The large bumblebee, Bombus terrestris, indigenous to Europe and used extensively for high-value crop pollination, has been artificially introduced in several parts of the world. Here we show the interspecific hybridization between bumblebee species, B. terrestris and B. ignitus, under laboratory conditions. The mating and oviposition percentages of the interspecific hybridization of a B. terrestris queen with a B. ignitus male were higher than those of the intraspecific mating of B. ignitus. Furthermore, the competitive copulation experiment indicated that the mating of B. ignitus males with B. terrestris queens was 1.8-fold more frequent than with B. ignitus queens. The interspecific hybridization of a B. ignitus queen with a B. terrestris male produced either B. ignitus workers or the B. ignitus male phenotype, and the hybridization of a B. terrestris queen with a B. ignitus male produced B. terrestris males. Genetic tests using a portion of the mitochondrial COI gene for the parent and hybrid phenotypes indicated that mitochondrial DNA in the interspecific hybridization was maternally inherited. Our results indicated that interspecific hybridization occurred between B. ignitus and B. terrestris, which suggests that the hybridization will have a negative impact of competition and genetic pollution of native bumblebees.

Objectives : The consumption of licorice is large in Korea, but domestic production is insufficient due to the lack of adaptability. This study aimed to provide a morphological basis for adding interspecific hybrid licorice with improved adaptability to pharmacopoeia. Methods : This study was to establish identification criteria for the original plants, external and internal morphology of the authentic herbal medicines (Glycyrrhiza uralensis, G. glabra and G. inflata), market products and artificially interspecific hybrid forms of licorice. For this purpose, previous studies were investigated and visual and histological observations were carried out. We focused on the internal morphology by microscopic observation for securing objectivity. Finally, we proposed the identification keys for precise classification of each part. Results : 1) Original plant : Licorice species in the compendium were distinguished by the number of leaflets, presence of hair on the fruit, curvature and swelling of the fruit. 2) External morphology : Licorice species were distinguished by degree of powderiness, tearing gap, radial structure in the cross section and existence of protrusion of outer epidermis. 3) Internal morphology : Licorice species were distinguished by the degree of development of phloem fiber bundle, development of obliterated sieve, whether the secondary medullary ray are branched. In the case of interspecific hybrids, the characteristics of both species used for hybridization were mixed in all observation methods. Conclusions : These results suggest that the interspecific crossbred licorice is suitable for the pharmacopoeial standard. Therefore, it can be applied as a herbal medicine through additional supplementary study.

In abalones, interspecific hybridization has been suggested as a possible means to increase production and desired traits for the industry. In Korea, Haliotis gigantea is considered a species with a larger size and higher temperature tolerance than H. discus hannai. However, H. discus hannai is considered the most valuable and popular fishery resource due to its better acceptance and higher market prices. Thus, viable interspecific hybrids have been produced by artificial inseminating H. gigantea eggs with H. discus hannai sperm. However, the reciprocal hybrid cross was not successful. In this study, the hybridity and the growth and thermal tolerance performance of the interspecific hybrids were examined. A combination of various assays revealed maximum growth occurrence at 21℃ and the higher growth rate in the hybrids than that of H. discus hannai parent. In addition, the growth and survival at high-temperature (28℃) of the hybrids was equivalent to that of the highly tolerant H. gigantea parent, suggesting new possibilities to overcome the mass mortality in H. discus hannai during high temperature periods of summer season in Korea. Furthermore, the induced interspecific hybrid status was confirmed by the presence of species-specific bands for each parental species of the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) profiles using universal rice primer (URP), which could be used as speciesspecific markers to distinguish the hybrids and their parental species.

연초 N. glauoa(2n=24)와 N. langsdorffii(2n=18)의 종간상 호교잡에 의하여 종간잡종을 획득하였다. N. glauca $\times$ N. langsdorffii 교잡에서는 100%의 F$_1$ 종자를 획득할 수 있었으나, N. langsdorffii $\times$ N. glauca교잡에서는 종자결실이 극히 불량하였다. 그러나 종자 발아율은 모두 양호하였으며, 정상 식물체로 생장하였다. F$_1$식물체의 chromosome수를 조사한 결과 모두 2n=21개로 종간잡종임이 확인되었으며, 엽병의 존재여부 및 형태, 잎의 형태, 꽃잎의 형태와 색깔 및 크기, 화분의 색깔 등의 형태적 특성을 조사한 결과 모두 종간잡 종임을 재차 확인 할 수 있었다. F$_1$잡종식물체에서는 spontaneous tumor인 genetic tumor가 형성되었으며, N. glauca을 모본으로 한 교잡체에서는 생식생장기부터 형성되었고, N. langsdorffii을 모본으로 한 잡종체에서는 생식생장기 이후에만 형성되었다. 특히 genetic tumor 조직을 기내에서 식물호르몬 무첨가 배지에서 배양할 경우 생장이 매우 왕성하였으며 많은 teratoma shoot를 형성하였다. 또한 genetic tumor 조직이 아닌 일반 F$_1$식물체의 잎과 줄기절편도 식물호르몬 무첨가 배지에 접종되었을 때에도 15일경부터 callus가 왕성히 형성되었으며, 30일경부터는 수많은 teratoma shoot가 형성되었다. 식물호르몬 무첨가배지에서 잡종체의 teratoma shoot 형성은 N. langsdorffii $\times$ N. glauca 보다 N. glauca $\times$ N. langsdorffii가 더 양호한 경향을 보였다. Teratoma shoot 중에서는 뿌리는 가지고 있지 않지만 지상부가 정상적으로 자란 shoot를 절취하여 다시 조직배양 할 경우에는 영양생장기에 배양잡종식물체에서 많은 genetic tumor가 형성되었다.

Dehydration Responsive Element Binding (DREB) gene is one of the essential transcription factors plants use for responding to stress conditions including salinity, drought, and cold stress. The purpose of this study was to isolate the full length and characterize the DREB gene from three different genotypes of sugarcane, wild, commercial cultivar, and interspecific hybrid sugarcane. The length of the gene, designated ScDREB was 789 bp, and coding for a putative polypeptide of 262 amino acid residues. Sequences of the gene were submitted to the GenBank database with accession numbers of KX280722.1, KX280721.1, and KX280719.1 for wild sugarcane, commercial cultivar (KPS94-13), and interspecific hybrid (Biotec2), respectively. In silico characterization indicated that the deduced polypeptide contains a putative nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequence, and a conserved AP2/ERF domain of the DREB family, at 82-140 amino residues. Based on multiple sequence alignment, sequences of the gene from the three sugarcane genotypes were classified in the DREB2 group. Gene expression analysis indicated, that ScDREB2 expression pattern in tested sugarcane was up-regulated by salt stress. When the plants were under 100 mM NaCl stress, relative expressions of the gene in leaves was higher than those in roots. In contrast, under 200 mM NaCl stress, relative expressions of the gene in roots was higher than those in leaves. This is the first report on cloning the full length and characterization, of ScDREB2 gene of sugarcane. Results indicate that ScDREB2 is highly responsive to salt stress.

This study was conducted to identify taxonomic differences in the characteristics of Rhodeus uyekii and Rhodeus ocellatus during their initial life history via an interspecific hybridization experiment. Hybrids were compared to their parent species, and the findings were used to inform developmental research in commercially useful aquarium fish. The hatching rates of the cross-bred eggs were 75.9% for cross UO (R. uyekii ♀${\times}$R. ocellatus♂) and 71.9% for cross OU (R. ocellatus♀${\times}$R. uyekii♂), which did not differ greatly from the hatching rates of the normal cross-bred group. Backcross experiments resulted in 100% egg mortality during development. Newly hatched larvae of the original hybrid crosses were similar to those of the maternal line, and the color of the egg yolk was similar to that of the paternal line; therefore, the respective traits of the interspecific parents were identifiable within the cross-bred offspring.

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.

본 연구는 주요 배유전자원 43 accession을 대상으로 육종소재로 활용할 수 있는 배 유전자원 선발과 종내 또는 종간 5개 교배집단 609 seedling에서 배 검은별무늬병 저항성 발현을 확인하고자 수행하였다. P. pyrifolia, P. bretschneideri, P. ussuriensis는 검은별무늬병 병든 과실률이 각각 59.5, 73.4, 63.0%, P. pyrifolia와 P. bretschneideri 종간 교잡으로 얻어진 품종은 77.7%로 병든 과실률이 비교적 높았으나 P. communis, P. pyrifolia ${\times}$ P. communis종간교잡에 속하는 품종들은 15% 미만의 병든 과실률을 보였다. 검은별무늬병에 대한 저항성을 종별로 구분하여 Duncan 검정한 결과, P. bretschneideri, P. pyrifolia, P. ussuriensis, pyrifolia ${\times}$ P. bretschneideri 종이 P. communis, P. pyrifolia ${\times}$ P. communis두 개 종 그룹보다 검은별무늬병 병든 과실률이 유의하게 높았고 이러한 경향은 교배집단에서도 동일하였다. P. pyrifolia 종내 교배집단은 80% 이상의 검은별무늬병 감염률을 보인 반면, P. pyrifolia ${\times}$ P. communis의종간교배 집단은 2% 수준의 낮은 배 검은별무늬병 감염률을 보였다. P. pyrifolia 와 P. communis를 종간교배 하면 서양배의 저항성 인자가 우성으로 작용하여 그 후대에서 배 검은별무늬병에 강한 개체들이 대부분 얻어지기 때문에 P. communis는 배 검은별무늬병저항성 품종 육종소재로 적합하다.

Interspecific hybridization experiments were conducted between the common seahorse Hippocampus kuda (male) and the slender seahorse H. reidi (female) during artificial rearing to develop a new aquarium fish with unique polyandrous mating. Molecular analysis via mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome b and nuclear DNA (ncDNA) ribosomal protein S7 gene supported the hybridization between the two species, and the hybrid also showed morphological characteristics of both species. Juveniles of H. kuda have dense melanophores on the whole body or only on the trunk and tail, whereas juveniles of H. reidi have thin melanophores on the whole body or present in stripes only along their prominent trunk and tail rings. However, all the hybrid juveniles had dense melanophores only on the tail, with the striped trunk rings, thus showing an intermediate pattern, and these patterns were limited to the fairly early stage of development (1-10 days old). In contrast, the two eye spines in the hybrid were apparent after 9 days old, which were not inherited from H. kuda (one eye spine), but from H. reidi (two eye spines). According to LOESS (local regression) analysis, the growth rate increased between 20 and 25 days, and the hybrids grew faster than H. kuda when they entered the explosive second phase of growth between 25 and 45 days for all the seahorses. This study highlights the hybridization between H. kuda and H. reidi may contribute to the improved taxonomic information of young seahorses.
