초록

옥수수(Zea mays)는 단성화 식물로서 암꽃과 수꽃이 한 식물체내에 분리되어서 존재하며 수정시 이질성을 높이는 방향으로 진화되었다. 암꽃과 수꽃 각각은 단성화 상태로 분화하기 전에 한 개의 암술과 세 개의 수술 원시세포가 동일하게 형성된다. 옥수수가수꽃으로 분화할 때는 암술 원시세포에서 세포사멸 현상이 일어나는데 이것은 TASSELSEED 유전자들에 의해 매개된다. 이와 대조적으로 암꽃의 암술에서는 TASSELSEED 유전자들에 의한 세포사멸이 억제되는데 여기에는 SILKLESS1 유전자가 관여한다. 한편, 암꽃의 수술에서는 세포주기 멈춤 현상이 오랜 시간 지속되다가 결국에는 수술이 죽게 된다. 이때 세포주기를 조절하는 유전자인 CYCLIN B 와 WEE1 유전자가 이 과정에 참여한다. 이와 더불어, 지베렐린 생합성의 시간적 공간적 조절이 수술의 세포주기 멈춤의 원인이 된다. 본 총설에서는 옥수수의 성 결정 과정 중에 일어나는 세포사멸, 세포 방어, 세포주기 멈춤에 대하여 분자세포 발생 생물학 및 유전학적인 견지에서 고찰하였다.

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a monoecious plant, which separates male (tassel) and female (ear) floret that evolved into increasing heterogeneity. In each floret, male or female, bears both one pistil and three stamens primodia before diverged to unisexual state. When diverged to tassel, pistil cell death occurs in the pistil primodium, which is mediated by TASSELSEED genes. In contrast, cell protection occurs in the ear pistil from TASSELSEED-mediated cell death, which is mediated by SILKLESS1 gene. On the other hand, cell cycle arrest occurred for a long time in the ear stamens and then the stamens eventually dye. The cell cycle regulating genes such as CYCLIN B and WEE1 are involved in this process. Furthermore, the temporal and spatial regulation of gibberellin biosynthesis may cause cell cycle block in arresting stamen cells. This review describes the cell death, cell protection, and cell cycle arrest mechanism during maize sex determination process at the molecular, cellular and developmental biology, and genetic levels.
