Allium ulleungense (subg. Anguinum, Amaryllidaceae), from Ulleungdo Island, Korea, is described as a new species. It is clearly distinguished from its close relatives, A. microdictyon and A. ochotense, by its broader leaves and larger whitish perianth and by its diploid chromosome number, which is 2n = 2x = 16. The lengths of the chromosomes range from 11.3 to 15.75 ㎛. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using nuclear and chloroplast markers also clearly indicate that A. ulleungense is genetically distinct from other species of the subg. Anguinum.

White rot on garlic caused by Sclerotium cepivorum firstly occurred at Goheoung, Jeonnam in 1998. Thereafter, the disease rapidly spread throughout the country except Gangwon and became a major limiting factor for the cultivation of various Allium species such as garlic, onion, and welsh onion. The disease that has not been reported on a wild garlic(Allium monanthum) previously occurred severely at Seosan, Choongnam in 2003. Among cultivation areas in the region, 10.7％ were infected by the disease and the ratio of diseased plant reached up to 55.0％ in some heavily infected fields. Two species of Sclerotium were consistently isolated from infected samples and identified as S. cepivorum or another Sclerotium sp. Averaged size of sclerotium of the former was 455.0x562.2 urn, while the later was 374.4${\times}$347.2$\mu\textrm{m}$. Patogenicity to Allium species and mycological characteristics such as sclerotium size, growth temperature, and microconidia of the fungi were similar to those reported on other Allium species previously. Consequently, the wild garlic is a newly reported host of the two pathogenic fungi in Korea.

Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are widely distributed in the plant kingdom, but their functions remain elusive. The proteins AlLTP2-4 were isolated from three related Allium plants: garlic (A. sativum L.), Welsh onion (A. fistulosum L.), and Nanking shallot (A. ascalonicum L.). These novel proteins comprise a new class of LTPs associated with the Ace-AMP1 from onion (A. cepa L.). The AlLTP genes encode proteins harboring 132 common amino acids and also share a high level of sequence identity. Protein characteristics and phylogenetic analysis suggest that LTPs could be classified into five distinct groups. The AlLTPs were clustered into the most distantly related plant LTP subfamily and appeared to be restricted to the Allium species. In particular, the number of amino acids existing between the fourth and fifth Cys residue was suggested as a conserved motif facilitating the categorization of all the LTP-related proteins in the family. Unlike other LTPs, AlLTPs harboring both the putative C-terminal propeptide and N-terminal signal peptide were predicted to be localized to cytoplasmic vacuoles. When a chimeric GFP protein fused with both N-terminal and C-terminal AlLTP2 signal peptides was expressed in rice cells, the fluorescence signal was detected in the endomembrane compartments, thereby confirming that AlLTPs are an unprecedented intracellular type of LTP. Collectively, our present data demonstrate that AlLTPs are a novel type of LTP associated with the Allium species.

Several species and varieties of Allium spp. grown in Indonesia were screened for their in vitro antiplatelet aggregation activities. The extracts were also analyzed by GC for their volatile sulfur-containing compounds, and measured for their Volatile Reducing Substances (VRS) contents. Antiplatelet aggregation potencies of Allium spp. were varied among the species and varieties studied. Garlic extracts showed the greatest ability to inhibit platelet aggregation followed by extract of shallot, chive, yellow onion, and green onion. The 'Jawi' and 'local Padang' variety of garlic showed high activities with $IC_{50}$ values of 9.1 and $9.8\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. The local Kupang variety of shallot showed the highest antiplatelet activity among the shallot varieties evaluated, with an $IC_{50}$ value of $111\;{\mu}g/ml$. Antiplatelet aggregation activities of Allium extracts showed a positive correlation with the level of volatile compounds.

Allium ochotense and Allium microdictyon are commonly known as 'Mountain garlic' and are popular, economically important species in many countries such as Korea, China, and Mongolia. Their leaves are used as culinary side dishes and in traditional medicines. In Korea, these two species are at risk of extinction due to damage to their natural habitat and thus, conservation and breeding programs are needed. However, their identification relies mostly on morphological data, which is limited and until recently, led to classifying these two species under A. victorialis. In the present study, a simple and reliable method of molecular identification was developed to distinguish A. ochotense from A. microdictyon that targets four barcoding regions: the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), the maturase K gene (matK), the chloroplast psbA-trnH intergenic region, and the ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase large subunit gene (rbcL). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found in ITS and matK regions, and species-specific primers were designed based solely on the SNP at position 680 of the ITS region that could differentiate A. ochotense from A. microdictyon. Using these primers in amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS)-PCR, A. ochotense, and A. microdictyon could be simultaneously and efficiently distinguished. This study is the first to report a simple, rapid, and efficient method for discriminating A. ochotense and A. microdictyon, indicating the utility of species-specific markers in the development of conservation and breeding programs.

본 연구에서는 3T3-L1 지방전구세포를 이용하여 Allium속 식물의 하나인 두메부추(ASL) 메탄올 추출물의 ROS 생성 저해 및 지질축적 억제 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 먼저 ASL 메탄올 추출물 $100-2,000{\mu}g/mL$의 모든 농도에서 유의적인 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 나타내었으며, ASL 메탄올 추출물을 처리하였을 때 유의적인 세포 독성을 나타내지 않은 $10-100{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 실험을 진행하였다. 지방세포 내 ROS 관련 효소와 분화관련 전사인자의 조절로 인한 중성지방 축적 저해 활성을 확인하기 위하여 지방전구세포의 분화를 분화 유도하면서 추출물을 농도별(10, 50 및 $100{\mu}g/mL$)로 처리하였다. 그 결과, ASL 메탄올 추출물은 대조군에 비해 ROS 생성량과 ROS 관련 효소인 G6PDH mRNA 발현을 농도 의존적으로 감소시켰다. 또한 ASL 메탄올 추출물 처리로 인하여 지방세포 내 중성지방 축적이 유의적으로 감소되었으며, adipogenic transcription factor인 SREBP1c, $PPAR{\gamma}$ 및 $C/EBP{\alpha}$ mRNA 발현도 농도 의존적으로 억제되었다. 이상의 결과들로 볼 때, ASL 메탄올 추출물로 인한 ROS 생성 저해와 지질축적 억제는 ROS 생성 및 ROS 관련 유전자의 발현 감소로 인한 지방 생성 주요 전사인자의 유전자 발현 억제로 인한 것으로 보이며, ASL이 항비만에 우수한 효능을 가지는 기능성 식품 소재로서의 개발 가능성이 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Intraspecific genetic diversity of sixteen accessions of Mogolian Alliums including fifteen species was investigated using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Twenty three out of forty primers revealed scorable polymorphism. A total of 440 RAPD markers were generated on the 16 accessions of Mongolian Alliums. Among 440 RAPDs assayed, 439 were polymorphic with a mean polymorphic rate of 99.7%. Unweighted pair-group method using an arithmetic average (UPGMA) cluster analysis using RAPD data separated the 16 Allium accessions into two broad groups at similarity index 0.70. The clustering of the species was closely related with previous classification between A. altaicum and A. fistulosum. In addition, a high genetic similarity was showed between A. cepa and A. tagar.

The onion (Allium cepa L.) is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Allium, especially it has been valued because of the pungent flavor and aroma. Allium species including onion has very large genome sizes ranging from approximately 10 to 20 Gbp, which have complicated genomic studies and precluded genome sequencing until recently. A population of 186 F2 individuals derived from a cross of 'Umjinara' ${\times}$ 'Sinsunhwang' and the two parental lines were used for this study. For the development of framework map, various types of markers including SSRs, RAPD, SNPs, and CAPS makers have been used for polymorphism test. Especially, a lot of SNP and CAPS loci were developed from the onion transcriptome sequence by RNASEQ of two parental lines. The GBS libraries have been constructed based on a modified protocol from Poland Lab using a two-enzyme system. We have been developing markers showing polymorphism between two parental lines, and genotyping for all F2 individuals were finished for a number of polymorphic markers. For the construction of GBS libraries, a set of 192 barcoded adapters were generated from complementary oligonucleotides with XhoI overhang sequence and unique barcodes of length 4-8 bp and they have been tested using two parental linesto determine the optimum conditions for GBS analysis.
