'Cheonhong'was released by the National Horticultural Research Institute in 1992 as a new mid-ripening, yellow-fleshed, and freestone nectarine variety, which originated from open-pollinated seeds of 'Garden State' nectarine collected in 1978. This was tested as 'Wonkyo Da-03' at 4 areas for 4 years from 1989. 'Cheonhong' is resistant to fruit cracking during rainy season and russeting. Fruits mature about 15 days before 'SunGlo' and have rich-flavor and good quality.

Positive correlations were observed between protein content and $\textrm{K}_2\textrm{O}$, protein and ash, protein and moisture content, and $\textrm{P}_2\textrm{O}_5$ and ash in soybean seeds. On the contrary, negative correlations were observed between fat and CaO, fat and ash, $\textrm{K}_2\textrm{O}$ and moisture content, CaO and moisture content, and MgO and ash content in soybean seeds.

A new gerbera variety "Red Line" was released by the National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science (NIHHS) in 2008. A cross was made between "Mirage" with orange and double and "Rose" with red and semi-double in 2005. After investigation of the characteristics for four years (from 2005 to 2008), it was selected specially for the use of cut flower. "Red Line" is a vigorous cultivar with red (RHS R44B), black center and semi-double. The average flower diameter is 12.7 cm, large flower. And inner ray floret and disc diameter are 8.10 cm and 2.80 cm, respectively. It produces a large yield with continuous supply of flowers and has adequate peduncle height. We believe that "Red Line" has a great potential for expanding cultivated area of domestic gerbera cultivars and increasing farmers-income.

A new spray chrysanthemum(Dendranthema grandiflorum) cultivar, "Golden Eye" was developed from a cross between "Rosa" and "Angaesoguk" by selection of seedlings and lines at the Flower Research Institute, Gyeongnam Agricultural Research and Extension Services(ARES) from 2004 to 2008. Its characteristics were investigated three times from 2006 to 2008 under condition of forcing culture in spring and retarding culture in autumn. The natural flowering time of "Golden Eye" was October 23th, and year-round production was possible by day length treatment. This cultivar was yellow in color, single in flower type for the spray type cut flower. Its capitulum was 2.4cm in diameter, and had 23.2 head per stem in autumn. Its ray floret was green central zone. The days to flowering under the short day treatment is about 49 days in spring season, and "Golden Eye" showed the vase life of 25.7 days in autumn. This cultivar was registered for a commercialization in 2008.

A new poinsettia cultivar "Early bird" was bred by the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science (NIHHS) in 2007. A cross was made between 'Ichiban', a variety with deep lobed transitional leaves and bright red bracts, and 'Freedom Red', a vigorously growing dark red colored variety in 2004. "Early bird" was finally selected in 2007 after the investigation of the growth and flower characteristics from 2005 to 2007. "Early bird" has bright red colored, wide obovate bracts. Leafblade is dark green and ovate. Plant height is short and stem color is greenish. Response to short day is early and its bracts and transitional leaves are fully colored 6.5 weeks after short day commencement.

A new gerbera cultivar 'Whiteny' was released by the National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science in 2009. A cross was made between 'Wonder King' with white semi-double and 'Ever Green' with pale greenish white and semi-double in 2007. After evaluation of the characteristics for four years (from 2007 to 2010), it was selected specially for the use of cut flower. The 'Whiteny' cultivar has pure white color (RHS W155D) with black disc center and semi-double flower. The average flower diameter is 11.5 cm, large-sized flower. And inner ray floret and disc diameter are 7.8 cm and 2.2 cm, respectively. It has a long peduncle height, 52.2 cm, and longer vase life, 12.1 days. And it is also adaptable to the local cultural environment of Korea. It is expected that if the 'Whiteny' cultivar is planted, the royalty paid to foreign varieties can be saved. And the local growers will also be benefitted since the cost of cultivars will be lower than the imported ones.

A new poinsettia cultivar 'Clara' was bred by the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science (NIHHS) in 2005. A cross was made between 'Red Velvet', a variety with dark green leaves and red bracts, and 'Freedom Bright Red', a variety with early short day responding and bright red bracts, in 2002. 'Clara' was finally selected in 2005 after the investigation of the growth and flowering characteristics from 2003 to 2005. 'Clara' has red ovate bracts and weak intensity of rugosity between bract veins. Leaf blade is ovate and medium green. Petiole length is relatively short, and stem color is reddish. 'Clara' has medium free-branching ability and makes short and compact canopy. Clara's bracts and transitional leaves are fully colored 9 weeks after short day commencement.

A new poinsettia cultivar 'Heidi' was bred by the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science (NIHHS) in 2004. A cross was made between 'Freedom Rose', a variety with vigorously growing deep pink color, and 'Red Velvet', a variety with dark green leaves and red bracts in 2001. 'Heidi' was finally selected in 2004 after the investigation of the growth and flower characteristics from 2002 to 2004. It has velvety red colored elliptic bracts and transitional leaves, and medium intensity of rugosity between bract veins. Leaf blade is dark green, ovate shape and lobes are shallow. Petiole length is relatively short and stem color is reddish. 'Heidi' has free-branching ability and plant height is short. The bracts and transitional leaves are fully colored 7.5 weeks after short day commencement.

This study was carried out to assess the potential of hypocotyl explants for multiple-propagation by intensive sweetener variety with high yielding in stevia of self-fertilization. Agronomical character of self-fertilization shown a height range 72.0~120.7 cm, branch's 4.9~56.6 in stevia. Selection of high content of Rebaudioside A (RA) from segregating population in mixing variety have a variety, 'DA1' (55.2%) from HPLC analysis. On a developing of multiple-propagation in stevia, hypocotyl explants used to select for reasonable medium under the influence of each plant growth regulators concentrations. In a Mix treatment of plant growth regulators, as Murashige and Skoog medium with 1.5 mg/L BA and 0.5 mg/L Kinetin showed the most favorable. We got the multiple-propagation of 30 shoots from one inoculated hypocotyl explants as the result of these bases. Rooting induced superbly on MS medium with 0.1 mg/L IBA with inoculated shoots. All of the rooting plants were adapted to a normal seedling. This method of multi-propagation is used effectively in Rebaudioside A productivity elevation.

We conducted a QTL analysis of grain quality traits using 117 $BC_3F_4$ and $BC_3F_5$ lines developed from a cross between Ilpumbyeo and Moroberekan. Genotypes of 117 $BC_3F_5$ lines were determined using 134 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A linkage map constructed using 134 SSR markers was employed to characterize quantitative trait loci (QTL). The 117 $BC_3F_4$ and $BC_3F_5$ lines were evaluated for eleven grain quality traits in 2005 and 2006. A total of 18 QTLs were identified for eleven traits, and the phenotypic variance explained by each QTL ranged from 9.9% to 35.2%. Moroberekan alleles contributed positive effects in the Ilpumbyeo background at two QTL loci for 1,000 grain weight. Four QTLs, two for chalky rice and one each for 1,000 grain weight and head rice were consistently detected in two consecutive years indicating that these QTLs are stable. Clusters of QTLs were observed in three chromosome regions. One cluster harboring five QTLs including head rice and brown rice ratio near SSR markers RM190 and RM314 was detected on chromosome 6. Another cluster harboring grain weight and white belly was detected on chromosome 2. Increase in white belly at this locus might be due to the increase in grain weight due to the presence of the Moroberekan allele. The Moroberekan alleles at two QTL loci, gw3 and gw4 associated with increased grain weight might be useful in breeding programs to develop high-yielding cultivars.
