한국산 털보톡토기과(Collembola, Insecta)의 계통유연관계를 알아보기 위해 이 과에 속하는 3개속(Sinella, Entomobrya, Homidia)의 6종과 가시톡토기과의 1종(Tomocerus kinoshitai)에 대하여 모서식과 형태적 조사 외에 전기영동을 이용한 효소분석을 시리시하였다. 이들 모든 조사에서 32개의 형태형질과 33개의 모서식형질 및 80개의 효소유전자 형질을 얻어 분지분석하였는데, 이중 효소유전자에 대해서는 UPGMA방법도 적용하였다. 이러한 분석 결과 다양한 분지도를 얻었으나, Homidia종들은 언제나 두 개의 무리로 분리되었으며, Homidia munda의 두 아종이 가장 유연관계가 높았다. 반면에 Homidia koreana의 두 개체군은 다소 분리되어 같은 종으로 보기 의심스럽다는 소견을 얻었다. 또한 형태형질분석으로 얻은 계통수에서 가시톡토기과의 Tomocerus종이 털보톡토기과의 속들 사이에 끼어들어 나타나는데 이것은 형질에 따라 비중을 달리두는 평가방법이 아니기 때문에 나타난 것으로 추측된다. 본 연구 결과 대체로 외부형질과 모서식, 그리고 효소유전자의 세가지 유형의 형질들을 종합 분석할 때 도출되는 계통수가 자연분류에 가장 가까운 근연성을 보이는 것으로 판단되었다.

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was used to detect the genetic diversity of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) varieties and field bean (Glycine soza Sieb. and Zucc.) Five soybean varieties and one field bean were analysed with random primers using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Nine primers of a total twenty random primer were selected to amplify DNA segments. A total of 74 PCR products were amplified and 67.6% of which were polymorphic. The size of DNA molecule is ranged 0.13~2.0Kb and typically generated four to eight major bands. Specific genetic marker were revealed in primer sequence 5'-CAG GCC CIT C-3', 5'-TGC TCT GCC C-3' and 5'-GTC CAC ACG G-3', respectively. Genetic similarity between each of the varieties were calculated from the pair-wise comparisons of amplification products and a dendrogram was constructed by an unweighted pair-group method with arithmethical means (UPGMA). The results indicate that intervarietal relationships of soybean have a narrow genetic base and between the varieties, Hwanggum-kong and Seckryang-bootkong is more closely related than the rest of varieties, and field bean is related quite distant.

This study presents a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the harmful dinoflagellate Cochlodinium polykrikoides, by use of partial sequence of small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene from most of the major taxa(24 species) in dinoflagellates. The class Dinophyceae clade formed a strong monophyletic relationship with C. polykrikoides and several taxa. On the basis of deeper nodes, the phylogenetic relationships placed C. polykrikoides closer to the order Prorocentrales rather than to the order Gymnodiniales, which was supported by a strong bootstrap value (100%) in the analyses of Neighbor-Joining and Parsimony methods. There is strong support for C. polykrikoides being placed in the same branch as Gymnodiniaceae and being connected in a clade with Prororcentrum micans among Prorocentrales. Morphological data show that C. polykrikoides is well associated with the genus Gyrodinium; however, this species is genetically closer to Gymnodinium than to Gyrodinium. The placement of C. polykrikoides always formed an independent branch separated from other dinoflagellates. In conclusion, planktonic P. micans plays an important role as an ancestor of Gymnodinium, whereas C. polykrikoides appears to be used an intermediate position between P. micans and Gymnodinium based on evolution.

Lentinus lepideus, known as train wrecker fungus, has been used for nutritional and medicinal purposes. Recently, commercial cultivation technique and a new cultivar of the mushroom were developed. To investigate the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship for identifying the mushroom strains and cultivar, one commercial and 13 strains of Lentinus lepideus from different geographical regions of Korea were analyzed by ITS regions of rDNA and RAPD of genomic DNA. Three strains of Lentinus edodes were also used for the analysis. The size of the ITS1 and ITS2 regions of rDNA from the different strains varied from 173 to 179 bp and 203 to 205 bp, respectively. The sequence of ITS1 was more variable than that of ITS2, while the 5.8S sequences were identical with 156 base pairs. A phylogenetic tree based on the ITS region sequences indicated that selected strains could be classified into four clusters, while 3 strains of L. edodes was divided into a new cluster. Ten primers out of 20 arbitrary primers used in the RAPD-PCR efficiently amplified the genomic DNA. The numbers of amplified DNA bands varied with the primers and strains, with polymorphic DNA fragments in the range from 0.2 to 2.6 kb. The results showed that phylogenetic relationship among Korean strains of Lentnus lepideus is high, but genetic diversity is low.

Phylogenetic relationships and DNA polymorphism among local populations of the Korean native catfish species, Liobagrus mediadiposalis, have been investigated based on mitochondrial cytochrome b DNA sequences. As a result, three genetically distinct groups of local populations were recognized based on the phylogenetic tree constructed. The first group was called "Nakdong-river group" that included the local populations from Geumho-river, Gyeongho-river, and Deokcheon-river; the second one was "Geum-river group"; the third one was represented as "Seomjin-river group" that included the samples from Seomjin-river, Dongjin-river and Geokum-do. The phylogeny also implied that the ancestral group of L. mediadiposalis have first evolved to Nakdong-river group, and later two local populations (Geum-river and Seomjinriver group) were diverged from the other lineage. DNA polymorphisms we observed were 4.4~4.7% between Geum-river group and Seomjin-river group, 5.1~5.5% between Seomjinriver group and Nakdong-river group, and 5.5~5.7% between Nakdong-river group and Geumriver group. These results indicated the long period of geographic isolation due to the river system in Korea caused such high degrees of DNA polymorphisms between local populations of L. mediadiposalis.

RAPD-PCR was applied to identify the phylogenetic relationship between isolated Korean-type coliphages ($\phi$C1, $\phi$C2, $\phi$C3 and $\phi$C4) and well-known American coliphages ($\phi$T2, $\phi$T4, $\phi$T5, $\phi$T7 and ${\phi}{\lambda}$). Subsequently, a computer analysis was carried out with the results of RAPD-PCR. As a result, 9 individuals were divided into five groups. The Korean-type coliphages formed a single cluster which showed very high genetic similarity but the American-type coliphages revealed very low genetic similarity among them. In particular, the $\phi$T2와 $\phi$T4 (T$_{even}$ phages) made one sub-cluster among American coliphages, and they were very distant from $\phi$T5, $\phi$T7 and ${\phi}{\lambda}$. However, ${\phi}{\lambda}$ made a cluster with the Korean-type coliphages that we isolated. The genome size of Korean-type coliphages was ranged from 25,000 bp to 35,000 bp. Among them, the genome of $\phi$C2 was the smallest and that of $\phi$C1 was the biggest, while others were in the middle of the size.

This study was carried our to examine the genetic relationship of 13 commercial turfgrass cultivars using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA to provide genetic informations more efficient golf course management. Analysis of 56 random hexamer primers generated 13 to 54 polymorphic bands among the 13 cultivars with an average of 30.7 bands per primer. The results of cluster analysis based on RAPDs revealed that three major variety groups: Group I - 'Shadow II', 'Aurora Gold', 'Little Bighorn Blue', 'PennA-1', and 'PennA-4'; Group II - 'Midnight II', 'Prosperity', 'Moon light SLT', 'Bright star SLT', and 'Silver dollar'; and Group III - 'Olympic Gold', 'Silver Star', and 'Tar Heel II'. The genetic similarity coefficients among 13 turfgrass cultivars ranged from 0.039 to 1.0 with highest coefficient in Group III. Studies on morphological characters and the effective molecular markers such as sequence characterized amplified regions are further needed to identify relationships and genetic diversities within species and among species.

Since the early 1980s, the National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Sciences has been breeding and collecting diverse radish breeds to select those samples with better horticultural characteristics, to ultimately expand and develop as good radish produce. Genetic diversity is a crucial factor in crop improvement and therefore it is very important to obtain various variations through sample collection. The collected samples were compared with one another in order to assess the level of diversity among the collections, and this procedure allowed for increased application of the gathered resources and aided in determining the direction to secure further samples. Towards this end, this experiment was conducted in order to examine whether the SSR markers derived from Chinese cabbage samples could be transferred to the radish samples. Among the radish breeding lines and introduced resources, 44 lines were used as materials to analyze the genotype using 22 SSR markers selected. As a result, the analysis showed that among all the selected markers, 'cnu_m139' and 'cnu_m289' were the most useful markers for diversity evaluation. The genetic relationship of the radish genetic resources showed that the geographic origins affected the diversity. Furthermore, the different types of radish groups were also determined by the year they were bred. This result demonstrated that there are differences between the older radish breeds and the more recently developed radish breeds. Even though a relatively small number of markers were used in the analysis, it was possible to distinguish whether the radish was bred 30 years ago or in the 2000s, and that the similar physical shapes comprised a particular group, showed that the SSR markers can indeed be successfully applied to to study the diversity within radish breeding lines. Through the results of this study, it can be concluded that the SSR marker developed for the Chinese cabbage can be applied to examine the genetic diversity and analyze the relationship (genetic resource determination) of radish.
