Tne present studies were camied out to ~nvestigate the allele frequency variations of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in natural populat~ons of Drosophiio melonogoster and the correlations of iwo ADH alleles between fitness and ethanol. ADH alleles were found to be polymorphic in natural populations of D. rnelanogaster. The frequencies of FF, FS and SS genotypes were 47.66, 42 18, and 10.16%. respectively, therefore the F gene frequency (68.75) was shown to be hlgher than the S gene (31.25 %). The FF genotype was slightly superior to the SS genotype in both fecundiiy and eclaslon. The frequency of AdhF allele in the small alt>fic~apl opulaliow originated from natural populations was increased for 20 generations on normal media at 25$^{\circ}$C In resistance to ethanol, the FF genotype was supenor to the SS genotype, too. It meant that ethanol as environmental factor might be the selective factor on ADH locus in natural populat~ons of D meionogoster.

Genomic DNA isolated from three geographical gizzard-shad (Konosirus punctatus) populations in Seocheon (SC), Busan (BS) and Gochang (GC) collected in the West Sea and the southern sea, respectively, off the Korean Peninsula, were PCR-amplified repeatedly. Eight selected decamer and 20-mer primers generated a total of 713 loci in the SC population, 791 in the BS population, and 732 in the GC population, with a DNA fragment size ranging from 100 bp to 2,800 bp. We identified 50 unique loci for the SC population, 70 unique loci for the BS population and 130 for the GC population: 120 shared loci for the three populations. There were 108 specific loci (15.1%) for the SC population, 74 (9.4%) for the BS population, and 67 (9.2%) for the GC population. Eight primers also generated 48 polymorphic loci (6.7%) for the SC population, 26 (3.3%) for the BS population, and 16 (2.2%) for the GC population. The similarity matrix ranged from 0.756 to 0.936 for the SC population, from 0.800 to 0.938 for the BS population, and from 0.731 to 0.959 for the GC population. The dendrogram obtained by the eight primers indicates three genetic clusters: cluster 1 (SEOCHEON 01~SEOCHEON 10), cluster 2 (BUSAN 11~BUSAN 20 and GOCHANG 23~GOCHANG 24), and cluster 3 (GOCHANG 21, 22, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30). As stated above, some individuals of the GC population appear to belong in BS population. When seeing this result, it was thought with the fact that some individuals of 2 populations seem to come and go partially. Thus, RAPD-PCR analysis revealed a significant genetic distance between the three geographical gizzard-shad populations. Using various decamer and 20-mer primers, RAPD-PCR may be applied to identify specific/polymorphic markers that are particular to a species and geographic population, and to define genetic diversity, polymorphisms, and similarities among geographical gizzard-shad populations.

Chemosterilant effect of chlorpyrifos-methyl (CPM) on the beet armyworm, Spodoptera e.rigua (Hubner) was investigated, using topical application. Egg fecundity and fertility were analyzed in the adults reared from the fifth instar larvae which were treated with sublethal doses of CPM. Though CPM reduced fecundity a little, it gave significant negative effect on egg fertility in a dose-dependent manner. Genetic analysis was performed by reciprocal crosses between treated (100 Wgllarva) and untreated individuals and showed a dominant lethal effect of CPM on egg fecundity and fertility. This results indicate that chlorpyrifos-methyl may act as a chemosterilant as well as a well-known neurotoxicant, and suggest that it can be used in genetic control program.

The pedigree information and race records of 1,000 m finishing time of Jeju race horses at KRA were used to study the effect of amount of pedigree information and parental misidentification on the estimates of genetic parameters. The modified data sets were made at the range of 2.5 to 25% parental misidentifications or loss of parental information of individuals with an increment of 2.5 percent. For each incremental level, 20 randomly replicated data sets were obtained and analyzed by single-trait analysis with a DF-REML(AI) algorithm. As the rate of misidentification increased or the amount of pedigree information decreased, the estimates of fraction of additive genetics variance component gradually decreased almost linearly (p<0.05), while the estimated fractions of error variance and permanent environmental variance components gradually increased for the finishing time. Regression coefficients of the percentage amount of both parents' information loss and incorrect pedigree information on additive genetic variances were -0.079 and -0.114, respectively (p<0.01). The estimate of heritability decreased by 0.92% for one percent loss of both parents' information and 1.39% for one percent increase of both parental misidentifications of progeny (p<0.01). For the consideration of probable incorrect and missing parent information of progeny in this early population of Jeju horses, the estimates of additive genetic parameters would be biased downward about ten percent. This results indicate that the amount of pedigree information loss and misidentification of progeny would severely affect estimates of genetic parameters and would reduce genetic gains for selection in Jeju horse population.

A statistical analysis of 9,771 non-glutinous rice in breeding line germplasm collected from Korea (2,836), China (2,136), Japan (1,219), and the Philippines (1,213) was conducted using normal distribution, variability index value (VIV), analysis of variation (ANOVA) and Ducan's multiple range test (DMRT) based on the data obtained from NIRS analysis. According to the normal distribution, the average protein content was 7.9%, and non-glutinous rice ranging over 10% amylose had 23.6% average content. Most resources were between 5.3 and 10.5% in protein content, and 15.7 and 31.5% in amylose content. The VIV was 0.54 for protein, and 0.83 for amylose. The average amylose content was 25.18%, 24.54%, 22.08%, and 21.47% in Filipino, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese resources, respectively, wheereas the average protein content was found to be 8.19%, 7.79%, 7.58%, and 7.42% in Filipino, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese resources, respectively. The ANOVA of amylose and protein content showed significant differences at the level of 0.01. The F-test value was 412.2 for amylose content, and 108.4 for protein when compared with the critical value of 3.78. The DMRT of amylose and protein content showed significant differences (p<0.01) among resources from different countries. The Filipino resources had the highest level of amylose and protein content, whereas; the lowest level of amylose and protein content were found in Japanese when compared with resources of other origins. These results are recommended as helpful materials in the field of breeding.

한국산 담수어류의 잉어목, 황어아과(Leuciscinae) 어류 2속 5종의 계통적 유연관계를 구명하기 위하여 mtDNA분석을 실시하였다 6 base를 인지하는 10개의 제한효소를 처리하여 얻어진 강tDNA의 크기는 16.5-17.5 Kb였으며 Bcl I, Bgl I, Bgl II, Hin dIII, Pvu II, Xba I 등은 종간 차이가 뚜렷하였다. 각종의 집단간 mtDNA분화정도는 매우 낮았으나(p=1% 미만) M. oxyephalus의 무주집단과 제주집단은 예리적으로 큰 차이를 보였다(p=5.3%) Moroco속의 종간 분화정도를 비교한 결과 M. oxycephafus와 M. lagowsk서 사이가 평균 f=7.2%로 근면관계가 제일 가까웠고 M. keumkang과 M. semotilus는 타종들과 근연관계가 제일 멀었다. Moroco속과 Phoxinus속간의 평균 유전적 분화정도는 f=13.7%로 현저한 차이를 보였다. Brown 등(1979)의 공식을 이용하여 이들 황어아과 2속 5종의 분화시기를 추정한 결과 이들은 후기 선신세(Pliocene)와 흥적세(Pleistocene) 사이에 분화된 것으로 추정되었으며 이 결과는 동위효소 연구에서 얻어진 결파(Yang and Min, 1989)와 잘 일치한다.

Starch gel electrophoretic studies using 24 populations of five Korean Orostachys species were conducted to investigate allozyme variation and to test hypotheses of systematic relationships among species. The resulting phenogram showed that the populations of five Korean Orostachys species were divided into two major groups. And they were concordant with molecular and morphological data in suggesting that Orostachys was divided into two groups corresponding to the subsect. Appendiculatae and subsect. Orostachys. The low genetic identities among Korean Orostachys species indicated that the species of Orostachys have diverged gradually through the model of geographical species. Comparing the previous genetic data from the species with similar life history and mode of reproduction, most of Korean Orostachys species revealed a significant low genetic variation, while the widespread O. japonicus showed a relatively high genetic variation among the Korean species. This kind of genetic variation pattern might be the results of the isolated habitats, limited numbers of individuals within the populations, destruction of habitats, inbreeding and asexual reproduction in Korean Orostachys populations. The Jungdongjin population (POP 21) of O. malocophyllus was genetically unrelated with remaining populations of the same species, and this interpretation was consistent to the results from the previous palynological and morphological studies. Our allozyme data supported the taxonomic treatment of recently proposed taxa, O. iwarenge (Makino) Hara for. magnus and O. margaritifolius.

A statistical analysis of 4,380 non-glutinous landrace rice germplasm collected from four East Asian countries namely South Korea (1,032), North Korea (994), Japan (800), and China (528) was conducted using normal distribution, variability index value (VIV), analysis of variation (ANOVA), and Duncan's multiple range test (DMRT) based on a data obtained from Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) analysis. In normal distribution, the average protein content was 8.2%, and the non-glutinous rice amylose, ranging over 10%, was found to be 22.0%. Protein content in most gremplasm was between 5.4 and 10.9%, and amylose content was between 15.0 and 28.9%. The VIV was 0.50 for protein, and 0.81 for non-glutinous rice amylose content. The average amylose content was 23.34% in Chinese, 21.55% in South Korean, 21.45% in Japanese, and 20.48% in North Korean resources, while the average protein content was found to be 9.02% in Chinese, 8.06% in Japanese, 8.04% in North Korean, and 7.99% in South Korean resources. ANOVA of amylose and protein content showed significant differences at p=0.01. The F-test value for amylose content was 94.92, and for protein content was 81.82 compared to the critical value of 3.79. DMRT of amylose and protein content revealed significant differences (p<0.01). Among the various germplasm obtained from different countries, that from North Korean had the lowest level of amylose content, whereas that from South Korea had the lowest level of protein content than all other resources. Chinese resources had the highest level of amylose and protein content. It is recommended to use these results in breeding fields.

RAPD analyses were performed to investigate genetic relationships and useful molecular maker for 3 species and their 17 regional populations of the Pueraria lobata and related taxa. The length of amplified DNA fragments ranged from 200 to, 2,800 bp. Two hundred and eight scorable polymorphic makers and three scorable monomorphic makers were found from the PCR reactions with 15 random oligo primers, and those were analyzed by Nei's genetic distance coefficient. Based on the UPGMA phenogram from RAPD analyses, two major groups (9 populations from Korea; 3 populations from foreign countries) were recognized. And it showed distinct genetic differences from related taxa. The RAPD results was very useful to define the samples by geographical distribution and to discuss the relationships among the populations and their related taxa of the Pueraria lobata.

This paper proposes a matching algorithm to find corresponding polygon feature sets between heterogeneous digital maps. The algorithm finds corresponding sets in terms of optimizing their shape similarities based on the assumption that the feature sets describing the same entities in the real world are represented in similar shapes. Then, by using a binary code, it is represented that a polygon feature is chosen for constituting a corresponding set or not. These codes are combined into a binary string as a candidate solution of the matching problem. Starting from initial candidate solutions, a genetic algorithm iteratively optimizes the candidate solutions until it meets a termination condition. Finally, it presents the solution with the highest similarity. The proposed method is applied for the topographical and cadastral maps of an urban region in Suwon, Korea to find corresponding polygon feature sets for block areas, and the results show its feasibility. The results were assessed with manual detection results, and showed overall accuracy of 0.946.
