One thousand forty-four isolates of Pyricularia oryzae obtained during the period 1962-1974 front blast-infected rice samples from all rice-growing areas of Korea were tested on the Japanese differential set of twelve rice varieties. Twenty-seven races of the fungus were differentiated. The number of races falling in groups T,C and N were 4, 15 and 8, respetively. Since only Japonica type varieties had been cultivated widely before 1966, N-race groups were found to be most Prevalent with a frequency of about $85\%$ of the total isolates. After 1966, T-and C-race groups gradually increased to $21\%$ and $42\%$ respectively, as a result of the widespread cultivation of Tongil bred from a cross between IR8 x(Yukara x T(N)1. Before 1966, a few T, and C-race groups occurred only in the Suweon region; since 1966, most of the races differentiated have been uniformly distributed throughout the country regardless of region. The most prevalent races in Korea were N-2 and C-8. The variety Tetep was resistant to all races previously identified in Korea, but a new race (T-d) to which Tetep is susceptible has been found each year since 1973. It appears likely that races capable of attacking Indica types of rice will become increasingly prevalent and a programme of continuous screening is needed to detect new races as soon as they appear.

Morphological characteristics of the cross-bred $F_1$ hybrid between female Paralichthys olivaceus and male Platichthys stellatus were studied. The hybrids showed common biological characteristics of both parents, but showed more morphological similarity to P. stellatus than P. olivaceusin the following biometries: higher ratios of body length to body height (56.3%), head length to snout length (20.6%), and head length to upper jaw length (34.2%). They also showed some significant biometric characteristics similar to P. stellatus, such as ratios of predorsal length (10.5%), prepectoral length (32.2%), preventral length (29.8%), and preanal length (28.0%) to body length. The hybrids had black spots on the dark brownish-green area near the eyes, and they lacked the small bony tubercles that area characteristic of Platichthys stellatus. The hybrids had unique bands: 6~20 bands on the dorsal fin and 5~10 bands on the anal fin that gradually lost their coloration towards the fin margins. The number of fin rays were 60~66 for dorsal fin, 40~51 for anal fin, 18~21 for caudal fin, and 11~12 for pectoral fin. The gills of the hybrids contained 13~18 gill rakers and 73~98 gill filaments. The vertebrae of the hybrids numbered 34~37, with 2~3 vertebrae fused from the start of the caudal vertebrae.

The new garden chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum Ramat.) cultivar 'Nuri Ball' was developed at Yesan Chrysanthemum Experiment Station of Chungcheongnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services in 2011. 'Nuri Ball' was bred through a cross between the '02-145-01' line as the female parent with yellow flower color and '02-04-32' as the male plant with white flower color in 2004. Three years of adaptation trials were conducted from 2006 to 2009 under natural conditions. This study compared the external shape type with that of 'White Miri' and conducted ploidy and RAPD (Random amplified polymorphic DNA) marker analyses. These tests showed that 'Nuri Ball' cultivar has its own characteristics compared with the control 'White Miri'. 'Nuri Ball' was a shrub type variety with semi-double flowers of 4.0 cm in width with white petals. It could produce 1025.2 flowers per plant in autumn. Compared with the control 'White Miri', 'Nuri Ball' was similar in terms of shape and color of flowers, but was different in flower size and number. The natural flowering time of 'Nuri Ball' was late September. It had very vigorous growth and an early budding plant. 'Nuri Ball' was demonstrated to be a new cultivar based on ploidy test and RAPD analysis. 'Nuri Ball' is intended for use as a bed chrysanthemum and expected to contribute to farm incomes in landscaping.

A new Phalaenopsis cultivar 'SM 333' was bred by Sangmiwon Orchid, Korea, which produces young plants through tissue culture techniques. The new cultivar 'SM 333', showing the phenotype of multiflora with pink color and small, multibranching-type characteristics, was derived from crossing between Phalaenopsis 'Odoriko' and 'Be Tris'. An elite individual number '02-03-33' later termed 'SM 333' was selected among about 300 individual progenies, based on an intensive selection process covering vegetative and flowering distinctiveness over more than 2 years. In year 2004-2005, the 1st and 2nd characteristic analyses were carried out through performance and uniformity tests. 'SM 333' shows flower color that is bright clean pink (RHS # RP69D) and flower shape that is formal type with 5.0 and 5.8 cm in flower height and width, respectively. 'SM 333' is regarded as raceme flower type suitable for the small casual flower market. The leaves of 'SM 333' grow horizontally and about 20.8 cm in length and 6.5 cm in width. This cultivar also possesses no genetic variation, and is amenable to fast in vitro propagation and easy growth due to its vigorous growth habit. This 'SM333' was registered (Reg. # 2916) with Korea Seed & Variety Service (KSVS) on 1st December, 2009, and the plant breeder's right is currently controlled by Sangmiwon Orchid Company, Korea.

This study was carried out to investigate the possibility for utilization of waste materials and the characteristics of pork by feeding citrus byproducts. The groups consisted of the pork without citrus byproduct (TB-0) and the pork fed with 6% and 10% citrus byproduct during growing and fattening period (TB-1). The contents of moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, vitamin $B_1$ and $B_2$, total amino acids, and caloric were not significantly different between TB-0 and TB-1 (p>0.05). The contents of cholesterol and the magnesium of TB-1 were lower than those of TB-0. Palmitic acid was the most abundant among saturated fatty acids while oleic acid was the most abundant among unsaturated fatty acids in both groups. In case of sensory score, the color and aroma of raw meat and taste, texture, juiciness and palatability of boiled meat were not influenced by feeding of citrus byproduct. But the flavor preference of boiled meat of TB-1 was higher than that of TB-0.

Korean Native Pig (KNP) has a uniform black coat color, excellent meat quality, white colored fat, solid fat structure and good marbling. However, its growth performance is low, while the western origin Yorkshire pig has high growth performance. To take advantage of the unique performance of the two pig breeds, we raised crossbreeds (KNP ${\times}$ Yorkshire to make use of the heterotic effect. We then analyzed the liver transcriptome as it plays an important role in fat metabolism. We sampled at two stages: 10 weeks and at 26 weeks. The stages were chosen to correspond to the change in feeding system. A total of 16 pigs (8 from each stage) were sampled and RNA sequencing was performed. The reads were mapped to the reference genome and differential expression analysis was performed with edgeR package. A total of 324 genes were found to be significantly differentially expressed (${\left|log2FC\right|}$ > 1 & q < 0.01), out of which 180 genes were up-regulated and 144 genes were down-regulated. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed that the samples clustered according to stages. Functional annotation of significant DEGs (differentially expressed genes) showed that GO terms such as DNA replication, cell division, protein phosphorylation, regulation of signal transduction by p53 class mediator, ribosome, focal adhesion, DNA helicase activity, protein kinase activity etc. were enriched. KEGG pathway analysis showed that the DEGs functioned in cell cycle, Ras signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway etc. Twenty-nine transcripts were also part of the DEGs, these were predominantly Cys2His2-like fold group (C2H2) family of zinc fingers. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis showed that there were three highly interconnected clusters, suggesting an enrichment of genes with similar biological function. This study presents the first report of liver tissue specific gene regulation in a cross-bred Korean pig.

Jayoung was bred within the potato breeding program of Highland Agriculture Research Center (HARC), National Institute of Crop Science. It was originated from a cross made between Atlantic as a female and AG34314 as a male parent in 2003. Jayoung was evaluated as a clone number Daegwan 1-104 for the growth and tuber characteristics, yielding ability, and resistance to major potato diseases in the regional yield trials from 2006 to 2007. Finally, this clone was renamed as Jayoung and was presented to Korean Seed & Variety Service in 2007 for registration as a new potato cultivar. Jayoung has a oval shape, shallow eye depth, dark purple skinned and fleshed tuber characteristics. Its mean tuber yields from the regional yield trials was 37.3 MT/ha, and it showed the highest yield in spring cropping. Jayoung showed high resistance to both common scab (Streptomyces scabies) and potato leaf roll virus (PLRV), however it was susceptible to late blight (Phytophthora infestans). The dry matter content of Jayoung was fairy high 20.3%, therefore it is suitable for both chip processing and table usage. Its anthocyanin content was the highest in autumn cropping as 43.7 mg/100 g fresh weight and its mean anthocyanin content was 4.7 times higher than that of Jasim.
