A horizontal starch gel electrophoresis for enzyme proteins extracted from three Korean species and one Chinese species of Semisulcospira was carried out in order to elucidate their genetic relationships. A total of 10 enzymes were employed in three different of buffer systems. Two loci from each enzyme of GAPDH, GOT, ICDH, IDH and PEP(VL); three loci from each of three enzymes, EST, PEP(LGG) and PGDH; and five loci from GPI were observed. Most of the loci in three pleurocerid species employed showed homozygous monomorphic banding patterns and some of them were specific as genetic markers between two different species. However, EST-2, PEP(LGG-3) and PGDH-1 loci in Korean S. libertina and PEP(LGG-3), PGM-1 and PGM-2 loci in Chinese S. libertina showed polymorphic banding patterns. Three Korean Semisulcospira species including S. libertina were more closely clustered in a dendrogram within the range of genetic identity values of 0.818-0.936, and these clusters were lineated with Chinese S. libertina at the value of 0.621.

A total of 367 isolates of Phytophthora infestans was collected from the leaf samples of late blight disease from five provinces in Korea over the three growing seasons of 2002-2004. Of the 367 isolates, 337 isolates were of the A1 mating type, and 30 isolates were of A2 mating type, showing that the majority was A1 mating type. Profiles of Gpi and Pep defined four allozyme genotypes among the total of 367 isolates. All four allozyme genotypes could be distinguished on the basis of Gpi profiles alone, whereas all isolates were homozygous at the Pep locus (100/100). The mitochondrial DNA haplotype of all isolates were the IIa haplotype. Amplification of the genomic DNAs extracted from eight isolates of each mating type by polymerase chain reaction with the selected primer (OPC-5 primer) produced a total of 20 DNA bands, of which 11 bands were polymorphic. According to the RAPD analysis using the OPC-5 primer, 106 isolates including two standard isolates were separated into 8 groups at the similarity level of 92.5%. The RAPD groups were not correlated with the allozyme genotypes and the isolated locations. All of the eight RAPD groups were identified in Gangwon-do, suggesting that Gangwon-do is the center of origin of the P. infestans in Korea. A 600-bp DNA band generated with the OPC-5 primer was specific to A1 mating type isolates, but not detected with A2 mating type, showing that the specific PCR primer can distinguish different mating types in P. infestans.
