For shortening the tobacco breeding cycle, seedlings with 6, 8 and II leaves of 2 flue.cured tobacco varieties, day. neutral type and photoperiod-sensitive type, were grown in controlled-environment room (CER), programmed for temperature of $18^{\circ}C$ and 8.hour day period of 30 klux, for 20, 30 and 40 days. All of plants of day.neutral type variety treated in CER, regardless of seedling stage and duration, flowered earlier than the untreated plants. In the 6.leaf seedlings stage of photoperiod-sensitive type variety, plants treated for 20 and 30 days in CER did not accelerate the flowering. the tobacco plants, treated with low temperature for 20 days at 8.leaf seedling stage, flowered earlier in comparison with. the other treatment.

Four experiments were conducted to determine growth regulators, their concentrations and treatment time, rooting medium, and plant parts for optimum seedling propagation by stem cuttings in yacon (Polymnia sonchifolia Poepp. & Endl.). NAA was the most effective on rooting, and followed by IBA 2,4-D, and IAA. Dipping the base of cuttings in 50 or 100 ppm solutions of IBA increased rooting ratios. The 100 ppm solution of IBA was 14% higher than the 50 ppm solution for rooting ratios. Rooting medium with equal volumes of clay loam and sand was the most suitable for rooting of cuttings. Cuttings with both terminal bud and the first node or cuttings with both the first and second nodes were higher in rooting ratios than cuttings with only terminal bud or the first or second nodes. Days to rooting was not affected by plant parts.

In order to investigate low molecular antioxidants synthesized by enhanced UV-B radiation, we used the seedlings of two rice varieties. Woonjangbyeo, UV-tolerant, and Hwajoongbyeo, UV-susceptible, were subjected under supplemental UV-B irradiation. When rice seedlings were irradiated with UV light for short period, biosynthesis of total phenolic compound, ascorbate and glutathione were momently reduced. With an increase of UV-B radiation, however, those were slightly synthesized. The content of lipid peroxides in UV-challenged rice leaves was considerably increased after 12 hrs of UV-B treatment. Lipoxygenase activity under supplemental UV-B radiation was differently responded on rice varieties.

In this study, we examined the impact of transplant timing of mother plants for seedling strawberry on growth and development of daughter plants and field stage. The leaf growth of treated mother plants and crown thickness were low when transplant was performed on April $10^{th}$. Based on the results collected until July $13^{th}$, the numbers of daughter plants with more than two leaves were 20.6 and 19.5 for March $10^{th}$ and March $25^{th}$, and these values decreased by April $10^{th}$ and April $25^{th}$ showing values of 15.1 and 11.8, respectively. After seedling growth was complete, leaf area and fresh weight of the saplings were remarkably low beginning from the transplant on April $10^{th}$. Crown thickness of saplings was generally lower when transplant timing was late. After 45 days of transplant leaf length and width were noticeably lower than the transplant on April $10^{th}$ and $25^{th}$. First cluster was 100% for both the March $10^{th}$ and $25^{th}$ transplant, followed April 10th and $25^{th}$ with values of 66% and 43%. The results revealed that transplant on March $10^{th}$ and $25^{th}$ had a greater positive impact on the growth and development of the strawberry cultivar 'Seolhyang'. A supplementary study will have to be conducted to determine the relationship between the harvest period of the first cluster and the yield of marketable strawberries depending on the transplanting time of mother plants.

The seedlings of yacon (Polymnia sonchifolia Poeppig ＆ Endlicher), which were cuttings, plug seedling (PS), crown bud before sprouting (CBBS), crown bud after sprouting (CBAS), and divided seedling after budding (DSAB) were planted at 70$\times$50 cm planting distance on ridge; that was interow spacingintrarow spacing, and about 28,500$\pm$71 plants/ha. CBBS didn't need work and equipment to raise seedlings. PS and DSAB grew taller to 140.5 and 143.3cm, respectively, than others at 150 days after planting. In the changes of plant height, PS and DSAB showed taller than others during growth period, cuttings, CBBS, and CBAS grew rapidly in middle growth stage. Excepting main stem and petiole length, other characters were significant for seedling. Fresh weights were different among seedlings. Even though the yield of plants grown from CBAS and CBBS were lower with 34.7 and 36.4 ton/ha, respectively, than 3.6 ton/ha of DSAB; its yield index were over 95%, hence, those of plants grown from cutting and PS were lower with 73 and 87%, respectively. The ratio of tuberous roots over 200g to total tuberous roots per plant was the highest from DSAB. Most of tuberous roots were under 200g per tuberous root from cuttings. CBBS, CBAS, and DSAB are suitable to use seedlings for high yield of yacono. Yacon plant by DSAB much produced tuberous root of over 200g.

An extensive investigation has been made for the possible utilization of polypropylene spunbonded fabrics in rice seedling nursery. Considering the cropping systems available in southern part of Korea, sowing dates were fixed at April 5 and April 20 for single cropping and May 6 and May 26 for double cropping. Nursery period was fixed to 35 days for each sowing date. Four different thickness of polypropylene spunbonded fabrics, 40, 60, 80, 100 g/$m^2$, were tested in rice seedling nursery. The temperature and light intensity were not significantly different among the thickness of polypropylene spunbonded fabrics. Light intensity was significantly reduced in polypropylene spunbonded fabric (72.2 Klux) compared with polyethylene mm (85.5 Klux), however, the reduced light intensity was enough for seedling growth. The temperature in the polypropylene spunbonded fabric covering during low air temperature was higher than that in polyethylene mm tunnel. At transplanting, the rice seedlings grown in polypropylene spunbonded fabric condition was shorter (17cm) but healthier than those in polyethylene mm (23cm). The estimated possible nursery periods using the polypropylene spunbonded fabric covering may start from April 1 at Chinju (plain area in Southern Korea, 20m altitude) and April 15 at Susang (mountainous area, 430m altitude). Labour hours and cost were reduced by about 28% and 48%, respectively.

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of diatomearth(pH 3 and CEC 20me/100g) on the adjustment of nursery soil pH and on the growth of rice seedling in the tray. The results are as follows ; 1. The soil pH and damping-off of rice seedling were decreased with increase in diatomearth application. 2. Ten to fifteen percent of diatomearth was required to adjuse the optimum soil pH range of 4.5-5.5. 3. Changes in nursery soil pH adjusted by diatomearth were less than those by sulfuric acid during the incubation period. 4. Diatomearth application increased dry weight and height of rice seedling.

The effects of 0.5 and 1.0 ppm of ozone on the developing chloroplast of barley (Hordeum vulgare L) seedling during greening were investigated by PSI and II activities, chlorophyll fluorescence, and the contents of chlorophyll. Etiolated barley seedling was treated 0.5 and 1.0 ppm ozone for the first 4 h during greening. In 24 h greening experiment, the contents of chlorophyll were decreased by increasing ozone concentration from 0.5 ppm to 1.0 ppm. In 24 h greening experiment, Fo, Fv, Fm and qE were greatly decreased as the concentration of ozone was increased, but those were not considerably decreased in 48 h greening experiment. In another experiment, the developing barley seedling was treated with 0.5 and 1.0 ppm ozone for the last 4 h during greening period, which was 24 h or 48 h. In both experiments the PS II activity was decreased as the concentration of ozone was increased, but not in PS I activity. Fv, Fm and Fv/Fo were also decreased as the concentration of ozone was increased. qP and qR were strikingly decreased as the concentration of ozone was increased in both experiments.iments.

The Merit variety of soybean (Glycine max L.), harvested in 1971 was germinated in the dark at $21{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ for days. The soybean sprouts were divided into cotyledons and seedling axis (=hypocotlyplus root) and subjected to the determination of dry weight, crude fat content and lipid components (esterified sterols, triglycerides, free fatty acids, free sterols and phospholipids) at two-day intervals during the germination periods. The results are summarized as follows: 1) During the germination period, the dry weight and crude fat content in cotyledons decreased continuously, but the dry weight seedling axis increased continuously and crude fat content remained almost constent. 2) The triglyceride content in crude fat from cotyledons decreased and free fatty acid content increased continuously, but triglyceride content in crude fat from seedling axis showed no change until 6th day and increased slightly after 8th day, and free fatty acid content showed increase after 4th day and decrease after 6th day. Phospholipids, free and esterified sterols content in cotyledons increased continuously, but their content in seedling axis remained unchanged.

In the production of organic Panax ginseng, the morphological changes were confirmed by providing general water and microbubble water, respectively. Analysis of seedling ginseng treated with general water and bubbles water revealed that many seedlings were formed in the seedling treated with bubble water, and about 15% weight increase occurred in the growing period. The growth rate of stem, leaf, and root was about 15% higher than that of all. Taken together, the growth of seedling cultivation using bubble water was about 15% overall. In order to process ginseng, the dried ginseng was higher in dry weight than the general water seedling seedlings grown in bubble water. This suggests that more processed products will be produced per unit weight at the time of producing the processed products at the farm, which can directly increase the farm income.
