This study was carried out to determine the antimutagenic effect of soybean sprouts cultured in water containing germanium by Ames test and SOS chromotest. Germanium significantly inhibited the mutagenicity induced by aflatoxin B$_1$ (AFB$_1$) in Salmonella typhimurium TA100 by Ames test, and 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4-NQO) in SOS chromotest. Juice from germanium treated soybean sprouts (GTS) inhibited 57∼75% mutagenicity induced by AFB$_1$, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and 4-NQO compared with 20∼48% inhibition rate of control soybean sprouts (germanium non-treated soybean sprouts, GNTS) in the Ames test. Also, methanol extracts from GTS inhibited 65% mutagenicity induced by AFB$_1$ in Salmonella typhimurium TA100, and 51% mutagenicity by 4-NQO in SOS chromotest. Therefore, it suggests that GTS has strong potential antimutagenic effect.

In vivo Drosophilla 돌연변이 검출계에서 발생 단계상의 독성효과가 없는 범위에서 소금 및 젓갈을 단독 처리했을 때 모든 시료가 자연발생 빈도가 유사하게 나타났다. MNNG의 체세포 돌연변이 유발에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과 생멸치, 6개월간 속성된 멸치 12개월된 멸치액젓은 항돌연변이효과를 보였고, 발효하지 않은 소금에 절인 멸치는 small muh spots 와 large mwh spots 의 출현빈도에 대해 모두 보돌연변이 효과를 보였다. 따라서 멸치 젓갈 제조시 멸치에 소금이 첨가되어 (생젓갈) 돌연변이 유발이 일어날 가능성이 있지만 숙성기간이 길어지면 (12개월, 익은 젓갈) 오히려 항돌연변이효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

살균제 Captan, 살충제 Diazinon, MEP, Malathion 및 EPN 의 단독 처리 그리고 Captan 반복처리와 이들 살충제와 서로 다른 조합으로의 동시적, 시간적 복합처리가 E. coli WP2S(uvrA-, trp-) 균주의 돌연변이유발 빈도 및 생잔율에 미치는 영향을 검토하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Captan, Diazinon, MEP, Malathion, EPN 및 UV 의 동시적 복합처리는 이들 농약의 단독 처리에서 보다 E. coli WP2S (uvrA-, trp-)균주의 돌연변이유발빈도가 높았고 이들 농약의 단독처리효과를 합한 가산적 영향으로 나타났으며, 동일조건하에서 이들 농약의 처리농도를 배로 늘렸을 때는 배가효과를 보였으나 이 균주의 증가된 돌연변이 유발빈도는 cinnamaldehyde 30ng 및 60ng/ml 그리고 tannic acid 50ng/ml 배지로 각각 첨가했을 때 감소되었고 생잔율은 증가되었다.

The mutation operation is the main operation in the evolutionary programming which has been widely used for the optimization of real valued function. In general, the mutation operation utilizes both a probability distribution and its parameter to change values of variables, and the parameter itself is subject to its own mutation operation which requires other parameters. However, since the optimal values of the parameters entirely depend on a given problem, it is rather hard to find an optimal combination of values of parameters when there are many parameters in a problem. To solve this shortcoming at least partly, if not entirely, in this paper, we propose a new mutation operation in which the parameter for the variable mutation is theoretically estimated from the self-adaptive perspective. Since the proposed algorithm estimates the scale parameter of the Cauchy probability distribution for the mutation operation, it has an advantage in that it does not require another mutation operation for the scale parameter. The proposed algorithm was tested against the benchmarking problems. It turned out that, although the relative superiority of the proposed algorithm from the optimal value perspective depended on benchmarking problems, the proposed algorithm outperformed for all benchmarking problems from the perspective of the computational time.

To investigate the antimutagenic effect of Platycodon grandiflorum DC, methanol extract of Platycodon grandiflorum DC was investigated. In Ames test, the methanol extract showed inhibitory effects of 80-90% on the mutagenicity induced by indirect mutagen of IQ(2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline) and direct mutatgen of MNNG(N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine) in Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 and TA 100. And then the methanol extract was further fractionated. Among the solvent extracted fractions from the methanol extract, the ethyl acetate fraction and butanol fraction exhibited the greatest antimutagenic effect suppressing the mutagenicity IQ and MNNG with inhibition rate of 99% and 98%.

Mutation rate of M$_2$ plants that were treated with three types of double treatments of chemical mutagens(1.5mol Na$N_2$ ＋ 0.75mol MNH, 0.75mol MNH ＋ 0.75mol MNH and 0.5mol MNH ＋ 0.5mol MNH) were estimated on the rate of chlorophyll mutant, changes of isozyme loci ; esterase (Est), glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase(GOT ; AAT) and leucyl aminopeptydase(LAP ; AMP). Rate of chlorophyll mutants (3.3％ =no. of seedling carrying mutant / all number of M$_2$ seedlings $\times$ 100) and rate of esterase isozyme loci mutants(3.5％ =no. of plant carrying mutant / all number of M$_2$ plant) in Dema were higher than one of Sacheon 6, but no significant differences in GOT, LAP. Among isozymes, most of mutants in M$_2$ plant of two varieties were found in esterase (73％ of total mutants were occurred in esterase loci). Although many of null bands were found in GOT 3, these were not repeatable and no real mutants. It might be due to qualities of starch, amount of extract buffer and degradation of isozyme during electrophoresis and staining.

We conducted a seed germination screening under saline conditions to identify salt tolerance(sto) mutants with ethyl methane sulfonate(EMS) mutagenesis seed pool. During the screening, we identified three mutant lines that seemed to confer elevated salt tolerance in high concentrations of NaCl. At 175 mM NaCl, germination rate of sto42-14 mutant(one of the EMS salt tolerance mutants) was 7-fold higher than that of wild-type plants. Interestingly, sto42-14 mutant exhibited insensitivity to high glucose concentration and growth inhibition to gibberellin. Our results suggest that sto42-14 is involved in salt stress tolerance as well as in glucose and gibberellin response in Arabidopsis.

The Arabidopsis mutants involved in chloroplast development were induced by seed treatment of diepoxybutane which was rarely known mutagenic compound in plant mutagenesis. Three kinds of mutants designated as iml, gev, and yev were represented by the characteristics of variegated leaves, green vein with yellow leaves, and yellow green vein with green leaves respectively. We investigated the ultrastructure of chloroplast in mutated regions using transmission electron microscopy. The ultrastructure of chroloplast in wildtype showed regularly stacked grana thylakoid and stroma thylakoid while iml, gev and yev mutants displayed different shapes of grana stacking and stroma stacking of chloroplasts. Genetic analysis of three chloroplast mutants exhibit that divergent traits were ruled by a single recessive nuclear gene.

20 pesticides induding 11 insecticides, 5 herbicides and 4 fungicides have been tested for mutagenic activity in the Salmonella microsome system. It was found that Captan showed strong mutagenic activity directly in TA 1535, TA 100 and TA 98 strains, indicating that it induces both base substitution and frame shift mutation. With microsomal activation system, mutagenicity of Captan was slightly decreased. Micut, Dimethoate and Triforine revealed slight mutagenicity in TA100 without microsmal enzyme activtion.

DNA 복제는 굉장한 정확도를 가지고 이루어진다. 하지만 내, 외부적인 여러 요인으로 돌연변이가 일어나기도 한다. 그 중 토토머화에 의해 치환 돌연변이가 일어난다는 가설은 오래전부터 그 가능성이 논의되어 왔고, 직접적인 증거를 찾으려는 노력도 있어 왔다. 토토머화에 의하여 DNA염기가 다른 형으로 변하면 왓슨-크릭 염기쌍 (아데닌-타이민, 시토신-구아닌이 수소결합한 염기쌍)이 아닌 다른 염기쌍이 생성될 수 있다. 이 염기쌍이 기준이 되어 DNA가 복제되기 때문에 결과적으로 전이 돌연변이(transition), 혹은 전환 돌연변이(transversion)된 염기쌍이 생성될 수 있다. 우리는 이런 사례 중에 염기쌍의 전이 돌연변이를 중심으로 연구하고자 한다. A-T염기쌍중 하나가 지배적인 아민형(amine form)이 아니라 이민형(imine form)으로 존재할 때 아민형과는 다른 수소결합이 가능해지며 보통 잘 생성되지 않는 A-C, G-T결합이 생성될 수 있다. 이후 그 염기쌍이 기준이 되어 DNA가 복제될 때에는 왓슨-크릭 염기쌍이 주로 생성되어 A-T염기쌍이 G-C 염기쌍으로 치환되는 DNA가닥이 생기게 된다. 우리는 이러한 과정을 에너지와 반응속도 측면에 집중하여 분석해보았다. 계산 결과, $A-C^*$, $A^*-C$, $G-C^*$, $G^*-C$의 염기쌍 생성이 왓슨-크릭 염기쌍과 비슷하거나 더 큰 정도로 에너지 면에서 유리하였으며 대부분의 돌연변이가 에너지 측면에서 보았을 때 $A-C^*$ 염기쌍을 통하여 생김을 알 수 있었다. 계산된 값은 약 $10^{-6}$ 정도의 빈도를 보였다.
