Bovine coat color is decided by the melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R) genotype mutation and melanogenesis. Specially, in the various cattle breeds, dominant black coat color is expressed by dominant genotype of ED, red or brown is expressed in the frame shift mutation of recessive homozygous e by base pair deletion and wild type of E+ is expressed in various coat colors. However, not very well known about the effected of MC1R genotype mutation on the coat color through family lines in KBC. Therefore, this study were to investigate effect of MC1R genotype mutation on the coat color, and to suggest mating breed system in accordance with of MC1R genotype for increased on brindle coat color appearance. Parents (sire 2 heads and dam 3 heads) and offspring (total : 54 heads) from crossbreeding in KBC family line with the MC1R genotype and phenotype records were selected as experimental animals. The relationship between melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) genotypes expression verified by PCR-RFLP, and brindle coat color appearance to the family line of the cross mating breed from MC1R genotype pattern was determined. As a result, 4MC1R genetic variations, E+/E+ (sire 1), E+/e (sire 2 and dam 3), E+/e with 4 bands of 174, 207 and 328 bp (dam 1) and E+/e with 3 bands of 174, 207, 328 and 535 bp (dam 2) from parents (sire and dam) of KBC. However, 3 genetic variations, e/e (24%), E+/E+ (22%) and E+/e (56%) were identified in offspring. Also, brindle coat color expressrated was the e/e with the 0%, E+/E+ with 67% and E+/e with 77% from MC1R genotype in offspring on the cross mating of KBC. Furthermore, when the sire had E+/e genotype and the dam had E+/E+ with the 3 bands or E+/e genotype, and both had whole body-brindle coat color, 62% of the offspring had whole body-brindle coat color. Therefore, the seresults, the mating system from MC1R genotype patterns of the sires (E+/e) and dams (E+/E+ with the 3 bands or E+/e) with brindle coat color may have the highest whole body-brindle coat color expression in their offspring.
The black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens (BSF), has a worldwide distribution in the tropics and warm temperate regions and is active in the Korea from May through October. This species colonize a wide variety of decomposing vegetable and animal matter and oviposit in a variety of decomposing materials. In this study, how the BSF molting, adult emergence and mating rate changed by seasonal condition at the artificial rearing system was investigated. The black soldier fly larvae and pupae were reared under laboratory condition (27℃, 60% R.H.). Under the laboratory condition, molting and adult emergence were not influenced by seasonal factors such as climate, radiation intensity. But it is known that the sunlight is the most important factor of the mating. In the previous study the time of day, temperature, and humidity is significantly correlated with oviposition and mating. The rearing of BSF throughout the year is restricted by sunlight. In this study, the data shows definitely different mating numbers throughout whole year. The time of the day and sunlight density are changed with season and it influence on artificial rearing. To culture the black soldier fly throughout the year in Korea needs a more deep study under the artificial rearing system.
부안지역 소나무 집단의 화분유동과 교배양식 모수를 추정 하기 위하여 7개 microsatellite 표지로 모수, 주변 성목 및 종자 에 대한 유전변이를 분석하였다. 이형접합도 기대치(He)와 근 교계수(F)는 각각 모수에서 0.614과 0.018, 종자에서 0.624과 0.087이며, 각 세대간에 차이는 없었다(P > 0.05). MLTR로 추 정한 타가교배율(tm)은 0.967이며, 양친간 근연계수(tm-t s)는 0.057, 부계상관(rp)은 0.012로 나타났다. 기존에 보고된 소나 무의 동위효소 분석 결과에 비하여 타가교배율은 높고 근친교 배 및 부계상관은 낮았으나, microsatellite 표지를 이용한 소나 무류의 결과들과는 유사하였다. TwoGener로 추정한 최적 화분 비산 모델은 유효밀도(d = 220 trees/ha)를 가정한 정규확산모 델로 판명되었으며, 평균 화분비산거리(δ )는 11.42 m로 계산되 었다. 화분원 유전적 분화(Φft)는 0.021이며, Mental 검증에서 모수간 지리적 거리와 화분원의 유전적 분화는 상관성이 없는 것으로 나타났다(r = -0.141, P > 0.05). 부안지역 소나무 집단 은 대부분의 화분이 가까운 거리에서 공급되지만, 화분수의 유 전다양성이 높고 화분원의 유전적 차이가 작은 상태로 추정된 다. 이러한 조건에서 완전한 임의교배가 이루어지기 때문에 종 자의 유전자형이 다양하며 세대간 유전변이의 감소가 없는 것 으로 사료된다.
To assess parameters of mating system in seed orchard, such as outcrossing rates, number of potential pollen contributors, and degree of pollen contamination, seeds, produced in '77 plot of the Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora S et Z) seed orchard at Anmyeon island, were collected in 2007 and analysed by nSSR and cpSSR markers. Estimates of outcrossing rates ranged from 91.2 to 100% (mean 97.7%) on the basis of the analysis of cpSSR haplotypes and from 81.6 to 100% (mean 95.3%) on the basis of the analysis of nSSR genotypes. By cross checking of both DNA markers, seeds, presumed to be products of self pollination on the basis of single marker, were confirmed as outcrossed seeds, which resulted in cumulative outcrossing rates of 98.9%. On the basis of pooled cpSSR haplotype of each seed, the number of pollen contributors and paternal contribution rates were estimated as 14.8 and 0.512, respectively. In conclusion, considering pretty high level of outcrossing rates observed in a seed orchard, good genetic potential of the seeds, produced in '77 plot of the seed orchard of Japanese red pines at Anmyeon island, may be guaranteed. Investigated results from the analysis of mating system of Japanese red pines in a '77 plot of the seed orchard may also be expected to provide useful information for the management and establishment of the seed orchard of the progressive generation.
