The spontaneous bilateral asymmetry was analyzed in the hermaphroditic fish Rivulus marmoratus to obtain base line data on the developmental stability of this fish. The results obtained were as follows; 1. Eight kinds of countable anatomical characters except numbers of otolith and radii branchiostegi showed bilateral asymmetry at the frequency ranging from 9.8% to 64.7%. 2. Asymmetry index was not significantly different from that of gonochoristic fish species previously reported. Genetical implication of the results was discussed in relation to developmental stability and homozygosity of this species.

Clinical interest has lately been roused by evidence that comprehension of synaptic plasticity may be based on the theoretical opinion. This paper describes perception of synaptic plasticity. Especially processes of long term potentiation(LTP) and long term depression(LTD) are discussed. Recently, it is assessed to genetical parts from development of molecular biology. Therefore this review also represents aspect of molecular events of synaptic plasticity.

The evolution of the function concept was delineated in terms of the 17th and 18th Centuries' dependent nature of function, and the 19th and 20th Centuries' arbitrary and univalent nature of function. According to mathematics educators' beliefs about the value of the function concept in school mathematics, certain definitions of the concept tend to be emphasized. This study discusses three types - genetical (dependence), logical (settheoretical), analogical (machine/equations) - of definition of function and their values.

The emergence of extended spectrum $\beta$-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria is worldwide concern. Until recently, the most frequently identified strains in the Republic of Korea were E. coli and Klebsiella spp. The incidence of resistance to extended spectrum $\beta$-lactam antibiotics is increasing in Wonju city, Korea. Total 57 strains of ESBL producing E. coli and Klebsiella species were isolated from Wonju Christian Hospital during a 9 month-period from April to December, 2003. To determine the prevalence and genotypes of the ESBL producing clinical isolates, antibiotic susceptibility and ESBL activity test by VITEK system and double disk synergy (DDS) test, and PCR based genotyping were performed. Fourteen (82%) isolates of 17 ESBL producing E. coli were found to have $bla_{TEM}$ gene and 5 (29%) isolates were found to have $bla_{CTX-M}$ gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Thirty (75%) isolates of 40 ESBL producing Klebsiella species with $bla_{TEM}$ gene, 38 (95%) isolates with $bla_{SHV}$ gene, and 7 (20%) isolates with $bla_{CTX-M}$ type gene were also identified. Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) PCR and similarity index by dendrogram for genetical similarity to band pattern of each clinical isolates were examined. ESBL producing E. coli were grouped into 6 clusters up to 84% of similarity index and Klebsiella species were grouped into 12 clusters up to 76% of similarity index. In conclusion, ESBL producing clinical isolates were characterized with the results from antimicrobial resistance pattern and genetical similarity using ERiC PCR.

Phylogenetic analyses were carried out using four Indonesian native chicken breeds; Kampung, Bangkok, Pelung and Kedu. Gene frequencies of four blood group (A, B, D and E) and eight electrophoretic loci (akp, Akp-2, Es-1, Amy-1, Alb, Tf, Pas and Pa-1) were examined. Geographical and breed specific trends in the gene frequencies were not found in the local population of Kampung breed or in four native breeds. The values of average heterozygosity were estimated as 0.35-0.45. Genetic distances among the local populations of Kampung breed and other native breeds were comparatively small. In a cluster analysis, the Bangkok breed and Kampung E population showed distance from another cluster. The coefficient of gene differentiation for local populations of Kampung breed was estimated as 0.099.

The genus Salix is nowadays becoming increasingly important for both biomass energy production and the expanding paper industry. The enlarging plantations will however create some potential as well as problem. The great potential of genetical improvement as well as the prevention of pollen allergies requires knowledge about e.g, the pollen morphology of the most used Salix species. This study investigated the pollen morphology of Salix viminalis L. both on light microscope (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM).

The relativity of four isolates of C. polykrikoides was determined by comparative sequence analysis based on direct sequencing of PCR amplified ribosomal DNA (the internal transcribed spacer region and the 5.8S rDNA). Sequence comparisons indicated that four isolates had the same nucleotide sites in the ITS regions, as well as a total of 585 nucleotide length and 100% homology. The molecular data revealed that C. polykrikoides in Korean coastal waters show no genetical difference.

The recessive lethal mutation 'non-molting of Nho' (symbol, ㎚n) was founded on one preservation stocks. All dwarf larvae continued to eat a few mulberry leaves and very slightly increasing body-size over a 7 days, and then died without entering into molt. Linkage experiments showed that ㎚n was linked with Knob(K) on the 11th linkage group. Precise localization of the gene was performed by mating with ㎚ gene. This mutant was confirmed to be allelic with the ㎚ gene located on the same chromosome.

1. Author has surveyed the frequency, geographic variation and micro-geographic variation of the elytral pattern types and the elytral edge of the population of lady-beetle, Harmonia axyridis Pallace which was collected in Seoul and the other 6 localities in Korea. 2. The number of specimen collected were 3.051 in which succinea occupied 88.32 % : Axyridis, 1.00% : spectabilis, 6.145 : and Conspicua , 4.545. 3. Of all 84.80% were found to have elytral edge. 4. There was a little difference in compositional proportation of the above four types to population and in the frequency of elytral edge between the population of west seaside and that of inland of Korea. 5. An interesting micro-geographic variation was observed in Dae-Chun, a beach located on west seaside of south Korea. In this locality , the Succinea occupied 45.23% and 27.805 were found to be provided with elytral edge in the specimen collected in pine trees ( Pinus thunbergii Parlatore), while in the specimen collected in burley field, oak, willow etc. 92.00% were Succinea and 90.93% were found to have elytral edge.

The understanding on the plant genome is accelerated with the fast advance of molecular biological techniques. The molecular dissecting of the plant genome has made possible the precise genotyping the plants, which can be utilized for molecular breeding program. As well, the molecular cloning of genes interested can facilitate the process of gene transfer between intra-and inter-generic taxa. Moreover, the manipulation of the agronomically important QTL genes, which can be rarely performed by the conventional genetic methods, is also possible by the utilization of molecular markers. In addition to these genetical applications, molecular markers are useful in the areas of plant taxonomy and management of germplasm by fingerprinting analysis. This paper describes the theoretical aspects marker technologies and practical applications of each marker technique.
