In 2017, wilting symptom was observed on seedlings of Anthurium andraeranum in Youngin, Korea. Brownish lesions with water soaking were developed on the stems and roots of the infected plants. The stems and leaves wilted and finally died. One fungal isolate was obtained in pure culture. Morphological features and nucleotide sequences of internal transcribed spacer rDNA and cytochrome oxidase subunit II mt DNA were analyzed. The results of this study indicated that the fungus is identified as Phytopythium vexans. Pathogenicity tests showed the isolate was pathogenic to the seedlings of A. andraeanum. To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. vexans causing stem rot on A. andraeanum in Korea.

To determine the molecular phylogenie location of Plagiorchis muris, 28S D1 ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) were sequenced and compared with other trematodes in the family Plagiorchiidae. The 28S D1 tree of P. muris was found to be closely related to those of P. elegans and other Plagiorchis species. And, the mtCOI tree also showed that P. muris is in a separate clade with genus Glypthelmins. These results support a phylogenie relationship between members of the Plagiorchiidae, as suggested by morphologic features.

Oryzias latipes and Oryzias sinensis are indigenous species found in Japan, China, and other East Asian countries, including Korea. Based on morphological differences, the species have been classified distinctly. However, the range of morphological characters such as the number of gill rakers, vertebrae, and spots on the lateral body overlaps and is too vague for clear identification, so their classification based on their morphological characteristics remains uncertain. In this study, the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, which is used for DNA barcoding, was applied to clarify interspecific variation of O. latipes and O. sinensis. Intraspecific genetic diversity was calculated to identify correlations with geographic distributions. We studied two species collected from 55 locations in Korea. All individuals carried a 679-base pair gene without deletion or insertion. Between species, 525 base pairs of the gene were shared. The Kimura two parameter (K2P) distance of O. latipes and O. sinensis was 0.41% and 1.39%, respectively. Mean divergence within genera was 23.5%. Therefore, the species were clearly different. The distance between O. latipes and O. sinensis was 14.0%, which is the closest within genera. Interestingly O. latipes from the Japanese and Korean group represented 16.5% distant. These results were derived from geohistorical and anthropogenic environmental factors. The O. latipes haplotypes were joined in only one group, but O. sinensis was divided into two groups, one is found in the Han River and upper Geum River watershed; the other is found in the remaining South Korean watersheds. Further studies will address the causes for geographic speciation of O. sinensis haplotypes.

콩과(Fabaceae) 작물 해충인 팥나방(Matsumuraeses phaseoli)과 어리팥나방(M. falcana) (나비목: 잎말이나방과)은 형태적으로 매우 유사하여 종 구별이 힘든 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 PCR-SSP(PCR with Sequence Specific Primers) 방법으로 두 종을 빠르고 정확하게 구별할 수 있는 판별법을 찾고자 두 종의 미토콘드리아 시토크롬 옥시다제 I(mtCOI) DNA 부분영역(439 bp)의 염기서열을 해독하였다. 그리고 다른 나방 종의 mtCOI 염기서열과 함께 나열하여 비교한 후 팥나방과 어리팥나방에서 종 특이적으로 차이가 나는 단일 뉴클레오티드를 프라이머의 3' 말단으로 하는 염기서열 특이 프라이머 조합을 만들었다. PCR 산물들을 전기영동 한 결과, 어리팥나방은 245 bp, 팥나방은 409 bp와 245 bp의 특이적 밴드 패턴을 보여 두 종을 구별할 수 있었다.

Parasesarma bidens(De Haan, 1835) has been designated as a marine protected species by the Act on conservation and management of marine ecosystems. This crab has been recorded only from Jeju-do and Geomun-do, Republic of Korea. In this study, we describe for the first time the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I(COI) sequences of P. bidens. The intra-specific genetic distance among the Korean populations and between the Korean and Chinese populations ranged from 0% to 0.9% and 1.9% to 2.7%, respectively. The inter-specific genetic distances among the four Parasesarma species ranged from 10.9% to 12.8%. The finding of this study will be helpful to better describe P. bidens using COI DNA barcodes and can be used as basic data for their restoration and conservation research.

Although widely studied, the natural diversity of the hard tick is not well known. In this study, we collected 194 sequences from 67 species, covering 7 genera of hard tick. The 5' region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 region (586 bp) has been used to investigate intra- and inter-species variation and the phylogenetic tree of neighbor joining method has been used for assessment. As a result, by comparing the K2P-distance of intra- and interspecies, 30 samples (15.2%) shown that interspecies distance was larger than the minimum interspecfic distance. From the phylogenetic analysis, 86.8% (49) of the species were identified correctly at the genus level. On deeper analysis on these species suggested the possibility of presence cryptic species. Therefore, further work is required to delineate species boundaries and to develop a more complete understanding of hard tick diversity over larger scale.

Pseudohelice subquadrata (Dana, 1851) is endangered due to its restricted habitat; hence, it has been designated as a marine protected species and endangered species by law in Korea. It has been recorded only Jeju-do and Geomun-do, Republic of Korea. The present study, is the first report on a cytochrome c oxidase subunit I DNA barcode for P. subquadrata. The maximum intra-specific genetic distance among all P. subquadrata individuals was found to be 0.5%, whereas inter-genetic distance within the same genus was 17.2-21.5% compared with Helice tientsinensis (Rathbun, 1931), H. tridens (De Haan, 1835), H. epicure (Ng et al., 2018), and Helicana wuana (Rathbun, 1931). Our barcoding data can thus be used as reference for restoration and conservation studies on P. subquadrata, which are designated as marine protected species.

우리나라 동해안에 서식하는 새치성게(Strongylocentrotus intermedius)는 둥근성게과(Strongylocentrotidae)에 속하는 냉수성 해양 무척추동물이다. 둥근성게과에는 현재 9종의 성게가 속해 있으나, 아직 종간의 분류 기준, 계통 분류학적 유연관계, 진화과정 등이 잘 밝혀져 있지 않다. 본 연구는 유전자 염기서열이라는 분자형질을 이용하여 새치성게의 종 분류기준을 확립하고 이 종의 계통진화 및 분화 시기를 파악하고자 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 변화율이 빠르고 모계로만 유전되는 특성을 가진 미토콘드리아의 한 유전자인 cytochrome c oxidase subunit I(COI)을 분석하였다. 새치성게의 생식소에서 DNA를 추출하고 중합효소연쇄반응으로 COI 유전자 단편을 선택적으로 증폭하였으며, 클로닝과 시퀀싱 과정을 거쳐 COI 유전자의 단편 1077개 염기쌍 순서(염기서열)를 확정하였다. 이 염기서열과 유전자 데이터베이스(GenBank)에 들어있는 다른 성게 및 해삼, 불가사리의 유전자를 비교하고 그 분자 계통수를 작성함으로써 새치성게의 진화과정을 분석하였다. COI 유전자 계통수는 새치성게가 태평양 동쪽 연안에 서식하는 S. purpuratus와 계통적으로 자매군(sister species)의 관계에 있음을 보였다. 두 종의 분화 시기는 계통수 상 분지의 길이와 화석연대를 고려하여 산출했을 때 지구 온도의 변동이 심했던 약 890만년 전으로 추정되었다. 태평양의 동안과 서안으로 분리된 두 종의 현재 분포와 종분화 시기의 지구 환경조건은 두 종간의 분화가 환경변화에 따른 개체군의 지리적 분리(vicariance)에 의한 것임을 시사해 준다. 한편, 새치성게의 COI 유전자염기서열은 이 종을 대표하는 분자형질로서 둥근성게과의 성게들을 서로 구분할 수 있는 종분류의 기준이 될 것이다.

Two marine isopods, Pentias hayi Richardson, 1904 and P. thompsoni Collinge, 1916 were verified as unrecorded species in South Korea. The genus Pentias is reported for the first time in South Korea. These two isopods were collected from Heuksan-do Island and Ulleung-do Island from South Korea, respectively. We provide descriptions of the diagnostic characteristics, illustrations of two species and their partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) for molecular characteristics.
