This study aims to survey the creation process of female figure as a whole by linking features of female association depending on Shen cong wen's creation period with the characteristics of female figures of each time. Female figures at the first creation period are, in many cases, just passive subjects looked into the eyes of the male writer. This is largely because of a woman named Ma, Yao Mei, and Ding ling, who were those Shen associated when he first started writing literatures. They were women who hided their true colors of wicked women under the veil of positive image of girl and seem to have a huge impact on the creation of female figures by Shen at the initial stage of his literature creation process. At the second period, female figures in his literatures are varied and colorful. There are novels in which a woman is a main character and stories, in many cases, are delivered from a point of view of a woman. Ding ling and Zhang zhao he associating with Shen at that time had a great impact on this. Literatures by Shen in this period were a dedication for the love and friendship with friends and lovers. Female figures at the third period have contradictory characteristics; sometimes it is too ordinary and plain, and others it is too abstract and difficult. This is related to the fact that the association with women did not directly motivate his creation at that time due to the reality called marriage and a special circumstance: war. But, in this period, he was absorbed in creation to capture the lively motion and beauty of life that he had constantly envisioned. In conclusion, by investigating the relationship between his association with women and female figures, the author has been able to identify the meaning of coincidence and women when it comes to creation, as the way he had expressed. His creative tendency was determined according to the nature of women he was in association with each time and the female figures did not stray from the shadows of women he was in association with. This feature on the creation of literatures by Shen suggests that his literary world and female figures are to be interpreted and studied in various ways in the fields such as eco-feminism and gender psychology.

Hybrid sterility is one of the major barrier to the application of wide crosses in plant breeding and is commonly encountered in crosses between indica and japonica rice varieties. Ten mapping populations comprised of two reciprocal F2 and eight BC1F1 populations generated from the cross between Ilpumbyeo (japonica) and Dasanbyeo (indica) were used to identify QTLs and to interpret the gametophytic factors involved in hybrid fertility or sterility between two subspecies. Frame maps were constructed using a total of 107 and 144 STS markers covering 12 rice chromosomes in two reciprocal F2 and eight BC1F1 populations, respectively. A total of 15 main-effect QTLs and 17 significant digenic- epistatic interactions controlling spikelet fertility (SF) were resolved in the the entire genome map of F2 BC1F1 populations . Among detected QTLs responsible for hybrid ferility, four QTLs, qSF5.1 and and qS F5.2 on chromosome 5, qSF6.2 on chromosome 6, and qSF12.2 on chromosome 12 were identified as major QTLs since they were located at corresponding position in at least three mapping populations. Loci qSF5.1, qSF6.1 and qSF6.2 were responsible for both female and male sterility, whereas qSF3.1, qSF7 and qSF 12.2 affected the spikelet fertility only through embryosac factors, and qSF9.1 did through pollen factors. Five new QTLs identified in this study will be helpful for understanding the hybrid sterility and for breeding programs via inter-subspecific hybridization.
