흑진주찰(수원찰57호)은 자식계통 KBW24을 종자친으로하고 KBW2를 화분친으로 하여 교잡된 단교잡종이며 고품질 검정찰옥수수이다. 흑진주찰은 2003년 생산력검정시험을 거쳐, '06~'08년 3년 동안 전국 5개 지역에서 지역적응시험을 실시한 결과 그 우수성이 인정되어 2008년 농작물 직무육성 신품종으로 결정되었다. 이 품종의 주요특성을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 흑진주찰의 출사일수는 74일로 중만숙종에 속하며 이삭 길이가 16.0 cm로 찰옥1호

우리나라 찰옥수수 및 종실용 옥수수 품종들의 교배친인 11개의 자식계통의 유전적 다양성 및 계통간 유연관계를 50개의 SSR 마커를 사용하여 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 50개의 SSR primer들은 찰옥수수 및 종실용 옥수수 품종들의 교배친인 11개 자식계통들에서 총 171개의 대립단편을 증폭시켰고, 각 SSR primer들에서 증폭된 대립단편의 수는 최소 2개에서 최대 6개의 범위로 나타나 SSR loci당 평균 3.4개가 증폭되었으며, 유전

This experiment was conducted to examine the influence of four plant growth regulators on growth, photosynthesis parameters and yield of soybean. To increase dry matter accumulation of seeds, some growth regulators were applied to field grown soybean cv. Sinpaldalkong #2 as determinate type and Muhankong as indeterminate type at dense planting condition. Choline caused significant reduction of stem length, but did not increase seed yield. The number of leaf and total leaf area were showed significant increase in all the treatments, but those increased tremendously in Muhankong treated with ethrel. CO2 assimilation and water use efficiency of a single leaf were showed the highest as 17.2 molm-2s-1 and 9.3 μ mmol mol-1 treated with mepiquat in Sinpaldalkong, respectively. The Photosynthetic rate was closely related to stomatal conductance, transpiration and water use efficiency. Mepiquat treatment mainly produced positive effects on the number of pods, percent of pod setting, number of seeds per pod in two cultivars and also increased their seed yield as compared with control.

Knowledge of genetic diversity and of the genetic relationships among elite breeding materials has had a significant impact on the improvement of crops. In maize, this information is particularly useful in i) planning crosses for hybrid and line development, ii) in assigning lines to heterotic groups and iii) in plant variety protection. We have used the SSR technique to study the genetic diversity and genetic relationships among 76 Korean waxy corn accessions, representing a diverse collection from throughout Korea. Assessment of genetic diversity among members of this group was conducted using 30 microsatellite markers. Among these 30 microsatellite markers, we identified a total of 127 alleles (with an average of 4.2 and a range of between 2 and 9 alleles per locus). Gene diversity at these 30 microsatellite loci varied from 0.125 to 0.795 with an average of 0.507. The cluster tree generated with the described microsatellite markers recognized two major groups with 36.5% genetic similarity. Group I includes 63 inbred lines, with similarity coefficients of between 0.365 and 0.99. Group II includes 13 inbred lines, with similarity coefficients of between 0.45 and 0.85. The present study indicates that the 30 microsatellite loci chosen for this analysis are effective molecular markers for the assessment of genetic diversity and genetic relationships between Korean waxy corn accessions. Specifically, this study's assessment of genetic diversity and relationships between a set of 76 Korean waxy corn inbred lines will be helpful for such activities as planning crosses for hybrid and line development and association mapping analyses of maize breeding programs in Korea.
