This study was carried out to investigate the anatomical characteristics, the radial and axial variation of the cell dimension and bulk density for four bamboo species used as the major material of bamboo products in Korea; Phyllostachys(P.bambusoides, P.edulis, P.nigra var.henonis, and Pnigra). The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1) In the outer part of culm, the mophological difference of cell diameter and distribution were not acknowledged. However, gum-like substance was occurred In the epidermis, hypodermis, cortex and metaxylem vessel of P.nigra, while it was occured only in the metaxylem vessel of P.edulis. 2) The protoxylem vessel in the central zone of culm-wall could be in the two types; the first type consisted of 4-5 small cell pieces occurred in P.edulis and P.nigra var. henonis, the second type of 1-2 large cell pieces in P.bambusoides and P.nigra. And transition of cell diameter from the vascular bundle sheath to the ground tissue was gradually enlarged in P.nigra and P.edulis but abruptly in P.bambusoides and P.nigra var. henonis. 3) Thin-wall tyloses were well developed in the outer and central zone of culm-wall in four species. 4) Compared with the central part of culm-wall, the number of parenchyma cells and the amount of the vascular bundle sheaths per unit area were a few in the inner part. The inner part nearest to the pith cavity was consisted of thick-well parenchyma cell. 5) The dimensional variations of metaxylem vessel and parenchyma cell in the radial direction were decreased from the inner part to the epidermis in all species observed. 6) The fiber length was the maximum in the central zone and its diameter was increased from the inner part to the outer part. In the axial variation. fiber length was slightly increased from the base and then decresed slowly toward the top, and its diameter was reverse. 7) The axial variation of the bulk density was continuously increased from the base toward the top and its radial variation was rapidly increased from the inner part to the epidermis.

Fiber morphology and basic characteristics of Legi bamboos (Gigantochloa atter) growing on Yogyakarta were studied considering their age and height positions in the culms. Culms of 4, 16, and 40 months were harvested, and their total lengths were measured. The length, diameter, and wall thickness of each internode were measured. All the sample culms were divided into three different parts along the height, and their fiber dimension and physical properties were observed. The data obtained were analyzed by analysis of variance. The results showed that the culms had a diameter of 5.8 to 10.8 cm. The lowest internodes always showed the shortest length and the thickest wall. The culms had an average fiber length of 2.41 mm and Runkel ratio of 0.61. Fiber length was affected by the height, while fiber diameter, lumen diameter, and fiber wall thickness were affected significantly by the age of the culms. The culms had high green moisture content (GMC) of 157.89%, and basic density (BD) of $456.67kg.m^{-3}$, a total longitudinal shrinkage of 0.35%, and relatively low R/T shrinkage ratio. The interactions between age and height were affected GMC and BD.

Aromatic rice has become popular owing to its aroma. Growing demand for aromatic rice has spurred interest in the development of domestic cultivars that offer similar combinations of grain attributes such as texture, cooking characteristics, aroma, and taste. In this study, the most important agronomic attributes and aroma of 26 cultivars from Afghanistan, Iran, and Uzbekistan, and controls from Japan, Thailand, and India were characterized. Also $F_2$ populations derived from the cross between(Jasmine 85 aromatic$\times$Nipponbare non-aromatic) and(Jasmine 85$\times$Basmati 370 aromatic) were obtained. Tasting individual grains, cooking test, 1.7% KOH sensory test, and molecular marker analysis have been applied to distinguish between aromatic and non-aromatic rice. Diversity for some traits of agronomic importance, such as plant height was detected among countries, e.g. Afghan cultivars classified as tall, and Iranian and Uzbek intermediate and short, respectively. Differentiations of panicle, grain, leaf, basal internode, and culm dimension among rice cultivars, indicating the source of rice diversity in Central Asia. According to the results, 6 of 10, 2 of 7, and 0 of 6 of Afghan, Iranian, and Uzbek rice cultivars were scored as aromatic, respectively. Therefore, Afghan cultivars are a good source of aromatic rice germplasm for Central Asia. The expression between aromatic and non-aromatic, and aromatic and aromatic combinations has been evaluated. The observed segregation ratio of these crosses in the $F_2$ populations was tested by $x^2$ analysis against the expected ratio for a single gene. A segregation ratio of 3:1 between non-aromatic and aromatic combination has been detected, while segregation has not been detected between the aromatic and aromatic combinations. Also, parallel results were obtained from the tested aromatic rice cultivars. Thus, our results suggest that a single recessive gene controls aroma in all aromatic rice cultivars.

왕대속 대나무림의 물질생산 및 무기영양물 분배를 파악하가 위하여 전라남도 순천시에 위치하고 있는 죽순대, 왕대, 솜대 등 왕대속 3개 종의 임분을 대상으로 임분별 $10m{\times}10m$ 조사구 5개씩을 설치한 후 임분구조 및 죽간(竹稈), 가지, 잎, 지하경(地下莖), 뿌리 등 지하부를 포함한 대나무 전체의 부위별 현존량, 순생산량, 생산능률, 무기영양물 분배 등을 조사분석하였다. 죽간(竹稈)의 평균흉고직경, 죽고(竹高), 흉고단 면적은 죽순대, 솜대, 왕대 임분의 순으로 컸다. 흉고직경 또는 흉고직경과 죽고를 독립변수로 하는 3개 유형의 현존량 대수회귀식을 임분별, 부위별로 유도 검정한 결과 적합도와 실용성을 고려할 때 흉고직경을 독립변수로 하는 대수회귀식(logWt=A+BlogD)이 효과적이었다. 직선 대수회귀식이 되는 흉고직경 또는 흉고직경과 수고($D^2H$)를 독립변수로 하는 2개 유형의 3개 종별 현존량 대수회귀식의 기울기와 절편간의 차이 유무를 검정한 결과 2개 유형 모두 절편간에 유의적인 차이를 보임으로써 왕대속 3개 종의 일괄추정식은 오차가 클 것으로 판단되었다. 지하부를 포함한 임분 전체의 현존량(現存量)은 죽순대 103.621t/ha, 솜대 86.447t/ha, 왕대 36.767t/ha의 순으로 많았으며 비교적 큰 차이를 보였다. 동화기관인 잎의 현존량 구성비는 6.3-7.8%이었으며, 지상부와 지하부의 현존량 비는 1.87-2.26이었다. 지하부를 포함한 임분 전체의 순생산량(純生産量)은 죽순대 6.115t/ha/yr, 솜대 5.609t/ha/yr, 왕대 3252t/ha/yr의 순으로 많았다. 순동화율(純同化率)은 죽순대 임분 2.979, 솜대 임분 2.752, 왕대 임분 2.187의 순으로 높았으며, 현존량축적율(現存量蓄積率)은 2.679-5.358의 범위를 보였다. 부위별 무기영양물 농도는 3개 종 모 두 N, P, Mg는 잎, 지하부, 죽간(竹稈)과 가지의 순으로 높았으며, Ca는 잎, 죽간과 가지, 지하부의 순이었다. 지하부를 포함한 대나무 전체의 무기영양물 함량은 N, K, Ca와 Mg, P의 순으로 많았다. 3개 종의 임분 현존량에 있어서 차이를 보이는 것은 죽간밀도(竹稈密度)는 큰 차이가 없었으나 죽간(죽稈)의 크기가 다르며, 동화기관인 잎의 현존량, 순동화율 비교적 장기간의 축적기관인 죽간 생산능률 등에서 차이가 있기 때문이었다.
