Inter-simple sequence repeat (I-SSR) markers were analyzed from diploid genomes of 95 nutmeg trees (Torreya nucifera Siev. et Zucc.) in 5 populations. A total of 62 I-SSR amplicons were observed and 7 of them were monomorphic in 95 individuals. DNA fingerprint of each tree was verified by pooling the observed I-SSR amplicons. Most of the genetic diversity was allocated within population (90.65%) and all the populations revealed similar level of I-SSR amplicon diversity within population. Degree of population differentiation (${\phi}_{ST}=9.35%$) was moderate on the basis of criteria obtained from isozyme analysis. Based on the results of the cluster analysis of UPGMA, genetic relationships among 5 populations were not coincided with the pattern of geographic distribution. Non-significant confidence interval at each node also suggests that all the nutmeg populations are genetically not much differentiated.

Garlic is a perennial herb primarily distributed throughout the world. These plants are regarded as a medically and agricultural important crop in the world. The genetic relationships between cultivated and wild species were investigated at the population levels by constructing tree based on ISSR (inter-simple sequence repeats) markers. In addition, ISSR analysis was also conducted to estimate genetic diversity and population structure of these species. Three wild garlic populations in Korea were found to have more alleles per locus (mean 1.672 vs. 1.510) higher percent polymorphic locus (67.2 vs. 51.0), and higher diversity (0.250 vs. 0.198) than three cultivated populations. The cultivated and wild species in Korea are well separated from each other at phylogenetic trees. Although there is not direct evidence that A. victorialis is an ancestor of Korean A. sativum, there is a possibility that cultivated A. sativum in Korea has evolved from wild A. victorialis in Korea. Populations of A. victorialis may be useful in germ-plasm classification and evolutionary process.

The polymorphism and the genetic relationships among 32 genetic resources of genus Nelumbo from Korea, Japan, China, USA, India, Thailand and Gabong were thoroughly investigated and extensively examined using ISSR markers. Out of 103 loci detected overall, 94 were identified to be polymorphic with a rate of 91.2%. The genetic similarity matrix revealed a wide range of variability among the 32 accessions, spanning from 0.227 to 0.833. The study findings indicate that the Nelumbo accessions have a high genetic diversity, and accordingly carry a germplasm qualifying as good genetic resources for cross breeding. According to the clustering analysis, different subspecies, N. nucifera and N. lutea, were divided into independent groups and all of the N. nucifera accessions could be classified into five categories. Compared to RAPD analysis, ISSR method showed a clearer picture of polymorphism among the accessions and exhibited a definite distinction even among the subspecies. In this respect, ISSR analysis is considered to be more effective in differentiating the accessions and subspecies of the genus Nelumbo than RAPD test.

지구온난화에 따라 농업부문 신재생에너지의 중요성이 증대되고 있으며, 화본과 식물은 바이오에너지작물의 중요한 소재를 제공하고 있다. 화본과 식물의 기내대량증식연구의 일환으로 홍띠식물의 기내 재생 식물체의 유전적 안정성에 대한 기초자료를 제공할 목적으로 기내배양으로 재분화시킨 홍띠(Imperata cylindrica 'Rubra') 재분화 식물체 중 녹색체 재생식물체를 대상으로 ISSR 표지를 사용하여 유전적 안정성을 조사하였다. 재분화식물체는 MS (Murashige and Skoog, 1962)배지에 생장조절제를 첨가한 배지에서 배양하였다. 생장점 부위를 적출하여 캘러스를 유도하고(0.1 mg/L 2,4-D와 2 mg/L BA), 캘러스 증식(0.1 mg/L 2,4-D와 0.05 mg/L BA), 신초 재분화( 0.01 mg/L NAA와 2 mg/L BA) 후 MS배지에서 식물체를 양성하고 순화시켰다. 배양은 26±2℃, 25 µmol/m²/s, 14h/10h (day/night) 광조건 하에서 실시하였다. 재분화식물체는 홍띠 및 녹색 재분화식물체 2 종류로 나타났는데, 이는 생장점에서는 홍띠가 분화되었음에도 불구하고 생장점 주변조직에서 유래한 녹새체가 분화된 후 우세하게 자라서 녹색재생체가 우점하는 것으로 추정된다. ISSR 분석은 대조구로 모식물체 홍띠를(8개체), 재분화식물체는 녹색체 중, 1년간 노지포장에서 재배중인 녹색체(10개체)와 실험실내 화분에서 재배중인 시료를(10개체) 사용하였다. ISSR 밴드패턴을 비교한 결과, 재분화체는 실내포트 재배식물체 10.3%, 노지1년 재배식물체 8.3%로 대조구의 4.1%보다 유전적 다형성 비율이 2배 이상 높게 나타났다. 또한 재분화식물체들의 유전적 유사도를 평가하고 군집분석을 실시하였다.

The spatial genetic structure of Needle fir(Abies holophylla Max.) seedlings on forest gap within a Needle fir forest at Mt. Odae in Korea was analyzed on the basis of ISSR(inter-simple sequence repeats) marker analysis. The gap size was $1,500m^2(50m{\times}30m)$, and we sampled 416 one- or two-year-old seedlings by 2m intervals. Some trees at the upper crown layer except Needle firs and all trees at the middle and lower crown layers were removed, and Needle firs at the upper crown layer showed very weak growth strength or to be withering to death. The results of spatial autocorrelation using 31 polymorphic ISSR markers revealed that it was genetically homogeneous within spatial distance of 15.6m and the randomness of genetic distribution was from 15.6m to 31.2m. The genetic patch size of seedlings in forest gap might be restricted by the density of mother trees, making allow for the average height of adult Needle firs, the seed dispersal area, and the average distance between adults. For the directionality of seedling distribution, we investigated the variography using 'genetic configuration' which was the value of configuration in Multidimensional Scaling by genetic distance. In directional variogram, the increment of spatial distance from East to West direction was inversely proportional to genetic homogeneity. We presumed that this anisotrophy of seedling distribution at this forest gap resulted from the directionality of seed dispersal rather than the difference of fecundity between mother trees or the microhabitat variation, taking the evenness of forest floor condition, a vast seed production and the random distribution of seedlings at the studied site into consideration.

The aim of this study was to described the genetic structure of Eleutherococcus senticosus in Korea. We investigated 10 patches, which are eight Korean patches and two foreign patches come from Russia and China growing at Korean habitat, using ISSR(inter-simple sequence repeats) markers. In ISSR PCR, the overall percentage of polymorphic ISSR amplicons was 76% and the mean number of amplicons per ISSR primer was 11.5, which were higher than the RAPD results for the some cultivars collected in Korea(Kim et al., 1998) ; 57% and 5.7, respectively. So ISSR markers provide more powerful tool than RAPD markers for the investigation of genetic variation in E. senticosus. There are relatively high genetic variation among patches as 62.8%, but low variation within eight Korean patches. Such pattern of genetic variation, which is not ordinary in other tree species, may be result from the narrow and limited habitats and the asexual reproduction of this species at the natural stands in Korea. Although the small sample size in this study seemed to be resulted in the high genetic variation among patches, the overall genetic interpretation of this study might not be much affected on the basis of the characteristics of the distribution and the reproduction system of E. senticosus. Analysis of genetic distance between all pairs of the patches did not reveal any trends with regard to geographic distance, which was confirmed by the results obtained from AMOVA(analysis of molecular variance) and PCA(principal component analysis). These results suggest that, in addition to the preservation of the natural stands, the conservation of larger number of patches with small number of individuals per patch is more effective for the ex situ conservation and for maintaining the genetic diversity of E. senticosus in Korea than smaller patches with large number of individuals.

Precise and fast identification of crop cultivars is essential for efficient breeding and plant breeders' rights. Traditional methods for identification of jujube cultivars are based on the evaluation of morphological characteristics. However, due to time constraints and environmental influences, it is difficult to distinguish cultivars using only morphological traits. In this study, we cloned fragments from improved inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) analysis, and developed stably diagnostic sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) markers. The specific ISSR bands of jujube cultivars from Dalizao and Boeundaechu were purified, cloned, and sequenced. As a result, four clones labeled 827Dalizao550, 827Boeun750, 846Boeun700, and 847Dalizao850 were identified. In order to investigate whether they were specific for the jujube cultivar, four pairs of SCAR primers were then designed and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifications were conducted to analyze 32 samples, including jujube and sour jujube. In the PCR amplification of the 827Dalizao550 SCAR marker, the specific bands with 550 bp were amplified in six samples (Dalizao, Sandonglizao, Dongzao, Yuanlin No. 2, Suanzao 2, Suanzao 4), but unexpected bands (490 bp) were amplified in the others. Moreover, in the PCR amplification of the 847Dalizao850 SCAR marker, the specific bands with 850 bp were found in three samples (Dalizao, Sandonglizao, and Dongzao) and 900 bp unexpected bands were amplified in five samples (Pozao, Suanzao 1, Suanzao 2, Suanzao 3, Suanzao 4). These results showed that newly developed markers could be useful as a fast and reliable tool to identify jujube cultivars. However, further identification of polymorphic information and the development of SCAR markers are required for the identification of more diverse cultivars.

Using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences and inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSRs) data, genetic diversity of a rare species, Hibiscus hamabo Siebold & Zucc. was examined for 3 populations in Jeju Island, Korea. A total of 14 nucleotide (excluding 3 ambiguous nucleotide) site variation in the ITS was observed from 18 individuals (Population 1, Hadori), which differed up to 13 bp in pair-wise comparison. On the contrary, the ITS sequences of all individuals in Populations 2 and 3 were identical. Genetic diversity estimates including Nei's gene diversity (h) generated by ISSR data were substantially high in Population 1 compared to other two populations. Low genetic variation in Populations 1 and 2 is considered due to genetic drift (bottleneck effect) and limited gene flow in these populations. Considering the differences in genetic diversity, protection of the Population 1(Hadori) is very critical for in situ conservation of Hibiscus hamabo in Korea. If ex situ conservation is required, making the full use of Population 1 will be most efficient.

In order to provide the molecular genetic information necessary for conservation of bog whortleberry (Vaccinium uliginosum L), one of the rare species in Korea, I-SSR analysis was performed on two populations on Mt. Halla and Mt. Seorak. A total of 68 I-SSR products were observed, and higher level of genetic diversity was observed in Mt. Halla population (S.I.=0.539) than in the Mt. Seorak population (S.I,=0.401). Level of genetic diversity in this species was relatively higher than those in other rare species analysed with I-SSR marker. From the results of AMOVA, exceptionally large proportion of genetic diversity (33.5%) was resulted from genetic difference between two populations, and only 66.5% of the genetic variation was allocated in common among individuals within each population, compared with the results in other long-lived woody species. This remarkably high degree of genetic heterogeneity existed between Mt. Halla and Mt. Seorak populations might suggest that they might be originated from the independent progenitors before the post glacier ages, respectively, and/or that they undergone random genetic drift respectively due to geographical isolation resulted from dramatic changes in environmental conditions after the post glacier ages.
