Transformation of ginseng plants was achieved by biolistic system with cotyledon explants and callus using phosphinothricin acetyl-transferase (PAT) gene resisting to a herbicide of Bialaphos. The binary vector for transformation was constructed with disarmed Ti-plasmid and with double 355 promoter. The introduced NPT II and PAT genes of the transgenic ginseng plants were successfully identified by the PCR, and the survival test on the medium with basta. The transgenic ginseng plants were propagated using repetitive secondary embryogenesis. The transgenic ginseng plantlets had normal structures of roots and shoots, and dormant buds for new year sprouting. We transferred the transgenic plants to greenhouse and observed the continuing growth until a new year.

Two problematic subgenera of Tomoceridae (Collembola, Insecta) were investigated for their phylogenetic relationships based on morphological characters and allozyme study from three relevant species. Different dendrograms were obtained obtained between morphological and allozyme studies. The morphological data did not give rise to any result distinctive enough to separate the two subgenera whereas the allozyme analysis produced a clear separation by the high genetic distance value. They were consistent, however, whether given rise to by using distance or cladistic methods and also whether character weighting or unweighting approaches employed in the morphological character analysis. As a consequence, it is strongly suggested that any prominent morphological trait might work as a good taxonomical character when supported by a strong genetic divergence as evidenced by allozyme analysis for instance.

This study was carried out to establish genetic transformation of Rot 3 gene into perilla plants and to evaluate aromatic compounds, brightness, anthocyanin contents and leaf index in Rot 3 overexpressing transgenic lines. Rot 3 transmitted successfully from T$_1$ to T$_2$ generation showing stable gene expression. It revealed that there was no difference between transgenic and non-transgenic plants in major agronomic characteristics of progeny analysis. There was not much difference in aromatic compounds and leaf brightness did not showed variations between transgenic and non-transgenic, but leaf index was distinguished, respectively.

Comparative studies on external morphology and anatomical characters were conducted understand the interspecific relationships and possibly to identify the position of Hanabusaya asiatica as an endemic genus among 4 genera and 9 species in H. asiatica and its allied groups. Such morphological characteristics as root shape, leaf size, presence or absence of wings in petiole, corolla and calyx shape, and inflorescence and stigma shape were useful qualitative characters. The morphology of stem, peduncle, calyx lobe, leaf, petiole, and ovary were also good characters to be included in this identification study. In the anatomical observations in these organs, projecting degree of epidermis and number of projecting area rather than cross-sectioned internal structures were found to be valuable index for the classification among species. External morphology and anatomical characters support the position of H. asiatica as an endemic genus very well. Known as the most important external characters to taxonomists(Fedorov, 1957: Nakai, 1952: Hong, 1983), leaf arrangement, inflorescence, and corolla shape were also preven to be very useful characters to identify the genera and species in the H. asiatica and its allied groups.

The purpose of this study was to estimate heritabilities and genetic correlations for reproductive and productive traits and to apply their estimates to selection strategies in a swine population. Reproductive and productive traits considered in this study were number of born alive piglet (NBA), number of weaned piglet (NW), loin eye area (LEA), days to 90 kg (D90KG), back fat thickness (BF), and lean meat content (LEAN). Data were collected from 9,886 litters on 2,447 sows for reproductive traits and 10,181 gilts and boars for productive traits from Jan. 2000 to Dec. 2008 in a swine GGP farm. The statistical model to estimate genetic parameters for considering traits was a multiple traits animal model with including animal and maternal additive effects and litter effects on reproductive traits and animal additive effects on productive traits as random as well as some of fixed effects. For estimating (co) variance components of several random effects, restricted maximum likelihood methodology was used on this assumed model. The estimated heritabilities by animal additive effects and maternal effects were 0.07 and 0.02 for NBA and 0.03 and 0.02 for NW, respectively. Genetic correlation estimate for direct genetic effects between NBA and NW was 0.14. Heritability estimates for direct genetic effects were 0.19, 0.39, 0.36, and 0.43 for LEA, D90KG, BF and LEAN, respectively. The genetic correlation of LEA with LEAN was 0.35. Productive traits were antagonistically correlated with reproductive traits. From these results it is concluded that, if selection is done for strong positive effects of reproductive traits, then this would decline productive performance.

본 연구는 사람 조혈촉진유전자(hEPO)가 도입된 형질전환돼지 Fl 수컷과 암컷간 교배로 F2 생산시, Fl 모돈에 대한 임신기간(약 114일)내 혈액조성(적혈구, 백혈구, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit value, MCV, MCH, MCHC, 혈소판) 변화를 구명하기 위하여 실시하였다. 시험에 이용된 암퇘지는 형질전환 F1 암컷 2마리와 일반돼지 1마리였고 교배와 동시에 임신기간동안(114일) 5일 간격으로 5ml의 혈액을 경정맥(jugular vein)에서 채취하였으며 혈액조성분석은 Celltac MEK 5108K(Nihon Kohden, Japan)를 이용하였는데 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 임신기간중 혈액내 백혈구의 변화는 일반돼지의 경우 13.8($\pm$2.4)$\times$$10^3$/ul 로임신기간내에 일정한 변화양상을 보였으나 형질전환돼지의 경우 29.4($\pm$19.4)$\times$$10^3$와 22.5($\pm$14.1)$\times$$10^3$/ul 으로 일반돼지보다는 높게 나타났으며 임신기간내에 매우 높은 변화 양상을 나타내었다. 또한 적혈구는 일반돼지(7.2$\pm$0.7 $\times$$10^{6}$/ul)에 비하여 형질전환돼지(11.5$\pm$0.5 와 11.9$\pm$0.5 $\times$$10^{6}$ul)에서 매우 높게 나타났으며 변화양상은 일반돼지와 마찬가지로 작게 나타났다. 적혈구와 함께 Hemoglobin(Hb)과 평균혈구용적율(Hematocrit value ;, HCT) 모두 형질전환돼지가 일반돼지보다 높게 나타났으며 변화양상 또한 작게 나타남으로서 사람 조혈촉진유전자(hEPO)가 형질전환된 돼지에서는 지속적으로 발현되어 조혈촉진이 이루어지고 있으며, 조혈촉진에 의해 헤모글로빈 및 적혈구가 생성되어 혈액내 높은 혈구용적율(HCT)을 이루고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 적혈구 평균용적(Mean Corpuscular Volume ; MCV), 평균적혈구혈색소량(Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin ; MCH), 평균적혈구혈색소농도(Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration ; MCHC) 그리고 혈소판(Platelets) 분석결과 형질전환돼지가 일반돼지보다 약간 높은 수치를 나타냈으며 변화양상 또한 유사한 결과를 나타내었다. 이와 같은 시험분석결과를 토대로 사람 조혈촉진유전자(hEPO)가 형질전환된 돼지는 유즙으로 발현할 수 있도록 형질전환 되었음에도 불구하고 헤모글로빈 및 적혈구가 증가함으로서 형질전환돼지 개체의 혈장으로도 사람 조혈촉진인자가 분비하고 있음을 간접적으로 알 수 있었다. 정상돼지 보다 형질전환돼지가 약 30% 높은HCT 수준을 보였으며 이러한 현상은 사람에서는 적혈구증다증(erythrocytosis)으로 분류되고 있다. 이에 대한 고찰은 형질전환돼지 자체의 생리적 문제점(side effects)에 대한 해결과 더불어 기존의 인간질병에 대한 모델동물로서의 이용 가능성을 제시할 수 있는 것으로 사료된다.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of environments (farms born, testing groups, age at the tests, date at slaughter, ages at slaughter) on body weights at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of ages, body type measurements at 18 months of age and carcass characteristics in Hanwoo steer populations that were collected from commercial farms and reared in a progeny testing station. Performances of a total of 1,838 steer calves set for tests from 2004 to 2008 were recorded. Carcass characteristics were the carcass grading results evaluated and data collected slaughter scores at 24 months of age. For growth traits of all age classes and body type traits measured at 18 months of age, farms born, test group and linear covariate of age at test were fit in the models. For carcass traits, date at slaughter and linear covariate of ages at slaughter were fit in the models. Effect of farm at birth was not significant for body weight at 24 months of age. Carcass weight, eye muscle area, yield score and back fat thickness were affected by dates at slaughter but not by the ages at slaughter. Marbling score, however, was affected by these two effects. Farms at birth did not seem to affect body type measures greatly. This study will be utilized for Hanwoo Steers genetic evaluation.
