Abstract

The highest transformation frequency was observed when cotyledonary and hypocotyl explants of flowering cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. acephala DC) 'Eunbae' were cultured on shoot induction medium without kanamycin for 1 day, then cocultured with Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404;;pGA1036 harboring tomato inhibitor II promoter and $\beta$-glucuronidae (GUS) fusion gene for 3 days. These explants were transferred to MS medium containing 20 mg/L kanamycin, 500 mg/L carbenicillin, and 1 mg/L BA. The explants were subsequently subcultured every 2 weeks. Incorporation of the GUS gene into flowering cabbage was confirmed by PCR analysis of DNA. Southern blot analysis showed that ECL-labeled GUS gene was hybridized to the expected amplified genomic DNA fragment of about 366 bp from transgenic flowering cabbage. Histochemical analysis based on the enzymatic activity of the GUS protein indicated that PI-II promoter activity was sysmatically associated with vascular tissue in wonded as well as in non-wounded leaves, petioles and stems, but not in roots. Partial wounding with razor blade showed not systemic induction but partial induction.

꽃양배추 '은배' 종자를 무균 파종한 후 6일째된 하배축 조직을 BA 1㎎/L, sucrose 30㎎/L한천 8 g/L가 첨가된 MS 재분화배지에 1일간 전처리한 다음, PI promoter-GUS 융합 유전자가 도입된 Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA 4404와 2일간 동일조성의 MS 액체배지에서 공동배양하여 carbenicillin 500 ㎎/L와 kanamycin 20 ㎎/L가 첨가된 MS 재분화배지로 옮겨 주었을 때 가장 많은 형질전환체를 얻을 수 있었다. PCR 분석결과, PI promoter-GUS 융합 유전자가 형질전환체의 게놈상에 삽입되어 있음을 확인하였다. Southern 분석결과, ECL-labelling된 PI promoter-GUS 융합 유전자 probe의 coding sequence와 동일한 것으로 판단되는 약 366bp 위치에서 밴드를 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 형질 전환되지 않은 식물체에서는 이들 밴드를 확인할 수 없었다. 조직내 GUS 유전자의 활성은 잎부위에서부터 시작하여 엽병과 줄기의 관다발을 중심으로 나타났으며 상처의 정도가 심할수록 높은 편이었고 그 범위도 넓었다.
