This was carried out to develop a chromosome-doubled (12x) persimmon that will be used as a crossing parent to select seedless persimmon cultivars with the change of the consumption trend recently. To obtain a chromosome-doubled (12x) persimmon, colchicine was applied at the meristem of seedlings in vitro derived from cross among hexaploid persimmon (Diopyros kaki Thunb.). These were treated with 0.03%, 0.05% and 0.1% colchicine respectively for doubling chromosome, and it was most effective at the concentration of 0.05% colchicine. After colchicine treatment, we conducted tests to elucidate conditions for inducing shoot and root development. As the result, the shoots grew best when cultivated at 1/2MS media plus 10 and $30{\mu}M$ zeatin respectively, and the roots grew best when cultivated at 1/2MS media after dipping for 5 seconds at 10 mM NAA+5% DMSO. We also compared seedlings that have chromosome (6x) do not doubled and crossing parents (6x) and chromosome-doubled seedlings (12x). As the result, these chromosome-doubled seedlings (12x) showed lower stomatal density and larger stomatal size.

Purpose : The prevalence of renal malformation in Turner syndrome has been quoted as being greater than 50% in older series. Recently in 1988, Lippe's review gave a prevalence of 33%, significantly lower than all previous reports. In 1996, Flynn reported that renal malformation occurs in approximately 24% of all girls with Turner syndrome, and that it is seldom seen in girls with mosaic karyotype who form the predominant subgroup. The aim of this study was to evaluate prevalence of renal malformation by karyotype in Turner syndrome in Korea. Method : We evaluated 81 patients with Turner sundrome diagnosed in Yonsei University from Jan. 1987 to Dec. 1996. The patient entered in this study were those for whom both karyotype and ultrasound examination of the kidney were available. Result : 1) The karyotype showed: 45,X ; 29 cases (38%), mosaicism : 32 cases (40%), structural aberration ; 17 cases (22%). 2) Of the 29 cases of pure 45,X karyotype, 5(17%) had abnormal renal findings, while these were found in only 1 of the 30 mosaic cases(3.3%), and in 1 of the 17 structural aberration cases(6%). The malformation included 3 cases of horseshoe kidney, 2 cases of axial malrotation, hypoplastic kidney and simple cyst each one. There was no statistical significance between 3 groups (p=0.09). Conclusion : We conclude that renal malformation occurs in 9.2% in this study, therefore Korean girls with Turner syndrome have lower rates of renal malformation.

The effects of 2-arnino-3-methyIimidazo[4,5-fq]u inoline (IQ), 2-amino-6dimethyl-dipyrido[l,2-a;3',2'-d] imidazole (Glu-P-1) and aflatoxin B1 (AFBI) on the mitotic recombinations and somatic chromosome mutations were investigated using the transgenic Drosophila bearing a chimeric gene consisting of a promoter region of Drosophila actin 5C gene and rat DNA polymerase $. For investigating mitotic recombinations and the somatic chromosome mutations, the heterozygous (mwhl+) strain possessing or lacking transgene pol P was used. The spontaneous frequency of small mwh spots, due to deletion or nondisjunction etc., in the non-transgenic w strain and the transgenic plpol $1-130 strain was 0.351 and 0.606, respectively. The spontaneous frequency (0.063) of large mwh spots, arising mostly from somatic recombination between the centromere and the locus mwh, in the transgenic plpol $1-130 strain, was about three times higher than that (0.021) of the non-transgenic w strain. The mutant clone frequencies of two types induced by two heterocyclic mines (IQ and Glu-P-1) and AFBl in the transformant pbol PI-130 were two or three times higher than those in the host strain w. These mean that rat DNA polymerase P participates at least in the somatic chromosome mutations and mitotic recombination processes. And the present results suggest that the transgenic Drosophl!~ used in this study can be used as a hypersensitive, in vivo short-term assaying system for various environmental mutagens.

The effects of Sodium Fluoride on squamous cell carcinoma cell line(SCC-cells) cultured in vitro have been studied with respect to cytotoxicity and induction of chromosome aberrations. Cytotoxicity of NaF on SCC-cells, as determined by a decrease in colony-forming ability, linearly increased with dose of NaF(150-300 ug/ml) or exposure time (3-24h). SCC-cells treated with 30-60ug/ml NaF for 24h were analyzed for chromosome aberrations. A significant increase in the frequency of chromosome aberration at the chromatid level was induced by NaF in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that NaF is a toxic substance which inhibit cell proliferation and causes DNA damage in SCC-cells cultured in Vitro.

Comparative study of karyotypes in two allotypes $(Mdh-1^{MM} and Mdh-1^{MS})$ of the dark chub (Zacco temmincki) was examined. Both types had diploid number of 48 but the 7th chromosome was strikingly different between them. The chromosomes of $Mdh-1^{MM}$ type was consisted of 6 pairs of metacentrics, 6 pairs of submetacentrics, and 12 pairs of acrocentrics whereas the chromosomes of $Mdh-1^{MS}$ type had 7 pairs of metacentrics, 5 pairs of submetacentrics and 12 pairs of acrocentrics. No hybrid type between these two types was found in sympatric area at Tongchon River Namhae. Probable reproductive isolation between them was discussed.

In this paper, a metamorphosed genetic algorithm based on the meiosis for human's chromosome is presented. In the algorithm, chromosomes in an individual are divided in half and in the other are divided into other rate. By our definition, they are composed of gametes with X-type chromosomes or Y-type chromosomes or especially M(mutation)-type chromosomes. When tow gametes among them are randomly selected and recombined, the new individual is correspondingly generated. Without reducing the searching space significantly, the global solution can be readily searched by new generated individual. The performance of he presented algorithm is examined and evaluated through proper simulation using test functions.

Maximal Covering 문제(MCP)란 행렬 상에서 n개의 열(column) 중 p개를 선택하여 m개의 행(row)중 최대한 많은 행을 cover하는 문제로 정의된다. 본 논문에서는 MCP를 유전 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm)으로 해결하기 위해 문제에 적합하게 설계된 교차 연산자(crossover operator)와 비발현 유전인잔(unexpressed gene)를 가진 새로운 염색체 구조를 제시한다. 해결하고자 하는 대상 MCP의 규모가 매우 큰 경우 전통적인 임의교차(random crossover) 방법으로는 좋은 결과를 얻기가 힘들다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 그리디 교차(greedy crossover) 방법을 제시하여 문제를 해결한다. 그러나 이러한 그리디 교차를 사용하더라도 조기 수렴 등의 문제로 인해 타부 탐색 등의 이웃해 탐색 방법에 비해 그리 좋은 결과를 얻기가 힘들다. 본 논문은 이러한 조기 수렴 문제를 해결하고 다른 이웃에 탐색 방법보다 더 좋은 결과를 얻기 위해 비발현 유전인자(unexpressed gene)를 가진 염색체를 도입하여 해결함을 특징으로 한다. 비발현 유전인자는 교차 과정에서 자식 염색체의 유전인자로 전달되지 않은 정보 중 나중에라도 유용할 가능성이 보이는 정보를 보존하는 역할을 하여 조기 수렴 문제를 해결하는데 도움을 주어 보다 나은 결과를 얻을 수 있게 해준다. 대규모 MCP를 해결하는 실험에서 새로운 비발현 유전인자를 적용한 유전 알고리즘이 기존의 유전 알고리즘뿐만 아니라 다른 탐색 기법에 비해 더욱 좋은 성능을 보여줌을 확인하였다.

Cytological characteristics of Abeliophyllum distichum (Oleaceae), endemic to Korea, was examined. Somatic chromosome numbers was 2n = 28 which corresponds to diploid based on x=14. Chromosome length was varied continuously from $1.00{\mu}m$ to $2.03{\mu}m$. Karyotype of Abeliophyllum distichum was investigated in this study for the first time. The cytological characteristics including basic chromosome number, continuous variation of chromosome length, diploid and karyotype were similar to those of the genus Forsythia, which indicated the close relationship between Abeliophyllum and Forsythia, and consequently the two genera seemed to be included to same tribe.

The vegetative nuclear divisions in hyphae and chromosome numbers were studied with the aid of Giemsa-HCl techniques from 10 strains of Fusarium oxysporum. The entire nuclear division process occurred within an intact nuclear envelope like other fungus. The results confirmed that 2 strains(F. oxysporum S Hongchun D2, F. oxysporum S Jinyang 4) were n=4; 3 strains(F. oxysporum f. sp. lini KFCC 32585, F. oxysporum f. sp. melongenae KFCC 34743 and F. oxysporum f. sp. raphani) n=5; 2 strains(F. oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum, and F. oxysporum f. sp. mori KFCC 34742) n=6; 3 strains(F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerium, F. oxysporum f. sp.niveum, and F. oxysporum f. sp. pisi) n=7.

기름종개과의 N. toni, L. costota, N. multifasciata 3종에 대한 형태분석, 핵형분석 및 전기영동법에 의한 유전자 분석을 실시 각 종의 지리적 변이 및 계통적 유연관계를 조사하였다. 형태 측정치에 대한 discriminant 분석결과 연 yoni 월악산집단, 1. costoto 거제도집단 그리고 환multifasc지물 산철집단이 같은 종내 타 집단들과 형태상 완전히 분리 되어졌다. 핵형분석에서 N. muftifosciota와 1. costoto는 2n: 50으로 염색체수는 조사된 전 집단이 변리없이 동일하였다. N to티 삼척과 진부집단은 2n: 50으로 동일하였으나 고성집단은 2n=50, In : 48인 염색체상이 한개체에서 동시에 발견되었고, 인형성부위의 위치 및 형태가 타 집단과 차이가 있었다. 전기영동을 실시하여 총 28개의 유전자를 검출, 분석하였다. 3종중 N. multifosciata 청도집단의 유전적 변이 (HDi 123, HG : .160)가 가장 높았고, N. toni 고성집단이 가장 적었다. ( HD= .017, HG= .015). N. yoni 고성집단과 강릉집단은 각 집단의 고유한 genetic marker를 다수 갖고 있으며 타집단들과 유전적 근연관계도 매우 먼 것으로 나타나 각기 독립된 별종으로 추정된다.
