The use of Korean native chicken is increasing, and the discovery of new genetic resources is very important from both economic and genetic conservation points of view. In this study, mtDNA D-loop sequences from 272 privately-owned Korean native chickens from a Hyunin farm were investigated. Seventeen nucleotide substitutions were identified from the sequence analysis and they were classified as 6 haplotypes. Previously investigated haplotypes in five Korean native chicken populations have been compared with the Hyunin chicken population. The results indicated that two haplotypes, H10 and H15, in the Hyunin chicken population were not previously identified in other Korean native chicken populations, representing 33.09% (90/272) and 1.1% (3/272) of the Hyunin population, respectively. On the other hand, four other haplotypes were identical to those of a previous study of Korean native chicken populations. This result is indicative of conservation strategies of Hyunin chicken populations for expanding the genetic diversity in the Korean native chicken population.

제주도 한라산에 자라는 한라송이풀은 고유종 Pedicularis hallaisanensis Hurusawa로 인식되고 있다. 한편 이 식물은 근연종인 P. amoena, 구름송이풀 또는 이삭송이풀과 형태적으로 유사하여 분류학적 처리가 혼동되어왔다. 본 연구는 이 식물의 분류학적 위치를 파악하기 위하여 한라송이풀과 근연종을 대상으로 외부형태 및 핵 리보소옴 DNA 염기서열을 조사하였다. 한라산의 이 식물은 꽃받침 열편, 화판 상순과 하순의 길이 비, 식물체의 선모 밀도, 개화기 근생엽의 유무 및 염기서열 자료에서 P. amoena 및 구름송이풀과는 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 하지만 한라송이풀은 외부형태 및 ITS 염기서열에서 동북아에 분포하는 이삭송이풀과 뚜렷이 구별되지 않았다. 본 연구의 형태 및 분자생물학적 자료는 한라송이풀이 이삭송이풀로 통합되는 것을 지지하였다.

To identify sand crab Ovalipes punctatus populations and establish management units for each population, mtDNA COI regions were analyzed. As a result, the clade of O. punctatus in Korea were separated by two with a genetic distance of 0.17-2.08%, and there was no significant difference in the result of pairwise FST values representing genetic differentiation by sampling areas (p > 0.05). Also, no geographical separation found in the distribution of haplotypes and the results of the haplotype network. This result suggests that O. punctatus larvae were dispersed for a long time by the ocean current by suffering meroplanktonic period for 1 month, and increased the gene flow due to the development of the swimming legs for the increase in mobility. Therefore, in the results of mtDNA COI region analysis of O. punctatus in the East Sea, Yellow Sea, South Sea and East China Sea (Ieodo) of Korea, no clear intra-species differentiation was found.

Genetic variation was surveyed at four microsatellite loci and 1416 base pairs (bp) of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome c oxidase I gene (COI) to clarify the genetic structure of the small yellow croaker, Larimichthys polyactis, in the Yellow and East China Seas, especially regarding four provisional populations, (one Korean and three Chinese populations). Based on microsatellite DNA variations, the estimated expected heterozygosity ($H_E$) in each population ranged from 0.776 to 0.947. The microsatellite pairwise $F_{ST}$ estimates showed no significant genetic differentiation between the populations. MtDNA variations also indicated no genetic structure in L. polyactis, but very high variability. The absence of genetic differentiation among and within populations of L. polyactis may either result from the random migration of the adult or the passive dispersal of the eggs and larvae.

The genetic diversity of Korean native chicken is important for conservation of native chicken breeds and developing economically valuable traits in Korea. In this review, various types of genetic markers using Korean native chickens were investigated, which are mtDNA variations, microsatellite markers, markers in Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). These genetic markers are suitable for breed discrimination and diversity studies because of their high polymorphism status. Thus, the purpose of this study was to summarize the genetic markers developed in the Korean native chickens and diversity studies using these breeds. Ultimately, these markers can be used for the future studies for understanding of genetic characteristics.

자성 및 웅성스테로이드 호르몬들이 Vg 유전자발현에 영향을 미치는지를 미성숙 무지개송어의 배양간세포 막간을 이용하여 조사하였다. 이미 보고된 송어의 Vg gene의 염기배열을 참고로 Vg cDNA 단편(600 bp)을 증폭시킬 수 있는 primer들을 작성하였다. 이들 primer를 이용하여 증폭된 PCR 산물의 염기배열을 결정하여 송어의 Vg cDNA임을 확인하였고, RT-PCR법을 이용하여 배양간세포 그리고 E$_2$ 및 MT 처리된 송어의 간으로부터 Vg mRNA의 전사량 변화를 조사하였다. 호르몬 처리된 간세포 및 송어의 간에서 추출한 total RNA를 이용하여 RT-PCR법으로 분석한 결과 in vivo, in vitro 실험 모두에서 E$_2$ 또는 MT처리된 간세포 및 송어의 간으로부터 Vg mRNA와 Vg 단백질합성이 유도되었고, 이들의 증가 경향은 처리된 호르몬 농도 및 시간에 의존하고 있음이 밝혀졌다. 또한 progesterone, androsterone 그리고 testosterone 등의 웅성호르몬들도 Vg mRNA의 전사를 유도하고 있다는 것이 시사되었다. 이와 같은 결과로부터E$_2$ 뿐 아니라 웅성스테로이드들도 Vg mRNA의 발현을 유도하고 있음이 송어의 in vivo 또는 in vitro 실험에 의해서 확인되었다.

Sequences of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome b gene (1,140 bp) and control region (803 bp) of Siberian flying squirrels from Korea (Pteromys volans aluco) and Mt. Changbai of northeast China (P. v. arsenjevi) were obtained to reexamine the taxonomic status of the Korean subspecies. In the cytochrome b gene, six haplotypes of P. v. aluco formed a clade with six haplotypes of P. v. arsenjevi, and in control region, seven haplotypes of P. v. aluco formed a clade with six haplotypes of P. v. arsenjevi. Furthermore, six haplotypes of cytochrome b gene of P. v. aluco from this study formed a clade with four haplotypes of P. v. arsenjevi in far-east Russia obtained from GenBank. We also investigated the research papers previously published that reported the length of tail vertebrae of P. volans, and found that the length was not sufficiently large as to be a key character of P. v. aluco. This result is not consistent with morphological description for its haplotype. Therefore, we conclude that P. v. aluco from Korea might possibly be a synonym of P. v. arsenjevi from northeast China and nearby Russia.

Fourteen different taxa of dictyostelid cellular slime molds were recovered from the alpine and subalpine zone in Mt. Paektu. In subalpine zone, six species were recovered : Dictyostelium minutum, D. brefeldianum, D. crassicaule, D. capitatum, Polysphondylium solitarium and P. pallidum. One of these species which were isolated from the soils of Larix olgensis community exhibited several distinctive features which differed from the published species. This species was designated as a new species, Polysphondylium solitarium Kang et Chang, sp. nov. When cultivated at 22~24$^{\circ}C$ on low-nutrient agar media with Escherichia coli, Polysphondylium solitarium is distinguishable from other species by the following combination of features: (ⅰ) the sorocarps with vinaceous pigmentation; (ⅱ) pseudoplasmodia radial. usually centralized and rarely subdivided; (ⅲ) the various number of whorls; (ⅳ) the spores with unconsolidated and nonconspicuous polar granules. Also, we confirmed this new species by analyzing ribosomal DNA (ITS1, ITS2 and 5.8s DNA) sequences of P. solitarium and P. violaceum.

도루묵은 우리나라 동해에서 어획되는 상업적으로 중요한 수산자원으로 동해안의 자원회복관리 대상어종이며, 자원량의 회복 및 보전과 관리가 필요한 어종이다. 하지만 우리나라 도루묵 자원의 관리를 위한 유전학적 분석에 따른 연구는 매우 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 mitochondrial DNA의 Cytochrome b (Cyt b) 유전자 서열과 5개의 microsatellite marker의 유전자형을 토대로 우리나라 동해안 도루묵과 일본 도루묵의 유전적 다양성과 집단 구조를 분석하여 유전학적 유연관계를 파악하고, 도루묵 자원의 보전과 관리를 위한 과학적 자료를 제공하기 위해 실시하였다. 한국 3개 지역(독도, 동해, 감포)과 일본의 2개 지역(북해도와 에리모)에서 채집된 총 83개 개체의 mtDNA Cyt b 영역을 분석하여 27개의 haplotype을 확인하였다. 유전적 다양성은 에리모에서 가장 높고 감포에서 가장 낮았다. Pairwise F_ST값과 유전적 거리, UPGMA와 주성분분석, AMOVA test 및 structure 분석 결과, 한국의 동해안 도루묵 집단 간 유전적 차이는 거의 없었으나 일본 도루묵 집단과는 유의적인 차이가 나타났으며(p<0.05), 한국의 동해안 집단과 일본의 집단으로 그룹을 형성하며 구분되는 유연관계를 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 확인된 도루묵의 유전적 특성 및 집단 간 유연관계는 중요한 수산유전자원으로서의 도루묵에 대한 중요한 과학적인 근거자료가 될 것이며, 앞으로 도루묵의 보존, 평가 및 이용에 활용 가능한 정보를 제공할 것이라 사료된다.

We investigated the biodiversity of endophytic fungi in Pinus densiflora and Junipreus rigida from Mt. Baekryeonsan and Mt. Johangsan in Korea. In total, 59 isolates were discovered from 26 host plants and identified using sequences from the rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. Twenty taxa of endophytic fungi were identified in this study; 62% of isolates belonged to Leotiomycetes, 34% belonged to Sordariomyetes, and 4% belonged to Agaricomycetes. Results confirmed three previously unreported endophytic fungi in Korea: Phanerochaete concrescens, Creosphaeria sassafras, and Scopuloides rimosa. Community analysis showed that the fungal diversity patterns of the samples from Mt Baekryeonsan and Mt. Johangsan are similar to those from previous studies and varied depending upon host and locality.
