In this study, we present different physiological responses to cold acclimation between the freezing tolerant barley landrace, Jeonnamjaerae, and the freezing sensitive line, PI283398, chosen by the previous field test. We tried to identify some key facto

This study is to identify the physiological traits of submergence-tolerant varieties of rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) in Yeongnam area, southeastern part of Korea, where the reduction of rice yield due to submergence is remarkably severe. In the present study, two tolerant varieties of rice plants were selected from over 30 rice varieties grown in under a 10-day period. The tolerant varieties selected from a submerged paddy field. As a control, one intolerant variety of rice plant was chosen. Of the tolerant variety Samgangbyeo, rather than Haepyungbyeo, had a lower dissolved oxygen consumption and maintained a higher dry weight than the intolerant variety. The leaf photosynthetic rates (LPS) of the two tolerant varieties were significantly higher than that of the intolerant-variety after four days of submergence treatment. These results indicate that lower dissolved oxygen consumption in a limited pool is prevented by ethylene formation in the tolerant varieties, which may be a mechanism of submergence tolerance.

To analyze the effect of 1RS chromosome segment on anther culture efficiency in wheat, 44 cultivars released from several countries were evaluated. The cultivars applied for this investigation came from several regions and it was necessary to confirm cult

A new covered barley variety, 'Daeyeonbori' was developed from the cross between Milyangketbori, a stabile for machine harvest, and Olbori by the barley breeding team in the National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station (NYAES) in 1999. An elite line,

A new wheat variety, 'Anbaekmil' was developed from the cross between Saemil and Geurumil by the wheat and barley breeding team of the National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station (NYAES) in 2001. A promising line, YWM2078- 3B-2-3-7, was selected in

A new covered barley variety, 'Keunalbori 1' was developed from the cross between Keunalbori, a large grain variety, and Milyang 55, a brittle-awned variety, by the wheat and barley breeding team in the National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station (N

Flour protein content and SDS sedimentation volume were measured for 128 wheat varieties bred in Korea and foreign countries. Allelic variation of glutenin, one of seed storage proteins, was also identified by SDS-PAGE to measure the effect of HMW-GS (hig
