Background: Angelica gigas Nakai has been used as an herbal medicine in Eastern Asia for treating disorders in women for a long time. To date there are no studies on the genetic diversity of A. gigas. The present study aimed to study the genetic diversity of A. gigas variants using genome-wide simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Methods and Results: The genetic diversity of 199 variants of A. gigas cultivated in of different regions, was analyzed using 5 genome-wide SSR markers. The results revealed that the genetic variants were very diverse, and genetic analysis using the 5 SSR markers revealed high diversity among the variants. Conclusions: It is expected that the development of the true Angleical cultivar, by studying the system and group selection, can be achieved by genetic analysis using the developed markers, for generating a genetically fixed lineage and group selection.

Eucalyptus is one of the major plantation species with wide variety of industrial uses. Polymorphic and informative simple sequence repeats (SSRs) have broad range of applications in genetic analysis. In this study, two individuals of Eucalyptus tereticornis (ET217 and ET86), one individual each from E. camaldulensis (EC17) and E. grandis (EG9) were subjected to whole genome resequencing. Low coverage (10×) genome sequencing was used to find polymorphic SSRs between the individuals. Average number of SSR loci identified was 95,513 and the density of SSRs per Mb was from 157.39 in EG9 to 155.08 in EC17. Among all the SSRs detected, the most abundant repeat motifs were di-nucleotide (59.6%-62.5%), followed by tri- (23.7%-27.2%), tetra- (5.2%-5.6%), penta- (5.0%-5.3%), and hexa-nucleotide (2.7%-2.9%). The predominant SSR motif units were AG/CT and AAG/TTC. Computational genome analysis predicted the SSR length variations between the individuals and identified the gene functions of SSR containing sequences. Selected subset of polymorphic markers was validated in a full-sib family of eucalypts. Additionally, genome-wide characterization of single nucleotide polymorphisms, InDels and transcriptional regulators were carried out. These variations will find their utility in genome-wide association studies as well as understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in key economic traits. The genomic resources generated in this study would provide an impetus to integrate genomics in marker-trait associations and breeding of tropical eucalypts.

A major goal of agricultural biotechnology is the discovery of genes or genetic loci which are associated with characteristics beneficial to crop production. This knowledge of genetic loci may then be applied to improve crop breeding. Agriculturally important genes may also benefit crop production through transgenic technologies. Recent years have seen an application of high throughput technologies to agricultural biotechnology leading to the production of large amounts of genomic data. The challenge today is the effective structuring of this data to permit researchers to search, filter and importantly, make robust associations within a wide variety of datasets. At the Plant Biotechnology Centre, Primary Industries Research Victoria in Melbourne, Australia, we have developed a series of tools and computational pipelines to assist in the processing and structuring of genomic data to aid its application to agricultural biotechnology resear-ch. These tools include a sequence database, ASTRA, for the processing and annotation of expressed sequence tag data. Tools have also been developed for the discovery of simple sequence repeat (SSR) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) molecular markers from large sequence datasets. Application of these tools to Brassica research has assisted in the production of genetic and comparative physical maps as well as candidate gene discovery for a range of agronomically important traits.

Based on the simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker, a Korean wheat core collection were established with 616 wheat accessions. Among them, the SNP genotyping for the entire genome was performed using DNA chip array to clarify the whole genome SNP profiles. Consequently, a total of 35,143 SNPs were found and we re-established a mini-core collection with 247 accessions. Population diversity and phylogenetic analysis revealed genetic diversity and relationships from the mini core set. In addition, genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed on 19 phenotypic traits; ear type, awn length, culm length, ear length, awn color, seed coat color, culm color, ear color, loading, leaf length, leaf width, seeding stand, cold damage, weight, auricle, plant type, heading stage, maturation period, upright habit, and degree of flag leaf. The GWAS was performed using the fixed and random model circulating probability unification (FarmCPU), which identified 14 to 258 SNP loci related to 19 phenotypic traits. Our study indicates that this Korean wheat mini-core collection is a set of germplasm useful for basic and applied research with the aim of understanding and exploiting the genetic diversity of Korean wheat varieties.

Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSR) are widely distributed in eukaryotic genomes and are informative genetic markers. Despite many advantages of SSR markers such as a high degree of allelic polymorphisms, co-dominant inheritance, multi-allelism, and genome-wide coverage in various plant species, they also have shortcomings such as low polymorphic rates between genetically close lines, especially in Capsicum annuum. We developed an alternative technique to SSR by normalizing and alternating anchored primers in random amplified microsatellite polymorphisms (RAMP). This technique, designated reverse random amplified microsatellite polymorphism (rRAMP), allows the detection of nucleotide variation in the 3' region flanking an SSR using normalized anchored and random primer combinations. The reproducibility and frequency of polymorphic loci in rRAMP was vigorously enhanced by translocation of the 5' anchor of repeat sequences to the 3' end position and selective use of moderate arbitrary primers. In our study, the PCR banding pattern of rRAMP was highly dependent on the frequency of repeat motifs and primer combinations with random primers. Linkage analysis showed that rRAMP markers were well scattered on an intra-specific pepper map. Based on these results, we suggest that this technique is useful for studying genetic diversity, molecular fingerprinting, and rapidly constructing molecular maps for diverse plant species.

세계적인 과수작물로서의 경제적 중요성에도 불구하고, 감귤 생산은 주로 자연교잡 실생이나 눈 돌연변이로부터의 선발 또는 단순 품종 도입 등을 통해 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 긴 유년기, 다배성, 자가불화합성과 같은 감귤 고유의 식물학적 특성, 주요 형질들(병저항성, 수량성, 품질 등)의 QTL에 의한 조절 등은 전통 육종을 통한 우수 품종의 개발을 어렵게 하는 요인이다. 지구 온난화에 의한 생산 여건의 급격한 변화, 소비자 요구 다양화 등은 고품질 감귤의 조기 선발과 안정적 생산, 품종 다양화, 육종 비용 절감 등을 위한 체계적인 감귤 분자육종 프로그램의 도입을 요구하고 있다. 동위효소를 이용한 최초의 감귤 연관지도 작성이 이루어진 이래, 다양한 분자표지를 이용한 연관지도 작성, 생물(CTV, CiLV, ABS, 선충] 및 비생물적(염분, 저온) 스트레스, 아포믹시스, 다배성, 과실착색(카로티노이드, 안토시아닌), 무종자, 웅성불임, 신맛 적음, 생식, 형태(나무, 잎, 꽃, 열매 등), 과실 품질, 종자수, 수량성, 조기 착과 등과 연관된 분자표지 발굴, QTL 맵핑 등이 이루어졌다. CTV 저항성과 적육(안토시아닌 축적) 형질에 대해서는 유전자 클로닝이 이루어졌고, 교배 육종 효율 증대 및 비용 절감을 위해 교잡배와 주심배를 구분하기 위한 다수의 simple sequence repeat (SSR) 분자표지가 개발되었다. 최근, 스위트오렌지와 '클레멘타인' 만다린에 대한 고품질의 표준 유전체가 완성되어 유전체 기반 감귤 분자육종을 위한 토대가 마련되었다. 표준 유전체 정보를 토대로 대규모 분자표지(SNP, SSR, InDel) 기반의 표준 연관 및 물리지도 작성, 비교 유전체 지도 작성, gene annotation, 전사체 분석 등이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 감귤 유전자원 및 핵심집단에 대해 표준 유전체 기반 비교 유전체 분석, GBS (genotyping-by-sequencing), GWAS (genome wide association study) 등을 통해 감귤의 다양한 형질과 연관된 분자마커 발굴 및 개발, 유용/변이 유전자 클로닝 등에 관한 연구가 가속화될 것으로 전망된다. 또한 표적 유전체 교정 및 VIGS (virus-induced gene silencing) 기술도 유전자 마커의 검증을 비롯한 감귤 분자육종 프로그램에 활발히 이용될 것이다.
