In this study, a total of 25 lines consisting of five native ginseng collections from Poonggi area, five lines from Geumsam area and 15 varieties were analyzed and clustered for the selection of Poonggi native ginseng in Korea using DNA markers. The results indicated that the long cluster distance were observed between the collections of 331002, 331004, 331005, 331007 and 331026 from Poonggi area, and the collections of 332009, 332021, 332046, 332050 and 332066 from Geumsan area because of the sensible differences on the number of leaves per stem, stem color and petiole color. Thus, the collections from Poonggi area with specific characters consisting of one stem per plant, five leaves per stem and broad elliptic leaflet shape were finely classified using nine primers including OPD05, OPD20, OPG17, OPH05 and so on. In this study, the collection of 331007 from Poonggi area was considered as the respective collection with above characters. Thus, the nine primers such as OPD05 and so on, will be used to select the Poonggi ginseng in the future studies.

Oyster mushroom is a type of mushroom that is commonly cultivated and consumed in Korea. P. ostreatus 'Suhan' is a preferred cultivar for many mushroom farmers because it has a dark pileus and thick stipe. However, as it is very sensitive to environmental conditions, farmers consistently demand an alternative cultivar. To develop a new cultivar, the parental strains KMCC01680 ('Suhan') and KMCC00478 ('Gosol') were selected from various collected P. ostreatus strains by cultivating genetic resources. P. ostreatus 'Heuksol' was developed by the method of Mon-Mon crossing between monokaryotic strains derived from 'Suhan' and 'Gosol'. Thirty strains of 174 crossed strains were initially selected by cultivation experiments. After bulk cultivation tests, 'Heuksol' was selected. The nuclear DNA profile of 'Heuksol' was similar to those of the parental strains, 'Suhan' and 'Gosol', when RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) primers and UPF (Universal PCR Fingerprinting) 2, 3, and 4 were used. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth was $30^{\circ}C$ for 'Heuksol', but medium-high temperatures were also appropriate, especially $13-20^{\circ}C$. The fruiting body production per bottle (1,100 mL) was approximately 140.8 g. When compared to the control strain 'Suhan', the thickness of the stipe of 'Heuksol' was greater than that of 'Suhan' (13.5 mm vs 9.4 mm). The pileus diameter of 'Heuksol' was similar to that of 'Suhan' and the pileus thickness of 'Heuksol' and 'Suhan' was 19.7 mm and 21.8 mm, respectively. 'Heuksol' had more a productive stipe number than 'Suhan' and the pileus of 'Heuksol' was dark gray, even at high temperatures. Therefore, it was suggested that this new cultivar, 'Heuksol', could provide an alternative to 'Suhan' and contribute to the profit of oyster mushroom farms.
