The taxonomic rank of the tiny-leaved terrestrial orchid Cephalanthera subaphylla Miyabe & $Kud{\hat{o}}$ has been somewhat controversial, as it has been treated as a species or as an infraspecific taxon, under C. erecta (Thunb.) Blume [C. erecta var. subaphylla (Miyabe & $Kud{\hat{o}}$) Ohwi and C. erecta f. subaphylla (Miyabe & $Kud{\hat{o}}$) M. Hiro]. Allozyme markers, traditionally employed for delimiting species boundaries, are used here to gain information for determining the taxonomic status of C. subaphylla. To do this, we sampled three populations of five taxa (a total of 15 populations) of Cephalanthera native to the Korean Peninsula [C. erecta, C. falcata (Thunb.) Blume, C. longibracteata Blume, C. longifolia (L.) Fritsch, and C. subaphylla]. Among 20 putative loci resolved, three were monomorphic (Dia-2, Pgi-1, and Tpi-1) across the five species. Apart from C. longibracteata, there was no allozyme variation within the remaining four species. Of the 51 alleles harbored by these 17 polymorphic loci, each of the 27 alleles at 14 loci was unique to a single species. Accordingly, we found low average values of Nei's genetic identities (I) between ten species pairs (from I = 0.250 for C. erecta versus C. longifolia to I = 0.603 for C. falcata vs. C. longibracteata), with C. subaphylla being genetically clearly differentiated from the other species (from I = 0.349 for C. subaphylla vs. C. longifolia to 0.400 for C. subaphylla vs. C. falcata). These results clearly indicate that C. subaphylla is not genetically related to any of the other taxa of Cephalanthera that are native to the Korean Peninsula, including C. erecta. In a principal coordinate analysis (PCoA), C. subaphylla was positioned distant not only from C. falcata, C. longibracteata, and C. longifolia, but also from C. erecta. Finally, K = 5 was the best clustering scheme using a Bayesian approach, with five clusters precisely corresponding to the five taxa. Thus, our allozyme results strongly suggest that C. subaphylla merits the rank of species.

Objectives: We investigated about the microbial properties and changes in the efficacy of the Codonopsis lanceolata (CL) by natural fermentation. Methods: CL was fermented for four weeks in a well-ventilated place with 2.5% salt. pH, total sugar, total polyphenol, and total flavonoid were measured to determine fermentation characteristics according to fermentation period and salt treatment. Polymerase chain reaction denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and random amplification of polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction were carried out for microbial analysis during fermentation. In addition, HepG2 cell was cultured to check the lipid accumulation through oil red O staining and the glucose uptake was analyzed by measuring the 2-NBDG at C2C12 cell. Results: The pH level and the total sugar decreased with the CL fermentation. Total polyphenol and flavonoid increased after CL fermentation. It was confirmed that Leuconostoc mesenteroides were maintained continuously during fermentation. In the salt treatment CL, there was a sharp increase in Rahnella aquatilis. Lactobacillus plantarum matrix was observed in fermented CL. In addition, Lactococcus lactis, Weissella koreensis, R. aquatilis, L. plantarum, Leu. mesenteroides have been added to the salt treatment. Glucose uptake were significantly increased after fermentation with salt for four weeks. Lipid accumulation in the HepG2 cells was observed that there was difference (P<0.01) between free fatty acid group (100%) and decreased 4 weeks after fermentation (90.38%) at $800{\mu}g/mL$. Conclusions: Total polyphenol and flavonoid were increased after CL fermentation. Especially, percentage of the glucose uptake and lipid accumulation inhibition increased in CL fermentation with salt. It is expected that fermentation of salt treated CL will be more effective in diabetes and fatty liver.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to compare identified informative regions through two genome-wide association study (GWAS) approaches and determine the accuracy and bias of the direct genomic value (DGV) for milk production traits in Korean Holstein cattle, using two genomic prediction approaches: single-step genomic best linear unbiased prediction (ss-GBLUP) and Bayesian Bayes-B. Methods: Records on production traits such as adjusted 305-day milk (MY305), fat (FY305), and protein (PY305) yields were collected from 265,271 first parity cows. After quality control, 50,765 single-nucleotide polymorphic genotypes were available for analysis. In GWAS for ss-GBLUP (ssGWAS) and Bayes-B (BayesGWAS), the proportion of genetic variance for each 1-Mb genomic window was calculated and used to identify informative genomic regions. Accuracy of the DGV was estimated by a five-fold cross-validation with random clustering. As a measure of accuracy for DGV, we also assessed the correlation between DGV and deregressed-estimated breeding value (DEBV). The bias of DGV for each method was obtained by determining regression coefficients. Results: A total of nine and five significant windows (1 Mb) were identified for MY305 using ssGWAS and BayesGWAS, respectively. Using ssGWAS and BayesGWAS, we also detected multiple significant regions for FY305 (12 and 7) and PY305 (14 and 2), respectively. Both single-step DGV and Bayes DGV also showed somewhat moderate accuracy ranges for MY305 (0.32 to 0.34), FY305 (0.37 to 0.39), and PY305 (0.35 to 0.36) traits, respectively. The mean biases of DGVs determined using the single-step and Bayesian methods were $1.50{\pm}0.21$ and $1.18{\pm}0.26$ for MY305, $1.75{\pm}0.33$ and $1.14{\pm}0.20$ for FY305, and $1.59{\pm}0.20$ and $1.14{\pm}0.15$ for PY305, respectively. Conclusion: From the bias perspective, we believe that genomic selection based on the application of Bayesian approaches would be more suitable than application of ss-GBLUP in Korean Holstein populations.

In this study, we observed chronological changes in the immunoreactivity and expression level of myelin basic protein (MBP), one of the most abundant proteins in the central nervous system, in the hippocampus of Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats and their control littermates (Zucker lean control; ZLC). In the ZLC group, body weight steadily increased with age; the body weight of the ZDF group, however, peaked at 30 weeks of age, and subsequently decreased. Based on the changes of body weight, animals were divided into the following six groups: early (12-week), middle (30-week), and chronic (52-week) diabetic groups and their controls. MBP immunoreactivity was found in the alveus, strata pyramidale, and lacunosum-moleculare of the CA1 region, strata pyramidale and radiatum of the CA3 region, and subgranular zone, polymorphic layer, and molecular layer of the dentate gyrus. MBP immunoreactivity was lowest in the hippocampus of 12-week-old rats in the ZLC group, and highest in 12-week-old rats in the ZDF group. Diabetes increased MBP levels in the 12-week-old group, while MBP immunoreactivity decreased in the 30-week-old group. In the 52-week-old ZLC and ZDF groups, MBP immunoreactivity was detected in the hippocampus, similar to the 30-week-old ZDF group. Western blot results corroborated with immunohistochemical results. These results suggested that changes in the immunoreactivity and expression of MBP in the hippocampus might be a compensatory response to aging, while the sustained levels of MBP in diabetic animals could be attributed to a loss of compensatory responses in oligodendrocytes.

키위에 세균성 궤양병을 일으키는 Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae는 유전적 특성과 생산하는 독소에 따라 5개의 biovar (1, 2, 3, 5, 6)로 나누어진다. 그중 최근 전 세계적으로 유행하고 있는 biovar 3는 2011년부터 국내에서 분리되고 있다. RAPD 분석을 바탕으로 국내에서 분리된 biovar 3 균주는 6개의 subgroup (I, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII)으로 나누어진 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 차등되는 RAPD 밴드의 염기서열로부터 6개 subgroup 각각에 특이적인 SCAR primers를 개발하였다. 각 subgroup에 특이적인 이들 primers를 사용하여 2011-2017에 국내에서 분리한 biovar 3 균주들의 subgroup 분포를 조사하였다. 조사된 54개 균주 중 35개(64.8%)가 subgroup V에, 9개(16.7%) 균주가 subgroup IV, 4개(7.4%)가 subgroup VI, 3개(5.6%) 균주가 subgroup VII, 2개(3.7%)가 subgroup VIII, 그리고 1개(1.9%) 균주가 subgroup I에 속하였다. Subgroups IV, V 및 VI에 속하는 균주들은 각각 중국, 뉴질랜드, 칠레 균주와 연관이 있었다. 이 연구에 따르면 우리나라의 biovar 3 균주들은 유전적으로 다양하며 꽃가루를 통해 외국으로부터 유입된 것으로 추정된다.

Objective: To conserve and utilize the genetic resources of a traditional Chinese indigenous pig breed, Liangshan pig, we assessed the genetic diversity, genetic structure, and genetic distance in this study. Methods: We used 50K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip for SNP detection of 139 individuals in the Liangshan Pig Conservation Farm. Results: The genetically closed conserved population consisted of five overlapping generations, and the total effective content of the population (Ne) was 15. The whole population was divided into five boar families and one non-boar family. Among them, the effective size of each generation subpopulation continuously decreased. However, the proportion of polymorphic markers (P_N) first decreased and then increased. The average genetic distance of these 139 Liangshan pigs was 0.2823±0.0259, and the average genetic distance of the 14 boars was 0.2723±0.0384. Thus, it can be deduced that the genetic distance changed from generation to generation. In the conserved population, 983 runs of homozygosity (ROH) were detected, and the majority of ROH (80%) were within 100 Mb. The inbreeding coefficient calculated based on ROH showed an average value of 0.026 for the whole population. In addition, the inbreeding coefficient of each generation subpopulation initially increased and then decreased. In the pedigree of the whole conserved population, the error rate of paternal information was more than 11.35% while the maternal information was more than 2.13%. Conclusion: This molecular study of the population genetic structure of Liangshan pig showed loss of genetic diversity during the closed cross-generation reproduction process. It is necessary to improve the mating plan or introduce new outside blood to ensure long-term preservation of Liangshan pig.

자웅이주 식물로 알려진 Schisandra nigra Max. (흑오미자)는 우리나라 제주도에 자생하고 있으며, 열매를 얻기 위해 일부 농가에서 재배되고 있다. 열매 생산을 위해서는 수그루에 비해 암그루의 가치가 더 높기 때문에 묘목단계에서 일찍 성별을 아는 것은 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 S. nigra의 유전체에서 암그루에 특이적인 부위에 관련된 SCAR 마커를 개발하였다. 120개의 무작위로 구성된 RAPD 프라이머 중에서 OPB-03 프라이머가 암그루에서 749 bp의 밴드를 안정적으로 증폭시켰다. 암그루 특이적인 PCR 산물을 분리하여 클로닝한 뒤 염기서열을 결정하였다. 이 암그루 특이적인 절편을 탐침으로 사용한 Southern hybridization에서 암그루에서만 양성반응이 나타나고 수그루에서는 잡종화가 일어나지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 749 bp의 DNA 절편이 암그루의 유전체에는 존재하지만, 수그루에는 없음을 시사하였다. RAPD 마커로부터 암그루에서만 436 bp를 증폭시키는 SCAR 프라이머를 설계하였다. 이 프라이머 쌍은 암그루와 자생지에서 수집한 4개의 자웅동주 식물에서만 예상되었던 크기의 DNA 절편을 증폭하였다. 이 연구에서 개발된 SCAR 마커는 묘목 단계에서 암꽃이 피는 개체를 선발하는데 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize the exopolysaccharides (EPS)-producing lactic acid bacteria from Taiwanese ropy fermented milk (TRFM) for developing a clean label low-fat fermented milk. Methods: Potential isolates from TRFM were selected based on the Gram staining test and observation of turbid suspension in the culture broth. Random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and API CHL 50 test were used for strain identification. After evaluation of EPS concentration, target strains were introduced to low-fat milk fermentation for 24 h. Fermentation characters were checked: pH value, acidity, viable count, syneresis, and viscosity. Sensory evaluation of fermented products was carried out by 30 volunteers, while the storage test was performed for 21 days at 4℃. Results: Two EPS-producing strains (APL15 and APL16) were isolated from TRFM and identified as Lactococcus (Lc.) lactis subsp. cremoris. Their EPS concentrations in glucose and lactose media were higher than other published strains of Lc. lactis subsp. cremoris. Low-fat fermented milk separately prepared with APL15 and APL16 reached pH 4.3 and acidity 0.8% with a viable count of 9 log colony-forming units/mL. The physical properties of both products were superior to the control yogurt, showing significant improvements in syneresis and viscosity (p<0.05). Our low-fat products had appropriate sensory scores in appearance and texture according to sensory evaluation. Although decreasing viable cells of strains during the 21-day storage test, low-fat fermented milk made by APL15 exhibited stable physicochemical properties, including pH value, acidity, syneresis and sufficient viable cells throughout the storage period. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that Lc. lactis subsp. cremoris APL15 isolated from TRFM had good fermentation abilities to produce low-fat fermented milk. These data indicate that EPS-producing lactic acid bacteria have great potential to act as natural food stabilizers for low-fat fermented milk.

각 게놈형간의 근연관계 및 배수체종의 게놈분석에 관한 새로운 접근을 시도하고자, Aegilops 19종 및 재배밀(T. aestivum)을 공시하여 AFLP 분석을 실시하여 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. AFLPs를 이용한 Aegilops종들간 근연관계를 분석한 결과, 7개의 primer 조합에서 총 207개의 다형 band를 조사하였으며 조합당 평균 다형 band수는 29.8개 이었다. 2. 각 게놈간 유연관계로 보아 Ae. heldreichii ($M^h$) 는 Ae. comosa (M)와 Ae. uniaristate(N)의 중간위치의 게놈으로 나타났고, UM게놈을 가진 4배체종의 M게놈 공여종으로 판단되었다. 그리고 Ae. squarrosa는 재배밀의 D게놈 공여종임을 확인하였다. 3. 6배체성 Ae. triaristate(UMN)는 4배체성 Ae. triaristate(UM)보다는 Ae. columnaris(UM)와 더 근연인 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 Ae. ventricosa(DN)은 U게놈이 N게놈보다 더 근연인 것으로 나타났다. 4. AFLPs에 의한 군집형성은 5개의 군집으로 구분되었고 이는 기본적으로 Gihara의 Section군과 일치하였고, 다양성분석, 게놈분석 등에 보다 효율적인 것으로 평가되었다.
