Korean soybean variety Kwangan was transformed with coat protein (CP), helper component-proteinase (HC-Pro), and ABRE binding factor 3 (ABF3) genes using highly efficient soybean transformation system. Among these genes, CP and HC-Pro were transformed using RNAi technology. Transgenic plants with CP were confirmed for gene introduction and their expression using PCR, real-time PCR, RT-PCR, Southern blot, and Northern blot. To investigate the response of viral infection with CP, T1 plants were inoculated with SMV-infected leaves and confirmed the existence of mosaic symptom in both leaves and seeds. Two transgenic lines with CP were highly resistant to SMV with clear leaves and seeds while SMV-susceptible lines showed mosaic symptom with seed mottling. The transcript levels of T1 plants with CP were also determined by northern blot, suggesting that SMV-resistant T1 plants did not show viral RNA expression whereas SMV-susceptible T1 plants showed viral RNA expression. Currently, the response of viral infection with HC-Pro is investigating to produce SMV-resistant soybean transgenic plants, and the physiological experiment with ABF3 is also carrying out to produce drought-tolerant soybean transgenic plants.

　‘eeun’an Asiatic hybrid lily was released in 2005 at National Horticultural Research Institute (NHRI), Rural Development Administration (RDA), Suwon, Korea. The cross was made in 1994 between Liliium Asiatic ‘hite Bird’white colored, and Liliium Asiatic ‘ote d’zur’ pink colored variety. It was preliminarily selected as ‘96-5’in 1996. Multiplication and bulbing, and characteristic tests were conducted from 1997 to 2004. The evaluation of characteristics was investigated as ‘ongyo C1-21’ in 2004 at Suwon. ‘eeun’flowers in the end of June and grows 41.6 cm stem length. Flowers are upward-facing, unspotted in petals and yellow green (RHS, 18C). Year-round flowering can be by storing the bulb under -1.5℃ conditions. For forcing culture, it is necessary to add calcium to the fertilizer or remove side scales to prevent leaf scorch. It is needed to control Botrytis disease in wet season.

"Yeu", an Asiatic lily variety was released by the National Horticultural Research Institute (NHRI), in 2006. A crossing was made between Asiatic lily "Foxtrot", a orange colored cultivar, and Asiatic lily "A94-l" (White bird x Foxtrot), a orange colored cultivar in 1996. A promising line No. 9857 was selected in natural cultivation condition from the progenies of a cross combination between "Foxtrot" and "A94-1" in 1998. The flower characteristics and cultivation performance of "Yeu" were investigated from 2000 to 2005 named as Wongyo C1-85. The natural flowering time of "Yeu" was the middle of June, but year-round cut flower production was possible by storing the bulbs under -1 to -2℃ conditions. The flower has unspotted, upward facing, and orange petals without fragrance. The plant height at the natural flowering time is 50±5.7 cm. The width of flower is 12.6±0.5 cm. The weight and circumference of bulb are 18.4±6.8 g and 12.4±2.2 cm, respectively. For forcing culture, it is necessary to add calcium to the fertilizer or remove side scales to prevent leaf scorch. Botrytis disease should be properly controlled especially in wet season.

"Black Eye", an Asiatic lily cultivar was released by the National Horticultural Research Institute (NHRI) in 2006. A crossing was made between an Asiatic lily "La Toya", a purple colored variety, and an Asiatic lily "Nerone", a dark red colored variety in 1997. Selection was made in natural cultivation condition from the progenies of a cross combination between "La Toya" and "Nerone" in 2000. The flower characteristics and performance of "Black Eye" were investigated from 2001 to 2005 as Wongyo C1-89. The natural flowering time of "Black Eye" at rain shelter condition was the middle of June, but year-round cut flower production was possible by storing the bulbs at -1 to -2℃ condition. It has black spotted and upward facing dark red petals without fragrance. The plant height is 118 cm. The width of flower is 16.8 cm. The weight and circumference of bulb are 25.9 g and 13.7 cm, respectively. For forcing culture at winter season, it is necessary to add Ca++ to the fertilizer or remove side scales to prevent leaf scorch. Botrytis disease should be properly controlled especially during wet season.

"Sunny Gold", an Asiatic lily variety was released by the National Horticultural Research Institute (NHRI), in 2006. A cross was made between a yellow colored Asiatic lily variety "Mona" and a light yellow colored Asiatic lily variety "A93-15(Sunray x Foxtrot)" in 1996. Selection was made in the natural cultivation condition from the progenies derived from the cross between "Mona" and "A93-15" in 1998. The flower characteristics and performance of "Sunny Gold (line name was Wonkyo C1-88)" were investigated from 2000 to 2005. Although its flowering time is middle of the June, year-round cut flower production was possible by storing the bulbs at -1 or -2℃. It has unspotted, upward facing, and yellow petals with no fragrance. The plant height is 87.3 cm. The width of flower is 14.2 cm. The weight and circumstance of bulb are 15.2 g and 10.9 cm, respectively. For forcing culture, it is necessary to add calcium to the fertilizer or remove side scales to prevent leaf scorch. Botrytis disease should be properly controlled especially in wet season.

"Pinky Smile", an Asiatic lily variety was released by the National Horticultural Research Institute (NHRI), in 2006. A cross was made between a light pink colored Asiatic lily variety "Marlene" and a white colored Asiatic lily variety "Pinguin" in 1998. Selection was made in the natural cultivation condition from the progenies derived from the cross between "Marlene" and "Pinguin" in 2000. The flower characteristics and performance of "Pinky Smile (line name was Wongyo C1-82)" were investigated from 2001 to 2005. Although its flowering time is early June, year-round cut flower production was possible by storing the bulbs at -1 or -2℃. It has unspotted, upward facing, and ivory-pink (RP62A+W155B) petals with no fragrance. The plant height is 107 cm. The width of flower is 13.9 cm. The weight and circumstance of bulb are 39.3 g and 15.4 cm, respectively. For forcing culture, it is necessary to add calcium to the fertilizer or remove side scales to prevent leaf scorch.
