Molecular genetic markers were genotyped used to detect chromosomal regions which contain economically important traits such as growth traits in pigs. Three generation resource population was constructed from a cross between the Korean native boars and Landrace sows. A total of 193 F2 animals from intercross of F1 were produced. Phenotypic data on 7 traits, birth weight, body weight at 3, 5, 12, 30 weeks of age, live empty weight were collected for F2 animals. Animals including grandparents (F0), parents (F1), offspring (F2) were genotyped for 194 microsatellite markers covering from chromosome 1 to 18. Quantitative trait locus analyses were performed using interval mapping by regression under line-cross model. To characterize presence of imprinting, genetic full model in which dominance, additive and imprinting effect were included was fitted in this analysis. Significance thresholds were determined by permutation test. Using imprinting full model, four QTL with expression of imprinted effect were detected at 5% chromosome-wide significance level for growth traits on chromosome 1, 5, 7, 13, 14, and 16.

Seed dormancy is an important adaptive mechanism to protect seeds under the unfavorable environments. Unlike to wild type species, the seed dormancy trait of cultivated crops has been weakened by breeding programs during the domestication period. Weak seed dormancy often causes preharvest sprouting (PHS) problem in many cereal crops that result in significant economic loss. The seed dormancy is a quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlled by multiple genetic and environmental factors. So far, many QTLs for seed dormancy have been identified from rice and wheat as well as in the model plant Arabidopsis. Unveiling of QTL genes and complex mechanisms underlying seed dormancy is accelerated by the rapid progress of crop genomics. In the present study, we reviewed current status of research progress on the seed dormancy QTLs and correlated genes in Arabidopsis and cereal crops.

본 연구에서는 자포니카형인 '낙동'과 통일형인 '삼강' 조합의 DH 집단을 이용하여 식미를 결정하는 특성 중 하나인 호응집성과 미립의 이화학적 특성인 천립중, 장폭비, 아밀로즈 함량, 단백질 함량, 지질 함량 및 전분 함량 간 상관관계를 검정하였다. 또한 호응집성의 QTL을 분석하고, 각 QTL에 속하는 DNA marker와 DH 집단의 호응집성 및 품종별 호응집성 간 관계를 분석하였다. '삼강/낙동' DH 집단의 호응집성 범위는 35~94 mm로 비교

As an experimental reference population, crosses between Korean native pig and Landrace were established and information on seven meat quality traits was recorded. Animals were genotyped for 24 microsatellite markers covering hromosomes 2, 6, and 7 for pa
