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.

한국꿩 (Korean ring-necked Pheasant, Phasianus colchicus karpowi)과 외국 아종의 유전적 유연관계를 파악하기 위해 야생 한국꿩, 사육 한국꿩, 사육 한국꿩과 외국꿩간의 잡종꿩, 외국꿩 4아종(중국 링넥, 흑 뮤탄트, 백 뮤탄트, 녹치)을 대상으로 ISSR 표지자 분석과 AMOVA 분석을 수행하였다. 야생 한국꿩의 전체 유전 다양성중 94.08%가 서식지 내 개체간 유전적 차이에 기인하고, 5.9% (Φ

This study was conducted to assess genetic diversity among 16 genotypes of boxthorn (Lycium chinensis Mill.) using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. The 18 ISSR primers out of 100 primers showed the amplification of 101 reproducible fragments. A total of 56 DNA fragments were polymorphic with an average 3.1 polymorphic bands per primer. The polymorphic primers were divided into 16 anchored primers and 2 non-anchored primers. All of the anchored primers were di-nucleotide repeat motif, and polymorphism level was higher in the primers with poly GA and CT motif than CA and GT motif primers. Based on polymorphism, cluster analysis was conducted by the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA) methods. Sixteen boxthorn varieties and accessions were separated into 2 distinctive groups and genetic distance of cluster ranged from 0.82 to 0.97. Eighteen markers were able to distinguish every variety. Therefore, ISSR markers may be suitable for characterizing the large numbers of germplasms and fingerprinting of boxthorn varieties.

외나로도 식물상을 조사하던 중 분홍색 포를 가진 산딸나무 개체를 발견하였다. 흰색 포를 가지는 일반 산딸나무 개체와 식별가능한 유전자 marker를 탐색하기 위하여 ISSR primer를 사용하였다. 50개의 primer 중 6개 primer에서 총 58개의 증폭산물을 관찰할 수 있었으며, primer당 평균 9.67개가 증폭되었다. UPGMA 방법에 의한 유집분석을 수행한 결과, 산딸나무 개체들은 포가 분홍색인 개체들과 흰색인 개체들이 따로 유집되었으며, 흰색인 개체들은 도서지역 개체들과 내륙지역 개체들로 유집되었다. 산딸나무 화색의 변이에 따른 유전적 다양성조사 결과, 특정 ISSR primer는 꽃이 없는 상태에서 변이 개체를 구분할 수 있는 유용한 marker로 사용될 수 있는 것으로 사려되었다.
