  • To acquaint correct information about the fertilizability and analyze S-allele based genetic diversity among Korean apples, we investigated self-incompatibility genotypes by PCR and cross-pollination tests in field. As a consequence, S-genotypes of Korean apples were distributed within narrow genetic diversity as $S_1S_3$ for 'Hongro' and 'Saenara'; $S_1S_9$ for 'Gamhong' and 'Manbok'; $S_3S_5$ for 'Seokwang'; $S_3S_9$ for 'Sunhong', 'Seohong', 'Chukwang', and 'Hwahong'. Coupled with cross-pollination experiments in field, our results provide support for the view that apples are fully compatible when both of their S-loci differ and semi-compatible when they carry one different and one identical S-locus. Furthermore, the results of this study indicate that S-alleles have to be extended to various genotypes for Korean apple breeding.

  • A new grafted cactus cultivar, called 'Hwangseon', Gymnocalycium mihanovichii, is a hybrid crossed between two orange color cultivars 'Geoseong' and 'Huhwang'. Mating was performed in the greenhouse of National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science (NIHHS) in 2005. The harvested seeds were sown at 100 mL volumetric flasks filled with 'Kyoto' medium. Seedling had been grafted into a young rootstock, Hylocereus trigonus, and cultured in vitro in 100 mL test tube for more than six months. After re-grafting and planting in the green house in 2006, their characteristics were evaluated three times until 2009. The new cultivar has a flat round shape and bright yellow skin color. In addition, it has 7 to 9 ribs with gray and straight spines on the body and produces an average of 12.3 offsets.

  • Fungus gnats are usually found in mushroom farm and have recently become important pest because they can cause severe damage and reduce the production on shiitake mushroom. Usually shiitake mushrooms are cultivated on both oak bed logs and in the artificial sawdust beds in greenhouses. Using yellow sticky trap, the dipteran species in shiitake mushroom farm were collected from May to September in Kyonggi-do and Chungcheong-do in 2013. To identify the main species of fungus gnat on the shiitake farm in Korea, the collected samples were determined the sequence of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) by DNA barcoding. The phylogeny based on maximum likelihood analyses from COI sequence showed that Bradysia difformis and B. alpicola were main species of shiitake bed log and Scatopsidae sp. and B. difformis were dominant species of sawdust beds.
