The experiment was conducted to find changes of growth response, free proline content and organic acids on manganese chloride toxicity($4,000mg\;l^{-1}$) for germination and early growth in rice. Root growth was increased in kinetin $10^{-3}M$ compared with control and germination rate was also increased in kinetin $10^{-3}M$ as 89%. Chlorophyll contents was slightly increased in kinetin $10^{-3}M$. Free proline content at 3days in Mn $4,000mg\;l^{-1}$ was higher than at 7 and 10 days, and all kinetin concentrations promoted free proline content. In organic acids, particularly, malic acid was remarkably increased in kinetin $10^{-3}M$ compared with control and Mn $4,000mg\;l^{-1}$.

This study was cnducted ton investigate the effect of soil conditioner such as dolomite, slkudge and organic manure on changes of soil chemical properties of abandoned zinc mine area. Growth responses of Chrysanthemum azwadskii and Caryopteris incana (Tunb) Miq affected by the appication were also determined. In thejsoil of abandoned zinz mine area, total heavy metal contents espectially Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn were high and organic matter contents was low. Application of sludge for phytoremediation resulted in higher soil organic content that other treatments tested. Heavy metal concentrations after application of soil conditioners were not different among treatments. The growth of C. zawadskii and C. incana (Tunb) Miq were significantly higher in sludge treatment than those in other treatments The cholrophyll content, chlorophyll flouorescence, protein content, photosynthetic rate and transpiration were high in sludge treatment. The heavy metal contents of C. zawadskii were the lowest in sludge treatment while those of C. incana (Tunb) Miq was the highest in sludge treatment.

This study was conducted to know the difference of major characteristics between seed and vegetable perilla varieties. Perilla accessions examined were classified into two groups, i.e., seed perillla variety (saeyeopcildeulkkae, yangsandeulkkae, and younghodeulkkae) and vegetable perilla variety (ipdlkkae 1, namcheondeulkkae, and manbaekdeulkkae). The differences of growth characteristics were observed between two types of perilla varieties. The average flowering date of vegetable perilla varieties (Sep. 28) was 23 days later than that of seed perilla varieties (Sep. 5). Also, the stem height and node numbers of vegetable perilla varieties lower than those of seed perilla varieties. The average 1,000-seed weight, yield, and oil content of seed perilla varieties were higher than those of vegetable perilla varieties. However, as leaf characteristic, the leaf yield (1.8 times) and cyanidin content (2.1 times) were greater than in perilla variety for vegetable. No difference was observed in fatty acids composition between two types of perilla varieties. The average total chlorophyll content in leaves of seed perilla varieties was higher than in that of vegetable perilla varieties.

This experiment was carried out in the green house at Tokyo University of Agriculture in 1992 to investigate the relationship between lodging resistances and specific morphological characters and to examine the effects of nitrogen top-dressing and growth retardant on changes of the endogenous ethylene content in rice plant. Inabenfide did not affect significantly yield, yield component, chlorophyll content, and $CO_2 assimilation but, decreasing plant height when growth regulators were applied at booting stage, decreasing internode elongation, and increasing culm thickness and diameter of the third and fourth internode. While, nitrogen top-dressing usually showed to effect increasing vegetative growth such as plant height, tiller number, and morphological characteristics but, were not significantly affected the chlorophyll content and $CO_2 assimilation. Ethylene evolution was dramatically changed with nitrogen top-dressing and growth retardant. Application of Inabenfide at 15 days before heading inhibited ethylene evolution in the all nitrogen levels. Higher nitrogen top-dressing showed higher ethylene evolution than that of low nitrogen level. High positive correlation was detected between nitrogen application and ethylene evolution.

Harvested asparagus, Viking variety, was stored in normal and controlled atmosphere with and without ‘Butts in water’ to extend shelf life of fresh asparagus. Controlled atmosphere storage significantly reduced bacterial soft rot of asparagus. When asparagus was stored in controlled atmosphere in combination with ‘Butts in water’, asparagus spears could be stored over 3 weeks without noticeable soft rot. Texture of stored asparagus, as measured by Instron and fiber analysis, became tougher as the storage time was extended. Increase of fiber content in asparagus was significantly reduced by controlled atmosphere storage and fiber content actually decreased in asparagus stored in controlled atmosphere in combination with ‘Butts in water’. Asparagus stored in controlled atmosphere had markedly less chlorophyll destruction than that in normal atmosphere. Reflectance color values of stored asparagus were closely associated with chlorophyll content in asparagus. Considering all quality factors of stored asparagus, controlled atmosphere in combination with ‘Butts in water’ was the best storage method to maintain overall quality of harvested asparagus over 3 weeks.

This study was performed to determine the optimal time of harvest for ramie leaves with the two varieties (Seocheon Seobang and Seoncheon Baekpi) by comparison of physiological activity and physicochemical characteristics. The crude protein, minerals, ascorbic acid, folate, chlorophyll, ACE inhibitory activity and AChE inhibitory activity were determined. The amount of crude protein in ramie leaf, which was collected in Seocheon-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, grew up steadily from early May to September. The content of calcium in was higher in Baekpi than in Seobang. Seobang displayed its highest value of 3,569.90 mg% in September, while Baekpi displayed its highest value of 3,163.84 mg% in October. Although, folate and vitamin C contents in the two varieties were slightly different, they were higher as the growth date grew in October. The highest value of chlorophyll content was observed in October, which was later in the vegetative state. ACE inhibitory activity and AChE inhibitory activity appeared to be higher in Baekpi than in Seobang. Between June and August, ACE inhibitory activity was highest in Baekpi variety.

Quality evaluation and hazard management of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) which was prepared within the harvesting seasons were analyzed. Eatable weight was highest in the summer (953.40 g)>spring (912.27 g)>fall (895.28 g) lettuce, but sugar content showed the highest concentration in the spring. Total color of summer lettuce was the brightest in comparison with other seasons. Fall lettuce's color increased in yellowness more than greenness. Minerals of lettuce were abundant in the following order of K>Ca>Na>Mg>Fe in all seasons. Chlorophyll content, showing the similar trend to vitamin C, was the lowest in summer. Among the 48 different pesticides tested, only chlorthalonil was detected in a minute content from fall lettuce. In conclusion, summer lettuce was inferior to spring and fall in quality because of hot weather.

Kidneybean(Phaseolus vlgaris L.) and buckwheat(Fagopyrum esculentum M$\"{O}$nch) seedlings cultured with Hoagland solution to the height of 7 to 10cm in the earthern pot containing sand were used for experimental plants. One group of the plants was irrigated with Hoagland solution composed of various Al concentrations of 0 to 1,000 ppm containing 50ppm Ca, and the other group was irrigated with Hoagland solution composed of various Ca concentrations of 0 to 1,000ppm containing 100ppm Al for a month during June and July. By Al-surplus over 100ppm, the margins of backwheat leaves were curied down and turned into yellow-brown necrosis simialr to Ca-deficiency, and the old kidney bean leaves showed marginal and veinal chlorosis in addition to the early shedding of leaves. With Al-surplus of 100ppm the content of chlorophyll a and b in both plants was decreased by 30~40%. The ratio 3/1 of chlorophyll a/b was not altered by Al-surplus and Ca-deficienty at an early stage, but it was affected markedly at a final stage of growth. Leaf respiration with 100ppm Al containing 50pm Ca was slightly affected in buckwheat, but decreased by 20% in kidneybean. With Al-surplus of 100ppm the ATP content was decreased by 32% in the kidneybean leaves and by 80% in buckwheat leaves, whereas with Ca-deficiency it was decreased by 72% in kidneybean and by 90% in buckwheat. The rhythm of ATP level showed self-relience without being affected by light or temperature under the green house condition although by Al-s rplus and Ca-deficiency the ATP level of the rhythm was lower than that of control.trol.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics and oxidative stability of kimbugak, a traditional Korean food, made of aqueous green tea (KBG-AGT). The kimbugak was stored at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 40 day. When 5% AGT was added, the acid value and peroxide value were lower than both the control and the KBG-10% AGT. Fried KBG-AGT contained mostly linoleic acid ($C_{18:2}$), followed by oleic acid ($C_{18:1}$) and palmitic acid ($C_{16:0}$). The proportion of saturated fatty acid was higher in the control compared to both the 5% and the 10% KBG-AGT. Among the unsaturated fatty acids, monoenes only slightly decreased while polyenes greatly decreased in particular, in the control. The proportion of carotenoid and chlorophyll a was higher in KBG-AGT than both in the control and in the fried KBG-AGT. When the aqueous green tea content was increased, The content of chlorophyll a increased but that of the carotenoid did not change. The seaweed's original and after taste scored highest in the KBG-5% AGT. Overall, the KBG-AGT and the fired KBG-AGT were preferred more thant the control.

This study was conducted to compare the physiological and biochemical responses of P. orientalis and L. tulipifera in response to ozone. One-year-old seedlings of P. orientalis and L. tulipifera were exposed to 100 ppb ozone concentration for 2, 4, or 8 hr/day for 1 week. Photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and ozone uptake rate were measured daily, and chlorophyll fluorescence, carboxylation efficiency, chlorophyll content, and SOD activity were measured after 1 week. In P. orientalis, photosynthesis and stomatal conductance were not decreased in the 2h/day ozone treatment, but the L. tulipifera response was more sensitive even in the 2h/day ozone treatment. Increased treatment time decreased photosynthesis and stomatal conductance. Chlorophyll fluorescence was not significantly different among treatment times. However, carboxylation efficiency decreased with increased treatment time, and L. tulipifera was more sensitive than P. orientalis. Chlorophyll content did not differ with species or treatment time. SOD activity response was greater in L. tulipifera than in P. orientalis, increasing to $131\%$ of pretreatment observations. Therefore it was concluded that L. tulipifera was more responsive and had lower ozone tolerance than P. orientalis.
