The cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was examined in four abalone species to estimate its utility as a genetic marker using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. The utility was evaluated in terms of genetic divergence and relationships among Haliotis discus hannai, H. rufescens, H. rubra, and H. midae in both hemispheres of the world. There was clear genetic divergence in the mtDNA COI region between all pairs of the four species. Moreover, relationships among the abalone species were reflected in their geographical distributions and morphological characteristics. Therefore, RFLP analysis of the mtDNA COI region is a suitable genetic marker for the estimation of genetic divergence and relationships among abalone species. However, it is not effective for the evaluation of genetic differences within abalone species.

Isaacsicalanus paucisetus Fleminger, 1983, a monotypic species of the family Spinocalanidae Vervoort, 1951, was first reported from a hydrothermal vent field in the East Pacific Rise off the mouth of the Gulf of California. The mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I(mtCOI) DNA barcodes are considered a useful tool to assist traditional taxonomy and species discrimination in calanoid copepods. However, the mtCOI DNA barcodes of I. paucisetus have not been reported due to the species rarity and the difficulty of sampling. In this study, we firstly determined the mtCOI DNA barcodes of the I. paucisetus newly collected from a hydrothermal vent in the North Fiji Basin of the southwestern Pacific. All mtCOI DNA barcodes of I. paucisetus were identical and intraspecies variations of spinocalanid species were 0.0-3.0%. Interspecies and intergeneric variations were 13.4-25.2% and 16.7-24.1%, respectively. The DNA barcodes of I. paucisetus obtained in the present study would be helpful for understanding taxonomic relationships of widespread spinocalanid species.

We compared patterns of intraspecific polymorphism of two markers with contrasting modes of evolution, nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), in the lung fluke, diploid and triploid Paragonimus westermani from three geographical regions of Korea. The genetic distances between three populations of Korean diploid and triploid P. westermani showed no significant difference in the nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (mtCOI) and ribosomaal second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) genes. A highly resolved strict-consensus tree was obtained that illustrated phylogenetically useful information of the ITS2 and mtCOI sequences from diploid and triploid P. westermani.

We compared the DNA sequences of the genus Metagonimus: M. yokogawai, M. takahashii, and M. miyatai. We obtained 288 D1 ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) fragments from the adult worms by PCR, that were cloned and sequenced. Phylogenetic relationships inferred from the nucleotide sequences of the 28S D1 rDNA and mtCOI gene. M. takahashii and M. yokogawai are placed in the same clade supported by DNA sequence and phylogenie tree analysis in 28S D1 rDNA and mtCOI gene region. The above findings tell us that M. takahashii is closer to M. yokogawai than to M. miyatai genetically. This phylogenetic data also support the nomination of M. miyatai as a separate species.

이번 연구에서는 중형저서동물의 생태학적 연구에 사용하는 Ludox와 Rose Bengal을 처리하였을 때, 고정액의 종류에 따른 DNA (mtCOI)의 추출 효율을 비교하고자 하였다. 실험을 위해 저서성 요각류 Tigriopus japonicus s.l.를 실험동물로 사용하였으며, 99% 에탄올과 4%포르말린의 두 종류의 고정액을 사용한 뒤 이들을 각각 대조구로 삼았다. 그리고 (1) Ludox HS40, (2) Rose Bengal, (3) Ludox HS40+Rose Bengal을 각각 시료와 반응시킨뒤, mtCOI 유전자를 추출하였다. 이후 PCR을 진행하고 산물을 전기영동하여 유전자의 증폭여부를 확인하였다. 또한 모든 실험은 30회 반복하여 실험간의 결과를 비교 하였다. 그 결과, 에탄올의 경우에는 대조구를 포함한 (1), (2), (3)의 실험 모두에서 96% 이상의 효율을 보였지만, 포르말린의 경우에는 대조구에서 27% 증폭되었으며, (1)과 (3)에서 약 3%, (2)에서 약 7%만 증폭되어 두고 정액에 따른 차이가 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 결과적으로 현재의 연구를 통해서 99% 에탄올이 중형저서동물에서 DNA를 추출하는 데 적합한 고정액임을 확인하였다.

To determine the molecular phylogenie location of Plagiorchis muris, 28S D1 ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) were sequenced and compared with other trematodes in the family Plagiorchiidae. The 28S D1 tree of P. muris was found to be closely related to those of P. elegans and other Plagiorchis species. And, the mtCOI tree also showed that P. muris is in a separate clade with genus Glypthelmins. These results support a phylogenie relationship between members of the Plagiorchiidae, as suggested by morphologic features.

강원도 고랭지배추 포장에서 검출된 사탕무씨스트선충(H. schachtii)과 콩씨스트선충(H. glycines)을 구별할 수 있는 신속진단법을 개발하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 mtDNA COI 유전자 영역의 계통분석으로 동정된 사탕무씨스트선충 GC147, GC408, PM001 개체군과 콩씨스트선충 YS224, DA142, BC115 개체군을 대상으로 PCR-RFLP와 본 연구에서 개발한 특이 프라이머 세트를 이용한 PCR을 수행하였다. 사탕무씨스트선충과 콩씨스트선충 각각 3개 개체군의 mtDNA COI 영역 PCR 증폭산물에 8종류의 제한효소를 처리하여 DNA 절편길이다형성을 확인하였으며, 2종류의 제한효소 RsaI과 HinfI을 처리하면 DNA 밴드 양상의 차이로 사탕무씨스트선충과 콩씨스트선충 두 종을 구별할 수 있었다. 또한, 본 연구에서 개발한 프라이머 세트(JBS1, JBG1과 JB3R)는 사탕무씨스트선충 mtDNA COI 영역의 277과 339 bp, 콩씨스트선충의 339 bp의 특정 DNA 단편을 증폭시켰으며, 뿌리혹선충 3종과 뿌리썩이선충 2종의 식물기생선충은 증폭시키지 않았다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 개발한 프라이머 세트를 이용하여 PCR을 수행하면 사탕무씨스트선충과 콩씨스트선충을 구별할 수 있었다.

콩과(Fabaceae) 작물 해충인 팥나방(Matsumuraeses phaseoli)과 어리팥나방(M. falcana) (나비목: 잎말이나방과)은 형태적으로 매우 유사하여 종 구별이 힘든 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 PCR-SSP(PCR with Sequence Specific Primers) 방법으로 두 종을 빠르고 정확하게 구별할 수 있는 판별법을 찾고자 두 종의 미토콘드리아 시토크롬 옥시다제 I(mtCOI) DNA 부분영역(439 bp)의 염기서열을 해독하였다. 그리고 다른 나방 종의 mtCOI 염기서열과 함께 나열하여 비교한 후 팥나방과 어리팥나방에서 종 특이적으로 차이가 나는 단일 뉴클레오티드를 프라이머의 3' 말단으로 하는 염기서열 특이 프라이머 조합을 만들었다. PCR 산물들을 전기영동 한 결과, 어리팥나방은 245 bp, 팥나방은 409 bp와 245 bp의 특이적 밴드 패턴을 보여 두 종을 구별할 수 있었다.

The production of the sharp-toothed eel by commercial catch off waters of Korea is annually declined after 1978. This study was carried out to obtain the stock management of the sharp-toothed eel using the PCR-aided RFLP method. The mtDNA COI gene was amplified using species-specific primers and PCR product was observed to 700 bp. Amplified DNA fragments were treated with six kinds of restriction enzymes (BaeHI, EcoRI, PstI, Ksp22, HinfI and HaeIII). The treatment of HaeIII showed a distinct PCR product between Yeosu/Jinhae/Jeju/Goseoung and Jangheung/Haenam populations that were observed from 300 to 400 bp in reference to 100 bp molecular marker. However, DNA fragment within populations had an identical pattern. The phylogenetic homology is 82% between two populations inferred from RFLP PCR product pattern using NTsysPC ver. 2.1. The use of HaeIII plays an important role in discriminating populations. It is thought that adults after over-wintering in the southern part of Jeju migrate to the Yeosu, Jinhae and Goseoung regions to spawn instead of to southwestern waters. Individuals within populations showed a relatively active genetic mixing and migration regardless of geography. However, the genetic ancestor of Jangheung and Haenam populations is appeared to be more adjacent to China or Japan than Jeju.

Two regions of mtDNA genome, cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and 165 ribosomal RNA (165 rRNA) genes, were sequenced for 15 species of the long-horned beetle belonging to four subfamilies and geographic samples of mulberry longicorn beetle, Apriona germari, from two localities in Korea. Ten samples of A. germari collected from Suwon and Busan revealed three COI haplotypes ranging in nucleotide divergence of 0.3% to 0.5%, and the two populations shared one common COI haplotype (80%). The sequence divergence among 15 species of the long-horned beetle was much higher in COI gene (12.3%∼39.4%) than 16S rRNA gene (7.2% to 23.1), and the maximum value in the COI gene is exceptional compared with other relevant studies, including that of Coleoptera. The greatly increased divergence in the COI gene, in facto was stemmed from a peculiar sequence of Prionus insularis belonging to Prioninne, divergence of which ranges from 31.2% to 39.3% from other species. We discussed possible reason of the divergence in this species. Due to the abnormality of COI gene divergence, decrease in phylogenetic signal was severe in COI nucleotide and, subsequently, the converted amino acid sequences, rendering us to put more confidence on the 16S5 rRNA gene data. Although the molecular phylogeny confidently supports the monophyletic origin of Lepturinae, the presence of discrepancy between molecular data and traditional taxonomic views also is a testable hyothesis. One such discrepancy includes taxonomic position of Sophronica obrioides and Theophilea cylindricollis belonging to Lamiinae.
