배추 종자 및 유묘에 대하여 GUS발현 또는 hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)발현 벡터를 지니는 Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 세포를 이용하여 진공침윤(agroinfiltration)에 의한 형질전환을 시도하였다. 특히 ELISA를 이용한 HBsAg발현의 정량적 분석에서 agroinfiltration방법은 형질전환효율이 매우 저조하게 나타났다. 그러나 차아염소산나트륨 용액을 발아 전 또는 발아 중인 배추종자에 처리한 후 agroinfiltration을 실시한 경우 형질전환 효율이 $2\~5$배 증가하였다. 따라서 차아염소산나트륨 등의 화학연마제에 의한 종자의 상처발생이 Agrobacterium의 감염을 용이하게 함으로써 배추유묘에서의 일시유전자발현을 증대시키는 것으로 제안되고있다.

분자육종의 목적을 위하여 Agrobacterium을 이용한 Brassica napus 식물의 유전적 형질전환은 폭 넓게 시행되어 왔다. B. napus cv. napus는 유지작물의 하나이면서 이 또한 Agrobacterium을 이용한 형질전환이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 agroinfiltration방법을 이용시 유채유묘의 형질전환이 낯은 효율로 나타나고 있으며 이는 fluorometric GUS assay에 의하여 판단되었다. 대조적으로 유채유묘에 대하여 sodium hydrosulfite 용액을 agroinfiltration 과정 이전에 처리할 경우 형질전환율이 상당히 증가하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. RT-PCR에 의한 GUS유전자발현의 확인을 통하여 유채유도를 이용한 일시발현체계의 개발가능성을 제시하였다.

We investigated chemical-wounding effect on Agrobacterium-mediated Chinese cabbage transformation via vacuum infiltration. Pre-germinated or germinating Chinese cabbage seeds were infiltrated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 cells carrying either GUS gene (pBI121) or hepatitis B virus surface antigen DNA (pBIHBsAg). Prior to agroinfiltration process, the seeds were soaked in sodium hydrosulfite (SHS) solution or just in sterile water as a control. Comparative transformation efficiency was determined by both of histochemistry and ELISA. We could demonstrate that SHS solution treatment especially to 1-day or 2-days old germinating seeds efficiently improved transformation process, and therefore, transient expression level. This strongly indicated that Agrobacterium infection could be facilitated indeed by SHS-causing wounds on Chinese cabbage seeds.

Cotyledonary leaves of tomato cv. Megha were transformed with the hepatitis B virus 's' gene, which encodes surface antigen. Six plant expression cassettes (pHBS, pHER, pEFEHBS, pEFEHER, pSHER and pEFESHER) were used to assay the possible expression levels by agroinfiltration. The maximum transient expression level of 489.5 ng/g D.W. was noted in pEFEHER-infiltrated cotyledonary leaves. Transgenic tomato plants with pEFEHBS and pEFEHER expression cassettes were regenerated and characterized by molecular analysis. The expression of the antigen in the fruits was confirmed by RT-PCR and ELISA analysis. This is the first report on the expression of hepatitis B surface antigen in tomato.

The full-length sequence of a new isolate of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) from Korea was divergent, but most closely related to the Japanese isolate A4, at 84% nucleotide identity. The full-length cDNA of the Korean isolate of ACLSV was cloned into a binary vector downstream of the bacteriophage T7 RNA promoter and the Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. Chenopodium quinoa was successfully infected using in vitro transcripts synthesized using the T7 promoter, detected at 20 days post inoculation (dpi), but did not produce obvious symptoms. Nicotiana occidentalis and C. quinoa were inoculated through agroinfiltration. At 32 dpi the infection rate was evaluated; no C. quinoa plants were infected by agroinfiltration, but infection of N. occidentalis was obtained.

Diverse epigenetic phenotypes are frequently found during research on transgenic plants. To understand the factors underlying such diversity, hundreds of independent 35S-GFP transgenic N. benthamiana plants were analyzed. The diverse GFP-expression phenotypes of the transgenic plants were classified into three major types based on the GFP expression patterns and their response to 35S-GFP agroinfiltration: steady-green, silenced and non-uniform phenotype. The non-uniform phenotype was further sub-divided into five minor phenotypes: variegated, red-dropped, on-silencing, partitioned and misty, according to the distribution of GFP expression on the leaves. Many of transgenic plants continuously generated diverse phenotypes over several generations despite the transgene identity. Such epigenetic GFP phenotyping was found to be the result of spontaneous transgene silencing mediated by either or both of post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) and transcriptional gene silencing (TGS). This finding was verified by the detection of 21- and 24-nt small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules, and DNA methylation in the transgenic plants that showed repeated epigenetic variation. Agroinfiltration demonstrated that irregular distribution of GFP on a leaf was the result of erratic transgene silencing, and the technique also proved to be a rapid and effective method for selecting fully silenced plants within 3 days. Furthermore, two novel phenotypes described are potential materials for in-depth investigations into the genes and mechanisms responsible for spontaneous transgene silencing.

국내에서 채집한 5종의 토마토황화잎말림바이러스(Tomato yellow leaf curl virus, TYLCV) 분리주들에 대하여 PCR법을 이용하여 염기서열을 결정하였다. 전체 유전체의 1.9배 복제수를 가지는 감염성 클론을 제작하기 위하여, PCR로 증폭된 TYLCV DNA를 식물형질전환용 벡터에 각각 도입시켰다. TYLCV 저항성 평가를 위하여 저항성 토마토 시판 품종과 육성 계통을 각각 TYLCV 분리주를 가지고 있는 Agrobacterium tumefaciens로 접종하였다. 감수성 품종인 'Super-sunroad' 품종은 접종 30일 후에 상엽에 황화, 위축 증상을 나타낸 반면, TYLCV에 대한 저항성유전자들로 알려진 Ty-1 또는 Ty-3 유전자를 포함하고 있는 TY12, GC9, GC171, GC173 등의 토마토 육성 계통은 전신 잎에 TYLCV 병징 발현이 없었으므로 이들 계통은 TYLCV 저항성으로 판별되었다. Agroinfiltration을 통한 접종 30일에 감수성 품종과 저항성 품종 간에 TYLCV 병징 차이가 뚜렷하였다. 특이적 프라이머들을 이용한 실시간 PCR법에 의해 TY12, GC9, GC171, GC173 육성 계통에서 TYLCV DNA가 검출되었지만, 저항성 계통에서 TYLCV DNA 축적 수준은 감수성 토마토 품종에서의 TYLCV DNA 축적 수준보다 매우 낮았다. 유사한 병징 세기 및 TYLCV DNA 축적 수준이 담배가루이를 통하여 감수성과 저항성 토마토 품종 및 육성 계통에 TYLCV를 감염시켰을 때에도 관찰되었다. Agroinfiltration 시 아그로박테리움의 농도는 토마토 품종의 TYLCV 저항성 반응에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구결과들은 agroinfiltration을 통한 TYLCV 접종이 담배가루이를 통한 TYLCV 감염처럼 효과적이며 TYLCV 저항성 토마토 육성 프로그램에 활용 가능하다는 것으로 보여주었다.
