우리나라 참나리 2배체와 3배체 중 임의 선발된 56 개 지역의 참나리에 대하여 EST-SSR이용하여 각 genome 간의 유전적 변이와 유연관계를 분석하고자 수행되었다. 최근 백합속에서 개발된 19개의 EST-SSR 중에서 7개의 primer가 참나리 2, 3배체 종내 유전적 변이 분석에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 서해안, 남해안 제주도의 원거리 지역에 분포하는 2배체 참나리들은 지역에 관계없이 다양한 유전적 변이를 나타내었으나, 소청도, 울릉도 및 내륙에 분포하는 3배체 참나리는 비교적 단순한 변이를 나타내었다. 다형성을 나타낸 총 121개의 SSR 밴드를 사용하여 UPGMA 방법으로 계 통도를 작성한 결과 2배체 집단에서는 유전적 변이가 다양한 반면 3배체 집단에서는 비교적 변이가 적은 것 으로 나타났다. 2배체 집단에서 아차도 계통들이 남해 안의 다른 2배체와 뚜렷이 구분되는 cluster를 형성하 였고, 3배체 집단에서는 소청도 참나리가 다른 지역과 는 구별되는 독특한 밴드패턴을 나타내었다. 본 연구에 서 선발된 EST-SSR마커들은 금후 참나리 2, 3배체 집단의 유연관계를 분석하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있 을 것으로 생각된다.

Little millet (Panicum sumatrense) is well known for its salt and drought stress tolerance and high nutritional value, but very limited knowledge of genetic variation and genomic information is available. In this study, a total of 779 primer pairs were designed from the 22,961 EST sequences of switchgrass (Pancium virgatum), of which 48 EST-SSR markers were developed based on the trials of transferability of these primers in little millet. The EST-SSR amplicons showed reproducible single band polymorphism and produced a total of 160 alleles with an average of 3.3 alleles per locus in 37 accessions of little millet. The average values of expected and observed heterozygosities were 0.266 and 0.123, respectively. The polymorphic information content (PIC) values were observed in range of 0.026 to 0.549 with an average of 0.240. The genetic relatedness among the little millet accessions was evaluated by neighbor-joining dendrogram, which grouped all accessions into two distinct groups. The validation thus demonstrated the utility of the switchgrass EST-SSR markers in assessing genomic relationships in little millet. The findings from this study could be useful for designing strategies for the identification of diverse germplasm for conservation and future molecular breeding programs for little millet.

EST-SSRs were developed in Brassica napus by database mining. We isolated 7,802 EST-SSRs from the B. napus 643,946 ESTs deposited in the NCBI. With the cut-off value of >10 repeats in di-nucleotide repeats and >7 tri-nucleotide repeats, 303 ESTs were suitable for primer designing for PCR amplification. Of the sixteen possible di-nucleotide combinations, only three types of repeats (AC/GT, AG/CT, and AT/TA) were present among the di-nucleotide EST-SSRs. Whereas, 27 tri-nucleotide repeat motifs from the 64 possible combinations were present. The repeat numbers ranged from 10-15 in di-nucleotide repeats and 7-9 in tri-nucleotide repeat motifs, respectively. By checking PCR amplification in 10 Korean rapeseed breeding lines or cultivars, 234 primer pairs showed successful PCR amplification and 142 of the 234 primer pairs revealed polymorphism among the control cultivars or breeding lines. While the repeat length does not related with the SSR polymorphisms, the repeat motif number showed positive relation with the polymorphism generation by showing higher repeat numbers with higher polymorphisms. We are here presenting the PCR amplifiable primer sequences of the 234 SSR primer pairs to aid in the germplasm management and breeding programs of the B. napus in Korea.
