Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis is based on the amplification of random DNA segment using a single arbitratrary primer. For typing Salmonella spp., polymorphic DNA patterns identified by this method can be used. To select the primers for RAPD typing Salmonella spp., the performances of 20 primers were compared by analyzing 16 Salmonella spp. reference strains. Reproducible electrophoresis patterns were obtained. Among the 20 primers tested, 4 primers (A, OPG04, OPG10, OPL03) showed better differentiation than the others. At the time discrimination index, band clarity, band number and difficulty of band scoring were considered. These primers will be useful for typing Salmonella spp. in the future. Curretly, we are under investigation for the RAPD typing of contaminated Slmonella spp. for the risk analysis of pork processing plant using the primers.

Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay was conducted to identify polymorphic markers in Amrithmahal, Krishna Valley, Hallikar, Deoni, Khillari, Ongole and Malnad Gidda breeds of South Indian cattle using twenty six primers. Of the 93 RAPD markers obtained, 53 were present in all breeds, 22 were individual specific and 18 were polymorphic for different breeds. Dual purpose breeds viz., Krishna Valley and Ongole showed less genetic divergence between them as compared to their genetic divergence from draft breeds viz., Amrithmahal, Hallikar and Khillari. Malnad Gidda was found to be a distinctly different from others studied.

Intraspecific genetic diversity of sixteen accessions of Mogolian Alliums including fifteen species was investigated using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Twenty three out of forty primers revealed scorable polymorphism. A total of 440 RAPD markers were generated on the 16 accessions of Mongolian Alliums. Among 440 RAPDs assayed, 439 were polymorphic with a mean polymorphic rate of 99.7%. Unweighted pair-group method using an arithmetic average (UPGMA) cluster analysis using RAPD data separated the 16 Allium accessions into two broad groups at similarity index 0.70. The clustering of the species was closely related with previous classification between A. altaicum and A. fistulosum. In addition, a high genetic similarity was showed between A. cepa and A. tagar.

Eleven Italian ryegrass cultivars were examined for their genetic polymorphisms and phylogenetic relationships using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. In RAPD analysis of 34 random primers, 96 of total 162 bands obtained from 16 primers were polymorphic and sizes of polymorphic band ranged between 0.5 and 1.5kb. Number of bands amplified per primer was varied from 3 to 16 and average number was 14.8. Phylogenetic relationship among cultivars based on the RAPD analysis was examined using UPGMA computer program. In pairwise genetic similarity test of 11 Italian ryegrass cultivars, Grazer and Orlando showed highest coefficient of genetic similarity as 0.740, whereas Marshall and Orlando was lowest as 0.438. Eleven Italian ryegrass cultivars were grouped into 3 major clusters and genetic distance of clusters ranged between 0.567 and 0.646, indicating low level of genetic variation.

Glehnia littoralis Fr. Schmidt et Miquel is an important medicinal plants in East Asian countries. This plant species naturally distributed in Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan, but it is a rare plants living in the coastal dune in Korea. To investigate the genetic variation, genetic diversity and genetic evolutionary relationships of 14 different geographical G. littoralis, ITS sequence and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) were analyzed. On the basis of ITS sequences, it was clearly showed that the ITS1 and ITS2 sequences among 14 populations are identical regardless of geographical origin excepting 2 bp in pair-wise comparison of ITS1. Furthermore, RAPD results also showed that 14 different geographical G. littoralis produce various polymorphic patterns without critical relationship among neighboring regions. These combined results suggest that the geographical variation and genetic evolution of G. littoralis is stable and provide important information on genetic diversity, and conservation of this rare plant species in situ and ex situ.

The genetic variations in three major river populations viz. the Halda, the Jamuna and the Padma of the Indian major carp, Catla catla were analyzed by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Four decamer primers were used for amplifying DNA of 10 individuals from each population. The proportion of polymorphic loci and the gene diversity estimates were 59.4 and 0.20 for the Halda, 37.5 and 0.14 for the Jamuna and 46.9 and 0.16 for the Padma populations respectively indicating the existence of a relatively high level of genetic variation in the Halda river population. The inter-population similarity indices, gene flow and genetic distance values indicated that the Jamuna-Padma population pair of catla was genetically closer than the Halda-Jamuna and the Halda-Padma population pairs in compliance with the geographical distances among them. The coefficient of gene differentiation ($G_{ST}$=0.13) reflects some degree of genetic differentiation among three populations of catla studied. The data suggest that the RAPD technique could be used to discriminate different river populations of catla.

This study was carried out to establish genetic understanding of three Sasang constitutions of Taeumin, Soeumin and Soyangin by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA(RAPD) analysis. We have applied RAPD analysis to pooled DNA sample as a means to achieve rapid screening of large numbers of primers for their capacity to reveal constitutions-specific polymorphisms. From an initial 440 primers, 13 polymorphic primers between different constitutions were selected. Bandsharing(BS) and mean average percentage difference(MAPD) calculated within and between three constitutions using RAPD fingerprint data showed a higher degree of homogenity within than between the constitutions and indicated measurable divergence between three constitutions. The RAPD bandsharing(BS) values ranged from 0.71 to 0.73 between the three constitutions. The interconstitution divergence was narrower between Taeumin and Soeumin, than between the other paired constitution comparisons. The genetic distance between the three constitutions was measured by BS values. Genetic distance by RAPD analysis was 0.007 between Taeumin and Soeumin, and 0.014 between Soyang and the others. In conclusion, the genetic distance of Teaumin and Soumin was closer than that of Soyangin in the analysis of RAPD by using 440 primers.

Sixty-three isolates of Lentinus edodes obtained from Korea were used to assess the genetic similarity by isozyme polymorphisms and random amplified polymorphic DNA patterns. The activities of esterase, peroxidase and acid phosphatase displayed 10, 7 and 3 distinct isozyme patterns, respectively. By combining the isozyme patterns obtained with the 3 enzymes, every isolate showed its own distinct electrophoretic phenotypes. A distance matrix calculated between all pairs of 63 electrophoretic phenotypes based on the presence or abscence of isozyme bands were analyzed by the group-average method. Results of the cluster analysis assinged the 63 phenotypes into six major groups. In the analysis of random amplified polymorphic DNA patterns, all isolates of Lentinus edodes were devided into five RAPD groups.

RAPD markers were analyzed in order to detect the genetic variation and diversity of the fifty-two melon lines. SDS extraction method produced more and purer DNA than CTAB method. RAPD reaction conditions were optimized as follows ; 10ng template DNA, 270nM primer, $200{\mu}M$ each of dATP, dCTP, dGTP and dTTP, $0.3{\mu}unit$ dynazyme and 10x buffer brought to $15{\mu}l$ final volume with distilled water. The adequate annealing temperature was $39^{\circ}C$ and forty cycles of amplification produced the best RAPD band patterns. Among a total of 123 bands from 12 random primers, 25 polymorphic bands(20%) were selected as reliable markers. The average number of polymorphic bands per primer was 2.1 among the 52 lines. Intragroup genetic relationship based on the marker difference was closer than intergroup genetic relationship. The 52 lines could be grouped into two major group (Korean landraces and melon lines) and then melon group subdivided into two subgroups (net melon lines and no-net melon). This result corresponded to morphological grouping. Eight RAPD markers separated the Korean landraces and melon groups and four RAPD markers separated net melon and no-net melon groups.
