Rose (Rosa Hybrida Hort.) are of a high symbolic value and a great cultural importance in different societies. They are widely used as garden ornamental plants and as cut flowers. For the induction of mutation, gamma-rays are widely used as a mutagen. This study was carried out to establish a system for mutation breeding by irradiation of gamma-ray in rose. The rooted cuttings of five cultivar roses (Lovelydia, Vital, Aqua, Yellowbabe and Haetsal) are grown by in a greenhouse. They were two difference treatment (Before rooting gamma-ray irradiation, After rooting gamma-ray irradiation) were exposed to dose of 70 Gy using a 60Co gamma-irradiator (150 TBq of capacity ; ACEL, Canada) at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. The irradiated plants were planted in a greenhouse, and investigated survival rate, mutation rate, flower buds number, and shoot length were planted after 80days. The two treatments of and growth characters was significantly reduced to 20% to 40% compared with the control. In addition, survival rate and mutation rate were ‘after rooting γ-ray irradiation (37.4~67.3% and 0.5~5.6%)’ higher than ‘before rooting γ-ray irradiation (18.3~50.8% and 0.3~3.4%)’. Mutation types were solid type, chimeric and mosaic petal mutants with various colors were induced from five rose. These results indicate that efficiency of mutation induction in rose by gamma-ray irradiation on petal colors and petal shapes in two difference treatment with rooted cutting system.

Recently, giant embryonic rice and functional rice food are preferred by more consumers, which are attributed to the fact that the embryo has high concentrations of essential amino acids, fatty acids, and vitamins relative to other parts of rice grains. In this report, the heredity and stability of giant embryo mutations in successive generations were analyzed regarding a giant embryonic line, 'P47', induced by T-DNA insertion and a F2 population from a cross between 'P47' and 'Junam'. The mutant lines with increases of 1.5, 1.7 and 1.8 times on embryo length, width and 100-embryo weight to those of the control showed stable inheritance across three generations. The continuous frequency distributions of embryo size in the F2 population showed that the embryo size is a quantitative trait of polygene controlled. In addition, wide range of transgressive segregations of six traits affecting embryo size confirmed exchange of genetic materials and recombination between genes controlling embryo size. Five giant embryo mutant lines selected from the F2 population will be used for artificial selection and improvement of giant embryonic varieties.

고추냉이의 배수체를 유도하기 위하여 EMS와 colchicine을 처리하였을 때 변화되는 단백질과 과산화효소 활성은 다음과 같이 나타났다. 발아율은 무주산이 울릉도산 보다 높았으며, GA3 100 ppm+ EMS 10 ppm 혼용처리시 무처리구에 비하여 모두 6배 이상 증가되었다. Mutagen 처리후 생존율도 울릉도산 보다 무주산에서 더 높게 나타났으며, 과산화효소 활성과 와사비의 초장은 감소되어 나타난 반면, 줄기와 뿌리는 비대되는 경향을 보였다. 무주산과 울릉도산의 단백질 양상이 비슷하고, mutagen을 처리했을 때 polypeptide spot수가 증가되었으나 단백질 pattern은 다르게 나타났고, 특히 EMS 처리는 무처리구에 비하여 현저하게 다른 양상을 보였다.

수도 재배품종의 단점형질을 수양코자 상풍벼와 섬진벼 종자에 λ -선을 20kR로 조사하여 단간 및 조숙돌연변이 계통을 선발하는 과정에서 얻은 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 품종간에 변이출현율은 섬진벼보다 상풍벼에서 높게 나타났으며 조신선량간에는 두 품종 모두 20kR보다 25kR 조신구에서 높게 나타났다. 2. M2 세대에서 단간 조숙 및 유성변이체의 출현율은 상풍벼 20kR와 25kR에서 각각 1.10%와 1.47%, 섬진벼 20kR와 25kR에서 0.51%와 1.25%이었다. 3. M3 세대에서 단간돌연변이 계통중 상풍벼와 섬진벼의 두 품종 모두 25kR 조신구에서 모품종에 비해 각각 간장이 57%와 40%RK지 단축된 단간변이계통을 선발할 수 있었고, 모품종에 비해 10%정도 단축된 계통이 많이 출현하였다. 4. M3 세대에서 출수기의 변이분포는 비교적 넓었고 상풍벼와 섬진벼에서 모품종보다 출수기가 각각 30일과 20일 빠른 조숙돌연변이 계통을 선발할 수 있었고 모품종에 비해 7일 정도 단축된 계통의 출현은 많았다.
