Antheraea mylitta Drury is a commercial silk producing forest insect in India and Xanthopimpla pedator Fabricius is its larval-pupal endoparasitoid, which causes pupal mortality that affects seed production. Effects of host plants, rearing season and their interactions on parasitic behaviour of X. pedator were studied here, as influence of these factors on biological success of X. pedator is not known. Seven forest tree species were tested as food plants for A. mylitta, and rate of pupal parasitization in both the rearing seasons were recorded and analysed. Results showed that rearing season and host plants significantly affected the rate of pupal parasitization in both the sexes. Pupal mortality was found significantly higher (14.52%) in second rearing season than the first (2.89%). Likewise, host plants and rearing seasons significantly affected length, diameter, and shell thickness of cocoons in both sexes. Out of all infested pupae, 85.59% were found male, which indicated that X. pedator chooses male spinning larva of A. mylitta for oviposition, but we could not answer satisfactorily the why and how aspect of this sex specific parasitic behaviour of X. pedator. Multiple regression analysis indicated that length and shell thickness of male cocoons are potential predictors for pupal parasitization rate of X. pedator. Based on highest cocoon productivity and lowest pupal mortality, Terminalia alata, T. tomentosa, and T. arjuna were found to be the most suitable host plants for forest based commercial rearing of A. mylitta in tropical forest areas of Uttarakhand state, where it has never been reared earlier. Sex and season specific interaction of X. pedator with its larval-pupal host, A. mylitta is a novel entomological study to find out explanations for some of the unresolved research questions on parasitic behaviour of X. predator that opens a new area for specialised study on male specific parasitization in Ichneumonidae.

A modified $\delta$-endotoxin gene of Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. tenebrionis (B.t.t.), encoding a coleoptera-specific toxin, was utilized to transform citrus plants, Citrus reticulata Blanco 'Ponkan' mandarian. By co-culturing the nucelli with Agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring the modified gene in the binary vector pBinAR-Btt, the chimeric toxin gene was transferred into citrus plants. The transgenic plants were selected on modified Murashige and Skoog medium containing kanamycin. Hybridization experiments demonstrated that the transgenic plants contained and expressed the toxin protein gene.

Naturalization rate was 5.5% of all 439 taxa of vascular plants and urbanization index was 7.5% of all 321 taxa of naturalized plants. In particular, for rare plants, in and ex-situ conservation of genetic resources must surely be done, by preserving present natural habitats, discovering additional natural habitats and securing seeds. Moreover, ecosystem disturbing plants require long-term monitoring and consistent management, since not only do they disturb the ecosystem in competition with Korean native species, but damage humans, too.

채종주령에 따른 시호 종자의 발아특성을 조사하기 위하여 채종주를 삼도시호(三島柴胡) 1, 2, 3년생과 재래종 1, 2년생으로 하고 1995년에 채종한 종자로 발아와 종자 비중분포의 품종간 및 채종주령간 차이를 구명하고자 시험한 결과 다음과 같았다. 1. 채종주령별 발아율은 재래종은 1년생 42.3%, 2년생 44.0%로 대차 없는 경향이었다. 삼도시호(三島柴胡)의 경우 1년생 17.3%, 2, 3년생 40.3, 40.0%로 재래종에 비하여 다소 낮았으나 채종주령간 차이가 확연하였다. 2. 채종주령별 종자 비중은 삼도시호(三島柴胡)의 경우 2, 3년생이 높은 경향으로 1.00이상의 분포비율이 1년생 52%에 비하여 2, 3년생은 $83{\sim}84%$로 높았으나 재래종은 주령간에 큰 차이가 없었다. 3. 비중별 발아율은 대체로 비중이 클수록 높은 경향이었으나 품종 및 채종주령 에 따라 비중 $1.12{\sim}1.18$이상의 종자에서 다소 낮아지고 품종간에는 재래종에 비하여 비중이 더 큰 삼도시호 종자의 경우에도 발아율이 낮게 나타나 품종간 차이가 나타났다. 4. 채종주령별 채취종자의 비중에 따른 발아율은 재래종은 채종주령간에 큰 차이가 없었으나 삼도시호(三島柴胡)는 비중에 관계없이 1년생은 $5.0{\sim}17.5%$에 비하여 2, 3년생은 $22.5{\sim}55.0$로 높아 채종주령에 따른 발아의 차이는 종자 비중이외에 등숙기 동안 채종 주의 생육상태 혹은 기상환경 등의 차이에 의한 다른 요인의 영향을 받는 것으로 판단되었다. 5. 따라서 종자로 사용할 때는 재래종은 채종주령에 관계없이 비중 1.03으로 비중선하고 삼도시호(三島柴胡)는 주령 2년 이상인 주에서 채종하여 비중 1.03이상으로 비중선하여야 적당할 것으로 나타났다.

The characteristics of hydrologic design parameters for small hydro power(SHP) sites located in four major river systems have been studied. The model, which can predict flow duration characteristic of stream, was developed to analyze the variation of inflow. And another model to predict hydrologic performance for SHP plants is established. The results from hydrologic performance analysis for SHP sites located on five major river systems based on the models developed in this study show that the specific design flowrate and specific output of SHP site have large difference between the river systems. The load factor, however, have small difference compared with specific design flowrate and specific output for all river systems. Also, it was found that the models developed in this study can be used to predict the primary design specifications of SSHP plants effectively.

Frequent occurrence of off-type plants in a given cultivar has been a serious problem in both breeder's and farmer's fields. An experiment was designed to examine the differences in rate of occurrence of off-type plants among Tongil-type cultivars (high yielding cultivars derived from indica/japonica hybridization) from which the possible cause of higher occurrence of off-type plant in a specific cultivar was deduced. Among five Tongil-type cultivars examined for morphological variant in the field, only one cultivar, Dasanbyeo, had off-type plants. When analyzed with SSR markers, off-type plants showed different band patterns from original cultivar, having several extra bands in addition to cultivar-specific band, suggesting that off-type plants were originated from Dasanbyeo, rather than originated from mixing or mishandling of seed materials with other cultivars. The possible cause of off-type occurrence seems to be natural pollination with other cuItivars adjacent to the original cultivar during seed multiplication. This was supported from the observation that self-crossed progeny of the off type plants showed a wide range of variation of agronomic traits which could not be observed when there was a smaller introduction of genes to the fixed germplasm as happened in the case of cultivar mutation. Another evidence supported this idea that Dasanbyeo showed much of difference in floral organ and behavior to other cultivar to be subjected to higher out-crossing than other cultivars examined.
