Abstract

Potato is the 4th important crop along with rice, wheat and maize. It contains high quality of starch with relatively high content of vitamin C and protein. However, there is a nutritionally limiting factor due to a low level of sulphur-containing essential amino acid including methionine and cysteine. Recently, recombinant DNA technology and metabolic engineering with genes involved in the bio-synthetic pathway have been applied to enhance the level of these essential amino acids. In this report, it has been discussed about the current status and bottleneck on the development of transgenic potato containing high level of sulphur-containing essential amino acids.

감자는 벼, 보리, 밀과 함께 세계 4 대 식량작물에 속하며 고품질의 전분과 함께 비타민 C 함량이 높고 단백질의 함량도 높다. 그러나 메티오닌과 시스테인 등의 황 함유 아미노산과 함께 필수아미노산이 부족하여 영양학적으로 가치가 다소 낮다는 것이 단점이다. 따라서 최근에는 유전자재조합 기술 및 대사공학기술을 이용하여 이들 필수아미노산의 함량을 증대시키기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 황 함유 필수 아미노산의 함량을 증가시키기 위한 연구현황 및 문제점 등을 조사하였다.
