The European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubner) has been known as only one species of genus Ostrinia in Korea. After Mutuura and Munroe(1970) revised the genus Ostrinia, the name of the corn stem borer in Korea has been very confused. The critical examination of the external morphology and the genitalia revealed that species of the genus Ostrinia occurring in Korea are O. fyrbacakus (Guenee, O. scapulalis (Walker), O. zaguliaevi Mut. & Mun. and O. zealis (Guenee)

(Z)-12-Tetradecen-1-yl acetate (1), (E)-12-tetradecen-1-yl acetate (2) and tetradecan-1-yl acetate (3), the active components of the sex pheromone of the Asian Corn Borer moth were synthesized by two different methods, one from acetylene and 11-bromo-1-undecanol THP ether by acetylenic route, the other from 12-acetoxy-1-dodecanal and ethylidenetriphenylphosphonium ylide by Wittig route.

This study was carried out to select the effective insecticides for control of Ostrinia furnacalis(Guenee) in Yonchon, northern part of Kyunggi province, where is main producing region of adlay in Korea. The Asian corn borer in adlay field had three generations a year. The first stage of adult activity was higher from late May to middle June, the second from late July to early August and the third late September. Based on difference in control value, the relative ranks of some insecticides were lambda cyhalothrin EC > cartap hydrochloride GR > carbaryl EC. In control value by different application timing of Lambda cyhalothrin EC, yields were significantly different, that is, twice applications on second generation showed the control value of $90.6%{\sim}93.5%$. Unhulled grain yield on Lambda cyhalothrin EC treated plot on second generation was higher than that in untreatred plot by 82%.

Field experiments were carried out to establish economic threshold for com borer (Ostrinia furnacalis (Guen$\'{e}$e)) on waxy com plants by examining the number of adult insects caught in pheromone traps and the injury levels of waxy com which were artificially controlled. Adult com borers were lured into the pheromone traps during the whole growth period in five areas in Gangwon province including Chuncheon. The number of com borers trapped was the greatest in Chuncheon followed by Cheolwon and Hongcheon, and the same trend was observed for injury level of waxy com. Based on marketable yield data of waxy com plants related to the artificially-controlled injury levels at tassel stage, spray threshold was determined as the injury level of 11~15%, where the injury of com plants exceeded the economically admitting level.

Background: The lepidopteran Asiatic corn borer (ACB), Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenee), has caused huge economic losses throughout the Asian-Western Pacific region. Usually, chemical pesticides are used for the control, but excessive use of pesticides has caused great harm. Therefore, the inartificial ecotypic pesticides to ACB are extremely essential. In our previous study, we found that panaxadiol saponins (PDS) can effectively reduce the harm of ACB by causing antifeedant activity. Therefore, it is necessary to reveal the biological molecular changes in ACB and the functionary mechanism of PDS. Methods: We analyzed the global transcription of ACB with different PDS concentration treatment (5 mg/mL, 10 mg/mL, and 25 mg/mL) by high-throughput sequencing and de novo transcriptome assembly method. Results: PDS treatment could cause the changes of many gene expressions which regulate its signal pathways. The genes in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway were significantly downregulated, and then, the downstream fatty acid degradation pathway had also been greatly affected. Conclusion: Through this experiment, we hypothesized that the occurrence of antifeedant action of ACB is because the PDS brought about the downregulation of FATP and FABP, the key regulators in the PPAR, and the downregulation of FATP and FABP exerts further effects on the expression of SCD-1, ACBP, LPL, SCP-X, and ACO, which leads to the disorder of PPAR signaling pathway and the fatty acid degradation pathway. Not only that, PDS treatment leads to enzyme activity decrease by inhibiting the expression of genes associated with catalytic activity, such as cytochrome P450 and other similar genes.

We investigated the occurrence pattern of the Asian Corn Borer, Ostrinia furnacalis in job's tears, and we tested the field control effects of 5 insecticides and 3 eco-friendly materials. Adults of O. furnacalis began to occur in May and have passed three generations until the end of October. As results of the field test, five insecticides (novaluron, lufenuron, spinetoram, cyclaniliprole, flufenoxuron) and three eco-friendly materials (gosam extracts 90%, neem extracts 60%, citronella oil 30 + derris extracts 20 + cinnamon extracts 10%) showed high control effects against O. furnacalis in two different areas, and no phytotoxicity even at double dose of pesticides.

Glucose, trehalose, and glycogen content were measured in haemolymph and the body during larval development of the oriental corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis ($Guen\'{e}e$). Glucose content varied in haemolymph, but in the body it gradually decreased at all larval stages. As the larva proceeds growth, the initial high level of trehalose increased further in haemolymph whereas the low level trehalose gradually decreased in the body. Glycogen levels in haemolymph rose gradually during larval growth whereas those in the body increased sharply at the two latter instar larval stages. It is apparent that the existence of a homeostasis in carbohydrate levels between haemolymph ana the body.

This study was carried out to investigate the bionomics of Ostrinia furnacalis $(Gu\grave{e}n\grave{e}e)$ in the laboratory and field in 1978. The oriental corn borer had three generations a year in Korea ana the first period of moth activity was mostly from early June to early July, the second from mid July to mid August and the third from mid August to early September. It overwintered with larval stage in the corn stubbles. The egg period was 3-4 days. The larva molted 5-6 times and its period was 18-30 days. The longevity of adult was 7-11 days and deposited about 600-800 eggs. An egg parasite and two larval parasites were investigated.

This study was carried out to investigate the occurrence and ecological characteristics of Ostrinia furnacalis(Guenee) in Yonchon, northern part of Kyonggi province, where it is main production region of adlay in Korea. The Asian corn borer in adlay field had three generations a year. The first stage of adult activity was greatest from middle May to late June, the second from late July to middle August and the third from late August to middle September. The egg period was $3{\sim}4$ days. The longevity of adult was $7{\sim}11$ days. The days of each development stage from egg to adult were $51{\sim}61$, $33{\sim}42$ and $29{\sim}37$ days in 1st, 2nd and 3rd generations, respectively. The overwintering stage of Asian corn borer was the last instar larvae and it overwintered in the adlay stubbles.

A new waxy corn hybrid 'Daedukchal 1' was developed from single cross between CNU 504 and CNU 2396 at Chungnam National University in 2007. Inbred CNU 504 used as a seed parent and inbred CNU 2396 as a pollen parent were collected throughout domestic regions. Tasseling date of this hybrid was seven days later than that of check hybrid, 'Chalok 1'. 'Daedukchal 1' was 19.7 cm in ear length and 4.5 cm in ear diameter. On yield trial, ear length of this hybrid was increased 29.7% compared with a check hybrid, 'Chalok 1'. 'Daedukchal 1' had white kernels and good eating quality due to high sugar content and thinner pericarp. The ratio of kernel set length/ear length was similar to 'Chalok 1'. It is moderately resistant to southern leaf blight and northern leaf blight but susceptible to corn borer. The yields of 'Daedukchal 1' in fresh ear weight and in number of fresh ear were 16% and 8%, respectively, higher than those of a check hybrid in regional yield trials for two years. Seed production for this hybrid was better because of the consistency of tasseling dates.
