In recent years, we frequently observed missmatched pairs between male Asian toads, Bufo gargarizans, and bullfrogs, Rana catesbeiana, at the toad breeding ponds, where scramble competition for mating occurred among the male toads. Thus, we performed two-choice experiments to investigate recognition ability of mates and species in male toads. The test males did not discriminate sexes, but the clasped stimulus males immediately produced release calls and stopped it while the clasped stimulus female did not. In addition, the test male toads did not discriminate reproductive state of females and even species. However, male toads chose larger individuals. The present results indicate that the main reason of missmatched amplexus by the male toads is due to 1) the lack of recognition cues of conspecifics, 2) the lack of communication tools like release calls, and 3) the larger size of bullfrogs than male toads themselves.

한국산 청개구리속 2종의 종분화를 구명하기 위하여 이들의 분포, 번식시기를 조사하고 7개 집단을 대상으로 형태 및 유전적 변이를 비교하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. Hyla japonica의 번식 시기는 4월 초에 시작되어 5월 초에 그 절정에 달하는 반면 H.suweonensis는 5월 하순에 mating call정취되고 번식 시기는 6월 중순에 절정에 달하여 이들사이에는 약 45일간의 차이가 있다. H.japonica는 남한의 전역에 넓게 분포하는 반면 H.suweonensis는 경기도 일원의 평야 지대에 국한되어 분포하였다. 7개 형질을 이용하여 discriminant function analysis를 실시한 결과 두 종을 뚜렷이 구별할 수 있었다. 유전적 변이정도를 비교한 결과 H.japonica는 H.suweonensis에 비하여 약 2배 정도 변이가 컸다. H.japonica의 집단 간 평균 유전적 근연치는 S=0.893인 데 반하여 H.suweonensis의 집단간 평균 유전적 근연치는 S=0.964로 집단간의 차이가 매우 적었다. 반면 두 종의 평균 유전적 근연치는 S=0.520으로 이 값은 일반적으로 양서류의 종 간 근연치와 일치하였다. 번식시기, 분포, 종내 집단간 유전적 차이, 분화년대 및 분포경로 등을 종합검토한 결과 H.japonica에서 H.suweonensis가 분화되었다고 추정되며 분화시기는 플라이오세 말기에서 플라이스토세 초기 사이로 추측되었다.

Agriculture is the most primitive civilized Activities of mankind but also the propellant of civilization development. Because it is the most basic material goods source of mankind. Among these materials rice is one of the most important part of these, we call them the substance of survival. From the beginning of the agricultural activities to the present we have experienced three industrial revolutions and are experiencing the Fourth Industrial Revolution. With the development of science and technology makes the efficiency of agricultural production is higher and higher, but compared with the original we are facing the same problem: natural disasters; pests and diseases; now also face the depletion of resources, environmental degradation and other issues. Therefore, improve and cultivate new crop varieties to make it better resistance and more production for better develop modern agriculture. It's very helpful for human social development. And also it is the responsibility and task of modern molecular breeding. In this study, I used bacterial leaf blight to find a better resistance gene to improve the resistance of rice. Frist Cultivate k3 of bacterial leaf blight, than inoculation by leaf clipping method (Kauffman,1973) in CNDH and SNDH population at 40days after rice transplanting. Check the lesion length by inoculation plants at 14days after inoculation, and record data for QTL analysis program. Than I get 4 intervals in 3 different chromosomal regions. I found these defense genes in the 4 intervals. So I used NCBI Justbio, Rapdb, etc. to finding these genes in physical map, than design primer for map base cloning. At last these defense genes will be employed in further research for introduction of the gene to the parental plant and rice breeding for solving food crisis.

The soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is one of the most important crop resources worldwide as food and forage. It is also important and valuable that to hold crop resources to have high genetic diversities. Recently, a core collection has been constructed in many plants to preserve the genetic resources of various plants. A core collection is small population to represent the genetic diversity of the total collection, and is of strategic importance as they allow the use of a small part of a germplasm collection that is representative of the total collection. Here, we developed the core collection consisting of 816 accessions by using approximately 180,000 (180K) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) developed in previous study. In addition, we performed genetic diversity and population structure analysis to construct the core collection from entire 4,392 collections. there were excluded sample call rates less than 93% and duplicated samples more than 99.9% according to genotype analysis using 180K SNPs from entire collections. Furthermore, we were also excluded natural hybrid resources which Glycine max and Glycine soja are mixed in half through population structure analysis. As a result, we are constructed the core collection of genetic diversity that reflects 99% of the entire collections, including 430 cultivated soybeans (Glycine max) and 386 wild soybeans (Glycine soja). The core collection developed in this study should be to provide useful materials for both soybean breeding programs and genome-wide association studies.

We have conducted a verification test of correlation between bird community indices and bird sound recording results in order to use the equipment which deals with the automatic sound collecting system, the song meter. The study areas include four sites which are Gombaeryoung and Zochimryoung in Jeombongsan Mountain and Jookryoung and Gochiryoung in Sobaeksan National Park. We collected the bird sound data five times using a sound recorder and field survey results in the same place of the study site. As a result of the sound recording from the field survey, the species recorded by three researchers of sound analyst include common resident species or species which have a relatively conspicuous call and song. On the contrary, the species recorded by only one researcher are a relatively rare or inconspicuous species or was familiar with the personal experiences of each researcher. The number of species recorded by only one researcher totaled fourteen species (36.8 %), and that of two researchers totaled twelve species (31.6 %), and that of three researchers totaled twelve species (31.6 %). The correlations of the number of species among three researchers was not significant in some results, but the sum or maximum count of the number of species was useful to estimate a significant correlation between the result of researchers and the indices of field surveys. As a result of correlation analysis by using sound recordings, the maximum number of species among the three researchers significantly correlated with the number of species, the species diversity index and the species abundance index in the field survey at the same site, however it did not correlate with the number of individuals and species evenness index. As a result of sound analysis collected from the stationary sound recording system; song meter, the number of frequencies in bird songs and calls correlated with the number of species in the field survey at the same site. The number of calls and songs decreased as time went by. Finally, we could test the active time range and change the activity strength by using a sound recording system. In particular, that sound recording system is able to collect data in same time and site, so it is expected so that the equipment not only replenish a shortage of researchers and survey periods in field research in a short term monitoring survey, but also be able to acquire statistical objectivity.

The author is the first man who tried to use an anesthetic on insect specially for silkworm in orde to evaluate the silkworm health and silk yielding ability and the obtained results are as followings. 1. The necessary ether vapor induction for narcosis on silkworms is varied by the glowth of the silkworm which the larger worm is, the longer induction is required. For instance, it was 2∼3 minutes for the worms of third day fifth instar silkworm in case use of ether anesthetic. 2. The longer anesthetic induction for silkworms, the longer recovery needs from anesthesia. In case five minutes ether vapor induction, silkworms recovered narcosis during in 5∼130 minutes which had varied very much by the health variation. 3. The ether induction caused silkworm to vomit digestive juice from a few per cent of the worms, but the chloroform induction showed majority of the worms to vomit the digestive juice out of mouth. So, the ether was found as better anesthetic for silkworms. 4. When ether induction last more than 20∼30 minutes, the recovered silkworms can eat mulberry, but when it gets more than three hours they can not eat mulberry. And when it last more than ten minutes, the silkworm may eat mulberry leaf, but they can not spinn cocoon properly. 5. In case five minutes ether induction for silkworms on third day fifth instar, the stronger variety is, the rallier recovered from narcosis. 6. The recovering duration from narcosis varies regarding with each worm health which shows Poisson′s distribution even in a same variety silkworm. 7. The female worms recover from narcosis earlier than male worms which means the female worm is stronger than male one. 8. The later recovered silkworm from narcosis spinned more rich cocoon silk and ended with smaller pupae weight. Such a tendency showed until at some recovery duration, then the silk yield droped down on the worms recovered in more longer duration. The author (Choe) had named such a relation curve as "Silk Yield Curve against Silkworm Health." 9. The silk yield or cocoon layer ratio had varied from 13 to 27% even in a same worm varity cocoon which showed serious variation and call attention carefulness for the duplication work of a variety silkworm eggs. 10. Not always the rich silk yielding worm is the best worm during the silkworm selection and it should be considered with the silkworm health evaluation. 11. At present situation, only specific breeding expert is allowed to join in the selection service because of need many years experience by use of visual observation, but the ether anesthesia method may help such an evaluation with more accuracy and easy way even for the people in fresh on the field. 12. The effect of the narcosis on the silkworm for the next generation or hybrid worm will be reported in next publication.

지금까지 매미 울음에 영향을 미치는 환경요인에 관한 연구는 많지 않으며 특히 야간에 우는 매미에 대한 이해는 매우 부족한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구는 도심지 열대야 및 빛 공해가 매미 울음에 영향을 미치는지 밝히는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구대상지는 서울시 서초구 아파트단지와 원주시 치악산국립공원이었다. 연구 대상종은 여름철 우점종인 참매미와 말매미를 선정하였다. 매미 울음은 7~8월 사이에 아파트단지는 25일간, 치악산은 14일간, 매일 24시간 녹음하였다. 매미 울음에 영향을 미치는 환경요인은 기온, 강수량, 습도, 일조량을 선정하였다. 통계분석은 시간당 울음, 24시간 울음, 야간 울음(21:00~04:00)의 세 가지 항목과 기상요인과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 첫번째, 참매미는 아침 여명기에 울음을 시작하고 이른 아침에 울음의 피크를 이루며, 말매미는 오전과 오후에 울음의 피크를 형성하고 저녁 여명기에 울음을 멈추어 두 종간 울음 패턴의 차이가 있었다. 두 번째, 참매미는 말매미가 본격적으로 울기 시작하면 울음 빈도가 낮아져 종간 영향을 미칠 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 세 번째, 참매미와 말매미 울음과 기상요인과의 상관관계 분석결과, 두 종 모두 기온이 높을수록 많이 울고 비가 오는 날은 적게 우는 경향을 나타내었다. 네 번째, 야간으로 한정해 보았을 때, 말매미는 야간의 온도가 높을 때($24^{\circ}C{\sim}30^{\circ}C$, 평균 $27^{\circ}C$) 우는 데 반해, 참매미는 기상요인과는 상관관계를 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 참매미는 조명이 있는 지역에서만 야간에 울고 있어 빛공해가 원인으로 추정되었다.
