The genus Acymatopus Takagi is reported for the first time from Korean fauna along with two nominate species, A. minor Takagi, 1965 and A. takeishii Masunaga, Saigusa & Yang, 2005. This genus belonging to the subfamily Hydrophorinae in the family Dolichopodidae. It comprised of only six species in the world and distributed only in Japan and China thus far. The genus is diagnosed by a metallic bluish-green body with thick gray tomentum, lacking black and white markings of mesonotum, 2 pairs of long marginal setae at scutellum and male's dorsally slightly curved fore tarsomere 1. Both adults and larvae of this genus are known to be found on rugged and rocky marine shores of the tidal zone. The authors found the first recorded species in the west seaside of Korea, where many barnacles inhabit. The descriptions and illustrations of external features including male genitalia of newly recorded species are provided in this paper.

We observed the succession and appearence species of the marine benthic diatoms for the effective seed production of shellfish culture on wave plates in indoor mass culture tanks. Every five days, the existence species and densitiy of diatoms were counted during the 20 culture days. Experimental conditions were 8.5 $\pm$ 0.3$^{\circ}C$ of water temperature, 1.0250$\~$1.0260 of specific gravity, 2,200$\~$13,000 lux of light intensity. The total density of appearence species was rapidly increased with the lapse of time. However, the number of appearence species decreased on the 20th day. The diatoms observed were 10 species; Navicula sp. of, viridula, Cylindrotheca closterium, Licmophora sp., Pleurosisma normnii, Bacillaria Paradoxa Asterionella glacialis, Stephanopuis sp. cf, turris, Entomoneis sp., Odontella aurita and Cocconeis sp, cf, scutellum. Of them, Navicula sp, of, viridula was most dominant throughout the experiment.

In this experiment, three kinds of mutations(ge, re, and eml )relating to the size of embryos were used to study their generation, genetic mechanism and developmental characteristics, and the interactions between embryo and endosperm were also examined. Giant embryo mutation comprises 7 kinds including the already isolated ge, and ge-2, which share an identical gene site. The SAM and the size of radicule for the ge showed little difference compared to a normal type. The number of embryo cells did not increased as much as it would affect the size of embryo. Therefore, the enlargement of embryo was due to the enlargement of scutellum that originated from the corpulence of each cell. Both F$_1$' s of re ]and odm 49 formed reduce embryos, and other combinations of hybridization showed all wild type of embryo sizes. Accordingly, the odm 49 must have an identical gene site of re 1, while odm 48 and odm 62 have different gene sites. Their shoots and radicules also shrank by the same ratio, however no sign of physical change was noticed. The size of embryo cell showed no change, while the number of cells was the half of that of wild types. The three gene sites of re represent all of them control the size of the entire embryo forming organs. The eml 1 was defined to have temperature sensibilities that the generation of endosperms was active at a high temperature while that was hampered at a low temperature.

Recent identification and characterization of plant homeobox genes suggest that they play important roles in morphogenetic events. OSH1, one of the rice homeobox genes, is thought to be related to organ development since the changes of OSH1 gene expression cause morphological abnormalities of leaves by the ectopic expression and is expressed during early embryogenesis. In this experiment, the expression pattern of OSH1 was analyzedinmutants by in situ hybridization, and OSH1's potential as a molecular marker was explored. Region-specific expression of OSH1 during early embryogenesis shows that OSH1 could be used as a molecular marker for characterizing embryo mutants. Although several organless and shootless mutants showed normal expression of OSM1, some mutants exhibited abnormal expression patterns. In a minute organless cle1-1 embryo whose epidermis resembled morphologically the epithelium of scutellum, OSH1 expression was limited to a small basal region. This expression pattern suggests the gross deletion of the basal part. In a radicleless mutant, odm115, OSH1 expression was detected in a basal region instead of subcentral region of the ventral side. Together with other characteristics (short embryo and normal adventitious roots), odm115 was estimated to be derived from the deletion of basal region. Among five shootless mutants, three showed normal expression of OSH1. In the shl2 embryo, no expression of OSH1 was observed. In the shl1 embryo, however, OSH1 expression was extended to a dorsal side, indicating that SHL2 might be related to dorsoventral patterning. The above results of in situ hybrydization clearly indicate that OSH1 can be utilized as a marker for characterizing gene functions of embryo mutants.

유용 수산생물인 전복, 소라, 성게 등 무척추동물의 종묘생산에 있어 부착 규조류는 수서 생태계의 일차 생산자로서 유생의 변태와 변태 후의 초기 먹이생물로 활용되고 있으며 최근에는 단일 부착규조류의 실내 배양을 통해 유용 수산생물 종묘의 대량 생산을 유도하고 있다. 부착규조류의 생물량 및 종 조성에 따라 이들 조식동물의 성장과 먹이 효율성에 커다란 영향을 끼친다. 이 연구는 종묘생산의 환경 조건과 동일한 현장에서 유수식 수조에 투명 플라스틱 부착파판(30$\times$40cm)을 설치하여 1997년 10월부터 1999년 4월까지 실내수조에 설치한 부착파판을 10일 간격으로 회수하여 부착된 규조류의 생물량과 환경적 특성을 조사하였다. 실험기간 동안 자연광을 55~75% 차단한 상태에서 실험을 진행하였고 수온과 염분은 각각 14.1$^{\circ}C$~28.6$^{\circ}C$와 32.5$\textperthousand$~35.3$\textperthousand$의 범위를 보였다. 실험기간 동안 부착규조류의 총 출현종수는 27종(17속 25종 2미동정종)으로 중심규조류(centric diatom)가 4종 그리고 우상규조류(pennate diatom)가 23종이었다. 현존량의 30% 이상을 점유하는 부착 규조류들은 Bacillaria paxillifera, Cocconeis scutellum, Diatoma hyalina, Navicula mollis, Nitzschia sp., Synedra tabulta 등 6종이 우점하였다. 부착규조류의 현존량은 2.5$\times$$10^3$~ 5.0$\times$$10^{5}$ cells $cm^{-2}$ 의 분포 범위로 1999년 4월에 가장 높고 1997년 10월에 가장 낮았다. Chlorophyll $\alpha$량 ($\mu\textrm{g}$ chl $\alpha$ $cm^{-2}$)은 0.02 ~ 1.72 $\mu\textrm{g}$ chi $\alpha$ $cm^{-2}$의 범위로써 부착규조류의 현존량과 유사한 분포 특성을 보였다. 유수식 실내수조에 부착된 부착규조류의 부착 형태, 우점종과 현존량은 배양 시기에 따라 종간 특이성을 보였다.다.

To investigate the response on feeder cell cultures, protoplasts isolated from cell suspensions initiated from mature seed scutellum-derived callus of the Japonica rice variety Taipei 309, were cultured on filter membranes under various conditions. The effects of various factors, such as gelling agents, feeder cell and protoplast densities, species of feeder cells and heat shock treatment, have been investigated to improve protoplast plating efficiencies on filter membranes. Maximum protoplast plating efficiencies were obtained when protoplasts were cultured on KPR medium semi-solidified with Sea Plaque agarose at a density of $5\;\times\;10^{5}\;ml^{-1}$ protoplasts in the presence of Lolium multiflorum as feeder cells (0.5 ml pcv per 10 ml of protoplast culture medium). Pre-culture heat shock treatments for 1 min. and 5 min. to the protoplasts did not give any appreciable increase on the plating efficiency of protoplasts in the presence of feeder cells. Maltose-supplemented medium was superior for plant regeneration from protoplast-derived colonies compared with medium containing only sucrose. The plants were transferred to the glasshouse, flowered and were fertile.
