전국 15개 지역에서 수집된 227 클론으로 조성된 클론보존원에서 선발을 통해 육성된 새로운 대립 다수확성 복분자 딸기 품종 '두륜'은 평균 개체와 비교하여 줄기의 가시가 적고, 잎의 상면 광택이 강하며 크기가 큰 검은색의 과실 특성을 갖는다. 1998년부터 개화 결실 특성 조사를 실시하여 2001년 17개 클론이 2차 선발되었으며 이들 17개 클론에 대한 지역적응성 및 안정성 검정을 통해 최종 육성된 신품종 '두륜'은 결실지당 개화 수에서 17.2개,

마가목屬 4종류의 엽의 형태적 특성을 분석한 결과 엽형과 엽선 및 엽소질과 같은 정성적 형질은 4종류 모두 피침형 또는 넓은 피침형의 엽형(lanceolate)을 보였으며 엽선은 점첨두(acuminate)로 표면에 털이 없고 밋밋하여 평활(glabrous)한 특성을 보였다. 복엽길이 등 11가지의 정량적 특성 조사 결과는 당마가목 geqq유럽마가목>마가목geqq산마가목 순의 경향으로 종간 유의적 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 소엽수와 복엽 및 정소엽형지수를

Illicium anisatum was bred under four different light intensity. Those condition were full sunlight(PPFD 1600μmol m-2 s-1), 30% treatment(PPFD 400 μmol m-2 s-1), 50% treatment(PPFD 250 μmol m-2 s-1) and 70% treatment(PPFD 100 μmol m-2 s-1), respectively. Chlorophyll a and b were increased according to decrease of light intensity. Thirty percent and 50% treatment had not significant different in chlorophyll a and b. Thirty percent treatment was shown the best photosynthetic activity through invested photosynthetic rate, intercellular CO2 concentration and water use efficiency. Photosynthetic activity trend of 50% treatment was similar to 30% treatment. Seventy percent treatment was shown the best photosynthetic activity at low light intensity but that was decreased to lower value than 30% and 50% treatment under high intensity. Control, bred full sunlight, was shown the worst photosynthetic activity at measured all light intensity. That result could imply that was caused by photoinhibition because of long term exposed of shade tolerant plant at high light intensity. Leaf characteristics had not significant different in leaf length, width and area but leaf dry weight had similar trend to photosynthetic activity.

Hovenia dulcis var. koreana Nakai is recently known to be a useful tree because of their medicinal function. In 1996, candidate trees were selected from 10 regions in Korea, and a clone bank was established in 1998 by grafted 70 candidate clones of candidate trees in order to breed high-yield superior trees. From 2003 to 2005, five clones were selected and screened by analyzing flowering and fruiting characteristics of 47 clones in the clone bank. “Poong-Sung 1”, a new high-yield superior H. dulcis var. koreana Nakai cultivar was finally selected from the 5 clones. The final selection focused on fruiting characteristics such as the number of fructify lateral (NFL), the number of average bunch per one fructify lateral (NABFL), the number of average bunch per fruiting lateral (NABPFL), the weight of fruit petiole per individual (WFPI) and the yield of individual (YI). Fruit petiole of “Poong-Sung 1” has dark brown skin color and fruit flesh color. Fruiting characteristics of “Poong-Sung 1” showed large better results and selection effects with an average of 19.3Ea (NFL), 4.75Ea (NABFL), 91.68Ea (NABPFL), 4.7 kg (WFPI) and 11.26 kg (YI) which are 158.8%, 147.1%, 233.9%, 401.7% and 412.5% superior compared to the mean of 47 clones, respectively.

This study was conducted to clarify the relation of the species of genus Sorbus in Korea based on multivariate analysis for the morphological characteristics and DNA polymorphism. Twenty-eight quantitative characters were assessed and analyzed by the principal component analysis and UPGMA cluster analysis. From the principal component analysis of 28 quantitative characters, three principal components (PC’s) explained the variation of inter-specific relations among the genus Sorbus. The first PC’s explained 58.95% of the variation with the Eigenvalue of 16.5, and the second and third PC’s showed the Eigenvalue of 8.3 and 3.1 and explained 88.74% and 100.0% of the variation, respectively. Especially, the first PC’s was related in order of the fruit width (FW) and length of terminal leaflet (LTL), petal length (PL), width of terminal leaflet (WTL), and diameter of winter bud (DWB). The second and third PC’s were involved in order of the No. of leaflet (NL), No. of fruit per fruiting lateral (NFL), length of upper rachis (LUR), and diameter of rachis (DR), No. of pistil (NP), respectively. Cluster analysis using them UPGMA method based on the principal components of four species of the genus Sorbus divided into two groups. Group Ⅰ comprises Sorbus commixta and S. sambucifolia var. pseudogracilis, and Group Ⅱ consists of S. amurensis and S. aucuparia. The pattern of DNA polymorphism of the 56 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers revealed that different taxa shared different sets of bands, and DNA analysis is useful for taxonomic study on the genus Sorbus.
