종이는 목재섬유와 물의 현탁액을 스크련을 통해 균일하게 분산시킨 판상섬유 제품 으로서 가격이 저렴하고, 열, 전기절연성, 필터기능, 난연성 및 폐기성이 우수하여 다양한 분 야에서 활용되고 있다. 특히 최근에는 종이의 고부가가치화, 차별화를 위하여 내열성, 전기 절연성, 내수성, 기계적 특성, 내약품성, 생체적응성을 지닌 다양한 기능지가 개발되어 식품, 전기, 전자, 건축, 화학, 의료 관련 산업에 있어서 주요 재료로 이용되고 있다. 특히 전기, 전 자산업 발전과 더불어 전기절연성이 우수한 종이의 역할과 수요는 크게 증대되고 있으며 산 업발전의 핵심적인 제품으로서 자리매김을 하고 있다. 하지만 국내의 경우 전기절연지와 관 련된 제품 및 생산기술 부족으로 전량을 수입에 의존하고 있는 실정이며, 그 수입량은 앞으 로 전기 및 전자 산업의 발전으로 인해 더욱 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 수입의존성을 극복하기 위해서는 전기절연지와 관련된 제품개발 및 생산기술에 관한 연구가 시급히 요청 되고 있다. 이러한 기술의 국산화는 수입 대체 효과 뿐만 아니라 관련 산업의 발전에도 기 여할 수 있을 것으로 예상되며 수출산업으로 성장할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 종이의 전기적 성질은 유전상수, 유전손실율과 같은 유전적 특성과 전기저항, 절연 파괴강도의 기계적 특성으로 구분할 수 있다. 종이의 전기적 성질 가운데 유전율은 전기장 에 대한 종이의 물리화학적인 반응으로 일반적으로 종이의 밀도와 종이를 구성하는 성분의 쌍극자 모멘트에 비례하며 온도에 따라서도 변화한다. 일반적으로 온도가 상승하면 열에너 지를 얻게된 쌍극자가 전기장에 배열됨으로써 유전율이 상승하지만 온도가 유리전이점 이상 으로 높아질 경우 열적 교란에 의해서 분극 능력이 감소하게 되어 유전완화 현상이 나타난 다. 전기절연지로 사용될 종이의 절연특성을 이해하기 위해서는 사용환경에 따른 유전적 특 성 및 tan$\delta$에 관한 연구가 펼요하다. 본 연구에서는 종이의 유전특성을 개선하기 위해서 펼름형성능력이 우수한 polyvinyl alcoholCPV A)과 aery lonitrile을 이용하여 시아노에틸화한 P PYA의 표면처리에 따른 종이의 유전적 특성의 변화를 검토하였다. 그 결과 PYA에 도입된 시아노에틸기에 의해 유전율을 증가시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또 본 연구에 적용된 시험 범위에서는 온도상승에 따라 유전율이 상승하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the potential use of New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides) as a new vegetable crop which will be cultivated in salt-affected soils such as reclaimed areas. New Zealand spinach ecotypes native to Korea were collected across the Southern, Western and Eastern seashore regions of the Korean peninsula, among which fifty-five accessions were later further propagated and evaluated genetically by using an AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) marker. Based on the AFLP analysis performed to uncover the genetic diversity of the collected ecotypes, enzymatic cleavage of the extracted DNA was implemented based on 12 EcoRI and MseI combinations. A total of 1,279 alleles (107 alleles per EcoRI and MseI enzyme combination) were successfully amplified, among which 62 alleles per enzyme combination were polymorphic (58%). The AFLP analysis indicated that the rate of genetic dissimilarity was 29% among the New Zealand spinach collections, which were clustered into the 7 genetic diversity group. This is the first report on the genetic variation in the genus Tetragonia, and the basic information can be applied to select parental lines for enhancing the segregation spectrum of the new halophytic vegetable plant grown in salt-affected areas.

As commercial use of genetic resources increases in modern society, calls for fair and equitable sharing of the benefits thereof have become increasingly prominent, particularly from developing countries. As a result, negotiations have been ongoing for the "International Regime on Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS)" for genetic resources as a successor to the non-binding Bonn Guideline. 2010 has been set as the target date for the Agreement. As South Korea is more likely to be a user country of genetic resources, it will be necessary for it to take part in the negotiating process and contribute to creating the International Regime on ABS, to ensure both appropriate access to genetic resources and fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising there from. To develop appropriate response strategies for South Korea, it is critical not only to closely examine the negotiations within the framework of the CBD but also to engage in discussions within thescope of related international organizations and domestic legislation. To achieve this goal, it is imperative for South Korea to form a comprehensive Government Response System, composed of relevant governmental bodies including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and the Ministry of Environment, etc.

This study analyzed 96 individuals in 6 populations using ISSR marker to investigate the genetic diversity of Salicornia herbacea populations. The total of 49 PCR amplification bands was observed in 6 ISSR primers, and 30 of them had genetic polymorphisms. The Shannon's information index (I) and gene diversity index (h), which indicate the genetic diversity of the Salicornia herbacea populations, were 0.382 and 0.249, respectively. The genetic diversity according to the population size was lowest with 0.092 (I) and 0.058 (h) in $0.1m{\times}0.1m$ and highest with 0.338 (I) and 0.227 (h) in $25m{\times}25m$, which was suitable for the furtherance of the high population with high genetic diversity. The UPGMA dendrogram based on Nei's genetic distance did not show a significant correlation with the distance between the Salicornia herbacea population. The results indicate that the Salicornia herbacea habiting in the restricted environment should have an area over a certain size to ensure the formation of a population with genetic diversity.

Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were performed in order to analyse the genetic relation-ships of both taxa of Gardenia jasminoides var. radicans and G. jasminoides for. grandifora. Over the 88 fragments, only one locus (ISSR-11-05) was specific to G. jasminoides var. radicans and only one (ISSR-09-05) G. jasminoides for. grandiflora. Although G. jasminoides var. radicans showed low levels of alleles and Shannon's information index than G. jasminoides for. Grandiflora, however, there was not significant differences (p > 0.05). For both taxa the mean genetic diversity of natural populations was higher than that of cultivation populations. It was suggested that domestication processes via artificial selection do not have eroded the high levels of genetic diversity. ISSR markers were more effective in classifying natural populations of wild G. jasminoides in East Asia as well as cultivated G. jasminoides. The information about the phylogenetic relationship of G. jasminoides var. radicans and its closely related species is very valuable of the systematics of genus Gardenia, the origin of cultivated G. jasminoides, and future G. jasminoides breeding.

인체에 투여된 약물의 반응은 개체간에 현저한 차이가 있으며 특히 환자에게 투여된 약물의 효과가 상이하게 나타남으로써 치료의 실패나 흑은 약물의 유해작용으로 나타나기도 한다. 이러한 개체 상호간의 약물반응의 차이는 환경적인 요소, 영양학적인 요소, 연령, 병용한 다른 약물 및 이미 앓고 있는 질병 등에 의해서도 영향을 받으나 특히 유전적으로 결정된 약물대사 능력의 차이에 의해서도 기인된다. 이러한 측면에서 약물 대사의 유전적인 다양성과 비정상적인 반응을 다루는 약물유전학의 중요성은 최근 두드러지게 대두되고 있다. 특히 유전적인 요인으로 개체간의 차이는 효소의 유전적인 결핍과 관련이 있으며 이 결핍은 생체이물질에 대한 반응의 다양성을 설명할 수 있는 약물대사 능력의 다형성에 기인한다. 또한 약물반응의 다양성은 인종간, 특히 동양인과 서양인에서의 약물반응에서도 차이가 있어 각 인종간의 약물반응의 차이에 대한 연구와 이의 원인규명에 대하여 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다. 이와 같은 견지에서 약물용량과 약물반응, 특히 약동학적 변화의 인종간의 차이와 각 개인의 차이 및 이의 원인에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

This study describes analysis of genetic diversity and spatial genetic structure of Korean poplar (Populus koreana Rehder) in Mt. Odae using I-SSR markers. P. koreana is a deciduous broad-leaved tree species that primarily grows in the alpine valleys of China, Russia and North Korea. In South Korea, P. koreana is found limitedly in Gangwon province. Especially, the population in Mt. Odae is located on the southern limit line, its importance is emphasized from the genetic resource conservation perspective. The Shannon's diversity (I=0.230) and the expected heterozygosity (He=0.151) were relatively low as compared with those of other plant species. Spatial autocorrelation analysis using Tanimoto's distance showed that the genetic patch was founded within 400 m. It is suggested that individual trees for ex situ conservation should be sampled with a minimum distance of 400 m between trees.

Transposable elements (TEs) occupy approximately 45% of the human genome and can enter functional genes randomly. During evolutionary radiation, multiple copies of TEs are produced by duplication events. Those elements contribute to biodiversity and phylogenomics. Most of them are controlled by epigenetic regulation, such as methylation or acetylation. Every species contains their own specific mobile elements, and they are divided into DNA transposons and retrotransposons. Retrotransposons can be divided by the presence of a long terminal repeat (LTR). They show various biological functions, such as promoter, enhancer, exonization, rearrangement, and alternative splicing. Also, they are strongly implicated to genomic instability, causing various diseases. Therefore, they could be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases such as cancers. Recently, it was found that TEs could produce miRNAs, which play roles in gene inhibition through mRNA cleavage or translational repression, binding seed regions of target genes. Studies of TE-derived miRNAs offer a potential for the expression of functional genes. Comparative analyses of different types of miRNAs in various species and tissues could be of interest in the fields of evolution and phylogeny. Those events allow us to understand the importance of TEs in relation to biological roles and various diseases.
