  • The continuous exploration in deep seawater from Korea makes us lead the discovery of ancient Chlorophyta, Palmophyllum, in the Korean coast. The phylogenetic analyses of 18S rRNA and rbcL genes demonstrate that our specimens are Palmophyllum crassum (Naccari) Rabenhorst, recorded in Japan and clearly distinguished from P. umbracola from New Zealand and California, USA. Palmophyllum crassum grows in the subtidal region, 8-30 m deep, and has a crustose thallus which is closely adherent to substrates such as non-geniculate crustose coralline algae, sponge, shells, or rocks. P. crassum is composed of numerous spherical cells embedded in the gelatinous matrix. The discovery of this ancient green seaweed implies that the Korean coast is one of the hotspots of algal species diversity and has the suitable marine environment for algal speciation. We suggest the grounds to conserve the Korean coast environmentally as the biodiversity center of marine species by studying the phylogeny of seaweeds.

  • 긴팔원숭이는 영장목, 유인원 아목, 좁은코원숭이 상과, 사람과에 속하는 영장류로써 소형 영장류라고 불린다. 이들은 동남 아시아 일대의 열대 우림에서 종 분화에 성공한 영장류로써 현재 4속 12종이 동정 되어 있지만 이들 중 10종이 멸종 위기에 있다. 다양한 영장류 중에 가장 높은 멸종 위기에 있으면서도 아직도 정확하게 많은 종 또는 아종의 동정이 되지 않고 있는 실정이며 많은 연구가 필요한 종이다. 그러므로 정확한 지리학적 분포와 종의 동정을 통해 이들 긴팔원숭이의 계통 관계를 파악 하는 것이 긴팔원숭이의 종분화의 이해 및 보존을 위해 무엇 보다 중요하다고 사료된다.

  • The cDNA encoding ribosomal protein S4(RPS 4) from an ovary cDNA library of the Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata) was cloned and sequenced. The RPS4X gene from monkey X chromosome encodes a deduced protein of 263 amino acids and share 99.1% cDNA sequence similarity and 100% amino acid sequence identify with the human RPS4X. Rate of synonymous substitution was higher in RPS4Y than in RPS4X in comparison to the monkey and human. The ratio of synonymous and nonsynonymous substitutions per site indicated that directional selection has nor occurred in RPS4 genes. Phylogenetic analysis using the neighbor-joining method revealed that X and Y-linked RPS4 genes have evolved independently.
