Little millet (Panicum sumatrense) is well known for its salt and drought stress tolerance and high nutritional value, but very limited knowledge of genetic variation and genomic information is available. This study was to develop highly polymorphic EST-SSR markers based on cross-species transferability of derived SSRs from switchgrass EST databases and characterize newly developed EST - SSRs to better understand the genetic diversity of collected 37 germplasm accessions of little millet. A total of 779 primer pairs were designed from the 22,961 EST sequences of switchgrass (Pancium virgatum), of which 48 EST - SSR markers were developed based on the trials of transferability of these primers in little millet. The EST - SSR amplicons showed reproducible single band polymorphism and produced a total of 160 alleles with an average of 3.3 alleles per locus in 37 accessions of little millet. T he average values of expected and observed heterozygosities were 0.266 and 0.123, respectively. T he polymorphic information content (PIC) values were observed in range of 0.026 to 0.549 with an average of 0.240. The genetic relatedness among the little millet accessions was evaluated by neighbor-joining dendrogram, which grouped all accessions into two distinct groups. The validation thus demonstrated the utility of the switchgrass EST - SSR markers in assessing genomic relationships in little millet. T he findings from this study could be useful for designing strategies for the identification of diverse germplasm for conservation and future molecular breeding programs for little millet.

Background: The live bird market (LBM) plays an important role in the dynamic evolution of the avian influenza H5N1 virus. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to monitor the genetic diversity of the H5N1 viruses in LBMs in Indonesia. Methods: Therefore, the disease surveillance was conducted in the area of Banten, West Java, Central Java, East Java, and Jakarta Province, Indonesia from 2014 to 2019. Subsequently, the genetic characterization of the H5N1 viruses was performed by sequencing all 8 segments of the viral genome. Results: As a result, the H5N1 viruses were detected in most of LBMs in both bird' cloacal and environmental samples, in which about 35% of all samples were positive for influenza A and, subsequently, about 52% of these samples were positive for H5 subtyping. Based on the genetic analyses of 14 viruses isolated from LBMs, genetic diversities of the H5N1 viruses were identified including clades 2.1.3 and 2.3.2 as typical predominant groups as well as reassortant viruses between these 2 clades. Conclusions: As a consequence, zoonotic transmission to humans in the market could be occurred from the exposure of infected birds and/or contaminated environments. Moreover, new virus variants could emerge from the LBM environment. Therefore, improving pandemic preparedness raised great concerns related to the zoonotic aspect of new influenza variants because of its high adaptivity and efficiency for human infection.

미국과 멕시코 지역이 원산지로 알려진 미국가재는 세계적인 침입종으로서, 최근 국내에서도 자연개체군의 출현과 개체수의 증가가 보고 되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 미토콘드리아 COI 유전자 및 초위성체 마커를 이용하여, 다양한 체색을 포함한 침입 자연개체군, 유입경로로 추정되는 수족관 개체군, 원산지 개체군인 미국 개체군의 유전자 다양성 및 집단유전학 분석을 수행하였다. 미토콘드리아 COI 유전자 다양성 분석 결과, 국내에서 채집된 침입 자연개체군(33개체)과 수족관 개체군(226개체)에서 5개의 단상형만이 발견되었으며, 초위성체 마커를 이용한 집단유전학 분석 결과에서도 침입 자연개체군과 수족관 개체군은 낮은 유전자 다양성을 나타냈다. 미국 개체군의 유전자 다양성은 두 마커에서 모두 높게 나타났는데, 이는 일반적으로 원산지(source population) 개체군이 높은 유전자 다양성을 가지는 특성을 보여준다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 미국 개체군에서 수족관 개체군으로 그리고 침입 자연개체군으로 유입된 경로를 직접적으로 보여주지는 않으나, 모든 개체군에서 공유되는 COI 단상형(haplotype)과 낮은 유전적 분화도(FST)로 볼 때, 원산지인 미국으로부터 수입된 개체들이 각기 다른 수족관을 통해 침입 자연개체군으로 유입되었을 가능성을 보여준다. 특히 수족관 개체군은 많은 개체수임에도 불구하고, 매우 낮은 유전적 다양성을 보임으로써 창시자 효과 후 inbreeding에 의한 개체군일 가능성을 보여주며, 이는 소수의 개체로부터 대량 증식되었을 가능성을 보여준다. 또한 서로 다른 체색을 띠는 수족관 개체들은 체색에 따른 유전적 차이는 없었다. 다만 주홍색 가재와 흰색 가재에서 더 높은 inbreeding이 나타났을 가능성을 보여준다. 따라서 자연개체군의 체색의 경우 수족관 개체의 특정 체색으로부터 유입되었다기보다는 자연환경에서 적응에 의해 나타난 변화의 가능성이 높다고 할 수 있다. 또한 침입 자연개체군의 낮은 유전적 다양성으로 볼 때 초기 국내 자연개체군의 유효집단(effective population)의 크기는 크지 않을 것으로 보이며, 근거리에 위치한 두 침입 자연개체군의 비교적 큰 유전적 분화도 결과로 볼 때 두 침입 자연개체군의 유전적 흐름보다는, 원산지인 미국의 다양한 유전자형이 다양한 국내 지역 수족관으로 유입되고, 이후 각각 다른 경로를 통해 각각의 자연개체군을 형성했을 것으로 보인다. 이는 본 연구에 포함되지 않은 다른 유입경로가 있음을 보여주며, 대량 사육되어 판매되는 미국가재가 자연개체군으로 유입되었을 가능성을 나타낸다. 본 연구 결과에서 얻은 미국 개체군, 국내 수족관 개체군, 국내 침입 자연개체군의 유전자 다양성 및 집단유전학 연구는 개체군 증가와 확산이 우려되는 국내 침입 자연개체군의 크기 및 유입경로를 추론하는 데 중요한 정보가 될 것이며, 이후 국내 자연개체군 대량 발생의 분석과 모니터링에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Genetic diversity of Plasmodiophora brassicae from major chinese cabbage cultivating areas in Korea was analyzed by using PCR-RFLP and RAPD. Single spores of P brassicae isolated from galls of club root made induce lesion on chinese cabbage successfully. The PCR-RFLP and RAPD by primers PbITS, URP 3, 6 and OPA 7 revealed that single spore isolates showed various DNA polymorphisms among them unrelated geographic origins. These results indicate that P. brassicae population in Korea showed genetic difference among them. This study could be facilitate to identify genetic characteristics ofP. brassicae based on DNA polymorphisms between single spore isolates and to get basic information which can be used to advanced resistance breeding against club root of chinese cabbage.

The population structure of a domesticated species is influenced by the natural history of the populations of its pre-domesticated ancestors, as well as by the breeding system and complexity of breeding practices implemented by humans. In the genetic and population structure analysis of 122 South Asia collections using 29 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, 362 alleles were detected, with an average of 12.5 per locus. The average expected heterozygosity and polymorphism information content (PIC) for each SSR locus were 0.74 and 0.72,respectively. The model-based structure analysis revealed the presence of three clusters with the 91.8% (shared > 75%) membership, with 8.2% showing admixture. The genetic distances of Clusters 1-3 were 0.55, 0.56, and 0.68, respectively. Polymorphic information content followed the same trend (Cluster 3 had the highest value and Cluster 1 had smallest value), with genetic distances for each cluster of 0.52, 0.52, and 0.65, respectively. This result could be used for supporting rice breeding programs in South Asia countries.

Lepomis macrochirus from the family Centrarchidae, commonly known as Bluegill sunfish, is an introduced freshwater fish in Korea that thrives in lakes, ponds, reservoirs and rivers. Since its introduction into Korea in 1969, Lepomis macrochirus has rapidly dispersed out and increased in number almost all over the freshwater ecosystems in Korea. Consequently this species causes a severe ecological problem, threatening native fishes due to its omnivorous foraging behaviors upon fish juveniles and many freshwater invertebrates. To address population genetic structure of L. macrochirus, 74 fish samples from 10 populations were collected and compared for their mitochondrial D-loop control region. As the result we found that the genetic diversity of L. macrochirus is extremely low such as resulting only four haplotypes with a few nucleotide differences among them. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed that the source of population genetic variation is largely retained in the comparisons among individuals within populations, while it is relatively low with slight significance at the highest hierarchical group. This distribution pattern differs from what is expected when biogeography is under the influence of natural geographic barriers such as mountain ranges in Korea. Instead the result is accord with the influential role of random spreading events facilitated by local people for aquaculture and fishing, and subsequent dispersals since its single point of introduction into Korea.

As a part of the on-going effort to conserve endangered Scrophularia takesimensis Nakai in Korea, its genetic structure and diversity from 3 population, consisted of 14 subpopulations in Ulleung Island were analyzed using RAPD band patterns. Out of 60 primers tested, 33 generated amplified bands with its genome, including 149 polymorphic and 67 monomorphic bands. The highest number (146) was found in northern population, especially, 64 in HY subpopulation; the smallest (40) in eastern population. An examination of its genetic structure with AMOVA revealed that about 60% of all variations could be assigned to among subpopulations within populations. Population differentiation among populations and subpopulations is seriously going now because of habitat fragmentation due to human activities, such as road and small port construction. Although the habitats of S. takesimensis in Ulleung Island, Korea are disappeared at an alarming rate, significant levels of genetic variation still exist at species level, and population level, especially northern population. Therefore, three conservation strategies should be needed urgently; 1) preservation of populations as it stands, 2) establishment of recovery plan to connect population and subpopulations genetically, and 3) long-term monitoring.

국내 인삼뿌리썩음병균(Cylindrocarpon destructans)은 인삼에 가장 심각한 병을 야기하는 병원균 중의 하나이다. 인삼뿌리썩음병의 효과적인 방제를 위한 기초 연구 자료로 활용하고자 병원성 검정 및 유전적 다양성 분석을 통해 국내 인삼뿌리썩음병균 C. destructans의 종 특성을 분석하였다. 국내 인삼뿌리썩음병반으로부터 분리된 C. destructans 공시 균주들은 배지상에서 다양한 균총의 형태를 나타냈다. 인삼에 인공접종 시 균주들간 병원성의 차이도 다양하게 나타나 병원균 집단내 유전적 다양성이 존재할 것으로 예상되었다. 또한 접종 방법을 달리하여 병원성 검정을 실시했을 때 실내검정은 실외배양혼합액 접종의 결과와 매우 유사하게 나타나 추후 신속하게 병원성 검정을 위해 매우 유용할 것으로 판단되었다. 국내 인삼뿌리썩음병균(C. destructans)의 RAPD 분석결과 유사한 균류들과 확연히 구별되는 단일 그룹을 형성하였으며, 이 병원균 집단은 두 개의 소그룹으로 크게 나뉘었고 각 그룹내 균주들 간 병원성과의 유전적 차이를 확인할 수 있었다.

Bupleurum euphorbioides is isolated and restricted to high mountains in Korea northeastern China. Its conservation depends on whether it is threatened by inbreeding or a loss of genetic diversity. We compared the genetic variability in B. euphorbioides with B. longiradiatum, a widespread congener, to understand how they differ in their population genetic structure. Although B. euphorbioides showed a little lower genetic variability than B. longiradiatum, $F_{IS}$ statistics for most loci were strongly positive in both B. euphorbioides (0.445) and B. longiradiatum (0.553). In addition, B. euphorbioides showed higher mean $F_{ST}$ value than B. longiradiatum (0.297 vs 0.194). It might be due to the polycarpic nature of B. longiradiatum, which holds higher genetic potentials effectively in homogeneous environment than the monocarpic B. euphorbioides. The results suggested that B. euphorbioides is a genetically viable species, and that they are threatened primarily by environmental factor.

Japanese Black cattle of Hyogo prefecture (Tajima strain) are famous for its ability to produce high-quality meat and have been maintained as a closed system for more than 80 years. In order to assess the usefulness of microsatellite markers in closed cattle populations, and evaluate the genetic structure of the Tajima strain, we analyzed representative dams of the Tajima strain comprised of the substrains Nakadoi and Kinosaki. Genetic variability analyses indicated low genetic diversity in the Tajima strain. In addition, a recent genetic bottleneck, which could be accounted for by the high level of inbreeding, was detected in both substrains. In phylogenetic analyses, relationship coefficients and genetic distances between individuals were calculated using pedigree and microsatellite information. Two phylogenetic trees were constructed from microsatellite and pedigree information using the UPGMA method. Both trees illustrated that most individuals were distinguished clearly on the basis of the two substrains, although in the microsatellite tree some individuals appeared in clusters of different substrains. Comparing the two phylogenetic trees revealed good consistency between the microsatellite analysis tree and the pedigree information. The correlation coefficient between genetic distances derived from microsatellite and pedigree information was 0.686 with a high significance level (p<0.001). These results indicated that microsatellite information may provide data substantially equivalent to pedigree information even in unusually inbred herds of cattle, and suggested that microsatellite markers may be useful in revealing genetic structure without accurate or complete pedigree nformation.
