This study was carried out to develop specific primers for PCR detection of Phellinus linteus. Diverse genomes of 15 Phellinus spp. including five Phellinus linteus isolates were fingerprinted by Primer Universal rice primer(URP)1F. The URP-PCR pattern differentiated P. linteus isolates from other phellinus spp. A polymorphic band(2.8 kb), which is unique for P. linteus isolates, was isolated and sequenced. Twenty four-oligonucleotide primer pairs were designed based on information of DNA sequence. The primer set(PLSPF2/PLSPR1) amplified single band(2.2 kb) of expected size with genomic DNA from seven Phellinus linteus, but not with that of other Phellinus species tested. The primers could be used identically in both DNA samples from mycelium and fruit bodies. This specific primers could offer a useful tool for detecting and identifying P. linteus rapidly.

The genus Leuconostoc is generally recognized as a favorable microorganism associated with a good taste of Kimchi and Lactobacillus plantarum is responsible for the overripening and acidification of Kimchi. A rapid and reliable PCR-based method to monitor the change of these lactic acid bacterial populations during Kimchi fermentation was attempted. A Leuconostoc-specific primer set was chosen from the conserved sequences of 16S rRNA genes among Leuconostoc species. The Lb. plantarum-specific primer set was the internal segments of a Lb. plantarum-specific probe which was isolated after randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis and tested for identification. The specificity of this protocol was examined in DNA samples isolated from a single strain. In agarose gel, as little as 10 pg of template DNA could be used to visualize the PCR products, and quantitative determination was possible at the levels of 10 pg to 100 ng template DNA. For the semi-quantitative determination of microbial changes during Kimchi fermentation, total DNAs from the 2 h-cultured microflora of Kimchi were extracted for 16 days and equal amounts of DNA templates were used for PCR. The intensities of DNA bands obtained from PCR using Leuconostoc-specific and Lb. plantarum-specific primer sets marked a dramatic contrast at the 1 ng and 100 ng template DNA levels during Kimchi fermentation, respectively. As the fermentation proceeded, the intensity of the band for Leuconostoc species increased sharply until the 5th day and the levels was maintained until the 11 th day. The sharp increase for Lb. plantarum occurred after 11 days with the decrease of Leuconostoc species. The results of this study indicate that Leuconostoc species were the major microorganisms at the beginning of Kimchi fermentation and reach their highest population during the optimum ripening period of Kimchi.

This study aimed to develop strain-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers to detect Fusobacterium hwasookii KCOM 1249^T, F. hwasookii KCOM 1253, F. hwasookii KCOM 1256, F. hwasookii KCOM 1258, and F. hwasookii KCOM 1268 on the basis of nucleotide sequences of a gene specific to each strain. The unique genes for each F. hwasookii strain were determined on the basis of their genome sequences using Roary. The strain-specific PCR primers based on each strain-specific gene were designed using PrimerSelect. The specificity of each PCR primer was determined using the genomic DNA of the 5 F. hwasookii strains and 25 strains of oral bacterial species. The detection limit and sensitivity of each strain-specific PCR primer pair were determined using the genomic DNA of each target strain. The results showed that the strain-specific PCR primers correspond to F. hwasookii KCOM 1249^T, F. hwasookii KCOM 1253, F. hwasookii KCOM 1258, F. hwasookii KCOM 1256/F. nucleatum subsp. polymorphum KCOM 1260, or F. hwasookii KCOM 1268/Fusobacterium sp. oral taxon 203 were developed. The detection limits of these strain-specific PCR primers ranged from 0.2 to 2 ng of genomic DNA for each target strain. The results suggest that these strain-specific PCR primers are valuable in quality control for detecting specific F. hwasookii strains.

In this study, in an effort to develop a method for the molecular detection of Tricholoma matsutake in Korea from other closely related Tricholomataceae, a species-specific PCR primer pair, TmF and TmR, was designed using nuclear ribosomal intertranscribed spacer (ITS) sequences. The DTmF and DTmR sequences were 5'-CCTGACGCCAATCTTTTCA-3' and 5'- GGAGAGCAGACTTGTGAGCA-3', respectively. The PCR primers reliably amplified only the ITS sequences of T. matsutake, and not those of other species used in this study.

Fusarium verticillioides(완전세대: Gibberella moniliformis)는 Gibberellea fujikuroi 종 복합체에 속하는 식물병원균으로서 옥수수의 줄기와 이삭에 썩음병을 일으킬 뿐 아니라 인축에 중독증을 일으키는 fumonisin 곰팡이 독소를 생산한다. 본 연구의 목적은 옥수수에 주로 발생하는 fumonisin 생성가능 G. fujikuori 종 복합체 소속 Fusarium 곰팡이 중 F. verticillioides와 그 외 F. proliferatum, F. fujikuori 등을 서로 구별할 수 있는 종 특이적 PCR primer 조합을 개발하는 것이다. RNA polymerase II beta subunit 유전자(RPB2)의 염기서열로부터 제작된 특이 primer 조합(RVERT1와 RVERT2)은 우리나라 옥수수에서 분리한 잠재적인 fumonisin 생성 G. fujikuori 종 복합체 균주 중 오직 F. verticillioides로부터 208 bp 크기의 단일 DNA 절편을 증폭하였다. 한편 F. verticillioides를 포함한 모든 조사균주는 fumonisin 생합성에 필수적인 FUM1 유전자를 포함하고 있었다. 개발된 특이 primer 조합의 검출한계는 분석 곰팡이 DNA 0.125 pg/${\mu}l$ 수준이었다. 한편, 같은 primer 조합으로 Fusarium spp.에 오염된 옥수수 시료의 게놈 DNA로부터 F. verticillioides 특이 DNA 절편이 증폭되었다. 이와 같은 결과를 종합할 때, 본 연구에서 개발된 primer 조합은 여러 곡물 시료에 오염되어 있는 F. verticillioides 균주의 검출과 종 동정에 유용하게 사용될 것이다.

The soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines, is a major plant-parasitic nematode that has caused important economic losses to Korea's soybean production. Four species of cyst nematodes, H. schachtii, H. glycines, H. trifolii, and H. sojae, all belong to schachtii group are coexist in field soil in Korea. The rapid identification of the nematode is crucial for preventing crop damage and in decision making for controlling this nematode. This study aimed to develop a species-specific primer set for quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay of H. glycines. The specific primer set (HGF1 and HGR1) for H. glycines was designed based on the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequence of mitochondrial DNA. After optimization, it is possible to identify the H. glycines using a qPCR assay with DNA extracted from a single cyst and single second-stage juvenile (J2). The specificity was confirmed by the absence of SYBR fluorescent signals of three other Heterodera species. A serial dilution of DNA extracted from a single cyst was obtained for the sensitivity test. The result showed that the standard curve of the test had a highly significant linearity between DNA concentration and Ct value (R² = 0.996, slope = -3.49) and that the detection limit concentration of DNA of the primer set was 10 pg of DNA per reaction. Our findings suggested that H. glycines could be distinguished from H. sojae and other Heterodera species when a qPCR assay is used with a specific primer set.

Background: Angelica gigas, A. sinensis, and A. acutiloba are commercially important in the herbal medicine market, and among them, A. gigas has the highest economic value and price. However, their similar morphological traits are often used for fraud. Despite their importance in herbal medicine, recognition of the differences between Angelica species is currently inadequate. Methods and Results: A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed for direct detection and identification of A. gigas, A. sinensis, and A. acutiloba. The gene for the distinction of species was targeted at ITS in the nucleus and trnC-petN gene in chloroplasts. The optimized multiplex PCR in the present study utilized each Angelica species-specific primer pairs. Each primer pair yielded products of 229 base pairs (bp) for A. gigas, 53 bp for A. sinensis, 170 bp for A. acutiloba. Additionally non-specific PCR products were not detected in similar species by species-specific primers. Conclusions: In the present study, a multiplex-PCR assay, successfully assessed the authenticity of Angelica species (A. gigas, A. sinensis, and A. acutiloba). and whole genome amplification (WGA) was performed after DNA extraction to identify, the species in the product. The detection method of raw materials developed in the present study could be applied to herbal medicine and health functional food management.

토마토 잿빛곰팡이병균(B. cinerea)은 비닐하우스에서 재배할 때 토마토의 꽃과 줄기의 감염을 통해 매우 심각한 피해를 입힌다. 이 연구에서 토마토에 발병하는 잿빛 곰팡이병균의 검출 및 종 동정을 위해 새로운 종 특이적 primer set가 개발되었다. 종 특이적 primer(BTF1/BTR1)는 B. cinerea와 유전적으로 매우 유사한 진균들의 pyruvate carboxylase(pyc) 유전자 내부의 변이영역으로부터 설계되었다. 10개의 다른 기주식물에서 분리된 13균주의 모든 B. cinerea에서 112 bp 크기의 PCR 산물들이 만들어졌다. 그러나 6종의 다른 Botrytis 속균, 4종의 Botryotinia 속균, 5종의 Sclerotinia 속균 및 그 이외 16속의 다른 식물병원균들에 대해서는 PCR 반응이 나타나지 않았다. 종 특이적 primer의 반응민감도 한계는 대략 2 pg이었다. 자연상태에서 B. cinerea에 감염된 토마토 식물체와 인공적으로 접종된 식물체로부터 종 특이적 primer를 활용한 병원균의 PCR 검출이 이루어졌다. 이 연구결과로 미루어 새롭게 개발된 primer는 높은 반응민감도와 종 특이성을 나타내 추후 토마토 잿빛곰팡이병의 빠른 진단 및 병원균의 정확한 동정에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
