The interspecific hybrid of Salix caprea and Salix gracilistyla has never been identified or studied in Korea. Accordingly, this study investigated the flower morphological characteristics of the interspecific hybrid between S. caprea and S. gracilistyla and compared the interspecific hybrid with S. caprea and S. gracilistyla, respectively. The female flowers were investigated for 12 characteristics and the male flowers were investigated for nine. For the female flowers, those of the hybrids were larger than those of S. caprea and S. gracilistyla in terms of catkin length (CL), bract length (BL), and bract width (BW). The hybrids are intermediates between S. caprea and S. gracilistyla in terms of ovary length, width, and stipitate length as well as gland length (GL). For the male flowers, those of the hybrids were bigger than those of S. caprea and S. gracilistyla in terms of CL, BL, and BW. The hybrids are intermediates between S. caprea and S. gracilistyla in terms of catkin width and stamen length (SL). A principal component analysis (PCA) of the female data showed that the first principal component (PC) explained 57.5% of the total variation. The first PC highly correlated the ovary stipitate and pistil style lengths. The analysis was divided into three groups of S. caprea, S. gracilistyla, and the hybrid by the first PC. The results of a PCA of the male data showed that the first PC explained 35.7% of the total variation. The first PC highly correlated with the adelphous SL and was divided into three groups of S. caprea, S. gracilistyla, and the hybrid. The results of the discriminant analysis showed that S. caprea, S. gracilistyla, and the hybrid were distinguishable by flower morphological characteristics. Therefore, the hybrid was distinctly separated from S. caprea and S. gracilistyla by flower characteristics.

Molecular markers are useful to confirm the hybridity of F1 plant derived from cross of two homozygous parents with similar morphological traits. RAPD markers were used to test F1 hybrid plant obtained from cross of two homozygous soybean (Glycine max) parents. Fl plant for cross I was made from the mating of Hobbit87 (female) and L63-1889 (male) and Fl plant for cross II was obtained from the mating of H1053 (female) and L63-1889 (male). Selfing plant per each cross was also obtained. Among 20 Operon primers used, OPA04 and OPA09 show polymorphism between cross I and II parent. Band in size 1Kb of OPA04 and 2.1Kb of OPA09 primer was polymorphic band. This fragment identified Fl hybrid plant and selfing plant in cross I and II. Female parent Hobbit87 in cross I and H1053 in cross II has no this fragment (recessive allele). However, male parent L63-1889 and Fl hybrid plant in cross I and II has this size of polymorphic band (dominant allele). This indicated that Fl hybrid and selfing plants were detected by RAPD marker before phenotypic marker would be used to identify Fl hybridity. Amplification products of selfing plant for cross I and II were completely same to the those of female parent. When mature, flower color of Fl hybrid plant in cross I and II was purple and flower color of selfing plant in cross I and II was white. Purple flower is dominant trait. Fl hybridity was successfully detected at very early growth stage using RAPD marker. Therefore, RAPD marker can be used broadly to confirm Fl hybridity in many crops.

겨울철 재배 시 중·소과종 수박의 안정적 생산을 위한 적정 줄기유인 수와 착과 위치를 구명하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 줄기유인 수를 위한 시험은 아들줄기를 각각 2, 3, 4줄기로 달리하여 유인하였다. 줄기유인 수에 따른 초장, 경경, 마디수 등 생육특성은 3, 4줄기보다 2줄기에서 높은 결과를 보였다. 그러나 과중, 과고, 과폭 등 과실특성은 4줄기에서 높게 나타났다. 당도와 착과율은 줄기유인 수에 따라 유의한 차이가 없었다. 착과 위치를 위한 시험의 착과 위치는 2, 3, 4번째 암꽃으로 달리하였다. 착과 위치에 따른 암꽃의 평균 착과마디는 각각 11.5, 15.8, 23.1마디였다. 착과 위치가 높아질수록 과중이 증가하여 2번째 암꽃에 비해 4번째 암꽃이 0.8kg 무거웠다. 그러나 당도는 착과 위치가 증가할수록 감소하여, 2번째 암꽃이 4번째 암꽃에 비해 1.3°Bx 높았다. 생육과 과실 특성을 종합적으로 고려하였을 때, 겨울철 중·소과종 수박의 줄기유인 수는 3줄기, 착과 위치는 3번째 암꽃이 고품질의 수박의 생산을 위해 적합할 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 추후에 재식거리, 중·소과종 품종의 다착과 등 수박 재배 농가의 소득 안정을 위한 다양한 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the hypotensive properties of the extract of Chinese balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorum)'s root. In the studies for calcium channel-blocking using Xenopus oocytes, the ethanol-extract ($26.2{\pm}5.2%$) showed higher activity than water-extract. Twenty female rats were fed 25, 35, and 45 mg/kg BW/day of the ethanol-extract for 14 days to observe the changes in blood pressures and heart pulses. Ethanol-extract decreased the systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressures of the rats. Especially, the rats fed with 45 mg/kg BW/day of the ethanol-extract showed significant decreases in the blood pressures. These results suggested that a decrease in blood pressures was due to the extension of a blood vessel with calcium channel-blocking by ethanol-extract of Chinese balloon flower. Forty %-ethanol showed the highest efficiency for ethanol-extraction of Chinese balloon flower.

The purpose of this study was to investigate misconceptions regarding the structure of flowers and the function of the course based on the 'Flower' section of 5th grade elementary school science courses. It also sought to investigate how misconceptions are changed before and after the application of a Driver learning model, and finally analysing any differences in the correction of misconceptions. A questionnaire was created for 199 5th grade elementary school pupils. The major results before and after using an applied Driver learning mode teaching plan are as follows: In the response for questions, 13.6% and 14.5% of misconceptions were corrected for male and female pupils, respectively. For rural and urban pupils, 14.8% and 11.2% of misconceptions were corrected, respectively. In the comparison of male and female pupils according to the reasons for selection of responses before and after using an applied Driver learning model teaching plan, 27.8% of male and 30.0% of female pupils scientific conceptions showed improvement. For rural and urban schools, 26.6% and 32.2% of scientific conceptions were improved, respectively. Data from this study may help teachers to reconsider their own conceptions regarding the study of the flower as it is presently conducted in elementary school.

A study was designed to investigate the pattern of sexual dimorphism in a plantation of Garcinia kola. Twenty trees were randomly selected for the study and have been observed to flower regularly. A total of 100 inflorescence were randomly collected from the crown of each tree and 500 flowers randomly assessed within the period of four (4) flowering seasons. Floral sex assessment was done visually and with a hand magnifying lens; floral morphometric measurements (i.e. pedicel and perianth length and breadth), inflorescence length, and breadth) was taken using a veneer caliper; number of flowers per inflorescence and inflorescence per twig was counted; while, data analysis was conducted on excel using analysis of variance and pairwise t-test comparison. Four floral sexes were identified in the G. kola plantation studied which were unisexual male flowers, unisexual female flowers, cosexual unisexual male flowers, and cosexual hermaphrodite flowers. Three tree sexes were identified viz: inconstant male, invariant female, and cosexual trees. The plantation was significantly sexually dimorphic in floral sex and phenotypic traits (i.e. pedicel and perianth size), and as well as sexually dimorphic in tree sex and reproductive phenotypic traits (i.e. inflorescence size, number of inflorescences per twig, and number of flower bud per inflorescence). The sexual system of the plantation was therefore trioecious with features suggestive of evolving dioecy through the gynodioecious pathway.

Jatropha curcas is an oil bearing species with multiple uses and considerable economic potential as a biofuel plant. Plant flowering and breeding characteristics are important for us to understand the reproduction of plant populations. The present study describes the floral biology and flowering phenology of J. curcas which is a prerequisite for hybridization program for genetic improvement through conventional breeding. The plant produces flowers in dichasial inflorescences. Normally, the flowers are unisexual, and male and female flowers are produced in the same inflorescence. Only a few male flowers are produced in an inflorescence, and fruits are produced only through pollination between different flowers from the same or different plants. This study includes a description of the inflorescence, flower anatomy of both male and female flowers, female : male ratio, pollen : ovule ratio, flowering phenology, pollen viability, stigma receptivity, comparison of selfing methods and a comparison of geitonogamy and xenogamy. This information may be useful in J. curcas breeding programmes.
