Two BC1 group, c108 $\times$ (p50 $\times$ c108) and p50 $\times$ (p50 $\times$ c108), one group of F$_{2}$ progeny, (p50 $\times$ c108) F$_{2}$ ,and 3 SSR markers, F10539, FlO626 and FlO618 were used to test the hereditary properties of SSR markers in silkworm. FI0539, FlO626 were proved to be linkage, and FlO618 was proved to be independent to those two markers. According to Mendel's law, the recombinant value between F10539, FlO626 was calculated in all of these groups, and they were 8.55$\%$ (c108BC1), 8.02$\%$ (p50BC1) and 7.81 $\%$ (F$_{2}$) respectively. There was dominant difference among the crossing-over value using paired-samples tests by SPSS 10.0 software. This research proved that SSR markers were co-dominant in B. mori too, and F 2 progeny could be used to construct SSR linkage map although B. mori lacked of crossing over in females.

Constitutive heterochromatin의 염색체 다형현상에 대해 사람을 비롯하여 돼지, 생쥐, 말, 닭 등에서 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 일본산메추리의 C－band 다형체 뿐만 아니라 염색체의 형태적 다형체를 발견하여 이의 다형현상을 밝혔다. 일반적인 염색체 분석방법 및 C－banding 방법으로서 밝힌 3가지 염색체 다형체는 4번 염색체 ＋/－ 동형체, ＋/－ 이형체 및 －/－ 동형체이다. 이와 같은 다형체들은 무작위 집단 내에서 일반적이고 지속적으로 나타나며 Mendel 법칙에 따른 유전양상을 보인다. 따라서 본 연구에서 밝힌 염색체 다형체들은 여러 세포유전학적 연구에 표식인자(chromosome marker)로서 유용하게 이용되어질 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Inonotus obliquus is a fungus that causes white heart rot on several broad-leaved species. This fungus forms typical charcoal-black, sterile conks (chaga) or cinder conks on infected stems of the birche (Betula spp). The dark brown pulp of the sterile conk is formed by a pure mycelial mass of fungus. Chaga are a folk remedy in Russia, reflecting the circumboreal distribution of I. obliquus in boreal forest ecosystems on Betula spp. and in meridional mountain forests on beech (Fagus spp.) in Russia, Scandinavia, Central Europe, and Eastern Europe. Distribution at lower latitudes in Western and Southern Europe, Northern America, Asia, Japan, and Korea is rare. Infected trees grow for many years without several symptoms of decline. The infection can penetrate through stem injuries with exterior sterile conks developing later. In the Czech Republic, cinder conk is found on birches inhabiting peat bogs and in mountain areas with a colder and more humid climate, although it is widespread in other broad leaved species over the Czech Republic. The most common hosts are B. pendula, B. pubescens, B. carpatica, and F. sylvatica. Less frequent hosts include Acer campestre, Acer pseudoplatanus, Alnus glutinosa, Alnus incana, Fraxinus excelsior, Quercus cerris, Q. petraea, Q. robur, Q. delachampii, and Ulmus sp.

In this paper, The methodology of Type-2 fuzzy set-based Radial Basis Function Neural Network(T2RBFNN) is proposed for Sewage Treatment Process and the simulator is developed for application to the real-world sewage treatment plant by using the proposed model. The proposed model has robust characteristic than conventional RBFNN. architecture of network consist of three layers such as input layer, hidden layer and output layer of RBFNN, and Type-2 fuzzy set is applied to receptive field in contrast with conventional radial basis function. In addition, the connection weights of the proposed model are defined as linear polynomial function, and then are learned through Back-Propagation(BP). Type reduction is carried out by using Karnik and Mendel(KM) algorithm between hidden layer and output layer. Sewage treatment data obtained from real-world sewage treatment plant is employed to evaluate performance of the proposed model, and their results are analyzed as well as compared with those of conventional RBFNN.

본 연구에서는 1.7kb 및 3.1kb bovine $\beta$-casein promoter의 유전자 발현 조절능력을 알아보기 위해 1 7kb 및 3.1kb bovine $\beta$-casein promoter에 human Type II Collagen 유전자를 연결해서 DNA microinjection으로 형질전환생쥐를 생산하였다. 총 8마리의 founder생쥐(1.7kb collagen : 5마리, 3.1kb collagen 3마리)를 생산하였고 이 founder생쥐와 wild type 생쥐를 mating시켜서 $F_1 및 F_2$ 새끼를 얻었다. $F_1 및 F_2$새끼들에서 human Type II collagen 유전자의 transmission rate는 약 50%로 Mendel의 법칙에 따라 분리되어 안정적으로 유전자가 염색체에 정착되어 있음을 확인하였다. 이들 $F_1 및 F_2$새끼 중 암컷들을 임신시켜 분만 후 5-10 일경에 유선조직을 포함하여 여러 조직으로부터 RNA를 추출하여 Northern blotting 및 RT-PCR 방법을 이용하여 Type II collagen mRNA의 발현을 분석하였다. 유선에서의 발현은 1 7 kb 및 3.1 kb line별로 각각 1 line씩 발현되지 않았고, 그 외 line에서는 모두 발현되는 것으로 확인되었다. 유선에서의 Type II collagen mRNA 발형양은 1.7 kb 및 3.1 kb bovine $\beta$-casein promoter사이에서는 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았으나 1.7 kb promoter 형질전환생쥐의 경우 유선 이외 조직에서도 발현되는 양상을 나타내었고, 3.1kb promoter line에서는 유선특이적으로 발현시키는 양상을 나타내었다. 그러므로 bovine $\beta$-casein promoter의 1.7 kb와 3.1 kb 사이에 유선특이적 발현을 유도하는 조절부위가 있을 것으로 추정된다.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a major health problem worldwide and is one of the ten most commonly diagnosed cancers in Jordan. GC is usually diagnosed at late aggressive stages in which treatment options are limited. Recently, heat shock proteins (HSPs) were found to be overexpressed in a wide range of malignancies have been considered as promising candidate biomarkers for GC. The aim of this study was to investigate pathogenic roles of a panel of cytosolic HSPs including HSP90, HSP70, HSP60 and HSP27 in GC. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess the level of expression of these proteins in archived tumor samples (N=87) representing various pathological characteristics of GC. HSP90, HSP60 and HSP27 were expressed abundantly in gastric tumors. On the other hand, HSP70 was reduced significantly and also found to be associated with Helicobacter pylori infection in tissues collected from GC patients. Furthermore, HSP27 was found to be associated with the level of differentiation. Our findings indicate a role of HSP70 as a potential prognostic biomarker, patients harboring positive HSP70 expression displaying worse disease free survival than those with negative HSP70 expression. Differential expression of HSPs may play crucial roles in the initiation and progression of GC, and could be exploited as future therapeutic targets.

Lipoxygenase gives soybeans their grassy flavor, which can disrupt food processing efficiency. This study aimed to identify soybean genotypes with lipoxygenase deficiency among 1,001 soybean accessions and to develop kompetitive allele specific PCR (KASP) markers that can detect lipoxygenase mutations. Three lipoxygenase isozymes (Lox1, Lox2, and Lox3) were analyzed using a colorimetric assay based on a substrate-enzyme reaction. Among the 1,001 accessions examined, two (IT160160 and IT276392) exhibited a deficiency solely in Lox1, and one (IT269984) lacked both Lox1 and Lox2. IT160160 had a 74-bp deletion in exon 8 of Lox1 (Glyma13g347600), whereas IT276392 displayed a missense mutation involving the change of C to A at position 2,880 of Lox1. Moreover, we successfully developed four KASP markers that specifically target Lox1, Lox2, and Lox3 mutations. To validate the Lox1 KASP markers, we used two F_2:3 populations generated through a cross between Daepung 2 (lipoxygenase wild type, maternal parent), IT160160, and IT276392 (null Lox1, paternal parent). The results revealed that the Daepung 2 × IT160160 group followed the expected 3:1 ratio according to Mendel's law, whereas the Daepung 2 × IT276392 group did not. Furthermore, a comparison between the colorimetric and KASP marker analyses results revealed a high agreement rate of 96%. KASP markers offer a distinct advantage by allowing the distinction of heterozygous types independent of other variables. As a result, we present an opportunity to expedite the lipoxygenase-deficient cultivar development.

ACT 동위효소(同位酵素)는 최소한 3~4개의 지역(地域)으로 분리(分離)되었으나 분리가 잘된 ACP-A 지역(地域)의 동위효소(同位酵素)만이 분석(分析)되었다. ACP-A 지역(地域)에서 관찰된 5개(A1-A5)의 동위효소(同位酵素) 표현형(表現型)들은 공히 Mendel의 분리비(分離比)를 보여 이들이 각각 ACP-A 유전자좌(遺傳子座)에 존재(存在)하는 5개의 대립유전자(對立遺傳子)에 의해 지배받고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 2개의 ADH 지역(地域)이 (ADH-A와 ADH-B) 분리(分離)되었으나, 양극(陽極)으로의 이동(移動)속도가 빠른 ADH-A 지역(地域)에서는 분석(分析)에 사용된 재료(材料)에서 변이(變異)가 발견(發見)되지 않았다. ADH-B 지역(地域)에서는 3개의 동위효소(同位酵素) 표현형(表現型) (B1-B3)들이 관찰되었고 이들이 공히 1:1의 분리비를 보여 ADH-B 유전자좌(遺傳子座)에 존재하는 3개의 대립유전자(對立遺傳子)에 의해 지배됨이 추정되었다. 수개의 band로 구성된 5개의 동위효소(同位酵素) 표현형(表現型)이 CAT에서 관찰되었으며, 이형접합성(異型接合性)인 모수(母樹)에서 이들 표현형간(表現型間)의 분리(分離)가 1:1 분리비(分離比)로부터 편차(偏差)를 보이지 않았으므로, 소나무에 있어서 CAT 동위효소(同位酵素)는 5개의 대립유전자(對立遺傳子)가 존재(存在)하는 하나의 유전자좌(遺傳子座)에 의해 지배되는 것으로 추정하였다.

Plant genomes include heterochromatic loci that consist of repetitive sequences and transposable elements. LTR retrotransposon is the major class of transposons in advanced plants in terms of proportion in plant genome. The elements contribute not only to genome size but also to genome stability and gene expression. A number of cases have been reported transposon insertions near genic regions affect crop traits such as fruit pigments, stress tolerance, and yields. Functional LTR retrotransposons produce extrachromosomal DNA from genomic RNA by reverse transcription that takes place within virus-like-particles (VLPs). DECREASED DNA METHYLATION 1 (DDM1) plays important roles in maintaining DNA methylation of heterochromatin affecting all sequence contexts, CG, CHG, and CHH. Previous studies showed that ddm1 mutant exhibits massive transcription of retrotransposons in Arabidopsis, but only few of them were able to create new insertions into the genome. RNA-dependent RNA POLYMERASE 6 (RDR6) is known to function in restricting accumulation of transposon RNA by processing the transcripts into 21-22 nt epigenetically activated small interfering RNA (easiRNA). We purified VLPs and sequence cDNA to identify functional LTR retrotransposons in Arabidopsis ddm1 and ddm1rdr6 plants. Over 20 LTR copia and gypsy families were detected in ddm1 and ddm1rdr6 sequencing libraries and most of them were not reported for mobility. In ddm1rdr6, short fragments of ATHILA gypsy elements were detected. It suggests easiRNAs might regulate reverse transcription steps. The highest enriched element among transposon loci was previously characterized EVADE element. It has been reported that active EVADE element is more efficiently silenced through female germline than male germline. By genetic analyses, we found ddm1 and rdr6 mutation affect maternal silencing of active EVADE elements. DDM1-GFP protein accumulated in megaspore mother cell but was not found in mature egg cell. The fusion protein was also found in early embryo and maternal DDM1-GFP allele was more dominantly expressed in the embryo. We observed localization of DDM1-GFP in Arabidopsis and DDM1-YFP in maize and found the proteins accumulated in dividing zone of root tips. Currently we are looking at cell cycle dependency of DDM1 expression using maize system. Among 10 AGO proteins in Arabidopsis, AGO9 is specifically expressed in egg cell and shoot meristematic cells. In addition, mutation of AGO9 and RDR6 caused failure in maternal silencing, implying 21-22 nt easiRNA pathway is important for retrotransposon silencing in female gametophyte or/and early embryo. On the other hand, canonical 24 nt sRNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathways did not contribute to maternal silencing as confirmed by this study. Heat-activated LTR retrotransposon, ONSEN, was not silenced by DDM1 but the silencing mechanisms require RdDM pathways in somatic cells. We will propose distinct mechanisms of LTR retrotransposons in germline and somatic stages.
