An interest in the production of seed-oil based fuel and raw materials, which comes from renewable plant sources, has been intrigued by the phenomenon of global warming and shortage of fossil fuels. Rapeseed (Brassica napus) is the most important oilseed crop, which produces seeds with 40% oil. It is desirable to develop genetically modified rapeseed producing oils, which can be easily converted to biodiesel. As an initial step for development of genetically modified rapeseed for the production of biofuels or bio-based materials, Korean rapeseed cultivars, Naehan, Youngsan, Tammi and Halla, were analyzed. Four Korean rapeseed cultivars produce 32 to 40% oil of seed dry weight, which is rich in oleic acid (more than 60 mole%). The cotyledonary petioles of rapeseed cultivar, Halla, were transformed using Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101, carrying the uidA gene encoding $\beta$-glucuronidase (GUS) as a reporter gene and the phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT) gene as a selectable marker. The stable integration of PAT gene in the genome of transgenic rapeseeds was confirmed by PCR analysis. Expression of uidA gene in various rapeseed organs was determined by fluorometric assay and histochemical staining. Transformation efficiency of a Korean rapeseed Halla cultivar was 10.4%. Genetic inheritance of transgenes was confirmed in $T_2$ generation.

The coastal sand dunes have transitional characteristics of marine and inland ecosystems, and they have abundant biodiversity. This study investigated flora and vegetation and analyzed the landscape structure at seven beaches in Busan metropolitan city. As a result, the vascular species of the coastal sand dunes in Busan were identified as 178 taxa of 140 families. Vegetation landscape was damaged to the extent that no natural vegetation was found in 4 of 7 beaches (57%). The coastal dune vegetation was dominated by the Carex pumila community and Carex kobomugi community. The halophyte and invasive alien species were classified into 18 taxa (10% of all species) and 40 taxa (22% of all), respectively. The vegetation that made up the largest area was the Phragmites communis community of the salt marsh, and the species number of halophyte increased as the wetland area increased. This means that the maintenance and management of salt marshes is important to conserve the unique plant diversity of the region.

$Iso{\ddot{e}}tes$ L. ($Iso{\ddot{e}}taceae$) is a cosmopolitan genus of heterosporous lycopods containing ca. 200 species being found in lakes, streams, and wetlands of terrestrial habitats. Despite its ancient origin, worldwide distribution, and adaptation to diverse environment, species in $Iso{\ddot{e}}tes$ show remarkable morphological simplicity and convergence. Allopolyploidy appears to be a significant speciation process in the genus. These characteristics have made it difficult to assess the phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic history of $Iso{\ddot{e}}tes$ species. In recent years, these difficulties have somewhat been reduced by employing multiple molecular markers. Here, we reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships in East Asian $Iso{\ddot{e}}tes$ species. We also provide their divergence time and biogeographic origin using a fossil calibrated chronogram. East Asian $Iso{\ddot{e}}tes$ species are divided into two clades: I. asiatica and the remaining species. $Iso{\ddot{e}}tes$ asiatica from Hokkaido forms a clade with northeastern Russian and western North American $Iso{\ddot{e}}tes$ species. In clade I, western North America is the source area for the dispersal of $Iso{\ddot{e}}tes$ to Hokkaido and northeastern Russia via the Bering land bridge during the late Miocene. The remaining $Iso{\ddot{e}}tes$ species (I. sinensis, I. yunguiensis, I. hypsophila, I. orientalis, I. japonica, I. coreana, I. taiwanensis, I. jejuensis, I. hallasanensis) from East Asia form a sister group to Papua New Guinean and Australian species. The biogeographic reconstruction suggests an Australian origin for the East Asian species that arose through long-distance dispersal during the late Oligocene.

일본에서는 북해도에서 1940년대부터 라벤더재배를 시작하여, 1960년대부터 포푸리 중심의 허브산업이 전개하였다. 본토에서는 1980년대에 허브관련상품이 개발되어, 1990년이후 허브가든, 허브��, 전문허브스쿨, 국내외여행, 잡지서적 등이 대량으로 출현, 출판되어 있다. 일본에서는 유럽형가든형이 가장 많은 비율을 차지하고(60%), 공원의 일부에 허브를 식재한형(26.4%)과 식물원내에서의 약용식물원형(13.6%)이 보여졌다. 유럽과 다른 특징으로서는 지방자치체가 허브이벤트를 개최하거나 학습원을 조성하는 등을 통해 지역발전을 목적으로 하고 있다는 점이다. 일본의 경우, 서양허브이용은 1980년에 본격적으로 시작되어, 현재도 그 흐름을 유지하고 있으며, 허브가든의 급속한 증가는 사회의 욕구에 따르고 있다고 판단된다. 그러나 13개소 허브가든을 조사한 결과 5년간 이익이 증가한 곳은 겨우 3개소에 불과했고 9개소가 감소했다고 응답했다. 그 원인은 여러 가지 있겠지만 무엇보다도 상품의 대부분은 수입품이며, 허브 역시 서양종에 의존하고 있기 때문에, 서양허브의 재배기술의 확립과 동시에 일본 고유허브의 재평가와 더불어 유통, 마케팅 등 전문가도 함께 참여하는 이벤트가 필요할 것이다.

한국산 미나리아재비속 미나리아재비(Acris Schur)절에 속하는 미나리아재비(Ranunculus japonicus)와 근연종인 산미나리아재비(R. acris var. nipponicus) 및 바위미나리아재비(R. crucilobus)의 실체와 분류학적 한계를 파악하기위해 속, 종간 규명에 많이 이용하고 있는 핵리보좀(ribosomal) DNA의 internal transcribed spacer 구간의 염기서열을 분석하였다. 본 연구는 6개의 군외군을 포함하여 총 18개의 DNA 재료(accessions)의 정열된 염기서열들을 바탕으로 bootsrap을 포함한 maximum parsimony와 maximum likelihood 분석법에 의한 계통수로 평가하였다. 연구 결과 Acris절에 속하는 미나리아재비, 산미나리아재비 및 바위미나리아재비는 단계통군으로 나타났으며 특히 미나리아재비(R. japonicus)와 산미나리아재비(R. acris var. nipponicus)는 같은 분계조를 형성하였다. 이와 달리 바위미나리아재비는 미나리아재비와 산미나리아재비에서 분지된 결과를 보여, 한라산 해발 1500m이상의 높은 지역에 분포하는 바위미나리아재비는 미나리아재비의 아종(R. japonicus Thunb. subsp. chrysotrichus (Nakai) Y. N. Lee, comb. nud.)으로 처리하기보다는, 독립된 고유종인 R. crucilobus H. L$\acute{e}$v.으로의 처리를 지지하였다.

특용작물 선택은 자기지역의 입지조건에 알맞은 작물과 품종을 선정하여 농업경영을 합리적으로 다양화 할 필요가 있다. 우리나라는 다행히 기상변화가 뚜렷하고 작물의 종류도 대단히 많은 실정이므로 지역별 주산단지를 조성하여 생활필수품 또는 중요한 가공원료로서 용도를 가지고 있는 작목과 우리나라 고유의 특산품으로 각광을 받는 작물을 선택하여 재배함으로서 앞으로 다가올 올림픽용품 등을 제조 판매하거나 수출하여 외화를 획득할 수 있는 좋은 기회라고 생각된다. 그러므로 특용작물을 도입하여 농업경영을 합리화하려면 적지적작(適地適作)의 원칙에 따라 그 지방의 기후와 토지조건에 알맞은 종류와 품종을 선택하여 재배 기술과 수확, 조제, 가공방법 등을 잘 파악하여 재배하도록 한다.
