To examine the effects of gibberelin treatment on seed germination of five Viola species - Viola variegata, Viola dissecta var, chaerophylloides, Viola collina, Viola hirtipes and Viola manshrica - in Wonju district, pretreated seeds of five species were sowed on Jiffy strips with mixed soil(sand： peat moss： perlite： vermiculite, 1:1:1:1, v/v) in 25, May 1994. Seeds were soaked in 5, 25, 50ppm gibberelin solution and ground water during 24 hours. Seed germination rate was measured and compared among species and treatments. Seed germination rate of Viola hirtipes was differed higly significant among pretreatments, but those of other species did not significant at 5of level. In general GA$_3$pretreatment raised seed germination rate of 5 Viola species, and proper concentration of GA$_3$was 25~50ppm.

The experiment has investigated the effects of blending rate of waste rockwool in nursery media on growth of Marygold 'Yellow boy' plug seedlings. A commercial plug medium containing 10% zeolite, 10% vermiculite, 5% perlite, 10% peatmoss and 65% cocopeat was used as the control, and the other media compounded with 10% of zeolite, vermiculite, perlite and peatmoss and 10, 30, and 50% of waste rock-wool. There was not significant difference in germination rate ot Marygold between treatments. Plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter and leaf area were higher in commercial plug medium and compound nursery media containing 50% of waste rockwool than 30 or 10% of waste rockwool. Fresh weight and dry weight of shoot and root increased in the treatment of commercial plug medium and the medium of 50% waste rockwool than 10 and 30% of waste rockwool. These results suggested the possibility of utilization of waste rockwool for medium components of plug seedlings.

Efficient plant regeneration via shoot organogenesis from in vitro cultured leaf segments of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev cv. Namjeon) was achieved. Adventitious shoot formation from leaf explants was greatly influenced by plant growth regulator, leaf age, light condition, explant number per culture vessel, and explant orientation. Leaf segments, obtained from fully expanded young 1-2nd leaves and inoculated 8 explants per petri-dish with adaxial surface contact with MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L BA and 2.0 mg/L NAA, produced 100% regeneration frequency and 13.7 shoots per explant. Regenerated adventitious shoots were successfully rooted in MS medium with 0.1 mg/L NAA. The plantlets were acclimatized in artificial soil mixtures (Vermiculite:Perlite=1:1), and transferred to greenhouse for flowering. The regenerated plants showed normal phenotypes.

In order to establish micropropagation system Anthurium andreanum 'Atlanta', dwarf type, shoots of A. andreanum were cultured on medium supplemented with cytokinin. Callus was formed from the base of shoots. high frequency callus induction was obtained on medium with 10.0mg/L BA or 10.0mg/L TDZ(thidiazuron) at more than 71.8%. The shoots were cultured on media with various combinations and concentrations of TDZ, BA and 2.4-D to enhance callus induction. Callus was induced at more than 72.6% and grew vigorously on media containing 10.0mg/L BA and 0.0∼0.5mg/L 2.4-D, or 1.0mg/L TDZ. Stimulation effects of cytokinin by 2.4-D did not occur in combined treatments of cytokinin and 2.4-D. Callus was cut into sections(7${\times}$10mm), and then cultured on media with BA alone or BA and 2.4-D to regenerate shoots and to stimulate the callus growth. Shoot regeneration and callus growth were effective on media with 10.0mg/L BA alone, or 10.0mg/L BA and 0.1mg/L 2.4-D. In combined treatments of BA and 2.4-D, stmulation effects of cytocinin by 2.4-D also did not occur. Callus growth was decreased, accordiong to increasing the concentration of 2.4-D. In cimbined treatments of TDZ and 2.4-D in shoot regeneration and callus proliferation, stimulated effects of cytokinin by 2.4-D did not occur entirely. Media with 0.5∼1.0mg/L TDZ ingibited the regeneration and rooting of shoots, and callus growth from callus sections. Addition of 2.4-D on medium with TDZ ingibited the regeneration and rooting of shoots, and callus growth. Rooted plantdts were acclimatized in greenhouse. The plantlets were survived more than 98% in soil of vermiculite alone or mixed perlite 1 and vermiculite 1.

As a special concrete, which is a mixture of soil, cement and water, has strength like regular concrete for pavement, soil cement has been used in various field such as pavement and soft soil improvement. The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristic of unconfined compressive strength and time dependent behavior of soil cement that is made from decomposed granite soil or coluvial and inorganic solidification liquid. The results showed that the unconfined compressive strength appears to increase as the amount of cement and curing time increase In addition, the strength seems to decrease with increase of the potion of fine particles(No 200 sieve). The result of XRD indicated that there is Vermiculite, the product of reaction, in the soil cement. The dynamic properties of material, such as shear complex compliance, shear complex modulus, and phase angle could be calculated from the hysteresis loop obtained from the Haversine Creep Tests. Finally, creep behavior was able to be predicted from these dynamic properties.

This research was performed to investigate the mechanical performance of lightweight concrete including phase changing material(Low temperature PCM). Micro capsulised PCM consisted of wax type core and melamine based wall. Also, for PCM of one single kind, paraffin wax was inserted into Vermiculite and the surface was coated with melamine resin. Interfacial polymerization is based on the principle that macromolecule reaction takes place on the surfaces between 1-dodecanol(core material) and water (solvent) to form the wall material. Lightweight concrete has compressive strength of 10 MPa, tensile strength of 1.5 MPa, and oven dried density of 1.0kg/liter which included 10%, 20%, or 30% PCM by weight. To do so, this study fabricated light-weight foamed concrete ($1.0kg/m^3$) in pre-foaming method and mixed it with PCM micro capsule of 1-dodecanol and melamine to examine its physical properties.

In order to develop effective acclimatization methods for Aralia elata plantlets regenerated from somatic embryos, various acclimatizing conditions were compared regarding both survival rate and growth of the plantlets. The plantlets were transplanted into plastic boxes containing artificial soil in the presence of either several levels of MS liquid media, distilled water, 2% sucrose or 0.1% hyponex solution. They were then cultured by spraying of distilled water twice a week and maintained in the normal tissue culture room. Perlite was proved to be better than vermiculite on survival rate and growth of the plantlets. As the size of perlite (larger than 0.2 cm in diameter) increased, both the survival rate and growth of the plantlets improved. Among the various MS liquid media and different aqueous solutions tested, distilled water appeared to result in the best survival rate and growth. MS media were also effective in increasing survival rate and supporting growth when diluted to 1/4 and/or 1/8. The acclimatized plantlets could be transplanted directly onto the nursery bed and grown normally. The above results suggest that plantlets regenerated from somatic embryos of Aralia elata be effectively acclimatized using a plastic box containing perlite with distilled water treatment.

Plant regeneration via organogenesis from leaf and stipule explants of micropropagated shoots of strawberry (Fragaria $\times$ ananassa cv. Suhong) was achieved. Leaf and stipule explants were detached from shoot-tip cultured shoots and cultured on MS medium with various combinations of BA and NAA under light or dark condition. Shoot regeneration from leaf explant was observed after 3 weeks in culture and was good at the high ratio of BA and NAA among various combination treatments. The highest shoot regeneration frequency from leaf explants was obtained with 1.0 mg/L BA and 0.1 mg/L NAA, in which 31.1% shoot regeneration frequency(1.7 shoots per leaf explant) was yielded. In case of stipule explants, shoot regeneration was largely affected by plant growth regulators during incubation under dark condition for initial 4 weeks but not under continuous light condition. The combination treatment with 2.0 mg/L BA and 0.1 mg/L NAA showed the most excellent shoot regeneration from stipule explants, where 44.4% regeneration frequency(4.0 shoots per explants) obtained. Regenerated shoots were rooted on MS medium with 0.1 mg/L NAA after shoot elongation, and the plantlets regenerated were transferred to soil mixtures with vermiculite and perlite for acclimation.

The Cretaceous granite, andesite and sedimentary rocks are widely distributed in the northern Pusan area. The present study investigates mineralogical and geochemical charateristics of residual and cultivated soils derived from these rocks. The soils of granite area contain a large amount of quartz relative to clay minerals, whereas the soils of the andesite area contain more clay minerals than quartz. Clay minerals consist mainly of kaolin minerals illite hydroxy interlayered vermiculite interstratified mica/vermiculite and chlorite. Kaolin minerals are abundant in paddy soils while illite is abundant in less weathered soils. Si and K are major elements in the soils of granite area while Fe and Al in the soils of andesite area. In all the soils Ca, Mg and Na were generally depleted in comparison to those in parent rocks. Analysis data of trace element show that the enrichment pattern in soils depends on parent rock type with high oncentration of some elements over 100 ppm: Ba and Rb in granite area Zn, Bn, and V in andesite area, and Ba and V in sedimentary rock. In granite area, Rb and Th were greatly enriched in soil than in parent rocks. However, Cr, Ni and Sr commonly decrease, whereas Pb increases in all the soils. Exchangeable cation capacity(CEC) is relatively high in the soils of andesite are including abundant clay minerals. Collective evidences prove that the mineralogical and chemical compositions of soils are strongly dependent on the parent rock type. The mineralogy and chemistry of long cultivated soils are not significantly different from those of residual soils.

This study was conducted to determine the optimum rooting media composition for the production of high-quality rose cuttings. The percentage of rooting was highest in peatmoss (P) and coarse vermiculite (CV) mixture (1:2, v/v). In 'Little Mable' and 'Suplesse', the rate was above 95%, and 'Red Velvet', 'Noblesse', 'Rote Rose', and 'Sweetness' showed 100% rooting rate. 'Rote Rose' showed lowest rooting rate, but in the composition, the rate was 100%. In the composition, root growth was accelerated. Root number, root weight, and root diameter increased in P:CV (1:2) mixture. However, root length increased in peatmoss and perlite mixture (1:2). This results might be caused by the water holding capacity and porosity of the rooting media composition.
