A total 943 accession of soybeans (G. max) and 50 wild soybeans (G. soja) were examined for leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) isozyme variation by 5％ polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(PAGE) and isoelectric focusing(IEF) of pH 4~6.5. The Lap1*b by PAGE was the most common phenotype in both G. max and G. soja. The frequency of Lap1*b allele was observed to be higher in G. max(1.00) than in G. soja(0.96) of Korea. This result shows that G. max is fixed for Lapl*b allele at the Lap1 locus. LAP isozyme band type I and II were found using IEF of pH 4~6.5 in G. max and G. soja of Korea. Type I was observed from 92.8％ in G. max and 92.0％ in G. soja, and type II was discovered in 7.2％ G. max and 8.0％ G. soja. This result suggested the possibility to be found more various band types.

This study was performed to cytotoxicity, tyrosinase inhibition activity, intracellular melanin contents to verify the whitening effect of fraction from Glycine soja Siebold et Zucc. (G. soja). Using western blotting, tyrosinase expression in B16F10 melanoma cells and expression levels of tyrosinase related protein-1 (TRP-1) and protein-2 (TRP-2) were examined. As a result, all of the fractions showed a high cell viability over 82% at the concentrations of 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 2.0 mg/mL. When the whitening effects of fractions from G. soja were tested using B16F10 melanoma cells treated with the ${\alpha}$-melanocyte stimulating hormone (${\alpha}-MSH$), the EtOAc fractions inhibited tyrosinase and melanogenesis effectively. The result of protein expression measurement using western blot showed that TRP-1, TRP-2 and tyrosinase protein expression in B16F10 melanoma cells treated with extracts decreased. Therefore, it is concluded that the fractions from G. soja have whitening effect by inhibiting protein related melanogenesis.

Genetic improvement of the cultivated soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr] may be possible through hybridization with its wild progenitor, G. soja Sieb. & Zucc. Interspecific cross between G. max (Hwangkeumkong) and G. soja (IT.182932) was made in the summer of 1997. In F$_2$ the percentage of plant height, nodes per plant, and pods per plant were high but gradually reduced from F$_2$ to F$_4$. In contrast pod length, seeds per pod, and 100-seeds weight were increased gradually through generations advanced. Wild variation as evident in F$_2$ in plant height, number of branches, pods per plant, and 100-seeds weight. Twenty six percent of the F$_2$, 44 % of the F$_3$ and 60% of the F$_4$ segregants showed more G. max traits. The combination of useful traits from both species is possible through interspecific hybridization. The characters that could be transferred from wild species to cultivated species are more pod number, better capacity, and resistance to disease and insects. The interspecific derivatives offer scope for selection for high grain yield. Therefore, introducing genes from G. soja to G. max could be contribute to greater genetic diversity of future cultivars. And semicultivated soybean had some desired characteristics including tolerance to adverse environments and multi-seed characters. It means the infusing of semicultivated germplasm to the cultivated soybean could increase number of seeds and pods per plant significantly, and consequently could enhance selecting potential on yield.

Starch gel electrophoresis was used to examine the banding pattern of Esterase isozyme in the leaf, root-nodule and seedling of four wild legume species, Trifolim repense, Glycine soja, Phaseolus nipponensis and Vigna uexillata. The number of band, enzyme activity and migrating rate of esterase isozyme varies depending on the species and tissues of legume plants. The isozyme banding pattern in the cotyledon and radicle of T. repense showed same pattern, however, the number of band were varible among the cotyledon of G. soja, P. nipponensis and V. vexzllata, respectively. Est-1 in the leaf of G. soja, V, vexillata. root-nodule of G. soja and seedling of V. vexillata expreesed the highest enzyme activity. The Est-1 showed the rapidest migrating rate among the isozymes.

The esterase isozyme in tissue of wild legume plants were separated by horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. Extracts used in this study were prepared from fully expanded young leaf, cotyledon and radicle of seedling and root-nodule of Glycine sola, Vigna vexillata var. tsuscmensis and Trifoliwn repens. The results are as follows; 1. Each tissue examined had a characteristic banding pattcrn. Number of bands in each species, G. soja, V. vexillata, and T . repens, were 14, 8 and 1 1 bands, respectively. And difference in esterase isozyme bands were greater from tissue to tissue than difference between habitat. 2. Est-I, Est-2. Est-3 and Est-4 in G. soja, Est-I in V. vexillata and Est-l and Est-2 in T. repens showed strong cnzyme activity than other enzyme. 3. Esterase isozyme variation in G. soja and T . repens showed more variety than V. vexillata. This is resulted from many genotypic differences within species. 4. The main enLyme among thc esterase isozyme were Est-I. Est-2, Est-3 and Est-4.

The rates of litter production and decomposition of litters from grasslands and forests in Mt. Guryong were studied. The annual litter production of Glycine soja showed the highest value 1950.88 g/$m^2$/yr in the grasslands and that in Quercus acutissima, as 2202.38 g/$m^2$/yr in the forests. The highest decay rate of the grasslands was found in G. soja as k=0.713 and that of the forests was in Salix koreensis as k=0.319. The Z values of k in the grasslands was higher than that in the forests. The shortest half-time of the litter decay in the grasslands was 0.9 years in G. soja and the longest one of the forests was S. koreensis as 2.1 years and the longest of all was Q. mongolica as 5.2 years. In the amount of total nitrogen of litters, G. soja was the highest of the grasslands and S. koreensis was the highest of the forest. The content of the total nitrogen in litters was directly propotional to the decay rates.

In order to investigate the geographical variation of Glycine soja distributed in southern area of Korean peninsula, 8 local populations(Sokcho, Wonju, Mt. Chiak, Cheongju, Andong, Taegu, Ulsan, Sacheon), which located from $34^{\circ}50'00"N$ to $38^{\circ}12'00"N$, were selected according to their latitudes and geographical distances. The seeds of these populations were collected and their contents of mannose and galactose were investigated, Mannose contents in the seeds were variable in the range between the highest 460.00 mg/g (Andong) and the lowest 55.23 mg/g(Sacheon). The contents of galactose were represented remarkable differences from 67.17 mg/g(Sacheon) to 387.50 mg/g(Ulsan) also. The local populations were classified into 3 types such as the middle southern inland type (Andong, Taegu), the middle northern type(Wonju, Mt. Chiak, Cheongju) and the coastal type(Sokcho, Ulsan, Sacheon) according to the ratio of mannose and galactose, which indicate the hardness of seeds in Leguminosae, ranged from 0.41 to 1.73. Particularly, those of middle southern inland populations represented the high values compared with those of other populations.

This study was carried out to investigate polymorphism, gene diversity, and geographical relationships of 81 Korean wild (Glycine soja) and 130 cultivated soybeans (G. max) using seven simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total of 144 alleles were observed in 211 accessions with an average of 20.6. Each SSR loci showed 13 (Satt532) to 41 (Sat_074) multialleles. The range of alleles within the loci was wider in wild soybean than the cultivated soybeans. The average genetic diversity values were 0.88 and 0.69 in wild and cultivated soybeans, respectively. In a scatter diagram of wild and cultivated soybeans based on canonical discriminant analysis, CAN1 accounted for 84.2% while CAN2 did 8.5%. Two species were grouped into three: group I (G. max), group II (G. soja), and group III (complex of G. max and G. soja). The geographical relationships of wild soybean were distinguished into two groups: Gyeonggi for Group I, and Gyeongsang, Jeolla, Gangwon, and Chungcheong for Group II. Those of cultivated soybeans were distinguished into Gyeonggi, Gangwon, and Gyeongsang for Group I, and Jeolla and Chungcheong for Group II. Therefore, the geographical relationships of wild soybeans were well typified based on the ecosystems of the Korean peninsula.

This paper aims to introduce and understand critically the work of Edward Soja, mainly the First part of the which develops his own concepts, such as 'synekism', 'trialectics of space', 'regionality' and 'geohistory'. Most of all, in explaining Geohistory, he emphasizes three 'Urban revolutions': First Urban revolutions in Jericho and ÇatalHüyük, which shows first synekism as proto urban society, Second in Ur and other Sumerian cities where appeared a concentrated power of central government and its transcendental ideologies, and Third in Manchester and in Chicago, typical capitalist cities. These three urban revolutions don't correspond to the established historical periodization. In order to understand these revolutions, it is necessary to comprehend the concept of 'machine' of G. Deleuze and F. Guattari, inspired, in fact, by Lewis Mumford - Primitive Territorial machine, Barbaric Despotic machine, and Civilized Capitalist machine. However, these periodization and concepts of E. Soja have to be applied very cautiously in accordance with concrete historical sources, avoiding theoretical distortion on positivity of historical facts.

Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc., a predominantly selfing annual, has been served as a reservoir of germplasm for soybean, G. max (L.) Merr., cultivar improvement. This study describes the levels and distribution of genetic variation within and among 22 Korean populations of G. soja using starch gel electrophoresis. The species maintains very similar levels of genetic variability within populations observed in most other annuals. At the population level, the mean percent of polymorphic loci (P) was 32.6%, mean number of allele per locus (A) was 1.32, and mean expected heterozygosity (He) was 0.112. In addition, total genetic diversity (HT) calculated only for polymorphic loci was 0.347. However, significant differences in allele frequencies among populations were found for all loci (P<0.001 in each case) and, on average, about 70% of the total variation in the species is common to all populations. Indirects estimate of the number of migrants per generation (Nm=0.58, calculated from mean GST) indicates that gene flow is low among Korean populations of the species. In addition, analysis of fixation indices revealed a substantial heterozygote deficiency in most populations and at all loci. This indicates that most populations sampled may have been substructed largely due to inbreeding (predominantly selfing) and restricted gene flow, coupled with founder effect and genetic drift. Considering a high genetic divergence among populations, it is recommended that several Korean populations of the species should be preserved, especially such as populations in the eastern and southeastern Korean peninsula with high variation.
