Sympathetic skin response (SSR) is defined as a minute change of skin potential after electrical stimulation. This test measures the change in voltage that originates from the surface of the skin and is attributed to sudomotor activity. The aim of this study was to define the criteria for validation of the responses. 40 normal subjects (20-73 years of age) with non-sympathetic dysfunction were tested and SSR was generated form all subjects. SSR latency was 1331.22${\pm}$177.51ms in the right palm, 1331.74${\pm}$156.42ms in the left palm, 1851.79${\pm}$220.99ms in the right sole, and 1874.10${\pm}$215.01ms in the left sole. And SSR amplitude was 595.83${\pm}$221.16${\mu}$V in the right palm, 605.33${\pm}$226.45${\mu}$V in the left palm, 291.76${\pm}$133.36${\mu}$V in the right sole, and 288.77${\pm}$129.70${\mu}$ V in the left sole. SSR latency and amplitude had no significantly difference between the right and the left side. SSR latency was consistently shorter (p<0.001) and SSR amplitude higher (p<0.001) in feet than in hands. SSR waveforms were P-type (32 subjects, 75%) and N-type (8 subjects, 25%), respectively. The SSR latency and amplitude in palms/soles were closely correlated with age (p<0.05) and height (p<0.05). The SSR test is one of methods assessing impairment of sympathetic fibers in peripheral neuropathy as well as a disorder of sympathetic system in other diseases and so our results from normal healthy subjects can be used as clinical criteria for SSR test.

High-density genetic linkage mapping is critical for undertaking marker-assisted selection and confirming quantitative trait loci, as well as helping to build pseudomolecules of genomes. We constructed a genetic map using 94 $F_1$ populations generated from the interspecific cross between Korean cultivar "Wonwhang" (Pyrus pyrifolia, NCBI BioSample SAMN05196235) and European cultivar "Bartlett" (Pyrus communis). We designed a total of 24,267 SSR markers based on the genome sequences of "Wonwhang" for this. To select the markers that are linked to the traits important in pear breeding programs, SSR-containing genomic sequences were subjected to nucleotide sequence homology searches, which resulted in 510 SSR markers with high similarity to genes encoding proteins with putative functions such as transcription factors, resistance proteins, flowering time, and regulatory genes. Of these, 70 markers showed polymorphisms in parents and segregating populations and were used to construct a genetic linkage map, together with the unpublished 579 SNPs obtained from genotyping by sequencing analysis. The genetic linkage map covered 3,784.2 cM and the average distance between adjacent markers was 5.8 cM. Seventy SSR markers were distributed across 17 chromosomes with more than one locus.

To analyze the genetic relationships among Korean potato cultivars and to develop cultivar identification method using DNA markers, we carried out genotyping using simple sequence repeats (SSR) analysis and developed multiplex-SSR set. Initially, we designed 92 SSR primer combinations reported previously and applied them to twenty four Korean potato cultivars. Among the 92 SSR markers, we selected 14 SSR markers based on polymorphism information contents (PIC) values. PIC values of the selected 14 markers ranged from 0.48 to 0.89 with an average of 0.76. PIC value of PSSR-29 was the lowest with 0.48 and PSSR-191 was the highest with 0.89. UPGMA clustering analysis based on genetic distances using 14 SSR markers classified 21 potato cultivars into 2 clusters. Cluster I and II included 16 and 5 cultivars, respectively. And 3 cultivars were not classified into major cluster group I and II. These 14 SSR markers generated a total of 121 alleles and the average number of alleles per SSR marker was 10.8 with a range from 3 to 34. Among the selected markers, we combined three SSR markers, PSSR-17, PSSR-24 and PSSR-24, as a multiplex-SSR set. This multiplex-SSR set used in the study can distinguish all the cultivars with one time PCR and PAGE (Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) analysis and PIC value of multiplex-SSR set was 0.95.

Fifty-nine Korean soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) landrace accessions were tested for genotype fingerprinting, differentiation and association between morphological traits and SSR profile. Using 8 SSR loci, 59 varieties were divided into 55 groups, and only 4 pairs of varieties were not uniquely identified. The resolving power of SSR for soybean genotyping was much higher than that of the morphological traits that were studied. Identification efficiency also differed among SSR loci. Those loci with higher numbers of alleles distinguished varieties more effectively. Genetic differentiation values of the soybean landraces varied from 0.57 to 0.82 with a mean of 0.68. The number of alleles detected by the 8 loci ranged from 3 to 8. and the effective number of alleles ranged from 2.3 to 5.1. In a study of the association of SSR alleles with morphological traits, some alleles seemed to be related with some specific morphological traits. Comparison of two kinds of dendrograms which were derived from SSR markers and quantitative traits indicated that the dendrograms were not consistent. Considering the correlation between single SSR locus and qualitative traits governed by major genes, the data suggest that alleles of microsatellite loci be more closely related to some traits determined by major genes than those determined by minor genes.

Two different types of molecular markers, simple sequence repeat (SSR) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), were used to measure genetic diversity among five Korean, eight Thai, and three wild soybeans. For SSR analysis, a total of 20 markers were surveyed to detect polymorphisms. For SNP analysis, four primers were designed from consensus sequence regions on disease resistance protein homolog genes, and used to amplify the genomic region. The PCR products were sequenced. A number of polymorphic SSR and SNP bands were scored on all genotypes and their genetic similarity was measured. Clustering analysis was performed independently on both types of markers. Clustering based on SSR markers separated the genotypes into three main groups originated from Korea, Thailand, and wild soybeans. On the other hand, two main groups were classified using SNP analysis. It seemed that SSR was more informative than SNP in this study. This may be due to the fact that SNP was surveyed on the smaller genomic region than SSR. Grouping based on the combined data of both markers revealed similar results to that of SNP rather than that of SSR. This might be due to the fact that more loci from SNP were considered to measure genetic relatedness than those from the SSR.

A linkage map for Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora) was constructed on the basis of two DNA marker systems of random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs) and inter-simple sequence repeats (I-SSR). Haploid genomic DNAs were extracted from megagametophyte tissues of 96 individual seeds in a single tree. A total of 98 DNA markers including 52 RAPD markers amplified by 25 primers and 46 I-SSR markers amplified by 18 primers were verified as Mendelian loci showing 1 : 1 segregation in 96 megagametophytes which were ${\chi}^2$-tested at 5% significance level. Of them, 63 segregating loci turned out to be linked into 20 linkage groups by the two-point analysis. However, 35 loci (17 RAPD and 18 I-SSR) of the 98 segregating loci did not coalesced into any linkage groups at a LOD of 3.0. The linked 63 loci were separated by an average distance of about 25.5 cM, which were spanned 1097.8 cM as a whole. The minimum and maximum map distances of the linkage groups were 4.3 cM and 54.9 cM, respectively. Incorporation of I-SSR loi into linkage map of RAPD loci resulted in extended and partially more saturated linkage blocks.

Subsynchronous resonance(SSR) causes a torsional shaft torque on the generator. Damages resulting from the uncontrolled SSR have resulted in the breakdown in the shaft and costs for replacement power. This paper is to determine the feasibility of controlling SSR by the fast modulation of series compensation capacitors. The presence of subsynchronous currents in the system was detected by a subsynchronous relay which was modeled by the transient analysis of control systems(TACS) in electromagnetic transients program (EMTP). The capacitor segments were switched by bi-directional thyristor switches. These were modeled into EMTP. The strategy to switch the capacitors were modeled as a closed loop system. The paper proves that effective control of SSR can be obtained only by the detuning of the system and the removal or blocking of subsynchronous energy from the system. (author). refs., figs., tabs.

The objective of this study was to develop a technique for the cultivar discrimination using SSR markers in soybean. A total of 91 soybean cultivars developed from 1913 to 2002 in Korea were evaluated by five polymorphic SSR markers (Sat_043, Sat_036, Sat_022, Sat_088 and Satt045). Five SSR markers generated a total of 64 alleles and the number of alleles for each SSR marker ranged from 10 to 15 with average of 12.8. Polymorphic information contents (PIC) by five markers of 91 cultivars were ranged from 0.790 to 0.905 with average of 0.857. A total of 82 cultivars (90%) among 91 soybean cultivars could be individually discriminated by combination of five SSR markers through five step analysis. A cultivar, Buseok, by Sat_043 at the first step, 34 cultivars including Hojangkong by Sat_036 at the second step, 29 cultivars including Dankyeongkong by Sat_022 at the third step, 12 cultivars including Sinpaldalkong 2 by Sat_088 at the fourth step, and 6 cultivars including Saebyeolkong by Satt045 at the fifth step were discriminated. Soybean cultivars which were not discriminated by SSR markers could be discriminated by morphological characteristics.

The objective of this study was to use 'Danta PR', NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology for genome resequencing to develop polymorphic makers between Chinese oriental melon, 'Hyangseo 1' and Korean oriental melon. From the resequencing data that covered about 81 times of the genome size, 104,357 of SSR motifs and Indel, and 1,092,436 of SNPs were identified. 299 SSR and 307 Indel markers were chosen to cover each chromosome with 25 markers. These markers were subsequently used to identify genotypes of 'Danta PR' BC1 (F1 x 'Danta PR') population and a genetic linkage map was constructed. SSR, Indel, and SNPs identified in this study would be useful as a breeding tool to develop new oriental melon varieties.

Molecular characterization of different genotypes reveals accurate information about the degree of genetic diversity that helps to develop a proper breeding program. In this study, a total of 30 EST-based simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers derived from trumpet lily (Lilium longiflorum) were used across 11 native lily species for their genetic relationship. Among these 30 markers, 24 SSR markers that showed polymorphism were used for evaluation of diversity spectrum. The allelic number at per locus ranged from 1 at SSR2 locus to 34 alleles at SSR15 locus, with an average of 11.25 alleles across 24 loci observed. The polymorphic information content, PIC, values ranged from 0.0523 for SSR9 to 0.9919 for SSR2 in all 24 loci with an average of 0.3827. The allelic frequency at every locus ranged from 0.81% at SSR2 locus to 99.6% at SSR14 locus. The pairwise genetic dissimilarity coefficient revealed the highest genetic distance with a value of 81.7% was in between L. dauricum and L. amabile. A relatively closer genetic distance was found between L. lancifolium and L. dauricum, L. maximowiczii and L. concolor, L. maximowiczii and L. distichum (Jeju), L. tsingtauense and L. callosum, L. cernuum and L. distichum (Jeju ecotype), of which dissimilarity coefficient was 50.0%. The molecular fingerprinting based on microsatellite marker could serve boldly to recognize genetically distant accessions and to sort morphologically close as well as duplicate accessions.
