The production of sweet (su) and super sweet corns (sh2) has been economically feasible in Korea in recent years. Major factors limiting super sweet corn production are low germination and low seedling vigor. Since seed quality is closely related to seed maturity, the optimum harvest time for the seed production of sweet and super sweet corns was studied and the quality of seeds with varying maturities was investigated in 2001 and 2002 cropping seasons. The parents of the sweet corn seeds were Hybrid Early Sunglow and 'Golden Cross Bantam 70' and those of super sweet corn were Xtrasweet 82 and 'For­tune'. Seeds were harvested at 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, and 56 days after silking (DAS). As the seeds developed, seed weight of sweet corn increased and the seed moisture content decreased faster than that of super sweet corn. Germination rates of sweet corn seeds harvested 21 and 28 DAS at 25~circC and emergence rates in the cold soil test were significantly lower than those of seeds harvested after 42 DAS in both years. Although the germination rates of super sweet corn seeds with varying maturities showed similar patterns as sweet corn seeds at 25~circC , the emergence rate of super sweet corn seeds in cold soil test continuously increased with seed maturity. This suggests that seed quality of super sweet corn should be tested in a cold soil test to estimate field emergence. As the seeds developed, leakage of total sugars and electrolytes from the both sweet and super sweet corn seeds decreased up to 42 or 49 DAS. The α-amylase activities of both sweet and super sweet corn seeds increased with seed maturity from 21 to 35 or 49 DAS depending on genotype and year. The optimum harvest time for the seed production of sweet corn was 42 DAS and 49 DAS for super sweet corn considering emergence rate and plumule dry weight in the cold soil test, leakage of sugars and electrolytes from the seeds, and α-amylase activity.

A new peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) variety “Jakwang” was developed from the cross between HYQ(CG)S-10 and Suwon 101 by the Yongnam Agricultural Research Institute(YARI) and Honam Agricultural Research Institute(HARI) in 2003. This variety has Shinpung typ

“Mansang” (Lactuca sativa L.) is new romaine type lettuce cultivar developed from a cross between Late Texasgreen and Ithaca by the lettuce breeding team of National Institute of Highland Agriculture (NIHA), RDA in 2002. The preliminary, advanced, and reg

최근 비교적 재배면적이 넓은 일미벼, 대산벼, 동안벼와 이들의 모본들로 구성된 23품종의 유전적 다양성을 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 1999년에서 2001년에 잎도열병과 이삭도열병이 심하게 발병한 일미벼. 대산벼, 동안벼는 밀양95호를 모본으로 육성되었다. 2. 밀양95호를 모본으로 하는 품종들에 대해 SSR 마커를 이용하여 유전적 다양성을 조사한 결과 57개 유전자좌위에서 170개(평균 3.0개)의 alleles이 관찰되었으며 대립유전자수는 2개에서 7개까지 다양하였다. 특히, RM249, RM206, OSR20은 6개 이상의 대립유전자를 가져 근연의 자포니카 벼품종간의 유전적 다양성 평가에 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 3.증폭된 밴드의 유무를 바탕으로 품종간 유전적 거리를 산출하여 군집분석을 실시한 결과 크게 4개의 군으로 나뉘었으며 일미벼, 대산벼, 동안벼는 모본인 밀양95호와 유전적 배경이 매우 유사하였다. 4. 같은 계보상의 품종들에 대해 도열병 저항성 유전자 인근의 마커를 이용한 유전적 다양성 분석결과가 계보도와 일치하여 이들 품종들의 저항성 유전자형 또한 유사할 것으로 추청할 수 있었다. 5. 조사품종의 계보상의 allele 전이를 분석한 결과 11번 염색체의 RM254의 3번째 allele과 12번 염색체의 OSR32의 2번째 allele이 밀양95호로부터 계속 전이되었음을 알 수 있었으며 이들 alleles의 도열병 이병화와의 연관성 여부는 추후에 검토가 이루어져야할 것이다.
