This study was conducted to obtain the basic breeding information of Colocasia esculenta Schott. Effect of supplemental plant growth regulators and genotype difference were investigated on dormant bud tissue for proliferation. The plant regeneration ratio, plant height and root length were the best upon mixed treatment of 0.8mg/L IAA and 2.0mg/L zeatin. Both leaf weight and root weight were heavy upon culture in a dark condition. The leaf and root weights were heaviest in 6Pie sucrose concentrations. In several collected area the heaviest one was Binnangxin and then in the order of Suwon, Wanju and Puan. Genotype differences of tuber diameter and tuber weight were found in Suwon. Tuber weight was found in the order of Suwon (862mg) >Wanju(723mg) >Puan(649mg) >Binnangxin (424mg).

Fifty-nine Korean soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) landrace accessions were tested for genotype fingerprinting, differentiation and association between morphological traits and SSR profile. Using 8 SSR loci, 59 varieties were divided into 55 groups, and only 4 pairs of varieties were not uniquely identified. The resolving power of SSR for soybean genotyping was much higher than that of the morphological traits that were studied. Identification efficiency also differed among SSR loci. Those loci with higher numbers of alleles distinguished varieties more effectively. Genetic differentiation values of the soybean landraces varied from 0.57 to 0.82 with a mean of 0.68. The number of alleles detected by the 8 loci ranged from 3 to 8. and the effective number of alleles ranged from 2.3 to 5.1. In a study of the association of SSR alleles with morphological traits, some alleles seemed to be related with some specific morphological traits. Comparison of two kinds of dendrograms which were derived from SSR markers and quantitative traits indicated that the dendrograms were not consistent. Considering the correlation between single SSR locus and qualitative traits governed by major genes, the data suggest that alleles of microsatellite loci be more closely related to some traits determined by major genes than those determined by minor genes.

콩 유전자형간 상호접목을 통하여 지상부 생육과 콩깍지에 대한 종실건물중 비율에 미치는 영향을 비교 검토하고자, 꼬투리의 비대가 충실한 백운콩과 수원 158호, 꼬투리 크기에 비하여 종실건물축적이 불량한 수집검정콩 강릉재래 및 금릉재래를 공시하여, 자가접목 및 4개 유전자형간 상호접목을 한 후 이식재배시험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 지상부의 생육정도와 콩깍지 및 종실건물중은 지상부 유전자형간 유의적인 차이가 인정되었으나, 지하부 유전자형간 차이가 없었다. 2. 백립중 및 꼬투리에 대한 종실건물중 비율도 지상부 유전자형에 의하여 결정되기 때문에, 상대적으로 양분흡수와 밀접한 관련이 있는 지하부 유전자형과는 관계가 적었다. 3. 접목된 개체들의 콩깍지 건물중과 콩깍지에 대한 종실건물 비율은 유의적인 부의 상관관계를 나타내고 있어, 콩깍지 건물중이 클수록 콩깍지에 대한 종실건물 비율이 낮아지는 경향이었다.
