A new pea cultivar, Cheongmi was developed at the Yeongnam Agricultural Research Institute (YARI) in 2003. It was selected from a cross YP303 (Frescoloy / Upton) // YP113 (Sparkle/Early Bird) /3/ YP115 (Sparkle / Euiseongjaerae) in 1992. The preliminary,

A new vegetable soybean cultivar, “Dajin” (Milyang 125) was selected from a cross Keunolkong / Josaengbaekjo(Introduction) // Keunolkong, and was developed at the Yeongnam Agricultural Research Institute (YARI) in 2003 on the basis of its yield performanc

A new black seed coat soybean cultivar with green cotyledon, Cheongja 2 was developed at the Yeongnam Agricultural Research Institute (YARI) in 2003. Cheongja 2 was selected from a cross Milyang 70 / Ilpeumgeumjeongkong. The preliminary, advanced and regi

A new mungbean cultivar Soseon (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) was derived from the cross between KM9003-2B-783 and V2939 at the Jeollanam-do Agricultural Research & Extension Services (JARES) in 2003. “Soseon” has erect growth habit, heart leaf, green hypoc

A new vegetable peanut variety “Bakjung(Arachis hypogaea L.)” was developed from the cross between Shindaekwang and Suwon94 at the Honam Agricultural Research Institute and Yongnam Agricultural Research Institute, National Institute of Crop Science in 200

A simplified technique which cryoprotects zygotic embryos by encapsulation-dehydration was developed for the germplasm conservation of herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.). The highest survival rate (85~%) was obtained from embryos treated by encapsulation-dehydration. The zygotic embryos were precultured on MS medium containing 0.3mg/L GA3 for 1 day. The precultured embryos were encapsulated in 3~% (w/v) alginate beads and immersed for 1 h in MS medium containing 2 M glycerol and 0.5 M sucrose. The encapsulated embryos were dehydrated for 5h by air drying prior to direct immersion in liquid nitrogen. This encapsulation-dehydration method appears to be a promising technique for germplasm cryopreservation of a herbaceous peony.

The response of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations caused significant change in root number, root length, coleoptile length, shoot length and leaf age of seedlings. The genotypic difference in the effect of DO also highly significant (P<0.01) for all of the seedling traits. The number and length of root were extremely inhibited at the condition of 0.39~pm0.09 DO concentration. While the coleoptile elongated markedly in the lowest DO concentrations, the shoot did not develop. The root growth was improved slightly at the 1.39~pm0.27mg L-1 , however, there were no difference among genotypes at these two low DO concentrations. As the DO concentration become higher, the growth of root and shoot was improved remarkably. Root number, root length and shoot length was significantly different between 20~;and~;30~circC in DO rich and normal conditions, the development of those traits were apparently accelerated in high water temperature, however those traits of seedlings in DO deficiency were not different between the two temperatures except for shoot length. On the other hand the coleoptile length was not affected by the stagnant water temperature; it was stimulated by the low DO concentration. The competition of DO was greater as the seedling density was increased in the stagnant water, therefore the seedlings grown under high density have long and white coleoptiles, and the growth of roots and shoots was retarded severely.
