Abstract

To investigate the origin of backyeoncho (Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten), we isolated 685 bp clone using ITS primer pairs. The rDNA consists of the genes coding for the partial 54 bp 185, 162 bp 5.8S, and partial 56 bp 26S. The coding regions are interrupted by two internal transcribed spacers, 193 bp ITS1 and 220 bp ITS2. The ITS2 of backnyeoncho in length was shorter than that previously registered in Cucurbitoideae plants. The GC contents was 66.8% in ITS1, and 67.7% in ITS2. The rDNA of backnyeoncho matched to the previously reported genes and showed a high similarity with the 95% identity with Pereskiopsis porteri (L708037). In the phylogenetic analysis, the backnyeoncho rDNA was clustered with Pereskiopsis porteri (L708037).

제주도에 자생하는 부채 선인장인 백년초의 기원 규명을 목적으로 ITS primer를 이용하여 685 bp의 ITS 영역을 분리하였다. ITS 영역의 염기서열을 분석한 결과 18S rRNA의 길이는 54 bp, 26S rRNA는 55 bp, ITS1은 193 bp, ITS2는 220 bp로 구성되어 있었다. 백년초 ITS 영역은 기존에 보고된 Cucurbitoideae 식물들의 ITS 영역에 비하여 ITS2 스페이서 영역의 239-254 bp보다는 다소 짧았다. 그러나 이들 스페이서 영역의 GC 함량은 백년초의 경우 ITS1은 66.8%, ITS2의 경우에는 67.7%로 Cucurbitoideae 식물들에서 보다 높은 GC 함량을 나타내었다. 백년초 선인장의 rDNA 영역에 가장 높은 상동성을 나타낸 것은 같은 Opuntioideae에 속하는 Pereskiopsis porteri(L78037)로 95%의 유사도를 나타내었다. 백년초 rDNA Clustal W 프로그램을 이용하여 유연관계를 조사한 결과 같은 Opuntioideae에 속하는 Pereskiopsis porteri(L78037)와 같은 cluster로 분리되었다.
