Dihaploid lines derived from the another of the $F_1$ of single cross, SC72 $\times$ Hicks (Nicotiana tabacum L.) were estimated the variation, heritablities, genetic correlations and path-co-efficients on agronomic characters and chemical compositions. Dinaploids exhibited reduced vigor and growth when comparecd with the mid-parent value but had increased nicotine contents, and the range of dihaploids characters were deviated more than that of their parents. Heritabilities of days to flowering, leaves per plant, nicotine. contents, leaf size and plant height appeared high value, and the yield, value per kg. and reducing sugar contents were low. There were positive genetic correlations between yield, and value per kg., leaf width, leaves per plant and reducing sugar contents and negative genetic correlations appeared between nicotine contents and the other characters except for index of leaf shape. Path-coefficient analysis of genotypic correlation coefficients showed that leaves per plant and leaf width lave a high direct effect, and plant height and days to flowering have a high indirect effect on yield, respectively.

The proliferation of embryonic cells or adult stem cells in tissue is critically regulated during development and repair. How limited the proliferation of cells, so far, is not much explored. Cell-cell contact proliferation inhibition is known as a crucial mechanism regulating cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. In this study we examined the characters of mouse subcutaneous adipose derived stem cells (msADSC) whether they lost or get contact inhibition during in vitro culture. The characters of msADSC growth after confluence were analyzed using confocal microscope and the expression profiles of contact inhibition related genes were analyzed according to the morphological changes using real-time PCR method. msADSC showed overlapping growth between them but not after passage 14. The cell shapes were also changed after passage 14. The expression profiles of genes which are involved in contact inhibition were modified in the msADSC after passage 14. The differentiation ability of msADSCs to adipocyte, chondrocyte and osteocyte was not changed by such changes of gene expression profiles. Based on these results, it is revealed that smADSC were characterized by getting of strong cell-cell contact inhibition after passage 14 but the proliferation and developmental ability were not blocked by the change of cell-cell contact proliferation inhibition. These finding will help to understand the growth of adipose tissue, although further studies are needed to evaluate the physiological meaning of the cell-cell contact proliferation inhibition during in vitro culture of msADSC.

These studies were conducted to know the any differences in growth characteristics and root quality due to flower color and culture periods in Chinese bellflower. White flowered lines had tendency of increasing in growth characters such as stem numbers, capsule numbers and seed yield per plant, plant height, and root characters such as root weight, root length and root diameter even though statistically not significant. No differences were observed in saponin and essential oil contents between them. Three years old plants had more stems and capsules per plants, root weight and root length than two years old plants while no difference in saponin and essential oil contents between them. Saponin content was gradually decreased while essential oil content was clearly lowed in the roots from plants cultured more than 3 years even though no differences in stem and capsule numbers per plant and plant height.

Two near-isogenic lines with dark and pale green leaves, derived from the F$\_$7/ generation of wxl26 cross were compared on photosynthetic capacity, growth parameters, grain yield and yield-related characters. Dark green-leaved lines contained much greater content of chlorophyll a and b than pale green-leaved ones, but chlorophyll a to b ratio showed no difference between them. The photosynthetic nte per unit leaf area was higher in dark green-leaved lines than in pale green-leaved ones in the flag leaves at heading stage, but that per unit chlorophyll content showed reversed result. The crop growth rate from transplanting to heading was consistantly higher in the dark green-leaved lines, resulting from their greater net assimilation rate. Dark green-leaved lines produced greater number of panicles and spikelets per hill, out yielding pale green-leaved lines, but ripened grain ratio and 1000-grain weight showed no differences between those lines.

Metacordyceps yongmunensis is a newly reported species from Korea, which is very similar to Cordyceps species in morphological characters. It grows on large lepidopteran pupa, and numerous white stromata grow on a single host. Mycelial growth characteristics of M. yongmunensis isolates were studied in different media and at different temperatures. Also, different carbon sources, nitrogen sources, and mineral salts were tested for mycelial growth of M. yongmunensis. Schizophyllum (mushroom) genetics complete medium plus yeast extract, Schizophyllum (mushroom) genetics minimal medium, and Martin's peptone dextrose agar produced longer colony diameters and more compact mycelial density than other media. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth was $25^{\circ}C$. Carbon sources such as sucrose, soluble starch, dextrose, glucose, dextrin, maltose, and fructose showed better mycelial growth, whereas peptone, yeast extract and tryptone resulted in the best mycelial growth of all of the nitrogen sources tested. All of the mineral salts tested showed similar growth as the control, except $K_2HPO_4$ which showed longer colony diameter and more compact mycelial density. The compact colonies were white and cottony with a greenish margin. The results showed that M. yongmunensis is an easy fungus to growas it grew from 30 to more than 50 mm in 2 wk.

Eucalyptus pellita is one of the fast-growing tree species and has become predominant in Indonesian forest plantations. Meanwhile, tree breeding programs with clone development are the best way to provide greater genetic advantages. A better understanding of genetic control on growth and basic density in E. pellita is important for increasing wood productivity and quality. In this study, growth characteristics (tree height, diameter, and volume), basic density and its genetic parameters (heritability, genetic gain and genetic correlation) were determined. The number of clones tested in both trials was 50, divided into 5 blocks, and 5 trees/plot. The results showed that there were significant differences in growth and basic density among clones. There was an interaction between genetics and the environment further indicating the existence of unstable clones. The high heritability was found in tree height (0.82-0.86), diameter (0.82-0.90), and basic density (0.91-0.93). This implies that E. pellita has good opportunities for genetic improvement to increase wood productivity and quality. In addition, the results of genetic correlations among growth characteristics (height, diameter, and volume) and basic density showed positive moderate to highly significant value. It is suggested that these characters may be used to the advantage of the breeder for bringing improvement in these traits simultaneously. Therefore, this study provides important information of the genetic improvement of wood quality in E. pellita in Indonesia.

In this paper, a system for measuring of treeing degradation in organic dielectric material by using image processing technics, is discussed. Traditionally, treeing is measured by visual method. It made difficulty to understanding for features and changes in the configlEation of the tree growth. Using image processing system, it is made to describe the characters of the tree growth, specially length of tree and area of treeing degradation. From this image processing and visual measurement, the similar results were made, an automatic measurement system was made for configuration of the tree growth.

Astragalus membranaceus have used as a medicinal herb and food in Korea. It is limited its harvest by diseases, pests and climate, therefore the main objective of Astragalus membranaceus breeding is the development of varities with the resistance for them. We used mutation breeding to obtain the genetic resources with the resistance for them. Pocheon, the local variety of Astragalus membranaceus, was treated with different levels Y-ray of $100{\sim}600$ Gy. There were investigated the sensitivity on germination and survival rate, plant height and the other characters. Germination rate from 4th day after sowing was significantly decreased above the 300 Gy as compared to the control. Compared to control, the decrements of survival rate were 32, 43, 63, 72, 84 and 89% for 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 Gy, respectively. The sensitive characters to Y-ray were plant height, number of branches per plant and survival rate, and the insensitive characters were number of leaves, length of leaf, and width of leaf. Plant height, number of branches per plant and survival rate seemed to be appropriate characters to decide the radiosensitivity, and radiation doses of $200{\sim}300$ Gy ($LD_{50}$) were recommend for mutation breeding.
