This study was intended to clarify interrelations among seven characters of bamboo and their influences upon its culm-volume. The analysis of covariance was used to obtain phenotypic correlations, genotypic correlations and environmental correlations among some characters of Phyllostachys bambusoides Sieb. et Zucc., and thereby path-coefficients were calculated based on Dewey's method. The characters considered here included the breast height diameter, culm-height, clear-length, subterranean stem, number of bamboo joints, butt-end diameter and culm-volume of bamboo. Average values, standard errors, variances and standard deviations for the characters mentioned above are shown in Table 1, and phenotypic correlations, genotypic correlations and environmental correlations among seven characters are shown in Table 2, according to the results, there are highly significant relationships among lines but not among some replications. According to Table 4, heritability values in the breast height and butt-end diameters are higher than those in other characters mentioned above. On the other hand, environmental correlations among general characters appear to have lower values than phenotypic and genotypic correlations do. It also appears that the butt-end diameter and breast height diameter are highly correlated with the culm-volume of bamboo. The path-coefficients of individual characters to the culm-volume of bamboo are computed from the correlations (Table 4) and presented in Figure 1 and Table 5, where it could shown the direct and indirect effects on the bamboo culm-volume of each character.

Restoration ecology is the practical study of renewing and restoring a spoilt, degraded, or devastated ecosystems in the environment. Because the Korean industry has been drastically developed for the past few decades, the Korean ecosystem requires restoration using regional seed. In this study, we identified the variation of phylogenic relationship of Miscanthus sinensis or Phragmites australis by locations in Korea. Chloroplast DNA atpF-H and psbA-trnH interspace region were used as a molecular marker to resolve the phylogenic relationship in 10 different locations. We performed the molecular phylogenetic analysis with 10 chloroplast DNAs from each location using Kimura 2-parameter. The analysis of Miscanthus showed that all atpF-H genes were exact matches except for Ose san. In contrast to Mischanthus, the atpF-H genes from Phragmites were observed to have more variation. A total of 7 locations revealed the variation in chloroplast gene. According to the phylogenic tree in Phragmites, 2 of 10 samples in 6 locations and 3 of 10 in 1 location showed variation with 0.160-0.181 genetic distance. According to the genetic distance of the Miscanthus sinensis, there were no mutations in all regions except the Hongsung. These results support regional differences and show the necessity for seed collection by region. In the case of Phragmites australis, genetic variation occurred in all regions.

Barbel steed (Hemibarbus labeo) is a small freshwater fish species as semi-bottom dwellers distributed in eastern Asia. We carried out characterization of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene from the mitochondrial DNA of H. labeo in the Sumjin River to identify the phylogenetic location of H. labeo in the genus Hemibarbus and Cyprinidae. Multiple alignment of the 577 bp COI sequence revealed high sequence homology (99~100%) between Seomjin River H. labeo. The nucleotide sequence similarity between H. labeo (HD1) and H. mylodon was 88.91% and that of H. longirostis was 88.81% among the three species found in Korea. In addition, the nucleotide sequence similarities of H. maculatus, H. meditus, H. umbrifer and H. barbus showed 98.97%, 97.20%, 96.87% and 98.85%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis on seven species of the genus Hemibarbus showed that the H. labeo collected in this study formed two clades. One of which consisted of Hadong, Imsil, Kangjin. The other one formed a step with HD2, HD8 and HD9 of Hadong and the H. labeo reported in Busan, Asan and Seoul, Korea. Phylogenetic position of the H. labeo among Cyprinidae showed 0.143 for the evolutionary distance from Zacco platypus and 0.006 for the H. maculatus. In addition, the genetic position of the H. labeo among 28 species of Cyprinidae was found to be located in Group I, including Gobioninae fishes. The results of this study will provide key genetic information for the taxonomic comparison in Cyprinidae and study of model fish for pollution monitoring in freshwater environments.

This study was conducted to examine the influence of the maternal genetic effect of swine on their economic traits through the estimation of their genetic parameters, breeding value and genetic trends using an animal model. The data on Duroc pigs, Korean Native Pigs and Synthetic pigs (Duroc ${\times}$ Korean Native Pig) from 2000 to 2015 were obtained from the National Institute of Animal Science in Korea and used to estimate the genetic parameters for the average daily gain (ADG) and backfat thickness (BFT). Model 1 included the additive genetic effect of the animals, Model 2 consisted of Model 1 + the maternal genetic effect and Model 3 consisted of Model 2 + the maternal permanent environment effect. The heritability calculated by estimating the additive genetic effect was higher than that calculated by estimating the maternal genetic effect using the maternal animal model. The estimated genetic correlations between the additive and maternal genetic effects for the ADG and BF were strongly negative. Thus, the estimation of the breeding value can be used to select the most appropriate individuals and make an optimal breeding scheme.

In this paper, an optimization model for the clustered node allocation systems in the distributed computing environment is presented. In the presented model with a distributed file system framework, the dynamics of system behavior over times is carefully thought over the nodes and hence the functionality of the cluster monitor node to check the feasibility of the current set of clustered node allocation is given. The cluster monitor node of the node allocation system capable of distributing the parallel modules to clustered nodes provides a good allocation solution using Genetic Algorithms (GA). As a part of the experimental studies, the solution quality and computation time effects of varying GA experimental parameters, such as the encoding scheme, the genetic operators (crossover, mutations), the population size, and the number of node modules, and the comparative findings are presented.

Human diseases and livestock economic traits are not typically the result of variation of a single genetic locus, but are rather the result of interplay between interactions among multiple genes and a variety of environmental exposures. We have used linear regression model for adjusted environmental effects and multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method to identify gene-gene interaction effect of statistical model in general. Of course, we use 5 SNPs (single uncleotide polymorphism) which were studied recently by Oh et al. (2011). We apply the MDR (multifactor demensionality reduction) method on the identify major interaction effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms responsible for economic traits in a Korean cattle population.

The invasive red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, is native to south-central United States and northeastern Mexico. Recently, it has been being spreading in the wild in South Korea. However, its primary sources, introduction routes, establishment, and expansion in South Korea remain unclear. Here, we analyzed genetic diversity and population genetic structures of its domestic natural populations during early invasion, commercial stock from local aquaria (a suspected introduction source), and original United States population using mitochondrial COI gene sequences for 267 individuals and eight microsatellite markers for 158 individuals. Natural and commercial populations of P. clarkii showed reduced genetic diversity (e.g., haplotype diversity and allelic richness). The highest genetic diversity was observed in one original source population based on both genetic markers. Despite a large number of individuals in commercial aquaria, we detected remarkably low genetic diversity and only three haplotypes among 226 individuals, suggesting an inbred population likely originating from a small founder group. Additionally, the low genetic diversity in the natural population indicates a small effective population size during early establishment of P. clarkii in South Korea. Interestingly, genetic differentiation between natural populations and the United States population was lower than that between natural populations and aquarium populations. This suggests that various genetic types from the United States likely have entered different domestic aquariums, leading to distinct natural populations through separate pathways. Results of our study will provide an insight on the level of genetic divergence and population differentiation during the initial stage of invasion of non-indigenous species into new environments.

생물공정의 최근동향을 보면 생물공정의 기본 기술향상과 유전공학등 최신 생물공학기술의 산업화에 초점이 맞추어져 있는 듯하다. 미국 등 선진국에서는 생물공정의 기본기술 향상보다는 신생물(New Biology)의 산업화에 연구투자가 집중적으로 이루어져 왔으나 최근에는 이것마져 약간 부진해지는 느낌이 있다. 앞으로의 생물공정기술은 유전공학이 좀 더 양이 많고 시장이 큰 범용생물공학 시장으로 옮겨감에 따라 더욱 더 중요해 질 것이다. 그리고 환경문제와 대체 에너지 등과 관련하여 여러가지 새로운 생물공정기술이 개발되어야 할 것이다.

우선, 방사선의 생물학적 영향에 대하여 이해를 하기 위해서는 방사선 생물학, 방사선 유전학, 방사선 물리학 그리고 방사선 화학 등에 대한 최소한의 지식의 뒷받침이 있어야 하지만 용어의 전문성이 높아서 용어적 해석만을 위해서도 많은 시간이 소요될 것으로 생각이 된다. 특히, 방사선의 생물에 대한 영향을 평가하기 위해서는 세포유전학적 지식을 바탕으로 하는 방사선의 급$\cdot$만성 방사선 효과에 대한 설명이 필요할 수 밖에 없기 때문에 앞에서 열거한 분야들이 상호 보완되어야 한다고 생각이 된다. 본 투고에는 우선적으로 방사선 환경에 대하여 열거하면서 방사선 노출 형태들과 생물학적 영향에 대하여 최소한의 설명을 중심으로 기술하고자 한다.
