본 연구는 19년생 상수리나무 육종실생채종원에서 다양한 유전간벌 모형(간벌 방법 및 강도)에 따른 개량효과와 유전다양성을 추정함으로써, 본 채종원에 적합한 유전간벌 방법 및 강도를 선정하기 위해 실시하였다. 간벌 방법은 개체간벌, 가계간벌, 가계+가계 내 개체간벌을 적용하였으며, 간벌강도는 10% 단위로 10∼90%의 간벌강도를 적용하였다. 개체간벌은 모든 간벌강도에서 가장 높은 개량효과가 나타났지만, 유효집단크기를 이용하여 추정한 유전다양성은 가장 낮게 나타났다. 가계간벌은 가장 높은 유전다양성이 나타났지만, 잔존 가계수가 적고 개량효과가 극히 낮아 본 채종원에 적용할 간벌 방법으로는 부적절하였다. 가계+가계 내 개체간벌 방법은 높은 개량효과가 추정되면서, 안정된 유전다양성이 유지되었다. 간벌강도는 가계수와 유전다양성이 일정하게 유지되면서, 높은 개량효과를 얻을 수 있는 60%의 간벌강도가 적절한 것으로 생각되었다. 결론적으로 본 상수리나무 육종실생채종원 관리를 위하여 개량효과를 높이면서 유전다양성을 안정적으로 유지할 수 있는 가계+가계내 개체간벌 방안을 제시하는 바이다. 또한 상수리나무 채종원 관리자는 목적하는 개량효과 달성 및 유전다양성 유지에 필요한 유전간벌 강도를 설정할 수 있을 것이다.

With over 7 billion people on the planet, agriculture faces immense pressure to meet global demands for food. One third of consumed food relies on insect pollination with by far, the predominate pollinator being the honey bee, Apis mellifera. Although future challenges facing agriculture will come from multiple domains, one of the immediate challenges is honey bee decline. Stress associated with transportation, pesticide exposure nutritional limitations, various diseases and pests have all been recognized as potential factors in honey bee decline. With the prospect of future global changes in climate, honey bees will also face changes in forage availability and overwintering potential. At the level of the individual colony, research has shown that honey bee health is directly correlated to genetic diversity. Increased colony diversity is associated with lower disease intensity, increased disease resistance, greater workforce productivity and thermoregulation stability. Genetic diversity at the population level serves as the raw material for selective breeding in agriculturally important plants and animals, including the honey bee. Honey bees are not native to Korea, however, and importation and founder events associated with the establishment of honey bees represent a series of genetic bottlenecks that limits the diversity of introduced honey bee populations. Fortunately, Apis mellifera consists of around 28 recognized subspecies within its native range, each with specific adaptations to climatic selective pressures endemic to its own location. Climate change is expected to be bring a high degree of uncertainty in the future to climate expression in various locations. Fortunately, the honey bee has a wide breadth of diversity contained within various subspecies and careful importation and evaluation of specific stocks may be highly useful as we enter climate uncertainty in the future. With the recognition that agro-ecosystems are highly interconnected and multifaceted, one of the greatest challenges facing agriculture is preserving and improving honey bee health.

Meedon rice varieties are important for local adaptability, grain quality and market availability, and have been grown in Myanmar for centuries. Because of temporal variability and spatial heterogeneity, Meedon rice varieties in rainfed lowland areas may be diverse. However, information on diversity of Meedon rice germplasm is limited. This study was carried out to assess genetic diversity and to analyze population structure of Meedon rice germplasm conserved in Myanmar Seed Bank using SSR markers. For assessing genetic diversity, 154 accessions of Meedon rice germplasm were analyzed with nine SSR markers. A total of 86 alleles were detected with an average of 9.6 alleles per locus. All the loci were found to be polymorphic, and there were considerable genetic variation among accessions with mean values of expected heterozygosity (HE) = 0.5774 and polymorphic information content (PIC) = 0.5496. High frequency of rare alleles was identified, among which 35 unique (accession-specific) alleles were observed. Based on cluster analysis, rice accessions were mainly clustered into two groups, and as a result of model-based analysis, two distinct genetic populations and an admixture were classified. This result indicated that SSR markers have proved to be useful markers for detecting genetic diversity in Meedon rice, and the occurrence of a considerably high number of rare and unique alleles in the germplasm indicates their potentiality as a reservoir of rare genotypes for use. Unique alleles are also important because they may be diagnostic of a particular type of genotype for identification.

본 연구는 멸종위기식물인 단양쑥부쟁이(Aster altaicus var. uchiyamae)의 개체군을 대상으로 유전다양성을 유지하는데 필요한 최소개체수를 산정하기 위하여 수행되었다. 단양쑥부쟁이가 분포하고 있는 네 지역에서 각각 유전다양성 및 유전적 분화도를 분석하였다. AFLP(amplified fragment length polymorphism) 마커를 이용한 유전적 변이의 분석결과, 총 4개의 프라이머 조합에 대해서 936개의 밴드가 확인되었으며, 그 중 934개의 밴드(99.8%)가 다형성을 보여주었다. 단양쑥부쟁이 개체군 내에서 유전다양성(PPB = 45.3%, h = 0.104, I = 0.168, hs = 0.108)은 높은 수준으로 나타났으며, 개체군 간 유전적 분화도(GST = 0.075, θB = 0.079)는 낮은 수준이었다. AMOVA(Analysis of molecular variance)분석 결과에서도 전체 유전적 변이 중 91%가 개체군 내에서 보이는 반면, 9%는 개체군 간 변이에 기인한 것으로 나타났다. 단양쑥부쟁이 개체군에서 보이는 유전적 특성은 개체군 간의 빈번한 유전자 이동에 기인한 것으로 사료된다. 최대화 전략법에 의하여 경기도 여주일대의 3개 개체군을 대상으로(굴암, 도리섬, 삼합) 개체군 내 최소개체수를 산정한 결과 도리섬개체군에서는 17개체, 삼합개체군에서는 16개체, 굴암개체군에서는 11개체로 파악되었다. 단양쑥부쟁이 개체군의 최소개체수에 대한 정보는 효율적인 현지 외 보전을 위한 가이드라인을 제시해 줄 수 있다.

In agricultural fields, the entomopathogenic fungal species have been investigated for their potential as the biological control agents due to their role of natural enemies for insects. To address the requirements of a potential South Korea based biocontrol effort using entomopathogenic fungi, we investigated the occurrence of various entomopathogenic fungi in 1080 soil samples representing from various area and locations in South Korea. Entomopathogenic fungi were isolated from soils using semiselective medium SDA-D50 contained saboraund dextrose agar, 50 ug/ml dodine, 100 ug/ml chloramphenicol and 50 ug/ml streptomycin. The isolated putative fungi were identified by the determination of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region sequences of the nuclear ribosomal analysis. As a result, entomopathogenic fungi were found to occur in 30.8% of the soil samples studied. The most abundant species were Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. and Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschn.) Sorok. Isolates of B. brongniartii, Cordyceps sp., Lecanicillium sp., Isaria sp. and Tolypocladium cylindrosporum were also found. The occurrence of entomopathogenic fungi was analyzed by the area and soil types. These positive entomopathogenic fungi may have potential against variety pests in agriculture and forest

In this study, genotyping was executed by using 11 microsatellite markers (BM1824, BM2113, ETH10, ETH225, ETH3, INRA23, SPS115, TGLA122, TGLA227, TGLA53, and TGLA126) for diversity of 214 Hanwoo cows in Hoengseong area. Each marker's size and number of allele, observed heterozygosity, expected total heterozygosity, and polymorphism information content were analyzed by 11 Microsatellite marker. The average of size range was detected from 150.9 to 174.9 in Hanwoo cows of Hoengseong. The number of average allele was 10.0 that is similar to the average of Kangwon Hanwoo, which is known as 10.5 in the previous report. The average were 0.751 for observed heterozygosity, 0.760 for expected total heterozygosity, 0.725 for polymorphism information content, respectively. These results were similar to previous studies in Kangwon Hanwoo, National Hanwoo and Korean Proven Bulls. This study is expected to contribute for genetic improvement of Hanwoo cows in Hoengseong as a popular brand.

SRAP (Sequence-related amplified polymorphism) and ISSR (Inter simple sequence repeat) molecualr markers were used to evaluate the levels and patterns of genetic diversity among 45 collections of orchardgrass from four continents. Twenty-one primer combinations were used and 480 bands were produced in SRAP, of which 405(84.38%) were polymorphic. On the other hand, twelve primers were used to generate a total of 116 bands in ISSR, of which 116(87.07%) were polymorphic. The coefficient range of genetic similarity was 0.6248-0.9686 and 0.6116-0.9231 respectively. Based on cluster and principal component analysis on the genetic characteristics, all collections could be divided into four groups and five groups in two markers, respectively. According to the analysis of genetic diversity and relationships, the appropriate strategies for collection and conservation of germplasm resources also were discussed and scientific breeding with far genetic relationship materials in orchardgrass were suggested.

Neoseiulus womersleyi (Schicha) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is one of the most important predators of spider mites in Japan. Various characteristics have been studied in this species. However, because there is a lack of genetic markers, genetic diversity within and among populations has not been well elucidated. Microsatellites, short stretches of tandem-repeated 1- to 5- nucleotide sequences, are ubiquitously present in eukaryotic genomes and are highly polymorphic. Their high polymorphism makes them suitable markers for studying intra-specific variation. In this study, we developed microsatellite markers in N. womersleyi, and then examined genetic diversity in their populations. Microsatellite enriched genomic DNA library was contracted and sequenced from a single female adult. Of the 40 plasmids sequenced, 31 plasmids showed microsatellite sequences and 24 plasmids were unique. Finally, we could design primers on three loci. When tested their diversity on one wild and two laboratory populations, five to 18 alleles were detected. The wild population showed highest genetic diversity, and this divergence decreased in rearing populations. To investigate the effects of different rearing conditions, genetic diversity in two rearing populations, which were different in population size, were compared with those in the original wild populations. The allelic richness and gene diversity were not significantly different between wild and large-size populations, while the values were significantly decreased in small-size populations. Thus, 40 to 60 females per generation was sufficient to conserve the genetic diversity in N. womersleyi populations during laboratory rearing. In conclusion, the microsatellite markers developed were useful to evaluate genetic diversity in wild and laboratory populations of N. womersleyi.
