총 22개의 감 SSR primer set을 사용하여 주요 재배품종 17품종, 수집한 단감 변이개체 13종 등, 총 30개의 유전적 연관성을 분석하였다. 획득한 469개의 다형성 밴드를 이용하여 UPGMA 방식으로 유사도 및 집괴분석을 수행한 결과, 30개의 품종 및 수집 계통들은 크게 2개의 그룹(cluster)으로 나뉘어졌으며, 제 1 cluster는 다시 3개의 subcluster로, 제 2 cluster는 다시 2개의 subcluster를 형성하였다. 이는 수집 계통들이 기존 대조품종들과 서로 동일군으로 분포되고 있어 형태적으로 유사할 수 있고 근연되어 있지만, 유전자적 수준에서는 다른 조성을 가지고 있음을 보여준다. 평균 유사도의 값은 0.164 이였고 품종간 가장 높은 유사도 값(0.31)을 나타낸 것은 ‘차랑’과 ‘전천차랑’이였고, 가장 낮은 유사도 값(0.02)를 나타낸 것은 Ⅱ 그룹과 비교하여 Ⅰ 그룹에 속하는 ‘Rojo Brillante’였다. 본 연구에 사용된 22 SSR primer set을 통해, ‘차랑’과 ‘전천차랑’을 제외한 대조품종과 수집 계통간의 구별이 가능하여 향후 신품종 개발시 품종보호를 위한 특이적 마커로 효율적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Genus Taraxacum has been widely used as a folkloric medicine for treatment of diverse diseases. The genetic diversity and relationship among 32 accessions belonging to five Taraxacum species (T. mongolicum T. coreanum, T. coreanum var. flavescens, T. officinale and T. laevigatum) which collected from field, mountain, island and seaside of Korea were evaluated using ISSR markers. A total of 142 ISSR loci detected in the overall species were all polymorphic loci (100%) and interspecies polymorphisms obtained from Korean native and naturalized species were 98.2% and 94.5%, respectively. The genetic similarity matrix (GSM) among 32 accessions ranged from 0.025 to 0.860 with an average of 0.303. According to the clustering analysis, the Korean native species and naturalized species were divided two major clusters. In addition, the different species were divided into independent groups except for the T. coreanum and T. coreanum var. flavescens, and all the 32 accessions could be classified into 7 categories. The study findings indicate that Taraxacum accessions have a high genetic diversity and the dandelion accessions as breeding materials can be effectively utilized for the improvement of Taraxacum breeding.

Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench), one of the minor crops grown in Korea belonging to the Polygonaceae family, is an annual crop widely cultivated in Asia, Europe, and America and has a character of outcrossing and self-incompatibility. The objective of this study was to analyze the genetic variability, phylogenetic relationships and population structure of buckwheat landraces of Korea using SSR markers. Ten microsatellite markers have been detected from a total of 79 alleles among the 179 buckwheat accessions were collected from Korea. The number of allele per marker locus (NA) ranged from 2 (GB-FE-001, GB-FE-043 and GB-FE-055) to 31 (GB-FE-035) with an average of 7.9 alleles. GB-FE-035 was the most polymorphic with the highest PIC value 0.93. Major allele frequencies (MAF) for the 10 polymorphic loci varied from 0.12 to 0.97 with a mean allele frequency of 0.57. The expected heterozygosity (HE) values ranged from 0.05 to 0.94 with an average of 0.53. The observed heterozygosity (HO) ranged from 0.06 to 0.92 with an average of 0.42. The overall polymorphic information contents (PIC) values ranged from 0.05 to 0.93 with an average of 0.48. The landrace accessions of buckwheat used in the present study were not distinctly grouped according to geographic distribution. The study concludes that the results revealed genetic differentiation was low according to the geographic region because of outcrossing and self-incompatibility. We reported that our analyses on the genetic diversity of common buckwheat cultivars of Korea were performed by using of microsatellite markers.

To elucidate genetic diversity of common reed in Korea, we collected a total of 674 common reed plants from 27 regions in South Korea. Hierarchical clustering using 7 morphological traits divided the 27 common reed populations into 7 groups. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) results identified three distinct groups of common reed. Common reed accessions in group I mostly inhabit coastal areas. Group II includes reeds mostly collected from inland areas. Group III consists of common reed accessions collected from inland and coastal areas, suggesting that this group might contain hybrids. In summary, we suggest that parapatric speciation might be an important factor in the genetic diversity of common reed and geographical speciation of common reed that might be also affected by environmental gradients.

This study was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity and to develop a technique for cultivar identification using SSR markers in grapevine. Thirty Korean bred and introduced grapevine cultivars were evaluated by 28 SSR markers. A total of 143 alleles were produced ranging from 2 to 8 alleles with an average of 5.1 alleles per locus. Polymorphic information contents (PIC) were ranged from 0.666 (VVIp02) to 0.975 (VVIn33 and VVIn62) with an average of 0.882. UPGMA (unweighted pair-group method arithmetic average) clustering analysis based on genetic distances using 143 alleles classified 30 grapevine cultivars into 7 clusters by similarity index of 0.685. Similarity values among the tested grapevine cultivars ranged from 0.575 to 1.00, and the average similarity value was 0.661. The similarity index was the highest (1.00) between 'Jinok' and 'Campbell Early', and the lowest (0.575) between 'Alden' and 'Narsha'. The genetic relationships among the 30 studied grapevine cultivars were basically consistent with the known pedigree. The three SSR markers sets (VVIn61, VVIt60, and VVIu20) selected from 28 primers were differentiated all grapevine cultivars except for 'Jinok' and 'Campbell Early'. Five cultivars ('Narsha, 'Alden', 'Dutchess', 'Pione', and 'Muscat Hamburg') were identified by VVIn61 at the first step. Then 21 cultivars including 'Hongsodam' by VVIt60 at the second step and 2 cultivars ('Heukbosuck' and 'Suok') by VVIu20 at the third step were identified. These markers could be used as a reliable tool for the identification of Korean grapevine cultivars.

Genetic diversity among 28 Cymbidium varieties was evaluated by using a sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) marker system. The SRAP marker which was based on the open reading frames (ORFs) regions was developed primarily for Brassica species, but has been applied to various crops. A total of 30 SRAP primer combinations were initially screened. Twenty-eight SRAP primer combinations showed high polymorphism among the 28 Cymbidium varieties, which were consisted of breeding varieties and their parents in National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science (NIHHS). The amplified DNA fragments were separated by denaturing acrylamide gels and detected silver staining method. One hundred ninety six polymorphic bands (7 per primer) were generated and ranged from 0.3 to 1.0 kb in size. Polymorphic fragments were scored for calculating simple matching coefficient of genetic similarity and cluster analysis with multi-variate statistical package (MVSP) 3.1. The mean genetic similarity coefficient value was 0.588. The results showed that the correlation between F1 varieties and their parents was high. These studied SRAP markers will be useful tools for genotype identification, germplasm conservation, genetic relationships in Cymbidium.

It is very crucial to evaluate the genetic diversity of peanut genetic resources for identification of peanut germplasm accessions and variety improvement. Cultivated peanut generally has two subspecies, hypogaea and fastigiata. In this study, we identified peanut into three plant types, virginia (var. hypogaea), spanish (var. vulgaris), and valencia (var. fastigiata). Former one belongs to ssp. hypogaea and latter two are involved in ssp. fastigiata. Twenty SSR markers were used to assess the genetic variation of three sets, hypogaea, vulgaris, and fastigiata, respectively. Out of variety-specific SSR primers tried in this study, ten pairs of SSR primers showed polymorphisms. Each accession could be identified by a specific set of polymorphic SSR primers, and allele number was evaluated among accessions, with an average of 6.7 in var. hypogaea and 5.4 in var. vulgaris and fastigiata. For evaluation of genetic diversity, gene diversity ranged from 0.336 to 0.844 and PIC (polymorphism information contents) ranged from 0.324 to 0.827 were investigated. Dendrograms based on genetic distances were constructed, which showed the existence of three different clusters. And these three different clusters might be associated with the genes involved in three plant types. The results also suggested that there were plentiful SSR polymorphisms among peanut germplasm accessions in RDA (Rural Development Administration, Korea) Genebank and SSRs might play an important role in evaluating peanut accessions and cultivar improvement.

The genetic diversity and the genetic relationship among 30 genetic resources of T. officinale and T. coreanum collected from 20 regions in Korea were evaluated by using ISSR markers. Out of 127 loci detected overall, 122 were identified to be polymorphic with a rate of 96.0% at the 30 individuals. The intraspecific polymorphism between T. officinale and T. coreanum was 92.6% and 88.2%, respectively. The genetic similarity matrix (GSM) revealed a wide range of variablility among the 30 accessions, spanning from 0.179 to 922. According to the clustering analysis, different species T. officinale and T. coreanum, were divided into independent groups and all of the accessions could be classified into 7 categories. Especially, all of the mountain collected accessions belonged to independent groups. The study findings indicate that T. officinale and T. coreanum accessions have a high genetic diversity and accordingly carry a germ-plasm qualifying as good genetic resources for breeding.

To investigate dose-effect of a chemical mutagen, sodium azide on a rice elite line, Suweon472, seed aliquots were treated with five different concentrations of sodium azide. The degree of mutation levels of each aizde concentration were estimated by using DNA fingerprinting techniques such as RAPD and AFLP. Some selected mutant lines (M4) were also subjected for DNA fingerprinting to estimate their mutation levels by comparing the banding patterns of the wild type, Suweon 472. RAPD and AFLP fingerprinting patterns indicated that dose-effect of different azide concentrations was not clear. With allele description of detected AFLPs among favorable mutant lines, it was possible to discriminate each mutant line from others which have similar phenotypes and reactions against pathogens. AFLP fingerprinting patterns of waxy mutant lines, otherwise, were highly homogeneous as well as their phenotypic and agronomic characters.

The present study researched morphological characteristics and analyzed the genetic diversity by using RAPD in Calanthe species, native plant in Jeju, Korea. Twenty-six samples were selected by flower color, and 19 horticultural traits were investigated to study morphological characteristics. The C. discolor had the smallest leaf, the length and width of dorsal sepal, lateral sepal, petal, central lip, lateral lip, and flower stalk length were shortest and/or smallest except the spur and ovary length in Calanthe species, but those of Calanthe discolor for. sieboldii (Dence.) Ohwi (Calanthe discolor for. sieboldii) were the largest and/or biggest, and those of variants were the intermediate between C. discolor and C. discolor for. sieboldii, but spur length was the longest in C. discolor, the shortest in C. discolor for. sieboldii, and intermediate in the variants. Ovary length in C. discolor was shortest and C. discolor for. sieboldii and variants were similar with each other. The flower colors of C. discolor were brownish red, the value of CIE Lab was between 40 and 50. The flower color of C. discolor for. sieboldii was yellowish; the value of CIE Lab was between 110 and 130. And variants had various colors between 50 and 70 in the value of CIE Lab. After analyzing multiple band patterns of PCR products, 154 bands were selected as polymorphic RAPD markers. The analysis of Genetic distance of Calanthe species using RAPD showed that C. discolor and C. discolor for. sieboldii are more distant from each other than variants, and demonstrated the fact that genetic position of variants is between the other two species.

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

본 연구는 ISSR 표지자를 이용하여 동강할미꽃 3개 지역, 5개 집단, 총 177 개체로부터 유전적 특성을 구명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 6개 ISSR primer의 56개 표지자에서의 종 수준에서의 유전다양성은 P=94.6, SI=0.377, h=0.240로, 제한된 분포와 작은 집단크기를 고려할 때 상당한 수준으로 평가되었다. AMOVA 분석 결과 전체 유전변이의 약 12%가 지역 간에, 약 13%가 지역 내 집단 간에 존재하는 것으로 나타나, 지역 및 집단에 따른 분화정도는 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 평가되었다. 이는 인근집단 간에 유전자 교류가 비교적 원활히 이루어지기 때문으로 판단되었다. 동강할미꽂 집단 간 분화정도는 주로 지리적 거리에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 유집분석과 주좌표분석을 통해서도 이를 확인할 수 있었다. 크기가 작고 고립된 삼척집단(SC)에서는 많은 유전자좌에서의 표지자 밴드의 빈도가 현저히 다르거나 다른 방향으로 고정되어 유전적 부동이 진행되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 앞으로 동강할미꽃의 집단크기가 계속 감소하면 유전다양성이 심각하게 훼손될 뿐만 아니라 집단 전체의 절멸로 이어질 우려가 있다. 따라서 동강할미꽃의 보전을 위해서는 무엇보다 고유의 서식처 환경을 보호하여 집단크기가 감소하거나 집단 간의 연결성이 훼손되지 않도록 해야 할 것이다. 현지에서의 종자산포나 이식 등의 보전 조치는 생태적, 유전적 특성을 고려하여 신중히 이루어져야 한다. 또한 집단의 유전적 구조 변화 등에 관한 기초연구와 함께 동강할미꽃의 효율적 보전을 위한 통합적인 체계 구축이 시급한 과제 중의 하나이다.

TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes) is broadly regarded as an excellent methodology for reverse genetics applications. Approximately 15,000 M3 TILLING lines have been developed via the application of gamma-ray irradiation to rice seeds (cv. Donganbyeo), followed by subsequent selections. In an effort to evaluate the genetic diversity of the TILLING population, we have employed the AFLP multiple dominant marker technique. A total of 96 (0.64%) TILLING lines as well as Donganbyeo were selected randomly and their genetic diversity was assessed based on AFLP marker polymorphisms using 5 primer combinations. An average of 100.4 loci in a range of 97 to 106 was detected using these primer combinations, yielding a total of 158 (31.4%) polymorphic loci between Donganbyeo and each of the 96 lines. A broad range of similarity from 80% to 96% with an average of 89.4% between Donganbyeo and each of the 96 lines was also observed, reflecting the genetic diversity of the TILLING population. Approximately 28 polymorphic loci have been cloned and their sequences were BLAST-searched against rice whole genome sequences, resulting in 20 matches to each of the gene bodies including exon, intron, 1 kb upstream and 1 kb downstream regions. Six polymorphic loci evidenced changes in the coding regions of genes as compared to the rice pseudomolecules, 4 loci of which exhibited missense mutations and 2 loci of which exhibited silent mutations. Therefore, the results of our study show that the TILLING rice population should prove to be a useful genetic material pool for functional genomics as well as mutation breeding applications.

We investigated genetic diversity among and within the populations of cultivated ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer ) using SRAP profiles. A total of 24 ginseng plants were sampled from the three populations (two from China, one from Korea). Since all these populations are previously shown closely related to each other assister groups, we used Panax quinquefolium L. and wild ginseng as a reference species, which is not "within the sister group". All individuals from the three populations were screened with a total of 36 primer pairs with 26 primers generated from 328 SRAP bands of DNA gels. The mean gene diversity (HE) was estimated to be 0.057 within populations (range 0.032-0.067), and 0.086 at the species level. The genetic differentiation (Gst=0.31) indicates that genetic variation apportioned 30% among populations and 70% within populations. Generally, the result of this study indicates that ginseng contains high molecular variation in its populations.

Many research results have indicated that many kinds of useful ingredients are rich in buckwheat, which have high nutritional values and medicinal properties, so, buckwheat has been cultivated around Asia and Europe. In this paper, genetic diversity of common and tartary buckwheat germplasms were studied based on morphological and molecular markers in order to provide useful information for conservation and utilization of buckwheat genetic resources. The length, width, thick, value and weight of the seed of the common and tartary buckwheat were measured and analyzed by the statistics methods. The result has shown that there are morphological variation both in common buckwheat and tartary buckwheat seeds collected from different regions. It also has shown that the morphological variation of tartary seeds was significantly correlated to geographical regions. The nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of the tartary buckwheat collected from different countries were cloned, sequenced and statistically analyzed. The data showed that ITS sequences were informative to analyze the phylogeny of the tartary buckwheat and the data also showed that the genetic distances varied among different tartary buckwheat seeds collected from different countries.
