"Jecy Green" is a new kiwifruit variety developed at the National Institute of Subtropical Agriculture (NISA), RDA in 2003, which was for the utilization as fruit with smooth skin and green flesh. This variety was selected from seeds obtained from the cross breeding between Actinidia chinensis cv. "Apple Sensation" and A. deliciosa cv. "Tomuri" in 1997. Seedling and line selections were conducted from 1998 to 1999, and characteristic trials were carried out from 2000 to 2002. After developed, it was also conducted to the test of adaptability in kiwifruit orchards of Jeju island from 2003 to 2006. The branch of "Jecy Green" sprouts strongly and the color of leaf is slightly dark green. The shape of fruit is ellipsoid, and the color of peel is light yellowish-brown with pubescence. The average weight of fruit is 82.9 g and the largest 125g. The core is middle and soft, the percicarp is yellowish green, and the texture is fragile and juicy. Soluble solids concentration is 13.2 °Brix. The total acid content is 1.07% and the fruit yield is higher about 10% than that of A. deliciosa cv. "Hayward". The harvesting time is early November and the fruit can be preserved about 70~90 days at 2℃. This variety can be planted bellow 100 m sea level and should be grown under shelter to prevent from disease and cold.

Genetic diversity of Korean landrace rice accessions was assessed with microsatellite markers. The 214 alleles weregedfrom 3 for SSS locus to 37 for RM206 locus with an average number of 12.6 alleles per locus. Gene diversity values according tothe 17 mic

The purpose of this study is to explore the concept of a logistics hub, identify key factors and milestones for its development, and give some recommendations and implications to developing countries. For this the countries competing to be Logistics hub in Northeast Asia (NEA), such as South Korea, japan and China, are taken into consideration These countries have under its priority policies the development of a logistics hub vision to become the central area of the region achieving microeconomic and macroeconomic prosperity. Based on the review of the relevant literature, five factors came up as key determinants for the development of a hub project: 1. Logistics services support and infrastructure. 2. Business environment. 3. Economic determinants. 4. Political support and 5. Access to international markets. These are going to be analyzed together with its different variables, using statistical methods.

Ilpumbyeo, a japonica rice cultivar which is known to have premium eating-quality, and high yield potential, but susceptible to rice blast disease was studied whether it has any specific rice blast resistance gene/QTL. Using CAPS markers which were develo
