From these data, we can conclude that IAA seems to enhance elongation of the tissue segments, at least in part, by releasing hydrogen ion into cell wall, some of which may participate in the cell wall extension process, but does not seem to trigger the activation of $\alpha$, $\beta$-glucosidase and $\alpha$, $\beta$-galactosidase.
