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
A new vegetable peanut variety “Bakjung(Arachis hypogaea L.)” was developed from the cross between Shindaekwang and Suwon94 at the Honam Agricultural Research Institute and Yongnam Agricultural Research Institute, National Institute of Crop Science in 200
A new peanut variety “Daemyung(Arachis hypogaea L.)” was developed from the cross between SP8703-2-2 and SP8708-4-1 at the Honam Agricultural Research Institute, National Institute of Crop Sciencee in 2003. This variety belongs to shinpung type with erect
A new sprout-soybean variety, “Dagi” was developed from the cross between Namhaekong and D70-6545 by the soybean breeding laboratory of the National Honam Agricultural Experiment Station (NHAES) in 2002. The preliminary, advanced, and regional yield trial
We have analyzed the genetic diversity of 45 squash genotypes in Cucurbita maxima, C. moschata, C. pepo and uniden-tified Cucurbita spp. (noodle-squash) with molecular markers. The 45 squash accesions showed molecular variations of 87.5% inRAPD and 74.4%
To find out the relationship between pod development and cytokinin contents during reproductive stage of peanut, the cytokinin contents, trans-zeatin ribo-side (t-ZR) and dihydrozeatin riboside (diZR), were investigated at 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after flowering (DAF). The amounts of t-ZR and diZR in cotyledon and first branch among primary branches were 3, 448 pmol/g (FW) and 4, 824 p/g (FW), respectively, which were higher than those of other branches. The t-ZR and diZR contents of lower parts on the branch from cotyledon node at 7 DAF were 579 pmol/g (FW) and 2, 028 pmol/g (FW), respectively, which were higher than those of upper parts. The cytokinin contents of reproductive organs as flowering progressed were increased at 0 and 14 DAF on branch and position of node. The cytokinin contents of upper part with pruning the lower part on the branch from cotyledon node were high 112-337% at 7 DAF and 14 DAF compared with those of the control. In case of remove the upper part of the first internode on main axis, t-ZR contents was 4.7 times higher than diZR contents at 7 DAF. The pod setting rate of flower and position on the branch from cotyledon node was closely related to the cytokinin contents during floral reproductive stage.
