Hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) exceeds about 30% of the world’s cereal production and cultivated over 220 million ha worldwide. Heat stress during the grain filling period gives detrimental effect on crop yields and has emerged as a serious problem throughout the world. Korean wheat cultivars that were released since 1960s were developed for various aims such as winter hardness, earliness, and pest resistance, etc. However, heat stress resistance is an emerging target for wheat breeding nowadays. Selected 11 Korean wheat cultivars (“Baegjoong”, “Dajung”, “Goso”, “Hanbaek”, “Jokyung”, “Joeun”, “Jopum”, “Keumgang”, “Olgeuru”, “Sinmichal”, “Uri”) were exposed to high temperature from DAF (days after flowering) 9~13. In this study, plant responses to heat stress as measured by reduction ratios of total chlorophyll contents, 100 seed weight, shoot dry weight can be translated into degree of tolerance. Therefore, these parameters can be used in wheat breeding for heat tolerance during grain filling period. The obtained results allow us to classify cultivars for heat stress tolerance. Pedigree information of Korean cultivars was shown that wheat line of either tolerant, moderate tolerant, or susceptible trait is succeeded to their descendent, which enable breeders to develop heat stress tolerant wheat by appropriate parental choice.

대부분의 포유동물에서 수란관내로 배란된 난자는 정자에 의해 수정이 된 후 개체발생을 시작한다. 그러나 수정이 되지 못한 난자들은 난구세포와 함께 수란관내에서 퇴화하여 제거되는데, 그 기작에 대해서는 구체적으로 알려져 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구는 포유동물의 수란관내 물질이 난자-난구 복합체에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 사람의 난포액과 소의 수란관 조직 추출액을 생쥐의 난자-난구 복합체에 처리하고 난자의 생존율 및 난구세포의 세포자연사(apoptosis)를
