The complete chloroplast genome of Zoysia macrostachya Franch. & Sav. isolated in Korea is 135,902 bp long (GC ratio is 38.4%) and has four subregions; 81,546 bp of large single-copy (36.3%) and 12,586 bp of small single-copy (32.7%) regions are separated by 20,885 bp of inverted repeat (44.1%) regions, including 130 genes (83 protein-coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 39 tRNAs). Thirty-nine single nucleotide polymorphisms and 11 insertions and deletion (INDEL) regions were identified from two Z. macrostachya chloroplast genomes, the smallest among other Zoysia species. Phylogenetic trees show that two Z. macrostachya chloroplast genomes are clustered into a single clade. However, we found some incongruency with regard to the phylogenetic position of the Z. macrostachya clade. Our chloroplast genome provides insights into intraspecific variations and species delimitation issues pertaining to the Zoysia species.

Campsis grandiflora (Thunb.) K. Schum is an ornamental species with various useful biological effects. The chloroplast genome of C. grandiflora isolated in Korea is 154,293 bp long (GC ratio: 38.1%) and has four subregions: 84,121 bp of large single-copy (36.2%) and 18,521 bp of small single-copy (30.0%) regions are separated by 24,332 bp of inverted repeat (42.9%) regions including 132 genes (87 protein-coding genes, eight rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs). One single-nucleotide polymorphism and five insertion and deletion (INDEL) regions (40-bp in total) were identified, indicating a low level of intraspecific variation in the chloroplast genome. All five INDEL regions were linked to the repetitive sequences. Seventy-two normal simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and 47 extended SSRs were identified to develop molecular markers. The phylogenetic trees of 29 representative Bignoniaceae chloroplast genomes indicate that the tribe-level phylogenic relationship is congruent with the findings of previous studies.

Five edible mountain vegetables(Saussurea sp. Aster tataricus, A. scaber. Synurus deltoides, Ligularia fischeri) were investigated on the basis of amplified DNA polymorphisms resulted from PCR (polymerase chain reaction) analysis. The sampled plants consisted of 38 individuals in 5 taxa. Only 10 primers out of 62 primers (60 random [10-mer] primers, two 15-mer [M13 core sequence, and (GGAT) sequence]) tested gave rise to polymorphisms in all of the tested plants, producing 176 DAN fragments amplified. Intraspecific polymorphisms found in each taxa showed intraspecies constancy (31.1-61.1%) in the banding patterns of individual plants: Saussurea sp. 31.1%, 15 bands, Aster tataricus, 40.9%, 18 bands, A. scaber. 38.5%, 15 bands. Synurus deltoides, 34.7%, 17 bands, and Ligularia fischeri, 61.1%, 22 brands, respectively. All five species were well classified from each other at the 0.93 level of similarity index value. Intraspecific and interspecific variations were appeared at the levels ranging from 0.62 to 0.99. Based on these results, our PCR analyses support the previous data derived from external morphology of the 5 edible mountain vegetables, but very low levels o intraspecific variations were detected in all of these taxa.

This study deals with the characterization of three populations (two hatchery and one natural) of Indian major carps Catla catla and Labeo rohita from different locations in India. The genetics of Indian major carps has been completely obscure and this is the first report on comparative allozyme variations in natural and hatchery population. The total 10 biochemical genetic markers used to measure interspecific and intraspecific level of diversity. The allele frequency data indicate different level of genetic variability in three populations. The hatchery population exhibited least polymorphism, low level of heterozygosity and genetic diversity.

We performed RAPD analysis to investigate the inter-/intraspecific relationships and regional variations of Phragmites japonica and P. communis according to the environmental change. One hundred and fourty nine genetic effective polymorphic bands between 300 bp and 1,900 bp were marked from RAPD PCR with nine oligoprimers. From the RAPD analysis by Nei-Li's genetic distance, the dissimilarity indices among the populations of Phragmites japonica were relatively low from 0.012 to 0.061, and Phragmites communis were also low from 0.033 to 0.095. It showed the close genetic relationships among the same species populations, and both species were distinctly independent with relatively high level of dissimilarity indices (0.043 - 0.132). The obvious genetic markers to distinguish two species were confirmed and those profiles were suggested. From the UPGMA phenogram by RAPD analysis, both species showed the water environment related cluster patterns by distributional regions. RAPD analysis was useful to delimit two species taxonomically and to investigate the genetic relationships among inter-/intraspecific populations.
