The blackish cicada, Cryptotympana atrata Fabricius, 1775 (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) was originally distributed mainly in the southernmost remote island, Jeju and rarely throughout low lands in South Korea, but has been explosively increased at the urban areas, where annual temperature is higher. In this study, we sequenced a partial mitochondrial COI from a total of 171 individuals collected throughout 12 localities in South Korea. The haplotype found with the highest frequency in Jeju island shares only with two inland localities in southern region with a low frequency, whereas the haplotype found with the highest frequency throughout inland localities was not found in Jeju island. These results showed that Jeju population, southern region, and other inland populations form somewhat different genetic groups.

Limonoid UDP-glucosyltransferase (LUGT)는 리모노이드에 포도당을 붙여줌으로써 궁극적으로 감귤에서 발생하는 limonoid bitterness를 제거해 주는 효소이다. 본 연구에서는 10종의 제주산 감귤로부터 LUGT유전자를 PCR 클로닝하고 그 염기서열을 비교했다. 실험에 사용한 모든 종에서 카르복실기 말단에 식물 당전달 효소에서 발견되는 전형적인 아미노산 서열인 p1ant secondary product glyco
