본 연구는 국내에서 유통되고 있는 국화 147품종을 수집하 여 국화 품종의 식별을 위한 SSR 분자표지의 선발 및 이를 이용한 품종별 DNA profile 데이터베이스를 구축하기 위해 수행하였다. 품종식별에 적합한 분자표지를 선정하기 위해 20 개 품종을 대상으로 총 587개의 SSR 분자표지를 검정하여 다형성을 나타내는 27개의 분자표지를 선발하였다. 27개의 분자표지 중 다형성, 재현성, 반복성, 대립유전자 패턴 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 14개의 SSR 분자표지를 데이터베이스 구축에 활용할 마커로 최종 선발하였고 이를 이용하여 국화 147품종에 대한 SSR 분자표지 데이터베이스를 구축하였다. 국화 147 품종을 14개의 SSR 분자표지로 분석한 결과 대립 유전자 수는 79개, 마커별 대립유전자의 분포는 3 ~ 10개로 분포하였고, 분자표지 당 평균 대립 유전자의 수는 5.6개로 나타났다. PIC 값은 0.287 ~ 0.785 범위에 분포하였으며, 평 균값은 0.598로 분석되었다. 국화 147품종에 대한 덴드로그 램을 작성하였을 때 공시품종의 유전적 거리는 0.44 ~ 1.00 범위로 나타났으며, 147품종 중 143품종은 14개 SSR 분자표 지에 의해 식별이 되었으나, 돌연변이 육종법 또는 자연변이 를 통해 육성된 2품종은 원품종과 구분이 되지 않았다. 본 연구에 의해 구축된 국화 품종별 SSR 분자표지 데이터베이스 는 국화 출원품종의 대조품종 선정과 품종보호권 침해 및 종 자분쟁 발생시 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) is a member of the Ericaceae and eleven varieties have been registered at the Korea Seed & Variety Service for Plant Variety Protection (PVP). This study was to develop simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers next generation sequencing (NGS) analysis and to analysis genetic relationship of blueberry 31 varieties. Highbush blueberry ‘Camellia’ and rabbiteye blueberry ‘Alapaha’ varieties were used as sequencing materials. Out of total 987 SSR primers detected between ‘Camellia’ and ‘Alapaha’, 148 SSR primers were initially applied to select SSR markers for identification of blueberry varieties. Fourteen SSR markers showed polymorphism between 8 varieties. Seven SSR markers showed reproducibility and clear peak among 14 SSR markers. Genetic relationships of 31 blueberry varieties were analyzed and identified using 7 SSR markers. A total of 30 polymorphic SSR alleles were obtained and two to seven alleles were detected for each locus with an average of 4.3 alleles per locus. Average polymorphism information content was 0.556, ranging from 0.374 to 0.714. Genetic distance of clusters ranged from 0.38 to 0.93 by unweighted pair-group method with arithmetical average based on Jaccard’s distance coefficients. These newly developed SSR markers indicate usefulness for variety identification related to seed dispute and distinctness, uniformity and stability (DUS) test for blueberry.

Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum Ramat.) is a member of the Asteraceae and 588 varieties obtained Plant Variety Protection and 601 varieties were registered to Korea Seed & Variety Service for marketing. Thus, chrysanthemum is one of the important horticultural crop and having a possibility for infringement of Plant Breeder’s Rights. We investigated the genetic relationship of 20 chrysanthemum varieties using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total 335 SSR primer sets were screened for identification of 20 varieties. With 335 SSR primers, seventeen SSR primers showed polymorphism and reproducibility between 20 varieties. A total of 77 polymorphic fragments were identified by 17 SSR markers. Two to eight SSR alleles were detected for each SSR locus with an average of 4.53 alleles per locus. The polymorphism information content values ranged from 0.408 to 0.825 with an average of 0.45. Genetic distance of 20 varieties ranged from 0.36 to 0.73 by unweighted pair-group method with arithmetical average based on Jaccard’s distance coefficients. All of twenty varieties were distinguished by 17 marker genotypes. Future work will be investigated to construct DNA profile database for large number of chrysanthemum varieties using DNA sequencer.
