본 연구는 사과 품종의 유전적 다양성을 분석하여 육종의 기초 자료로 활용하기 위하여 최근에 국내에서 육성된 품종 및 도입품종을 포함한 34품종을 대상으로 RAPD와 SSR 분석을 수행하였다. RAPD분석에서 총 37종의 선발된 임의 primer를 분석하여 193개의 다형성 밴드(36.2%)를 얻었으며, 평균 다형성 밴드 수는 5.6개였다. SSR 마커 26종을 이용하여 분석한 결과 총 112개의 대립인자가 확인되었고, 마커 당대립인자 수는 평균 4.3개
In this study, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) analyses were utilized for evaluation of genetic diversity of 34 Korean bred and introduced apple cultivars. Thirty-seven RAPD primers detected a total of 193 polymorphic bands (36.2%) with an average of 5.6. Twenty-six SSR markers generated a total of 112 alleles with an average 4.3 alleles per locus. Genetic diversity of 34 cultivars estimated by polymorphic information content (PIC) value ranged from 0.536 (CH03d12) to 0.952 (CH04c06) with an average of 0.843. By UPGMA (unweighted pair-group method arithmetic average) cluster analysis with 305 polymorphic bands, the apple cultivars were classified four groups by similarity index of 0.640. The ‘Seokwang’ was included in group I. Group II consisted of 12 cultivars which have ‘Golden Delicious’ in their pedigree, with the exception of ‘Spur Earliblaze’ and ‘Jonathan’. Group III included 13 cultivars which have usually ‘Fuji’ in their ancestry and bud sport of ‘Fuji’ cultivars. Group IV consisted of 8 cultivars with ‘Hongro’, ‘Gamhong’, and ‘Saenara’. Similarity values among the tested apple cultivars ranged from 0.529 to 0.987, and the average similarity value was 0.647. The similarity index was the highest (0.987) between ‘Hwarang’ and ‘Danhong’, and the lowest (0.529) between ‘Seokwang’ and ‘Hwarang’. The genetic relationships among the 34 studied apple cultivars were basically consistent with the known pedigree.
