A new Hibiscus syriacus ‘Danna’ was developed at the National Institute of Forest Science in 2013. It was initially derived from an artificial cross in 2004, between H. syriacus ‘Hanŏl’, a seed parent, a Korean local cultivar with vigorous growth and H. syriacus ‘Hanŏl-tanshim’, as a pollen parent, with long bloom period. ‘Danna’ was preliminarily selected as ‘KFRI-HH03’ for the aesthetic and stable quality of its unique color of its flower and rapid growth in elongation in 2008. Trial evaluation was conducted for 6 years (2008 - 2013), meanwhile, all investigated traits were retained in rooted cuttings originated from it. ‘Danna’ had a bright pink flower with very small red eye zone. Its flower diameter is 111.3 mm; length of red eye spot on petals is 13.8 mm. Leaves were 71.3 mm long and 43.1 mm wide, and petiole length was 14.2 mm. Flowering period of the cultivar investigated in 2013 was 81 days. It was registered as a new cultivar at the Korea Seed & Variety Service in 2015 (Grant Number 5756). Its tree habit shows vigorous and fast growth and is upright, so it can be used as an ornamental tree or a street tree.

Background : In order to develop new cultivar of hybrid kiwifruit with cold tolerance, high useful components and high quality fruit, we have been crossed ‘Hayward’ (Actinidia deliciosa) with A. arguta. The new hybrid kiwifruit cultivars were 'DM', 'HO', and 'JW'. Actinidia arguta, called hardy kiwifruit, has an edible smooth skin and contains high amounts of sugar and vitamin C. It is native to north China, Korea, and Japan. A. deliciosa are known as kiwifruit and originated in Southwest China. The fruit of A. deliciosa appreciated for its sweet, slightly acidic flesh and high nutritional value, especially due its high content in vitamin C like A. arguta. The cultivar ‘Hayward’ of A. deliciosa occupies the majority of the world kiwifruit cultivated surface, and is the cultivar commercially produced in Korea. However, the kiwifruit producing areas are limited to warm climates region, it can be cultivated in the southern parts of Korea. In our research, several hybrids have been developed to enhance cold tolerance by crossing ‘Hayward’ with domestic species. Methods and Results : In our research, several hybrids have been developed to enhance cold tolerance by crossing ‘Hayward’ with domestic species. Freeze dried the fruit of hybrid kiwifruit was finely ground, extracted twice with methanol (MeOH). The crude extracts of the fruit was analyzed with HPLC for vitamin C and β-carotene analysis. Conclusion : Moisture and carbohydrate contents of hardy kiwi fruit in this study varied from 81.40 - 83.57% and 14.63 - 16.90 g/100 g, respectively. Among new cultivars, JW had higher fat(0.17 g/100 g) and protein(1.33 g/100 g) contents than others. The highest vitamin C and β-carotene content of hardy kiwi fruit were 120.70 ㎎/ 100 g, 0.14 ㎎/kg, respectively in DM.

‘Haeoreum’, a new variety of Hibiscus syriacus was selected from the progenies of artificial breeding between ‘Bulkot’, as a mother plant, and ‘Wonhwa’, as a pollenizer, at the Korea Forest Research Institute in 2006. The preliminary, advanced and regional trials for evaluation and selection of this variety were carried out from 2012 to 2013. Investigated morphological characteristics showed that ‘Haeoreum’ is a simple flower type and has bell shape in open type of corolla. The diameter of flower is about 12.8mm, and the white petals are slightly folded each other. The length of red eye zone is very long, about 26.0mm. Leaf type is in oval shape, and leaf thickness, glossy level and the shape of leaf base is medium, medium and rounded, respectively. Its blooming period each year lasted more than 80 days, and the quantity of bloom is large in normal condition. In addition, it showed faster growth performance compared to the similar varieties, about 90cm per growing season in tree height. According to all these characteristics, the new variety ‘Haeoreum’ could be useful for large container plants or street trees.

A clone bank that contained highly productive and superior genotypes of R. coreanus Miq. was assembled in 1998. The clone bank was composed of a collection of 227 clones from 15 regions in Korea. From the clone bank, 198 clones that regularly completed flowering and fruiting were used as official materials for superior tree breeding. To evaluate the flowering and fruiting, the length of the fruiting lateral (LF), the number of flowers per fruiting lateral (NFL) and the number of fruit per fruiting lateral (NFFL) were investigated. Fruits were harvested when they fully ripen and the fruit length (FL), fruit width (FW), the weight of fruit (WF) and soluble solids were measured. In 2001, 17 of the original 227 clones were identified as being the most superior, and these selected genotypes were tested for regional adaptability in four different regions in 2002. Finally, these advanced selections including "Jung-Keum 5" were evaluated for flowering, fruiting and fruit production characteristics from 2002 to 2005. The new cultivar, "Jung-Keum 5" has black fruit color and larger fruit size than the contrast clone that was shown mean value for the most characteristics. Selection effect of the new cultivar were shown 148.8% (NFL), 151.2% (NFFL), 125.2% (WF) and 160.4% (yield/individual; YI) superior in comparison with the contrast clone, respectively.

A new cultivar of castor aralia (Kalopanax septemlobus Koidz) was developed via pure line selection at Korea Forest Research Institute. Among 200 plants, one clone was selected as it had improved characteristics for cultivation in 2002. Tested major characters were thorn appearance, size of lateral bud, the number of lateral bud, size of leaf and strength of shoot tissue. In 2006, the first Korean cultivar of castro aralia, Cheongsan was finally selected based on the performance of those characters for three years and registered the denomination of a new variety and certificated for variety production and merchandising in 2007. The new castor aralia cultivar, Cheongsan showed higher values for the most tested characters than control trees. Leaf length, leaf width and diameter of the bud base of Cheongsan were 17.22, 13.68 and 1.09 cm, respectively. Cheongsan also had higher number of shoots because it had twice as many lateral buds than control trees. Especially, Cheongsan has fewer thorns than control trees and its petiole color is light green. In addition, Cheongsan has shoot tissue which is advantageous in the use of shoot for a specialty vegetable.

Hovenia dulcis var. koreana Nakai is recently known to be a useful tree because of their medicinal function. In 1996, candidate trees were selected from 10 regions in Korea, and a clone bank was established in 1998 by grafted 70 candidate clones of candidate trees in order to breed high-yield superior trees. From 2003 to 2005, five clones were selected and screened by analyzing flowering and fruiting characteristics of 47 clones in the clone bank. “Poong-Sung 1”, a new high-yield superior H. dulcis var. koreana Nakai cultivar was finally selected from the 5 clones. The final selection focused on fruiting characteristics such as the number of fructify lateral (NFL), the number of average bunch per one fructify lateral (NABFL), the number of average bunch per fruiting lateral (NABPFL), the weight of fruit petiole per individual (WFPI) and the yield of individual (YI). Fruit petiole of “Poong-Sung 1” has dark brown skin color and fruit flesh color. Fruiting characteristics of “Poong-Sung 1” showed large better results and selection effects with an average of 19.3Ea (NFL), 4.75Ea (NABFL), 91.68Ea (NABPFL), 4.7 kg (WFPI) and 11.26 kg (YI) which are 158.8%, 147.1%, 233.9%, 401.7% and 412.5% superior compared to the mean of 47 clones, respectively.

This study was conducted to clarify the relation of the species of genus Sorbus in Korea based on multivariate analysis for the morphological characteristics and DNA polymorphism. Twenty-eight quantitative characters were assessed and analyzed by the principal component analysis and UPGMA cluster analysis. From the principal component analysis of 28 quantitative characters, three principal components (PC’s) explained the variation of inter-specific relations among the genus Sorbus. The first PC’s explained 58.95% of the variation with the Eigenvalue of 16.5, and the second and third PC’s showed the Eigenvalue of 8.3 and 3.1 and explained 88.74% and 100.0% of the variation, respectively. Especially, the first PC’s was related in order of the fruit width (FW) and length of terminal leaflet (LTL), petal length (PL), width of terminal leaflet (WTL), and diameter of winter bud (DWB). The second and third PC’s were involved in order of the No. of leaflet (NL), No. of fruit per fruiting lateral (NFL), length of upper rachis (LUR), and diameter of rachis (DR), No. of pistil (NP), respectively. Cluster analysis using them UPGMA method based on the principal components of four species of the genus Sorbus divided into two groups. Group Ⅰ comprises Sorbus commixta and S. sambucifolia var. pseudogracilis, and Group Ⅱ consists of S. amurensis and S. aucuparia. The pattern of DNA polymorphism of the 56 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers revealed that different taxa shared different sets of bands, and DNA analysis is useful for taxonomic study on the genus Sorbus.
