  • 계통분류학의 분지(cladistics)의 원리와 방법들을 한국산 늑대거미과(Lycosidae)의 7 속들 사이의 계통분류학적 관계를 분석하는데 적용시켰다. 형질( ∼)의 형태적, 생리적 그리고 생태적 특성에 기초를 둔 분석으로부터 분지도(cladogram) Fig. 1, 2, 3을 만들었다. 한국산 늑대거미과는 아로페늑대거미속, 논늑대거미속, 짧은마디늑대거미속, 긴마디늑대거미 속, 부이표늑대거미속, 곤봉표늑대거미속, 마른마디늑대거미속의 7속으로 나누어진다. 필자는 그간의 국내외 여러학자들이 연구한 사항을 정리하여 지금까지 짧은마디 늑대거미아과에 속 해있는 논늑대거미속과 곤봉표늑대거미속을 이 아과에서 분리하여 논늑대거미아과를 새로 설정하였다. 이로써 한국산 늑대거미과에는 부이표늑대거미아과, 긴마디늑대거미아과, 짧은 마디늑대거미아과, 논늑대거미아과의 4개 아과로 새로이 정리하였다.

  • In order to learn the origin of the Chinese Mongolian horse, we analyzed polymorphisms within the mtDNA D-loop variable region in 305 horses of 6 types of 3 different breeds, including one imported breed, one cultivated breed and 4 types of one local breed. We detected 13 different haplotypes, and subsequent sequence analysis showed that all 6 horse types were genetically diverse. By constructing a cladogram of mtDNA D-loop sequences from the 6 horse types along with homologous sequences from several other horse types obtained from GenBank, we showed that Chinese Mongolian horses have a close genetic relationship with other horse types from Mongolia. We also speculate that several Chinese Mongolian horses descended from Przewalskii horse. Additionally, the 13 haplotypes were dispersed throughout the cladogram, suggesting that Chinese Mongolian horses likely originated from multiple female ancestors. A phylogenetic map of the 6 horse types showed that the genetic relationship between the local Wuzhumuqin and Wushen types were the closest. The Xinihe and Baerhu were also closely related to each other, and slightly more distantly related to the cultivated Sanhe breed. All five of the local Chinese horse types had a much more distant relationship with the imported Thoroughbred breed.

  • In this study we investigate the association between the haplotype block of 4 SNPs in ACE genes and hypertension with a case-control dataset of size of 277 and 40 families data collected from Kangwha studies. To this end we perform a haplotype-based case-control association study and a haplotype-based TDT study. We do the same analysis with tag-SNPs that can identify the haplotype block. Through a cladogram analysis we make the evolution-tree of haplotypes and then classify the haplotypes into a few clades by collecting haplotypes exposed to the disease to the same extent. We also discuss the association between these clades and hypertension.

  • Several differences are revealed in the segmentation and setation of the antennule, maxillule, maxilliped and fifth legs between three genera of the family Metridinidae, Metridia, Pleuromamma, and Gaussia. The phylogenetic relationships are cladistically analyzed on the basis of 10 morphological characters. The cladogram shows that Gaussia and Pleuromamma form a sister group, with Metridia which is the first branch to diverge within the family. The presence Of quadritheks on the male antennules of Metridia and Pleuromamma seems to be an important synapomorphy. The loss of quadritheks in Gaussia represents likely evidence of a character reversal into the ancestral condition.

Analysis of the misguided practice of recognizing Gymnosperms as flowering plants (나자식물이 꽃피는 식물로 인식되고 있는 잘못된 관행의 분석)

  • The aim of this study is to analyse misinformation about gymnosperm taxon used for over 57 years, since 1957 when plant biology as a discipline was established in our country. That is, terminologies and descriptions of the reproductive structure (flower) of angiosperms (flowering seed plants) have been incorrectly applied to the reproductive structures (typically cones and pollen grain) of gymnosperms (non-flowering seed plants) by numerous and various media such as text books, dictionaries, and internet websites for plant biology. Thus, these resources have been misleading teachers, students, and other people interested in plant biology in general and taxonomy in particular by describing gymnosperm reproductive structures as if they are the same as angiosperms. Such a practice has an especially adverse effect on plant biology education at all levels of instruction, with teachers and students confused in their understanding of the concept and definition of a flower. In this paper, these incorrect expressions for the reproductive structures of gymnosperms from the various media are analysed and discussed in terms of cladogram, anatomy of reproductive structures, and historical context of classification systems.

  • Phylogeny of the family Ophioglossaceae and a phylogenetic position of Mankyua were estimated through analyses of chloroplast rbcL gene sequences and spore morphology. Sequence analysis of the rbcL gene clearly indicated that there are two major lineages in the family Ophioglossaceae: Botrychioid lineage and Ophioglossoid lineage. The Botrichioid lineage is composed of three distinct clades: Botrychium, Helminthostachys and Mankyua, where Helminthostachys and Mankyua were placed as sister groups to the Botrychium. Within the genus Botrychium, subgenera Septridium and Botrychium were monophyletic, while taxa of subgen. Botrypus branched as sister of the two, successively, thus making a non-monophyletic group. Ophioglossum formed the Ophioglossoied lineage, where the subgen. Ophioglossum is monophyletic, while subgen. Cheiroglossa and Ophoderma formed a sister relationship with subgen. Ophioglossum. In terms of external morphology and spores, Mankyua is most similar to Helminthostachys, however, patristic distance in the cladogram and trophophore characteristics of the two genera are distinct. Therefore, Mankyua is a well defined genus within the family in terms of morphology as well as molecular phylogeny which places it in basal position of the Botrychioid lineage on the gene tree.
