Mushrooms belonging to macrofungi have been consumed by humans for their nutritional and medicinal values for centuries throughout the world. Mushroom farming is practiced in more than 100 countries of the world, with production increasing at a rate of 7% per annum. High yield and good quality are always the principal goals for agriculturally important crops, including mushrooms. Several breeding methods are employed for strain improvement such as mass selection based on the natural chance mutation and induced mutation (mutation breeding), protoplast fusion technology, cross breeding and transgenic breeding. However, mutation breeding has shown prominent success in crop plant improvement. Though several-hundred mutant crop varieties have been developed around the world, the mutation breeding of mushrooms is limited. This review paper explores the potential application of radiation on the development of mutant varieties of mushrooms for breeding with desired traits such as better quality and productivity.

이 연구는 2009년 3월에서 2012년 7월까지 한라산에 설치한 인공둥지에서 번식하는 박새류(Titmouse)의 고도변화에 따른 번식생태학적 특징을 밝히기 위하여 이루어졌다. 박새류의 최초산란일은 고도가 높아짐에 따라 늦어지는 양상을 보였고, 고도상승에 따른 기온감소가 최초산란일에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 결과를 종합해보면, 번식기(4~6월)의 평균기온과 산란일 간에는 유의한 상관을 보이지는 않았다(p>0.05). 인공둥지 이용률은 지역과 연도별 차이는 없었으나 박새(Parus major)와 곤줄박이(Parus varius) 두 종간에는 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한배산란수는 종간에 차이가 있었으나(p<0.05) 고도와 연도별 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 부화성공률, 이소성공률, 번식성공률은 각각 2011년 67.3%, 99.5%, 67.0%이었고, 2012년에는 71.3%, 96.8%, 69.0%로 이소성공률은 높았고, 부화성공률과 번식성공률은 비슷하게 나타났다. 고도 차이에 따른 기온의 변화가 번식시기에 영향을 미치는 것은 확인되었으나 다른 번식생태학적 특성과의 상관관계는 확인할 수 없었다. 따라서 고도에 따른 기온변화가 박새류의 번식에 미치는 영향을 보다 명확하게 밝히기 위해서는 미기후요인과 먹이원 등의 조사를 통한 장기적인 연구가 필요할 것이라 판단된다.

To examine factors affecting feeding efficiency of grey herons (Ardea cinerea), the foraging behavior was studied at a reservoir in Asan city, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea during the breeding seasons (from April to July) of 2006 and 2007. Four factors (age of foraging birds, time of day, breeding stage, and microhabitat type) were analyzed. Adults were more efficient foragers than recently fledged juveniles, and they had a higher success rate than juveniles. About half of the adults caught large prey, whereas most juveniles caught only small prey. Adult grey herons had different feeding efficiency according to the breeding stage. Pecking and capture rates were high during the late period (fledging stage), and biomass intake rates were high during the early (incubating stage) and late periods. However, time of day had no significant effect on foraging activity of adult grey herons. Feeding activities of adult grey herons also showed significant variation among microhabitat types. Pecking and capture rates were higher in the submerged plants area, but capture success rate and biomass intake rate were not different according to microhabitat type.

We investigated the changes in the population size and inter-specific space usage for breeding in mixed breeding sites of the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), grey heron (Ardea cinerea), great egret (Ardea alba modesta) and intermediate egret (Egretta intermedia) in Gammul-myeon, Goesan-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea, in 2016-2017. These species bred in two adjacent habitats (site A and site B). The number of breeding pairs of all species and the size of the breeding area at site B increased in 2017. In 2017, great cormorants at site B occupied the breeding sites previously occupied by the other species in 2016, while the grey heron and great egret occupied the sites around the great cormorant breeding site. The heights of nest trees and nests of great cormorant and grey heron did not differ temporally, but these heights in site B were significantly higher than those in site A for great cormorants. For great egrets, these greatly decreased in site B in 2017. Thus, the great cormorant either moved to favourable nest sites for breeding success or selected nest sites used by the herons in the previous year. Further studies of these two possibilities are necessary.

Saunders' gulls (Laurs saundersi) which are listed as globally vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List are distributed in East Asia and breed mainly in China and Korea. Their population is estimated to be between 7,100 to 9,600. Songdo reclaimed lands in the western coast of South Korea are the main breeding sites for these species. However, most of these breeding sites have been seriously disturbed in the last several years because of new urban development constructions. This study was conducted to provide baseline data on the breeding ecology of Saunders' gulls. Since 1998, the breeding population has rapidly increased in South Korea, with the number of nests rising from 85 nests in 2000 to 185 nests in 2005. Egg volume is more variable than breadth or length. Clutch size, hatching and breeding success were $2.9{\pm}0.81$ (n=182, mean$\pm$sd.), 48.07% (75 hatched egg/156 eggs) and 29.08% (155 fledglings/533 eggs), respectively. Factors affecting breeding failure were predation, rainfall, starvation and supernormal clutches. These results are provided along with other cited literature to argue for conservation of Saunders' gulls.

본 연구는 2005년부터 2007년까지 파주, 강화도, 이천, 시화호, 충주 등 5개 지역에 서식하는 수리부엉이 9쌍의 둥지를 정기적으로 촬영, 관찰하여 번식생태와 교미행동을 연구하였다. 한배산란수는 $1\sim4$개로 평균 2.77개(n=15)였으며, 부화성공률은 약 71%(n=34)였고, 이소성공률은 약 83%(n=23)였다. 수리부엉이는 산란이 끝난 후에도 암수간의 교미행동이 지속되며, 새끼들이 둥지를 떠나는 시기인 부화 후 $7\sim8$주까지 교미행동을 계속한다는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 수정 목적 이외의 교미 행동은 암컷과 수컷 모두의 필요에 의해서 이루어지는 것으로써 '부부관계(pair-bond)'의 확인, 유지, 강화를 통해 새끼를 안정적으로 키우기 위한 것으로 해석된다.

This study was conducted to determine clutch size and habitat usage of Kentish plovers (Charadrius alexandrinus) breeding on Sinja-do lslet in the Nakdong Estuary from 22 April to 12 July in 1995 and from 21 April to 20 June in 1996. The Kentish plover preferred grasslands and damp sands to dry dunes as nesting sites. The difference in hatching success among these microhabitats was attributed to high tides, which washed away many nests on damp sands, and strong winds, which frequently shifted the sand to bury eggs on dry dunes. The main mortality factor in grasslands was predation by magpies Pica pica. Each clutch contained one to four eggs, with a mode of three eggs. Hatching success was highest in two-egg clutches and lowest in one- and four-egg clutches. The mean interval for egg laying was 1.8 days between the first and second eggs and 2.1 days between the second and third eggs. The average incubation period was about 24.2 days.

가축 질병에 빠르게 대응하고 번식 성공률을 높이는 것은 농가의 생산성 및 이윤 향상에 기여한다. 농가 노동력 감소와 인구 고령화로 인해 인력 절감형의 효율적인 가축 건강 및 번식 관리가 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 IoT 기반의 경구 투여용 센서로부터 수집된 체온 데이터를 바탕으로 가축의 건강과 번식 상태를 모니터링 하기 위한 모바일 어플리케이션을 개발한다. 가축 건강에 이상이 발생한 경우 모바일 어플리케이션 경고 메시지를 통해 사용자에게 실시간으로 알리고 또한 가축의 번식 예정일을 제공해 사용자가 가축의 번식 시기를 놓치지 않고 대응할 수 있도록 한다.

In recent decades, scientists have had great success identifying specific loci that contribute to the variability of agronomically important phenotypes. But, while loci of large-effect remain the simplest and most commonly identified in genomic studies, mounting evidence suggests that a substantial proportion of crop evolution is driven by loci of small effect. In this talk, results demonstrating that large-effect loci are not the primary driver of maize evolution will be presented, along with a new method to test quantitative traits for evidence of past selection. By applying this this method to a maize breeding population, we show that agronomic traits important for breeding are often dictated by loci of small effect. The implications of these results for driving crop improvement will be discussed, including their potential application to breeding protocols that anticipate global climate change.
