Abstract

Asarum consists of low-growing herbs and is a genus in the Aristolochiaceae family with species found in the north temperate zones with most species in Asia. We evaluated the nine taxa with the trnL - trnT region of the chloroplast genome to estimate phenotypic relationships within genus Asarum in Korea. Alignment of the DNA sequences required the addition of numerous gaps. Sequence variation within the Asarum was mostly due to nucleotide inserts/deletions, although several indels and inserts were found. Another source of sequence divergence was length variation due to stretches of short repeats that occur at the trnL - trnT region in all the Asarum. A + T content for nine Korean species of genus Asarum ranged between 74.7% and 78.3%. These values were higher than those for the angiosperm alignments of the total trnL and trnT region (64.5~67.1%). Within genus Asarum, A. patens was strikingly different from the others in the three phylogenetic analyses (MP, ML, and NJ). However, some internal nodes were poorly supported. Within Korean Asarum, four species were unsolved portions. Possible reasons for the striking non-congruence between the previous morphological traits and the trnL - trnT based on phylogeny were discussed.

족도리풀속은 쥐방울덩굴과에 속하는 키 작은 초본이며 아시아의 온대지역에서 많은 종이 주로 분포한다. 이속에 속하는 우리나라 자생 식물 아홉 분류 간 계통 관계를 평가하기 위해 엽록체 게놈의 trnL - trnT 부위로 평가하였다. DNA 서열 배당은 많은 갭(gaps)을 가지고 있었다. 이 속 내 서열 변이는 일부 삽입과 결실이 발견되었지만 주로 핵산의 삽입/결실에 기인하였다. 서열 분화의 또 다른 원천은 이 속의 trnL - trnT 부위에서 발생한 짧은 반복 서열에 의한 길이 변화이다. 이 속의 9개 분류군에 대한 trnL - trnT 부위에서 A+T 함량은 74.7~78.3%로 피자식물의 평균(64.5~67.1%)보다 높았다. 이 속의 금오족도리풀은 세 계통도(MP, ML, and NJ)에서 모두 현저하게 차이가 났다. 그런데 일부 내부 분지마디는 낮은 지지도를 보였으며 네 종은 분리되지 않았다. 기존의 형태학적 특성과 trnL - trnT의 계통도 간 불일치에 대해 논의하였다.
