The present study reports morphology and developmental pattern off siliquosa cultured in a laboratory condition. The zygote was spherical with a diameter of 85 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. During development the polarized zygote divided horizontally and the lower daughter cell divided horizontally into 2 cells. The upper cell was divided repeatedly in horizontal and vertical directions to form a cylinder-like structure, which subsequently developed into secondary and tertiary dichotomous branches. Optimum temperature for zygote release and fertilization was 25C. Injury inflicted by slicing was cured by epidermal differentiation, and adventitious branches; the branches emerging from the pith cells, however, developed no rhizoid. Adventitious branch formation rate was over 88% in all plates supplemented with 0.5 mg/L IAA and peaked at 98% under 0.5 mg/L IAA plus 0.5-5.0 mg/L NAA treatment. NAA stimulated the differentiation of adventitious branches at a wide range of concentrations, while IAA, 2,4-D and kinetin exhibited dose-dependent stimulation.

Dried parts of the herb medicines are difficult to distinguish morphologically. Heracleum moellendorffii cordata has often been sold instead of Aralia cordata in herbal medicine markets. Therefore, this study was conducted to develop the key for discrimination between them using the RAPD analysis and morphological characteristics. Thirty decarmer oligonucleotide primers were screened for the RAPD analysis, and four primers generated distinct RAPD markers specific to Aralia cordata, Angelica pubescens maxim f. biserrata, and Heracleum moellendorffii. The specific RAPD patterns generated by the selected primers were reproducible from dried materials. In comparison of morphological characteristics, Aralia cordata seems to be entirely developed in xylem fiber, but not developed in pith.

Dimensional variation of secondary xylem elements, such as vessel element and fiber, was investigated in root, stem and branch of Alnus hirsuta and A. firma. It is clear that vessel diameter in the root is the widest, next in the stem, and the least in the branch. Length of vessel element among them becomes, however, larger in following sequence; stem, root, and branch, whereas fiber diameter and length are the widest in the root, the second in the stem, and the least in the branch. The size of secondary xylem element at any one level in tree increases from the center (pith) of the organs through a number of annual rings to the outer.

The pith and xylem parts of fresh root that turned into inside-white during processing for red ginseng was investigated under scanning electron microscope in comparison with the sa31e position of fresh root processed into normal reddening. In the inside-white part starch storage cells remain mostly in vacancy or with small number of starch granules and with large hollow by missing cell membranes between cells. Many starch seed granules appeared on the surface of storage cell wall in the inside-white part. Fresh root sample showed better picture than dried powder.

An investigation was carried out for the annual ring width, longitudinal tracheid diameter and wall thickness in different tree heights for Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et. Zucc. The annual ring width increased along with the tree height, however the tracheid diameter and wall thickness decreased with the tree height. Tracheid wall thickness was found the thickest at 2.0m from the above ground samples and it increased gradually from pith to bark. Radial tracheid diameter was found to be larger than that of tangential tracheid diameter in earlywood. But, it was found to be the opposite in latewood. In earlywood, the average values of tracheid wall thickness was found the range of $2.1-3.0{\mu}m$, whereas, in latewood, it was $2.4-4.2{\mu}m$.

An experiment was conducted to observe the safranine penetration depth in radial directions of Populus tomentiglandulosa. Radial penetration was considered from bark to pith. In radial direction, ray parenchyma and intercellular space were considered for the measurement of safranine penetration depth. It was found that sapwood conducted safranine 24.23% higher in radial direction compared with heartwood. Intercellular space conducted safranine 39.27% higher depth compared with ray parenchyma and the penetration depth was 39.41% higher in sapwood compared to heartwood. During safranine penetration, it formed a curvature in the lumen of ray parenchyma. Initially safranine penetration was found high and decreased gradually.

The collapse of four domestic Fagaceae species was observed in relation with their moisture content(MC), basic density, P (Percent of moisture content saturation of the wood) and Q (Percent of cell cavity volume containing water) and the variation of collapse phenomenon in the cross section of stem was also investigated. The results were summarized as follows : The values of collapse in each species were great in order of Quercus dentata, Quercus variabilis, Quercus aliena and Quercus mongolica and the values were higher in heartwood than in sapwood in all of specimen. MC, basic density, P and Q were important factors which affected on the occurance of collapse and the collapse phenomenon was decreased from pith to bark.

Crown rot was found find tomatoes growing on a rockwool culture system in a glasshouse at Dongkwangyang in 1992. The disease occurred on the stem of 'Trust' tomato plants with 3~4 cluster of flowers. Infected plants showed stem girdling and necrosis at or slightly above the rockwool line. Internal tissues of crown and stem including cortex, vascular bundle, and pith became decayed resulting in a chocolate-brown discoloration extending no more than 10~15 cm above the crown. Diseased tomato plants with the similar symptoms were found at Ansung and Taejon where tomatoes were grown on either rockwool or soil in plastic greenhouses. The size of macroconidia of Fusarium isolated from a diseased plant was 26.0~41.6$\times$2.9~4.7${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, and microconidia were formed on short monophialide and the size was 3.6~12.5$\times$2.9~3.6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Morphological characteristics and inoculation tests indicated that the causal organism of the disease was Fusarium oxysporum.

This paper describes forging of trochoidal gears, which are being widely used in timing belt pulley, pump pulley etc., as a series of development of the simulator for non-axisymmetric elements. Kinematically admissible velocity fields for forging of trochoidal gear were proposed and the loads were calculated by numerical method. When the simulation was carried out, half pith of gear was divided into 6 deformation regions which have different velicity fields by assumptions and boundary conditions. The neutral surface was introduced into forging of trochoidal gears with flat punch and, for each step, it is assumed as a circle with its radius r$_{n}$. The experimental set-up was installed in 200 ton hydraulic press for forging. The billets, of A1 2218 aluminum alloy, were slightly phosphate-coated. It was shown that thd theoretical solutions, as upper bound, are useful to predict the forging load for forging of trochoidal gears, because thdt give estimates that are substantially higher than experimental loads.s.

One-node stem pieces ca. 1 cm in length containing a axillary bud and a fully expanded leaf were obtained from it in vitro plants of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Leaves were removed and the nodes were cultured on the MS medium to investigate the effects of temperature, day length, sucrose, and CCC in microtuber formation and development. The fresh weight of microtubers after 80 days increased significantly at 8% sucrose and $20^{\circ}C$ compared with $28^{\circ}C$. The tuberization and development were reduced at $28^{\circ}C$ except short-day treatment of 8 hours at 8% sucrose. The fresh weight and diameter were increased on the culture medium added CCC 500 mg/L. The potato tuberization was promoted under short daylength, and it showed great effect by treatment with the CCC. Though the tuberization was promoted at low temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ in a histologic change of an axillary bud part cell of a potato, the cells were able to observe the swelling growth. Swelling growth of tissue was stimulated in the darkness and was more remarkable by addition of CCC. In particular, in the visual ratio of cell division for each position in the tissue, the cortex part showed larger ratio of cell expansion than that of the pith part. The effect of CCC was identified at 8% sucrose in the darkness. The effect of CCC was not showed in sucrose 3% under long daylength of 16 hours. As a result, the fact of a substance with AGPase important for starch composition was certified by the result with the inclose of AGPase activity on high concentration of sucrose, CCC, and dark treatment by which tuber formation and development are promoted.
