Abstract

The genome size is one of the basic characters of an organism, and it is widely applied in various fields of biology, such as systematics, breeding biology, population biology, and evolutionary biology. This factor was recently highlighted in genome studies because choosing a representative of a plant group having the smallest genome size is important for the efficiency of a genome project. For the estimation of the genome size, flow cytometry has recently been highlighted because it is a convenient, fast, and reliable method. In this study, we report the genome sizes of 15 taxa of Lamiaceae from nine genera distributed in Korea using flow cytometry. Data pertaining to the genome size for all of our species have not been reported thus far, and the data from Agastache, Clinopodium, Elsholtzia, and Isodon are the first reported for each genus. The genome sizes of 15 genera and 39 species were reported to the Plant DNA C-values Database (http://data.kew.org/cvalues/). Scutellaria indica L. has a genome size of 0.37 pg (1C). This is the fourth smallest value among the 98 Lamiaceae taxa in the Angiosperm DNA C-value Database, indicating that this taxon can be used as a reference species in the genome studies in Lamiaceae as a native Korean species. The largest genome size observed in this study is in Phlomis umbrosa Turcz. (1C=2.60 pg), representing the possible polyploidy origin of this species in the family.

한 생물체의 전체 유전체 크기는 계통학, 육종학, 집단유전학, 진화학과 같은 많은 분야에 활용될 수 있는 기본적인 정보이다. 최근에는 전체 유전체 결정 연구에서 특히 강조되고 있는데, 이는 최소 유전체 크기를 갖는 분류군의 선택은 유전체 결정사업의 효율성과 직접적으로 연관되어 있기 때문이다. 그러므로 유전체 연구의 선행 단계로서 연구 대상 종 및 연관된 분류군들의 유전체 양의 파악은 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 쉽고 빠르면서도 신뢰성 있는 방법으로 알려져 있는 flow cytometry를 이용하여 한반도에 자생하는 꿀풀과의 9속 15 분류군에 대한 유전체 크기를 측정하였다. 본 연구에서 유전체 양이 측정된 15 분류군들은 모두 최초로 그 유전체 양이 조사된 분류군들로서 Plant DNA C-value Database (http://data.kew.org/cvalues/)에 수록된 바 없는데, 특히 Agastache, Clinopodium, Elsholtzia, Isodon에 속하는 분류군들은 속 수준에서의 최초의 보고이다. 골무꽃(Scutellaria indica L.)은 0.37 pg (1C)의 유전체 크기를 갖는 것으로 측정되었는데, 이는 현재까지 보고된 꿀풀과 98 분류군의 유전체 양들 중 네 번째로 유전체의 크기가 작은 분류군이다. 이에 골무꽃은 향후 유전체 연구를 위해 꿀풀과를 대표할 한국 자생종으로서 우선적으로 선택하여 분석할 수 있는 종일 것이다. 조사된 분류군들 중 가장 유전체 크기가 큰 분류군은 속단(Phlomis umbrosa Turcz.; 1C=2.6 pg)으로서 이는 다배체 형성에 의한 본 종의 기원 가능성을 제시하고 있다.
