한국산 도룡농, Hvnobius leechii의 7개 집단에서 mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)의 변이가 조사되었다. MtDNA의 크기에서의 차이는 관찰되지 않았으나 제한효소 인식 부위에서의 차이가 조사되었다. MtDNA의 절편 양상은 각 집단에서 동일하게 나타났다. 제한 효소로 처리하여 얻어진 절편의 비교에서 종내 변이는 염기 치환에 의하여 발생한 것임이 분석되어졌다. 특히 하동과 제주 집단은 몇개의 제한 효소 인식 위치에서 나머지 5개 집단과 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 염기치환율(p값)은 공통 절편 비율(p값)을 토대로 하여 얻어졌으며 그 값은 0.004에서 0.064의 범위 내의 값으로 측정되었다. 하동과 제주 집단을 제외한 5개 집단의 비교에서는 비교적 낮은 침의 염기 치환율을 보였으나 제주와 나머지 집단들과의 비교에서는 염기치환율이 높게 측정되었다. 염기 치환율과 관련지어 염기 분화 연대를 측정한 결과 도룡뇽 7개 집단은 3개의 group으로 나뉘어 졌으며 이들은 약 188만년전에 분화된 것으로 사료되어 진다.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymorphism of the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) species complex sampled from the east coast of Korean was studied using a partial sequence of COIII gene (336 bp). Samples obtained from three localities on the east coast of Korea revealed four haplotypes with two clearly differentiated mitochondrial clades (termed clades B and E), separated by 4.2% of minimum sequence divergence. This pattern indicates no difference between east and south coasts of Korea. According to population genetic theory on evolutionary characteristics of mtDNA, we concluded that mtDNA introgression from M. edulis to M. gallprovincialis might be a source for mtDNA polymorphism found in mussels on the east coast of Korea.

Members of Allobathynella Morimoto and Miura, 1957 and Hangangbathynella Park and Cho, 2013 belong to the family Parabathynellidae Noodt, 1965 exclusively inhabit subterranean environments including caves, springs, and interstitial groundwater. Among them, two parabathynellid species, Allobathynella cheongdoensis Park and Cho, 2016 and Hangangbathynella taechooni Park and Cho, 2013, have been reported in the hyporheic zones of the Nakdonggang and Namhangang Rivers in South Korea, respectively. To evaluate gene markers as diagnostic characters, we determined mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) and nuclear 18S rDNA from the topotypes of two Korean parabathynellid species, and then analyzed the genetic divergence among the two parabathynellids and their congeners. Additionally, we provided their habitus photographs and a brief discussion of the usefulness of the two marker regions for both genera as DNA barcodes.

After a serial study on the therapeutic efficacy of the powdery silkworm for diabetics was positively resulted in, many powdery silkworm products were on the market in Korea. Up to now, however, no causal method is available to discriminate the strain of silkworms that is a major ingredient for manufacturing powdery silkworm, even though the quality of the powdery silkworm differs greatly by source and origin of strains. We previously were successful in identifying 25 silkworm strains kept in Korea using nine intronic sequences. In this study, we tested the utility of the nine intronic sequences to distinguish the most widely reared silkworm strains originated from Korea and China. Two intron regions, PTTH Intron3 and PTTH Intron3, showed a substantial sequence divergence (mean sequence divergence of 3.13% in PTTH Intron3 and 4.99% in PTTH Intron3). These two intronic sequences provided no identical sequences among the seven strains tested. Thus, these sequences each along can be used to discriminate the seven strains tested in this study. Furthermore, other intron regions, except for VDP Intron4 allowed us to discriminate $2{\sim}4$ strains by strain-specific unique insertion/deletion or substitution.

Oryzias latipes and Oryzias sinensis are indigenous species found in Japan, China, and other East Asian countries, including Korea. Based on morphological differences, the species have been classified distinctly. However, the range of morphological characters such as the number of gill rakers, vertebrae, and spots on the lateral body overlaps and is too vague for clear identification, so their classification based on their morphological characteristics remains uncertain. In this study, the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, which is used for DNA barcoding, was applied to clarify interspecific variation of O. latipes and O. sinensis. Intraspecific genetic diversity was calculated to identify correlations with geographic distributions. We studied two species collected from 55 locations in Korea. All individuals carried a 679-base pair gene without deletion or insertion. Between species, 525 base pairs of the gene were shared. The Kimura two parameter (K2P) distance of O. latipes and O. sinensis was 0.41% and 1.39%, respectively. Mean divergence within genera was 23.5%. Therefore, the species were clearly different. The distance between O. latipes and O. sinensis was 14.0%, which is the closest within genera. Interestingly O. latipes from the Japanese and Korean group represented 16.5% distant. These results were derived from geohistorical and anthropogenic environmental factors. The O. latipes haplotypes were joined in only one group, but O. sinensis was divided into two groups, one is found in the Han River and upper Geum River watershed; the other is found in the remaining South Korean watersheds. Further studies will address the causes for geographic speciation of O. sinensis haplotypes.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate musk deer in taxonomic status and genus species. We investigated the characteristic of musk deer for medicinal usages. Methods : To identifications of musk deer on the taxonomic status and genus species, the literary investigation were conducted on the Korean, China, and Japan pharmacopoeia and published herbal books, CITES Species Lists too. Results : Musk deer placement in a separate family status is the Moschidae. M. chrysogaster Hodgson and M. sifanicus Przewalski was the same species. So, Alpine musk deer revised M. chrysogaster Hodgson[=M. sifanicus Przewalski]. Geographic distribution of M. moschiferus L. divided Sibirica group and himalaica group. Group himalaica contains three subspecies: Korean musk deer(M. moschiferus parvipes Hol.), Chinese musk deer(M. chrysogaster Hodgson), and Himalayan musk deer(M. leucogaster Hodgson). The genetic divergence between M. moschiferus L. and other species was clearly distinguished from the others. M. berezovskii Flerove was less than the others. However, the divergence among M. chrysogaster Hodgson, M. fuscus Li, and M. leucogaster Hodgson were quite low. Musk deers are mostly distributed around the high-plateau. Moschus were from Nepal, Bhutan, Russia, China. Forest musk deer(M. berezovskii Flerove) farming was conducted in China from 1950s. In the Korean hebal pharmacopoeia, Moschus include l-muscone($C_{16}H_{30}O$ : 238.40) over 2% for quantitative test. Conclusions : There are three species of musk deer, Siberian musk deer(M. moschiferus L.), forest musk deer(M. berezovskii Flerove), and Alpine musk deer(M. chrysogaster Hodgson) for medicinal usages.

The teleosts represent ancient real-bony vertebrates in phylogeny and resemble major genetic patterns to higher vertebrates. In the present study, we have defined the single family of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) from flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), compared to the prototype of IGFs observed in the Agnathan hagfish. In flounder, IGFs are clearly diverged into two major types including type I and II, and they are structurally similar by displaying a multidomain structure consisting of five functional regions as previously found in other vertebrates. However, flIGF-I appears to be more basic (pI 8.03) than the flIGF-II (pI 5.34) in the fully processed form for the B to D domain region. The flIGF-I seems to contain an evolutionary conserved Asn-linked glycosylation in E domain, which is not found in flIGF­II. The most interesting feature is that flIGF-II appeared to be structurally close to hagfish IGF in secondary structures, particularly in Band D domains. This could tell us an idea on the molecular divergence of IGFs from the Agnatha to teleosts during the vertebrate phylogeny. It also support, in part, a notion regarding on how IGF-II is appeared as more embryonic during development. Nonetheless, the biologically active B to D domain region of flIGF-II shows significant sequence homology of $65.6\%$ to flIGF-Is and contains the evolutionary conserved insulin-family signature, as well as a reserved recognition site (Lys) in D domain, necessary to generate proteolytic cleavage for E-peptide. A significant structural difference was found in E domain in which flIGF-I possesses two potential alternative splicing donor site at $Val^{17,\;24}$ of E domain. Therefore, it seems so far that IGF-I sorely produces spliced variants due to the spliced E-peptide moiety while IGF-II appears to be maintained in a single type during evolution. IGF-II, however, may be also possible to transcribe unidentified variants, depending on the physiological conditions of tissues in vertebrates in vivo.

본 연구의 목적은 느타리버섯과 큰느타리버섯의 균사체 계대배양에 따른 유전적 변이 양상을 조사하고, 각각의 이핵체와 단핵체를 RAPD 방법으로 계대배양 횟수에 따른 변이를 조사하는 것이다. 또한, 유전적 변이와 생장력과의 관계를 추적하기 위하여 계대배양 횟수 및 종에 따른 생장력을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 균사생장력은 대체적으로 3회와 4회째 계대배양 때의 생장속도가 가장 빨랐으며, 5회째 이상부터는 감소하였다. 느타리버섯 이핵체는 가장 빠른 생장속도를 보였으며, 느타리버섯 단핵체와 큰느타리버섯 이핵체, 단핵체는 거의 비슷한 속도로 생장하였다. 또한, 느타리버섯의 이핵체와 큰느타리버섯 이핵체 간의 생장속도는 동일한 조건에서 약4배의 차이기 났다. 유사성 조사에서는 느타리버섯 이핵체는 57.5%, 단핵체 85.7%, 큰느타리버섯 이핵체는 71.8%, 단핵체 72.2% 이상의 유사성을 나타내었다. 균주의 변이는 생장속도와 균주의 type과 관계가 있는 것으로 생각된다. 생장속도가 빠른 균주가 느린 균주보다 변이가 많이 나타난다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 이핵균주보다는 단핵균주가 유전적으로 안전한 것으로 판단된다. 그러나, phylogenetic tree에서는 종, 균주 type, 균주 생장속도 및 계대배양 횟수와는 무관하게 branch가 분기되고, grouping 되었다. 결론적으로, 균사체의 많은 계대배양은 생장속도를 저하시키고, 유전적 변이를 야기시키는 요인으로 작용하며, 동일한 조건의 배양에서 이핵균주로 배양 보존하는 것보다는 단핵균주로 배양 보존하는 것이 종균제조와 육종에 유리한 것으로 사료된다.

한국산 돌나불과 바위솔속 식물의 동위효소 변이와 분류군의 실체를 알아보기 위해 5종 24 개 집단을 대상으로 전분전기영동을 실시하였다. 동위효소 분석 결과로 나타난 전형질도에 의하면 5종의 한국산 바위솔속 식물은 2개의 주요 군으로 나누어 졌다. 그리고 이들 두 군은 기존에 분자 형질과 형태 형질을 기초로 한 결과에서 바위솔속을 Appendiculatae아절과 Orostachys아절로 나누는 처리와 일치하였다. 한국산 바위솔속 종간의 낮은 유전적 동질성은 본 속의 종들이 지리적 종분화 과정을 통해 점진적으로 분화되었음을 시사한다. 유사한 생활사와 생식 양상을 갖고 있는 종들의 유전적 자료와 비교해 보면, 넓게 분포하는 바위솔이 좁게 분포하는 다른 종들에 비해 상대적으로 높은 유전자 변이를 나타내고 있으나, 바위솔속 식물들은 매우 낯은 유전적 변이를 보여주고 있으며, 이는 격리된 서식처, 집단 내 적은 수의 개체, 서식처의 파괴, 근친교배, 무성생식 등의 결과일 가능성이 크다. 정동진에서 채집된 둥근바위솔 집단(POP 21) 은 다른 둥근바위솔과는 유전적으로는 이질적인 균으로 기존의 화분학적, 형태학적 연구 결과와도 일치하고 있다. 본 동위효소 자료는 최근 신분류군으로 발표된 울릉연화바위솔과 진주바위송의 분류학적 처리를 지지하고 있다.
