This study was conducted to determine the effects of seed storage temperature and pre-treatment on seed ger-mination, seedling quality and vigor index of wild Trichosanthes kirilowii and Trichosanthes kirilowii var. japonica. As a resultthe highest germination rate of T. kirilowii was the 95% at seed stored in room temperature and then soaking for 24 hours indH₂O. And the highest germination rate of T. kirilowii var. japonica was 96% at seed stored in 2℃ and then soaking for 24hours in GA₃(100ppm). But the seed germination rate was non-significance in pre-treatment at seed stored in roomtemperature 2℃ .Seedlings of T. kirilowii and T. kirilowii var. japonica showed not only the best seedling quality but alsoseedling vigor index in seed stored at 2℃ and then soaking for 24 hours in GA₃(100ppm). In this research, T. kirilowii and T.kirilowii var. japonica seed were stored in room temperature or 2℃, and then sown in peat moss, seed germination rate wasmore than 90% and production of superior quality seedlings.

찰벼 4품종을 두 온도조건(저온; 15℃, 대조; 25℃)에서 왕겨의 유무에 따라(정조 및 현미) 발아특성을 조사한 결과, 현미 발아율은 품종간 차이가 없었으나 정조 발아율은 저온 에서 품종간 차이가 컸다. 종자를 침윤시키면 온도나 왕겨 의 유무에 관계없이 수분이 급격히 증가하다가 30%에서 더 이상 증가하지 않고 정체하는데 이때 정체기에 도달하는 시 간은 온도가 높을수록, 정조보다 현미가 빨랐다. 그러나 수 분정체기에 도달하는 시간은 품종간 차이가 있고 저온에서 차이가 컸다. 수분흡수시간은 발아율, 발아세, 발아속도, 평 균발아일수와 모두 높은 부의 상관을 보여 초기 수분흡수시 간이 빠를수록 발아를 촉진하는 것으로 나타났다. 침윤 24 시간 뒤 guaiacol peroxidase활성은 처리 및 품종간에 큰 차 이를 나타냈으며 발아세와 발아속도와 정의 상관이 있었으 나 최종발아율과는 상관이 낮았다. Catalase활성은 발아율, 발아속도 등과 상관이 매우 낮았으며, 용해성 단백질함량 및 maltose농도도 발아특성과 상관이 낮았다. 종자활력검사 (TTC활력검사)와 표준발아율검사(25℃)에서 발아율이 높 더라도 정조는 저온에서 품종간 발아율의 변이가 커 종자활력검사만으로 발아율을 예측하기 힘들었다. 따라서 초기의 종자활력은 TTC검사와 guaiacol peroxidase활성을 함께 고 려하는 것이 더 정확한 것으로 생각된다. 또 품종간 발아율 의 변이를 줄이고 발아속도를 높혀 균일한 발아를 유도하기 위해서는 적정범위에서 가능한 온도를 높혀 수분흡수를 촉 진시켜야 한다.

This study was investigated to evaluate germination rate of Astragalus membranaceus B. in Korea as affectedby storage temperature, germination temperature and storage period of seed. The highest germination rate was obtainedfrom condition of 25℃ in germination temperature. Seeds were stored at −20℃ and 5℃ for 8 weeks has showed higher ger-mination rate than one at room temperatures. The germination rates showed significantly difference by harvested year of2010, 2011 and 2012. The seed of A. membranaceus in harvested year of 2011 and 2012 had germinated well. On the otherhand, seeds in harvested year of 2010 were not nearly germinated. Consequently, the longer storage period after seed har-vest lower germination rate and seed vigor as well.

This study was carried out to compare the characteristics of seed germination and the first stage of growth in Cynanchum wilfordii (Maxim.) by different light conditions such ass fluorescent light, dark and light emitting diode (LED). There was not much difference from the germination rate of C. wilfordii (Maxim.) in different light conditions for 10 days. The highest of germination rate occurred over 91.11 percentage by LED red condition at 26℃. Also mean germination velocity and promptness index were represented the highest results of 2.3 ea/day and 52.67 under red light, respectively. But mean germination time under both LED red and blue light was represented low data that it takes over three days for germinating of seed. Even though handling both LED red and blue lights, the germination uniformity was not constant. These results may help our understanding of variations in germination characteristics for C. wilfordii (Maxim.) seeds treated under different light conditions.

앵미의 온도와 파종깊이 및 토양수분에 따른 발아와 유묘생육의 특성을 규명하기 위하여 앵미 2종과 대안벼를 공시하여 시험한 결과는 다음과 같다.1. 저온조건에서 발아시험 결과 앵미가 대안벼보다 발아율이 높았고 발아속도도 빨랐으며 종자세가 우수하였다.2. 저온조건에서는 수분함량이 많을수록 발아율이 높았고, 중온조건에서는 토양수분 45% 조건에서 발아율이가장 높았다.3. 영천앵미의 발아 특성은 파종심도 6 cm 처리구에서는저온과 중온에서는 발아를 하지 않았으나 고온에서는 발아를 하였다. 4. 합천앵미와 영천앵미의 발아 특성중 영천앵미가 합천앵미보다 발아율 및 종자세가 우수한 것으로 나타났다.발아를 하였다.

The plant habitat is moved by change of growth environment due to global warming. And it have to need seed germination and successful settlement of seedling in new habitat. This study aims to supply basic data for predicting change of habitat of Dendropanax morbifera Lev., warm temperate tree in Korea, by global warming. Characteristics of seed germination of D. morbifera was studied in different temperature and light conditions. Firstly, fruit and non-fleshed seed were saw without cold treatment. Second, each fruit and non-fleshed seed were treated in wet cold and dry cold conditions at 4°C for 3 months, and it were saw in 10, 15, 20, 25, 30°C conditions. After cold treatment at 4°C, non-fleshed seed shows high germination ratio of 87%, 53%, 77%, 63%, 23% in 10°C, 15°C, 20°C, 25°C, and 30°C, respectively. Also, in filed test, non-fleshed seed was high in 69.2% and in non-light condition. However, it did not shown germinated seed in light condition. In conclusion, germination of D. morbifera mainly controlled by non-light condition in temperature after cold treatment for about 3 months on 4°C.

This study was conducted to improve the managing and storing methods of the seeds of Aralia cordata var. continentalis (Kitagawa) Y.C.Chu, to examine the viability and the germination ability of seeds with different storing conditions and methods, and to develop new ways to propagate and have better healthy seedling. Therefore, the germination rate, days required for germinating seeds, and early growth responses of Aralia cordata var. continentalis (Kitagawa) Y.C.Chu were investigated with different storing temperatures, durations and methods. The germination rate was higher in stratified storage than that in dry storage condition. The highest germination rate was with outdoor temperature at 30 days after stratified storage. The days required for germinating seeds were less than 10 days with the treatment of 25℃ and outdoor temperature in stratified storage. In dry condition, they were shorter with 4℃ and 25℃ than those with -20℃ and outdoor temperature. Leaf number of seedling was higher in stratified storage compared to that in dry condition, while it was not clearly different according to storage temperatures and durations. Leaf length and leaf width of seedling was not difference among the treatment of storage methods, temperatures, and durations. Stem length of seedling was higher in stratified storage than those in dry condition, while root length was not clearly different among the treatments. It would be assumed that temperatures, methods and durations of storage could affect much to the germination rate and the early seedling growth response.
