Abstract

Consumption of green tea has increased along with increasing concern regarding healthier lifestyles, and many brands of green tea are sold with a label indicating the region of Korea in which the tea was produced. However, there is little information on identifying the difference between the green tea cultivars according to the region they were grown. Here, 9 green tea cultivars collected from Hadong region, Bosung region, China and Japan were subjected to the STS-RFLP analysis. Using the coding and noncoding DNA regions of genes related to the phenylpropanoid pathway, such as phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, chalcone synthase and dihydroflavonol 4-reductase, we have identified the differences between green tea cultivars according to the region they were grown in. In this study, we showed a STS-RFLP method of green tea analysis which easily distinguished different kinds of tea using the primers as described. In addition, we identified that the green tea cultivars from Hadong and Bosung displayed a different profile when PAL intron was digested with Dde I, suggesting that a rapid authentication system for green tea cultivars grown in different regions in Korea is available.

최근 웰빙 열풍으로 나날이 녹차에 대한 관심과 소비가 증가하고, 생산 재배되고 있는 산지에 대한 브랜드화가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 지역에서 재배되고 있는 녹차품종의 구별 및 차이에 대해서는 아직 많은 연구가 되어 있지 않고 있다. 이 연구에서 국내 대표 녹차산지인 하동지역과 보성지역에서 채집한 녹차와 중국과 일본의 대표적 녹차품종을 가지고 STS-RFLP분석을 수행하였다. 페닐프로파노이드 생합성 경로에 관여하는 페닐알라닌 암모니아 리아제와 찰콘 합성효소 그리고 디하이드로플라보놀 4-리덕타아제 유전자의 암호영역과 비암호영역을 사용하여 이들 품종들을 구별할 수 있는 연구에 성공하였다. 이 논문에서는 녹차품종 구별에 사용 가능한 STS-RFLP법과 프라이머를 나타내었고, 하동지역과 보성지역의 녹차품종을 CHS 유전자의 CAPS 마커만으로 구별할 수 있는 방법을 찾아내어, 국내 지역간 품종의 구분 및 검증에 사용할 수 있다는 사실을 제시하였다.
