Effect of phase transformation and grain-size variation of hot-pressed cobalt on its dry sliding wear was investigated. The sliding wear test was carried out against glass (83% SiO2) beads at 100N load using a pin-on-disk wear tester. Worn surfaces, cross sections, and wear debris were examined by an SEM. Phases of the specimen and wear debris were identified by an XRD. Thermal transformation of the cobalt from the hcp ε phase to the γ (fcc) phase during the wear was detected, which was deduced as the wear mechanism of the sintered cobalt.

The purposes of this research project are to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with yield-related traits using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross between a high-yield soybean genotype SS0404-T5-76 and Daewonkong and to develop high-yield soybean and lodging-resistant sprout soybean cultivars. For development of DNA markers and identification of functional sequence variations, firstly, whole genome of five soybean genotypes, Sinpaldalkong 2, SS2-2, Pungsanamulkong, SS0404-T5-76 and Daewongkong, were sequenced using Illumina Hi-Seq technology. SS2-2 is a EMS-induced mutant of Sinpadalkong 2. SS0404-T5-76 showing high-yield is a F8 RIL derived from a cross of Pungsanamulkong x SS2-2. Daewonkong is a elite cultivar with high-protein. Furthermore, to construct a genetic linkage map, we are advancing F4 lines of SS0404-T5-76 x Daewonkong by single seed-descent. Secondly, we developed high-protein and high-yield soybean lines and lodging-resistant sprout lines. Area-adaptability tests of these promising lines are performing in three different locations including Jeju, Naju, and Suwon. Based on the results of area adaptability tests, we are planing to conduct cultivar registration of the promising soybean lines.

The identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) has the potential to enhance the efficiency of im- proving food processing traits of soybean. In this study, 92 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) loci and two morphological markers (W1 and T) were used to identify QTL associated with food processing traits of soybean for sprout in 83 F2 -derived lines from a cross of ＇Pureun＇ x ＇Jinpum 2＇. The genetic map consisted of 76 loci which covered about 760 cM and converged into 20 linkage groups. Eighteen markers remained unlinked. Phenotypic data were collected for hypocotyl length, abnormal seedling rate, and sprout yield seven days after seed germination at 20~circC . Based on the single-factor analysis of variance, eight independent markers were associated with hypocotyl length. Four of seven markers associated with abnormal seedling rate were identified as independent. Seven loci were associated with sprout yield. For three different traits, much of genetic variation was explained by the identified QTL in this population. Several RFLP markers in linkage group (LG) Bl were detected as being associated with three traits, providing a genetic explanation for the biological correlation of sprout yield with hypocotyl length (r=OA07＊＊＊) and with abnormal seedling rate (r=-406＊＊＊).

수원 작물시험장 등 전국 각도 9개 지역에서 1990 및 1991년에 걸쳐 수행된 콩 지방적응연락시험에서, 팔달콩 등 10개의 공시계통들의 평균 수량을 조사하였으며, 수량안정성을 여러가지 방법으로 분석하여 상호 비교하였다. 수량 안정성분석은 Francis와 Kannenberg의 coefficient of variability, Finlay와 Wilkinson의 regression coefficient, Eberhart와 Russell의 deviation parameter, Plaisted의 variance component, Wricke의 ecovalence등 5개 분석방법을 이용하였으며 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 분산성분 비교에 의하면, 수량에 대한 콩유전자와 지역간 상호작용 분산성분이 콩유전자 및 년차간 상호작용 분산성분보다 약 7배 높아서, 정확한 수량안정도 평가를 위해서는 여러 해 걸쳐서 콩계통을 평가하기보다는 더 많은 지역에서 평가되어야 할 것으로 보였다. 2. 2년차 9개지역에서 수원 14005('92년 태광콩으로 장려품종 지정)가 평균수량이 높았으며, 5개 안정성 분석결과 수량안정도도 높았다. 3. 안정도계수 종류들 간의 rank correlation 분석결과, Eberhart와 Russell, Plaisted, 그리고 Wricke의 방법들 간의 고도의 유의적인 상관관계가 있었으나, Francis와 Finlay 방법은 다른 분석방법들과는 상관관계가 인정되지 않았다.
