Native of soybean aphid (Aphis glycines Matsumura) is an Asia and aphid is one of the dangerous pests in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. High density aphid populations can reduce crop production by causing severe damage. The objective of this study was evaluation of resistance to the soybean aphid in soybean cultivars and germplasms. A total of fifty five soybean cultivars or germplasms, including two susceptible and two resistant check varieties, were infested to evaluate their resistance in the field cage and greenhouse test by aphid colonies which derived from wild collected one soybean aphid biotype in Korea. The average number of reproduced soybean aphid was evaluated with 62.7 aphids in the resistant check variety PI 567598B and also estimated with 1,807 aphids for susceptible check variety Williams 82. In soybean varieties and germplasms, the average reproduced soybean aphid populations ranged from the lowest 497 aphids for Junjeori to the highest 3,862 aphids for Mansu. About seventy six percent of soybean cultivars and germplasms were shown high density soybean aphid populations when compared with another susceptible check variety PI 567543C in the field cage test. From the greenhouse test to evaluate aphid index, 87.3% of soybean cultivars or germplasms presented aphid index with 9.0. No soybean cultivars and germplasms were observed with soybean resistant phenotype when regarded a aphid resistant level as less than 10% aphid reproductions compared with susceptible check Williams 82. Although no Korean soybean cultivars were identified with resistant trait to the soybean aphid, we found one great resistant genetic resource PI 567598B in this study. This result will be helpful to further study for providing useful genetic information for soybean researchers.

본 연구는 14개 육성 F1을 이용하여 진딧물과 응애 가해에 의한 옥수수의 수량감소율과 저항성 자식계통을 선발하고자 본 시험을 수행하였다. 진딧물 가해에 의한 수량감소율은 종실중(18.4%), 이삭장(10.9%), 이삭직경(1.7%), 100립중(5.4%), 종실 길이(2.3%), 종실 폭(1.5%), 종실 두께(-0.2%)이었다. 조사항목에 대한 수량감소의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 진딧물은 종실중과 이삭직경이 높은 고도의 유의한 정(+)의 상관(r=0.

Aphids are generally considered as a major pest of corn. Thus, yield losses due to aphid infection can be considerable. Rhopalosiphum padi - the birdcherry oct aphid seems to be prevalent aphid species on maize in Korea. Aphid resistance of 91 Fls was assessed at two locations in Korea. In studies of combining ability for aphid resistance to different locations, GCA mean square was 4.48 times grater than that of SCA mean square. Thus, additive gene action was more important than that of non-additive gene action to aphid resistance. In two locations, inbreds 2, 4, 5 and 10 had negative GCA effects for aphid resistance.
