To increase the selection efficiency for new cultivars in cut roses during breeding programs, phenotypes of seedlings in two cross combinations, C1 (Rosa hybrida ‘Yellow King’ x ‘Aladin’) and C2 (R. hybrida ‘Evelien’ x ‘Sunny Isle’), were investigated. Although most seedlings showed classic-type flower shapes, some (0.4% - 0.7%) had tomato-shaped flowers, especially at the young plant stage (6 months old). The variation in petal color was high, and pink and pink-mixed flowers were dominant, accounting for 72% in C1 and 76% in C2 at the mature plant stage (13-month-old plants). However, the seedlings had changes in the expression of petal color at different growth stages. The number of petals at the young plant stage had a strong positive correlation with those at the mature plant stage in C1 (r = 0.84***) and C2 (r = 0.73***). Sizes of flowers and petals increased with the growth of the seedlings, and their traits at the young plant stage had positive correlations with those at the mature plant stage in both C1 (r = 0.32***) and C2 (r = 0.39***). Prickle expression on stems was mostly in level 5 at the young plant stage and then dispersed to various classes at the mature plant stage, which increased the variation and coefficient of variation. To select seedlings for new cultivars through breeding processes, breeders should consider the growth stage for targeted traits.

The salt adversely affects normal growth and development by the toxic effects of sodium ion (Na+) absorbed from plants. In different plant species, the difference of salt-tolerance degree is related to ion homeostasis, osmolytes biosynthesis, scavenge of harmful operator and water transportation. This intend that salt-tolerance is a quantitative trait controlled by amount of genes. In the previous study, we selected several tolerant cultivars and landraces from over 1,000 barley germplasms which were screened in a high salt (0.4 %, w/w) reclaimed soil. Among the selected germplasms, we selected a salt-tolerant variety from Tunisia (T76) and a salt-susceptible variety Gwandongpi 41 (G41) in germination and early growth stages. In order to develop salt-tolerant segregating population, we performed the development of a new interspecific barley recombinant inbred line population of PB 71 lines deriving from an interspecific cross between Tunisia 76 (T76) and Gwandongpi 41 (G41). The F1 hybrid was progressed by F4 generation. Germination and seedling growth of the F4 generation (a total of 710 lines) were screened for salt-tolerance in 200 mM NaCl solution for 10 days. Ten days after incubation, salt-tolerance was scored on a scale from 1 (sensitive) to 5 (tolerant). In germination screening for evaluation of salt tolerance, the T76 and G41 as parent pants showed all 100 % germination ratio in control or saline conditions. In addition, the whole F4 generations also showed normal germination ratio over 90 % in control condition, while the only 70.42 % of the that showed germination ratio over 90 % in 200 mM NaCl stress condition. The average score of salt tolerance at the seedling stage of parent plants showed that the salt-tolerant cultivar T76 was 5 and the salt-sensitive cultivar G41 was 3 in saline condition. The average score frequency of F4 generations showed that five (7.04 %) among the PB71 lines possessed the highest score 5 and 40 lines possessed the score 3 (26.76 %) and 2 (29.58 %), respectively.

Saponin생합성의 개체발생학적 정보를 얻기 위하여 인삼종자의 개갑과정과 묘삼생육초기에 saponin및 유리당의 변화를 HPLC로 조사하있다. 개갑처리 40일 후에 약 80%의 saponin이 없어졌으며 Rc, Rb2 , Rb1 이 없어지고 PD가 더 많이 없어졌다. 70일 후에는 40일 후보다 증가하였으며 Rg2 와 Rg3 (추정), 20-gluco Rf(추정)의 증가는 분해용탈 외에 생합성 가능성을 배제하지 아니하였다. F3 (추정)는 과육에 없고 미숙배유와 배에 있고 개갑과정에서 적어졌다. Rg3 는 과육에 없고 배유와 배에 흔적으로 있으나 개갑에서 증가되었다. 20-gluco Rf는 개갑 중 배유와 배에서만 나타났다. 4월 20일의 묘삼근에서 saponin은 없었으나 줄기에서는 개갑시 보다 많았다. 근의 saponin 생성은 5월 29일에 나타났으나 6월 30일에야 Rc, Rb2 , Rb1 이 처음 생기며 본 궤도에 이르는 것 같다. 6월 중 단위 생중당 saponin 생합성 속도는 뿌리보다 잎에서 배가 높았다. 잎사포닌 F3 와 F6가 뿌리에서 발견되고, 근 saponin Rg3 와 20-gluco-Rf가 엽에서 나타났으나 점점 감소하였다. Saponin함량의 변화에는 PD가 주역이여서 PT/PD는 saponin 함량과 부상관을 보였다. 재갑처리 70일에도 sucrose의 함량이 높았으나 glucose는 흔적, fructose는 없었다. 묘삼의 잎은 sucrose보다 glucose와 fructose가 초기에는 많았으나 후에는 상당히 적어졌다. 줄기는 glu-cose가 많고 기타는 흔적 정도 였으며 뿌리는 초기에 sucrose가 종자에서 보다 높았으나 그 후 모든 당이 거의 흔적뿐이었다.
