Twenty-five years’ footprints of the Korean breeding society

The inauguration circumstances of the Korean Breeding Society, events of the ordinary general meetings and academic presentation sessions, periodical publications of the journal, number of memberships, officers of the society, and others were briefly described. There was no missing in ordinary general meetings and academic presentation session. Three symposiums were held during twenty five years. The venues for the ordinary general meetings were quite evenly changed throughout the country except Kangwon and Cheju area. The annual events of academic presentation have been increased from 22 in inaugural meeting to about 50 in recent session, annual number of issued papers in periodical journal increased from 8~10 during the inaugural years to about 50 papers in recent years. The individual society members were increased from 146 in 1969 to 652 at present, while institutional memberships were increased from 7 to 74. In this respect, we can suppose the Korean Breeding Society has been progressed about four times in quantity and to immeasurable state in its value or quality.
