RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) analysis was conducted to Schisandra nigra plants in order to select the specific markers for monoecious and dioecious individuals. RAPD results using eighty random 10-mer primers revealed that S. nigra had a different banding pattern from S. chinensis and Kadsura japonica. When DNA isolated from leaves of monoecious and dioecious plants were used as PCR template, only five primers, OPA-17, OPA-19, OPB-03, OPB-09 and OFB-16, showed polymorphic band patterns. No variation in banding profiles within male or female individuals was observed when these five primers were used whereas three monoecious plants (No 1, No 2 and No 3) showed different banding patterns one another, A 750 bp segment was amplified by primer OPB-3 from male individuals. On the other hand, two segments, 950 bp and 1690 bp, with OPA-19 and 700 bp of segment with OPB-3 were amplified in female individuals. These result indicate that the specific buds of male and female S. nigra could be used as genetic markers for the early discrimination of male and female individuals.

We conducted principal component analyses using the thirty two quantitative characteristics of Najas from South Korea to examine the morphological variation and diagnostic characteristics. As a result of our investigation and the morphometric analyses, each taxon could be identified using the leaf width, shape of the leaf sheath, number of teeth on the leaf margin, number of anther cells, number of areoles in each longitudinal row of seeds, and the ratio of the areole width to the length. Dioecious Najas marina was clearly distinguished from the other monoecious taxa (N. graminea, N. gracillima, N. minor, N. oguraensis, and N. orientalis) by the larger size of the stem, the leaf, the flower and the fruit. The monoecious taxa could be identified using vegetative characteristics except for N. minor and N. oguraensis, which were distinct from each other according to the locule number in the staminate flower.

Two species of Phytophthora were isolated from infected fruits of jujube. Among 18 isolates collected, 6 were identified as P. nicotianae and 12 as P. patmivora on the basis of their mycological characteristics. The former produced no caduceus, ovoid to spherical sporangia in contrast to caduceus, ellipsoid, and broadly avoid to spherical ones of the latter. These two species were shown to be heterothallic and markedly papilate, chlamydospores abundant, and Al mating type. They skewed strong pathogenicity to fruits of jujube and pear while no symptom was produced on apple fruit by artificial inoculation. This is the first report of juiube fruit rot caused by P. ninotianae and P. palmivora in Korea.

The genetic variation of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) patterns of genomic DNAs was investigated in dioecious plant Rumex acetosa L., which carries different sex chromosome complements in female (2n=12A+XX) and male (2n=12A+XY$_1$Y$_2$). One hundred and twenty random primers consisted of 10-mer were used for PCR amplification. Polymorphic bands were found in 24 primers. Specific bands for female and male were 16 and 18, respectively. Especially, a band of 1,440 bp from the OPC-10 primer was male specific. These sex specific RAPD markers are used to understanding the sex determination mechanism in plants.

꼬막, Tegillarca granosa은 우리나라 남해 및 서해안 일대에서 서식하는 중요한 수산자원 중의 하나이지만, 이에 대한 생물학적 기초연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 1995년 2월부터 1996년 1월까지 전남 벌교연안에서 채집한 꼬막의 생식소발달, 생식세포형성과정 및 생식주기를 조사하였다. 1. 꼬막은 자웅이체이면서 난생이고, 생식소는 내장낭의 간중장선을 싸고 있는 결합조직으로부터 족부의 근육층까지 분포한다.2. 미분화간층직과 호산성 과립세포들이 초기 활성기의 소낭에 풍부하게 나타나기 시작하여 완숙기에는 거의 없어지는 것으로 보아, 이들은 생식소 및 생식세포형성과 발달에 영향을 공급하는 영향세포로 생각된다.3. 생식소발달, 생식세포형성과정, 조직분화과정 및 세포학적 특성에 따라, 이들의 생식주기를 초기 활성기, 완숙기, 부분 방출기, 방출 및 비활성기 등으로 구분할 수 있다. 4. 방란 및 방정은 수온 2$0^{\circ}C$정도되는 6월하순부터 시작되고, 주산란시기는 수온이 23-24$^{\circ}C$정도 되는 7-8월이며, 완숙란의 크기는 50-60$\mu\textrm{m}$이다.5. 비활성기는 9월에서 이듬해 4월까지 지속되는 비교적 긴 기간이며, 초기 활성기도 비교적 길어 1월에서 5월까지 지속되는 반면, 후기활성, 완숙 및 방출기는 비교적 짧아, 5월에서 8월까지 모두 완료된다.6. 비만도의 월별 변화는 생식소의 발달, 생식주기 및 수온과 밀접한 관계가 있다.7. 사용된 재료 433개체 중 1개체가 자웅동체현상을 나타내었다.

Three Korean Broussonetia species (Moraceae) were reexamined based on morphological characters. The plants which has been used for making traditional paper Hanji in Korea are considered hybrid species between B. kazinoki and B. papyrifera, its natural habitat was firstly discovered in Is. Gageo (Jeonnam Province). Thus it is newly described as B. ${\times}$ hanjiana M. Kim. Its Korean name is changed into Daknamu instead of Kkujidaknamu. Therefore, Korean name for B. kazinoki is also changed into Aegidaknamu instead of Daknamu. Dioecious plants of Broussonetia kazinoki which were found in Is. Gageo are named as B. kazinoki for. koreana M. Kim (Gageo-Aegidaknamu).

This study was conducted to find out the propagation method of a rare variety Daphne kiusiana Miq. in Korea through softwood cuttings. Daphne kiusiana Miq are the evergreen broad leaf tree which have lived in the southern part of Korea. The flowering time of Daphne kiusiana Miq is early spring and the flower has an attractive fragrance. Generally, plants are dioecious and only the male plants are found in Korea. Propagation by seed is very difficult in this tree. Softwood cuttings were taken to establish an efficient propagation method in Daphne kiusiana Miq Cuttings were grown in perlite:vermiculite (1 : 1), perlite, vermiculite, sand rooting media under shaded greenhouses during summer in 2007. The rooting rates of cuttings were 86.7%, 95%, 75% and 95% in perlite:vermiculite (1 : 1), perlite, vermiculite and sand media, respectively. Softwood cuttings taken on July and rooting at $27^{\circ}C$ were significantly improved the growth and rooting rates. Softwood cutting can be an effective means of propagation in Daphne kiusiana Miq.

Morphological characters of C. kobomugi, C. gibba, C. echinata. C. remotiuscula. C. maakii. C. curta, and C. loliacea of genus Carex were rexamined. The epidermal patterns of perigynium, achene and leaf were investigated using by a scanning electron microscope(SEM) and a light microscope(LM). Morphological characters. such as length and width of stem and leaf, sheath, bract, spike, scale, perigynium, beak of perigynium, length of spike peduncle, size, and frequency of stomatal complex of leaf, number of bract, shape of stem transection, scale and apex of scale, beak and base of perigynium, achene, epidermal cell and cell wall of perigynium, achene, leaf epidermal patterns (fundamental epidermal cell and cell wall, silica body, subsidiary cell), hair, papillae, prickle present/absent of perigynium and leaf were useful for the identification of observed seven taxa. Examined six taxa of section Macrocephalae, Gibbae, Stellulatae, Elongatae, Ovales, and Heleonates were distint from each other with respect of length and width stem, leaf, bract, perigynium, perigynium beak, lenght of spike peduncle, perigynium, and leaf. A key based on data was presented here.

새꼬막은 자웅이체로서 난생이었다. 생식소는 내장낭의 간중장선에서부터 족부까지 외측의 대부분을 싸고 있으며, 난소는 난자형성소낭, 정소는 정자형성소낭으로 구성되어 있었다. 완숙란의 세포질에는 많은 난황과립을 축적하고 있으며, 난막의 외측은 얇은 젤라틴상의 피막으로 싸여 있었다. 정자형성소낭벽에는 정원, 정모, 정세포 및 변태한 정자 순으로, 소낭의 내강을 향하여 충상배열을 하며 성숙 발달되었다. 생식주기는 초기 활성기(11-5월), 후기 활성기(5-7월), 완숙기(6-9월), 부분 방출기(7-9월), 방출 및 비활성기(9-4월)로 구분할 수 있었다. 방란, 방정은 수온이 21$^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 상승하는 7월초순부터 9월까지 지속되며, 산란 최성기는 8월이었다. 비만도지수의 월별 변화는 생식주기와 아주 밀접ㅎ나 관계가 있었다. 난자형성소낭과 정자형성소낭에는 eosin에 강하게 염색되는 과립세포와 간충직들이 나타나는데, 이들은 생식소 및 생식세포형성과 발달에 영양을 공급하는 영양세포로 생각되었다.

A stem and root rot disease of English ivy (Hedera helix) was found in the flower market, Jeonju, Chonbuk province, Korea in May 2007. A Phytophthora species was isolated from the diseased part of the plant. Based on the mycological properties and pathogenesis the isolate was identified as Phytophthora cinnamomi. The fungus produce ovoid sporangium which was ovoid to spherical and obpyriform which is noncaducous, non-papillate and averaged $33.8{\times}16{\mu}m$ in dimension. Chlamydospores were abundantly produced on agar media and sized about $19.7{\mu}m$ in diameter. The fungus was heterothallic and A1 mating type. Oospores were measured $26.2{\mu}m$ in size. Optimum temperature for growth of the fungus was 25 to $30^{\circ}C$. Up to our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating the stem rot on English ivy caused by P. cinnamomi in Korea.
