RAPD분석을 통하여 홍화 수집종들의 유전적 다양성 및 유연관계를 밝히고, 품종군을 분류하여 품종육성의 기초자료로 이용코자 시험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. RAPD 분석에 적용한 30개의 10mer primer 중 20개의 적정 primer를 선발하였고, 증폭된 PCR산물은 ${3.0{sim}0.2Kb}$에서 재현성 있는 밴드를 보였으며, 각 primer에 의해 증폭된 밴드의 수는 ${2{sim}11}$개로 다양하였으며 평균 5.6개이었다. PCR 반응에 사용된 20개의 selected primer에서 111개의 밴드가 관찰되었으며, 다형성을 보이는 밴드 수는 84개(75.7%)이었고, RAPD-PCR에 의해 얻어진 dendrogram에서 유연계수 0.14를 기준으로 11개의 군으로 분류되었고, VII군은 7종(23%), VIII군은 8종(27%)이 속하는 큰 군이었으며, 7군은 대부분이 국내종(85%)이었다.
This studies were conducted to provide the basic information on safflower collections and to identify the variations which could be utilized in safflower breeding programs, The RAPDs was used to clarify the genetic relationships among safflower collections and to classify them into distint genetic groups. Among 30 of 10 mer primers in RAPD analysis, twenty were selected as the appropriate primers for identification of the genetic characters in safflower collections. Amplified PCR showed the highly reproducible bands at $3.0{sim}0.2kb$. The number of bands amplified with the each primer showed the variations ranged from 2 to 11, with the average of 5.6. Total of 111 bands were identified among 20 selected primers used in PCR reaction and 84 bands (75.7%) showed polymorphism. Based on the similarity value of 0.14 in dendrogram derived from the cluster analysis using RAPD-PCR, the 30 safflower collections were classified into 11 groups. The two main groups, VII and VIII included 7 collections (23%) and 8 collections (27%), respectively. Most of the collections in group VII were the Korean collections (85%).
