In the present study, we have examined the crossability of four species in the A. jaluense complex to provide additional information on their delimitation and levels of differentiation. Crosses between diploid A. chiisanense and the tetraploid species including A. jaluense s. str., A. triphyllum, and A. pseudoproliferum yielded no fruit- or seed-set, indicating that the former species is reproductively completely isolated from the latter three species. In interspecific crosses between the tetraploid species, combinations involving A. jaluense s. str. resulted in much reduced fruit- and seed-set, indicating that A. jaluense s. str. is more or less reproductively isolated from the other tetraploid species. However, crossing data revealed the absence of reproductive isolation between A. triphyllum and A. pseudoproliferum These results strongly support the relationships that have been previously suggested for the A. jaluense complex on the basis of morphology, chromosome number, and flavonoid chemistry.

The number of chronosomes and karyotypes in eight species of the family Bradybaenidae were analyzed by air-drying method using gonad. The mitotic haploid chromosome numbers of Acusta despecta sieboldiana were 29 and conisisted of 12 pairs metacentric, 17 pairs submetacentric chromosomes. The mitotic haploid chromosomes were 29 and 11 pairs metacentric and 17 pairs submetacentric and 1 pair telocentric chromosomes in Koreanohadra kurodana; 29 and 10 pairs metacentric chromosomes in K. koreana' 29 and 10 pairs metacentric and 18 pairs submetacentric, and 1 pair acrocentric chromosomes in Karaftohelix adamsi; 28and 10 pairs metacentric, and 18 pairs submetacintric chromosomes in Aegista chosenica; 28 and 14 pairs metacentric and 14 pairs submetacentric chromosomes in A.(Plectotropis) diversa; 28 and 15 pairs metacentric, 10 pairs submetacentric and 3 pairs acrocentric chromosomes in A. (p.)quelpartinsis; 29 and 12 pairs metacentric and 9 pairs submetacentric and 2 pairs telocentric chromosomes in Nesiohelix samarangae.

Cytogenetic features of three ascidian species were studied with specimens obtained from Korean coastal areas. The gonadal tissue was processed in order to obtain mitotic and meiotic chromosomes. The chromosome numbers of Amaroucium pliciferum turned out to be 2n=26 and n=l3 with 2sm, 3st, 8t and Halocynthia roretzi to be 2n=16 and n=8 with 6m, 2t. Diploid number of chromosomes in Dendrodoa aggregata was 64 with 32t. The karyotypes of these Korean ascidians were reported for the first time.

Present studies were carried out to produce tetraploid plants by colchicine treatment using seeds, seedlings and shoot tips of Codonopsis lanceolata. Three tetraploid plants of C. lanceolata were produced from seeds which absorbed 0.1 % colchicine solution for 12 hours, and 0.5% colchicine solution for 1 and 6 hours from seedlings, respectively. But tetraploid was not produced from shoot tips treated by colchicine solution. Compared to diploid, tetraploid plants had larger stomata, but less number of stomata. Fresh weight of tetraploid plants was 1.4∼3.6 times heavier than diploid plants.

Present studies were carried out to produce tetraploid plants by colchicine treatment using seeds, seedlings and shoot tips of Platycodon grandiflorum in Campanulaceae. The most successful colchicine treatment for tetraploid production in P. grandiflorum was soaking treatment using 0.01 and 0.5% colchicine solution for 1 hour and 12 hours, respectively. Morphological characteristics of both diploid and tetraploid were similar, but tetraploid plants had more leaves. Compared to diploid, tetraploid had the larger stomata, but less number of stomata. Fresh weight of tetraploids was 20∼40% heavier than that of diploid.

한국산 박새속 조류 Porus major(박새), Porus atter(진박새), Porus poiustris(쇠박새), Parus varius(곤줄박이)의 핵형을 일반염색 방법으로 분석한 결과 4종의 염색체 수는 모두 2n=78∼80으로 나타났고, 성 염색체를 포함한 7쌍이 macrochromosome, 그 외 32∼33쌍이 microchromosome이었다. 종간 차이를 나타내는 염색체는 5번째 염색체와성염색체인 Z·W-염색체였다. 이러한 핵형의 차이는 5번째 염색체에서는 pericentric inversion, 성 염색체에서는 전좌에 의한 것으로 생각된다. The chromosomal analysis of Pows major, Paws after, Paws palustris and Paws vorius of the genus Paws in Korea were performed by conventional Giemsa staining method. The diploid number of four species were 2n=78-80, and there were 7 pairs of macrochromosomes and 32 or 33 pairs of microchromosomes. The 5th and Z·W-chromosomeswere distinctly different between interspecies. Probably these karyological differences were speculated by pericentric inversion in 5th chromosome and translocation in Z·W-chromosomes.

In this paper, we propose a novel design method for improving performance of existing FCM-type clustering algorithms. First, we define the performance measure which focuses on bothcompactness and separation of clusters. Next, we optimize this measure using evolution program.Especially the proposed method has following merits: ① using evolution program, it solves suchproblems as initialization, number of clusters, and convergence to local optimum ② it reduces searchspace and improves convergence speed of algorithm since it represents chromosome with possiblepotential centers which are selected possible candidates of centers by density measure ③ it improvesperformance of clustering algorithm with the performance index which embedded both compactnessand separation Properties ④ it is robust to noise data since it minimizes its effect on center search.

Allium ulleungense (subg. Anguinum, Amaryllidaceae), from Ulleungdo Island, Korea, is described as a new species. It is clearly distinguished from its close relatives, A. microdictyon and A. ochotense, by its broader leaves and larger whitish perianth and by its diploid chromosome number, which is 2n = 2x = 16. The lengths of the chromosomes range from 11.3 to 15.75 ㎛. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using nuclear and chloroplast markers also clearly indicate that A. ulleungense is genetically distinct from other species of the subg. Anguinum.

Present work was attempted to investigate the karyotype, the reciprocal translocation of chromosomes and the geographical distribution of three Paeonia species grown wild in Korea with the aim of elucidating the taxonomical affinities of the species. Prior to conducting these works, it was required to clarify the karyotypes of the cultivated varieties of P. albiflora which has been grown since long time ago in this coundtry for medicinal value. Present report is part of the series of karyotype studies now being extensively conducted using varieties (or lines) of P. albiflora collected across the country. Arm ratio, number of trabant, kind of trabant chromosomes and karyotype formula are different among the six cultivated varieties. Excepting one, five varieties used had invariably trabants on D and E chromosomes while no trabant was found in C chromosome.

Intergeneric crossings between the inbred line of Brassica pekinensis var. Chongbangkokun and inbred line of Raphanus sativus var. Oolsanjaelae were made using Brassica as female plant, and obtained two individuals of intergeneric hybrids. Morphological characters of the two F1 hybrids are mostly intermediate of the two parental species, and their somatic chromosome number is 19. Meiotic behaviors of the parental plants were normal, while those of F1 plants were extremely irregular. The mean pairing frequencies per cell of hybrids are 1.09II＋16.811(examined in May), and 1.76II＋15.47i(examined in June). Majority of the pollen grain of parent species are normal, whereas those of F1's are invariably abortive. No seed setting was obtained in the hybrid plants left in the open field.
