The plastid genomes of several plants contain ndh genes homologues of genes encoding subunits of the mitochondrial complex I. We sequenced the part of lupin ndhB, ndhD and ndhF genes in order to compare the structure of these genes with those of Nicotiana tabaum, Arabidopsis thaliana, Zea mays and Oryza sativa with the idea to detect the presence of stretches with identical aminoacid composition. We were only able to find one or two stretches of this kind of about 16 aminoacid- long in the analyzed fragments of the ndh genes. The total number of such stretches was different in particular gene products: for ndhc 1, ndhB 9, ndhD 3 and ndhF 6. We have also examined the transcription pattern of ndhC, ndhK and ndhJ genes during lupin development. We show that the greatest amount of ndhC, ndhK and ndhJ transcripts are observed in 7- to 14 day- old lupin seedlings. We also studied the level of transcription of those genes in plants growing at low temperature. All the data confirmed that the abundance of transcription of ndhC, ndhK, and ndhJ genes increased under chill conditions. It has to be noted that the level of transcription of the ndhC gene was higher than the other genes probably due to higher stability of this transcript.

Recent molecular genetics studies have revealed that cyclic electron transport around photosystem I is essential for normal photosynthesis and growth of plants. Chloroplastic NAD(P)H dehydorgenase (NDH) complex, a homologue of the complex I in respiratory electron transport, is involved in one of two cyclic pathways. Recent studies on the function and structure of the NDH complex are reviewed.

Objectives : This study was conducted to identify the original Sinomini Caulis et Rhizoma plant among Stephania tetrandra, Cocculus trilobus, and Aristolochiae fangchi to develop the genetic marker for Sinomini Caulis et Rhizoma. Methods : Sinomenium acutum was identified by the classification and identification committee of the National Center for Standardization of Herbal Medicines. The chloroplast ndhF gene was amplified. We performed sequences alignment analysis of Sinomenium acutum, Stephania tetrandra, C. trilobus, and A. fangchi using BioEdit program. The SFR markers designed were consisted of SF01, SR04, and SR05 primers. Results : Many variations of Sinomeni Caulis et Rhizoma are currently commercialized as herbal medicine. We compared the base sequences of the ndhF intergenic space of chloroplast DNA with Sinomenium acutum, Stephania tetrandra, C. trilobus, and A. fangchi. According to the results, it showed that the nucleotide variations were seen in 30 genes of four species. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that 4 species were classified into five groups based on an inter-group divergence in nucleotide sequence of 9%. We developed SFR marker nucleotides enough to authenticate respective species and confirmed its application on the band size at 419 base pair. These sequence differences at corresponding positions were available genetic markers to identity the Sinomeni Caulis et Rhizoma. Conclusions : Base on these results, the ndhF region was effective in distinguishing Sinomini Caulis et Rhizoma The SFR genetic marker was useful for identifying Sinomini Caulis et Rhizoma with other species.

Objectives : This study was carried out to identify DNA markers of "Allium sativum" be circulated from Korea and China, which is difficult to discriminate from morphological characters because of fragmental materials of bulb. That is, all these studies focused on the discrimination of Allium sativum L. But these day, Chinese A. sativum was in circulated Korean A. sativum in Korean medicine markets. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to develop molecular markers for discrimination between Korean A. sativum and imports from China. Methods : Materials were collected randomly from a markets in Korea and China and be analyzed with matK, ndhF and trnL-F regions of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA). We collected 45 A. sativum individuals from Korean and Chinese medicine markets, in 2013. Results : As a results, matK and ndhF regions of cpDNA was shown to be identify, Species that grow from warm place and cold place can divide as five SNP (Single nucleotide polymorphisms) markers in matK and ndhF genes. Also, in trnL-F regions, found one SNP that can divide Korean A. sativum and Chinese A. sativum. Conclusions : From the analysis of matK and ndhF regions of cpDNA, we presumed that three markers of cpDNA were found by useful marker that can distinguish Korean, Chinese, Warm place type, and Cold place type. Individual differences of Korean and Chinese was thought that appear in geographical difference and genetic difference by environment for long hour even if same species.

Objectives Depletion of ovarian function after menopause in women induces estrogen deficiency leading to increased fat and decreased muscle mass. In this study, we examined the effect of herbal medicines by measuring hormone expression in muscle tissue of estrogen-deficient rats induced by ovariectomy. Methods Ovariectomy was performed to induce estrogen deficiency, and mice were given herbal prescription (HP) for 6 weeks. Estrogen-deficient rats were divided into two groups: one group (HPH) which were orally administered HP 200 mg/kg and the other group (HPL) administered HP 40 mg/kg. Weight changes in both groups were measured using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). After extraction of the femoral muscles in mice, the expression of the leptin, lipoprotein lipase (LPL), diacyl glycerol acyltransferase (DGAT)1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator (PGC)-1α, NADH dehydrogenase (NDH), farnesyl diphosphate farnesyltransferase (FDFT)1, lanosterol synthase (LSS), phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT), and peroxiredoxin (Prdx6) were measured using PCR. Results HP increased the expression of leptin, LPL, DGAT1, PGC-1α, NDH, FDFT1, LSS, PEMT, and Prdx6. HP affects body fat metabolism and is effective in improving menopausal obesity and obesity complications caused by estrogen deficiency. However, HP does not affect the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase, and thus will not be effective in obesity-related metabolic diseases. Conclusions HP is thought to inhibit weight gain by regulating hormone expression related to glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism in muscle tissue of estrogen-deficient rats.

제비꽃속 34분류군의 61개체를 대상으로 엽록체 DNA 게놈 특이 유전자의 특징을 알아보고자 하였다. 61개체의 엽록체 게놈 전체 길이는 155,535~158,940 bp 로 모두 전형적인 사분할 구조였다. 지역별로는 LSC 지역이 84,826~87,250 bp, SSC 지역이 16,338~18,654 bp, 그리고 IR 지역이 26,029~27,192 bp 였다. 유전자 개수는 131개로 84개 protein coding-gene, 37개 tRNA 유전자, 8개 rRNA유전자, 그리고 2개의 유사유전자인 𝜓rps19, 𝜓ycf1으로 구성되어 있었다. LSC/IRa 경계에 위치한 rps19 유전자 길이는 279 bp로 모든 분류군에서 동일하였으며, 𝜓rps19의 길이는 다양했으나 유전자 개수에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. SSC/IRb 경계에 위치한 ycf1 유전자 길이는 약 5,600 bp 였으나, V. japonica (MZ151699) 1개체에서는 다른 종에 비해 약 1,000 bp 위치에서 발생한 점돌연변이로 인해 종결 코돈이 나타나는 특징을 보였다. 한편 13분류군의 23개체에서는 𝜓ycf1의 길이가 650 bp 정도 짧은 것을 확인하였는데, 이 종류들은 원예종인 V. tricolor (ON262802) 이외에는 모두 줄기가 없는 분류군들로 IR 지역의 확장과 SSC 지역의 수축에 의한 것으로 판단된다. ndhF는 대체로 SSC 지역에 위치하나, V. inconspicua (MZ065354), V. mongolica (MW802534, ON548135), V. yunnanfuensis (MW802541) 등 4개체에서는 IRa/SSC 경계에 위치하면서 유사유전자가 발생하였고, 그 결과 다른 제비꽃 종류에 비해 유전자 개수가 132개로 차이를 보였다. 또한, V. collina (OP271831), V. mirabilis (MH256000), V. tricolor (ON262802) 등 3분류군에서는 SSC 지역이 inversion 되어 엽록체 이성질체가 존재함을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 제비 꽃속 엽록체 게놈 61개체의 ycf1, 𝜓ycf1, ndhF, 𝜓ndhF 등은 유전자 길이와 개수 등에 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, 제비꽃속에서도 엽록체 이성질체가 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다.
