본 연구는 한우와 함께 우리의 고유유전자원임에도 불구하고 한우에 비해 산업적 활용이 미흡한 칡소집단의 유전적 다양성과 특성을 파악하고자 실시하였다. 또한 멸종위기까지 처했던 칡소가 복원사업을 통해 일정 수준의 축군 확보에 성공하였지만 이 과정에서 유전적 다양성의 증감에 따른 유전적 병목현상 등의 현황을 파악하기 위해 11개의 MS 마커 유전자형을 이용해 분석을 수행했다. 관측(HObs) 및 기대 이형접합율(HExp)의 평균은 0.753, 0.765였으며, 다형정보지수(PIC)값은 0.732로 유전적 다양성은 비교적 높게 유지되고 있었다. 하디-바인베르크 평형(HWE) 검정결과 11개 좌위 중 5개 좌위는 유전적 평형 상태에서 유의적으로(p<0.05) 이탈해 있음을 확인했다. 칡소집단의 병목현상 여부를 검정하고자 11개 좌위의 대립유전자형을 3가지 변이 모델 IAM (Infinite Allele Model), SMM (Stepwise Mutation Model) 및 TPM (Two-Phase Mutation Model) 방법으로 추정했다. 본 연구에서 세 가지 검정 모두 칡소집단이 변이부동평형(Mutation Drift Equilibrium)에서 유의적으로 높게 이탈해 있음을 보였으며 이는 최근 유전적 병목현상이 발생했음을 시사한다. 희소 대립유전자 발생비율 검정결과 칡소 집단은 유전적 병목현상이 발생했음을 시사하는 모드변화(mode shifted) 분포를 보였다. 본 연구는 칡소를 대상으로 유전적 병목현상 여부를 분석한 최초의 보고이며 제시된 자료들은 새로운 육종소재로서 칡소의 활용과 이를 기반으로 한우산업의 다양한 육종 및 브랜드화 전략을 수립하는데 기초자료로 유용하게 활용 될 것으로 기대된다.

Volvariella volvacea is mainly cultivated in subtropics area like South-East Asia. Because it is cultivated in rice straws, it is called a straw mushroom. That mushroom grows well in high temperature about 30~38°C and high humidity. Straw mushroom is a homothallic mushroom, so it is difficult to identify whether the offspring is different from the parents. This study was carried out to investigate RAPD primers that can be used for identification the DNA polymorphism of Volvariella volvacea genetic resources. 9 strains were collected from various countries like China, Vietnam etc. When ITS regions of their DNA were analyzed, they proved to be Volvariella volvacea. A cultivation test was conducted to measure the morphological characteristics of them 2 strains, KMCC04380 and KMCC04382 were selected for breeding resources because the mycelium of them grew well on medium and fruiting bodies were formed quickly. The Universal PCR Fingerprinting kits(UPF primers) were used to confirm the genetic polymorphisms of the 2 strains. As a result of confirming the DNA bands, 2 of 12 primers could be used to genetically distinguish 2 strains. About 50 spores were isolated from their fruiting bodies respectively and they also will be confirmed DNA polymorphisms by using UPF primers.

In order to investigate genetic stability and gene expression profile after cloning procedure, two groups of cloned pigs were used for swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) gene nucleotide alteration and microarray analyses. Each group was consist of cloned pigs derived from same cell line (n=3 and 4, respectively). Six SLA loci were analyzed for cDNA sequences and protein translations. In total, 16 SLA alleles were identified and there were no evidence of SLA nucleotide alteration. All SLA sequences and protein translations were identical among the each pig in the same group. On the other hand, microarray assay was performed for profiling gene expression of the cloned pigs. In total, 43,603 genes were analyzed and 2,150～4,300 reliably hybridized spots on the each chip were selected for further analysis. Even though the cloned pigs in the same group had identical genetic background, 18.6～47.3% of analyzed genes were differentially expressed in between each cloned pigs. Furthermore, on gene clustering analysis, some cloned pigs showed abnormal physiological phenotypes such as inflammation, cancer or cardiomyopathy. We assumed that individual environmental adaption, sociality and rank in the pen might have induced these different phenotypes. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate that SLA locus genes appear to be stable following SCNT. However, gene expressions and phenotypes between cloned pigs derived from the same cell line were not identical even under the same rearing conditions.

Background : The several studies on the characteristics of Korean ginseng cultivars and breeding lines have already been carried out the level of molecular classification analysis in Korea. In spite of where Geumsan is a representative place of Korean ginseng, Geumsan native species (breeding lines) have not yet been carry out analysis of morphological, genetic characteristics and relationship. We have plan to carry out morphological, genetic characteristics and relationship for Geumsan native species, breeding lines. Furthermore, We could be used diverse genetic resources for Ginseng breeding. Methods and Results : In this study, a total of 71 breeding lines and variety (GS97-1 - Geumwon) consisting of native ginseng collections from Geumsan was analyzed to identify for Korean ginseng variety respectively, and clustered for the selection of Geumsan native ginseng in Korea using DNA markers. We collected 71 Ginseng breeding lines from Geumsan. Analyses of the genetic characteristics of the collection were conducted for extraction gDNA using sprout. We were measured DNA concentration using QIAxpert (QIAGEN). Each DNA sample was quantified at the final DNA concentration of 5 ng/㎖ using sterilized distilled water. Korean ginseng 14 variety and 57 Ginseng breeding lines from Geumsan could be identified polymorphism using the selected 6 primer (MFGp183, MFGp130, MFGp110_E, UFGp163, MFGp108 and UFGp156). Conclusion : These finding could be used for morphological and genetic characteristics for produced native ginseng in Geumsan area. Futhermore, we could be used diverse genetic resources for Ginseng breeding.

In this study, Expressed Sequence Tag-Simple Sequence Repeat (EST-SSR) analyses were used to clarify the genetic polymorphisms among Korean ginseng cultivars and breeding lines and to classify them into distinct genetic groups. Polymorphic and reproducible bands were produced by 14 primers out of total 30 primers used in this study. Fourteen EST-SSR loci generated a total of 123 bands. Amplified PCR products showed the highly reproducible banding patterns at 110~920 bp. The number of amplified bands for each EST-SSR primers ranged from 2 to 19 with a mean of 8.8 bands. P26 and P35 primers showed 13 and 12 banding patterns, respectively. The number of alleles for each EST-SSR locus ranged from 1.67 to 2.00 with a mean of 1.878 alleles. P34 and P60 primers showed the highest and the lowest genetic polymorphism, respectively. Cluster analysis based on genetic similarity estimated by EST-SSR markers classified Korean cultivars and breeding lines into 4 groups. Group included Gopoong and Chunpoong and 9 breeding lines (55%), group included 2 breeding lines (10%), group included 3 breeding lines (15%), group included Gumpoong and 3 breeding lines (20%). Consequently, the EST-SSR marker developed in this study may prove useful for the evaluation of genetic diversity and differentiation of Korean ginseng cultivars and breeding lines.

In this study, simple sequence repeat (SSR) analyses were utilized for evaluation of genetic diversity and discrimination of 17 accessions. Five cultivars, which were developed from Korea, and 12 foreign accessions, which were collected from China, Japan, Russia and USA, were evaluated by nine markers out of 22 SSR markers. A total of 39 alleles were detected, ranging from 2 to 8, with an average of 4.3 alleles per locus. The expected heterozygosity and PIC values were 0.627 and 0.553, with a range from 0.21 (GB-PG-078) to 0.76 (GB-PG-142) and from 0.19 (GB-PG-078) to 0.70 (GB-PG-142), respectively. Four makers out of nine SSR markers, GB-PG-026, GB-PG-043, GB-PG-142 and GB-PG-177, were selected as key factors for discrimination of Korean ginseng cultivars and foreign accessions. All of Korean ginseng cultivars and foreign accessions were individually by the combination of four SSR markers. Consequently, the SSR markers developed in this study may prove useful for the evaluation of genetic diversity and discrimination of Korean ginseng cultivars and foreign accessions.

This study was conducted to clarify the relation of the species of genus Sorbus in Korea based on multivariate analysis for the morphological characteristics and DNA polymorphism. Twenty-eight quantitative characters were assessed and analyzed by the principal component analysis and UPGMA cluster analysis. From the principal component analysis of 28 quantitative characters, three principal components (PC’s) explained the variation of inter-specific relations among the genus Sorbus. The first PC’s explained 58.95% of the variation with the Eigenvalue of 16.5, and the second and third PC’s showed the Eigenvalue of 8.3 and 3.1 and explained 88.74% and 100.0% of the variation, respectively. Especially, the first PC’s was related in order of the fruit width (FW) and length of terminal leaflet (LTL), petal length (PL), width of terminal leaflet (WTL), and diameter of winter bud (DWB). The second and third PC’s were involved in order of the No. of leaflet (NL), No. of fruit per fruiting lateral (NFL), length of upper rachis (LUR), and diameter of rachis (DR), No. of pistil (NP), respectively. Cluster analysis using them UPGMA method based on the principal components of four species of the genus Sorbus divided into two groups. Group Ⅰ comprises Sorbus commixta and S. sambucifolia var. pseudogracilis, and Group Ⅱ consists of S. amurensis and S. aucuparia. The pattern of DNA polymorphism of the 56 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers revealed that different taxa shared different sets of bands, and DNA analysis is useful for taxonomic study on the genus Sorbus.
