Restoration of ecosystems degraded by heavy metal pollution can be accomplished by soil amendment and selection and utilization of plants tolerant to heavy metals. Two former zinc mine sites, Sambo Mine in Hwasung, Kyonggi-do and the Second Yonhwa Mine in Samchuk, Kangwon-do, were selected for collection of plant samples and for determination of heavy metal tolerant species. Dominant species on mine waste deposits in Hwasung site were Panicum bisulcatum and Echinoch/oa crus-galli, while those in Samchuk site were Aster yomena, Setaria viridis, Artemisia lavandulaefolia and Oenothera odorata. Mean contents of zinc, lead and cadmium in Hwasung soil were 103, 117 and 1 ppm, respectively, while those in Samchuk soil were 23, 6 and 4 ppm, respectively, Zinc contents were higher in Echinochloa crus-galli from Hwasung and in Artemisia lavandulaefolia from Samchuk, while lead contents were higher in Panicum bisulcatum and Echinochloa crus-galli from Hwasung and Lactuca sonchiJolia and Pinus densiJolia from Samchuk. Plant species with higher cadmium contents were Panicum bisulcatum and Lactuca sonchiJolia. Comparison of metal contents between roots and shoots showed that Echinochloa crus-galli was a zinc accumulator, while Panicum bisulcatum, Persicaria hydroPiPer, Pinus densiJlora and Lactuca sonchiJolia were zinc excluders. In addition, Panicum bisulcatum and Persicaria hydroPiPer were proved to be lead excluders. When both heavy metal contents in plant tissues and biomass of individual plants are considered, it can be concluded that Echinochloa crus-galli and Panicum bisulcatum from Hwasung and Artemisia lavandulaefolia and Aster yomena are heavy metal absorbing plants. The effect of heavy metals on seed germination showed that Artemisia princeps var. orientalis had higher germination rates, but no significant difference in concomitant decrease of germination rates among the species investigated were found by increasing heavy metal contents.

외부 형태가 다른 피속류 46종을 대상으로 피 방제용 경엽처리 제초제인 cyhalofop-butyl과 pyribenzoxim의 약제반응을 보고, 그 결과 약제반응이 상이한 피속류를 선발하여 $^{14}C$ 화합물을 이용, 흡수이행 및 체내대사 등을 시험하였다. Cyhalofop-butyl에 감수성인 황간 돌피, 내성인 제주 강피 그리고 pyribenzoxim에 감수성인 남양주 물피, 내성인 아산 물피를 선발하였다. $^{14}C$-Cyhalofop-butyl과 $^{14}C$-pyribenzoxim의 피 체내에서의 흡수이행 특성은 내성 피보다는 감수성 피에서 더 빨리 이행되는 경향을 보였으며, 뿌리보다는 지상부의 다른 부위로 이행되는 경향이었다. 감수성 정도가 다른 피속류에 $^{14}C$ 화합물을 처리한 결과, cyhalofop-butyl에서는 2종, pyribenzoxim에서는 1종의 미확인 대사산물이 검출되었으며, 대사산물의 분포비율을 보면 불활성 물질로 추정되는 대사산물의 양은 감수성 피보다 내성 피에서 높았다. $^{14}C$ 화합물을 처리한 피속류에서 결합 잔류물 형태로 잔류한 양은 감수성 피보다 내성 피에서 더 많이 잔류하였다.

Plants have evolved physiological, biochemical and metabolic mechanisms to increase their survival under the adverse conditions. This present study has been performed to select salt-tolerant rice mutant lines through in vivo and in vitro mutagenesis with gamma-rays. For the selection of the salt-tolerant rice mutants, we conducted three times of selection procedure using 1,500 gamma ray mutant lines resulted from an embryo culture of the original rice cv. Dongan (wild-type, WT): first, selection in the a nutrient solution with 171 mM NaCl; second, selection under in vitro condition with 171 mM NaCl; and third, selection in a reclaimed saline land. Based on a growth comparison of the entries, out of the mutant lines, two putative 2 salt tolerant (ST) rice mutant lines, ST-87 and ST-301, were finally selected. The survival rate of the WT, ST-87 and ST-301 were 36.6%, 60% and 66.3% after 7 days in 171 mM NaCl treatment, respectively. The WT and two salt tolerant mutant lines were used to analyze their genetic variations. A total of 21 EcoRI and Msel primer combinations were used to analyze the genetic relationship of among the two salt-tolerant lines and the WT using the ABI3130 capillary electrophoresis system. In the AFLP analysis, a total of 1469 bands were produced by the 21 primer combinations, and 700 (47.6%) of them were identified as having polymorphism. The genetic similarity coefficients were ranged from 0.52 between the ST-87 and WT to 0.24 between the ST-301 and the WT. These rice mutant lines will be used as a control plot for physiological analysis and genetic research on salt tolerance.

1.5% NaCl이 함유된 배지에 캘러스를 치상하여 방사선을 처리한 결과 무처리구보다 처리구 (30, 50 Gy)에서 캘러스 생존율 및 재분화율이 증가하여 내염성 캘러스를 선발하는데 방사선의 적용이 효과적임을 알 수 있었고, 내염성 캘러스에서 재분화된 M$_3$세대 종자에서 내염성 계통들은 모품종보다 초장, 근장 및 근수의 생육이 우수하여 이러한 계통은 내염성 연구를 위한 유용한 유전자원으로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 RAPD 기술은 대조구와 내염성 캘러스에서 재분화된 계통을 구분하는데 유용한 기술임을 알 수 있었다.

본 실험은 염과 건조 스트레스를 받은 벼 식물체의 생리학적 반응을 잎의 수분 보유적인 측면에서 조사하여, 벼의 내성품종과 비내성품종을 효율적으로 선발하기 위한 critical level을 밝혀 내성품종 육성에 응용할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행한 시험결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. NaCl 및 PEG 처리에 의한 벼 식물체의 반응은 일차적으로 뿌리 신장의 억제가 NaCl 처리에 의해 관찰되었으나, PEG 처리에서는 벼 식물체의 뿌리가 PEG 처리 농도를 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향이 보였다. 2. NaCl 및 PEG 처리에 의한 벼 식물체의 잎의 RWC와 LWP 사이의 상관관계를 조사한 결과, 40 mM NaCl ($r=0.871^{**}$)와 80 mM NaCl 처리구 ($r=0.934^{**}$) 에서 RWC와 LWP사이에 높은 상관관계가 확인되었으나, PEG 처리에 의한 RWC와 LWP 사이에는 8% PEG 처리구($r=0.789^{**}$)에서만 상관관계를 보였다. 3. RWC와 LWP사이에 높은 상관의 결과로부터 측정방법이 까다로운 LWP보다 간단하게 측정할 수 있는 RWC를 이용하여 염 및 건조 스트레스에 대한 내성 품종을 선발하는 것이 효율적이라 사료된다. 4. 염에 대한 벼 내성품종을 선발할 경우에는 80 mM NaCl을 처리한 후 48시간째에 선발하는 것이 적합하고, 한발에 대한 내성품종 선발에는 8% PEG를 처리한 후 96시간째에 선발을 하는 것이 효율적이라 사료된다.

Nine plant species were selected through vegetation survey at three military shooting ranges at northern Gyeonggi Province. Plants were germinated in normal soil and three seedlings were transplanted to a bottom sealed pot containing sandy loam soils contaminated with either RDX (291 mg/kg) or TNT (207 mg/kg). Planted, blank (without plant), and control (without explosive compound) pots were grown in triplicate at a green house for 134 days. During cultivation, transplanted plants exhibited chlorosis and necrosis in flower and leaf by explosive toxicity and stress. Only three plants, Wild soybean, Amur silver grass, Reed canary grass, survived in TNT treated pot, while seven plant species except for field penny cress and jimson weed, thrived in RDX treated pot. Appreciable amount of TNT (61.6~241.2 mg/g-D.W.) was detected only in plant roots. Up to 763.3 mg/g-D.W. along with 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene, an intermediate of TNT, accumulated in the root of wild soybean. In addition, azoxy compounds, abiotic intermediates of TNT, were detected in TNT treated soils. RDX absorbed average 1,839.95 mg/kg in shoot and 204.83 mg/kg in root. Most of TNT in plant was accumulated in underground part whereas RDX was localized in aerial part. Material balance calculation showed that more than 95% of the initial TNT was removed in the planted pots whereas only 60% was removed in the blank pot. The amount of RDX removed from soil was in the order of Amur Silver Grass (51%) > Chickweed (43%) > Evening primrose (38%). Based on the results of pot cultures, Amur silver grass and Reed canary grass are selected as tolerant remedial plants for explosive toxicity.

Various management systems are being broadly employed to minimize crop yield loss resulting from abiotic and biotic stresses. Here we introduce a Bacillus zanthoxyli HS1 strain as a potent candidate for managing manifold stresses on vegetable plants. Considering 16S rDNA sequence and biochemical characteristics, the strain is closely related to B. zanthoxyli. The B. zanthoxyli HS1's soil-drench confers disease resistance on tomato and paprika plants against infection with Ralstonia solanacearum and Phytophthora capsici, respectively. Root and shoot growths are also increased in B. zanthoxyli HS1-treated cabbage, cucumber, and tomato plants, compared with those in mock-treated plants, after application of high salinity solution. Moreover, the pretreatment of B. zanthoxyli HS1 on cabbage plants inhibits the degradation of chloroplast pigments caused by high salinity stresses, whereas the inhibitory effect is not observed in cucumber plants. These findings suggest that B. zanthoxyli HS1 stain inhibits disease development and confers tolerance to salinity stress on vegetable plants.

Differences in physiological and biochemical responses between sensitive and tolerant rice cultivars to ozone were investigated to develop reliable indications of early ozone damage. Three Korean local rice cultivars -sen-sitive cultivar Dongjin (DJ), moderately tolerant cultivar Hwayeong (HY) and tolerant cultivar Ilmee (IM) were exposed to ozone at the concentrations of 100 nl $\textrm{l}^{-1}$ or 200 nl $\textrm{l}^{-1}$ , 8 h per day for 10 days in a controlled-environment fumigation chamber. The rice cultivars seemed to be endurable to ozone stress at the concentration of 100 nl $\textrm{l}^{-1}$ which is frequently monitored during the growing season in summer. However, severe damage was induced and differential sensitivity was clearly noted among the rice cultivars at the higher ozone concentration. Activation of the glutathion (GR) -ascorbate peroxidase (APX) cycle was likely to be responsible for protection of rice plants against ozone exposure, relating difference in sensitivity of rice cultivars to ozone. Photosynthetic activity appeared to be one of sensitive responses, for which chlorophyll fluorescence and leaf greenness can together provide a very reliable index, a degree of photosynthetic damages by ozone. Formation of malondialdehyde (MDA) was also considered as an indication that can differentiate cultivars sensitivity to ozone. However, the changes in polyamines and total phenolics were not consistent with exposed ozone concentrations and/or ozone sensitivity of the cultivars. The behavior of polyamines and phenolics in the damaged plants at high ozone levels could be interpreted as an indication of ozone injury rather than activation of additional protection mechanisms scavenging active oxygen species formed by ozone. Several responses triggered by ozone could explain the differential sensitivity of the rice cultivars and be used as reliable indications of relative ozone damage to rice plant.

Low temperature stress is one of the major negative factors affecting vegetative and reproductive growth of rice. To better understand responses of rice plants to low temperature we analyzed transcriptome expression patterns in glumous flower of cold-tolerant japonica rice variety, Stejaree45, and cold-susceptible variety, HR19621-AC6 at booting stage under cold water irrigation. A total of 2,411 probes were differentially expressed by low temperature in glumous flowers of the two varieties. Some important genes involved in hormone biosynthesis showed variety-specific regulation. Expression of GA20ox3 and GA2ox, among the genes involved in GA biosynthesis, was regulated differentially in the two varieties. Among the genes involved in IAA biosynthesis, YUCCA1 and TAA1:1 showed variety-specific regulation. Among the genes involved in cytokinin biosynthsis and signaling, expression of LOG, HK1 and HK3 was significantly down-regulated only in the cold-susceptible variety. Among the genes involved in ABA biosynthesis, NSY and AAO3 were down-regulated only in the cold-tolerant variety. In general, genes involved in GA, IAA and cytokinin biosynthesis responded to cold temperature in such a way that capacity of those bioactive hormones is maintained at relatively higher levels under cold temperature in the cold-tolerant variety, which can help minimize cold stress imposed to developing reproductive organs in the cold-tolerant variety.
