위축, 황화, 총생 증상 등 전형적인 병징을 나타내는 phytoplasma에 감염된 식물에서 phytoplasma만을 특이적으로 검출하기 위하여 polymerase chain reaction(PCR) 방법을 이용하였다. Phytoplasma의 16S rRNA gence의 DNA 단편을 증폭하기 위하여 1.4 kb primers (forward, 5` -GTTGATCCTGGCTCAGGATT-3` 와 reverse, 5` -AACCCCGAGAACGTATTCACC -3`)를 사용하여 증폭한 결과, phytoplasma에 이병된 오동나무, 라일락 및 미역취에서는 약 1.4 kbp의 위치에서 특이 band가 검출되었으나 control로 사용한 건전주에서는 어떠한 band 검출되지 않았다. 위의 결과를 재확인 하기 위하여 약 0.5 kb의 primers(forward, 5` -ACGAAAGCGTGGGGAGCAAA-3` 와 reverse, 5` -GAAGTCGAGTTGCAGACTTC-3`)를 사용하여 증폭한 결과, 0.5 kb의 위치에서 특이 band가 검출되었으나 control로 사용한 건전주에서는 어떠한 band도 검출되지 않았다. Phytoplasma에 이병된 식물의 PCR 반응산물을 제한효소인 AluI으로 처리하 sruf과, 오동나무와 라일락에서는 동일한 band pattern을 나타내어 서로 유연관계가 가까운 phytoplasma인 것으로 생각되며, 미역취에서는 이들과는 다른 band pattern을 나타내어 오동나무와 라일락의 phytoplasma와는 유연관계가 먼 것으로 추측된다.

We designed a sensitive and specific PCR-based method with enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) primer to detect Erwinia pyrifoliae, which cause shoot blight in Asian pear, from a mixed culture and infected plant materials. The primers specifically detected only E. pyrifoliae and showed no cross-reactivity with other bacterial phytopathogens.

The reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for the detection of bovine coronavirus (BCV) in fecal samples by using reverse transcriptase and two primers which flanked M gene sequence of 407bp. RT-PCR detected bovine coronavirus specifically, but did not detect mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), and bovine rotavirus (BRV). The M gene sequences of MHV are homologus to that of BCV, but minor differences exist in the primer regions, preventing annealing of the primers. Detection of BCV using RT-PCR was compared with ELISA and the agreement of BCV detection by RT-PCR and ELISA was 95.3%. RNA detection in positive clinical specimens was significantly better by PCR than immunological detection of BCV by ELISA.

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to anlayze six isolates of two species of Porphyra, P. yezoensis and P. tenera. Four 21-mer prrmers were combined randomly into six groups of double primers and screened for DNA amplification using nuclear and chloroplast tempate DNA. The RAPD patterns resulting from RnRc and CnCc primers provided evidence for both genetically homo-and heterogeneous populations of P. yezoensis and P. tenera. Similarity values obtained by RnRc primer analysis of nuclear DNA varied from 0.364 to 0.714 and those of chloroplast DNA were high, ranging from 0.727 to 1.000, except for P. yezoensis (Enoura).

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was done with 19 oligonucleotide primers to study genetic similarities and divergence among different types of Deoni breed of cattle viz., Balankya, Wannera and Waghya. Six random primers produced low to high numbers of polymorphic bands between pooled DNA of different Deoni types. Of the 48 RAPD markers obtained 33 were common to all Deoni types, 3 were individual specific and 12 were polymorphic for different Deoni types. The mean average percentage difference values among Deoni types showed that Balankya and Wannera had less genetic divergence when compared to Waghya.

Bovine genome samples were collected from meat of three different beef breeds (Hanwoo, Holstein and imported beef breed) that are commercially merchandized in Korean beef market. Operon B (OPB)-kits were used as random primers (3, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14) in random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method on whole genome. Each primer provided characteristic bands that were highly polymorphic. Each single primer could provide relatively efficient polymorphic band patterns among breeds. However, use of two or more primers in combination is recommended to improve resolution of experiments with higher molecular weight bands of DNA. In our experiments, OPB-11 resolved well between beef cattle breeds and Holstein. And OPB-7, 12 and 14 could be combined with OPB-11 to identify Hanwoo beef from the other two kinds of beef.

In this paper, we analyzed the microsatellites in the transcript sequences of the whole Laccaria bicolor genome. Our results revealed that, apart from the triplet repeats, length diversification and richness of the detected microsatellites positively correlated with their repeat motif lengths, which were distinct from the variation trends observed for the transcriptional microsatellites in the genome of higher plants. We also compared the microsatellites detected in the genic regions and in the nongenic regions of the L. bicolor genome. Subsequently, SSR primers were designed for the transcriptional microsatellites in the L. bicolor genome. These SSR primers provide desirable genetic resources to the ectomycorrhizae community, and this study provides deep insight into the characteristics of the micro satellite sequences in the L. bicolor genome.

To classify Lactobacillus casei strains on the basis of difference in their chromosomal DNA sequence, we have performed polymerase chain reactions on their chromosomal DNA by using random primers, and followed by analyzing randomly amplified polymorphic DNA fragments. We also developed a mini-preparative method to isolate PCR-grade chromosomal DNA from Lacto- bacillus casei strains within 3 hours. Based on RAPD pattems by polymerase chain reactions with degenerated random primers, 4 Lactobacillus casei strains and 2 mutant strains were successfully discriminated. Results were very sensitive, strain-specific and reproducible. It was also reliable. These results suggest that RAPD may be applied efficiently for the identification of several Lactoba- cillus casei strains.

In this study, occurrence of canine brucellosis was surveyed in kennels, indoor dogs and stray dogs in Korea, and infrequent restriction site-polymerase chain reaction (IRS-PCR) was applied to analyze DNA polymorphism of Brucella canis (B. canis) isolates. Among a total of 501 dogs tested, B. canis antibodies by both rapid screening agglutination with 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME RSAT) and immunochromatographic assay were detected in only 14.1% of kennel dogs. There were no seropositive cases in indoor dogs and stray dogs. DNA polymorphism was observed in 16 B. canis isolates by the IRS-PCR. Sixteen isolates were tested with primers, PsalA, PsalC, PsalG and PsalT, and different primers produced different DNA patterns. In regard to the IRS-PCR pattern of 16 isolates, 9 (56.3%) belonged to the IRS-PCR type I. The remaining 7 were differentiated as type II, III and IV. An application of the primer PsalC provided discrimination between B. canis isolated in 2005 and others.

Genetic analysis was conducted on newly isolated coliphages form soil by using a RAPD assay. From the initial result, the coliphages were turned out to be different form one another but were closely related to .psi..lambda. due to the fact that they shared the samed RAPD maker in which other T phage testings failed to show. By using the primers EC01 or EC02, a fast genetic mutation of .psi.C1 was found by producing specific RAPD markers on the phages from the first filial progeny to the second filial progeny. When we made a RAPD assay with combined primers (EC01, EC05 and EC08), the genetic mutation was again confirmed in .psi.C1. The assay detection showed mutations in other coliphages such as .psi.C2 and .psi.C3 by revealing specific RAPD bands among different progeny phages, where genetic instability of the coliphages in implied.
