In the present paper, morphological characteristic and PCR analysis were carried not to identify the medicinal origins of Peucedanum decursivum and Anthriscus sylvestris. Some samples in Korean. markets were Peucedanum decursivum misused with rhizomes of Anthriscus sylvestris. The main. origin of Peucedanum decursivum producted was quite different from those of Anthriscus sylvestris in the morphological characteristics. And PCR analysis, the three primer has developed into anew tool for identification of Peucedanum decursivum and Anthriscus sylvestris.

A new method was developed for the rapid analysis of diverse bacterial species in the natural environment. Our method is based on PCR-single-strands-conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and selective isolation technique of single-stranded DNA. Variable V3 fragments of 16S rDNA were amplified by PCR with bacterial 16S rDNA primers, where one of the primers was biotinylated at the 5'-end. The biotinylated strands of the PCR products were selectively isolated by using streptavidin paramagnetic particles and a magnetic stand, to prevent SSCP analysis producing heteroduplexes from heterogeneous DNA samples. The selected strands were separated by electrophoresis on a polyacrylamide gel, and detected by silver staining. Analysis of PCR products from 8 bacterial strains demonstrated their characteristic DNA band patterns. In addition, changes in the structure of the bacterial community and species diversity in the microcosm treated with phenol could be monitored. After 3 weeks of incubation, phenol and its intermediate, 2-hydroxy-muconic-semialdehyde, were degraded by indigenous bacteria. These dominating bacterial populations were identified as strong bands on an SSCP gel. Therefore, this study provides useful tools for microbial community analysis of natural habitats.

Based upon the nucleotide sequence of As strain of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV-As0 RNA4, coat protein (CP) gene was selected for the design of oligonucleotide primers of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection and identification of the virus. Reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed with a set of 18-mer CMV CP-specific primers to amplify a 671 bp fragment from crude nucleic acid extracts of virus-infected leaf tissues as well as purified viral RNAs. The minimum concentrations of template viral RNA and crude nucleic acids from infected tobacco tissue required to detect the virus were 1.0 fg and 1:65,536 (w/v), respectively. No PCR product was obtained when potato virus Y-VN RNA or extracts of healthy plants were used as templates in RT-PCR using the same primers. The RT-PCR detected CMV-Y strain as well as CMV-As strain. Restriction analysis of the two individual PCR amplified DNA fragments from CMV-As and CMV-Y strains showed distinct polymorphic patterns. PCR product from CMV-As has a single recognition site for EcoRI and EcoRV, respectively, and the product from CMV-Y has no site for EcoRI or EcoRV but only one site for HindIII. The RT-PCR was able to detect the virus in the tissues of infected pepper, tomato and Chinese cabbage plants.

목 적 : 취약 X 증후군(fragile X syndrome)은 FMR1 유전자의 5' 비해독부위에 있는 CGG 3염기 반복의 확장에 의해 발생되는 유전성 질환이다. 방 법 : 본 연구에서는 임상 소견과 핵형분석에서 취약 X 증후군으로 진단 받은 여아 환자와 그 부모를 대상으로 Abbott Molecular Fragile X PCR Kit를 이용하여 CGG 3염기 영역을 PCR로 증폭하여 normal, premutation, full mutation의 CGG 반복의 유형을 확인하였으며, premutation과 normal allele의 경우에는 정확한 CGG 반복수를 분석하였다. 결 과 : 환자는 30회와 >200회의 CGG 3염기가 반복된 FMR1 대립유전자를 갖고 있는 것으로 확인되어 취약 X 증후군으로 진단되었다. 또한 환자의 어머니에서 30과 98회의 반복 allele을 확인함으로써, 이 환자의 full mutation allele은 모계의 premutation allele로부터 유래한 것임을 알 수 있었다. 결 론 : Abbott Molecular Fragile X PCR Kit를 사용한 진단방법은, 취약 X 증후군환자의 경우에서 통상적으로 시행되고 있는 PCR, MS-PCR, Southern blotting을 병행하는 방법에 비해 신속하고 정확한 분자유전학적 진단이 가능한 유용한 방법이라 생각된다.

The efficiency of transgenic livestock production could be improved by early screening of transgene-integration and sexing of embryos at preimplantational stages before trasferring them into recipients. We examined the effciency of multiplex PCR analysis for the simultaneous confirmation of the trasgene and sex during the preimplantational development of bovine embryos and the possibility of green fluorescent protein(GFP) gene as a non-invasive marker for the early screening of transgenic embryos. The GFP gene was microinjected into the male pronuclei of bovine zygotes produced in vitro. The injected zygotes were co-cultured in TCM-199 containing 10% FCS with boving oviductal epithelial cells in a 5% CO2 incubator. Seventeen(13.0%) out of 136 gene-injected bovine zygotes developed by multiplex PCR analysis and the expression of GFP was detected by observing green fluorescence in embryos under a fluorescent microscope. Eight(67%) of 12 embryos at 2-cell to blastocyst stage were positive in the PCR analysis, but only two(11.8%) of 17 blastocysts expressed the GFP gene. Their sex was determined as 7 female and 5 male embryos by the PCR analysis. The results indicate that the screening of GFP gene and sex in bovine embryos by PCR analysis and fluorescence detection could be a promisible method for the preselection of transgenic embryos.

Near infrared(NIR) spectral data have been used for the noninvasive analysis of various biological samples. Nonetheless, absorption bands of NIR region are overlapped extensively. It is very difficult to select the proper wavelengths of spectral data, which give the best PCR(principal component regression) models for the analysis of constituents of biological samples. The NIR data were used after polynomial smoothing and differentiation of 1st order, using Savitzky-Golay filters. To find the best PCR models, all-possible combinations of available principal components from the given NIR spectral data were derived by in-house programs written in MATLAB codes. All of the extensively generated PCR models were compared in terms of SEC(standard error of calibration), $R^2$, SEP(standard error of prediction) and SECP(standard error of calibration and prediction) to find the best combination of principal components of the initial PCR models. The initial PCR models were found by SEC or Malinowski's indicator function and a priori selection of spectral points were examined in terms of correlation coefficients between NIR data at each wavelength and corresponding concentrations. For the test of the developed program, aqueous solutions of BSA(bovine serum albumin) and glucose were prepared and analyzed. As a result, the best PCR models were found using a priori selection of spectral points and the final model selection by SEP or SECP.

여윔증상이 나타난 양식장(farm-B 및 farm-C)의 넙치 및 여윔증상이 나타나지 않은 양식장(farm-A) 넙치의 각 내부 장기(신장, 장, 비장, 뇌 및 간)를 대상으로 점액포자충 Parvicapsula sp.의 양적 분석을 real-time PCR 방법을 사용하여 각각 실시하였다. 여윔증상을 보였던 farm-C의 넙치 신장에서 가장 높은 DNA copy number ($1.7{\times}10^7copies/mg$ tissue)를 보였고, farm-B의 넙치에서는 모든 내부 장기에서 낮은 수치가 나타났으며, farm-A의 넙치에서는 모든 내부 장기에서 음성 결과를 나타내었다. 동일한 시료를 사용한 PCR 및 병리조직학적 분석에서도 real-time PCR에서의 결과와 같은 양상을 보였다.

The development and commercialization of industrial genetically modified (GM) organisms is actively progressing worldwide, highlighting an increased need for improved safety management protocols. We sought to establish an environmental monitoring method, using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and propidium monoazide (PMA) treatment to develop a quantitative detection protocol for living GM microorganisms. We developed a duplex TaqMan quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay to simultaneously detect the selectable antibiotic gene, ampicillin (AmpR), and the single-copy Escherichia coli taxon-specific gene, D-1-deoxyxylulose 5-phosphate synthase (dxs), using a direct cell suspension culture. We identified viable engineered E. coli cells by performing qPCR on PMA-treated cells. The theoretical cell density (true copy numbers) calculated from mean quantification cycle (Cq) values of PMA-qPCR showed a bias of 7.71% from the colony-forming unit (CFU), which was within ±25% of the acceptance criteria of the European Network of GMO Laboratories (ENGL). PMA-qPCR to detect AmpR and dxs was highly sensitive and was able to detect target genes from a 10,000-fold (10^-4) diluted cell suspension, with a limit of detection at 95% confidence (LOD_95%) of 134 viable E. coli cells. Compared to DNA-based qPCR methods, the cell suspension direct PMA-qPCR analysis provides reliable results and is a quick and accurate method to monitor living GM E. coli cells that can potentially be released into the environment.
