  • 우리나라의 울릉도와 독도에 분포하는 한국특산종인 섬기린초는 해안암석지대를 터전으로 넓게 분포하여 울릉도 생태계의 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있다. 본 연구는 섬기린초에 대한 엽록체 DNA의 trnL/F intergenic spacer 염기서열을 총 32개체에 대하여 조사하였다. 그 결과, 정렬된 염기서열 중 하나의 6-bp indel (-ATTCAC-)에 의하여 두 개의 type (TYPE01: 297bp과 TYPE02: 291bp)을 확인하였다. 확인된 두 개의 엽록체 DNA type은 울릉도와 독도에서 뚜렷한 지리적 분포양상을 보여주었다. TYPE01은 울릉도(15개체)에서만 관찰되었고 TYPE02는 울릉도(12개체)와 독도(5개체)에서 확인되었다. 섬기린초는 하나의 6-bp indel에 의하여 서로 다른 두 개의 엽록체 DNA haplotype이 확인되고 뚜렷한 지리적 분포양상을 보여주기 때문에, 울릉도와 독도에 자생하는 개체군 내에 진화적으로 서로 다른 두 개의 계통이 있음을 추정할 수 있고 울릉도와 독도 간 원거리 분산 기작의 가능성을 지지하였다.

  • Beet curly top virus (BCTV) and Beet severe curly top virus (BSCTV), members of curtoviruses, encode seven open reading frames (ORFs) within a ~3 kb genome. One of these viral ORFs, C1, is known to play an important role in the early stage of viral infection in plants during initiation of viral DNA replication. We used promoter:: reporter (${\beta}$-glucuronidase) gene fusions in transgenic Arabidopsis to identify the putative promoter region of BCTV ORF C1. Unlike other geminiviruses, the intergenic region of BCTV was not sufficient to promote C1 expression in transgenic plants. When sequences extending into the coding region of C1 were tested, strong expression of the reporter protein was observed in vascular tissues of transgenic plants. This expression was not dependent on the presence of the intergenic regions or proximal 5' portions of the C1 coding region. Transgenic plants expressing a reporter gene under control of the putative complete C1 promoter were inoculated with virus to determine if any viral transcript affected C1 expression. Virus inoculated plants did not show any altered pattern or change in of reporter gene expression level. These results suggest that (1) important transcriptional activator elements for C1 expression reside in the 3' portion of C1 coding area itself, (2) C1 protein does not auto-regulate its own expression and (3) C1 expression of two curtoviruses is controlled differently compared to other geminiviruses.

  • Ten microsporidian isolates from Samia cynthia ricini, and Antheraea assamensis in India along with a Nosema reference strain (NIK-1s_mys) from B. mori India were characterised morphologically and molecular based tools. The test isolates observed elongated oval in shape while reference strain was oval and ranging from 3.80 to 4.90 m in length and 2.60 to 3.05 m in width. The ribosomal DNA region 'IGS' of test isolates assessed by PCR amplification, followed by cloning and sequencing. IGS sequence and phylogenetic analysis of test microsporidian isolates showed very close relationship with three Nosema references species: N. philosamia, N. antheraea isolated from Philosamia cynthia ricini and Antheraea perny in China respectively and N. disstriae from Malacosma disstriae in Canada. The clustering pattern of dendogram reveals all test isolates appear distinct from Nosema std. (NIK-1s_mys) India used as reference strain in the study. The result suggests IGS indeed a suitable and highly applicable molecular tool for identifying and characterise the microsporidian isolates in similar population.

  • This study examined the existence of genetically diverse population of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), known as quasispecies, from lily, Nicotiana benthamiana and from purified virions. Based on the conserved sequences of CMV lily isolates in intergenic region (IR) on RNA3, the genetic variation of IR from three different sources was investigated by a specific restriction endonuclease hydrolysis of amplified reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) products using virus-specific primers, and was compared with IR sequences. The IR nucleotide sequences of CMV lily isolates were highly conserved, however, quasispecies was detected from all three sources in low level, containing sub-populations of RNA3. These subpopulations of RNA3 were inoculated onto zucchini squash by in vitro transcripts from corresponding full-length cDNA clones together with Eny RNA1 and 2 transcripts. The systemic symptom of zucchini plants infected by these quasispecies was chlorotic spotting, which was milder than severe mosaic and stunt symptom caused by Eny-CMV. The severity of symptom was correlated with RNA accumulation of viruses. These results suggest that the genome of CMV lily isolates consists of quasispecies populations.

  • The intergenic spacer(IGS) sequence of Fusarium oxysporum have been reported to provide reliable information concerning intraspecific variation and phylogeny of fungal species. The eleven strains of Fusarium oxysporum and its formae speciales belonging to section Elegans were compared with sequencing analysis. The direct sequencing of partial IGS was carried out using PCR with primer NIGS1(5'-CTTCGCCTCGATTTCCCCAA-3')/NIGS2(5'-TCGTCGCCGACAGTTTTCTG-3') and internal primer NIGS3(5'-TCGAGGATCGATTCGAGG-3')/NIGS4(5'-CCTCGAATCGATCCTCGA-3'). A single PCR product was found for each strain. The PCR fragments were sequenced and revealed a few within species polymorphisms at the sequence level. The size of partial IGS sequencing of F. oxysporum was divided into three groups; $526{\sim}527$ bp including F. o. f. sp. chrysanthemi, cucumerinum, cyclaminis, lycopersici, and fragariae; $514{\sim}516$ bp including F. o. f. sp. lilii, conglutinans, and raphani; 435 bp for F. o. f. sp. cucumerinum from Korea. Sequence analysis of PCR products showed that transitions were more frequent than transversions as well as the average numbers of substitution per site were range 0.41% to 3.54%.

  • 부산의 가물치 양식장으로부터 분리된 A. veronii bv. sobria 와 A. caviae를 대상으 로 16S-23S rRNA Intergenic Spacer Region을 cloning 하여 염기서dufd을 분석하였다. A. veronii bv. sobria 는 4그룹의 band pattern이 형성되었고 A. caviae는 1그룹만이 존재하였 다. A. veronii bv. sobria 의 4그룹에 대한 band 수는 2~4개까지 다양하게 나타났으며. 479~481 bp (ISR-1), 513~524 bp (ISR-2), 537~539 bp (ISR-3) 의 염기서열을 밝혀냈다. A. caviae는 3개의 band가 형성되었고,470~480bp (ISR-1), 521~525bp (ISR-2),568~602 bp (ISR-4)의 염기서열을 가지고 있었다. 그리고 이들에 대한 tRNA를 분석한 결과 ISR-1은 tRNAIle(GAT), tRNAAla(TGC)를 가지고 있고 ISR-2,3,4는 tRNAGlu(TTC)를 가지고 있었 다. A. caviae는 ISR-4의 151~281 bp에서 A. veronii bv. sobria 가 가지고 있지 않은 보존 적인 염기서열을 가지고 있었다. 그 중 A. vaviae의 178~197 bp 염기서열을 primer로 design하여 PCR을 실시한 결과 A. caviae 균주에서만 종특이적으로 생성되는 450 bp 정도 의 밴들르 얻을수 있었다.

  • Single-copy chloroplast loci are used widely to infer phylogenetic relationship at different taxonomic levels among various groups of plants. To test the utility of chloroplast loci and to provide additional data applicable to hybrid evolution in Musa, we sequenced two introns, rpl16 and ndhA, and two intergenic spacers, psaA-ycf3 and petA-psbJ-psbL-psbF and combined these data. Using these four regions, Musa acuminata Cola(A)- and M. balbisiana Colla (B)-containing genomes were clearly distinguished. Some triploid interspecific hybrids contain A-type chloroplasts (the AAB/ABB) while others contain B-type chloroplasts (the BBA/BBB). The chloroplasts of all cultivars in 'Namwa' (BBA) group came from the same wild maternal origin, but the specific parents are still unrevealed. Though, average sequence divergences in each region were little (less than 2%), we propose that petA-psbJ intergenic spacer could be developed for diversity assessment within each genome. This segment contains three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and two indels which could distinguish diversity within A genome whereas this same region also contains one SNP and an indel which could categorize B genome. However, an inverted repeat region which could form hairpin structure was detected in this spacer and thus was omitted from the analyses due to their incongruence to other regions. Until thoroughly identified in other members of Musaceae and Zingiberales clade, utility of this inverted repeat as phylogenetic marker in these taxa are cautioned.
