This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of legume reseeding on legume establishment, dry matter yield, quality and botanical composition of grasses in timothy(Ph1eum prarense L.) dominated pasture at alpine area. Establishment number and percenta

The legume family is the third largest group, including approximately 650 genera and 18,000 species, in the flowering plants and the second important crops to the Poaceae in the agricultural economy. Comparative analysis is a useful tool to understand cross-species genomic structure and alterations during organism’s evolutionary history. In this study, we constructed a composite comparative map of ten legume species, including Medicago truncatula, Medicago sativa, Lens culinaris, Pisum sativum, Lotus japonicus, Cicer arietinum, Vicia faba L, Vigna radiata, Phaseolus vulgaris and Glycine max. Of these species, M. truncatula, which is a representative model system, played a central role to develop the cross-genome amplifiable PCR gene markers for the purpose of transferring them to other related legume species. A total of 140 cross-species core markers were employed to analyze genomic colinearity across this broad array of legume species. The comparative map demonstrates a diverse array of evolutionary events, such as duplications, inversions and reciprocal translocations. It is anticipated that resulting maps would provide a broader insights into the lineage-specific genomic organization of these glalegoid/phaseoloid legumes, which are two clades containing almost all crop legumes of economic importance, and can further used for the molecular breeding through translating genomic information into other orphan legumes.

본 연구에서는 경상북도 일원에서 수집한 자귀나부(Albizia julibrissin)를 포함한 두과식물 17종에서 인체의 혈당저하제의 원료로 사용되는 pinitol 함량을 식물체 부위별로 조사하였는 바, 결과를 요약하면 아래와 같다. 1. 수집한 17개 두과식물 종간에는 pinitol 함량에서 유의적인 차이가 인정되었으며, 종별 총 pinitol 함량에서는 비수리(Lespedeza cuneata)가 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 식물체 부위별로 pinitol 함량을 살펴보면 대체적으로 잎, 줄기, 꼬투리, 종자, 뿌리의 순으로 많았다. 2. 잎에서 비교적 많은 pinitol 함량을 보인 식물은 골담초, 족제비싸리, 돌동부 및 비수리로 각각 59.9 mg/g, 62.2 mg/g, 69.6 mg/g, 65.4 mg/g으로 약 60 mg/g이상을 나타내었고, 줄기의 경우는 황기가 34.0 mg/g으로 비교적 높게 나타났으며, 뿌리에서는 칡이 24.6 mg/g으로 가장 높았으며, 감초와 골담초가 16.9 mg/g, 16.5 mg/g으로 그 다음으로 높았다. 그러나 꼬투리나 종자에서는 제비콩(52.5 mg/g)과 비수리(24.9 mg/g)를 제외하고 pinitol 함량은 잎이나 줄기에 비해 모든 조사식물에서 상대적으로 낮았다. 3. 조사대상 식물체의 pinitol 함량과 수확 가능한 식물체량을 고려할 때, 실제 약용으로 이용 가능성이 가장 높은 식물은 비수리이었다. 비수리의 경우 전국적인 수집을 통해 pinitol 함량이 높은 계통을 선발한다면 이용가능성 이 높은 pinitol 추출용 계통의 선발이나 보다 이용가치가 높은 새로운 품종의 육성도 가능할 것으로 생각된다.
