The full genome sequence of a Korean white spot syndrome virus (WSSV, isolate: WSSV-GoC18) is presented here. We obtained a total of 12,320,554 reads with 291,172 bases, 170 gene, and 170 coding DNA sequence, which were assembled in 1 contig. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the WSSV-GoC18 was closely related to Chinese isolate (WSSV-PC) and distinctly different with previously reported a Korean isolate (WSSV K-LV1). The complete genome sequence of WSSV isolates will be of great help in molecular epidemiological studies, contributing to molecular diagnosis and disease prevention in shrimp aquaculture.

36 percent nickel-iron alloy possesses a useful combination of low thermal expansion, moderately high strength and good toughness at temperatures down to that of liquid helium, $-269^{\circ}C$. These propeties coupled with good weldability and desirable physical properties make this alloy attractive for many cryogenic applications such as the cargo containment system in Liquefied Natural Gas carriers and pipes for low temperature. Generally, welding method of the 36% nickel-iron is applied with the manual and autogeneous GTAW. Lately white spots have been observed on the some autogeneous GTA welds of them. But the white spot formation have not been studied yet. This paper covers the analysis results of the white spots formation as changing welding variables.

Occurrence of white scab of tea (CAmellia sinensis) showing numerous, small, circular, reddish or yellowish brown spots on young tea leaves was observed at a tea plantation of Boseung, Chonnam, from May to June in 1992-1994. At the late growth stages, the center of the spot became light gray. The causal fungus of the white scab was identified as Sphaceloma theae Kurosawa. Symptoms were produced 5∼6 days after inoculation by the artificial inoculation of s. theae conidia, which was similar to those on naturally infected leaves.

In 1997, a new disease on creeping bentgrass and Kentucky bluegrass occurred in the green and fairway of a few golf courses in Korea. The disease spread gradually throughout the country and became a threat to turfgrass management. Symptoms of the disease consisted of small, circular, and sunken patches sized 3~5cm in diameter. The disease named as a dollar spot following its characteristic symptoms of circular blight and bleach on the green. The disease peaked two times in a year from April to June and from late August to October and white cottony mycelia of the causal fungus developed on diseased turfs in the early morning when the conditions were favored. A causal fungus was consistently isolated from the infected tufgrass and seven isolates originated from seven golf courses located in six provinces were selected for further study. The fungus produced abundant white aerial mycelia on PDA and turned to dark gray or light brown as it aged. Width of the mycelium was ca. $5~8\mu\textrm{m}$. While sclerotia were not readily formed on the medium, scattered small and dark colored stromata were developed on the surface. The fungus grew well on PDA between 5 to $30^{\circ}C$ and maximally around $25^{\circ}C$. Based on investigated mycological and cultural characteristics, the causal agent of dollar spot was identified as Sclerotinia homoeocarpa. The fungus showed strong pathogenicity to several turfs as creeping bentgrass, Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, tall fescues, and zoysiagrass.

Background: Rabbit breeding with high performance imported ones would be of benefit for genetic diversity and improvement of performance in domestic rabbit breeds. The rearing of more productive rabbit breeds could be pathway to improve the productivity and reduce the production cost. Maternal nutritional status exert a great influence on reproductive functions of does, which may expand from conception, through gestation and parturition and development of kits to puberty. Methods: Four breeds of rabbit were evaluated for their parturition, weaning and pubertal differences among the rabbit population in Ibadan, Nigeria. The breed consist of Fauve De Bourgogne (FDB), Chinchilla (CHA), British Spot (BS) and New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits. A total of 60 bucks and 360 does consisting of 15 bucks and 90 does per breed were mated in 6 mating cycles, three each of natural mating and artificial insemination. All does were synchronized for estrus with 20 IU pregnant mare serum gonadotropin 48 h prior to mating. The does after parturition were assessed for milk yield (g) and kit survival rate (%) till weaning, weight changes of kits from birth to puberty. At puberty, the pubertal age (days) and weight (g) of the offspring were assessed. Result: Results obtained reveals that British Spot doe had highest milk yield among the breeds which significantly increased growth of kit and weight at weaning in British Spot rabbits. Survival rates of Chinchilla kits were significantly (p < 0.05) higher than Fauve de Bourgogne, British Spot and New Zealand White kits. Puberty attainment of the rabbits indicates that British spot does and Fauve de Bourgogne bucks are early maturing. Conclusion: Chinchilla shows high kit survivability and British spot has highest milk yield among the four breeds of rabbit.

This study was carried out to investigate the status of spot damage by fruit piercing pests and the kinds of these pests on yuzu (Citrus junos) fruit in Koheung, the most chief producing district of yuzu fruit in Korea, from ’97 to ’99. The extent of spot damage by fruit piercing pests on yuzu was increasing in recent years. This damage of fruits was severe in the lower canopy than the high one from ground and intercropping groves between yuzu trees had a greater damage to compare with single cropping of yuzu. Spot damage of yuzu fruit was occurred mainly from late September to early November when yuzu fruit is enlarging and coloring yellow. The blackish concave spot on yuzu fruit surface was appeared in 3 days after introduction of Riptortus clavatus into a netted cage containing one yuzu fruit and the diameters of this spot was 8.3 mm. At 10 days after introduction, this spot changed into milky-white with 9.2 mm diameters. One concave spot has contained oil cells by 17.7 and its external appearances has unchanged until harvest. The kinds of piercing pests of yuzu fruit were investigated with 3 orders, 16 families and 37 species. These pests were classified by 11 species of bugs, 5 species of hoppers and 21 species of moths. Among them, dominant species were Physopelta gutta, Halyamorpha halys, Empoasca vitis, Aedia leucomelas, Agrotis tokionis, etc. Macroglossum bombylans and Acherontia s쇼x are newly confirmed species as the fruit piercing moths in Korea.

Beginning in the summer of 1993, a serious mortality among cultured penaeid shrimp occurred in the western sea of Korea. The typical sign of this disease was white spots inside the surface of the carapace. Cytopathic effect (CPE) were not observed by virus in CHSE-214, RTG-2, but not by pH 11. A nonoccluded rod-shaped form virus was observed by electron microscopy in the lymphoid organ. The virion was bacilliform virus and sourrounded by a virion envelope. Its virion protein was found to be similar to hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (HHNBV) by analysis of virion proteins in SDS-PAGE. The genome of virus is double stranded DNA molecule whose full length was about 114kb. It was similar to penaeus acute viremia (PAV) of Japan.
