Brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens Stål (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), is one of the most important migratory pests damaging rice in Korea. It invades annually from tropical and subtropical areas via continental air streams. It is necessary to determine the resistance levels of rice varieties in order to control efficiency. The honeydew excretion, development, and reproduction of the migratory BPH were studied by region in a laboratory at $25{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ and $65{\pm}5%\;RH$ and a 16L: 8D photoperiodism conducted on three BPH resistant genes: Bph1, Bph2, and Bph18. The information obtained was reported using the jackknife method, and we created life table statistics accordingly. The feeding amount of Bph1 resistant gene was lower than that of resistant genes. The developmental periods of immature stages ranged from $13.7{\pm}0.10d$ on Bph2 (Namhae, 2015) to $18.5{\pm}1.06d$ on Bph2 (Sacheon, 2016). Reproductive period and female longevity were longest on the non-resistant genes, Bph2 and Bph18 (except 1980s), and the highest fecundity of N. lugens was observed on the two BPH resistant genes. Highest net reproductive rates ($R_0$) were calculated on Bph2 by region. Intrinsic rates of population increase ($r_m$) showed a difference in resistant genes by region. These population parameters showed that migratory regions and biological characteristics of N. lugens vary annually.

Tobacco mosaic virus(TMV) coat protein cDNA was transformed to Nicotiana tabacum cv. NC82 and the transgenic tobacco plants resistant to TMV infection were isolated in the next generation. The expression of TMV coat protein cDNA and genetic stability of the fifth generation of TMV resistant transgenic tobacco plants at the higher temperature were investigated. The TMV coat protein cDNA was amplified by genomic PCR in all the TMV resistant transgenic tobacco plants. The TMV coat protein expressed in the transgenic tobacco plants was detected at very low level by immunoblot hybridization. Even in tansgenic plants that showed the viral symptom only on very late sucker growth (delay type plants), the coat protein expression in the suckers was much less than that of susceptible tobacco infected with TMV. The TMV coat protein expressed in the transgenic tobacco plants was below 0.01% of total protein. Transcription and expression of the coat protein cDNA in delay type plants were observbed at high temperature (38$^{\circ}C$), and TMV replication was suppressed at both 28$^{\circ}C$ and 38$^{\circ}C$. This indicates that unlike the resistance conferred by 'N' gene. TMV resistance of transgenic tobacco plant won't break down at high temperature.

후성유전은 DNA 염기 서열이 변화하지 않고 DNA의 메틸화(methyaltion) 및 히스톤 단백질의 변형(modification)등의 후천적 과정에 의해 유전자 발현이 조절되는 현상이다. 특히 DNA 메틸화 정도에 대한 패턴 분석은 후성유전을 이해하는 중요한 접근방법중 하나이다. DNA 메틸화 패턴 분석을 위해 발생에 관련된 123개 유전자들의 -5000bp ~ +200bp사이에 있는 DNA 염기 서열 정보를 추출하였다. 추출한 염기 서열 정보를 기반으로 기존에 알려진 메틸화 경향성 모티프와 메틸화 저항성 모티프를 모니터링 함으로써 발생관련 유전자들의 메틸화 모티프 패턴을 분석하였다. 결과적으로 메틸화 저항 모티프만이 발견되었고 따라서 메틸화 저항 모티프 패턴과 발생관련 유전자들의 상관관계를 분석하였다.

The bialaphos is a potent inhibitor of glutamine synthease in higher plants and is used as a non-selective herbicide. We have used the bialaphos resistant gene(Bar) encoding for an acetyltransferase isolated from Streptomyces hygroscopicus SF1293. Callus derived from mature seeds of rice(Oryza sativa L. cv. Dong Jin) were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA101 carring a plasmid pGPTV-HB containing genes for hygromycin resistance (HygR) and Bar. Transgenic plants showing in vitro resistance to 50 mg/L hygromycin and 10 mg/L bialaphos were obtained by using a two-step selection/regeneration procedure. Transformation efficiency of rice was about 30% which was as high as reported in other dicotyledons. Progenies ($\textrm{T}_{1}$ generation) derived from primary transformant of 17 lines were segregated with a 3 resistant : 1 sensitive ratio in medium containing hygromycin and bialaphos. Stable integration of Bar gene into chromosomal DNA was proven by Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA isolated from $\textrm{T}_{2}$ progenies. Transgenic plants ($\textrm{T}_{3}$) grown in the field were resistant to bialaphos (Basta) at a dosage lethal to wild type plants.

The profenofos-resistant P-Pro strain of house fly (Muscn domestica L.) was derived from the pyraclofos-resistant strain by selecting with profenofos for 7 generations. The resistance was shown to be incompletely dominant by the reciprocal crosses between the resistant and susceptible strains. Linkage group analysis for the dominant factor responsible for this resistance was carried out by the F, male-backcross method, using susceptible multi-chromosomal marker strain. The major factors for profenofos resistance were located on the second and the fifth chromosome and the other chromosomes had a little effect on the development of this resistance. The male determining factor (M) was linked to the third chromosome in this strain.

21세기에는 인구의 폭발적 증가와 함께 가속화된 산업화로 말미암아 경지 면적은 줄고 농업 환경은 더욱 피폐해질 것으로 예상된다. 지금도 이미 화석 에너지원의 고갈로 대체 에너지 개발이 시급히 요구되고 있으며, 지구의 자연 환경 보존 목소리도 그 어느 때 보다 높다. 한마디로 식량, 에너지, 환경 문제가 새 세기에 우리가 시급히 해결해야할 과제로 주어져 있다. 이에 과학계에서는 식량 및 대체 에너지원의 공급을 증대시키고 환경을 보존할 수 있는 보편적인 수단으로 환경 친화적 유전자 변형 (GM)작물의 활용이 제시되고있다. 따라서 선진국들은 이의 기반이 되는 식물유전체 연구에 대규모 투자를 아끼지 않고 있으며, 이를 이 용한 식물 생명공학산업을 국가 전략 산업으로 집중 육성하고 있다. GM작물 제조 기술은 유용 유전자의 발굴 및 재조합, 식물세포로의 이식 및 재분화를 통한 완전한 식물체 재생, 이를 품종으로 실용화하는 단계로 구성되어 있다. GM작물은 1983년 항생제 저항성 담배가 개발된 것을 시점으로 하여, 1994년에는 연화지 연 토마토 Flaver Saver이후 지금까지 개발 실용화된 작물은 제초제 저항성 콩, 카놀라, 목화, 그리고 해충 저항성 옥수수 등이 있으며,2001년까지 세계적으로 상품화 승인을 얻은 경우는 15 작물 68품종에 이른다. 2001년 경우 GM작물 종자시장은 약 30억 달러에 달하고 있으며, 미국, 아르헨티나, 캐나다 등 세계적으로 52.6백만 ha에 이르는 면적에서 재배되었다. 그러나 GM농산물의 식품 및 환경 안전성에 대한 의구심이 일기 시작하였고, 따라서 이의 생산 및 소비에 대한 전반적 인 문제가 뜨거운 쟁점으로 부각되기도 하였다. 이 에 각국 정부는 객관적 인 안전성을 확보하기 위한 제도적인 장치를 마련하고 있으며, 아울러 과학기술자들은 더욱 안전한 형질전환 기술 개발을 도모하고 있다. 다음 세대의 GM작물은 단순한 제초제 및 병해충 저항성을 넘어서서 특정 영양 또는 건강기능성을 향상시켜 부가가치를 증가시킨 신품종 맞춤작물이 지속적으로 개발 상업화될 것이다. 따라서 고유성을 가진 유용 유전자의 대량 확보 여부가 산업적 경쟁력을 결정하게 될 것이다. 지금까지 개별 유전자 중심으로 이루어지던 유용 유전자 발굴 작업은 유전체학의 출현으로 규모가 대량화되고 그 효율이 증진되었다. 따라서 진 각국은 유용 유전자 발굴에 국가적 차원의 역량을 집중하고 있다. 그러나 우리나라는 정부와 민간의 소규모 지원으로 근근히 기술 습득 차원에 머물러 왔으며, 산업적 경쟁력의 무기가 될 고유한 유용 유전자와 형질전환 기술이 거의 없는 어려운 상황에 놓여 있다. 최근 정부가 시작한 생명공학 분야 대규모 연구지원 사업 기대를 모아 보며 이 분야 과학기술자들의 노력을 촉구한다.

Phytophthora root rot (PRR) is a major soybean disease caused by an oomycete, Phytophthora sojae. PRR can be severe in poorly drained fields or wet soils. The disease management primarily relies on resistance genes called Rps (resistance to P. sojae). This study aimed to identify resistance loci associated with resistance to P. sojae isolate 40468 in Daepung × CheonAl recombinant inbred line (RIL) population. CheonAl is resistant to the isolate, while Daepung is generally susceptible. We genotyped the parents and RIL population via high-throughput single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping and constructed a set of genetic maps. The presence or absence of resistance to P. sojae was evaluated via hypocotyl inoculation technique, and phenotypic distribution fit to a ratio of 1:1 (R:S) (χ² = 0.57, p = 0.75), indicating single gene mediated inheritance. Single-marker association and the linkage analysis identified a highly significant genomic region of 55.9~56.4 megabase pairs on chromosome 18 that explained ~98% of phenotypic variance. Many previous studies have reported several Rps genes in this region, and also it contains nine genes that are annotated to code leucine-rich repeat or serine/threonine kinase within the approximate 500 kilobase pairs interval based on the reference genome database. CheonAl is the first domestic soybean genotype characterized for resistance against P. sojae isolate 40468. Therefore, CheonAl could be a valuable genetic source for breeding resistance to P. sojae.

Gray leaf spot (GLS) is a serious fungal disease caused by Pyricularia oryzae Cavara, recently reported on the important turf and forage species, perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenneL.). This fungus also causes rice blast, which is usually controlled by host resistance, but durability of resistance is a problem. Few instances of GLS resistance have been reported in perennial ryegrass. However, two major QTL for GLS resistance have been detected on linkage groups 3 and 6 in an Italian x perennial ryegrass mapping population. To confirm that those QTL are still detectable in the next generation and can function in a different genetic background, a resistant segregant from this population has been crossed with an unrelated susceptible perennial clone, to form a new mapping population segregating for GLS resistance. QTL analysis has been performed in the new population, using two different ryegrass field isolates and RAPD, RFLP, and SSR marker-based linkage maps for each parent. Results indicate the previously identified QTL on linkage group 3 is still significant in the new population, with LOD and percent of phenotypic variance explained ranging from 2.0 to 3.5 and 5% to 10%, respectively. Also two QTL were detected in the susceptible parent, with similar LOD and phenotypic variance explained. Although the linkage group 6 QTL was not detected, the major QTL on linkage group 3 appears to beconfirmed. These results will add to our understanding of the genetic architecture of GLS resistance in ryegrass, which will facilitate its use in perennial ryegrass breeding programs.

A weedy rice, Ganghwaaengmi 11, shows high level of leaf blast resistance. The chromosomal number and locations of genes conferring the leaf blast resistance were detected by QTL (quantitative trait loci) analysis using SSR markers in the 120 RILs (recombinant inbred lines) derived from the cross between Nagdongbyeo and Ganghwaaengmi 11. Ganghwaaengmi 11 expressed compatibility with 20 of the 45 inoculated blast isolates, in contrast to Nagdongbyeo with 44 compatible isolates. To identify QTLs affecting partial resistance, RILs were assessed in upland blast nursery in three regions and inoculated with selected nine blast isolates. QTLs for resistance to blast isolates were identified on chromosomes 7, 11 and 12. Three QTLs associated with blast resistance in nursery test at three regions were also detected on chromosomes 7, 11 and 12. The QTL commonly detected on chromosome 12 was only increased blast resistance by Ganghwaaengmi 11 allele. This QTL accounted for 60.3~78.6% of the phenotypic variation in the blast nursery test. OSR32 and RM101 markers tightly linked to QTL for blast resistance on chromosome 12 might be useful for marker-assisted selection (MAS) and gene pyramiding to improve the blast resistance of japonica rice.
