Phylogenetic relationships were examined for 17 taxa of Lycoris by RAPD analysis. The length of the amplified DNA fragments ranged from 300 bp to 1,700 bp. 57 scorable RAPD markers were observed from PCR reactions with five random oligoprimers. The analysis by UPGMA sepatated the examined taxa of Lycoris into were clusters. First group was comprised of ten taxa of L. chinensis var. sinuolata, L. sanguinea var. koreana, L. uydoensis, L. flavescens, L. radiata var. pumila, L. radiata, L. squamigera, L. chejuensis, L. aurea and L. guangxiensis, second group of L. haywardii, L. sprengeri, L. rosea, L. straminea and L. houdyshii, third group of outgroup of Narcissus tazetta var. chinensis and Crinum asiaticum var. japonicum. From the viewpoint of cytological characters such as polyploidy and karyotype, the RAPD analysis was very useful to show the relationship among the intraspecific taxa of Lycoris.

Chromosome number, morphological variation and RAPD analysis were investigated to study on the speciation of Indigofera in Korea. Chromosome numbers of I. kirilowii (2n=16) and I. koreana (2n=32) are consistent with the previous reports. In this study tetraploid (2n=32) and hexaploid (2n=48) of I. grandiflora are newly observed. Indigofera grandiflora is distributed around Mt. Kaya area together with I. kirilowii and I. koreana. The former species has the larger sizes in plant height, leaves and flowers than the latter two and shows intermediate form between the two species in hairs on leaves and flowers which are one of the most important taxonomic characters in this group. In the RAPD analysis, I. grandiflora is similar to I. koreana than I. kirilowii but RAPD band patterns revealed difference between tetra- and hexaploid of the species. These results suggested that Korean endemic species of I. grandiflora (2n=16, 32, 48) might has multiple origin through polyploidization and/or hybridization between I. kirilowii (2n=16) and I. koreana (2n=32) around Mt. Kaya area where the latter two grow together.

by use of HCl-Giemsa technique and light microscope, dividing vegetative nuclei in hyphae of Fusarium species were observed and the results are summerized. The chromosome number of these fungi was ranged 4 to 8. Of the 20 strains, the highest haploid chromosome number is 8 in F. solani S Hongchun K4, F. moniliforme (from banana) and F. raphani (from radish). The lowest is 4 in F. sporotrichioides NRRL 3510 and F. equiseti KFCC 11843 IFO 30198. F. solani 7468 (from Sydney), F. solani 7475 (from Sydney), F. oxysporum(from tomato). F. roseum (from rice), F. sporotrichioides C Jngsun 1, F. equiseti C Kosung 1 and F. avenaceum 46039 are n=7. F. moniliforme (from rice) F. graminearum, F. proliferatum 6787 (from Syndey), F. proliferatum 7459 (from Synder) and F. anguioides ATCC 20351 are n=6. F. moniliforme NRRL 2284, F. poae NRRL 3287 and F. trincinctum NRRL 3299 are n=5. From these results, it may be concluded that the basic haploid chromosome number of the genus Fusarium is 4 and mat have been evolutionary variation of chromosome number through aneuploidy and polyploidy.

Chromosome numbers and karyotypes in flowering plants have been considered to be prominent features in taxonomic and evolutionary context. Despite the increasing numbers of cytological studies in Asteraceae, karyotype analysis of Cirsium Mill. and Carddus L. in Korean population have not been performed carefully. In this study, the chromosome numbers and karyotype analysis of all eight species of the genus Cirsium Mill. and one species of Carddus L. were analyzed. While the chromosome number in Carduus crispus L. was diploid (2n = 2x = 18 or 18+2Bs) with x = 9 as the base chromosome number, all seven species of Cirsium were diploid with x = 17 except for Cirsium lineare (Thunb.) Sch. Bip. (x = 14). The chromosome number in C. pendulum Fisch. ex DC. presented 2n = 2x = 34 from two populations and C. lineare exhibited 2n = 2x = 28 from one population. Aneuploidy was occasionally found in C. japonicum Fisch. ex DC. var. spinossinum Kitam. (2n = 2x = 34, 35, 36), C. rhinoceros (H. $L{\acute{e}}v.$ & Vaniot) Nakai (2n = 2x = 32, 34), C. setidens (Dunn) Nakai (2n = 2x = 30, 31, 32) and C. vlassovianum Fisch. ex DC. (2n = 2x = 31, 32). While Cirsium japonicum Fisch. ex DC. var. japonicum possessed several B-chromosomes (2n = 2x = 34, 35, 36), polyploidy was only encountered in Cirsium nipponicum (Maxim.) Makino. (2n = 4x = 68) from two populations in Ulleung Island. The present cytological data might be contributed to the taxonomic and evolutionary studies in the genus Cirsium.

The somatic chromosome of two taxa, Galium elegans Wall. ex Roxb(Sect. Cymogaliea Pobed) and Galium asperifolium Wall. ex Roxb(Sect. Leptogalium Lang), in Yunnan, China were investigated. The taxa were reported for the first time. The somatic chromosome numbers of G. elegans was 2n = 22(X = 11), diploid, from two regions, Mt. Canghsan and Hutiaoxia Valley. Those of G. asperifolium were found as 2n = 33, 44, 55(X = 11) with triploid, tetraploid, pentaploid. Most of G. elegans in the Yunnan were confirmed as diploid. The somatic chromosome number of G. asperifolium was found polyploidy, and the investigation revealed that triploid and tetraploid are living together as mixed population in the Mt. Canghsan.

The electrophoretic banding patterns of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD) in the two different chromosomal ploidy groups of Gyraulus were compared. The monomeric or dimeric banding patterns or allelic variations in a locus of PGD were observed in four diploid populations (Osan, Sohre, Kimpo and Kangwha) of G. convexiusculus occurring in Korea, whereas the isozyme banding patterns encoded by at least 3 different loci were shown in the tetraploid populations of G. (Torquis) groups collected from Michigan, the U.S.A. Of 3 different tetraploid groups, G. (T.) circumstriatus group showed 3 monomorphic isozyme banding patterns, and the other 2 populations showed some allelic variations. Such results provided good evidence to differentiate tetraploid subgenus Torquis group from the diploid Gyraulus populations.

The Results of colchicine and pretreatment time have shown that the cells of Coho Salmon(Oncorhynchus Kisutch) were effectively injected 6 hours prior to the harvest at a final concentration of 10$\mu\textrm{g}$/g body weight. The cell-density from 8,000 cells/㎣ (=8${\times}$106 ml) was found as ideal. The best effect of hypotonic solution in proportion to the cell is 20 : 1 and 50 minutes. The model number of diploid chromosome in this species was 2n=60. The karyotype analysis proved that the diploid complement consisted of 19 pairs of metacentric-, 4 pairs of submetacentric- and 7 paris of acrocentric-chromosomes. The diagrammatic representation proved that the diploid complement consisted of 7 pairs of metacentric-, 2 pairs of submetacentric- and 1 pair of acrocentric-chromosomes.

Allium is one of the largest genera, which has more than 700 species. PCR by URP (universal rice primer) primers was carried out to get phylogenetic information on 26 species, 62 accessions of subgenus Rhizirideum. The accessions were divided into seven groups at 0.76 similarity level. A. tuberosum (Chinese chives) and A. ramosum represented high similarity of 0.91. A. montanum, A. nutans, A. senescens, A. libani, A. odorum, A. austrosibiricum, and A. narcissiflorium grouped at 0.80 similarity. Some of the wild species, such as A. prostratum, A. polyrhizum, A. odorum, and A. mongolicum, showed different band patterns according to polyploidy, occurrence of B-chromosome, collection site, and origin.

Mouse T cells overexpressing the SRG3 protein displayed morphological changes; the cells were enlarged and their shapes were irregular compared to the normal parental cells. In addition, growth rate of the cells was dramatically reduced and their DNA contents were increased. The increased DNA contents were due to an increase in number of chromosomes in these cells. We have observed similar results in S. cerevisiae cells overex-pressing the yeast SWI3 protein. Yeast cells overexpressing SWI3 protein These results suggest that the SRG3/SWI3 protein plays an important role in cell growth and cell cycle progression.

This study was made on the taxa Chrysanthemum zawadskii complex that grow in South Korea on the basis of chromosomes, epidermis, pollens and gross morphology. I have found four types of chromosome numbers, 36, 45, 54, and 72 as a polyploidal series. Even though the gross morphology was quite similar almost the same gross morphology, chromosome number was different among the taxa. The taxa of 36 chromosomes present broad and fine lobed leaves which grow separately, broad leafed taxon in the mainland of Korea and the other's in Ullungdo Island which is isolated form the mainland in the East Sea. The taxa of 54 chromosomes are also present in the broad and in the fine lobed leaves. The fine lobed leave taxon grows in central to northern Korea and in the high altitude of mountains. Broad leafed taxon grows in central to southern Korea and comparatively lower altitude of the mountains. The taxon of 72 chromosomes is grown in the high altitude of Mt. Hallasan which is isolated from the mainland of Korea. According to this study of Chrysanthemum zawadskii complex, I have arranged the scientific names, as Chrysanthemum zawadskii subsp. latilobum, subsp. acutilobum, subsp. naktongenese, subsp. lucidum, subsp. coreanum and hybrid between subsp. acutilobum X subsp. latilobum.
