국내에서 수집된 인삼 자원 중에서 작물학적 특성이 우수하다고 조사된 54점(6~7년 근)을 대상으로 UPOV 조사 기준에 따라 주요 형태적인 특성들을 조사한 결과 경수는 1~4개 범위로 1개인 것이 42.6%이고, 2개인 것이 38.6%로 경수가 1~2개인 것이 전체 81.2%로 나타났으며, 경수가 5개인 것은 없었다. 장엽수는 3~6엽 범위로 5엽이 55.6%였고 4엽인 것은 25.9%였다. 경색은 자색계열이 전체 81.5%로 자색이 46.3%, 연자
In this study, the major agronomic traits were investigated and RAPD technique was applied for the analysis of the genetic relations between the native ginsengs collected from Poonggi and Geumsan provinces in Korea. The main morphological traits were measured for a total of 54 collections of native ginseng from two areas based on UPOV standard. A total of 58 collections consisting of twenty-one native ginsengs collections from Poonggi area, twenty-nine collections from Geumsan area and four varieties of P. quinquefolium, P. japonicum, Chunpoong and Hwangsuk as controls were analyzed and clustered by RAPD. The results indicated that 01-9, 01-35 and 01-44 collections from Poonggi area were grouped into Geumsan area, while 332001, 332002 and 332003 collections from Geumsan area were grouped into Poonggi area. On comparison to the similarity of Poonggi collections (73-95%), the Geumsan collections showed 65-86% similarity in the population. Thus, the cluster should be applied according to the number of stem, number of leaves per stem and leaflet shape on the regionally native ginseng collections. The fourteen primers such as OPA02, OPA07, OPC08, OPD11, OPD20 and so on, will be used to select the native ginseng in the future studies.
