배추흰나비 P. rapae와 P. brassicae GV의 DNA성상과 이를 기초로한 상동성을 검정한 결과 Tm값에서는 P. rapae GV DNA는 이고, P. brassicae GV DNA의 경우는 로 G+C 함량은 전자가 35.5%, 후자가 35.9%였다. 그리고 제한산소처리에 의한 DNA의 분석에서는 P. Rapae GV의 genome의 크기는 103 kb, P. brassicae GV DNA는 108kb로 나타났으며, 두바이러스 간의 상동성은 97.0%였다.
This study was carried out to acquire some basic biochemical informations on the granulosis virus (GV) DNA of Pieris rapae and Pieris brassicae. The thermal denaturation temperature (Tm) and G+C content of the DNA of the viruses were and 35.5% for P. rapae GV, and 35.9% for P. brassicae GV, respectively. There were some differences in the DNA fragmentation patterns of the two GV's produced by digestion with restriction endonucleases such as EcoR I , BamH I and Hind m . The homololgy between the two DNAs was caculated to be 97.0%. The size of the genome was estimated to be 103 kbp for P. rapae GV and 108 kbp for P. brassicae GV.
