A large number of branded chicken products exist in Japan, and in some cases, the breed of chicken is an important factor used to attract consumer interest in the retail product. In order to establish a simple method for verifying such breed claims we applied the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique to nine chicken breeds (White Cornish, Red Cornish, White Plymouth Rock, New Hampshire, Rhode Island Red, Barred Plymouth Rock, Hinaidori, Tosajidori, Tsushimajidori) to search for molecular markers able to discriminate chicken breeds. Three breed-specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were identified, one for each of Hinaidori, Tosajidori, or New Hampshire. A total of 219 individuals from the nine breeds were analyzed using a specific PCR test for each of these SNP. The PCR tests made it possible to discriminate between the breeds of chickens to identify products from these three breeds. This PCR method provides an efficient method for the routine analysis and verification of certified chicken products.

Fusarium graminearum (telomorph：Gibberella zeae), an important fungal pathogen of cereal crops with ubiquitous geographic distribution, produces mycotoxins on diseased crops that has threaten human and animal health. Recently severe epidemics of scab diseases of barley and rice by this fungus occurred in Korea, causing serious economic losses. To determine genetic diversity of F. graminearum from rice in Korea, a total of 269 isolates were obtained from Southern part of Korea during 2001-2002. A phylogenetic tree of the isolates was constructed by using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). Population structure of the rice isolates consists of a single lineage (lineage 6). Frequency of female fertility among these Isolates was relatively low (37％) compared to that among lineage 7 isolates from Korean corn. PCR amplification using chemotype specific primers derived from Tri7 and Tri13 genes at the trichothecene biosynthesis gene cluster revealed that most isolates (260) were NIV chemotype；9 isolates were identified as DON chemotype by Tri13 but as either NIV chemotype or unknown by Tri7. The result of chemical analysis also supported the chemotype determination；all of the NIV chemotype isolates produced NIV, whereas the 9 isolates produce either DON or no toxin.

To select entomopathogenic fungi controlling aphids effectively, several isolates were screened against second instars of Myzus persicae nymphs in the glasshouse using conidia suspension at $1.0{\times}10^5$ conidia/ml. Among these isolates, SFB-205 conidia showed the highest insecticidal activity about 32.7% efficacy to M. persicae at 4 days after application in the glasshouse. The attachment of SFB-205 conidia on the surface of M. persicae nymphs, and germination and penetration were observed using scanning electron microscopy. SFB-205 was identified as Beauveria bassiana species through the comparison of 5.8 s rRNA genes. There were 24 polymorphisms between SFB-205 and the previously reported isolate, B. bassiana ATCC74040 using six kinds of primer combinations in amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis. The B. bassiana SFB-205 might be used as a practical biological control agent for the green peach aphid, M. persicae in the field.

In this study, we investigated the genetic variation in the general of monocot model plant (rice) in response to various ionizing irradiations including gamma-ray, ion beam and cosmic-ray. The non-irradiated and three irradiated (200 Gy of gamma-ray and 40 Gy of ion beam and cosmic-ray) plants were analyzed by AFLP technique using capillary electrophoresis with ABI3130xl genetic analyzer. The 29 primer combinations tested produced polymorphism results showing a total of 2,238 bands with fragments sizes ranged from 30 bp to 600 bp. The number of polymorphism generated by each primer combinations was varied significantly, ranging from 2 (M-CAC/E-ACG) to 158 (M-CAT/E-AGG) with an average of 77 bands. Polymorphic peaks were detected as 1,269 with an average of 44 per primer combinations. By UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method using Arithmetic clustering) analysis method, the clusters were divided into non-irradiated sample and three irradiated samples at a similarity coefficient of 0.41 and three irradiation samples was subdivided into cosmic-ray and two irradiation samples (200 Gy of gamma-ray and 40 Gy of ion beam) at similarity coefficient of 0.48. Similarity coefficient values ranged from 0.41 to 0.55.

Soybean seeds contain high amounts of isoflavones that display biological effects and isoflavone content of soybean seed can vary by year, environment, and genotype. Objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci that underlie isoflavone content in soybean seeds. The study involved 85 $F_2$ populations derived from Korean soybean cultivar 'Kwangkyo' and wild type soybean 'IT182305' for QTL analysis associated with isoflavone content. Isoflavone content of seeds was determined by HPLC. The genetic map of 33 linkage groups with 207 markers was constructed. The linkage map spanned 2,607.5 cM across all 33 linkage groups. The average linkage distance between pair of markers among all linkage groups was 12.6 cM in Kosambi map units. Isoflavone content in $F_2$ generations varied in a fashion that suggested a continuous, polygenic inheritance. Eleven markers (4 RAPD, 3 SSR, 4 AFLP) were significantly associated with isoflavone content. Only two markers, Satt419 and CTCGAG3 had F-tests that were significant at P<0.01 in $F_2$ generation for isoflavone content. Interval mapping using the $F_2$ data revealed only two putative QTLs for isoflavone content. The peak QTL region on linkage group 3, which was near OPAG03c, explained $14\%$ variation for isoflavone content. The peak QTL region on linkage group 5, which was located near OPN14 accounted for $35.3\%$ variation for isoflavone content. Using both Map-Maker-QTL $(LOD{\geq}2.0)$ and single-factor analysis $(P{\leq}0.05)$, one marker, CTCGAG3 in linkage group 3 was associated with QTLs for isoflavone content. This information would then be used in identification of QTLs for isoflavone content with precision

The objective of the present research was to map QTLs associated with agronomic traits such as days from sowing to flowering, plant height, yield and leaf-related traits in a population of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of sunflower (Helianthus annuus). Two field experiments were conducted with well-irrigated and partially irrigated conditions in randomized complete block design with three replications. A map with 304 AFLP and 191 SSR markers with a mean density of 1 marker per 3.7 cM was used to identify QTLs related to the studied traits. The difference among RILs was significant for all studied traits in both conditions. Three to seven QTLs were found for each studied trait in both conditions. The percentage of phenotypic variance ($R^2$) explained by QTLs ranged from 4 to 49%. Three to six QTLs were found for each yield-related trait in both conditions. The most important QTL for grain yield per plant on linkage group 13 (GYP-P-13-1) under partial-irrigated condition controls 49% of phenotypic variance ($R^2$). The most important QTL for 1,000-grain weight (TGW-P-11-1) was identified on linkage group 11. Favorable alleles for this QTL come from RHA266. The major QTL for days from sowing to flowering (DSF-P-14-1) were observed on linkage group 14 and explained 38% of the phenotypic variance. The positive alleles for this QTL come from RHA266. The major QTL for HD (HD-P-13-1) was also identified on linkage group 13 and explained 37% of the phenotypic variance. Both parents (PAC2 and RHA266) contributed to QTLs controlling leaf-related traits in both conditions. Common QTL for leaf area at flowering (LAF-P-12-1, LAF-W-12-1) was detected in linkage group 12. The results emphasise the importance of the role of linkage groups 2, 10 and 13 for studied traits. Genomic regions on the linkage groups 9 and 12 are specific for QTLs of leaf-related traits in sunflower.

작물의 구조와 기능을 이해하려는 과학적 탐구심과 이를 작물 육종에 적용하려는 실험적 노력의 일환으로 다양한 작물에서 유전자 지도가 개발되었다. 특히, 배추과 작물의 경우 모델식물인 애기장대의 유전체 정보가 공개된 이후 다양한 정보 (염기서열 정보, 유전자 구조 및 기능정보 등)의 이용이 가능해져 유전자 지도 작성이 가속화 되었으며 이는 최근 $B.$ $rapa$ A genome (배추)유전체 해독이라는 결과를 가져왔다. 배추과 작물의 유전자 지도 작성에 있어서 초기에는 RFLP 마커들이 사용되었으나 이후 분자마커, 즉, RAPD, AFLP, SSR 등과 같이 비교적 사용이 간단하고 시간적 제약이 없는 PCR 마커의 형태로 점차 바뀌었다. 배추과 작물의 경제적, 학문적 가치가 고려되어 $B.$ $rapa$ (배추)를 표준재료로 A genome 유전체 염기서열 해독이라는 목표로 다국적 유전체 프로젝트가 결성되었고 2011년 국내연구진이 주도적으로 참여한 국제 컨소시엄 (BrGSPC, $B.$ $rapa$ Genome Sequencing Project Consortium)에 의해 배추 (10개 염색체)의 유전자 영역(gene space), 약 98% (83.8 Mb)의 염기서열이 해독되어 발표되었다. 유전체 해독 과정에서 축적된 염기서열 정보는 대량의 SSR, SNP, IBP 마커의 개발을 가능하게 하였고 이들 마커는 $B.$ $rapa$ A genome 유전자 지도와 물리 지도 작성에 이용되어 이후 배추과 작물연구 전반에 널리 적용되고 있다. 대량의 분자마커 개발은 유전자 지도 작성을 가속화하여 더욱 정밀한 유전자 지도를 가능하게 하였고 공통의 분자마커 정보는 애기장대와 배추과 작물 간 비교유전체 연구를 통해 농업적 우수 형질의 클로닝, 마커도움선발 (MAS)등의 방법으로 분자육종의 기반을 제공하고 있다. 뿐만 아니라. 최근 등장한 NGS 유전체 해독 기술로 생산된 대량의 정보는 분자육종 실현 가능성을 높여 분자육종 실용화에 박차를 가하는 계기가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 $B.$ $rapa$에서 분자마커를 이용한 유전자 지도 개발의 과정과 농업적 유용형질 탐색을 위한 양적 형질 유전자좌 (QTLs)의 연구 현황에 대하여 알아보고 유전체연구에서 유전자 지도의 중요성과 육종에의 응용에 대하여 서술하였다. 또한 다양한 유전체 정보와 오믹스 정보를 국내 배추과 분자육종에 효율적으로 활용하여 분자육종 실용화를 가능하게 하기 위해 사용자가 쉽게 사용할 수 있는 데이터베이스를 구축함으로서 연구자와 육종가 간의 간격을 좁히고 원활한 정보교환의 필요성을 제기하였다.
