In order to select excellent cross parents in strawberry breeding, 11 varieties were self-pollinated and tested their progenies. Among the 11 varieties, 'Akihime', 'Maehyang' and 'Seolhyang' showed superior in plant vigor, disease resistance and yield. Combining ability was tested using 15 progenies obtained from crosses between 3 selected varieties as seed parents and 5 varieties as pollen parents. Plant vigor was the strongest when 'Akihime' was used as a seed parent while ripening time tended to the fastest when 'Seolhyang' as a seed parent. Average fruit weight of the crosses 'Seolhyang' ${\times}$ 'Tochiotome', 'Seolhyang' ${\times}$ 'Geumhyang', 'Seolhyang' ${\times}$ 'Wongyo 3111' and 'Akihime' ${\times}$ 'Wongyo 3111' were above 18 g for marketable fruits. Fruit hardness was superior at crosses of 'Maehyang' as a seed parents to other crosses combinations, especially 'Maehyang' ${\times}$ 'Tochiotome'. Soluble solid contents (SSC) was not significantly different among cross combinations. The best cross combination for marketable yield was 'Akihime' ${\times}$ 'Wongyo 3111', followed by 'Seolhyang' ${\times}$ 'Geumhyang', 'Maehyang' ${\times}$ 'Geumhyang', 'Akihime' ${\times}$ 'Tochiotome', in order.

A new pale yellow gerbera(Gerbera hybrida Hort.) cultivar 'Honey Cream' was developed from a cross between 'Princessa' and 'Picasso', followed by seedling and line selections at the Flower Research Institute, Gyeongnam Agricultural Research and Extension Services(ARES) in 2006. Three times evaluations were conducted from 2003 for the detailed characteristics of the new cultivar. 'Honey Cream' has semi-double type large flowers in good harmony with pale yellow(RHS, 11-D) ray floret and green center. It has good, stable flower shape and strong peduncle, and its vase life was 12.3 days. The average flower yield of 'Honey Cream' was about 48.5 stems per plant/year in greenhouse trails during 2003 and 2006. This cultivar was registered to the Korea Seed and Variety Service(KSVS) for commercialization in 2007. Year-round production of this cultivar is possible in the greenhouse condition in Korean climate.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) anthers collected from different genotypes were cultured to investigate the priority to increase callus production rate among several factors affecting on callus formation. Rice varieties, F$_1$ hybrids and F$_2$ plants differed greatly in their abilities to produce callus from anthers, and it was confirmed that the culturability of rice anther was a heritable characteristic. Cold shock treatment before plating anthers promoted callus formation rate, but combined effect with genotype having high culturability was more significant. The response to sucrose concentration in culture medium in callus induction rate was different between rice genotypes, but combined effect with genotype was not significant. Single supplement of NAA to R$_2$ medium increased callus production rate remarkably only in rice genotype having high culturability. Conclusively selection of genotypes is most important to increase callus initiation frequency from rice anthers.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the combining ability of japonica rices for improving the salinity tolerance at seedling stage. Nine varieties used in partial diallel analysis included three varieties of each tolerant, moderately tolerant and susceptible one. Twelve-day-old seedlings were grown in saline solution, initially at an EC of 6 dS /m for four days, followed by an EC of 12 dS /m for 20 days. The agronomic characters at seedling stage such as plant height, dry shoot weight and dry root weight were measured to analyze for combining ability of the parents. General combining ability(GCA) and specific combining ability(SCA) effects were highly significant for all tested parameters. However, mean squares for GCA were about five times larger than that for SCA suggesting the preponderance of additive gene action. Among tolerant varieties, Gaori and Namyang 7 were good combiner for improving the salinity tolerance at seedling stage in GCA as well as SCA.

Various factors reducing seed yield in 4 Larix species throughout the whole reproductive cycle were investigated and partitionate losses attributed to them were determined. Pollen quality, lack of pollination, and degeneration of female gametophyte played minor roles in reducing seed yield. Failure of pollinated ovules to be fertilized was an important factor causing seed loss. Embryo degeneration was also a major factor causing seed loss in all 4 species. Strobili abortion, which causes loss of all potential seeds in a cone, was the most important factor in reducing seed loss in this study. Based on the results obtained from this studs, hybridizations in either direction between European larch and Japanese larch are likely to resulting viable seed. However, hybridization between tamarack as a mother tree and European larch are not likely to result in viable seeds being produced.

This work was carried out to investigate on the retail cut yield and the meat quality of crossbred ducks. A total of 360 pullets that were produced from 4 mating methods used in this work. Four mating method were A) native ducks (female) $\times$ native ducks (male), B) meat-type ducks (female) $\times$ native ducks (male), C) native ducks (female) $\times$ meat-type ducks (male), and D) meat-type ducks (female) $\times$ meat-type ducks (male). Ducks were bred at the flat house, and selected nine ducks with similar weights from each treatment at the certain weeks (A, B, C 8 weeks; D 6 weeks). Selected ducks were slaughtered, calculated the retail cut yield(wing, back, neck, breast, leg), analyzed the physico-chemical compositions, and tested the sensory evaluation. Wing and neck meat ratios of D treatment were lowest (P<0.05), and breast meat ratio of B treatment was high (P<0.05) compared to other treatments. pH of duck meat was no difference among treatments, fat and protein contents of B treatment was highest, and collagen contents of D treatment was highest among all treatments. Meat color and physical compositions was no difference among treatments. Juiciness of D treatment meats was highest, and there was no difference between B and D treatments. Finally, mating method of native duck and meat-type duck affected on the retail cut yield, but did not improve on the physico-chemical compositions and sensory evaluation.

This study was conducted to develop a new synthetic breed of Korean native chicken. The combining ability and reciprocal effects for production traits were estimated on 1,157 hens from a $5{\times}5$ diallel cross-mating design using grand parent stock (GPS) lines of Korean native chicken. Body weight, viability, age at first egg laying, egg weight, and hen-day egg production were measured and analyzed. The results showed that the general combining ability (GCA) of the survival rate during laying periods was -9.6 to 11.1, with the highest value obtained in the W strain. Additionally, the GCA of the body weight at 12 weeks was -209.7 to 162.2, with the highest value obtained in the F strain. The GCA for age at fist egg laying was estimated to be -2.8 to 3.7, while the GCA of egg weight was -0.91 to 0.96, and the GCA of hen-day egg production was -4.9 to 6.0. In the estimation of specific combining ability, the YW combination showed the highest survival rate, FW showed the highest body weight at 12 weeks, and GW showed the highest hen-day egg production. The reciprocal effects were significantly different among crosses for almost all productivity traits. In identical breeding combinations, differences in ability were observed when the maternal or paternal breeds were switched. The mean value based on combining ability was higher in WY, WF, and GW combinations for survival rate; GF, HG, and HF combinations for body weight at 12 weeks; and GW, YW, and FW combinations for hen-day egg production. It is concluded that the GF and HF combinations, which have excellent growth performance and moderate survival rate, are the most desirable paternal parent stock (PS) strains, and the GW and FW combinations, which have great laying performance and moderate body weight, are the most desirable maternal PS strains.

In our experiment, selected mutants were used which showed not only the phenotype of a specific unpolished rice but also phenotypes of EM 40, LO 1050, and TAL 214. Reciprocal crosses between the mutants were conducted to select strains which would have more quantity of lipids than before. The constitution of fatty acid was also tested to figure out nutritional aspects of the mutants. In the crossing between EM 40 mutants and mutants (LO 1050) having a thick aleurone layer, the expression of EM 40 mutants has no relation with the thickness of the aleurone layer. And the lipid content of new F$_2$ strains through the crossing is 4.15 ％. The lipid content is larger than those of the parents including Kinmaze and in other crossings of this experiment. This is attributed to the fact that the new F$_2$ strains are the products of the crossing between genes responsible for the size of buds, where lipid is accumulated, and genes accountable for the thickness of the aleurone layer. In the crossing between EM 40 mutants and TAL 214 mutants, lipid content of the new F$_2$ strains is 3.8 ％, higher than 2.92 ％ of TAL 214 mutants. But the degree of lipid increase is smaller than in two other crossings. This is probably because genes expressing the phenotypes of TAL 214 affect the size of EM 40, which gets smaller. The aleurone layer of the new F$_2$ strains is 12 $\mu\textrm{m}$ thicker than the layer of TAL 214 mutants, but 6 $\mu\textrm{m}$ thinner than that of parents (LO 1050) having a thick aleurone layer. This seems to be affected by the size of a microscope. The phenotype of the new F$_2$ strains appears to be similar to that of TAL 214. The lipid content of the new F$_2$ strains is 3.85 ％, larger than 2.92 ％ of TAL 214 and 3.01 % of LO 1050. The increase may be due to the aleurone layer of LO 1050. And the size of the bud of the unpolished rice, though it is not big enough like that of LO 1050, seems to be affected by the accumulation of genes in the thick aleurone layer. The accumulation may contribute to the increase in the content of lipid. When it comes to the constitution of fatty acid, there is little difference between parents like Kinmaze and the new F$_2$ strains. But oleic acid increases while linoleic acid decreases. And the decrease in the linolenic acid seems to contribute to the increase in lipid content. This fact also raises the possibility that genes accountable for specific phenotypes could change the quality of rice if the genes are accumulated. Now, experiments on strains which have large lipid content in EM 40 type 1(ge-1, 3.68 ％), EM type 2(ge-2, 2.91 ％), thick aleurone layer(4.63 ％), and starch layer(3.44 ％) are under way to figure out the effects of gene accumulation. These experiments are likely to present the ways for increasing the lipid content.
