Mutagenesis is used to study gene function and obtain new genetic resources for plant breeding. Soybean is an important oil crop in the world. Thus, to find new genetic resources, a mutation population was developed from the soybean cultivar Pungsannamul using 0.3% ethyl methane sulfonate. The variation of fatty acids was then evaluated among 892 M4 generation mutant lines selected from 3,774 mutant lines. While the wild type Pungsannamul showed 11.6, 3.4, 23.8, 53.3, and 7.8% for palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acid, respectively. the fatty acid variations in the mutant lines ranged from 7.4 to 19.7%, 2.2 to 13.0%, 14.7 to 49.0%, 31.8 to 63.9%, and 3.9 to 15.9% with an average of 10.8, 3.8, 25.3, 52.0, and 8.1% for palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acid, respectively. Thus, two mutation lines with higher plamitic acid, PE1542 (17.1%) and PE3058 (17.0%), one line with lower stearic acid, PE2166 (1.9%), one line with higher stearic acid, PE977 (12.7%), two lines with higher oleic acid, PE450 (44.4%) and PE2742 (47.7%), and two lines with lower linolenic acid, PE594 (4.6%) and PE1690 (3.7%), were selected from this study. The newly selected fatty acid variants will be good genetic sources for gene function analyses and breeding soybean varieties with altered fatty acids for various industrial and human food applications.

In an effort to breed lines resistant to both bacterial wilt and Phytophthora blight, F5 and BC1F4, and F6 and BC1F5 generations of the crosses between the lines previously bred for resistance to Phytophthora blight ((16-2-2-3-2 = Phytophthora-resistant 'Kalmi', 19-1-3-7-1-1, 19-2-4-5-3-2 = Phytophthora-resistant 'Subi', Kim et al., 1996) and sources of resistance to bacterial wilt (KC350 = MC-4 or KC353 = PBC631, Kim et al., 1998) were evaluated for resistance to both bacterial wilt and to Phytophthora blight in 1999 and in 2000, respectively. Plants which were highly resistant to both bacterial wilt and Phytophthora blight were selected for development of the next generations.

Culture conditions for plant regeneration of Camellia japonica were achieved by organogenesis in explants of cotyledon. Seed cotyledons were cultured on MS medium containing various auxin, 2,4-D or NAA and cytokinins BA. The adventitious shoot buds were efficiently formed without embryogenesis on the basal region of cotyledon cultured on MS medium supplemented with $0.1\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ 2.4-D and $1\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ BA. Seed cotyledons could be used as a source of explants in experiments of genetic transformation of the genotypes evaluated for improving the efficiency of production of transgenic Camellia plants.

Protoplasts were isolated from hypocotyl tissues of 5-day-old Brassica oleracea var capitata Green Challenger seedlings. Several media were used for protoplast culture and shoot regeneration. The shoot-regeneration rapacity of protoplast derived callus depended on the initial culture medium. Protoplasts were cultured in liquid medium (B5 medium supplemented with CaCl2, 2H2O 600mg/L, g1ucose 20g/L, D-mannito1 70g/L, NAA lmg/L, BA lmg/L, 2.4-D 0.25 mg/L)at 27$^{\circ}C$ under the dark After 5 to 10 days, cultlues were diluted with medium with a reduced osmotic stabilizer and then transferred to illuminated conditions. The culture medium was changed with the fresh medium at 7- to 10-day-intervals until the formation of microcallus. Hypocotyl protoplast-derived callus proliferated when transferred to MS medium supplemented with NAA lmg/L, BA 1mg/L and GA$_3$ 0.02mg/L. Upon transfer to MS basal medium without growth regulators, roots were produced. In an attempt to increase the regeneration frequency, 10g/L polyvinylpyrrolidone was added to the regeneration medium, but the shoot regeneration was mot improved. The regenerated whole plants were acclimated in a sterized soilless mixture(vermiculite 2;perlite 2;peat moss1) in a culture room.

This study was carried out to select useful chemicals to control pathogens inciting soybean-sprout rot. Pathogen strains were isolated from decaying soybean seedlings. The isolated strains were identified as Pseudomonas spp. (Pse. strains) through microbiological test, however, no rot-inciting fungus was isolated. Eight food additives were tested with different concentrations in controlling pathogens and harmfulness. Five chemicals(over 5% cone.) including sodium hypochlorite apparently inhibited the growth of Pse. strains on media plate, however, sodium hypochlorite was discarded due to its severe germination inhibition. Propionic acid and acetic acid inhibited the growth of Pse. strains more effectively than calcium propionate and sodium propionate relatively. As no harmful effect on seed germination and no growth retard of soybean sprouts were observed by those chemicals with lower concentration(0.5∼1.0%), these chemicals were considered to be applicable to sprout rot control judged by the effectiveness and permissible concentration as food additives.

A truncated Polygalacturonase (PG) cDNA was fused in reverse orientation to the CaMV 35S promoter of the binary vector pCA643, and introduced into tomato cells by Agrobaderium - mediated transformation. Transformed cells were selected using kanamycin as select agent then regenerated into plants. After selfed, one transgenic line (T9), was germinated and grown on MS medium containing 1 mg/mL of kanamycin Genomic Southern analysis of a T9 progeny with labelled PG2 cDNA probe showed a single antisense PC fragment as well as the endogenous PG2 gene, suggesting that PC antisense gene was integrated into tomato genome. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that the antisense RNA was produced from the transgene at much tiger level than the endogenous PG2 gene. Polygalacturonase activity analysis of the fruit from transgenic plants demonstrated that the antisense transgene expression caused 4 to 60% reduction of endogenous PG activity.

Forest fires occur the world over, with large-scale fires constantly breaking out. A suppressant a type of forest fire chemical is widely used to respond to fires rapidly and effectively. In general, suppressants used for fires have been divided into dry powder, liquid, foam, and gel type, according to physical form and use. This study has conducted toxicity tests relating to phytotoxicity(Pinus densiflora seed germination rate and mortality of containerized seedling), and soil organism toxicity(earthworm acute toxicity tests), of these suppressants, with the loaded stream suppressant for direct forest fire extinguishing a Loaded Stream and foam concentrates generally being used in Korea. From the results of the tests, the loaded stream and the foam concentrate had an effect on the toxicity levels. In the case of the loaded stream type, it was observed that toxicity indicating a 100% lethality rate was found among all toxicity test methods. Therefore, it is determined that forest ecology environmental toxicity impact assessments related to the suppressant used to extinguish forest fires are necessary in the near future.

A suitable system for plant regeneration has been established for perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). In order to investigate the effects of genetic variations of perennial ryegrass in tissue culture response, calli were induced from mature seeds of five cultivars, 'Topgun', 'Accent', 'Renenge GLX', 'Tetrellite', 'Bison' and plant regeneration frequency was compared. Significant differences were observed among the cultivars in both callus induction and plant regeneration. Genotype 'Accent' consistently performed best in the callus formation and plant regeneration. These results can be used useful for molecular breeding of perennial ryegrass through genetic transformation.

The genetic diversity and population structure of Potentilla freyniana in Korea were determined using genetic variations at 19 allozyme loci. Thirteen of the 19 loci (68.4%) showed detectable polymorphism. Genetic diversity at the population level was high ($H_{EP}$ = 0.270). Total genetic diversity values ($H_T$) varied between 0.190 and 0.584, giving an average overall polymorphic loci of 0.371. The interlocus variation of genetic diversity within populations ($H_S$) was high (0.354). On a per locus basis, the proportion of total genetic variation due to differences among populations ($G_{ST}$) ranged from 0.008 for Fe-2 to 0.310 for Gpi with a mean of 0.065, indicating that about 6.5% of the total allozyme variation was among populations. Wide geographic ranges, perennial herbaceous nature and the persistence of multiple generations are associated with the high level of genetic variation in P. freyniana. The estimate of gene flow based on $G_{ST}$, was high among Korean populations of P. freyniana (Nm =3.57). Although P. freyniana usually propagated by asexually-produced ramets, I could not rule out the possibility that sexual reproduction occurred at a low rate because each ramet may produce terminal flowers.
