The DNA fragment containing ginseng ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxytase/oxygenase large subunit(rbcL) gene was cloned from the ginseng chloroplast EcoRl library by colony lift hybridization with tobacco rbcL gene probe. From the screened clone, the DNA fragment containing ginseng rbcL gene was digested with several restriction enzyme and analyzed by Southern blot hybridization for the construction of restriction map. The ginseng rbcL gene fragment was subcloned in pBluescript II SK + vector and sequence analysis was performed. The nucleotide sequence of ginseng rbcL gene was compared with those of petunia, tobacco, alfalfa, rice and barley, which showed a homology of 93.1%, 95.2%, 90.5%, 85.5% and 84.3%, respectively.

pRLYS1 containing intact rbcL gene of maize (Zea mays L. cv Golden X Bantam T-51; Zm-A) was digested with several restriction enzymes to construct subcones carrying promoter region of rbcL. The DNA fragments of 0.20, 0.19, 0.92 and 1.55 kb among the EcoRI digests, the EcoRI-DdeI digests, the AvaI digests and the EcoRI-BamHI digests of pRLYS1 were subcloned into pBluscriptSK＋and named pRLPS2, pRLPS3, pRLPS14 and pRLPS35, respectively. Four subclones contain the 1.92 kb portion from 136 nucleotide downstream to 1780 nucleotide upstream from the ATG initiation codon of rbcL gene. pRLPS2 (-29 to -229) and pRLPS3 (-239 to -420 from the ATG) were sequenced. When nucleotide sequence of Zm-A was compared with sequence of rbcL promoter region of a different cultivar of maize (Zea mays L. cv WFG TMS X BS7; Zm-B), the difference rate between two cultivars was 4.3%. The mean of sequence divergence between Zm-A and three grass species in the same tribe, Andropogoneae, in the upstream region from 29 to 420 of ATG was 1.8%, whereas between Zm-B and above-mentioned three species was 5.4%. Therefore, Zm-A seems to evolutionarily closer to three other species in Andropogoneae tribe than Zm-B is.

To know the changes of rbcL mRNA level by illumination, Northern hybridization analysis was performed with maize (Zea mays L.cv. Golden X Bantam). The average level of rbcL. mRNA in the light-grown shoots was 3.1 times higher than that of the dark-grown shoots after 6 to 10 growth days. The maximum difference of rbcL mRNA level between the dark-grown and the light-grown shoots was 5.1 folds. These results indicate that accumulation of rbcL mRNAin maize shoots is induced by light. Since the transcriptional DNA binding proteins and their cognate promoter elements, we carried out gel-retardation assays to elucidate the specific binding proteins on the rbcL promoter. It was found that plastid proteins of light-grown shoots bound to the R2 DNA fragment (-33 to -229) and R3 DNA fragment (-230 to -418 from ATG) of the rbcL promoter. From the results of competitive binding assays and heat or protease treatments, it was demonstrated that the bindings were sequence-specific DNA-protein interactions. Therefore, it could be concluded that the rbcL promoter region has at least two specific recognition sites for plastid proteins.

Objectives : Pinelliae Tuber has been used as a typical unauthentic herbal medicines. Due to the morphological similarity between Pinelliae Tuber and adulterants, the correct authentication is very difficult. Therefore, we introduced DNA barcode to establish a powerful tool for the authentication of Pinelliae Tuner from adulterants. Methods : To obtain DNA barcode regions, genomic DNA was extracted from nineteen specimens of Pinellia ternata, Pinellia pedatisecta, Pinellia tripartita, and Typhonium flagelliforme, and matK and rbcL genes were amplified. For identification of species specific sequences and analysis phylogenetic relationship, a comparative analysis were performed by the ClastalW and UPGMA based on entire sequences of matK and rbcL genes, respectively. Results : In comparison of two DNA barcode sequences, we elucidated the phylogenetic relationship showing distinct four groups depending on species and identified 40 and 20 species specific nucleotides enough to distinguish each species from matK and rbcL gene, respectively. The sequence differences at the corresponding positions were avaliable genetic marker nulceotides to discriminate the correct species among analyzed four species. These results indicated that phylogentic and comparative analysis of matK and rbcL genes are useful genetic markers to authenticate Pinelliae Tubers. Conclusions : The marker nucleotides enough to distinguish P. ternata, P. tripatrita, P. peditisecta, and T. flagelliform, were observed at 40 positions in matK gene and 20 positions in rbcL gene sequence, respectively. These differences can be used to authenticate Pinelliae Tuber from adulterants as well as discriminate each four species.

We report the first finding of Halarachnion parvum and Champia lubrica from Korea based on morphology and the plastid rbcL sequence analyses. H. parvum occurs in the subtidal zone of Munseom, the southern part of Jeju. Thalli have short stipe, and elliptical to ovate fronds with marginal proliferations of up to 3 cm in height. H. parvum has zonately divided tetrasporangia and cystocarp immersed under the cortical layer. Champia lubrica appears in Namhae, Gyeongnam and Seopseom, Jeju. Thalli are erect, irregularly branched, terete, obtuse apex, up to 3-5 cm high, and have tetrahedrally divided tetrasporangia. Molecular analyses of the plastid rbcL gene reveal that two species are clearly separated from other species of their respective genera. H. parvum is sister with Halarachnion latissimum in 3.1-3.2% sequence divergence, and C. lubrica is closely related to the sample from Japan with 0.2% sequence divergence.

Papenfussiella densa was described as Papenfussiella kuromo f. densa from Japan by Inagaki in 1958. P. densa has been recognized as an endemic and independent species based on the molecular analyses of type material without detailed morphological observations. In this study, Papenfussiella densa is reported as a new record from Dok-do, South Korea, based on morphological and molecular analyses. Papenfussiella densa is mainly characterized as having narrow, branched, slimy, and tomentose thalli with branchlets, partially hollow in the medulla of the middle part. The molecular analyses of the chloroplast rbcL-rbcS DNA sequence of the Papenfussiella densa sample from Korea revealed that it matched that of P. densa from Japan and was nested in the clade of Papenfussiella. There was only a 0.02% gene sequence divergence between the Korean and Japanese samples. We report P. densa as a new record from Korea and add this species to the list of Korean macroalgal flora.

분자생물학적 자료에 의한 한국산 백합강 식물에 대한 분류학적 재검토를 시도하였다. 2가지의 다른 자료, 즉 엽록체 DNA인 rbcL 및 atpB sequence 자료분석에서 대체적으로 일치하는 계통수를 얻었다. 즉, 한국산 백합강은 Dahlgren 등의 분류체계에 의한 비짜루목, 백합목, 마목의 3목으로 구분되었다. 이중 비짜루목과 백합목의 유연관계를 추론하는 분자생물학적 연구에서 마목의 분류군이 군외분류군으로 사용되었다. 두 엽록체 DNA인 rbcL 및 atpB sequence 분석에서 붓꽃과는 백합과 보다는 비짜루과에 더 가까운 유연관계를 보여주었다. 그러나, 넓은 의미의 Narthecaceae (종전의 Melanthiaceae [국명부재]에 속한 분류군)는 비짜루목이나 백합목에 속하는 분류군들과 가까운 유연관계를 보이지 않았다. 이전의 은방울꽃과 [Ruscaceae] 내에 취급되었던 애기나리속, 나도옥잠화속, 죽대아재비속 등은 각각 Colchiaceae, 백합과, Caloghortaceae로 이전 되어야 한다는 결론이 내려졌다. 마지막으로 한국산 백합강에 속하는 과의 체계에 대해서 토의하였다.

Polysiphonia pacifica is rhodomelaceous red algal species that includes five varieties in Pacific Ocean: P. pacifica var. delicatula, P. pacifica var. distans, P. pacifica var. determinata, P. pacifica var. disticha, and P. pacifica var. gracilis. We here report morphology and phylogeny of P. pacifica to confirm the relationships among previously described varieties as a loan of type specimens from US and to assess phylogenetic relationships of closely related species using plastid protein-coding rbcL gene. Polysiphonia pacifica is distinguished by having creeping filaments attached by unicellular rhizoids not cut off by cross walls, four pericentral cells, ecorticate, trichoblasts rare, ultimate branchlets attenuate at the tip but not pungent, and tetrasporangia in long straight series in the ultimate branchlets. The protein-coding plastid rbcL gene sequence data show that P. pacifica is distinctly different from the superficially similar species, P. morrowii and P. stricta. However, the rbcL sequences of P. pacifica var. pacifica and var. disticha are identical though they have morphological variation.

The brown algal family Chordariaceae sensu lato is a focus of taxonomy because recent studies suggest a broad concept of the family, including genera formerly classified in the Dictyosiphonales. Using morphology, plastid rbcL and nrDNA ITS sequences, we evaluated relationships of the monotyic genus Soranthera (S. ulvoidea), which has been classified in the Punctariaceae. The species occurs in Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, Alaska to Baja California. Thalli are globose to lobed, hollow, 3-5 cm in diameter, and covered with evenly distributed sori. However, two forms within the species are recognized: f. ulvoidea for globose forms and f. difformis for lobed forms. Plastid rbcL and nuclear ITS region sequences were newly determined in samples of S. ulvoidea from the Pacific coast of the North America. We found little variations in the ITS sequences among samples of S. ulvoidea from five different locations and in the rbcL region from two different locations. These results do not support previous classification of f. ulvoidea and f. difformis within the species. All analyses of our rbcL sequence dataset show that Soranthera was placed in the Chordariaceae s.l., but more related to Botrytella than Punctaria and Asperococcus.
