The purpose of this study was to analyze trends in sustainable fashion research and to guide its the development by examining previous research projects conducted by the UK Centre for Sustainable Fashion. A literature review and case studies were conducted from which the following results were identified. It was shown that the CSF has cooperated with fashion, arts and technology businesses and other external organizations. The CSF has contributed to improving the economic durability of the fashion industry, the convergence of both local and the international fashion communities, and the development of cultural sustainability. Moreover, it incorporates various academic fields into its research and has developed advanced researching methods for sustainable fashion. The CSF has embraced the new perspectives by utilizing student ideas for the development of sustainable fashion. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, the CSF studied the sustainability of fashion from a more organic perspective through multidisciplinary research. Second, it has expanded the possibility of sustainable fashion research through research formats, research fields and research operations. Finally, it has evoked values and responsibilities that the fashion industry should pursue in modern society and has become an exemplary case of sustainable fashion research, providing creative studies for sustainable fashion research in the future.

Leaves are the organ for photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration, and have a major effect on crop yield. Therefore, leaf shape and structure are important agronomic traits in breeding for ideal type plant. We obtained a new abaxially rolled leaf mutant from Ilpum(Oryza sativa ssp. japonica) by the treatment of ethyl methane sulfonate(EMS). The abaxially rolled leaf mutant showed reduced plant height and panicle length, increased tiller number and panicle number than Ilpum. LRI(Leaf rolling index) analysis showed that the mutant have high value compared to the wild-type. In cross section analysis, the mutant was observed to have increased of bulliform cell number and size, and led to the outcurved leaf rolling. The phenotypes of the F1 plants derived from the cross between the mutant and Ilpum were normal. In F2 population, segregation ratio between the wild type and the mutant was 3:1. This genetic analysis indicated that leaf rolling is controlled by single recessive gene. Bulked segregant analysis(BSA) and genetic mapping were conducted using F2 population derived from the cross between mutant and Milyang23(Oryza sativa ssp. indica). According to the results, the gene was located on the long arm of chromosome2. Fine mapping is in progress.

Plastochron and phyllotaxy are important traits to determine plant architecture. A plastochron 1-6 mutant was derived from japonica rice cultivar Koshihikari treated with ethylmethane sulfonate (EMS). The plastochron 1-6 mutant showed reduced plant height, shorter internode length, smaller and more leaves than Koshihikari, its wild type. In addition, the mutant has abnormal panicle, abnormal seed and upper node tillers. The F1 plants between mutant and Koshihikari were normal. In F2 population, segregation ratio between the wild type and mutant was fitted to 3:1. This genetic analysis indicated that plastochron 1-6 is controlled by a single recessive gene. Bulked segregant analysis revealed that the gene was located on chromosome 10. Through sequencing analysis, we found that plastochron 1-6 mutant had a single nucleotide transition occurred in the first exon of LOC_Os10g26340 (encoding P450 CYP78A11).
