Morphologically similar fish species were subjected to the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis using universal rice primer (URP). The fish species tested were sea basses (Lateolabrax japonicus and L. maculatus), eels (Anguilla japonica, A. bicolor bicolor, A. rostrata, and A. anguilla), and flounders (Limanda yokohamae and L. herzensteinin). Highly reproducible RAPD patterns were observed with several potential species-specific markers. The results indicate that RAPD technique using URP is useful for distinguishing fish psecies in a rapid manner.

Number of loci, allele frequencies, and subunit structures of 17 kinds of isozymes were analyzed in a laboratory strain of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hubner) to get genetic markers. These isozymes had 30 loci with 21 polymorphic (70.0% polymorphism); effective number of alleles per locus, average heterozygosity (H,), and inbreeding coefficient (F) were 2.52, 32.8%, and 2 1.0%, respectively.

Characterization of a single pass of cDNA sequence, an expressed sequence tag (EST) has been a fast growing activity in fish genomics. Despite its relatively short history, fish EST databases (dbESTs) have already begun to play a significant role in bridging the gaps in our knowledge on the gene expression in fish genome. This review provides a brief description of the technology for establishing fish dbESTs, its current status, and implication of the ESTs to aquaculture and fisheries science with particular emphasis on the discovery of novel genes for transgenic application, the use of polymorphic EST markers in genetic linkage mapping and the evaluation of signal-responsive gene expression.

Genetic variability and population structure of 11 natural ayu, Plecoglossus altivelis populations and one hatchery stock were assessed by starch gel electrophoretic analysis with 10 enzyme coding loci. Three loci were polymorphic (lower than 0.95 in major allele frequency) in natural populations,2 loci in hatchery stock. The average number of alleles per locus was 1.38. Observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.0235 to 0.088 (0.055 on the average) in natural population while 0.0925 in hatchery stock. The genetic distance among natural populations measured 0.000047-0.005407 and no significant differentiation was observed among them. On the other hand, a signifcant genetic distance was found between natural populations and the hatchery stock with measuring 0.002032-0.O08605. The results in this study suggest that the hatchery stock has diverged from natural populations, and also that careful to maintain sustainable and effective population size (parents number) should be made.

A horizontal starch gel electrophoresis for enzyme proteins extracted from three Korean species and one Chinese species of Semisulcospira was carried out in order to elucidate their genetic relationships. A total of 10 enzymes were employed in three different of buffer systems. Two loci from each enzyme of GAPDH, GOT, ICDH, IDH and PEP(VL); three loci from each of three enzymes, EST, PEP(LGG) and PGDH; and five loci from GPI were observed. Most of the loci in three pleurocerid species employed showed homozygous monomorphic banding patterns and some of them were specific as genetic markers between two different species. However, EST-2, PEP(LGG-3) and PGDH-1 loci in Korean S. libertina and PEP(LGG-3), PGM-1 and PGM-2 loci in Chinese S. libertina showed polymorphic banding patterns. Three Korean Semisulcospira species including S. libertina were more closely clustered in a dendrogram within the range of genetic identity values of 0.818-0.936, and these clusters were lineated with Chinese S. libertina at the value of 0.621.

배추무사마귀병 저항성 유전 양식을 증명하기 위해서 CR계 F1에서 유래된 F2 세대를 포장시험과 유묘 검정을 실시하였다. F$_2$ 세대의 7 집단은 단인자우성으로 3:1의 분리비를 보였고, 5 집단은 중복 유전자가 관여하는 9:7의 유전 분리비를 보였다. 배추무사마귀병 저항성 유전자와 연관된 DNA 마커를 개발하기 위하여 CR-Saerona F$_2$ 집단을 배추무사마귀병 발병포장에서 재배하여 저항성 평가를 하였다. 220개의 임의의 프라이머를 이용하여 BSA-RAPD (Bulked segregant analysis-Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA)를 수행하였지만 CR-Saerona F2 집단에서 배추무사마귀병 저항성 유전자와 꼭 들어맞는 DNA 마커는 발견되지 않았다. 300개의 임의의 프라이머를 이용하여 CR-Saerona에서 유래된 F$_2$ 세대를 QTL 분석하였다. 저항성 정도는 발병지수에 따라 조사되었고 QTL 분석을 위해 one-way ANOVA 테스트를 하였다. 통계분석 결과 두 프라이머(K16-1, L2-2)가 저항성과의 상관관계를 보여 주었으나 유의성은 인정되지 않았다.

The study aimed to establish an efficient tool for cultivar identification and characterization being the first steps of apple introduction and improvement program. We utilized a method to efficiently record DNA molecular fingerprints of plant individuals genotyped by RAPD, which could be used as efficient reference information for quick plant identification. Ten of sixty 11-mer primers were screened to identify the 68 apple genotypes which could be distinguished by a combination of several primers. All cultivars were easily identified by the corresponding primers marked on the cultivar identification diagram (CID). The results indicated that the CID strategy developed and employed in the apple cultivar identification could be vital in the utilization of DNA marker in other plants as well as the development of the apple industry.

Genomic DNA was isolated from the marine microalgae representing genetic characteristics and genomic polymorphisms by polymerase chain reaction amplification of DNA as arbitrary primers. The electrophoretc analysis of PCR-RAPD products showed hig levels of variation between different genus and little variation between different species. Outer of these primers, 6 generated 248 highly reproducible RAPD markers, producing almost seven polymorphic bands per primers. The degree of similarity frequency between Chaetoceros gracilis and Chaetoceros calcitrans species showed 90％ as calculated by sharing analysis. The RAPD polymorphism generated by this primer may be used as a genetic marker for genus or species identification in important marine microalgae. (omitted)

This study characterized the genetic variations of 13 populations of Asplenium antiquum and its relative species using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. A total 88 scorable RAPD bands were generated by the 12 random oligo primers and were analyzed by Nei and Li's genetic distance. High genetic variability was detected between A. antiquum and A. nidus, with the range from 0.568 to 0.682. And slightly low genetic variations showed within the populations of same species. Seven populations of A. antiquum showed slight differences (0.000-0.216), and five populations of A. nidus showed similar low genetic variations (0.114 to 0.171). Two individuals from Sup-seom Island which are growing in might be the regenerated one from abroad. A. antiquum were clustered as two groups (Group I, Group II) by UPGMA phenogram. And five populations of A. nidus were clustered as two groups correlated with geographical distribution. The RAPD data was very useful to define the genetic variations and to discuss the phylogenetic relationships among A. antiquum and the related species..

The genetic diversity among the genus Viola was evaluated using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method. A total of 142 distinct amplification fragments by 18 random primers were scored to perform the cluster analysis with UPGMA. Viola species from the subsection Patellares were clustered into group I to IV. The groups from I to IV were consistent with its morphological taxonomy, series Pinnatae, Chinensis, Variegatae, and Patellares in the subsection Patellares, respectively. Even though V. albida and V. albida var. takahasii were classified in Chinensis, they were assigned into group I. The cluster analysis separated other subsections from Patellares in the section Nomimium. Interestingly, V. verecunda and V. grypoceras in subsections Biobatae and Trigonocarpae, respectively, were clustered into group C with a high similarity coefficient. Therefore, RAPD analysis can be used for providing an alternative classification system to identify genotypes and morphological characters of Viola species.
