The purpose of this study was to analyze the interspecific relationships of Chenopodium album and its related taxa collected in Korea. The 18S-26S ribosomal DNA (45S rDNA) loci were detected directly on mitotic chromosomes by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and the chromosome numbers were examined using aceto-orcein methods. The chromosomal numbers of Chenopodium album var. album and C. album var. centrorubrum were 2n = 6x = 54, whereas for C. album var. stenophyllum, this number was 2n = 4x = 36. The basic chromosome number was x = 9. The biotin labeled 18S-26S rDNA probe exhibited eight yellow fluorescent signals on the metaphase chromosome of C. album var. album and var. centrorubrum respectively, while two yellow signals of C. album var. stenophyllum were noted. All of the signals on the chromosomes were located at the terminal regions. The chromosome number and FISH findings suggest that C. album var. centrorubrum is merged into var. album and that it is clearly distinguished from C. album var. stenophyllum.

This study summarizes the taxonomic notes and distribution of 13 taxa of the genus Scenedesmus (Chlorophyceae) collected from several swamps, reservoirs, and rivers throughout South Korea from 2012 to 2014. In this study, light microscopy images of all 13 taxa are presented and briefly discussed with regard to their taxonomy, distribution, and ecology and environmental factors of occurrence sites. All 3 subgenera (subgenus Scenedesmus 1 taxon; subgenus Acutodesmus 2 taxa; subgenus Desmodesmus 10 taxa) are newly described in Korean freshwater algal flora: S. linearis, S. acuminatus var. elongatus, S. acuminatus var. tetradesmoides, S. carinatus, S. denticulatus var. disciformis, S. gutwinskii var. heterospina, S. helveticus f. bicaudatus, S. lefevrei, S. oahuensis var. clathratus f. longiclathratus, S. oahuensis var. clathratus, S. pannonicus, S. polydenticulatus, and S. tenuispina.

This study was executed to examine helical structure and other feature, of Taxus cuspidata S. et Z. and Larix gmelinii var. principis-ruprechtii Pilger through photomicroscopic and scanning electron microscopic observation, and the obtained result, were summarized as follows: 1. Tracheid transition from springwood to summerwood was abrupt, mel slightly gradual in Taxus cuspidata S. et Z. and summerwood width of Larix gmelinii var. principis-ruprechtii Pilger was wider than that of Taxus cuspidata S. et Z. 2. Normal vertical and horizontal resin canals and surrounding thick epithelial cells were present in Larix gmelinii var. principis-ruprechtii Pilger but not present in Taxus cuspidata S. et Z. 3. Instead of helical thickening, helical chicks were observed only in summerwood trachieds of Larix gmelinii var. principis-ruprechtii Pilger. However, helical thickenings forming S, Z., and horizontal helix perpendicular to long axis of tracheid were observed in springood and summerwood tracheids of Taxus cuspidata S. et Z. and these helical thickenings were considered as analogous to the innermost layer of secondary wall. 4. Uniseriate and fusiform rays were appeared on tangential surface of Larix gmelinii var. principis-ruprechtii Pilger but oly uniserate ray was observed on tangential surface ot Taxus cuspidata S. et Z. The fusiform rays of Larix gmelinii var. principis-ruprechtii Pilger usually contained one horizontal resin canal bot occasionally two horizontal resin canals were contained in a fusiform ray. 5. Trabeculae and crassulae were observed in the tracheids of Larix gmelimii var. principis-ruprechtii Pilger but not observed in the tracheids of Taxus cuspidata S. et Z.

Taxonomical evaluation of P. nuntia var. vallata and P. nuntia var. brevicirris Grube was checked. On the basis of the number of paragnaths and its arrangement pattern it is suggested that these two varieties are no longer valid, and they are synonym of Perinereis nuntia(Savigny, 1818).

A new variety of Elsholtzia splendens (Lamiaceae) was found by the roadside of a mountain base at Jungmun-dong, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do. The new taxon is termed Elsholtzia splendens var. fasciflora N.S. Lee, M.S. Chung & C.S. Lee, var. nov. The Korean name 'Da-bal-kkot-hyang-yu' was given. The morphological characters and illustrations of the species based on the holotype are provided together with a photograph of the habitat. It is distinctly distinguished from Elsholtzia splendens var. splendens by a few characteristics: leaves that area 2-4 cm long, leaves beneath the inflorescence, typically mostly 4; and inflorescence mosyly 2-4, fascicled, involucres oval.

The phytosociological study was carried out to investigate the Corylopsis gotoana var. coreana community structural characteristics and soil environment of Mt. Baegun in Pochen. The vegetation data of total 9 relev$\acute{e}$s were analyzed by the Z$\ddot{u}$rich-Montpellier school's method. Three communities of Mt. Baegun were recognized : Corylopsis gotoana var. coreana - Quercus mongolica community, Corylopsis gotoana var. coreana - Carpinus laxiflora community, Corylopsis gotoana var. coreana typical community. The reanalysis to Corylopsis gotoana var. coreana community structural characteristics in south area classified 8 communities by literature. PCA analysis of Corylopsis gotoana var. coreana community distributed in the middle and southern area showed that the Corylopsis gotoana var. coreana community of the Mt. Jiri in the southern area was highly correlated with the one of Mt. Baegun in the middle area.

Dissolution and degradation of the parasporal crystal proteins produced from B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki, B. thuringiensis var. dendrolimus and B. thuringiensis var. aizawai were investigated. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis showed that the crystals contained major protein with molecular weight of approximately 134 kDa for B. thuringiensis var. aizawai 143 kDa for B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki and 149 kDa for B. thuringiensis var. dendrolimus, respectively. Crystals of three other strains were incubated alkali solutions at various pH or gut juice of Silkwarm Bombyx mori, Fall webworm Hyphantria cunea, and Common Cabbage worm Pieris rapae. When crystals of these strains were solubilized by alkali solutions, no major differences among strains B. thuringiensis could be detected. Among the strains studied, crystal protins (130-66 kDa) consist of protease resistant polypeptides in the 45-66 kDa size range when treated with gut juice of three insect species.

The delimitation and systematic relationships of the C. foetida complex and related species were evaluated by numerical methods, including principal components analysis and cluster analysis of major morphological characters. Results of these analyses strongly support recognition of three varieties in C. foetida; these include C. foetida var. foetida, C. foetida var. micrantha, and C. foetida var. velutita. The results also indicated that C. brachycarpa, C. frigida, C. heracleifolia, and C. yunnanensis are distinct species, and C. heracleifolia comprises C. heracleifolia var. heracleifolia and C heracleifolia var. bifida. Cimicifuga mairei and C. foetida var. foliolosa, however, appeared to be morphologically indistinguishable from C. foetida var. velutina. In addition, C. foetida var. longibracteata and C. foetida var. bifula are conspecific with C. frigida.rigida.

Cytological observations in the seven varieties of Juniperus chinensis L. showed three varieties (J. chinensis var. procumbens, J. chinensis var. kaizuka and J. chinensi.s var. aureo-variegata) were tetraploid with chromosome number, 2n=44, and rest of four varieties (J. chinensis var. horizontalis, J. chinensis var. sargentii, J. chinensis var. gtobosa and J. chinensis var. aureo-globosa) to be diploid, 2n=22. Chromosome configuration and behavior in the meiosis of P.M.C. of three tetraploids appeared to be slightly irregular. These results suggest that triploid tree can be artificially produced with these specific clones.
