The erect habit of fruit setting is a unique characteristic of ornamental peppers and wild pepper species. The erect habit is known to be controlled by the up locus on pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) chromosome 12. The result of a genetic analysis using Saengryeog 211 (pendant), Saengryeog 213 (erect), and their $F_1$ and $BC_1$ progeny demonstrated that up is a recessive gene. To develop an up-linked marker, bulked segregant analysis (BSA) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) were employed using 108 $F_{2:3}$ individuals. The closest AFLP marker, $A2C7_{469}$, was located at a genetic distance of 1.7 cM from the up locus and was converted into a cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) marker. This marker was mapped at a genetic distance of 4.3 cM from the up locus. When the CAPS was applied to seven ornamental lines and 27 breeding lines with erect fruit, these genotypes of 28 lines were correctly predicted. Thus, the CAPS marker will be useful for marker-assisted selection (MAS) of pepper breeding lines with the up allele at the early seedling stage.

A mutant Arabidopsis thaliana which is very sensitive to Ultraviolet-B(UV-B) radiation has been isolated by ethylmethane sulfonate(EMS) mutagenesis. Genetic cross proved the UV-sensitive gene(uvs) to segregate as a single Mendelian locus. For mapping of uvs, we crossed Arabidopsis thaliana Lansberg with uvs plant(Columbia), and made F2 plants by F1 selfcross. We designed 10 kinds of CAPS marker primers. Each primers amplifies a single mapped DNA sequence from uvs and Lansberg erecta ecotyres. Also identified was at least one restriction endonuclase for each of these PCR product that generates ecotype-specific digestion pattern. We got crossing over value of UB-sensitivity and each CAPS marker which located on different chromosome arm. The value of crossing over showed that uvs was linked to LFY3 which was on chromosome 5.

The old-gold-crimson ($og^c$) fruit color mutation produces deep red tomato fruit with high lycopene content. age is a null mutation allele of lycopene-${\beta}$-cyclase (Crt-b) gene (B locus) that converts lycopene to ${\beta}$-carotene in the cartenoid biosynthesis pathway in tomato. Breeding of high lycopene tomato cultivars can be accelerated by marker-assisted selection (MAS) for introgression of $og^c$ allele by using a gene-based DNA marker. In order to develop a marker, single nucleotide deletion of adenine(A) with. in a poly-A repeat that has been known to be responsible for frame-shift mutation of $og^c$ was confirmed by resequencing mutant allele and wild-type allele at B locus of several tomato lines. For allele discrimination and detection of $og^c$, derived CAPS (dCAPS) approach was used by designing a primer that artificially introduced restriction enzyme recognition site of Hin fI in PCR products from $og^c$ allele. This dCAPS marker is co-dominant gene-based PCR marker that can be efficiently used for MAS breeding program aiming the development of high lycopene tomato.

The cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) marker uses a restriction enzyme recognition site resulting from single nucleotide polymorphisms and insertions and deletions on the DNA sequence. This technique does not require expensive equipment, the process is simple, and clear results can be obtained reliably. In this study, Agaricus bisporus cultivars SaeA, SaeDo, SaeHan, SaeYeon, SaeJeong, Dodam, Seolgang, Dahyang, Hogam, and Hadam developed in Korea were discriminated using four CAPS markers. Our results indicated that it is possible to distinguish the ten cultivars and determine the genetic diversity among them.

Tomato hypocotyl can generally be one of two colors, purple or green. Genetically, this trait is controlled by a single dominant gene. Hypocotyl tissue specific color expression is one of many visible genetic marker sources used to select tomato progeny. However, the visible marker does not show a clear distinction between homozygous genotype and heterozygous genotype from the breeding lines. Therefore, to identify a hypocotyl pigmentation related marker, we screened DNA polymorphisms in thirteen tomato lines showing purple or green hypocotyls. The markers used for screening consisted of primer set information obtained from anthocyanin related genes, conserved ortholog set II (COS II) marker sets localized near anthocyanin related genes, and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers localized near COS II markers, which produce polymorphisms between purple and green tomatoes. One primer from a RFLP fragment resulted in a polymorphism on agarose gel electrophoresis. From the RFLP fragment, a cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) marker was developed to distinguish between purple and green hypocotyls. The genotypes of 135 $F_2$ individuals were analyzed using the CAPS marker, and among them, 132 individuals corresponded to the phenotypes of hypocotyl pigmentation.

This study aimed to cross between Korean and Japanese pure lines of Neopyropia strains to establish cross breeding technology and identify a superior variety that harbors the strength of both parents. Four crossing combinations were tried using three methods, resulting in 1,476 single conchocelis colonies. The three co-dominant Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequence (CAPS) markers (EF-1α/Mse I, TOP2/Mse I, car A/ApaL I) were used to distinguish heterozygotic sporophytes and their maternal lines obtained from the inter and intraspecific cross-fertilization within the wild type of Neopyropia strains. Of the 1,476 colonies, 26.9% (218) were heterozygotes obtained from the nuclear CAPS markers. Their maternal line was clearly confirmed using organelle CAPS marker and chimeric thallus was obtained from crossing experiment of Japanese N. yezoensis (♀) and Korean N. yezoensis (♂). The use of CAPS markers improved the efficiency of crossbreeding by quickly screening heterozygotes and maternal lines in the conchocelis phase, which otherwise required pigmentation mutants as genetic markers.

This study was conducted to develop the DNA markers for identification of the strawberry cultivars in Korea and Japan. We developed fifteen cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers based on the Fragaria gene sequences. Among them six CAPS markers showed polymorphism exclusively in one cultivar. Five CAPS markers (ANR-MspI, ANR-BamHI, ACO-HinfI, DFR-AseI, FGT-MspI) provided enough polymorphism to identify eight Korean strawberry cultivars except for 'Maehyang' and 'Sunhong'. To complement the fifteen CAPS markers, we selected another fifteen sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) and one of them, me1/em5_460bp marker, made it possible to discriminate between 'Maehyang' and 'Sunhong'. Therefore, application of the five CAPS markers and one SRAP marker were sufficient to identify the nineteen Korean and Japanese strawberry cultivars. These markers could be used practically for cultivar identification of Korean and Japanese strawberry.

In Korea, the oak mushroom (Lentinula edodes) is highly preferred by consumers in the food industry and makes up about 97.7% of the total forest mushroom production. This indicates that the oak mushroom is an important non-timber forest product in Korea. Recently, the breeding and development of new cultivars of L. edodes have been actively initiated, and the development of molecular markers that are able to identify and discriminate the new cultivars is crucial for protecting the breeder's rights. This study was carried out to develop a cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) marker for the identification and discrimination of a new cultivar, Sanmaru 2ho from the 37 other oak mushroom cultivars. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was identified at the $1,803,483^{rd}$ position of scaffold2 in the genome of Sanmaru 2ho. The amplified DNA containing the SNP of Sanmaru 2ho was uniquely not cleaved by the restriction enzyme, Hha I, and thus Sanmaru 2ho was successfully distinguished from the other oak mushroom cultivars.

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in plants, which is due to failure to produce functional pollen, is a maternally inherited trait. Specific nuclear genes that suppress CMS, termed fertility restorer (Rf) genes, have been identified in several plants. In this study, Rfl-inked molecular markers in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) were detected by bulked segregant analysis of eight amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs). Only AFRF8 was successfully converted to a cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) marker. This was named AFRF8CAPS and genotype determination using it agreed with that obtained with the original AFRF8. A linkage map with a total size of 54.1 cM was constructed with AFRF8CAPS and the seven AFLP markers using the Kosambi function. The AFRF8CAPS marker was shown to be closest to Rf with a genetic distance of 1.8 cM. These markers will be useful for fast and reliable detection of restorer lines during $F_1$ hybrid seed production and breeding programs in pepper.

Balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC.) is a perennial plant of mainly Campanulaceae family, which have been widely used as a food ingredient and herbal medicine in East Asia. Although demands on related products and yearly cultivation area for balloon flower are increasing, diverse fundamental technologies and molecular breeding studies are not very well supported in Platycodons. In this study, 30 random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers were test in an attempt to explore genetic diversities. In addition, sequences information of the actin gene, a well conserved gene encoding a globular protein that forms microfilaments, was retrieved and analyzed. Two actin homologs were recovered; 3.4 kb fragment is a Pg-actin and 1.4 kb fragment is a Pg-actin homolog with 28.6% similarity. We have confirmed that the Pg-actin gene is configured into 4 exons and 3 introns. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), G↔A, was detected on the intron 3, which served as a target for the CAPS marker development. The marker Pg-Actin-Int3 was applied to 32 balloon flower accessions. Balloon flower DNA sequence information generated in this study is expected to contribute to the analysis and molecular breeding and genetic diversity analysis of balloon flowers.
