Sixty-three isolates of Lentinus edodes obtained from Korea were used to assess the genetic similarity by isozyme polymorphisms and random amplified polymorphic DNA patterns. The activities of esterase, peroxidase and acid phosphatase displayed 10, 7 and 3 distinct isozyme patterns, respectively. By combining the isozyme patterns obtained with the 3 enzymes, every isolate showed its own distinct electrophoretic phenotypes. A distance matrix calculated between all pairs of 63 electrophoretic phenotypes based on the presence or abscence of isozyme bands were analyzed by the group-average method. Results of the cluster analysis assinged the 63 phenotypes into six major groups. In the analysis of random amplified polymorphic DNA patterns, all isolates of Lentinus edodes were devided into five RAPD groups.

The identification , characterization and quantification of Plasmodium sp. genetic polymorphism are becoming increasingly important in the vaccine development. We investigated polymorphism of Plasmodium vivax GAM-1 (PvGAM-1) gene in 30 Korean isolates. The polymorphic region of the PvGAM-1 gene, corresponding to nt 3792-4029, was amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by sequencing. All of the P. viuax Korean isolates were one type of GAM-1 gene, which were identical to that of the Belem strain. It is suggested that PvGAM-1 could not be used as a genetic marker for identifying or classifying P. vivax Korean isolates. It revealed that the polymorphic pattern as acquired basically by duplication and modification or deletion event of a 33 bp-motif fragment ended by poly guanine (G) and that there were at least three complete and one partial 33 Up-motif sequences within the polymorphic region in the longest cases such as those of South Korean and Belem isolates. In addition, we clustered P. vivax isolates with parsimonious criteria on the basis of PvGAM- 1 polymorphic patterns (insertion/deletion patterns) .

Eighty-five different cultivars of Brassica rapa, B. juncea, B. nap us, B. carinata, B. oleracea and hexaploid Brassica collected from Bangladesh, Japan, China and Denmark were analyzed by SDS-PAGE for seed and leaf protein variations, using esterase, acid phosphatase and peroxidase isozyme analysis. Ten polymorphic bands were identified from seed protein however no identifiable polymorphic band was found in the leaf protein. Polymorphic markers clearly distinguished the different Brassica species as well as yellow sarson (YS) and brown seeded (BS) cultivars of B. rapa. The $F_1$ cross between YS and brown seeded cultivars showed the existance of all poly-morphic bands of the respective parents. The Bangla-deshi and Japanese cultivars of B. rapa differed in the amount of seed protein. In the case of isozyme analysis, esterase showed the highest number of polymorphic bands (13) followed by acid phosphatase (9) and peroxidase (5). These polymorphic markers were very effec-tive for classification of all the species studied in this experiment. In parentage tests using isozymes, the hybridity of intra-and-interspecific crosses of almost all the seedlings could be identified from their respective cross combinations. Esterase polymorphism showed a clear differentiation between YS and BS types of B. rapa. In addition, two esterase polymorphic markers were iden ified to differentiate some cultivars of B. juncea. Segregation patterns in these two esterase bands showed a simple Mendelian monohybrid ratio of 3:1 in $F_2$, 1:1 in test cross and 1:0 in back cross progenies. No polymorphic band was identified to distinguish different cultivars of the same species by acid phosphatase or peroxidase. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was carried out with seed coat color specific marker of B. juncea. The yellow seeded cultivars produced a strong band at 0.5 kb and weak band 1.2 kb. In the addition of these two specific bands, Japanese yellow-seeded cultivars expressed two more weak bands at 1.0 kb and 1.1 kb. Where the brown seeded cultivars generated a single strong band at 1.1 kb. In segregating population, the yellow seed coat color marker segregated at a ratio 15 (brown) : 1 (yellow), indicating the digenic inheritance pattern of the trait.

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was investigated as a potential tool for the origin identification of olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) and redlip croaker (Pseudosciaena polyactis). Olive flounder specimens were collected from North Korea and several locations of South Korea (Jumunjin, Tongyoung and Geoje). Fishes obtained from Tongyeong and Geoje were cultured products. Redlip croaker specimens were collected from South Korea and China. Consistent and distinct diagnostic bands were easily identified in the RAPD patterns of the olive flounder specimens. Although consistent diagnostic bands rarely appeared in the RAPD pattern of redlip croaker specimens because of their genetic heterogeneity, we were able to find potential diagnostic bands in the average RAPD pattern of each origin.

한국산 선발계통 및 일본산 양식계통과 이들 두 계통간 잡종 참돔 집단의 유전적 특성을 분석하기 위하여, RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) marker를 탐색하였다. 10개의 염기로 이루어진 200개의 random primer 분석을 통하여 polymorphic pattern을 나타내는 23개의 random primer를 선발하였으며, 각 primer의 재현성을 확인하였다. 이들 중 OPA-11 primer는 크기가 각각 600 bp, 650 bp 및 750 bp 인 3개의 DNA 단편에 의하여 4개의 genotype을 나타냈으며, 각 genotype의 빈도는 집단간차이를 보였고, 한국산 선발계통 집단에서는 4개의 genotype이 모두 발견되는 반면, 일본산 양식계통 및 일본산 양식계통을 포함한 교배집단에서는 특정 genotype만 발견되었다. OPA-11 primer 유래의 polymorphic DNA 단편을 cloning하고 염기서열을 결정하였으며, SCAR (Sequence Characterized Amplified Region) primer를 제작하고 분석하였다. 본 연구는 참돔집단의 유전적 특성 파악 및 집단 구별에 RAPD marker를 활용하였으며, 참돔 육종시 형질 및 기능관련 DNA marker 탐색에 적용하기 위하여, 이후의 연구에서는 SCAR과 RFLP 분석에 RAPD marker를 이용하여 100% 정확도를 갖는 RFLP maker를 찾고, MAS (Marker-Assisted Selection)에 적용하고자 한다.

Pseudomonas aerugionsa is a commonly isolated nosocomial pathogen. DNA fingerprinting of P. aerugionsa is examined by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). In this study, P. aeruginosa were isolated from environmental and clinical specimens and the molecular typing of the microorganisms was investigated by RAPD. Thirty strains of P. aeruginosa were selected from the strains isolated formerly and submitted for type identification to the University Hospital. 15 strains of P. aeruginosa were received from Chungnam University Hospital and 14 strains from Gyeongsang University Hospital. DNA of P. aeruginosa was extracted by Qiagen genomic DNA kit. PCR mixtures were set up and incubated, Reactions mixtures were made to be optimal for P. aeruginosa. RAPD typing analysis was carried out by the multivariate statistical program (MVSP) V3.0. RAPD type I was the most common pattern and included 23 strains. Most of strains from Gyeongsang University Hospital belonged to RAPD type lb and 15 strains from Chungnam University Hospital to RAPD type I or II. RAPD typing of P. aeruginosa isolated from the environmental and clinical specimens was very simple and reproducible.

Random amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis Is based on the amplification of random DNA segment using a single arbitrary primer. Polymorphic DNA patterns identified by this method can be used for typing Listeria monocytogenes. To select the primers for RAPD typing Listeria spp., the performance of 31 primers were compared by analyzing 13 Listeria spp. reference strains. Reproducible electrophoresis patterns were obtained. Among 31 primers, 6 primers (primer 6, HLWL74, UBC155, UBC127, Lis5, Lis11) showed better differentiation, when discrimination index, band clarity, band number, difficulty of band scoring were considered than the others. These primers will be useful far typing Listeria spp. in the future. Currently, we are under investigation for the RAPD typing of contaminated L. monocytogenes for the risk analysis of pork processing plant using these primers.

Fifty-one extended-spectrum-${\beta}$-lactamase(ESBL) producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains were isolated from national university hospitals. All K. pneumoniae strains showed resistance to broad-spectrum antibiotic and most of them presented resistance to amikacin, gentamicin and ciprofloxacin. The results of amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) pattern for randomly isolated fifty-one strains were as follows; both twenty-one strains from Chungnam National University hospital and ten strains from Chungbuk National University hospital showed RAPD type Ia and Ib. However, twenty strains isolated from Gyeongsang National University hospital belonged to RAPD type IIa and IIb. All isolates were divided into four molecular types and showed high level of genetic diversity. These results suggested that RAPD analysis provided a rapid and simple method for analysing genotypes of ESBL.

This study was carried out to develop specific primers for PCR detection of Phellinus linteus. Diverse genomes of 15 Phellinus spp. including five Phellinus linteus isolates were fingerprinted by Primer Universal rice primer(URP)1F. The URP-PCR pattern differentiated P. linteus isolates from other phellinus spp. A polymorphic band(2.8 kb), which is unique for P. linteus isolates, was isolated and sequenced. Twenty four-oligonucleotide primer pairs were designed based on information of DNA sequence. The primer set(PLSPF2/PLSPR1) amplified single band(2.2 kb) of expected size with genomic DNA from seven Phellinus linteus, but not with that of other Phellinus species tested. The primers could be used identically in both DNA samples from mycelium and fruit bodies. This specific primers could offer a useful tool for detecting and identifying P. linteus rapidly.
