This study was carried out to investigate the changes of enzymes and micro inorganic nutrients that is associated with flower senescence during flower development in tulip cultivars, ‘Apeldoorn’ and ‘Golden Apeldoorn’. Ribonuclease, peroxidase and protease activities were gradually increased from the stage of early flowering to later Polyphenol oxidase showed the highest activity at stage 5, which the flower was in full bloom indicating that it acts at an initial stage of flower senescence. The protease activity was different in the petal extracts during flower development between the cultivars ‘Apeldoorn’ (red petal) and ‘Golden Apeldoorn’ (yellow petal). This result suggested that protease might relate to pigment biosynthesis in petal of tulip. In contrast to the decrease of inorganic nutrients K, Mn, Zn and P contents during floral development, Ca, Mg and Fe showed the gradual increasement that is similar with ribonuclease, peroxidase and protease. It suggests that they have some interaction during flower senescence.

Ten species of Lycoris was selected for establishment of phylogenetic relationships using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis, the native distribution and flowering characterestics. On the basis of the dendrogram constructed with the similarity coefficients, 10 Lycoris species were divided into two clusters. L. sprengeri and L. incannta were showed very high similarity in the RAPD analysis, same flowering time and flower color as pink. The leaf of L. squamigera. L. sanguinea, L. koreana, L. sprengeri and L. incanata emergenced in spring. The L. squamigera and L. sanguinea were showed high similarity in same cluster. Also L. koreana, L. sprengeri and L. incanata were showed high similarity in same cluster. The flower of L. radiata, L. radiata var pumila, L. albiflora and L. traubii was spider. These species was showed very low similarity in another Lycoris species.

A new Dianthus cultivar 'URI 2010-6' was selected among F1 progenies from a cross between interspecific hybrid 'Evergreen Emerald' as the seed parent and D. chinensis ' Ruby' as the pollen parent. In 2007, the cross w as made, and the seedlings of $F_1$ progenies were obtained and investigated. After three rounds of characteristic evaluation from 2008 to 2010, a clone was selected and registered as 'URI 2010-6' at the Korea Seed and Variety Service (plant variety protection number: 4431) in 2011. The flower of 'URI 2010-6' is caryophyllaceous, single type, and mainly bright red (Red, N79C) with secondary white (White, N155C) on the edge or as spots on the petal. The flower has diameter of 2.7 cm and length of 0.8 cm. This cultivar blooms continuously about 150 d on average and may be used as evergreen plant during winter months.

Anthocyanins are major plant pigment and produced through phenylpropanoid pathway. In this study, anthocyanin biosynthesis mechanisms of chrysanthemum flowers were studied using 'Argus' and flower color mutant 'ARTI-purple' which were induced by 40 Gy gamma irradiation ($Co^{60}$). And, three chrysanthemums, 'Ford', 'Yeonja' and 'Orando' were additionally used as the check varieties to understand the relationship between flower color and expression patterns of genes. The expression patterns of the anthocyanin biosynthetic genes were matched with the flower color of the check varieties. High anthocyanin concentration of 'Orando' showed the high expression of anthocyanin biosynthetic genes. In the white flower of 'Ford', expressions of CHI, DFR and ANS were not identified. Despite different flower color, 'Argus' and 'ARTI-purple' showed different expression patterns compared with the check varieties. From the dot blot analysis, we screened the seven genes showing the different expressions between 'Argus' and 'ARTI-purple'.

Importance of color in floral design has been emphasized for long time, but it is difficult to find out standardization of color for floral design and for educational system. Wedding bouquet is major and important part of floral design and it shows same problem. The research is concentrated on color image analysis of wedding bouquet designs which have been submitted for 'Interflora World Cup Competition' with the intention to utilize the study result as the basic information of floral design. Colors of wedding bouquets from 20 different countries were analyzed. All of designers chose high brightness and saturation more for designing the bouquets. Warm colors and cold colors have been taken in similar portion. Blue color has been rarely used and it is probably because of the rarity of blue flowers. This study shows each continent has different color preference. European designers used wide variety of colors while Asian designers preferred red color. From this study, we found that color image scales of wedding bouquets represent 8 images out of 12 representative images. Four exceptions are 'clean', 'elegant', 'gentle' and 'modern' images.

A golden double freesia (Freesia hybrida Hort.) "Golden Amor" was developed from a cross 'Golden Crown' and 'White Wing' followed by seedling and line selections at the National Horticultural Research Institute, Rural Development Administration (RDA) in 2005. Growth and flowering characteristic tests were conducted from 2000 to 2005. "Golden Amor" has large double type flower with bright golden color (RHS 12B). It have multiple florets, good flower shape, upright leaves and stalks. The average yield of "Golden Amor" was 6.0 cuttings per plant in greenhouse carried out from 2003 to 2005. It has good production of cormlets, vigorous growth and resistance to Fusarium and virus. "Golden Amor" would be cultured under greenhouse condition in Korea.

A new spray chrysanthemum(Dendranthema grandiflorum) cultivar, "Golden Eye" was developed from a cross between "Rosa" and "Angaesoguk" by selection of seedlings and lines at the Flower Research Institute, Gyeongnam Agricultural Research and Extension Services(ARES) from 2004 to 2008. Its characteristics were investigated three times from 2006 to 2008 under condition of forcing culture in spring and retarding culture in autumn. The natural flowering time of "Golden Eye" was October 23th, and year-round production was possible by day length treatment. This cultivar was yellow in color, single in flower type for the spray type cut flower. Its capitulum was 2.4cm in diameter, and had 23.2 head per stem in autumn. Its ray floret was green central zone. The days to flowering under the short day treatment is about 49 days in spring season, and "Golden Eye" showed the vase life of 25.7 days in autumn. This cultivar was registered for a commercialization in 2008.

Lilium longiflorum 'Charm' as a $F_1$ hybrid cultivar was released by crossing inbred line '$L_2$-14' and '$L_2$-21' which were obtained from 5 self crosses originated from 'Nellie White', 'Ace' and 'Hinomoto'. The growth and flowering characteristics were evaluated in a greenhouse maintained at a minimum of $13^{\circ}C$ at night during winter in 2006 and 2007. The flower of 'Charm' is white color and horizontal-facing. The flower number of a plant and its diameter is 7.4 and 16.5 cm with 24.5 ornamental(flowering) days. The plant height is 60.3 cm with 70.3 number of leaves. The stem diameter and internode length is 1.2 cm and 1.1 cm, respectively, meaning the plant is compact and sturdy. And the number of seed per a capsule is 251.1. The results of these evaluation, therefore, suggest that seedling Lilium longiflorum 'Charm' can be used as a pot plant due to its short stems, many number of flowers per plant, long ornamental period, strong growth habit with many leaves and thick stem diameter.
