  • Glycosmis kanburiensis (Rutaceae) from Kanchanaburi Province, southwestern Thailand is described as a new species. It is similar to G. esquirolii (H. Lév.) Tanaka in its dendriform habit, terminal inflorescences, and large leaflets, but several easily recognizable differences in floral features, including triangular sepals with rust-colored indumentum (vs. broadly ovate villose sepals), globose, glabrous (vs. subglobose, villosus) ovary, cylindrical and attenuate (vs. stout) style, and ellipsoid (vs. globose) fruit. A taxonomic description, illustration, photographs, geographical distribution, ecological data, and conservation status are provided.

  • Neosiphonia japonica is a rhodomelacean red alga that occurs in Korea, Japan, China, far-east Russia, northwest America, and New Zealand. Although it is distinguished by a bush-like habit having four pericental cells with cortication and numerous branches on axes, the taxonomy of N. japonica is still problematic. To investigate the taxonomy and phylogeny of the species, we analyzed rbcL and phycoerythrin (cpeA/B) genes from 19 samples of N. japonica and putative relatives. Phylogenetic trees from both genes show that N. japonica from Korea, Japan, New Zealand, and USA is clearly separated from N. decumbens, N. harlandii, and N. flavimarina from the Pacific Ocean. Instead, N. harveyi from the Atlantic Ocean was more related to N. flavimarina than to N. japonica. This result supports morphological and distributional differences between N. japonica and N. harveyi. However, the close relationship between these species suggests that they might have a recent most common ancestor. This is the second report to use the cpeA/B gene for evaluating species diversity in the Rhodophytes.

  • The goal of this study is to analyze accidents occurred at experimental laboratory and to suggest hierarchical taxonomy applicable to prepare countermeasures reducing the experimental laboratory accidents. Recent 5 years accidents were analyzed and classified according to their primary cause, facility or human. Then in case of facility, the accidents were further classified whether they can be fixed by organization or by individual. In case of human factor, they were classified into physical, chemical, or biological to prepare precise measures. Depending on the adequacy of appropriate practice, several measures were suggested such as; whether to improve training of laboratory workers, or to improve training the system, or to improve or prepare practice substantially. A new taxonomy for laboratory accident was suggested complying other governmental agencies' classification such as KOSHA and KGS. Additionally, two kinds of possibilities were suggested such as possibility of major accident and possibility of disaster which can be defined as laboratory accident causing large scale of harmful consequence to residential area or environment by fire, explosion and/or toxic release of hazardous chemicals and/or microbiology.

  • Algal genomics approaches provide a massive number of genome/transcriptome sequences and reveal the evolutionary history vis-à-vis primary and serial endosymbiosis events that contributed to the biodiversity of photosynthetic eukaryotes in the eukaryote tree of life. In particular, phylogenomic methods using several hundred or thousands of genes have provided new insights into algal taxonomy and systematics. Using this method, many novel insights into algal species diversity and systematics occurred, leading to taxonomic revisions. In addition, horizontal gene transfers (HGTs) of functional genes have been identified in algal genomes that played essential roles in environmental adaptation and genomic diversification. Finally, algal genomics data can be used to address the pangenome, including core genes shared among all isolates and partially shared strain-specific genes. However, some aspects of the pangenome concept (genome variability of intraspecies level) conflict with population genomics concepts, and the issue is closely related to defining species boundaries using genome variability. This review suggests a desirable future direction to merge algal pangenomics and population genomics beyond traditional molecular phylogeny and taxonomy.

  • The bdelloids collected from various terrestrial habitats such as mosses, lichens, mushrooms on tree trunks, leaf litter and soil at four different locations in Korea were investigated. Five bdelloids new to Korea were identified: Macrotrachella inermis Donner, 1965, Macrotrachela magna Schulte, 1954, Macrotrachela oblita Donner, 1949, Habrotrocha eremita (Bryce, 1894) and Habrotrocha schultei Donner, 1965. All these rotifers except M. inermis are new to Asia as well. Remarkably, these five Korean new records included four rare species with poorly known distributions. M. magna and H. schultei are recorded outside their type localities for the first time. M. oblita has been reported only from five European countries, and M. inermis has been known from three European countries and Eastern Turkey before the present study. The taxonomy and distribution of each rare bdelloid are discussed here.

  • The International Committee for Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), which was formed over 30 years ago, aims to develop a single, universal taxonomic scheme for all viruses or, in other words, "the classification of viruses and the assignment of names to taxa". Plant Virus taxonomy is in charge of Plant Virus Subcommittee, a substructure of the ICTV. The ICTV has been most successfully pursuing that aim and its mammoth 'Seventh Report' records details of the names it has collated and approved, and of the classification, it has devised. The current 7th ICTV report published in 2000 contains plant viruses of 951 species in 79 genera in 17 families, though 24 of the 79 genera are floating genera, that is, they are not included in any established families. Proposed name of new or existing viruses are vote for the accepted taxonomic proposals by ICTV Executive Committee meeting. The approved results have been published as the ICTV reports providing standard names and taxa of viruses all over the world. A number of new plant viruses have been identified or reclassified in the genus or species level, and new genera and families have been proposed.(중략)

  • The expansion of internet technology has made convenience. On the one hand various malicious code is produced. The number of malicious codes occurrence has dramadically increasing, and new or variant malicious code circulation very serious, So it is time to require analysis about malicious code. About malicious code require set criteria for judgment, malicious code taxonomy using Algorithm of weakness difficult to new or variant malicious code taxonomy but already discovered malicious code taxonomy is effective. Therefore this paper of object is various malicious code analysis besides new or variant malicious code type or form deduction using visualization of strong. Thus this paper proposes a malicious code analysis and grouping method using visualization.

  • In Soil Taxonomy system, anthropogenic soils are still classified as Entisols since the International Classification Committee for Anthropogenic Soils is in the process of classifying anthropogenic soils as new orders. In reality, it is difficult to characterize anthropogenic soils because Soil Taxonomy (ST) system does not distinguish between natural and anthropogenic Entisols. On the other hand, World Reference Base for soil resources (WRB) considers human impacts on soils and contains an independent category of anthropogenic soils, which makes easier to understand anthropogenic soil characteristics than Soil Taxonomy system. A remodeled paddy field (Gasan) was selected to classify by ST and WRB. Soil samples were taken to analyze chemical and physical properties. Based on the results of the analyses, the ST system classified Gasan as coarse loamy, mixed, mesic, Aquic Udorthents while the WRB did as Stagnic Urbic Technosols (Oxyaquic, Arenic). As a conclusion, the WRB classification information of the anthropogenic provides more detail characteristics of the anthropogenic soils.
