Abstract

BcGRl gene encoding cytosolic glutathione reductase of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris var. Pekinensis cv. Seoul) was placed under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter and introduced into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun) via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. T$_{0}$ 32 independent plants transformed with BcGRl gene were selected with kanamycin and they were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blot analysis. Northern blot analysis revealed that the constitutive expression of BcGRl gene and there was no relationship between the copy number of introduced gene and the levels of BcGRl transcripts.

배추 유래의 cytosolic glutathione reductase 유전자 (BcGR1)의 지속적 발현과 형질전환 식물체의 oxidative stress에 대한 내성과의 관계를 분석하기 위하여, BcGR1 유전자를 CaMV 35S promoter의 하류에 연결한 다음, 담배에 형질전환하였다. PCR 및 Southern blot 분석을 통하여 BcGR1 유전자가 정상적으로 삽입된 32 계통의 T$_{0}$ 식물체를 선발하였다. Northern blot 분석 결과, 도입된 유전자가 형질 전환 식물체 내에서 항상적으로 발현된다는 것을 확인하였으며, 도입 유전자의 copy number와 발현량 사이에는 정의 상관관계를 보이지 않았다.
