1. 잡초종 54종을 수집 보관중이며 이들을 대상으로 발아력을 검정한 결과 치상후 15일째에 31종이 발아력을 보이고 그 가운데 50% 이상의 발아력을 보인것은 14종에 불과하여 대부분의 잡초종은 휴면의 정도에는 차이가 있지만 어떤 형태로든지 휴면성을 갖고 있는 것으로 구명되었다. 2. 우리나라에 발생하는 피속 잡초종은 외형적으로 여러종이 발생하는것 같았으나 2종만이 존재하는데 한 종은 강피이고 다른 종은 돌피와 변종으로 물피가 존재하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 3. 종자의 단백질 패턴 검정으로 종자 형태학적으로 분류한 종들을 재점검해 본 결과 강피는 돌피와 물피와는 달리 B zone에 주요 band가 있어서 쉽게 구분되었으나 돌피와 물피의 단백질 패턴이 유사하여 구분이 쉽지 않았다.

Germinating ability of 54 weed species collected throughout Korea in 1987 and 1988 was determined in incubator at for 15 days. The seeds of Echinochloa sp, collected from 70 different places throughout Korea, were classified by Yabuno's seed morphology method. Plant characters of two identified Echinochloa species, one having two subspecies were evaluated. SDS-PAGE(sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) of seed protein assay was used to identify locally collected Echinochloa species classified by Yabuno's seed morphology method. 1. Out of 54 weed species collected, 31 species showed germination at 15 days after incubation, and 14 species showed over 50% and no germination was observed in 24 species, indicating that approximately 40 species had varied degree of germinating ability. 2. It was confirmed that two annual species of Echinochloa such as E. oryzicola and E. crus-galli occurred in Korea and one of which particularly E. crus-galli has two subspecies such as E. c. var. praticola and E. c. var. crus-galli. 3. E. oryzicola was distinguished from E. c. var crus-galli and E. c. var praticola by presence or absence of one major protein band in B zone. However, it was rather difficult to distinguish E. crus-galli species because they showed similar protein pattern.
