Fish larvae are immediately exposed to microbes from hatching to maturation of their lymphoid organs, therefore effective innate mechanisms is very important for survival in such an environment. The key component of innate immune system, C3 is central protein of all activation pathways of the complement system, leading to inflammatory reactions, such as opsonisation, chemotaxis, and cell lysis of pathogens. Although, innate mechanisms is essential for survival in the early stage of development, little is known about defence mechanisms. In this study, the alignment analysis showed that amino acid sequence of C3 from olive flounder liver EST homologous to other known C3 sequences with 73-99% identity. Also, we examined the tissue distribution of olive flounder C3 and analyzed expression pattern from the fertilized egg until 28 days post hatching. As a result, olive flounder C3 mRNA was expressed only in the liver and the mRNA level more increased as developmental proceed during the early stage. These results may suggest that olive flounder C3 plays an important function in the early immune response of olive flounder larvae.

이 연구는 2009년 3월에서 2012년 7월까지 한라산에 설치한 인공둥지에서 번식하는 박새류(Titmouse)의 고도변화에 따른 번식생태학적 특징을 밝히기 위하여 이루어졌다. 박새류의 최초산란일은 고도가 높아짐에 따라 늦어지는 양상을 보였고, 고도상승에 따른 기온감소가 최초산란일에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 결과를 종합해보면, 번식기(4~6월)의 평균기온과 산란일 간에는 유의한 상관을 보이지는 않았다(p>0.05). 인공둥지 이용률은 지역과 연도별 차이는 없었으나 박새(Parus major)와 곤줄박이(Parus varius) 두 종간에는 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한배산란수는 종간에 차이가 있었으나(p<0.05) 고도와 연도별 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 부화성공률, 이소성공률, 번식성공률은 각각 2011년 67.3%, 99.5%, 67.0%이었고, 2012년에는 71.3%, 96.8%, 69.0%로 이소성공률은 높았고, 부화성공률과 번식성공률은 비슷하게 나타났다. 고도 차이에 따른 기온의 변화가 번식시기에 영향을 미치는 것은 확인되었으나 다른 번식생태학적 특성과의 상관관계는 확인할 수 없었다. 따라서 고도에 따른 기온변화가 박새류의 번식에 미치는 영향을 보다 명확하게 밝히기 위해서는 미기후요인과 먹이원 등의 조사를 통한 장기적인 연구가 필요할 것이라 판단된다.

Plant cells from which the cell walls have been enzymatically or mechanically removed are called protoplasts. The protoplasts are theoretically totipotent and can be used as sources of somatic cell fusion in practical breeding programs. Wild Solanum species have often been used as sources of important agricultural traits including diverse disease resistance. However, they cannot often be directly applied to breeding programs due to their sexual incompatibility with S. tuberosum. Somatic hybridization via protoplast fusion is one of the ideal methods to overcome this limitation and to introgress certain traits into S. tuberosum. This technique has still widely been used in potato since the first fusion was reported in 1970s. Therefore, this review highlights general perspectives of protoplast fusion and discusses the application of protoplast fusion in potato breeding.

Adult land crabs generally live on land while their larvae live in the sea. In the case of Sesarma haematoche, female crabs migrate from land to sea to release the larvae at the high tide of syzygy night. Artificial structures along coastal areas are being obstacles for the migration of land crabs and causing synchronized roadkills on coastal roads during breeding migration. In this research, we compared the sex ratios of crab populations in coastal areas with coastal roads and uninhabited island areas with no road. The proportion of females in inland habitats with coastal roads was significantly smaller than island habitats. In particular, females are exposed to the risk of annually repeated roadkills, and the proportion of females decreases rapidly with their growth. If this tendency is general for land crab populations in the coastal areas with roads, significant road mortality of female land crabs during breeding migration can lead to severe population decline in coastal areas. Therefore, it is necessary to take an action to save land crabs crossing coastal roads.

Providing an adequate environment for horses is important to minimize the level of stress for domesticated horses. The objectives of this study were 1) to evaluate the effect of living conditions on stress level of horses, 2) to observe the effect of one month confinement on self-maintenance behavior and stereotypic behavior of horses. The experiment was conducted at National Institute of Animal Science, Equine Field Station (Seonghwan-eup, Korea). Horses were staying in the paddock prior to the experiment. On day 1, five horses were randomly selected and housed in metal fence panels stall. Six horses remained in the same paddock. The ratio of neutrophil to lymphocyte (on day 15) and cortisol (on day 1 and 29) from stalled horses were significantly higher than horses in the paddock. Duration or frequency of self-maintenance behaviors such as feeding, drinking, resting, walking was not significantly different between day 1 and day 29. However, the frequency of urination significantly decreased (p<0.05) on day 29 compared with day 1. The frequency of stereotypic behaviors was not different between day 1 and 29. Our data indicate that horses may be more stabled when they are staying in the paddock rather than staying in the stall, but the stress level of horses in the stall during one month confinement was not effective for horses to adapt stereotypic behavior. In conclusion, providing an adequate environment and stress-less horse management techniques can minimize the stress level of horses.

This study was conducted to select sesame varieties with high cultural stabilities by comparing several parameters of agronomic traits under the different cultural environments. Of the six areas, Iksan and Jinju areas which showed positively larger environment index values were relatively adequate cultural conditions for sesame. At the comparison of cultural stability of agronomic traits by Eberhart and Russell regression model among sesame breeding lines, Suwon 169 showed more stable regression coefficient values to the number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule and seed weight per plant, and Iksan 12 showed more stable regression coefficient values to culm length and weight per plant. At the comparison of cultural stability of yield per 10a, Suwon 169 and Iksan 12 among sesame breeding lines showed more stable respectively, deviation values of 0.99, 0.98 respectively, and more less regression deviation values of 0.074, 0.167 respectively. Therefore those breeding lines are comparatively higher stabilities to yield determining agronomic traits under the different cultural environments, and it was concluded that those two breeding lines had the possibility to recommend promising breeding lines in the future.

We studied the behavior of black vultures breeding in Erdenesant, Mongolia through time budget observation. We observed a pair of black vulture for 115 days from April 30 to August 22, 2005, of which 15 days were before hatching and 100 days of brood rearing. The egg hatched on May $14^{th}$. Incubation was done by both a male and female vultures, but the period covered by the male vulture(56.82%) was longer than that by the female one(34.62%). In the early days of brood rearing, time spent by the female vulture at the nest took 54.9 % and it was 19.27% for the male. In the middle of brood rearing period, just inaction and preening were noticed, as they watched their chicks for a long time without sheltering chick under the parent's body. Late brood rearing period was characterized by less chick care and adults mostly stayed in the nest only when to feed the chicks. During breeding time, both the male and the female vulture fed only the chicks and did not give food to each other. During rearing period, the male vulture fed the chick more often than female.

전 세계적으로 붉은귀거북(Trachemys scripta elegans)은 새로운 지역으로 유입되어 토착 생태계를 교란하는 대표적인 외래생물이다. 국내에는 1970년대부터 방생과 애완의 목적으로 수입되었으며, 현재 남한 전역에 걸쳐 발견되고 있다. 또한 자연적인 번식과 확산이 지속적으로 관찰되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에는 제주도 지역에서 발견되는 붉은귀거북을 대상으로 자연적인 번식에 영향을 미치는 환경적인 요소를 파악하고자 하였다. 먼저, 2012년부터 2017년까지 제주도 내 붉은귀거북의 분포를 조사하였다. 붉은귀거북의 번식이 확인되는 지역과 그렇지 않는 지역을 대상으로 주변의 토지 피복과 서식지 기후의 차이를 비교하였다. 연구 결과, 붉은귀거북은 선행 연구에서 기록한 15개 지역에서 증가한 38개 지점에서 발견되었다. 그 중 번식 확인된 지역은 21개, 단순히 서식만 확인된 지역은 17개 지역이었다. 붉은귀거북의 전체 그리고 성체만의 개체수는 번식지가 유의미하게 많았다(P<0.001). 붉은귀거북의 번식이 이루어지는 서식지 주변의 토지 피복의 경우, 밭의 비율이 뚜렷하게 높았지만(P<0.001), 비번식지에서는 뚜렷한 차이가 나타나지 않았다(P>0.05). 한편, 붉은귀거북의 번식지와 비번식지 간의 기후적인 차이는 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않았으며(P>0.05), 어떠한 기후 요소도 붉은귀거북의 번식과 관련되지 않았다(P>0.05). 본 연구의 결과를 통해 제주도 내에서는 붉은귀거북의 번식에는 서식지 주변의 토지 피복 즉 번식 가능한 환경의 존재가 중요하다는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 붉은귀거북이 발견되는 서식지의 주변 환경을 우선적으로 파악하는 것은 번식과 확산을 제어를 위한 효과적인 방법이 될 것이다.

Nest density was determined and tree and soil characteristics around Nycticorax nycticorax breeding sites and non-breeding sites on Bamsum Island in Seoul were analyzed from May 2005 to October 2006 to identify breeding site preferences of N. nycticorax and the effects of N. nycticorax nesting density on nesting tree structure and soil characteristics. N. nycticorax preferred trees of low height ($3.5{\sim}6$ m) and small diameter at breast height in high density Salix communities. Excrement of heron juveniles was dropped on the soil under the nests. The soil nutrient content under nests (P: 126.0 mg/kg, N: 202.8 mg/kg, EC: 549 ${\mu}S/cm$, pH 4.7) was much higher than that of control soils from Bamsum Island not enriched by heron excrement (P: 41.5 mg/kg, N: 42.0 mg/kg, EC: 342 ${\mu}S/cm$, pH 5.1). Formation of Salix communities on the shores of Bamsum Island is ongoing, and their structure has been directly influenced by annual flooding. After flooding, the nutrient content differences between heron-affected soils and control soils were not significant. This might be the reason that Salix communities on Bamsum were not affected by nesting herons as in other terrestrial communities where herons nest. This result indicates that flooding plays an important role in sustaining Salix communities on Bamsum Island where herons nest. The results of this study may increase understanding of N. nycticorax breeding behavior which may be useful for conservation planning.
