퉁퉁마디 개체군의 서식 면적에 따른 유전적 다양성을 조사하기 위하여 6개 군집 96개체를 대상으로 ISSR marker를 사용하여 분석하였다. 6개 ISSR 프라이머에서 총 49개의 PCR 증폭 밴드가 관찰되었으며 이 중 30개의 밴드가 유전적 다형성을 갖는 밴드로 나타났다. 퉁퉁마디 개체군 전체의 유전적 다양성을 나타내는 지수 I(Shannon's information index)는 0.382로 나타났으며 h(gene diversity)는 0.249으로 나타났다. 군집 크기에 따른 유전적 다양성 지수는 0.1m×0.1m에서 0.092(I), 0.058(h)로 가장 낮게 나타났고 25m×25m에서 0.338(I), 0.227(h)로 가장 높게 나타나 유전적 다양성이 높은 군집 형성에 적합한 면적이라 할 수 있다. 퉁퉁마디 개체군 간 거리에 따른 유전적 다양성의 상관관계를 UPGMA 방법으로 분석한 결과 퉁퉁마디 개체군 간 거리와는 유의한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구 결과 제한된 환경에서 서식하는 퉁퉁마디는 유전적 다양성을 갖는 군집 형성을 위해 일정한 크기 이상의 면적이 확보되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Hypsizygus marmoreus is a mushroom with abundant flavor and medicinal properties. However, its application is limited by problems such as long cultivation period, low biological efficiency, and microbiological contamination; therefore, there is a substantial need for development of new cultivars of this species. In this study, 55 strains of H. marmoreus were subjected to inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analysis to identify markers for the selection of mother strains for breeding from the collected germplasm. ISSR 13 and 15 were confirmed as polymorphic markers. The three strains (KMCC03106, KMCC03107, and KMCC03108) with white cap color were found to be genetically closely related upon UPGMA analysis of both ISSR 13 and 15. Based on the PCR analysis results for ISSR 15, the collected germplasm were differentiated into three groups according to the strain collection year. Thus, ISSR 15 could be a marker for determining the phylogeny of cap color and genetic variations according to the strain collection year. These results suggest that ISSR markers can be effective tools for the selection of mother strains for breeding of H. marmoreus.

H. mamoreus is a mushroom with abundant favor and medicinal use. However, its cultivation has problems such as the long cultivation period, low biological efficiency and microbiological contamination, so new cultivars should be developed. In this study, 55 strains of H.marmoreus were analyzed with ISSR markers to identify precise genetic information in collected germplasm as mother strains in breeding. ISSR 13 and 15 markers were confirmed polymorphism. The three strains (KMC03106, KMC03107, and KMC03108) with white cap color were close genetic relationship in the UPGMA analysis of both the ISSR 13 and 15 markers. Especially in the PCR result of the ISSR 15, the collected germplasm were differentiated to three groups following collecting year. As these results, the ISSR 15 marker would be able to classify the phylogeny of cap color and genetic variation along the collecting year. Therefore ISSR markers will confer effective selection of mother strains for breeding of H. mamoreus.

A. bisporus is the fifth most cultivated mushroom in Korea, and approximately 10,757 tons were cultivated in 2015. The genetic diversity of collected strains in Korea and commercial cultivars was analyzed using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. ISSR markers known to be comparable among A. bisporus spp. were selected from various markers. Totally, 16 markers, namely the ISSR markers 807, 808, 810, 811, 834, 835, 836, 841, 842, P3, P8, P17, P22, P30, P38, and P39, were evaluated to discriminate between ASI 1110, 1114, 1115, 1238, 1246, 1365, 1366, and 1369 for selecting suitable markers in 16 markers. The ISSR markers P31, P38 and P39 exhibited various fingerprints that could help classify the strains in species. Using the three markers, genetic relationships among 39 strains, including commercial cultivars, such as SaeA and SaeYeon, were analyzed using the UPGMA method. The results of the analysis of the genetic relationships between commercial cultivars and collected strains in Korea confirmed that the commercial cultivars were different from the collected strains in Korea. These results suggested that the ISSR markers P31, P38, and P30 could be used for selecting the commercial cultivars of A. bisporus.

Twenty Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers were used to assess genetic diversity of 64 Agaricus strainsincluding 45 A. bisporus strains and other 19 Agaricus spp. ISSR primers, (GA)T, (AG)YC, (GA)C and (CTC) amplified PCRpolymorphic bands between the Agaricus species or within A. bisporus strains. PCR polymorphic bands were inputted forUPGMA cluster analysis. The varieties, Saea, Saedo, Saejeong and Saeyeon that have recently been developed in Korea wereinvolved in the same group with closely genetic relationship of coefficient similarity over 0.92, whereas, other Korean strains weregenetically related to A. bisporus strains that were introduced from USA, Eroupe and Chinese. Furthermore, ISSR-PCRpolymorphism could potentially be used to identify homokaryon isolates.

Twenty Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and 30 SSR primers were used to assess genetic diversity of 64 Agaricus strains including 45 A. bisporus strains and other 19 Agaricus spp. Of them, four ISSR primers, (GA)₈T, (AG)₈YC, (GA)₈C and (CTC)₆and seven SSR markers produced PCR polymorphic bands between the Agaricus species or within A. bisporus strains. PCR polymorphic bands were inputted for UPGMA cluster analysis. Forty five strains of A. bisporus are genetically clustered into 6 groups, showing coefficient similarity from 0.75 to 0.9 among them. The varieties, Saea, saedo, Saejeong and Saeyeon that have recently been developed in Korea were involved in the same group with closely genetic relationship of coefficient similarity over 0.96, whereas, other strains were genetically related to A. bisporus strains that were introduced from USA, Eroupe and Chinese.

To search for hyper-variable genetic markers that can distinguish regional populations of head lice, we screened the inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) based on the genome database of body louse, which is closely related conspecific species. An ISSR mining software, SciRoKo 3.4, was employed to excavate ISSR markers from the genome database under the MISA mode (≥ 60 bp repeats). Entire body louse genome (ca.100 Mb) was loaded to SciRoKo for ISSRs mining. A total of 5,336 ISSRs were obtained, and primers specific to individual ISSRs were designed by the Primer 3 and DesignPrimer 1.0 softwares. In order to prove the compatibility of body louse ISSRs to head lice, 31 PCR primers were randomly chosen out of a total of 613 pairs, and their appropriateness was tested by comparing the amplified PCR band patterns between body and head lice. Eleven primer pairs that resulted in poor or little amplification were excluded, and 20 primer pairs were further tested for three head louse populations (California, Panama and Chung-ju, Korea). Finally, nine primer pairs ensuring robust amplification of highly variable band patterns were selected to use for population genetic study of head lice.

Genetic variation within and among 12 populations of whip grass in south China were investigated using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP). High genetic diversity was found in whipgrass by two molecular makers (PPB=86.21%, I=0.357 based on ISSR; PPB=82.21%, I=0.352 based on SRAP). However, there was relatively low genetic diversity at population levels. A high degree of genetic differentiation among populations was detected based on different measures and different molecular markers. We also found that SRAP markers were more efficient than ISSR markers in this species. Based on these findings, sampling strategy was proposed for successfully utilizing the genetic resource of this species.

SRAP (Sequence-related amplified polymorphism) and ISSR (Inter simple sequence repeat) molecualr markers were used to evaluate the levels and patterns of genetic diversity among 45 collections of orchardgrass from four continents. Twenty-one primer combinations were used and 480 bands were produced in SRAP, of which 405(84.38%) were polymorphic. On the other hand, twelve primers were used to generate a total of 116 bands in ISSR, of which 116(87.07%) were polymorphic. The coefficient range of genetic similarity was 0.6248-0.9686 and 0.6116-0.9231 respectively. Based on cluster and principal component analysis on the genetic characteristics, all collections could be divided into four groups and five groups in two markers, respectively. According to the analysis of genetic diversity and relationships, the appropriate strategies for collection and conservation of germplasm resources also were discussed and scientific breeding with far genetic relationship materials in orchardgrass were suggested.

Geographic clines in genetic polymorphisms are widely believed as an evidence of climate change. We hypothesized green peach aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer, one of the major insect pests in highland chinese cabbage cultivation, may also have some interactions with climate change. As the first step, we tried to find the available markers from six local strains (five collected at different heights in Hoengseong and Pyeongchang area and one from laboratory). A strain from Jeju island was used as an out-group. Although there was no significant difference in sequences of partial ribosomal RNA fragment and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I, and esterase isozyme pattern, we found four inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers in 22 used ISSR primers (+AGA, +CCA, +CGA, CGA+). These primers can be used as good markers to trace the M. persicae gene flow because they showed specific bands according to local strains.

청원 소재 음나무(Kalopanax septemlobus)의 미숙종자에서 캘러스를 유도하여 15개의 배발생 캘러스를 얻었다. 증식된 배발생 캘러스를 재료로 체세포배를 유도하여 15개체의 기내 식물체를 얻었다. 체세포배 유도는 1/2 MS배지에 0.1 mg/L abscisic acid (ABA), 7% polyethylene glycol (PEG), 0.02% activated charcoal, 3% sucrose를 첨가하고, 0.5% gelrite로 경화하여 사용하였다. 식물 재생용 배지는 배지는 1/2MS배지에 2% sucrose, 0.3% gelrite로 하였고, 발아 촉진을 위해 GA3 1.0 mg/L 처리 혹은 기본배지를 사용하였다. 15개체의 체세포배 발생 빈도는 다르게 나타났고, 재생된 식물체의 GA3 효과는 크지 않았다. 유전적 다양성을 조사하기 위하여 ISSR (Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats) 표지자 분석을 실시하였다. 5개의 ISSR 프라이머에서 증폭산물을 관찰하였고, 유전적 다양성을 나타내는 P (Percentage of polymorphic loci)값과 S.I. (Shannon’s information index)를 조사하였다. ISSR 마커를 이용하여 재분화 식물체의 유전적 안정성을 분석한 결과, 체세포 유래 재분화된 식물체의 개체간에 유전적 구조가 균일하며, 유전적 변이는 관찰되지 않았다.

꼬리말발도리(Deutzia paniculata Nakai)는 전 세계적으로 우리나라 경상남북도 일부지역에만 자생하는 매우 제한된 분포범위를 가지는 특산식물이다. 이러한 꼬리말발도리 집단의 유전적 다양성 및 구조를 조사하기 위해 5집단 155개체에 대한 ISSR(Inter Simple Sequence Repeat) 분석이 수행되었다. 총 6개의 ISSR 프라이머를 이용하여 31개의 증폭산물을 관찰하였으며, 집단 수준에서의 유전적 다양성의 평균은 SI(Shannon's information index)=0.429, h (Nei's genetic diversity)=0.271로, 매우 높은 수준으로 나타났다. 집단별로는 큰 차이는 없었지만 비교적 높은 개화율을 보이는 밀양, 양산 집단이 다른 집단에 비해 다소 높은 유전 다양성을 유지하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. AMOVA 분석 결과 전체 유전변이의 약 16%가 집단 간 차이에 기인하는 것으로 설명되었으며, 나머지 84%는 집단 내 개체간에 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 이처럼 제한된 분포범위를 가지는 꼬리말발도리 집단에서 나타나는 높은 유전다양성과 집단간 낮은 유전적 분화율은 완전 타가수정하는 교배양식과 집단내 비교적 풍부한 개체수의 영향인 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 현재의 유전다양성을 유지할 수 있는 적절한 현지 내 보전대책 수립이 요구된다.

Agastache rugosa, a member of the mint family (Labiatae), is a perennial herb widely distributed in East Asian countries. It is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of cholera, vomiting, and miasma. This study assessed the genetic diversity and population structures on 65 accessions of Korean mint A. rugosa germplasm based on inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. The selected nine ISSR primers produced reproducible polymorphic banding patterns. In total, 126 bands were scored; 119 (94.4%) were polymorphic. The number of bands generated per primer varied from 7 to 18. A minimum of seven bands was generated by primer 874, while a maximum of 18 bands was generated by the primer 844. Six primers (815, 826, 835, 844, 868, and 874) generated 100% polymorphic bands. This was supported by other parameters such as total gene diversity (HT) values, which ranged from 0.112 to 0.330 with a mean of 0.218. The effective number of alleles (NE) ranged from 1.174 to 1.486 with a mean value of 1.351. Nei's genetic diversity (H) mean value was 0.218, and Shannon's information index (I) mean value was 0.343. The high values for total gene diversity, effective number of alleles, Nei's genetic diversity, and Shannon's information index indicated substantial variations within the population. Cluster analysis showed characteristic grouping, which is not in accordance with their geographical affiliation. The implications of the results of this study in developing a strategy for the conservation and breeding of A. rugosa and other medicinal plant germplasm are discussed.

활용가치가 높은 부존식물자원인 갈대의 기내 번식을 통한 배양체계를 확립하고 재분화 식물체들의 유전적 다양성을 검토한 결과, 성숙종자 유래의 캘러스를 통한 기내 식물체 재분화는 N6배지에서 MS배지보다 양호하였고, 0.25~0.5 mg/L의 BA를 포함한 N6배지에서 가장 높았다. ISSR 마커를 이용하여 재분화 식물체의 유전적 안정성을 분석한 결과, 검출된 총 94 유전좌중 유전적 다형성은 17%였고, 평균 유전자다양도 값(h)은 0.03, BA 5 mg/L를 포함한 N6배지에서 0.008, NAA 0.1 mg/L와 kinetin 2 mg/L를 포함한 MS 배지에서 0.040으로 나타났다. 이것은 재분화된 갈대식물체 개체간에 유전적으로 구조가 매우 단순하고 균일하며, 유전적 다양성 진단에 ISSR 마커가 효과적임을 시사한다.

우리나라 특산식물인 매미꽃(Coreanomecon hylomeconoides Nakai) 집단의 유전적 다양성 및 구조를 조사하기 위해 8집단 224개체에 대한 ISSR(Inter Simple Sequence Repeat) 분석이 수행되었다. 총 8개의 ISSR 프라이머를 이용하여 50개의 증폭산물을 관찰하였으며 집단 수준에서의 유전적 다양성의 평균은 P (Percentage of polymorphic loci) = 47.3%, SI(Shannon's information index) = 0.218, h (Nei's genetic diversity) = 0.142로 다년생 초본류의 평균보다는 월등히 낮게 나타났다. 집단별로는 분포의 중심에 해당하는 산청(SI=0.233, h=0153), 광양(SI=0.263, h=0.171), 순천(SI=0.241, h=0.159) 집단이 남해(SI=0.183, h=0.116)나 광주(SI=0.181, h=0.121)의 변두리 집단보다는 비교적 높은 유전다양성을 유지하는 것으로 나타났다. AMOVA 분석 결과 전체 유전변이의 약 18%가 지역 간에 나머지 82%가 집단 내 개체간의 차이에 기인하는 것으로 나타났는데 이는 집단 간에 유전자 교류가 원활히 이루어지기 때문으로 판단된다. 유전적 거리를 이용한 UMGMA 유집분석과 Bayesian cluster 분석 결과, 매미꽃 집단은 동서 두 지역으로 구조화 되는 경향을 보여 주었는데 이는 집단의 지리적 분포 패턴의 영향인 것으로 추정할 수 있다. 본 연구 결과, 조사된 다른 집단보다 풍부한 개체수와 높은 유전 다양성을 유지하고 있는 지리산 및 백운산의 산청, 광양 집단들에 대한 적극적인 현지 내(in situ) 보전대책 수립이 요구된다.

Gastrodia elata, an achlorophyllous orchid plant, is rare medicinal plant. We investigated the genetic diversity in G. elata from 4 locations by using Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) markers. Shannon's information Index (S.I.) indicating genetic diversity ranged from 0.255 (Pocheon) to 0.322 (Muju) with the mean of 0.29. The level of genetic diversity was lower than other plant and most genetic diversity was allocated among individuals within populations (26.81%). The UPGMA dendrogram based on genetic distance failed in showing decisive geographic relationship. In the case of gastrodin (GA), the major components in G. elata, Sangju was highest. The ergothionine (ERG) was detected a lot of contents in Muju and Pocheon. In conclusion, our results is very important information for explaining relationship of genetic variation and functional substances without the effects of environment factors and developing genetic marker by ISSR in G. elata, which may be responsible for the development of breeds with a lot of functional substance in G. elata.

The purpose of this study was to identify the variant of Platanus occidentalis, whose bark looks white, also can be classified as P. occidentalis and to examine its genetic difference from the general P. occidentalis. For the variant identification of P. occidentalis, SNP and ISSR analysis were used in this study. Thirteen samples of P. occidentalis white variant were collected in Cheongju and 24 samples of normal P. occidentalis obtained in Cheongju, Pyongtaek, Ansan, Suwon, Osan and Jincheon area. ITS 1 and ITS 2 sequences of white variants were identical with those of P. occidentalis. We could not find any sequence difference between normal and white P. occidentalis. So we concluded that the white variant belongs to normal P. occidentalis even their bark is white and peeled easily. By ISSR test, 98 amplicons were acquired using 10 primers. P. occidentalis and white P. occidentalis showed different band patterns from the UBC #834. According to the result of Nei (1979)'s genetic distance analysis, the members of white P. occidentalis were grouped more tightly than the members of normal P. occidentalis. The UPGMA dendrogram shows that the variant and P. occidentalis divided widely into two groups. These results show that the phenotype of P. occidentalis white variant is caused by genetic factors rather than by environmental factors.

Mulberries have importance in the sericulture industry as food for Bombyx mori, silkworm reared for its silk. Korean Morus alba have many cultivars and, for the protection of these cultivars and for utilization in plant-breeding programs, genetic information and the diversity among cultivars are essential. This study with 14 mulberry genotypes was undertaken using RAPD and ISSR fingerprinting to discover the genetic divergences between cultivars. Polymorphism rate among the cultivars produced by RAPD primer was found to be 64.48% and 66.29% relative to ISSR primer. The genetic relationships among the cultivars were identified using a dendrogram constructed with the UPGMA clustering method. Nei's method was used to calculate the genetic dissimilarity coefficients between each pair of genotypes, and the highest dissimilarity coefficient of 0.246 was exhibited between Suwon and Hwanggum cultivars. To determine the efficiency of each primer, a polymorphic index was calculated, and the robustness of the dendrogram was checked using cophenetic correlation coefficient. The results of this study can be utilized for the improvement of mulberry varieties in plant-breeding programs.
