Three mitochondrial cDNA probes from Aedes albopictus were used to demonstrate restriction site polymorphism in mtDNA of three sibling species of Anopheles quadrimaculatus(Say). It was shown by DNA hybridization to have substantial sequence homology betwen the mtDNA of different genus. The proves reveled local restriction site variation between members of the Anopheles quadrimaculatus sibling species complex. Mitochondrical DNA (mtDNA), isolated from individual mosquitoes was digested by type II restriction enzymes and four enzymes were found to be useful for the purpose. Hind III alone could be used to obtain a diagnostic restriction pattern.

The decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide was carried out by using metal-4,4',4",4"'-tetraaminophthalocyanine [Mt-$PcNH_2$, Mt = Fe(III), Co(II)] supported on poly (styrene-co-methacrylic acid), in heterogeneous aqueous system. These catalysts showed a catalse-like activity and Fe(III)-$PcNH_2$ supported on the copolymer was particularly effective for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. It was found that the rate of decomposition increased smoothly in the higher pH region and catalytic reaction was interfered by adding $CN^-,\;CNS^-,\;{C_2O_4}^{-2},\;I^-$ ions. The kinetics of the catalytic reaction was also investigated and the reaction proceeds according to the Michaelis-Menten type mechanism.

This study was conducted to identify the vegetation structure of the Abies nephrolepis forests by analyzing species composition in Mt. Doota and Mt. Cheongok in the Gangwon region with the phytosociological method. In order to perform a field investigation, 18 survey areas with an area of about 400 m2 were set up for the stands where A. nephrolepis grow wild. Communities were classified through TWINSPAN and visualized using DCA (Detrended Correspondence Analysis). Species diversity analysis, importance value analysis, and DBH class analysis were employed to identify the characteristics of each community. As a result, the A. nephrolepis forests in Mt. Doota and Mt. Cheongok have been classified into 4 communities; GroupI, II, III and IV. GroupIis Quercus mongolica-A. nephrolepis competitive forest dominated by Q. mongolica and A. nephrolepis in the order. Group II is A. nephrolepis-Betula ermanii competitive forest dominated by A. nephrolepis, Sorbus commixta, and B. ermanii in the order. Group III is dominated by A. nephrolepis, but is expected to have competition between A. nephrolepis and Q. mongolica in the future due to the mass occurrence of Q. mongolica saplings. A. nephrolepis, S. commixta, and Q. mongolica are the dominant species in Group IV, and A. nephrolepis is the major dominant species in all layers. The species diversity of the A. nephrolepis forests in Mt. Doota and Mt. Cheongok is lower than other A. nephrolepis forests in Mt. Seorak, Maruguem, and Mt. Odae. It is necessary to establish conservation measures and to continuously monitor the A. nephrolepis forests in Mt. Doota and Mt. Cheongokis due to the harsh environment and the competition that may occur between A. nephrolepis and deciduous trees such as Q. mongolica in the future.

The genetic differentiation and characteristics of two oyster populations (Crassostrea gigas) in Korea were assessed based on the restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) analysis and the restriction patterns of subcloned mtDNA. The restriction fragments of twenty individuals in West Sea revealed an identical pattern, determined by 8 restriction enzymes. On the other hand, two haplotypes having variation at the HindIII site were shown in the specimens from South Sea; minor haplotypes (4 of 20) were similar to the results obtained from individuals in West Sea while major haplotypes were different from those in West Sea. It was suggested that oysters (C. gigas) of West Sea might have been introduced to South Sea. Each mitochondrial DNA from two oyster populations in Korea and from one in Japan was divided to three parts and subcloned into pUC19 to use in genetic studies effectively. Restriction map was constructed based on the cleavage pattern by multiple restriction enzymes.

The topology of the enzyme has been investigated by biochemical studies including chemical labeling and cross linking. Thirteen subunits(polypeptides) of the cytochrome-c-oxidase have localistic characteristics of existing in the matrix side or cytoplasmic side in the mitochondria. In order to observe the distribution of the enzyme subunit on the mitochondria membrane, immunogold-labeling methods were employed. Antibody was obtained from the serum of immunized rabbit with enzyme subunit antigen which was obtained from cytochrome-c-oxidase of the beef heart muscle mitochondria. Beef heart muscle tissue as a tissue antigen was stained with immunized rabbit IgG and protein A gold complex. Electron microscopy has identified the existance of cytochrome-c-oxidase subunit $Mt_I,\;Mt_{II}\;and\;Mt_{III}$ on the membrane of cristae and outer chamber of mitochondria and the subunit $C_{IV}$ on the membrane of cristae and matrix of mitochondria. Particularly, the subunit $C_{IV}$ was also observed to exist in the sarcoplasm of muscle tissue.

The production of the sharp-toothed eel by commercial catch off waters of Korea is annually declined after 1978. This study was carried out to obtain the stock management of the sharp-toothed eel using the PCR-aided RFLP method. The mtDNA COI gene was amplified using species-specific primers and PCR product was observed to 700 bp. Amplified DNA fragments were treated with six kinds of restriction enzymes (BaeHI, EcoRI, PstI, Ksp22, HinfI and HaeIII). The treatment of HaeIII showed a distinct PCR product between Yeosu/Jinhae/Jeju/Goseoung and Jangheung/Haenam populations that were observed from 300 to 400 bp in reference to 100 bp molecular marker. However, DNA fragment within populations had an identical pattern. The phylogenetic homology is 82% between two populations inferred from RFLP PCR product pattern using NTsysPC ver. 2.1. The use of HaeIII plays an important role in discriminating populations. It is thought that adults after over-wintering in the southern part of Jeju migrate to the Yeosu, Jinhae and Goseoung regions to spawn instead of to southwestern waters. Individuals within populations showed a relatively active genetic mixing and migration regardless of geography. However, the genetic ancestor of Jangheung and Haenam populations is appeared to be more adjacent to China or Japan than Jeju.

한우의 mt DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit I, II, 및 III complex지역의 유전적 다형현상을 제한효소를 이용하여 검출하였다. PCR primer 6종에 대하여 20가지 제한효소를 처리하였으며, Pst I, Pvu II, Rsa I, Eco RI, Bgl II, and Msp I 제한효소를 사용하여 유전적 변이를 검출하였다. 검출된 변이체와 한우의 성장과의 관련성을 조사한 결과 cytochrome oxidase subunit III complex 지역의 유전염기서열을 근거로 제작한 primer Mt9 좌위에서 제한효소 PvuII를 이용한 절단형과 체중형질 인 WT15(P<0.05) 및 WT18(P<0.01)에서 고도의 유의성이 관찰되었다. 아울러 , Mt9-Pvu II(P=0.07), Mt6-Bgl II(P=0.05), and Mt8-Rsa I(P=0.05) 좌위 또한 WT9, WTl5, and WT15에서 각각 통계적 유의성이 관찰되었다. 따라서 본 결과는 cytochrome oxidase subunit III complex segments가 candidate gene으로서 기초적 유전정 보 제공은 물론 유전적 개량을 위해 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Twenty three specimens of Discomycetes were collected at Gwangneung, Mt. chiri, Mt. Halla and Mt. Odae from June, 1986 to October, 1987. These Discomycetes were identified and classified into 2 orders, 5 families, 10 genera and 10 species. Among them, Pachyella clypeata(Schw.) Le Gal, Microstoma floccosa(Schw.) Raitviir and Microglossum viride(Pers. ex Fr.) Gill. were newly recorded in Korea. These species were described and their Korean names were designated.
