한약재로 사용되는 방풍류는 절단되어 유통되므로 외부 형태적인 특징만으로 구분하기가 어려워 방풍류로 사용되는 방풍, 식방풍, 석방풍, 갯방풍 등 4종에 대해 PCR에 기초한 RAPD 마커를 이용하여 SCAR 마커를 개발하고자 하였다. RAPD 분석결과 밴드의 패턴은 다양하게 나타났으며 다형성의 밴드 수는 총 215개로 전체 밴드수의 98%였다. RAPD 분석에서 각 방풍류를 구별 할 수 있는 특이적인 밴드를 나타내는 primer는 방풍에서 4개의 primer, 식방풍은 6개의 primer, 석방풍은 4개의 primer, 갯방풍은 6개의 primer를 선발하였고, 그 중 특히 primer 425는 4종의 방풍류의 감별에 유용하였고, 이를 이용하여 SCAR마커로 전환하는데 이용하였다. 특이적인 단편을 클로닝하여 염기서열 분석으로 특이 primer를 제작하고 제작된 primer로 방풍류 시료 16개에 적용하였을 때, 국내의 야생에서 주로 자생하는 석방풍은 215 bp, 그리고 국내에서 가장 많이 재배 또는 생산되는 갯방풍은 177 bp와 300 bp에서 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 따라서 갯방풍과 석방풍의 감별 가능성을 제시할 수 있으며 개발된 SCAR 마커를 이용하여 시중에 유통되고 있는 방풍류 건조약재의 감별에 유용한 마커로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The Artemisia princeps (Compositae) has been used in traditional Korean medicine for the treatment of microbial infections and inflammatory diseases. Since A. princeps is generally difficult to be discriminated from A. capillaris, A. caplillaris has been misused in place of A. princeps. To solve this problem, a rapid and nondestructive method for discrimination of A. princeps and A. capillaris samples was developed using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the present study. A principal component analysis (PCA) and a partial least squares discrimination analysis (PLS-DA) were performed to discriminate two species. As a result, with the use of PLS-DA, A. princeps and A. capillaris were clustered according to their genus. These outcomes indicated that the NIRS could be useful for the discrimination between Artemisia princeps and Artemisia capillaris.

Due to the major role played by several species of Streptococcus in the etiology of periodontitis, it is important to assess the pattern of Streptococcus pathogenic pathways within the infected subgingival pockets using a bacterial specific 16S rRNA fragment. From the total of 50 patients with periodontitis included in the study, only 23 Streptococcal isolates were considered for further analyses, in which their 16S rRNA fragments were amplified and sequenced. Then, a comprehensive phylogenetic tree was constructed and in silico prediction was performed for the observed Streptococcal species. The phylogenetic analysis of the subgingival Streptococcal species revealed a high discrimination power of the 16S rRNA fragment to accurately identify three groups of Streptococcus on the species level, including S. salivarius (14 isolates), S. anginosus (5 isolates), and S. gordonii (4 isolates). The employment of state-of-art in silico tools indicated that each Streptococcal species group was characterized with particular transcription factors that bound exclusively with a different 16S rRNA-based secondary structure. In conclusion, the observed data of the present study provided in-depth insights into the mechanism of each Streptococcal species in its pathogenesis, which differ in each observed group, according to the differences in the 16S rRNA secondary structure it takes, and the consequent binding with its corresponding transcription factors. This study paves the way for further interventions of the in silico prediction, with the main conventional in vitro microbiota identification to present an interesting insight in terms of the gene expression pattern and the signaling pathway that each pathogenic species follows in the infected subgingival site.

This study was carried out to differentiate the origins of Astragalus membranaceus Bunge and A. membranaceus Bunge var. mogholicus Nakai. To identify the variation of the RAPD patterns between domestic and foreign Astragalus species, 40 random primers were applied to ten accessions of A. membranaceus and six accessions of A. membranaceus var. mogholicus genomic DNA, respectively, Ten primers of 40 primers could be used to discriminate the origins and 33 polymorph isms among 44 scored DNA fragments (33 fragments are specific for A. membranaceus and A. membranaceus var. mogholicus) were generated using these primers, 75.0 % of which were polymorphic. Especially, three primers of ten primers, OPA17, OPA11 and OPB11, were useful to differentiate between domestic and foreign Astragalus species. RAPD data from the 10 primers were used for cluster analysis and cluster analysis of RAPD markers showed that the two groups are distinct genetically. Consequently, RAPD analysis was a useful method to discriminate between A. membranaceus and A. membranaceus var. mogholicus.

To identify the variation of the RAPD patterns between two Atractylodes species, 52 kinds of random primers were applied to each eight of A japonica and A. macrocephala genomic DNA. Ten primers of 52 primers could be used to discriminate between the species and 18 polymorphisms among 67 scored DNA fragments (18 fragments are specific for A. japonica and A. macrocephala) were generated using these primers, 26.9% of which were polymorphic. RAPD data from the 10 primers was used for cluster analysis. The cluster analysis of RAPD markers showed that the two groups are genetically distinct. On the other hand, to identify the variation of the AFLP patterns and select the species specific AFLP markers, eight combinations of EcoRI/MseI primers were applied to the bulked A. japonica and A. macrocephala genomic DNA. Consequently, three combinations of EcoRI/MseI primers (EcoRI /Mse I ; AAC/CTA, AAC/CAA, AAG/CTA) used in this study revealed 176 reliable AFLP markers, 42.0% of which were polymorphic. 74 polymorphisms out of 176 scored DNA fragments were enough to clearly discriminate between two Atractylodes species.

The variability within and between Korean pond-smelt (Hypomesus nipponensis; KPS) and Canadian capelin (Mallotus villosus; CCP) were studied in order to clarify the genetic distances and differences. The dendrogram obtained by the seven primers indicates cluster 1 (KOREAN 01$\sim$KOREAN 11) and cluster 2 (CANADIAN 12$\sim$CANADIAN 22). The longest genetic distance displaying significant molecular differences was found to exist between individuals in the two geographic species of Osmeridae, between individuals' no. 10 of Korean and no. 18 of Canadian (0.686). 121 unique shared loci to each species, with an average of 17.3 per primer, were observed in the KPS species, and 264 loci, with an average of 37.7 per primer, were observed in the CCP species. 77 shared loci by the two species, with an average of 11.0 per primer, were observed in the two fish species. RAPD analysis showed that the KPS species was more genetically diverse than the CCP species. KPS species may have high levels of genomic DNA variability owing to the introduction of the wild individuals from the other sites to sampling sites although it may be the geographically diverse distribution of this species. As stated above, the existence of species discrimination and genetic variability between the KPS and the CCP species was identified by RAPD analysis.

White mold (or Sclerotinia stem rot), caused by Sclerotinia species, is a major air, soil, or seed-transmitted disease affecting numerous crops and wild plants. Microscopic or culture-based methods currently available for their detection and identification are time-consuming, laborious, and often erroneous. Therefore, we developed a multiplex quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay for the discrimination, detection, and quantification of DNA collected from each of the three economically relevant Sclerotinia species, namely, S. sclerotiorum, S. minor, and S. nivalis. TaqMan primer/probe combinations specific for each Sclerotinia species were designed based on the gene sequences encoding aspartyl protease. High specificity and sensitivity of each probe were confirmed for sclerotium and soil samples, as well as pure cultures, using simplex and multiplex qPCRs. This multiplex assay could be helpful in detecting and quantifying specific species of Sclerotinia, and therefore, may be valuable for disease diagnosis, forecasting, and management.
