Molecular-based genetic diversity for a set of 141 accessions of Korean barley cultivars and 24 accessions of foreign exotic cultivars were analyzed using random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs). Different level of genetic variability was observed with 30 random decamer primers in the Korean barley varieties and breeding lines which were preliminarily classified by morphological (hulled & hulless barley) and end-use (malting barley) and/or by the released periods. A total of 74 RAPD bands were scored, and the number of bands per primer varied from 1 to 7 with an average of 2.74. The hulled barley pool had one more marker genotype per primer than the hulless barley pool. The polymorphic information content (PIC) values based on the band pattern frequencies among genotypes varied depending on genetic pools where mean PICs of hulled, hulless and malting barleys were 0.62, 0.57, and 0.43, respectively. Certain genomic loci amplified by opR04, opF01, opB05, and opC13 were highly polymorphic with PIC>0.8. Patterns and temporal trends of genetic diversity assessed over the period from 1970s to 1990s had a tendency to increase, and in particular, this upward slant was quite clear and significant for the hulless barley pool. In the cluster analysis using genetic similarity matrix calculated from RAPD profiles, two major groups and several small subgroups were classified. Major grouping of materials was not affected by the presence of the husk but by their genetic background and the spike-row type. The validity of information on the genetic diversity and relationships between genotypes will have been reviewed to predict their yield potential.

국내~cdot 외 찰벼 111개 유전자원을 공시하여 수량구성요소, 아밀로스 함량, 알칼리 붕괴도등 작물학적 형질과 RAPD 분석을 통하여 유전적 다양성을 검토하였고, 이들을 이용한 유연관계 분석에 기초하여 품종군을 분류한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 작물학적 형질을 이용한 군집분석에서 찰벼 유전자원은 4개 군으로 분류되었으며, 1군에는 51종(46~%) 이 차지하였으며, II군과 III군에 각각 25종(22.5~%) , IV군에는 10종(9~%) 이 속하였다. 특히 국내 수집종은 I, II군에 대다수 포함되었고, III군에는 indica 유전자원과 amylose 함량이 높은 유전자원들이 대부분이 포함되었다. 2. RAPD분석을 통해 선발된 15개의 primer로 부터 117개의 밴드를 얻었고, 이 중 다형성 밴드는 81개 (69.2~%) 였다. 선발된 primer에서 증폭된 밴드의 수는 5~~12 개로 찰벼 유전자원은 평균 7.8개 였다. 3. RAPD에 의한 군집 분석시 9개 군으로 분류되었다. 전체 유전자원의 77~% 가 I군에 속하여 가장 큰 품종군으로 분류되었고, 그 외 II-IX군은 소군으로서 23~% 가 속하였다. 특히 I군에는 indica형과 조생종들이 많았고, 소군인 III-IX군에는 국내수집 유전자원들이 대부분이었다.

This study was carried out to select randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers associated with grain weight of a large-grain mutant, Hyacp 39-26-1, derived from anther culture of a rice cultivar, 'Hwayeongbyeo'. The segregation mode for grain weight in an F2 population from a cross, 'Hwayeongbyeo/Hyacp 39-26-1', showed a nearly normal distribution. One hundred and ninety-one F2 plants ranged from 21.8 g to 34.7 g in 1,000-grain weight with a mean of 26.8 g. Five hundred and twenty primers were used to detect the RAPD markers associated with the grain weight of the large-grain mutant. Of these primers, 54 primers showed polymorphism between 'Hwayeongbyeo' and 'Hyacp 39-26-1'. Four RAPD markers (OPB18, OPH07, OPT20, and OPX20) were significantly related to the grain weight of twenty one F3 lines derived from the cross, 'Hwayeongbyeo/Hyacp 39-26-1'. This RAPD marker could facilitate the early and efficient selection of high-yield lines through improvement of grain weight in rice.
