In order to provide good germplasm for developing good corn hybrids, a total of 948 Korean indigenous corn lines were collected from various parts of country and major morphological characterstics of ears were investigated. The results obtained were as follows; 1) Ear Type; From the east-north mountaionus region where more than 80% of total corn production is practiced, cylinder (type I) or similar types to cylinder corn were collected, and from the southern plain region, where rather small scales of corn is grown, cone type (type IV) or similar types to cone were prevalent. 2) Kernel color; In the ear colors of all the indigenous corn lines collected from ten regions, ears with mono color were 54.4%, ears with two color mixed were 39.0% and ears with three or more color mixed were 6.6%. In northern mountainous region, region A and region I, ear color was mostly white or white plus other colors, while in other regions ear color was yellow or yellow plus other colors. 3) Denting; Dent type was only 4.3% of Korean indigenous corn lines collected, and others were flint type. Dent type was collected from northern regions, where foreign corn varieties were introduced and grown. 4) Ear row number; Ear row numbers of indigenous corn lines collected were 12 to 16. There was no significant differences among the ear row numbers in a ear ciassified by regions. However, it was observed that ear row number was closely related to kernel size. For instance, the ears with 24 ear-rows were the smallest in kernel size. 5) Quality of starch; 70.9% of the indigenous corn lines collected were kernels with hard starch. Corn with soft starch was 26.0% and medium type was 3.1%. In region A and region I, where lot of corn is grown, corn with hard starch was more frequently collected. 6) Pop corn and waxy corn; In all the indigenous corn lines collected, popcorn was distributed uniformly through the regions except region I, and waxy corn was found more in the northern mountainous region. 7) Ear length; The mean ear length of indigenous corn lines collected was 13cm. In region A and region I ear length was larger than that in other regions. 8) Ear diameter; The mean ear diameter of indigenous corn lines collected was 3.3cm. In region A and region I ear diameter was larger than that in other regions. 9) Kernel length, kernel width and kernel thickness; The mean kernel length, kernel width and kernel thickness of indigenous corn lines collected were 0.82cm, 0.42cm, and 0.78cm, respectively. The kernel size in the region A and region I was larger than that in other regions. 10) Ear weight; The mean ear weight of indigenous corn lines collected was 58.04gr. Ear weight was remarkably heavier in region A and region I. The heaviest ear weighed 330gr, and the lightest ear weighed 5 gr. 11) Kernel weight of a ear and 100 kernel weight; Kernel weight of a ear and 100 kernel of indigenous corn lines collected were 47.07gr and 15.07gr, respectively. Kernel weights and 100 kernel weights were much heavier in region A and region I than other regions.

Yeasts isolated from wild flowers of Gyejoksan in Daejeon city, Oseosan in Chungchungnamdo, and Baekamsan in Jeollabukdo, Korea were identified by comparison of nucleotide sequences for PCR-amplified D1/D2 region of 26S rDNA or internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 1 and 2 including 5.8S rDNA using BLAST. Twelve yeast strains of ten species and seventeen yeast strains of ten species were isolated from wild flowers of Gyejoksan and Oseosan, respectively. And thirty seven yeast strains of twenty four species were isolated from wild flowers of Baekamsan. Total thirty four yeast species were isolated from three different sample collection areas, but only nine species were overlapped from the at least two different sampling areas: Cryptococcus sp., Cryptococcus aureus, Cryptococcus flavescens, Cryptococcus flavus, Metschnikowia sp., Pseudozyma aphidis, Rhodotorula glutinis, Sporobolomyces carnicolor, and Sporobolomyces ruberrimus. Among them only Cryptococcus aureus was occurred from all three different collection sites. Other twenty five species were restricted to specific collection site suggesting that each area has distinctive yeast flora.

This study was conducted to obtain basic information for the improvement of garlic cultivars. Local varieties of garlic were collected from 4 major production area in Korea and ecological characteristics were compared. The number of cloves per bulb showed a great variation in the range from 4 to 15. However, more than 70% of examined garlics had 6~8 cloves per bulb. Clove weight also differred between local varieties, thus, the range of clove weight was distributed from 1.0g to 7.6g and this tendency was also similar within a same local variety. Although clove weight was relatively higher in bulbs containing 6~8 cloves, bulb weight was higher in bulbs containing more cloves.

This study was conducted to clarify of relationship with major physiological characters and RAPD patterns of garlic(Allium sativum L.) germplasm collected from the worldwide using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) analysis. Eighty-four garlic accessions were classified into ten varietal groups by physiological characters with the single linkage clustering based on Q correlations. The majority was early maturing varieties collected from East-Asia, late maturing varieties were Europe. RAPD marker, $WE61_{1,630}$ was amplified with late maturing varieties and high correlation have shown, though three accessions weren't amplified. Clove undifferentiation and secondary growth had mainly occur accessions collected from Europe, but hadn't shown perfect linkage to RAPD. RAPD marker, $WF70_{1,400}$ appeared in bolting garlic and $WF64_{1,400}$ appeared only in fertile garlic. Unknown garlic amplified in $WF64_{1,400}$ might be fertile garlic, because of their collection site were from Central-Asia.

A lot of clones of the genus Dioscorea species have been introduced from some tropical and subtropical regions since 1997. The aim of this study was to determine characteristics of the production process in yams(Dioscorea spp). By utilizing 51clones of water yams(Dioscorea spp), some morphological characteristics were investigated at the field. Intraspecific genetic relationship of 51 variation types of the Yam classified by their external morphological characteristics such as leaf and tuber shape were assessed by DNA using random and specific primers. D. Alata and D. opposita were showed different relationship between yield and the growth of their aboveground parts. This suggests that even in the same species there were differences in yield volume and translocation of assimilation products, depending on the types. D. alata were distinguished from others Dioscorea species at 62% level in AFLP analysis. Also in principal component analysis, D. alata were showed the class from II to V.

Increasing concern about biodiversity has lead to a rise in demand on the spatial assessment of biological resources such as biodiversity assessment, protected area selection, habitat management and restoration in Korea. The purpose of this study is to create species richness map through data collection and modeling techniques for wildlife habitat assessment. The GAM (Generalized Additive Model) is easy to interpret and shows better relationship between environmental variables and a response variable than an existing overlap analysis and GLM (Generalized Linear Model). The study area delineated by a large watershed contains Jirisan national park, Mt. Baekun and Sumjin river with three kinds of protected areas (a national park, a landscape ecology protected area and an otter protected area). We collected the presence-absence data for wildlife (mammals and birds) using a stratified random sampling based on a land cover in the study area and implemented natural and socio-environmental data affecting wildlife habitats. After doing a habitat use analysis and specifying significant factors for each species, we built habitat suitability models using a presence-absence model and created habitat suitability maps for each species. Biodiversity maps were generated by taxa and all species using habitat suitability maps. Significant factors affecting each species habitat were different according to their habitat selection. Although some species like a water deer or a great tit were distributed at the low elevation, most potential habitats for mammals and birds were found at the edge of a national park boundary or near a forest around the medium elevation of a mountain range. This study will be used for a basis on biodiversity assessment and proected area selection carried out by Ministry of Environment.

The genetic relationships of Korean native Orostachys species collected from various regions were analysed using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method. Eighteen Orostachys species analysed with UPGMA were clustered into three groups A, B, and C. However, four species were not clustered into any group. O. iwarenge species in group A (No. 18-No. 22) showed low similarity with 66.3-73.9% according to the cluster analysis. O. malacophyllus species in group B (No. 12-No. 17) showed low similarity with 66.7-83.7% according to the cluster analysis. The similarity coefficient value of O. japonicus (No. 3-No. 8) except Anmyeondo collected variety (No. 9) showed higher level with 84.2-92.3% than O. iwarenge or O. malacophyllus. Therefore, O. japonicus is thought to be genetically stable, and have less regional variation.
