An ozone-sensitive mutant of Escherichia coli strain B, MQ 1844 is described. Its properties, including high sensitivity to ozone and radiation, inducible filamentation, extensive DNA degradation and impaired DNA synthesis following ozonation, are attributable to a mutation in ozrB, a gene which is cotransducible with malB. Based on differences in phenotypic expression as well as on the particular location of this gene on the bacterial chromosome, ozrB appears as distinct from the other ozone-or radiation-sensitivity genes previously described.

A mutant Arabidopsis thaliana which is very sensitive to Ultraviolet-B(UV-B) radiation has been isolated by ethylmethane sulfonate(EMS) mutagenesis. Genetic cross proved the UV-sensitive gene(uvs) to segregate as a single Mendelian locus. For mapping of uvs, we crossed Arabidopsis thaliana Lansberg with uvs plant(Columbia), and made F2 plants by F1 selfcross. We designed 10 kinds of CAPS marker primers. Each primers amplifies a single mapped DNA sequence from uvs and Lansberg erecta ecotyres. Also identified was at least one restriction endonuclase for each of these PCR product that generates ecotype-specific digestion pattern. We got crossing over value of UB-sensitivity and each CAPS marker which located on different chromosome arm. The value of crossing over showed that uvs was linked to LFY3 which was on chromosome 5.

Anemarrhena asphodeloides, a medicinal plant, has chromosome number of 2n=2x=22. To characterize the somatic metaphase chromosomes, physical mapping of 45S and 5S rDNAs using McFISH (multi-color fluorescence in situ hybridization) was applied. Two pairs of 45S rDNA loci were detected on the terminal regions of the short arm of chromosomes 1 and 3. A pair of 5S rDNA signal was observed on the short arm of chromosome 3. 5S rDNA site seemed to be the same locus as one of the 45S rDNA site. McFISH was very useful tool for the localization and identification of rDNAs on the metaphase chromosomes in A. asphodeloides.

The purpose of this study was to detect QTL for carcass quality on bovine chromosome (BTA) 6 using a high density SNP map in a Hanwoo population. The data set comprised 45 sires and their 427 Hanwoo steers that were born between spring of 2005 and fall of 2007. The steers that were used for progeny testing in the Hanwoo Improvement Center in Seosan, Korea, were genotyped with the 2,535SNPs on BTA6 that were embedded in the Illumina bovine SNP 50K chip. Four different linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping models were applied to detect significant SNPs for carcass quality traits; the fixed model with a single marker, the random model with a single marker, the random model with haplotype effects using two adjacent markers, and the random model at hidden state. A total of twelve QTL were detected, for which four, one, three and four SNPs were detected on BTA6 under the respective models (p<0.001). Among the detected QTL, four, two, five and one QTL were associated with carcass weight, backfat thickness, longissimus dorsi muscle area, and marbling score, respectively (p<0.001). Our results suggest that the use of multiple LD mapping approaches may be beneficial in increasing power to detect QTL given a limited sample size and magnitude of QTL effect.

The objective of this study was to map the gene for reduced embryo size in rice using DNA markers. The reduced embryo size mutant was induced from N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) treated Taichung 65. Genetic analysis revealed that the phenotype of the reduced embryo was controlled by a single recessive gene, designated as re-1. For mapping the gene controlling embryo size, an $F_2$ population was developed from a cross between the Korean Tongil-type, Milyang 23 (Oryza sativa ssp. indica) and the mutant. The ratio of $F_2$ seeds nearly fitted to 3:1 ratio, indicating that this phenotype was controlled by a single recessive gene. Bulked sergeant analysis was performed with SSR markers. The gene for the reduced embryo size was detected on chromosome 1. The gene was further mapped between two SSR markers, RM315 and RM265 on chromosome 1 (approximately 1.5 Mb interval). The linked markers will facilitate selection of this grain character in a breeding program and provide the foundation for positional cloning of this gene.

The objective of this study was to identify the quantitative traits loci(QTL) for meat quality traits in pigs. Three-generation resource population was constructed from a cross between Korean native boars and Landrace sows. The resource population including founders, $F_1$ and $F_2$ was genotyped for 23 microsatellite markers on chromosome 7. The sex average total length of linkage map on chromosome 7 was estimated 154.6 cM. Meat quality traits including meat pH, meat color, drip loss, shear force, heating loss, crude fat, crude protein, crude ash and water content in muscle were collected from $F_2$ animals. For the QTL mapping, we used $F_2$ QTL Analysis Servlet of QTL express for web-based QTL mapping tools(http://qtl.cap.ed.ac.uk/). The QTLs for CIE-a and CIE-b on SSC7 were significantly detected at 1% and 5% chromosome-wide level, respectively.

The evolution of chromosome numbers and the karyotype structure is a prominent feature of plant genomes contributing to or at least accompanying plant diversification and eventually leading to speciation. Polyploidy, the multiplication of whole chromosome sets, is widespread and ploidy-level variation is frequent at all taxonomic levels, including species and populations, in angiosperms. Analyses of chromosome numbers and ploidy levels of 252 taxa of Korean non-commelinid monocots indicated that diploids (ca. 44%) and tetraploids (ca. 14%) prevail, with fewer triploids (ca. 6%), pentaploids (ca. 2%), and hexaploids (ca. 4%) being found. The range of genome sizes of the analyzed taxa (0.3-44.5 pg/1C) falls well within that reported in the Plant DNA C-values database (0.061-152.33 pg/1C). Analyses of karyotype features in angiosperm often involve, in addition to chromosome numbers and genome sizes, mapping of selected repetitive DNAs in chromosomes. All of these data when interpreted in a phylogenetic context allow for the addressing of evolutionary questions concerning the large-scale evolution of the genomes as well as the evolution of individual repeat types, especially ribosomal DNAs (5S and 35S rDNAs), and other tandem and dispersed repeats that can be identified in any plant genome at a relatively low cost using next-generation sequencing technologies. The present work investigates chromosome numbers (n or 2n), base chromosome numbers (x), ploidy levels, rDNA loci numbers, and genome size data to gain insight into the incidence, evolution and significance of polyploidy in Korean monocots.

To further investigate the regions on porcine chromosome 7 that are responsible for economically important traits, phenotypic data from a total of 287 F2 individuals were collected and analyzed from 1998 to 2000. All animals were genotyped for eight microsatellite loci spanning the length of chromosome 7. QTL analysis was performed using interval mapping under the line-cross model. A permutation test was used to establish significance levels associated with QTL effects. Observed QTL effects were (chromosomewide significance, position of maximum significance in centimorgans): Birth weight (<0.01, 3); Carcass length (<0.05, 80); Longissimus muscle area (<0.01, 69); Skin percentage (<0.01, 69); Bone percentage (<0.01, 74); Fat depths at shoulder (<0.05, 54);Mean fat depth (<0.05, 81); Moisture in m. Longissimus Dorsi (<0.05, 88). Additional evidence was also found which suggested QTL for dressing percentage and fat depths at buttock. This study offers confirmation of several QTL affecting growth and carcass traits on SSC7 and provides an important step in the search for the actual major genes involved in the traits of economic interest.
