Identification of the Plant Family Caryophyllaceae in Korea Using DNA Barcoding.

Caryophyllaceae is a large angiosperm family, with many species being utilized as ornamental or medicinal plants in Korea, in addition to several endangered species that are managed by the government. In this study, we used DNA barcoding for the accurate identification of Korean Caryophyllaceae. A total of 78 taxa ( = 215) were sequenced based on three chloroplast regions (L, K, and A-H) and nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITS).

The effect of colorization on the fetal lung heterogeneity index.

No previous studies have quantitatively assessed the effect of color tones on ultrasound texture analysis techniques. Our objective was to compare heterogeneity index (HI) between fetal lung images captured in grayscale and those same images after conversion to Ice and Sepia. Fetal lung images were obtained during medically indicated ultrasound examinations.

Complete Plastome of Three Korean (Aristolochiaceae): Confirmation Tripartite Structure within Korean and Comparative Analyses.

The genus (Aristolochiaceae) is a well-known resource of medicinal and ornamental plants. However, the taxonomy of Korean is ambiguous due to their considerable morphological variations. Previously, a unique plastome structure has been reported from this genus.

Phylogenomics With Hyb-Seq Unravels Korean Evolution.

The genus (Agavoideae and Asparagaceae) is one of the most popular landscaping and ornamental plants native to temperate East Asia. Their popularity has led to extensive hybridization to develop various cultivars. However, their long history of hybridization, cultivation, and selection has brought about taxonomic confusion in the species delimitation along with their indistinguishable morphology.

Cross-task congruency sequence effect without the contribution of multiple expectancy.

The confound-minimized cross-task design has been widely used to examine the characteristics of top-down cognitive control underlying the congruency sequence effect (CSE) without feature integration and contingency learning confounds. The present study reanalyzed our previous data obtained with the confound-minimized cross-task design, this time including the preceding congruency repetition type, to examine whether the cross-task CSE is confounded by feature integration from two-back (n-2) trials or multiple expectancies regarding the congruency and the congruency repetition type of the upcoming trial. As a result, the cross-task CSE interacted with the arbitrariness of S-R mapping or response mode regardless of the preceding congruency repetition type, indicating the contribution of top-down control triggered by conflict.

Response mode modulates the congruency sequence effect in spatial conflict tasks: evidence from aimed-movement responses.

The present study investigated how response mode determines the specificity of control responsible for the congruency sequence effect (CSE), especially when conflict arises from spatial dimensions. Horizontal and vertical Simon tasks were presented in turn, while response mode (Experiment 1) or task-relevant stimulus dimension (Experiment 2) was manipulated. All responses were made by aimed movements to make the relative salience of the horizontal and vertical dimensions equivalent regardless of response mode.

Comparative chloroplast genome analysis of Artemisia (Asteraceae) in East Asia: insights into evolutionary divergence and phylogenomic implications.

Background: Artemisia in East Asia includes a number of economically important taxa that are widely used for food, medicinal, and ornamental purposes. The identification of taxa, however, has been hampered by insufficient diagnostic morphological characteristics and frequent natural hybridization. Development of novel DNA markers or barcodes with sufficient resolution to resolve taxonomic issues of Artemisia in East Asia is significant challenge.

Complete chloroplast genomes of all six Hosta species occurring in Korea: molecular structures, comparative, and phylogenetic analyses.

Background: The genus Hosta is a group of economically appreciated perennial herbs consisting of approximately 25 species that is endemic to eastern Asia. Due to considerable morphological variability, the genus has been well recognized as a group with taxonomic problems. Chloroplast is a cytoplasmic organelle with its own genome, which is the most commonly used for phylogenetic and genetic diversity analyses for land plants.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Kom. (Aristolochiaceae).

is a medicinal plant belonging to the family Aristolichiaceae. In this study, complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of was characterized through assembly with next-generation sequencing data. The cp genome is 160,182 bp long and has a typical quadripartite organization consisting of a large single-copy (LSC), a small single-copy (SSC), and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs).

Determining the scope of control underlying the congruency sequence effect: roles of stimulus-response mapping and response mode.

Sequential modulation between two task congruencies has been examined to investigate the nature of the cognitive control mechanism underlying the congruency sequence effect (CSE). Previous results regarding what consecutive tasks must have in common to engender the cross-task CSE are inconsistent. The present study examined the roles of stimulus-response (S-R) mappings and response mode as critical factors in determining the scope of control.
