A 12-years-old Maltese (castrated male) dog with jaundice and purulent discharge from the shoulder was referred to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Chungnam National University. A physical and laboratory examination revealed that the mucosa of the conjunctiva and the sclera were icteric, and the liver functional enzyme level and the total bilirubin level were increased. Duodenal caudal deviation caused by suspected masses in diameter of about 2 cm was shown by radiographic and ultrasonographic examinations. Using fine needle aspiration (FNA) and computed tomography (CT), the dog was diagnosed with alimentary lymphoma. The dog was treated with chemotherapy. Hematuria was discovered and dysuria occurred because of sterile hemorrhagic cystitis, which is a unique complication resulting from the use of cyclophosphamide.

A four-year old, indoor-living neutered male Old English Bulldog was presented for generalized ulcerative dermatitis. Generalized alopecia and multifocal papules and ulcers with crusting were observed mainly in the dorsal trunk. Cytology of the skin lesions revealed a pyogranulomatous inflammation comprising macrophages and nondegenerate neutrophils. Histopathology also revealed a nodular dermatitis characterized by mixed infiltration of monocytes and neutrophils involving the superficial and deep dermis. Neither of bacteria nor fungus was identified in microscopic exam and culture. From those findings, a diagnosis of cutaneous sterile pyogranuloma/granuloma syndrome (SPGS) was made. Treatment with immunosuppressive drugs of prednisone and cyclosporine was performed and visible ulcerative skin lesions were resolved after 4 weeks of initiation of therapy. Treatment with combination of cyclosporine and prednisone may be effective for the case of SPGS.

The striped fruit fly, Zeugodacus scutellata, is endemic in Korea, but it has been regarded as one of the serious quarantine pests throughout the world. Sterile insect release technique (SIT) has been used to eradicate quarantine fruit flies. This study developed a technique to generate sterile males and applied SIT to control Z. scutellata. First of all, the reproductive systems of Z. scutellata adults were examined with fluorescent microscope. Polytrophic ovaries comprises of around 100 follicles with developing oocytes. Each follicle contains an oocyte with several nurse cells and are surrounded with follicular epithelium. Oocyte development began at 10 days after adult emergence (DAE) and formed chorionated oocytes after 20 DAE. On the other hand, male testes were well developed just after adult emergence. The vas deferens was filled with motile sperms. To generate sterile males, different doses (0~1,000 Gy) doses of electron beam were irradiated to 3~5 days old pupae of Z. scutellata. When male pupae were irradiated with electron beam at 200 Gy, they developed and mated with females without any significant difference compared to untreated males. Although the untreated females mated with the 200 Gy-irradiated males laid eggs, no eggs did not hatch. The 200 Gy-irradiated males were then applied to untreated male and female flies in a density ratio of 1:9 (untreated males : treated males). The laid eggs suffered significant infertility. These results suggest that electron beam-irradiated pupae at 200 Gy resulted in male sterility and the resulting males would be applied to SIT.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the X-ray sterilization of house fly, Musca domestica when 3-5 days old pupae were irradiated. The results obtained were summerized as follows; 1) Sub-lethal dosage (LD50) for tile pupal mortality were 12.2-13.1 kRad. 2) Sterile dosage (SD90) showed 3. 1kRad in male and such low dosage appears adequate as a sterile dosage. 3) The mortality of male flies was significantly higher than in female at the doses of 4 and 5 kRad.

Among the 6 treatment of not topped and suckered, topped and not suckered, hand suckered, maleic hydrazide treated, fatty alcohol treated to normal Hyangcho, and male sterile line, yield and Quality by price was lower at not topped and suckered, topped and not suckered or male sterile line plot. The content of petroleum ether extracts and ash was lower in hand suckered, maleic hydrazide and fatty alcohol plot, but the trends of reducing sugar, nicotine, and pH were in reverse. Reducing sugar was higher, nicotine and pH was lower in maleic hydrazide plot than in hand suckered or fatty alcohol plot. Filling value and combustibility was lower in maleic hydrazide plot than in hand suckered.

The vein necrotic strain of Potato Virus Y (PVY - VN) and black shank (Phyto-phthora parasitica var. nicotianae) are the two major diseases causing severe damages especially in burley tobacco (N. tabacum L.) area in Korea. A new tobacco variety, KB 111, resistant to PVY and black shank disease, was developed by Korea Ginseng & Tobacco Research Institute in 1997. It is a male sterile(MS) F$_1$ hybrid of the cross between MS TC 613 and KB 108. KB 111 was compared to Burley 21 on the agronomic characteristics and disease resistances in performance tests: It possessed upright growth habit and flowered two days later than Burley 21. It was resistant to both PVY and black shank and yielded about 3% more cured leaf than Burley 21, but other characteristics are very simiar to those of Burley 21. The chemical composition and physical properties of the cured leaf of KB 111 were as much acceptable as those of Burley 21 while it produced average yield of good quality leaf and appeared to resistant to PVY and black shank disease on regional farm test in 1998.

To analyze the linkage relationships among molecular markers recently reported to be linked to onion (Allium cepa L.) Ms, a restorer-of-fertility locus, in onion (Allium cepa L.), three single nucleotide polymorphism markers were converted into cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers based on onion transcriptome sequences and the rice genome database. Analysis of the recombinants selected from 4,273 segregating plants using CAPS and other linked markers demonstrated the jnurf13 and jnurf610 markers to perfectly co-segregate with the Ms locus. In contrast to jnurf13, the jnurf610 marker was not in perfect linkage disequilibrium with the Ms locus in diverse breeding lines. Thus, the jnurf13 marker and the marker for identification of cytoplasm types were utilized to enhance the efficiency of onion breeding through four applications. First, 89 maintainer lines containing the normal cytoplasm and homozygous recessive Ms genotypes were successfully identified from 100 breeding lines. Second, these two molecular markers were used to analyze the main sources of male-fertile contaminants frequently found in the male-sterile parental lines during F1 hybrid seed production. The majority of the contaminants contained heterozygous Ms genotypes, indicating that pollen grains harboring the dominant Ms genotype may have been introduced during propagation of the maintainer lines. Therefore, the genetic purity of the two maintainer lines was analyzed in the third application, and the results showed that both maintainer lines contained 13-21% off-types. Finally, the two markers were used to increase the seed yield potentials of two open-pollinated varieties containing sterile cytoplasms by removing the plants harboring homozygous recessive and heterozygous Ms genotypes.

In Citrus, an $F_1$ segregation population of 150 plants was constructed from a cross between 'Kiyomi' (C. unshiu ${\times}$ C. sinensis) carrying the male sterility trait and 'Jinkyool' (C. sunki). Sequence-related amplification polymorphism (SRAP) combined with bulked segregant analysis was used to develop markers linked to male fertility. In the $F_1$ population, 66 out of 150 seedlings had aborted anthers and the ratio of male sterile plants to fertile plants in the progenies matched the expected Mendelian segregation ratio of 1:1 ($x^2$ =2.16 at p=0.05). From the profiling of the 197 SRAP primer sets, three SRAP primer sets (F4/R27, F39/R60, and F15/R37) that were closely linked to the target trait were identified and successfully converted into a sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker for selection of male fertility in citrus. The SCAR marker, using the pMS 33U/pMS 1462L primer set specifically, produced a single 1.4-Kb fragment that was linked to male fertility. Our results suggested that this SCAR marker can be useful for marker-assisted selection of male sterile individuals in breeding $F_1$ progenies in Citrus.

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the utilization of F, hybrids using cytoplasmic male sterility in Burley tobacco. Four cytoplasmic male sterile lines and their male-fertile counterparts and 21 Fi hybrids and their parents were evaluated for their agronomic performance in replicated field trials. Some F1 hybrids were comparable to Burley 21, the only Burley cultivar in Korea. Among 21 F1 hybrids, MS L8$\times$Burley 49 and three other hybrids showed 2-11% and 1-5% higher yield and price per kg than Burley 21, respectively.

We characterized the resistances such as to waterlogging, Phytophythora and viruses in hybrids between Italian and Korean mother lines and screened them for complex resistances and agronomic traits to select elite multi-resistant lines for hybrid breeding. Resistance to waterlogging was selectable due to diversity of the resistance. Phytophythora resistance introduced from Italian lines could also be combined with resistance to other diseases and restoration abilities from cytoplasmic male sterility that has been maintained in Korean varieties.
