The ornamental industry encompasses cut flower, pot plant, turfgrass and nursery stock production and is an important part of the agricultural sector. As internationally traded commodities, cut flowers and plants are an integral part of the economy of a number of developing countries in South America, the Caribbean and Africa. Genetic modification (GM) is a tool with great potential to the ornamental horticulture industry. The rapid progress in our knowledge of plant molecular biology can accelerate the breeding ornamental plants using recombinant DNA technology techniques. Not only is there the possibility of creating new, novel products the driver of the industry but also the potential to develop varieties requiring less chemical and energy inputs. As an important non-food agricultural sector the use of genetically modified (GM) ornamental crops may also be ideal for the intensive farming necessary to generate pharmaceuticals and other useful products in GM plants. To date, there are only a few ornamental GM products in development and only one, a carnation genetically modified for flower colour, in the marketplace. International Flower Developments, a joint venture between Florigene Ltd. in Australia and Suntory Ltd.of Japan, developed the GM carnations. These flowers are currently on sale in USA, Japan and Australia. The research, development and commercialisation of these products are summarised. The long term prospects for ornamental GM products, like food crops, will be determined by the regulatory environment, and the acceptance of GM products in the marketplace. These critical factors will be analysed in the context of the current legislative environment, and likely public and industry opinion towards ornamental genetically modified organisms (GMO's).

Objective: The objective is to identify genomic regions and candidate genes associated with age to 105 kg (AGE), average daily gain (ADG), backfat thickness (BF), and eye muscle area (EMA) in Yorkshire pig. Methods: This study used a total of 104,380 records and 11,854 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data obtained from Illumina porcine 60K chip. The estimated genomic breeding values (GEBVs) and SNP effects were estimated by single-step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (ssGBLUP). Results: The heritabilities of AGE, ADG, BF, and EMA were 0.50, 0.49, 0.49, and 0.23, respectively. We identified significant SNP markers surpassing the Bonferroni correction threshold (1.68×10^-6), with a total of 9 markers associated with both AGE and ADG, and 4 markers associated with BF and EMA. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) analyses revealed notable chromosomal regions linked to AGE and ADG on Sus scrofa chromosome (SSC) 1, 6, 8, and 16; BF on SSC 2, 5, and 8; and EMA on SSC 1. Additionally, we observed strong linkage disequilibrium on SSC 1. Finally, we performed enrichment analyses using gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG), which revealed significant enrichments in eight biological processes, one cellular component, one molecular function, and one KEGG pathway. Conclusion: The identified SNP markers for productive traits are expected to provide valuable information for genetic improvement as an understanding of their expression.

Selaginella austrotibetica, a new spikemoss species from China, is described. The species is epipetric and was found on a moss-covered rocky cliff by a riverbank. Morphologically, it is unlike any anisosporophyllous species in the genus Selaginella. However, it resembles species of the S. sanguinolenta group, especially similar to S. sajanensis in gross morphology, except for the characters of strobilus. The molecular phylogenetic analysis clearly showed that S. austrotibetica was nested within the anisosporophyllous species clade, forming a sister relationship with the clade of S. vaginata and S. xipholepis, and distinct from the S. sanguinolenta group, including S. sajanensis. Although S. austrotibetica is sister to the clade of S. vaginata and S. xipholepis, the species can be clearly distinguished by its sparse leaves on branches, dorsal leaves that are broad-ovate, base obtuse to rounded, margin denticulate or very shortly sparsely ciliolate, and leaves that are slightly thick and shiny. Therefore, we described Selaginella austrotibetica as a new species and discuss its phylogenetic relationships within the genus Selaginella.

TLRs are pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) whose cytoplasmic signalling domain is similar to that of IL-1. The extracellular domain of TLRs serve as the binding site of pathogen associated molecular patterns. TLRs are found on both plasma and endosomal membranes and they mainly exert their function by activating genes which lead to production of inflammatory factors. The latest TLR to be discovered, TLR10 is a unique TLR which exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. TLR10 is found on the plasma membrane with other TLRs namely TLR1, TLR2, TLR4, TLR5 and TLR6. Studies have revealed that TLR10 is found on the same gene cluster with TLR1 and TLR6 and is also a coreceptor of TLR2. Up to date, TLR10 is the only TLR which exhibit anti-inflammatory property. Previously, TLR10 was thought to be an "orphan receptor" but much recent studies have identified ligands for TLR10. Currently there is no review article on TLR10 that has been published. In this narrative review, we are going to give an account of TLR10, its functions mainly as an anti-inflammatory PRR and its possible applications as a target in therapeutics.

국내 멜론 및 박과채소 재배농가(안성, 이천, 영암, 창녕, 순천)에서 발병하고 있는 멜론 흰가루병균을 채집한 후 흰가루병균의 형태학적 특성을 이용한 종류 구분 및 멜론 race 판별계통을 이용한 국내에서 발병하고 있는 흰가루병균의 race를 확인하였다. 그 결과 국내 멜론 흰가루병균의 종류는 Podosphaera xanthii (syn. Sphaerotheca fuliginea)였으며, 기존에 보고된 race 1, N2, A와 판별결과가 일치하는 3 종류의 균주가 분리되었다. 또한 기존에 보고된 race (1, N1, N2, A, S, 5)와 검정 결과가 다른 새로운 race의 흰가루병균 2종이 동정되었다. 그리고 5개의 분리 및 동정된 흰가루병균을 이용하여 국내 시판중인 멜론 15품종에 대한 저항성을 조사한 결과, race1에 대해서는 15품종 중 9품종이 저항성을 보였다. Race N2와 A대해서는 소수의 품종에서 저항성을 보였으며, 새로운 race BN968에서는 15품종 모두가 이병성을 나타내었다. 또한 멜론 흰가루병 race 1 저항성 DNA 마커 KPMR1M-1과 KPMR1M-2에 의한 이병성 및 저항성 판별 결과와 race 1 접종 결과는 일치하였다. 따라서 국내 멜론 품종 육종에 있어서 다양한 race 특이적 마커 개발 및 이를 활용한 복합 race 저항성 품종 개발이 요구된다.

Objective: This study was conducted to clone and compare the molecular characteristics of the deiodinase 2 (DIO2) gene between Sichuan White geese and Landes geese, and to analyze the association between polymorphisms of the DIO2 gene and head dimensions in Tianfu meat geese. Methods: The coding sequence of the DIO2 gene was cloned by polymerase chain reaction and vector ligation and aligned by DNAMAN software. A total of 350 Tianfu meat geese were used to genotype the polymorphisms of the DIO2 gene and measure the head dimensions. Association analysis between the polymorphisms of the DIO2 gene and head dimensions was carried out. Results: An 840-bp coding sequence of the DIO2 gene was obtained and comparison analysis identified four polymorphic loci between Sichuan White geese and Landes geese. Further analysis showed that the dominant alleles for the four polymorphic loci were G, G, A, and T and the frequency of the heterozygous genotype was higher than that of the homozygous genotype in Tianfu meat geese. Compared to that in the population of non-knob geese of Tianfu meat geese, the head dimensions in the population of knob geese were significantly higher except for nostril height. However, in the non-knob geese, beak width 1, beak width 2, nostril length, cranial width 1, and maxillary length had significant differences among different genotypes or haplotypes/diplotypes. Conclusion: These results suggested that polymorphisms of the DIO2 gene could be considered molecular markers to select larger heads of geese in the population of non-knob geese.

억새의 식물학적인 분류 및 형태, 선진국의 억새 육종, 재배 및 이용 현황 그리고 우리나라의 억새 연구성과 등을 고찰함으로서 향후 우리나라 에너지 자급율 제고를 위한 억새 연구방향을 제시하고자 국내외 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 억새속 식물에는 17개종이 존재하는데 이 중 바이오 에너지용으로 중요한 종은 한국 등 동아시아가 원산인 참억새(M. sinensis)와 물억새(M. sacchariflorus) 그리고 이들 두 종의 종간 교잡종인 3배체 억새(M. x giganteous) 등이다. 여러 가지 에너지작물 중 억새는 연간 바이오매스 수량이 많고 저온, 염해, 습해 등 열악 환경 적응성과 질소이용효율이 우수하며 에너지 산출/투입 수지가 가장 높고 지상부 줄기와 땅속줄기에 다량의 탄소를 저장하기 때문에 탄수수지가 가장 높다. 유럽, 미국 및 캐나다 에서는 1930년대부터 일본으로부터 3배체 억새를 도입하여 연료용 펠릿 생산, 열병합발전, 양액재배 배지, 건축자재 및 강화 플라스틱 원료로 이용한다. 현재 재배되는 3배체 억새 단점보완을 위한 품종육성연구와 사탕수수와 억새교잡종인 "Miscane" 육성 연구가 진행되고 있다. 우리나라에서는 2007년 억새 유전자원 수집이 착수된 이후 2009년에 바이오매스 수량이 많은 "거대억새1호"와 억새를 증식효율을 높일 수 있는 "억새대량증식방법"을 개발하였다. 향후 우리나라 억새산업 발전을 위해서는 분자육종 등 새로운 육종기법을 활용하여 우리나라뿐만 아니라 해외에서도 재배할 수 있는 우량 신품종을 육성하는 한편 바이오매스의 전처리, 당화 및 발효 등 셀룰로오스계 에탄올 생산공정에 관한 연구도 강화해야 할 것이다.

The brown planthopper (BPH) is a major insect pest in rice, and damages these plants by sucking phloem-sap and transmitting viral diseases. Many BPH resistance genes have been identified in indica varieties and wild rice accessions, but none has yet been cloned. In the present study we report fine mapping of the region containing the Bph1 locus, which enabled us to perform marker-aided selection (MAS). We used 273 F8 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between Cheongcheongbyeo, an indica type variety harboring Bph1 from Mudgo, and Hwayeongbyeo, a BPH susceptible japonica variety. By random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis using 656 random 10-mer primers, three RAPD markers (OPH09, OPA10 and OPA15) linked to Bph1 were identified and converted to SCAR (sequence characterized amplified region) markers. These markers were found to be contained in two BAC clones derived from chromosome 12: OPH09 on OSJNBa0011B18, and both OPA10 and OPA15 on OSJNBa0040E10. By sequence analysis of ten additional BAC clones evenly distributed between OSJNBa0011B18 and OSJNBa0040E10, we developed 15 STS markers. Of these, pBPH4 and pBPH14 flanked Bph1 at distances of 0.2 cM and 0.8 cM, respectively. The STS markers pBPH9, pBPH19, pBPH20, and pBPH21 co-segregated with Bph1. These markers were shown to be very useful for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in breeding populations of 32 F6 RILs from a cross between Andabyeo and IR71190, and 32 F5 RILs from a cross between Andabyeo and Suwon452.
