The level of genetic diversity and genetic relationships among Korean ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus karpowi) habitat and subspecies have been investigated based on Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers. Wild and domesticated Korean ring-necked pheasant, hybrids between domesticated Korean ring-necked and foreign subspecies, and four foreign subspecies; Chinese ring-necked (P. c. torquatus), Melanistic mutant (P. c. mut. tenebrosus), XL White (P. c. mut) and Southern green (P. c. versicolor) were used for comparison. On the basis of the results of AMOV A, 94.08% of genetic diversity in Korean ring-necked was allocated among individuals within habitat differences. Estimate of $\Phi$st, which represents the degree of genetic differentiation among habitats was 5.9%. Based on the dendrogram reconstructed by UPGMA, Yangpyung habitat of the eight habitats turned out to be distinct from others habitat. Interestingly, domesticated Korean ring-necked and hybrid mixture showed closer genetic relationship with four foreign subspecies than Korean ring-necked. As a consequence of AMOVA, 96.63% of genetic diversity in four foreign subspecies was allocated among individuals within subspecies. Estimate of $\Phi$st representing the degree of genetic differentiation among subspecies was 3.4%, which was lower than that among habitats of Korean ring-necked. The lower level of genetic difference among four foreign subspecies showed that these subspecies were genetically closer even though they were morphologically classified into four different subspecies. When seven habitats of Korean ring-necked pheasant and four foreign subspecies were divided into Korean and Foreign Pheasant Groups, respectively, more than 17% of genetic diversity was allocated between groups (about 4% among habitats/subspecies within groups). This observation implied that Korean ring-necked pheasant is genetically quite different from four foreign subspecies. On the basis of cluster analysis, three foreign subspecies (Chinese ring-necked pheasant, Melanistic mutant pheasant, and XL White pheasant) formed a distinct group with domesticated Korean ring-necked pheasant and hybrid mixture at 98% confidence interval.

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to analyze genetic similarity among 8 clones of apierous green peach aphid, two types (M. persicae Sulzer and M. nicotianae lack man) classified by their mo~hologi~cahla raters and host preference (Blackman, 1987), collected from tobacco plants. The genetic variation among these clones was evaluated by polymerase chain reaction amplification with 20 random primers. The higher GC contents of primers, the better in amplification efficiency of PCR reaction in general. The genetic similarities among eight aphid clones were analyzed from UPGMA (unweighted pair group average method) cluster analysis based on simple matching coefficient. The range of genetic similarity coefficients was 0.414 to 0.808. The most close relationship among the clones was similarity coefficient of 0.808 between the PG2 and the PG3 clone. The eight aphid clones analyzed were clustered into three groups by the genetic similarity coefficient. The first group, PG1, PG2, PG3 clone including in M. persicae type by their morphological characters and RED clone in M. nicotianae type was clustered at the genetic similarity coefficient of 0.643. The second group, GR1, GR2, BRN in M. nicotianae type was at the 0.636;and the third group was DBR clone in M. persicae type. The results did not indicate any correlation between m&-phological types (M. persicae and M. nicotianae) and RAPD polymorphism. We could not detect any obvious genetic relationships of the two morphological types of the green peach aphid collected from tobacco plants.

This study was carried out to reveal the genetic population structure of the Jeju Island population and the phylogenetic relationship of East Asian populations of the large-footed bat (Myotis macrodactylus) based on the genetic polymorphisms of mitochondrial cytochrome B (CYTB) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (ND1) gene sequences. A total of fourteen and nine haplotypes were found in the CYTB and ND1 sequences from East Asian bats, respectively. Haplotype distribution showed locality specific patterns. The results from ND1 haplotype analysis showed that the Jeju Island population has four haplotypes: the Mt. Halla and Western subpopulations have three ND1 haplotypes, but the Eastern subpopulation has just a single haplotype Nd03, which is commonly found on this island. The neighbor-joining (NJ) tree showed the closer relationship between Jeju Island and Japan rather than that between Jeju and Gangwon-do Province. The divergence time between the maternal ancestor lineages of Japanese and Chinese populations was estimated to be 0.789±0.063 MYBP. The secondary divergence between Jeju and Japanese bats was calculated about to be 0.168±0.013 MYBP. The Jeju population has immigrated to the island at least fifty thousand years ago. In addition, ND1 haplotype analysis suggested that the insular bats have experienced at least two further genetic differentiation events within this island. Consequently, these findings suggested that the results of this study may play a critical role in understanding the phylogenetic relationship among East Asian bat populations of M. macrodactylus. To prepare more explainable information on evolutionary correlation, analysis is still required to examine using expanded samples from China, Russia, and southern parts of the Korean Peninsula.

The goals of this study were to identify sequence variations in the mitochondrial cytochrome b (mtDNA cyt b) gene in White Hanwoo (Wh) and the genetic relationship between the Wh and other breeds. When whole sequences of the mtDNA cyt b gene in 14 Wh cattle were determined, a silent mutation and two haplotypes were detected in the Wh cattle. The major haplotype, H1, was found in 13 of 14 individuals in the Wh cattle. Haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity were 0.143 and 0.00013, respectively. Compared to previous reports, these levels of genetic diversity are lower than other Korean and Chinese breeds. To identify the genetic relationship among Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and European cattle breeds, the neighbor-joining (NJ) tree was constructed based on Dxy genetic distances. Two distinct groups were identified and classified as A and B. Wh was found in the A group, which consisted of Bos taurus breeds. From calculating the Dxy genetic distances, Wh was found to be genetically more closely related to two breeds, Heugu (0.00018) and Yanbian (0.00021), than to other breeds. In conclusion, Wh is genetically related to Chikso, Heugu, and Yanbian breeds based on maternal inheritance. The results of this study will be useful for efficient management and sustainable utilization of Wh.

Genotype data from seven microsatellites typed in 231 animals were used to estimate the genetic structures of eight cow population distributed by regional area in Hanwoo (Korean cattle). In total, 53 alleles were detected from the genotyping of seven microsatellite markers. The average of expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.682 to 0.734 in 8 population of Hanwoo. Even though there were also some of alleles that were found in only specific regional population, similar frequency pattern for the most of alleles appeared in various 8 population. Genetic distances between populations were obtained using STDUPGMA method to construct a phylogenetic tree. The tree illustrated that most individuals were grouped on the basis of populations, distributed by the regional area. Some of genetic parameter on the basis of microsatellite gonotyping appears to provide a useful tool for examining the regional area kindship and genetic variation in Hanwoo.

Using the cytb gene region of the mitochondrial DNA of eight populations of Sarcocheilichthys nigripinnis morii and five populations of S. variegatus wakiyae, which belong to the genus Sarcocheilichthys from Korea, the genetic diversity and molecular phylogenetic relationships of each population were examined. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the S. variegatus wakiyae population had higher genetic diversity than the S. nigripinnis morii population. In the phylogenetic tree of genus Sarcocheilichthys fish in Korea based on the cytb gene, the Yeongsan River (YSR) population of S. variegatus wakiyae forms a clade with the Tamjin River (TJR), Yeongsan River (YSR), and Seomjin River (SJR) population of S. nigripinnis morii, and genetic relationships that do not align with the current classification system were observed. Meanwhile, on the nuclear DNA phylogenetic tree, S. variegatus wakiyae and S. nigripinnis morii could be clearly distinguished, showing mitonuclear inconsistency where mitochondrial and nuclear DNA conflicted on the phylogenetic tree. The Seomjin River (SJR) population of S. nigripinnis morii was translocated to the Dongjin River (DJR) population, haplotype from which crossbreeding was presumed to have occurred was confirmed. Among the rivers flowing into the East Sea, the S. nigripinnis morii population is known to have been introduced and inhabit only the Hyeongsan River (HSR), and it is presumed to be a population formed by translocation from the Han River (HR) population, with a haplotype representing a unique genetic group also confirmed. The Han River (HR), Geum River (GR), and Mangyeong River (MGR) populations of S. nigripinnis morii formed a genetically identical population with S. czerskii and S. soldatovi distributed north of the Yalu River, and accordingly, a taxonomic reexamination was required through morphological and molecular phylogenetic studies by securing various specimens.

AFLP markers were employed to detect genetic diversity and genetic relationship among 26 accessions of foxtail millet collected from Korea. Analysis of 26 accessions of foxtail millet with nine AFLP primer set combinations detected a total of 170 bands, of which 145 (85.3%) showed polymorphic at the species level. The phenotypic diversity (Hs) calculated for the nine primer combinations ranged from 1.84 to 6.8, with an average of 3.85. The average phenotypic diversity values were 3.39 and 2.99 for accessions collected from Gangwon province (Group 1), and accessions collected from the other areas including Gyeonggi province (Group 2), respectively. In the cluster analysis of 26 accessions, two major groups were recognized at 73% genetic similarity. Group I includes 13 accessions, which were collected in Gangwon province, and 1 accession, which was collected in Gyeonggi province, with genetic similarity of 76.8%. Group II includes two accessions, which were collected in Gangwon province, and 10 accessions, which were collected in the other areas with genetic similarity of 78.9%. The presenting data on the assessment of genetic diversity and genetic relationships among Korean accessions of foxtail millet will be helpful for efficient collection or conservation strategy of foxtail millet germplasm in Korea.
