This study was conducted to classify 80 Artemisia spp. collections based on morphological characters and RAPD analysis to get the basic information of Artemisia spp. collections as medicinal plants. The eighty Artemisia spp. collections were classified into 5 groups with the maximum distance 0.82 between clusters based on the complete linkage cluster analysis with morphological traits. Out of 80 operon primer, 10 primers showing polymorphic bands were selected for RAPD analysis. Among the 98 bands amplified with the primers, 68 (69%) bands showed polymorphism. The number of amplified bands ranged from 8 to 10 with an average number of 9.8 bands. Artemisia spp. collections classified into 6 groups with the similarity value of 0.63 in dendrogram derived from the cluster analysis based on RAPDs. Group consisted of 29 collections. Group, which is the largest one, contained 40 collections. Most of the A. asiatica and A. feddei LEV et VNT. were classified into Group and. The rest of the collections (31%) were classified into Group $III{\sim}V$.

The re-identification of two Korean tonguefishes, Cynoglossus interruptus and Symphurus orientalis, was carried out using eight specimens collected from Korean waters in 2007 and 2013. C. interruptus is characterized by having a single row of scales between rows connected to the supraorbital line and the middle lateral line, 107–113 dorsal fin rays, 86–89 anal fin rays, and 53–55 vertebrae. S. orientalis is characterized by having a 1-2-2-2-2 ID pattern, 97–100 dorsal fin rays, 83–89 anal fin rays, and 52–55 vertebrae. Molecular analysis using mitochondrial DNA Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I sequences showed that specimens of the two species corresponded well to Japanese C. interruptus and Taiwanese S. orientalis, respectively. Therefore, although several reports have raised questions regarding the distribution of C. interruptus and S. orientalis in Korean waters, morphological and molecular data confirm that these two species are indeed distributed in these waters.

Barley varieties collected from 1940 to 1951 allover the Korean peninsula by Dr. Takahashi Ryuhei were reintroduced from the Research Institute for Bioresouces in Okayama University, Japan, and the evaluation of morphological characteristics and RAPD analysis were performed. Totally, 493 varieties of Korean barley landraces were planted in the green house, from which seeds of 491 varieties were harvested and conserved in the seedbank of the Rural Development Administration. Majority of the naked barley varieties showed dense spikes with long awn, late heading, winter habits, and long plant height. However, variants having various phenotypes such as short awn, blue aleurone color, brachytic type and waxyness were also identified. Plant height, spike length, and cold-tolerance in the varieties were also highly variable among them. Homogeneity tests on the variation of growth habits, spike density, anthocyanin pigmentation on the seed coat, and hairiness on leaf sheath between naked and covered barley showed that the variations of naked barley were similar to those of covered barley. It maybe indicate that the most of naked barley landraces were mutated from the covered barley landraces. Korean landraces of naked barley were broadly divided into 4 groups by the dendrogram produced by morphological characteristics; however, the identities of the group were rather indistinct. Many varieties, belonged to the same group, were showed different band patterns in RAPD analysis using 5 different primer sets. These results indicate that the 112 varieties of naked barley landraces were different genotypes.

To better understand the morphological variation of the Perilla crop and their weedy types in East and Southeast Asia, we studied the morphological variation of 90 accessions by examining 10 morphological characteristics, such as flowering time, seed size, seed hardness, seed color, color of surface leaf, color of reverse side leaf etc. As a result, morphological variation determined that between cultivated var. frutescens and var. crispa, and between cultivated var. frutescens and its weedy type showed significant morphological differences in terms of seed size and seed hardness, whenever cultivated var. crispa and its weedy type could not showed significant differences in most morphological characters. In PCAs (principal component analysis), among 10 morphological characteristics, flower color (QL6), color of surface leaf (QL3), seed size (QN2), seed hardness (QL1), seed color (QL2), stem color (QL7), and color of reverse side leaf (QL4) contributed in negative direction on the first axis, while flowering time (QN1), leaf shape (QL5), and degree of pubescence (QL8) contributed in positive direction on the first axis. Among these morphological characters, particularly flower color (QL6), color of surface leaf (QL3), seed size (QN2), seed hardness (QL1), and degree of pubescence (QL8) were useful characters for discrimination between cultivated var. frutescens and weedy var. crispa, and between cultivated var. frutescens and its weedy type. However, most accession of cultivated and weedy types of var. crispa was not clearly discriminated by PCA analyses. Although the wild ancestral species of var. frutescens and of var. crispa are still unknown in East and Southeast Asia, the weedy types of Perilla crop may be the key taxon for our understanding of the origin of cultivated types of var. frutescens and var. crispa.

This study was carried out to investigate the morphological properties and pyrrolizidine alkaloids of comfrey cultivating in Korea. 12 comfrey samples cultivation in Korea was selected and their appearance (whole plant, leaves, root etc.) were observed by expert and microscopy for morphological analysis. It is confirmed that their species are Symphytum officinale Linnaeus. Samples were extracted by hot MeOH and ultra-sonification. Their extracts contained pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which was identified by TLC analysis. By spraying thin-layer chromatograms of pyrrolizidine alkaloids stable purple spots were developed. But the extracts of chicory, pumpkin and sesame leaves did not show any purple spots. Same HPLC pattern were displayed at about 30 min of retention show peaks an one and the same time.

Creation and Sharing of information which is structured data as well as various unstructured data. makes progress actively through the spread of mobile. Recently, Big Data extracts the semantic information from SNS and data mining is one of the big data technique. Especially, the general emotion analysis that expresses the collective intelligence of the masses is utilized using large and a variety of materials. In this paper, we propose the emotion prediction system architecture which extracts the significant keywords from social network paragraphs using n-gram and Korean morphological analyzer, and predicts the emotion using SVM and these extracted emotion features. The proposed system showed 82.25% more improved recall rate in average than previous systems and it will help extract the semantic keyword using morphological analysis.

This paper proposes a method for the automatic word spacing of unsegmented Korean sentences. In our method, eojeol monograms are used for word spacing as opposed to the syllable n-grams that have been used in previous studies. The use of a Korean morphological analyzer is limited to the correction of typical word spacing errors. Our method gives a 98.06% syllable accuracy and a 94.15% eojeol recall, when 10-fold cross-validated with the Sejong corpus, after filtering out non-hangul eojeols. The processing rate is 250K eojeols or 1.8 MB per second on a typical personal computer. Syllable accuracy and eojeol recall are related to the size of the eojeol dictionary, better performance is expected with a bigger corpus.

The Erythropeltidales are a common group of small, mostly epiphytic, marine red algae. However, they are little known in Korea. Many of the described species of Erythropeltidales differ subtly in morphology, and often the morphological differences are due to the substrate or environmental changes. Integration of molecular data with standardized culture conditions has been recommended to account for these algae. A Madagascaria species was first collected from the western coast of Korea and was identified as Madagascaria erythrocladioides based on the morphological and molecular characteristics. Morphological characteristics conformed well with its original description, and the phylogenetic analysis based on rbcL sequence showed Korean M. erythrocladioides nests in the same clade with the original species described in Japan with a genetic distance of 0.0-0.1%. This species was isolated from a red alga, Pterocladiella capillacea, in laboratory culture. The thallus ontogeny and host preference were examined by a co-culture with 13 different species of algae. Results showed a relatively broad host preference in mono-spore attachment and epiphyte development of Madagascaria erythrocladioides. Mono-spores of M. erythrocladioides attached to most of the red algal hosts' surfaces but no crustose thalli developed on some of the algal hosts even after one month of co-culture.

Tanaka’s snailfish, Liparis tanakae (Gilbert and Burke, 1912), is distributed throughout the coasts of Korea. To clarify the population structure of L. tanakae, we analyzed the morphological and genetic variation among individuals sampled from three localities surrounding the Korean peninsula: Boryeong in the Yellow Sea, Jinhae in the Korea Strait and Pohang in the East Sea. Principal component analysis based on 20 morphometric characteristics revealed two slightly distinct groups (Boryeong vs. Jinhae and Pohang). However, canonical discriminant analysis clearly revealed three groups, separated according to locality. Pairwise differentiation index (F_ST) comparisons based on 762-base pairs mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences showed that Boryeong significantly differed from Jinhae and Pohang, but Jinhae and Pohang did not significantly differ from each other. Our findings suggest that Korean L. tanakae comprise at least two groups. Further studies using more sensitive DNA markers, such as microsatellite DNA, are required.

Wheat is one of the world's most important crop species. Recently, abnormal climate changes directly influence on the significant reduction of wheat productivity in the world. This threaten allow breeders to find new genetic resources. Wheat is one of the widely grown crops in the world. Individual cultivars / germplasm is adapted in that region where the climate is unique to each other. Therefore, introducing new genetic resources which was good in one place may better perform in another region. In this study, we evaluated germplasm in Korean environment and measured numerous agro-morphological characteristics. Information that are provided by the National Agrobiodiversity Center (Jeonju, Korea) and National Plant Germplasm System (Aberdeen, USA) were included in the analysis. Cluster analysis was performed using the unweight pair-group method of averages. The results of PCA indicated principal discriminatory characteristics of wheat landraces and varieties. Significant differences indicated high variability among the quantitative traits. Cluster analysis results showed that the groups were divided by geological climate condition. The preliminary evaluation of germplasms in Korean environment would help to develop wheat cultivars via providing useful genetic traits that are resided in alien germplasms.
