The methods of isoelectric focusing of 4 isozymes in polyacrylamide horizontal slab gels and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were applied to characterize the biochemical phenotypes of 19 cultivars of barley. Among 19 barley cultivars screened, 7 esterase, 3 phosphoglucose isomerase, 4 peroxidase and 2 alcohol dehydrogenase isozyme phenotypes were distinguished by isoelectric focusing. When purified DNA of each cultivar was digested with restriction enzyme EcoRV and analyzed its RFLPs with barley DNA markers pMSU 51 or pMSU 71, two distinct RFLP patterns were shown. Based on the four isozymes and two RELP polymorphisms, 19 cultivars of barley were classified into 13 biochemical phenotypes. Phylogenetical relationships among 13 biochemical phenotypes classified were determined using Nei's F-statistics and the phylogenetic dendrogram was constructed.

We have studied the DNA of Allium sativum L. with respect to highly repetitive sequences. Fast reassociated DNA fragments expected to be highly repetitive sequences based on $C_{o}t$ curve were isolated and characterized. Their copy numbers were approximately $10^{5}~10^{7}$ per haploid genome. Nucleotide sequences analysis of six candidates reveals that their G/C content were low, 25-40% and typical patterns of repeating sequences exist. Repeat sequences were used as probes to access restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of genomic DNAs of four local clones, Tanyang, Mungyong, So san, and Uisong. The hybridization pattern were very similar among these four local clones.clones.

Interorder somatic hybrids were obtained by protoplast fusion between Pleurotus ostreatus in the order Agaricales and Elfvingia applanata in the order Aphyllophorales. The fusants were classified into stable heterokaryons and spontaneously segregated heterokaryons. Hyphae of all fusion products except two strains did not form clamp connections. Out of them, two clamped and three clampless fusants produced mature fruiting bodies by light-dark cycle on sawdust rice bran medium. All of these basidiocarps had clamp connections. Three fusants were analysed with the distribution of progenies and segregation of genetic characters by random spore analyses. The genetic markers were shown to segregate and recombine in the first generation of monospores isolated from basidiocarps. Phenotypes of a large number of auxotrophic progenies were not detected in the two clamped fusants. The aberration ratio of segregants indicated the gene interaction resulting from different genome structure between distantly related species. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was adopted for the detection of somatic hybrids nuclear DNA. Four fusants showed a positive results in three kinds of primers. The prominent reaction products are represented by new bands in primer # 87 and # 125. Out of four fusants, two somatic hybrids had non-parental mtDNA patterns when digested with EcoR1 and HindIII. Comparison of somatic hybrids, tissue culture isolates(TC) and multispore germination isolates(MS) were made using esterase isozyme analysis. It is apparent that somatic hybrids had a minor banding patterns which are quite different from those of parents.

Since the end of the Pliocene, ancestral strains of Astyanax fasciatus have been accidently washed into different caves at the time of flooding and have lost their eyes and body pigments. Availability of this independently derived cave fish and their ancestral form within a single species provided a unique opportunity for studying the process of molecular evolution of the visual pigment gene. The nucleotide sequence comparisons of an ancestral river fish and two cave fish showed that nucleotide polymorphism of a green-like visual pigment gene between the eyed and blind form of A. fasciatus was much higher than that between the same blind form. Considering the number of nucleotide substitutions per nucleotide site and the direction of the nucleotide substitutions, more nucleotide substituions between the different forms of fish rater than the same one were probably due to more frequent mutations in the eyed river form. Nucleotide substitutions per site at the intron have been ocurred more than three times faster than those at the exon. This result indicates that the functional constraint has affected the green-like visual pigment gene of the blind cave fish although its eye sight is no longer required.

The incorporation of RAPD markers into the previous classical and RFLP genetic linkage maps will facilitate the generation of a detailed genetic map by compensating for the lack of one type of marker in the region of interest. The objective of this paper was to present features we observed when we associated RAPD map from an intraspecific cross of a Glycine max$\times$G. max, 'Essex'$\times$PI 437654 with the public RFLP map developed from an interspecific cross of G. max$\times$G. soja. Among 27 linkage groups of RAPD map, eight linkage groups contained probe/enzyme combination RFLP markers, which allowed us the incorporation of RAPD markers into the public RFLP map. Map position rearrangement was observed. In incorporating L.G.C-3 into the public RFLP linkage group a1 and a2, both pSAC3 and pA136 region, and pA170/EcoRV and pB170/HindIII region were in opposite order, respectively. And, pk400 was localized 1.8 cM from pA96-1 and 8.4 cM from pB172 in the public RFLP map, but was localized 9.9 cM from i locus and 18.9 cM from pA85 in our study. A noticeable expansion of the map distances in the intraspecific cross of Essex and PI 437654 was also observed. Map distance between probes pA890 and pK493 in L.G.C-1 was 48.6 cM, but it was only 13.3 cM in the public RFLP map. The distances from the probe pB32-2 to pA670 and from pA670 to pA668 in L.G. C-2 were 50.9 cM and 31.7 cM, but they were 35.9 cM and 13.5 cM in the public RFLP map. The detection of duplicate loci from the same probe that were mapped on the same or/and different linkage group was another feature we observed.

In this study, we evaluated the use of RAPD method to discriminate among strains of Fusarium species including F. oxysporum and f. sp. of F. oxysporum. As a result of the amplication, fifteen primers showed total 180 bands ranging from 0.2 to 3 Kb. Among those 180 bands, 126 polymorphic bands were used for bionominal matrix code (0, 1), and UPGMA dendrogram analysis. Fusarium oxysporum isolate 355 showed high similarity with F. oxysporum isolate 358 at 0.9603. Fusarium roseum isolate 87 and F. oxysporum isolate 358, F. o. f. sp. lycopersici isolate 69 and F. o. f. sp. melongena 68 showed low similarity of 0.3809. Fusarium oxysporum isolate 361 and F. o. f. sp. raphani isolate 218 showed similarity of 0.8730, F. oxysoprum isolate 354 and unidentified Fusarium sp. isolate 228 showed similarity matrix of 0.7936, and F. roseum isolate 87 and F. o. f. sp. raphani isolate 57 showed similarity matrix of 0.5873.
