To determine as optimal sowing time of forage rape in spring time in southern areas of Korea, forage rape cv. Velox, the highest yielding variety among introduced varieties of forage rape, was grown under five different sowing times. Yield components such as plant length, number of branches and number of leaves etc. were higher at the sowing time of Mar. 15 and Mar. 25. The plants sown at Mar. 15 and Mar. 25 also showed highest fresh and dry matter yield. When plants were grown under later sowing time, they showed higher values in content of crude protein and lower values in contents of crude fiber such as Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), cellulose and lignin. There was no relationship between variation of In Vitro Dry matter Digestibility (IVDMD) and sowing time. The plants sown at Mar. 15 and Mar. 25 showed highest digestible dry matter yields.

KF 116 was TMV resistant tobacco plant and KB 301 was PVY resistant plant transformed with TMV CP gene and PVY CP gene, respectively. These resistant plants were cross-fertilized and the 4 lines of the TMV-PVY resistant plants were selected from F1 hybrid plants. The rate of PVY-resistant plant in these hybrids was 100 percent and that of TMV-resistant plants including delay type was 90-98 percent at 4 weeks after virus inoculation. It was confirmed that the TMV and PVY CP genes were integrated into the genome of hybrid plants by genomic PCR, and Southern blot hybridization. The genome of F1 hybrid plants had one copy and 4 copies of PVY-CP gene and TMV-CP gene, respectively, and CaMV 35S promoters were not methylated, regardless of the difference symptom development to TMV.

The genomes of different allexiviruses were isolated and cloned from virus-infected garlic plants (Allium sativum), which were collected from farm fields in the southern provinces in Korea. The partial nucleotide sequences of the genomes from different allexiviruses were clearly identified in the virus-infected garlic plants. The cloned partial genomes of viruses in garlic plants showed a greater than 90% homology to previously identified allexiviruses and classified into species of GarV-A, -B, -C, -D, -E, and -X, demonstrating that species of allexivirus found in the other countries in the world are also widely distributed in the garlic plants in Korea.

To determine the optimum planting density in Alisma plantago in the southern areas of Korea, Alisma plantago local cultivar was grown under different planting density. The plant height, number of stems and diameter of root were 30cm, 12 and 3.4mm respectively on the planting density, row 20cm $\times$ intrarow 35cm. The fresh yield of root and dry yield of root were 261.2Kg110a, 211.5Kg/10a respectively on the planting density, row 20cm x intrarow 35cm. Therefore, the proper planting density for high yield bumper crop of Alisma plantago for exporting to Japan is planting density with row 20cm $\times$ intrarow 35cm.

A double - stranded cDNA fragment (436bp) encoding coat protein of tobacco mosaic virus(TMV) was derived from the total 480nucleotides gene after reverse transcription of TMV RNA, and subclorled into a plant expression vector pBl 121, resulting in pBL 430. The plasmid DNA containing this chimeric gene was moved from E. cofi to Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain A28l, and was introduced in시 the tobacco plant by the Agrobocterium Ti - mediated transformtion system. The transformants were selected on a selection media containing kanamycin. The shoots add roots could be differentiated from the explants and whole plants were obtained. From Southern blot hybridization analysis, DNA extracted from transformants, it could be conformed that the chimeric gene fragment was inserted into the genomic DNA of tobacco plant.

Chrysanthemum indicum (Asteraceae) is a perennial plant belonging to the genus Chrysanthemum. The basic chromosome number of Chrysanthemum sensu stricto is x = 9, and it consists of a series of polyploids ranging from diploid to decaploid. However, C. indicum, which occurs in Korea, is known to consist of only tetraploids, except for two diploid populations that are sympatric with C. zawadskii and C. boreale. During the collection of plant materials as part of a study to ascertain the diversity of Chrysanthemum in Korea, we found new diploid populations (2n = 18) of C. indicum in the southern region of Korea and describe them here in detail.

This study was conducted to obtain the transformed birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) plants with BcHSP17.6 gene using Agrobacterium turnefaciens LBA4404 and we confirmed transformed gene from the regenerated birdsfoot trefoil plants. The expression vector, pBKH4 vector, harboring BcHSP17.6 gene was used for production of transgenic birdsfoot trefoil plants. The callus of birdsfoot trefoil was cocultivated with Agrobacteriurn turnefaciens and transformed calli were selected on kanamycin-containing SH-kc medium to regenerate into plants. The transformed birdsfoot trefoil plants were produced 4 momths after cultivation on BOi2Y medium. The transgenic birdsfoot trefoil plants were analyzed by isolation of genomic DNA and genomic Southern hybridization using a -32P labelled BcHSPl7.6 fragments. (Key words : Birdsfoot trefoil, Transgenic plant. BcHSP17.6 gene, Callus induction, Plant regeneration)

Plant functional traits have been shown to be useful to understand how and why ecosystems and their components vary across environmental heterogeneity or gradients. This study investigated how plant functional (leaf) traits vary according to an elevation-associated environmental gradient. Environmental gradients (mean annual temperature and precipitation) were quantified, and leaf traits (leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf nitrogen, leaf phosphorus, leaf carbon, and leaf C/N ratio) of the understory woody plant species Acer pseudosieboldianum were examined across an elevational gradient ranging from 600 to 1200 m in a Baegunsan Mountain in Gwangyang-si, Jeollanam-do, South Korea. The results showed that mean annual temperature and precipitation decreased and increased along with elevation, respectively. Leaf area of the plant species decreased slightly with increasing elevation, while specific leaf area did not differ significantly. Leaf nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon concentrations) were higher at high elevations, but leaf C/N ratio decreased with elevation.

Background: Many studies about climate-related range shift of plants have focused on understanding the relationship between climatic factors and plant distributions. However, consideration of adaptation factors, such as dispersal and plant physiological processes, is necessary for a more accurate prediction. This study predicted the future distribution of marlberry (Ardisia japonica), a warm-adapted evergreen broadleaved shrub, under climate change in relation to the dispersal ability that is determined by elapsed time for the first seed production. Results: We introduced climate change data under four representative concentration pathway (RCP 2.6, 4.5, 6.0, and 8.5) scenarios from five different global circulation models (GCMs) to simulate the future distributions (2041~2060) of marlberry. Using these 20 different climate data, ensemble forecasts were produced by averaging the future distributions of marlberry in order to minimize the model uncertainties. Then, a dispersal-limited function was applied to the ensemble forecast in order to exam the impact of dispersal capacity on future marlberry distributions. In the dispersal-limited function, elapsed time for the first seed production and possible dispersal distances define the dispersal capacity. The results showed that the current suitable habitats of marlberry expanded toward central coast and southern inland area from the current southern and mid-eastern coast area in Korea. However, given the dispersal-limited function, this experiment showed lower expansions to the central coast area and southern inland area. Conclusions: This study well explains the importance of dispersal capacity in the prediction of future marlberry distribution and can be used as basic information in understanding the climate change effects on the future distributions of Ardisia japonica.
