Bromoxynil은 쌍떡잎 특이적 제초제로써 폭 넓게 이용되고 있으며 반감기가 매우 짧다. Bromoxynil을 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzoic acid로 분해하는 nitrilase를 암호화한 bxn 유전자를 식물 벡터인 pGA482에 도입하고 Agrobacterium과의 동시배양을 통해 담배와 상추에 형질전환하였다. Kanamycin을 이용해 형질전환 식물체를 선별하고 완전한 식물체로 분화시켰다. Northern hybridization을 통해 bxn 유전자의 발현정도를 검정하고 liaf-disc와 pot assay를 통해 형질전환 식물체가 고농도의 bromoxynil에 저항성을 보임을 확인하였다.

Collagen에 의해 유도되는 류마티스 관절염을 저해하는 효과가 있는 인간 histone 단백질 Hl.5 (hHl.5)를 산화스트레스 유도성 SWPA2 프로모터에 연결하여 형질전환 담배(Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Bright Yellow-2) 배양세포주를 개발하였다. hH1.5 유전자는 Agrobacterium 매개 형질전환 방법으로 담배 BY-2 배양세포에 도입되었다. 형질전환 캘러스는 150mg/L kanamycin과 300mg/L claforan이 포함된 변형된 MS 선발배지에서 선발하여, PCR분석으로 hHl.5 유전자의 도입을 확인하였다. 형질전환 현탁배양세포에서 hH1.5 단백질의 발현은 northern 분석과 Western 분석으로 확인하였는데, 담배배양세포에서 재조합hHl.5 단백질 (42 kDa)은 인간의 것 (32 kDa)과는 다른 크기의 단백질이 확인되었다. 금후 재조합 hH1.5 단백질의 자세한 특성규명이 요구된다.

Developmental anomalies in the plumule meristem of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) somatic embryos resulted in poor shoot differentiation and reduced plant recovery. Existing meristems with caulogenic potential have never been tested for embryogenesis in peanut. The present experiment was designed to test the mature zygotic embryo axis derived plumule with three meristems for somatic embryogenesis. Embryogenic masses and embryos developed from the caulogenic meristems in the axils. Exposure of 2 weeks in primary medium with $90.5{\mu}M$ 2,4-D suppressed the shoot tip differentiation temporarily which then regained the ability to form the shoot on withdrawal of 2,4-D. Exposure of 4 weeks in primary medium with $90.5{\mu}M$ 2,4-D suppressed the shoot tip differentiation irreversibly. No shoot formation was noted from the tips in any of the cultures which were in secondary medium with $13.6{\mu}M$ 2,4-D. Development of somatic embryos directly from axillary meristems was confirmed histologically. Conversion frequency of these embryos was 11%. Thus, in this report, we describe a method to obtain somatic embryos from the determined organogenic buds of the axillary meristem, by culturing the nodal explant vertically on embryo induction medium. It also displays the possibility of obtaining both embryogenic and organogenic potential in two parts of the same explant simultaneously. The possibility of extending this approach for genetic transformation in in vivo system through direct DNA delivery or Agrobacterium injection in meristems can also be explored. Using Agrobacterium rhizogenes, we have demonstrated the possibility of gene transfer in the axillary meristems of seed-derived plumule explant.

The quorum sensing (QS) inhibitors that antagonize TraR, a receptor protein for N-3-oxo-octanoyl-L-homoserine lactones (3-oxo-C8-HSL), a QS signal of Agrobacterium tumefaciens were developed. The structural analogues of 3-oxo-C8-HSL were designed by in silico molecular modeling using SYBYL packages, and synthesized by the solid phase organic synthesis (SPOS) method, where the carboxamide bond of 3-oxo-C8-HSL was replaced with a nicotinamide or a sulfonamide bond to make derivatives of N-nicotinyl-L-homoserine lactones or N-sulfonyl-L-homoserine lactones. The in vivo inhibitory activities of these compounds against QS signaling were assayed using reporter systems and compared with the estimated binding energies from the modeling study. This comparison showed fairly good correlation, suggesting that the in silico interpretation of ligand-receptor structures can be a valuable tool for the pre-design of better competitive inhibitors. In addition, these inhibitors also showed anti-biofilm activities against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

A micro organism Agrobacterium tumifacient as an immobilized cell on a solid support was presented as a new biosorbent in a simple and sensitive spectrophotometry determination of Ni(II) in various samples using 4-hydroxy benzaldehyde-4-bromophenyl hydrazone as a color developing agent (λmax 497 nm) at pH 4.0 ± 0.2. Beer's law was obeyed over the range of 0.01-0.1 μg L-1. The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity were 1.285 × 105 L mol-1cm-1 and 0.007245 μg cm-2 respectively. Under these conditions, the preconcentration factor obtained was 82, and the detection limit achieved was 0.05 μg L-1. The detailed study of various interfering ions made the method more sensitive and selective. The recovery of Ni(II) from various samples range from 97.75 to 99.35%. The present method was successfully applied for the determination of Ni(II) in spiked, natural water and alloy samples. The proposed method was compared with reported methods in terms of Student's ‘t'-test and Variance ratio ‘f'-test which indicates that there is no significant difference between proposed and literature method at 95% confidence level.

Transformant construction using protoplasts requires less sample preparation time than particle bombardment and Agrobacterium-mediated transfection. There are two protoplast transfection methods: the PEG-mediated transfection method and the Lipofectamine transfection method. When Lipofectamine is mixed with DNA, Lipofectamine surrounds DNA like a cell membrane because of the positive charge of Lipofectamine. The Lipofectamine-DNA complex makes DNA insertion into cells easier. Fectin has similar functions to lipofectamine and is less expensive than lipofectamine. The 3D-fectin technology has been highlighted in animal cell transfection. Therefore, we performed PEG-mediated transfection, Lipofectamine transfection, and 3D-pectin transfection with a GFP construct. Protoplasts were isolated using the first leaf of "Bobwhite" after 4 hours of incubation in an isolation Buffer (cellulase + macerozyme). Protoplasts transformed by each method were cultured for 48 hours, and then GFP fluorescence expression was confirmed under confocal microscopy. GFP signals were detected in PEG-mediated transfection and Lipofectamine transfection. And the GFP signals were also detected in protoplasts to which 3D-fectin technology was applied, suggesting that 3D-fectin technology can be used for plant protoplast transfection.

As an alternative method to produce low cost reagents for immunodiagnosis and protect the plants from viral disease, a gene encoding a single chain variable fragment(scFv) recombinant antibody targeted to the coat protein of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was expressed in Nacotiana tabacum. The source of the scFv recombinant antibody gene was from spleen tissue of an immunized mouse. The gene was initially cloned into the pCANTAB5E phagemid and expressed in E. coli. In the following study, the antibody gene was subcloned into the plant expression vector, pCAMBIA-1301 and introduced into tobacco leaf tissue via Agrobacterium tumefacients mediated transformation. After transformation, 56 out of 58 plants were shown to carry the desired anti-CMV scFv gene by PCR analysis. Overall, only 12.5% of the 56 putative transgenic plants were found to express the antibody to a detectable level.

Viral coat protein (CP) encoding cDNA with artificial start and stop codons was synthesized by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from the Korean isolate of potato virus Y-vein nectrosis strain (pVY-VN). To make PVY CP cDNA to untranslatable form, three stop codons were inserted near the start codon by "megaprimer-PCR" method. The untranslatable CP cDNA was subcloned to plant expression vector and transferred to N. tabacum cv. NC82 by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Highly resistant plants to PVY infection were screened, based on symptom development after mechanical virus inoculation. By genomic PCR and Southern blot analysis, one or more copies of the untranslatable CP gene were found in all transformants. From northern blot analysis, highly resistant transgenic lines had very low level of CP transcript but susceptible lines had high level, suggesting resistance to PVY infection should be related to RNA-mediated mechanism.mechanism.

We tried to introduce two forsythia genes related in lignan biosynthesis, dirigent protein and pinoresinol/lariciresinol (Ph) reductase, into potatoes for accumulation of lignans in transgenic potatoes. We made binary vectors overexpressing dirigent protein gene and P/L reductase gene driven by a CaMV35S promoter and transformed into potatoes via Agrobacterium mediated transformation. And in order to control the metabolic flux of lignan biosynthesis pathway, we tried to inhibit chalcone synthase genes of potatoes by antisense inhibition technique also. We tried to use PCR screening method for selection of transgenic plants of different vectors. We tried to determine and compare lignan contents from different transgenic potato lines.
