Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was used to investigate the genetic variations of Coreoleuciscus splendidus within and among the West Korea Subdistrict populations (in Han and Geum Rivers) and the South Korea Subdistrict populations (in Seomjin and Nakdong Rivers). Twelve random primers were employed to generate RAPD markers. All primers were produced to identify specific RAPD markers between the West and South Korea Subdistrict populations. Analyses of genetic similarity and distance among the West and South Korea Subdistrict populations of C. splendidus also revealed similar results, with low genetic similarity (0.49~0.53) and high distance value (0.63~0.71). UPGMA dendrogram based on genetic distance was also similar in results. Therefore, the West Korea Subdistrict populations and the South Korea Subdistrict populations vary in genetic structure, and C. splendidus in the South Korea Subdistrict may represent a different species.

잉어과(Gyprinidae)의 Zocco속 어류 4종과 Candidia속 어류 1종에 대한 종간 유연관계와 종분화 연대측정 및 이들의 지질학적 분포경로를 밝히기 위하여 한국, 일본 및 대만에서 채집된 개체를 대상으로 전기영동법에 의한 유전자 분석을 하였다. 각 종의 지역별(한국, 일본, 대만) 집단간 유전적 유연관계를 분석한 결과 평균 유전적 근연치는 90% 이상이었다. Z. temmincki의 경우 일본집 단들은 한국의 A-type 집단과는 유연관계가 가까왔으나 한국의 B-type과는 유전적 차이가 현저하러다. Z. PlaD여5의 경우 한국집단과 일본집단사이의 유연관계는 S = 0.852였고, 한국집단과 대만집단 사이는 5 = 0.672, 일본집단과 대만집단 사이는 S = 0.751로서 지리적으로 현저한 차이를 업였다. Z. pochycephalus 3개 집단간의 유전적 근인치는 S = 0.963이었고 Candidia borbota 2개 집단간은 S = 0.946이었다. 종간의 유전적 근연환계를 비교한 결과 Candidia borbota와 Z. temmincki사이는 S = 0.608, Z. pluDpus와 1. pachycephalus사이는 S = 0.612였으나, Z. temmincki와 Z. platypus사이는 S = 0.441, Z. temmincki 와 Z. pochycepholus 사이는 S = 0.350이었고, Z. plotpus와 Condfda barbata사이는 S = 0.328로서 이들 사이에는 현저한 유전적 차이가 있었다. 각 종간의 롱분화 연대를 추산한 결과 이들은 약 480만년 전인 Pliocene 초기에 공통 조상종에서 분화하여 Z. temmincki, Candidia borbato group과 Z. plotypus, Z. pochycepholus group으로 분리되었고 약 260만년 전인 Pliocene 후기에 Z. temminc소와 Candidia borbota로 분화되었다고 추산되며 약 80만년 전인 Pleistocene시기에 남 temmincki B-type에서 h-type이 분화되었다짙 여겨진다. 한편 또 다른 한 단opP은 약 230만년 전인 열iocene후기에 대만 지역의 Z. plotypas에서 Z. pochvcepholus가 분화된 후 현재에 이르렀다고 추정된다. Z. platypus는 약150만년 이전인 초기 Pleistocene시기에 대만지역에서 한국 및 일본집단으로 분리되었다고 보며 이들 한국집단과 일본집단은 약 50만년 전 Pleistocene의 Middle기에 고황하 수계를 거쳐 현재의 분포 상황에 이르렀다고 여겨진다. 한편 대. temmin체과의 B-type에서 저온 적응으로 분화되었다고 추측되는 A-type은 약 20만년 전인 Pleistocene의 Riss기에 역시 고황하 수계를 통하여 한국과 일본으로 분포하여 현재에 이르렀다고 사료된다.

Five microsatellite DNA markers were used to investigate genetic diversity and population structure of olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus collected from four locations (YD, SC, GJ, WD) where hatchery-based seeds of the flounder have been released. The average of observed (Ho) and expected heterozygosity (He) ranged from 0.833 to 0.871, and from 0.842 to 0.876, respectively. The average number of alleles per locus ranged from 12.4 to 17.8. The proportion of stocked flounder ranged from 20.0% to 95.8% for wild-caught populations with a decreasing tendency of alleles per locus following a higher proportion of stocked flounder. There is need to implement a more careful stock-enhancement program of hatchery-based seeds and to monitor its genetic effects on wild populations to ensure conservation of natural flounder resources.

The choice of molecular markers is the first step when selecting experimental plans in the field of population genetics. The popular molecular markers in population genetic studies are mainly allozyme, RAPD, RFLP, AFLP, microsatellite, SNP and ISSR. Among these, microsatellites are frequently found in nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial genome, showing a high level of polymorphism and nuclear microsatellites are codominant. Thus, it is a favorable molecular marker for population structure analyses and genetic diversity studies. Microsatellites are composed of tandem repeated 1~6 base pair nucleotide motifs and can be easily amplified by PCR reactions using locus specific primers. Because microsatellites have low cross-species transferability, however, they are only applicable between phylogenetically close species. In wild plants, the lack of genomic information and the high development cost of the microsatellite obstruct the wider use of microsatellites in plant population genetics research. In this review, we introduce the basis for microsatellite markers, the development process, and analytical methods as well as evolutionary models and their applications. In addition, possible genotyping errors which lead to erroneous conclusions are discussed.

We investigated the genetic diversity of an endemic rare species, Forsythia ovata Nakai by examining 93 ISSR amplicons in 84 individuals distributed among five populations. The overall percentage of polymorphic ISSR amplicons was 54.8% and mean number of amplicons per ISSR primer was 6.6. The amount of genetic diversity was relatively lower than other shrub species. The Mt. Seokbyeong and Mt. Seorak B populations had the highest level of genetic diversity. Although the Seokgae-jae population had the lowest level of genetic diversity, the population was genetically the most distinctive from the other populations. About 30.6% of the total variation was allocated between five populations, which was slightly higher than other shrub species. Such a pattern of genetic variation may have resulted from the limited distribution and small population sizes of F. ovata. The UPGMA dendrogram based on Nei's genetic distance showed some decisive geographic patterns. These results suggest that, in addition to the preservation of the natural stands, the conservation of larger number of populations with small number of individuals per population is more effective for the dynamic ex situ conservation and for maintaining the genetic diversity of F. ovata than smaller number of populations with large number of individuals.

The study was conducted to select and optimize microsatellite (MS) markers for evaluate Korean Native Chicken (KNC) breeds in order to provide standard for the classification and breed definition of the indigenous breeds. The study also aimed to characterize and classify each KNC populations for inventory and management of avian genetic resources. A total of 462 chickens from 11 populations of chicken breeds including eight KNC breeds and three commercial chicken breeds were analyzed with 19 MS markers. KNC breeds, especially Long-Tail Chicken breeds, formed separate cluster from those commercial chicken breeds. Genetic distances between KNC populations (0.11~0.18) were relatively shorter. Genetic uniformity of KNC (except KNCR breed) (0.86~0.88) were higher than that of commercial breeds (except Cornish) (0.95~0.97). On the other hand, genetic uniformity of KNC Long Tail (KNCLT) were relatively higher (0.91~0.97). The result can be used to evaluate and manage animal genetic resources at national scale.

The genetic variation of Ark Shell, Scapharca broughtonii black was estimated using six polymorphic microsatellite (MS) loci in 443 individuals collected from five populations in Korea. The mean numbers of alleles per locus in five populations were 10-28. The mean number of alleles per locus in Jinhae Hatchery (JHH) population showed the least value as 15.5, but that in Gangjin (GJ) population showed the most value as 20.3. The mean expected heterozygosity in Saryangdo (SR) population showed the least value as 0.817, but that in Gangjin (GJ) population showed the most value as 0.831. In Jinhae hatchery(JHH) population, the mean expected heterozygosity was 0.822, there was no significant difference from those of wild population. The $F_{ST}$ values in Gangjin (GJ) population showed significant difference from those of the other populations, which revealed Gangjin (GJ) population is genetically different from the other populations. The $F_{ST}$ values among Jinhae Hatchery (JHH) population, Jinhae (JH) population and Saryangdo (SR) population showed lower values than the others, which implies there was a gene flow among these three populations. The $F_{ST}$ value and genetic distance between Jinhae (JH) population and Saryangdo (SR) population showed the least value as 0.0001 and 0.0386, indicating that these two populations were genetically the same.

Genetic diversity among four populations of Chinese shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis from Narodo, Yeonggwang, Taean and Chinese Bohai Bay was assessed by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) DNA fingerprinting. Total numbers of AFLP bands generated (ranging from 251 to 254) and average percent of polymorphic bands (27.1 to 28.1 %) were similar in the four populations. Heterozygosity and genetic diversity within or among the populations were very low for the populations with average values ranging from 0.1177 to 0.1288 and from 0.1099 to 0.1194, respectively. Analyses of pairwise distance, Fst index and genetic similarity among the populations also revealed the similar results with very low genetic differentiation each other. These results suggest that all the wild populations tested in the present analysis may be belonging to the same genetic origin, and also that they may have a close relationship in genetic structure without any significant differentiation.
