This study was carried out for the improvement of germination rate by breaking seed dormancy in barley, In spring and fall planting, Post-harvest treatment of seeds such as air-dried (24 hours) or soaked in the 100 ppm gibberellin for 10 to 30 minutes imp

This study was conducted to investigate the effect on shortening spring barley cultivation into three generations a year under field and unheated (vinyl or glass) greenhouse conditions in Iksan, Korea. Two-rowed spring barley varieties, Jinyangbori and Do

The sweetpotato, Ipomoea batatas L. (Lam.), is one of the important summer upland crops in Korea and has been used as human food, industrial yaw material and vegetable. Sweetpotato has been consumed for human foods such as boiled, roasted, fried or salad etc. It should be developed for higher quality as a snack or health food, primarily through improving the eating and marketing qualities as well as nutritional value. Its quality after cooking or processing is a complex one combining the aroma, taste, texture and fiber content. The other important qualities for consumers are root shape, size, skin color, flesh color, insect and disease resistance, nutritional components and safety from phytoalexins(toxic stress metabolites) etc. Korean people generally prefer to red skin color, round or elliptic shape and dry texture, yellow flesh color of sweetpotato which is high in starch content including vitamins and nutrients. The almost factors of quality components of sweetpotato are genetically controlled by breeder, but postharvest handlings and marketing management for making high quality goods should be done thoroughly according to the quality evaluation criteria of sweetpotato from the moment of harvest until shipping them to the market by farmers and the other users. This paper describes current status and prospects of the quality evaluations and researches in sweetpotato roots in Korea.

Korean sweetpotato, Ipomoea batatas, varieties were examined for the cross-compatibility and -incompatibility through inter-crosses among them to obtain the fundamental genetic informations for enhancing the heterosis breeding efficiency. The pollen germi

쌀보리의 이삭에 관한 기초자료를 얻고자 우리나라에서 육성한 쌀보리의 품종을 공시하여 소수위치에 따른 망의 길이와 무게, 입중 등을 조사한 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 이삭의 정단부로부터 3∼5번째 소수가 망장 및 망중의 평균치와, 2∼4번째 소수가 입중의 평균치와 각각 일치하였다. 2. 이삭의 기부로부터 3∼4번째 소수의 망이 가장 길고 무거웠으며 5∼6번째 소수의 입중이 가장 무거웠다. 3. 측열 소수는 중앙열 소수에 비하여 망장은 13∼26%, 망중은 26∼41%, 입중은 18∼25% 적은 값을 보였다. nami형 품종은 uzu형 품종에 비하여 중앙열과 측열간 망장, 망중 차이가 적었다. 4. 망중/망장 비로 볼 때 uzu형 품종은 nami형 품종보다, 그리고 중앙열은 측열보다 망이 더 굵었다. 5. 이삭을 3등분하였을 때 망장, 망중은 하부와 중앙부 차이가 없었으나 상부보다는 길고 무거웠다. 입중은 상부가 항상 가벼웠고 중앙부는 하부보다 무겁거나 같았다. 6. 망중이 무거운 소술일수록 입중이 무거웠다.
