GDNA was isolated from the jedo venus clam (Protothaca jedoensis, Lischke) from Boryeong (jedo venus clam from Boryeong JVCB) and Wonsan (jedo venus clam from Wonsan; JVCW) located in the West Sea and the East Sea of Korean Peninsula, respectively and we performed clustering analyses, DNA polymorphisms and the populations genetic variations. In the present study, the seven decamer primer generated the one hundred and eleven major/minor specific bands in JVCB population and ninety four-specific bands in JVCW population. Seven primers generated the unique shared bands to each population of one hundred and seventy-six, on average of 25,1, in JVCB population from Boryeong and three hundred thirty, on average of 47,1, in JVCW population from Wonsan, respectively. The dendrogram obtained by the seven oligonucleotides primers, indicates two genetic clusters. Especially, two Protothaca between the individual WONSAN no. 12 and BORYEONG no. 10 showed the longest genetic distance (0.537) in comparison with other individuals used. Accordingly, RAPD analysis showed that the JVCB was a little more genetically diverse than the JVCW population. This result implies the genetic similarity owing to rearing in the same and/or similar circumstances or inbreeding within the JVCW population. So to speak, JVCB population may have high levels of genomic DNA variability owing to the introduction of the wild individuals from the other sites to sampling sites although it may be the geographically diverse distribution of this species. However, it was confirmed that it did not appear like that really in this study. We feel convinced that RAPD analysis discovered a significant genetic distance between two Protothaca population pairs (P<0.001). The existence of population discrimination and genetic diversity between two Protothaca populations was identified by RAPD analysis.

$Ca^{2+}$ and calmodulin (CaM), a key $Ca^{2+}$ sensor in all eukaryotes, have been implicated for defense responses of plants. Eukaryotic CaM contains four structurally and functionally similar $Ca^{2+}$ domains named I, II, III and IV. Each $Ca^{2+}$ binding loop consists of 12 amino acid residues with ligands arranged spatially to satisfy the octahedral symmetry of $Ca^{2+}$ binding. To investigate the altered gene expression and the role of CaM in ginseng plant defense system, cDNA clone containing a CaM gene, designated PgCaM was isolated and sequenced from Panax ginseng. PgCaM, which has open reading frame of 450 nucleotides predicted to encode a precursor protein of 150 amino acid residues. Its sequence shows high homologies with a number of other CaMs, with more similarity to CaM of Daucus carota (AAQ63461). The expression of PgCaM in different P. ginseng organs was analyzed using real time PCR. The results showed that PgCaM expressed at different levels in young leaves, shoots, and roots of 3-week-old P. ginseng. In addition, the expressions of PgCaM under different abiotic stresses were analyzed at different time intervals.

The gene encoding Thermus sp. T351 alkaline phosphatase (T351 APase) was cloned and sequenced. The gene consisted of 1,503 bp coding for a protein with 500 amino acid residues including a signal peptide. The deduced amino acid sequence of T351 APase showed relatively low similarity to other Thermus APases. The T351 APase gene was expressed under the control of the T7lac promoter on the expression vector pET-22b(+) in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The expressed enzyme was purified by heat treatment, and $UNO^{TM}$ Q and $HiTrap^{TM}$ Heparin HP column chromatographies. The purified enzyme exhibited high activity at extremely alkaline pHs, reaching a maximum at pH 12.0. The optimum temperature of the enzyme was $80^{\circ}C$, and the half-life at $85^{\circ}C$ was approximately 103 min. The enzyme activity was found to be dependent on metal ions: the addition of $Mg^{2+}$ and $CO^{2+}$ increased the activity, whereas EDTA inhibited it. With p-nitrophenyl phosphate as the substrate, T351 APase had a Michaelis constant ($K_{m}$) of $3.9{\times}10^{-5}M$. The enzyme catalyzed the hydrolysis of a wide variety of phosphorylated compounds.

Eleutherococcus senticosus (Siberian ginseng) is an important medicinal tree found in northeast Asia. In this study, we analyzed the genome-wide distribution of microsatellites in E. senticosus. By sequencing 711 clones from an SSR-enriched genomic DNA library, we obtained 12 polymorphic SSR markers, which also revealed successful amplicons in E. senticosus accessions. Using the developed SSR markers, we estimated genetic diversity and population structure among 131 E. senticosus accessions in Korea and China. The number of alleles ranged from 2 to 11, with an average of 7.4 alleles. The mean values of observed heterozygosity ($H_O$) and expected heterozygosity ($H_E$) were 0.59 and 0.56, respectively. The average polymorphism information content (PIC) was 0.51 in all 131 E. senticosus accessions. E. senticosus accessions in Korea and China showed a close genetic similarity. Significantly low pairwise genetic divergence was observed between the two regions, suggesting a relatively narrow level of genetic basis among E. senticosus accessions. Our results not only provide molecular tools for genetic studies in E. senticosus but are also helpful for conservation and E. senticosus breeding programs.

In this study, we investigated genetic diversity of 22 microsporidian isolates infecting tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta collected from various geographical forest locations in the state of Jharkhand, India, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based marker assay: random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). A type species, NIK-1s_mys was used as control for comparison. The shape of mature microsporidians was found to be oval to elongate, measuring 3.80 to $5.10{\mu}m$ in length and 2.56 to $3.30{\mu}m$ in width. Of the 20 RAPD primers screened, 16 primers generated reproducible profiles with 298 polymorphic fragments displaying high degree of polymorphism (97%). A total of 14 RAPD primers produced 45 unique putative genetic markers, which were used to differentiate the microsporidians. Calculation of genetic distance coefficients based on dice coefficient method and clustering with un-weighted pair group method using arithmetic average (UPGMA) analysis was conducted to unravel the genetic diversity of microsporidians infecting tasar silkworm. The similarity coefficients varied from 0.059 to 0.980. UPGMA analysis generated a dendrogram with four microsporidian groups, which appear to be different from each other as well as from NIK-1s_mys. Two-dimensional distribution based on Euclidean distance matrix also revealed considerable variability among different microsporidians identified from the tasar silkworms. Clustering of few microsporidian isolates was in accordance with the geographic origin. The results indicate that the RAPD profiles and specific/unique genetic markers can be used for differentiating as well as to identify different microsporidians with considerable accuracy.

보존중인 구름버섯속 균주를 선발하여 배양 및 형태적 특성을 조사하여 비슷한 균주별로 그룹화하여 rDNA의 ITS 영역을 증폭하여 염기서열을 결정한 결과 보존시 균주의 학명과 많은 차이를 보였으며, 균사의 모양 및 색깔에도 많은 차이를 보였다. rDNA의 ITS 영역의 염기서열을 바탕으로 보존 당시 동정된 결과와 염기서열 분석을 통한 결과를 비교한 결과 종이 다른 균주가 5균주와 학명이 다른 균주가 6균주로 전체의 61%를 차지하였다. 국내에서 수집한 구름버섯의 경우 T. versicolor, T. elegans, T. gibbosa 등 3개 속으로만 동정되었고, 미국에서 수집한 균주는 T. junipericola로 동정되었다. Trametes spp의 RAPD 분석을 통한 유전적인 다형성 조사에서 T. versicolor와 T. gibbosa는 아주 다른 밴드패턴을 보였다. 또한 같은 종내에서서 분포지역에 따라 상이한 밴드 패턴을 보였다. 유전적인 유연관계 분석에서는 T. vericolor 등 4개의 분류군으로 나누어졌으며, ITS부위 유전자수준의 상동성 비교에서도 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 따라서 기존 목록과 완전히 다른 속으로 동정된 균주들에 대해서는 계통분류학적인 유연관계 분석과 보존중인 자실체 유전자와의 상동성을 비교하여 보존진균의 오염 여부를 판단하여 기존 목록의 학명을 재분류해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

For the genetic differentiation of $Pseudomonas$ $syringae$ pathovar $tomato$, a total of 51 $P.$ $syringae$ pv. strains infecting 33 different host plants were analyzed using repetitive element PCR(REP-PCR) and universal rice primer PCR(URP-PCR). The entire DNA fingerprint profiles were analyzed using unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA). The 51 $P.$ $syringae$ pv. strains could be divided into five clusters based on 65% similarity by Rep-PCR using BOX, ERIC, and REP primers. $P.$ $syringae$ pv. $tomato$ cluster was well separated from other 31 $P.$ $syringae$ pathovars. $P.$ $syringae$ pv. $tomato$ cluster included only $P.$ $syringae$ pv. $maculicola$ and $P.$ $syringae$ pv. $tomato$. $P.$ $syringae$ pv. $tomato$ strains could be divided into two genetic groups. Meanwhile, the Pseudomonas pv. strains could be divided into four clusters based on 63% similarity by URP-PCR using 2F, 9F, and 17R primers. $P.$ $syringae$ pv. $tomato$ cluster was also well separated from 30 other $P.$ $syringae$ pathovars. In this case, $P.$ $syringae$ pv. $tomato$ cluster included $P.$ $syringae$ pv. $maculicola$, $P.$ $syringae$ pv. $berberidi$, and $P.$ $syringae$ pv. $tomato$. $P.$ $syringae$ pv. $tomato$ strains was also separated into two genetic groups by URP-PCR analysis. Overall, our work revealed that $P.$ $syringae$ pv. $tomato$ can be genetically differentiated from other $P.$ $syringae$ pathovars by the DNA fingerprint profiles of REP-PCR and URP-PCR. We first report that there are two genetically diverged groups in $P.$ $syringae$ pv. $tomato$ strains.
