To study the effects of temperature, day length, and various plant growth regulator treatments on the tuber formation of Irish cobbler, this experiment was carried out with 2 combinations of day-length and temperature and 11 kinds of growth regulator, including GA, and their combinations. For the tuber formation, low temperature-short day condition played decisive role, and exceeded the effects of growth regulators. 4 times foliar application of 10 ppm GA resulted marked elongation of stolon but did not inhibit the tuber formation even under high temperature longday condition.

This study conducted to evaluate the growth characteristics of creeping bentgrass in summer after application of the plant growth regulator, Trinecapac-ethyl, and these data may provide basic information to golf course turf maintenance. The results showed that the shoot density of creeping bentgrass was increased an average density of 1.7 $ea/cm^2$ with the trinexapac-ethyl application, especially about 2 $ea/cm^2$ during the growth retarded period of June and July. The root length increased also in June and August. The visual quality was improved significantly with trinexapac-ethyl treatment all the experimental periods, moreover, the effect was significant by reducing a summer decline stress of creeping bentgrass during the warm and humid period of summer. The green speed was significantly improved by this growth regulator treatment and those effect was prominent during stressed season of late June to mid July. Overall of the result, we found that shoot density, visual quality and green speed of bentgrass green were improved by trinexapac-ethyl treated from early growing season of spring and these effects were continued during summer. It should be very beneficial to manage the bentgrass green in stressed season. In future, the possibility and efficiency of mixture with fungicides and/or fertilizers might be needed. The spring green-up test with trinexapac-ethyl will be followed in next spring.

BACKGROUND: This study focused on the development of an analytical method about dichlorprop (DCPP; 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionic acid) which is a plant growth regulator, a synthetic auxin for agricultural commodities. DCPP prevents falling of fruits during their growth periods. However, the overdose of DCPP caused the unwanted maturing time and reduce the safe storage period. If we take fruits with exceeding maximum residue limits, it could be harmful. Therefore, this study presented the analytical method of DCPP in agricultural commodities for the nation-wide pesticide residues monitoring program of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. METHODS AND RESULTS: We adopted the analytical method for DCPP in agricultural commodities by gas chromatograph in cooperated with Electron Capture Detector(ECD). Sample extraction and purification by ion-associated partition method were applied, then quantitation was done by GC/ECD with DB-17, a moderate polarity column under the temperature-rising condition with nitrogen as a carrier gas and split-less mode. Standard calibration curve presented linearity with the correlation coefficient ($r^2$) > 0.9998, analysed from 0.1 to 2.0 mg/L concentration. Limit of quantitation in agricultural commodities represents 0.05 mg/kg, and average recoveries ranged from 78.8 to 102.2%. The repeatability of measurements expressed as coefficient of variation (CV %) was less than 9.5% in 0.05, 0.10, and 0.50 mg/kg. CONCLUSION(S): Our newly improved analytical method for DCPP residues in agricultural commodities was applicable to the nation-wide pesticide residues monitoring program with the acceptable level of sensitivity, repeatability and reproducibility.

This study was conducted to examine the effect by application method and concentration of the indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), which is auxin-based plant growth regulator, on the growth and runner plants production of strawberry in the greenhouse. The seedlings of strawberry were transplanted in the pot (150 ×135 × 90 mm) filled with coir medium on April 12, 2019. The IBA was applied with a foliar spray or drench as 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg·L^-1 (50 mL per plant), respectively. The treatment was started on April 29, 2019. The foliar spray and drench treatment of IBA were repeated at 2-week intervals for 9 weeks from the start date of treatment. At 9 weeks after treatment, the petiole length of mother plants was the shortest in the control. The number of runner plants showed a tendency to decreased in the foliar spray. The number of lateral buds showed a tendency to decreased in the IBA treatment, and the least in the foliar with 100 mg·L^-1. There was not significantly difference in the fresh and dry weights of the first and second runner plants. However, in the third runner plants, the fresh and dry weights were the greatest in the drench with 100 mg·L^-1. Therefore, when considering the growth of third runner plants and lateral bud suppression, the drench with the 100 mg·L^-1 could be better application method and concentration of IBA treatment for growth of the third runner plants and runner plants production of strawberry, and the results can be used as a basic research of plant growth regulator application to save the labor force and enhance the seedling quality in strawberry seedling stage.

Leaf disks from cultivar 'Kennebec' and one selection line (ND 860-2) were cultured on Murashige-Skoog medium with various combinations of indole acetic acid (IAA) and zeatin riboside. Shoots, roots and callus were induced at various combinations of plant growth regulator levels. The medium containing $3.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IAA and $4.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ zeatin riboside produced the most plantlets. Rooted regenerants were grown in the greenhouse. The growth of regenerated plants obtained from the MS medium supplemented with $7.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IAA and $3.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ zeatin riboside was significantly greater than those grown from nodal expalnts. In ND 860-2, a leaf chimera with chlorophyll deficient (light yellow) sectors was found in plants regenerated fiom leaf disks (grown on MS medium supplemented with $3.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IAA and $3.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ zeatin riboside) but not in plants grown from nodal explants. The phenotypic variability was also observed in the tuber number, size and weight.

To obtain multi-shoot using zygotic embryos dissected from ginseng seed, the embryos were cultured on MS medium supplemented with CPA and BA. Effective multi-shoot induction was achieved on 0.5mg/ t CPA and 1.0mg/ t BA treatment. Among the various plant growth regulator treatment, MS basal medium with 1mg/ t 2,4-D and 0.5mg/ t kinetin was more competent and could be induced 4∼6 shoots per one embryo. Also, the best condition for pre-embryoid induction from ginseng cotyledon so as to ginseng transformation appeared to 1mg/ t 2,4-D and 0.5mg/ t kinetin treatment. The kanamycin level to select transformants varied greatly by different explant tyues. The petiole explants with leaf and embryo could survived up to 100$\mu\textrm{g}$ / ml kanamycin concentration where as petiole explants without leaf died all at the level. Conclusionally, our results suggest that optimum kanamycin concentration for ginseng transformation using somatic embryos is about 75∼100$\mu\textrm{g}$ / ml concentration.

Nine plant growth regulators (PGRs) were tested for in vivo antifungal activities against on rice blast. They showed higher in vivo antifungal activities when they were applied on rice plants by soil drench rather than foliar spray. Except for 2,4-D at $500\;{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$, the others showed a very low or no activity against the disease in foliar spray applications. In contrast, 2,4-D, indole butyric acid (IBA) and triiodobenzoic acid, at $500\;{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$, showed control values of 98.9, 97.8 and 88.9% in soil drench applications. Furthermore, the control activity of IBA was dependent on its concentration against rice blast; IBA suppressed the development of rice blast by 71.7% at $125\;{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ and 85.8% at $250\;{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. IBA also controlled the development of rice blast on adult plants by 63.9% at a dosage of 2.56 kg/10a. The results revealed that IBA has a good activity against rice blast when it is applied by soil drench.

Subtropical insect pests expand their habitats by migration to temperate zones along with global climate change. A subtropical insect pest, Maruca vitrata, is infesting leguminous crops including azuka beans in Korea and gives significant economic damages. Its great genetic variation raised an issue of the origin of a Korean M. vitrata population. To understand the genetic character of the Korean population, its cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (cox 1) gene was sequenced and phylogenetically analyzed with other regional populations. The world populations of M. vitrata were grouped into three clusters: Asia-African, American, and Oceanian. The Korean population was classified into Asia-African cluster. To characterize the insecticide susceptibility of the Korean population, seven different insecticides (4 neutoxic insecticides, 1 insect growth regulator, 2 biopesticides) were assessed. Young larvae of M. vitrata were relatively susceptible to all tested insecticides. However, old larvae were much less susceptible than young larvae. No test insecticides effectively (> 50%) killed the old larvae of M. vitrata within 7 days.

Some experiments were conducted to utilize the raphanus test as a bioassay method for plant growth regulaters and hormonal herbicides. Among seven radish cultivars, the response of Jangbaegminong was the most sensitive and quantitative to ${\alpha}$-NAA and its coefficient of variation value was the lowest. The optimum application time of test compounds was estimated seven to nine days after seeding. After ${\alpha}$-NAA treatment the curvature angle of radish cotyledonary petiols was sharply increased to the maximum value at 24 hours after and was changed by light and temperature conditions. The curvature response was observed by application of ${\alpha}$-NAA, phenoxy and indole compounds but often plant growth regulators, $GA_3$ benzyladenine, ABA and homobrassinolide was not detected by this method. So this bioassay was useful to evaluate the activity of a compound as an auxin or a hormonal herbicide.

Shoot tips with 2 leaf primordia were cultured to induce shoot primordia in MS liquid medium supplemented with several concentrations of BA and hIAA under the conditions of 10,000 lux illuminations for 24 h and of vertical shaking of 2 rpm in carrot. Two F$_1$ hybrids and two male sterility lines were used. Shoot primordia were only induced in the medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L of BA and 0.2 mg/L of NAA. Genotypic specificity and seasonal effect of donor parents on shoot primordia induction were not observed and average 15-20% of the planted dornes developed to shoot primordia. The induced shoot primordia were successfully propagated by subculture in the same medium. However, they were grown into three different types during multiplication, that is, the type with multiple small shoots on the surface, the type of without any shoot, and the type of callus. Shoot primordia clusters with small shoots on the surface differentiated multiple shoots successfully in 1/2 MS solid medium supplemented with 0.2 to 1.0 mg/L of IAA and 0.2 to 1.0 mg/L of kinetin. New shoot primordia with small shoots were well formed when pieces bigger than 2 mm in diameter of the out layer of the shoot primordia cluster with small shoots were subcultured. No differences of multiplication and shooting ability and chromosomal variation of shoot primordia were observed until the 13th sub-culture.
