For the gene tagging of Armoracia rusticana, maize controlling element Ac and Ds were introduced into A.rusticana via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method. We established an efficient in via regeneration and transformation system for gene transfer in A. rusticana. The optimum in via regeneration condition has been obtained from leaf, petiole and root organs on modified MS medium supplemented with NAA 0.1 mg/L plus BA 1.0 mg/L for direct shooting and with free growth regulators for root induction for transformation, the leaf, petiole and root explants of A. rusticana were concultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, LBA4404 which carries a binary vector pEND4K containing maize controlling element Ac or Ds, respectively: Selections were performed in the shoot induction medium supplemented with 100 mg/L kanamycin, and 500 mg/L carbenicillin transformation frequency showed about 8 to 10% in case of leaf disks. PCR md Southern blot analyses showed that the Ac and the Ds elements were integrated into the chromosome of donor plants.

Recently interesting in development of antimicrobial agent from natural origin has been increased in these days. Many studies have been reported antimicrobial effect of Horseradish(Armoracia rusticana) root extracts against various microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Vibrio parahaemolyticu, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus parasiticus, Helicobacter pylori. The main component related to antimicrobial activity in horseradish is well known as allyl isothiocyanate(AIT). In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial effects of Horseradish(Armoracia rusticana) root extracts against Streptococcus mutans isolated from human dental plaque, Streptococcus mutans reference strain and compared with that of chlorhexidine. Horseradish root extracts and chlorhexidine were tested to determine their minimum inhibitory concentration( MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration(MBC). The result of this study can be summerized as follows; 1. Horseradish root extracts showed antimicrobial effect against both S. mutans isolated strain and reference strain, their MIC were respectively $0.083{\sim}0.25%$ ($833.33{\sim}2500 ppm$), 0.25% (2500 ppm). Horseradish root extracts showed antimicrobial effect against S. mutans isolated strain at same or slightly lower concentration compared with MIC of reference strain. 2. $0.083{\sim}0.25%$ horseradish root extracts showed similar antimicrobial effect with chlorhexidine ($0.0021{\sim}0.0041%$).

The effect of carbenicillin on the dedifferentiation and the regeneration efficiency of plant tissues of horseradish(Armoracia rusticana) was evaluated, Inhibition effect for callus initiation was observed when leaf blade, root and petiole segments were grown on MS medium containing 500 mg/L to 2000 mg/L carbenicillin and 0.5 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The regeneration of horseradish shoots from leaf blade, root and petiole explants were decreased as the addition of carbenicillin increased from 1000 mg/L to 2000 mg/L in MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) or kinetin. Especially, 500 mg/L carbenicillin treatment significantly inhibited shoot induction when leaf blade explants were grown on hormone-free MS medium. It was suggested that the toxic effects of combinations of carbenicillin and 2,4-D may be due to high auxin activity levels.

Three flavonoid glycosides have been isolated from the aerial part of Armoracia rusticana P. (Cruciferae) in Korea and identified by means of spectral analysis as $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-D-xylofuranoside(l)$, $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-D-galactopyranoside(2)$ and $kaempferol-3-O-{\beta}-D-xylofuranosyl(1\rightarrow2)-b{\beta}-D-galactopyranoside(3)$. When 1 mg/ml of the methanol extract from the aerial part of this plant was added, lipid peroxide formation in the bromobenzene-treated rat liver decreased by 64%. Among the components isolated from title plant, compounds 2 and 3 reduced the formation of lipid peroxide by 16% and 39% respectively at the concentration of ${10}^{-1}$ mg/ml.

Allelopathic effects on some crops(rice, barley, wheat, Chinese cabbage, leaf mustard, onion, welsh onion, tobacco, red pepper) for extracts of Phytolacca americana and Armoracia rusticana were investigated in MS solid medium. Germination percentage, radicle length, hypocotyl length, plant height, fresh weight, dry weight, and seedling vigor were rapidly inhibited by methanol extract from Phytolacca americana according to increase of the concentration in test plants. Autotoxicity of Phytolacca americana began to appear at concentrations greater than 50$\mu$l methanol extracts per 20ml medium. The fresh weight and dry weight of Phytolacca americana were also decreased by its own methanol extract according to increase of the concentration. Initial amounts of growth of all crops were also inhibited by methanol extracts from Armoracia rusticana, but the inhibitory effects were lowered than those of methanol extracts of Phytolacca americana. Of four fractions, ethyl acetate, petroleum ether, $1^{st}H_2O, 2^{nd}H_2O$, reextracted from methanol extracts of Phytolacca americana, the ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest allelopathic effects on germination percentage and initial amounts of growth. Chlorophyll contents of rice, barley and Chinese cabbage were more inhibited in the ethyl acetate fraction than in the other fractions. Free proline content of Chinese cabbage was increased 31.2 times in the 100$\mu l$ ethyl acetate fraction, and the contents of rice and barley were also increased according to concentration levels in the ethyl acetate fraction.

Plantlets were regenerated from various explants (shoot tip, leaf blade, petiole and root segments) via organogenesis and/or somatic embryogenesis from Armoracia rusticana(Lam) Gaerth., Mey, et Scherb.. Shoot regeneration rate from callus was highest on the MS mediums supplemented with 0.5 ㎎/L IAA, 5.0㎎/L BA and 10.0㎎/L spermine. A Low frequency of regeneration occurred on hormone-free MS medium. Multiple shooks were regenerated at a pH of 4.0 to 8.0 on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 ㎎/L BA and 0.1 ㎎/L NAA. Polyamines promoted shoot- and root-formation by 2 to 4 times normal, Specific proteins associated with organogenesis were identified. Somatic embryogenesis occurred directly from the leaf blade, petiole and root segments cultured on MS medium with 2.0 ㎎/L BA and 2.0 ㎎/L BA and 2.0 ㎎/L NAA. Three types of regeneration in A, rusticana were clearly established, which could be applied to the study of morphogenesis and genetics at cell, tissue and organ levels.

Microorganisms are the main causative factors of pulpal and periapical diseases, therefore successful endodontic treatment is depend on the effective elimination of intracanal bacterial populations. Many studies have been reported antimicrobial effect of Allyl isothiocyanate (AIT) which the principle ingredient of Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) root extracts. The purposes of this study are to evaluate the antimicrobial effectiveness of Horseradish root extracts against Enterococcus faecalis in root canals of extracted human teeth and compare to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). Extracted human mandibular premolar root canals were infected with E. faecalis for 21 days, and then irrigated with Horseradish root extracts, NaOCl solution and saline. After canal irrigation, first samples (S1) were taken. After first sampling, the canals were additionally incubated 7 days, and then second samples (S2) were taken. The samples were inoculated on EHI agar plate to determine the colony forming units (CFU). 1. Mean values of CFU in S1 were $5.815{\times}10^3$ CFU/ml at Horseradish groups, and $3.465{\times}10^3$ CFU/ml at NaOCI groups. There was no statistically significant differences (p=0.086). 2. Mean values of CFU in S2 were $3.100{\times}10^3$ CFU/ml at Horseradish groups, and $5.252{\times}10^5$ CFU/ml at NaOCI groups. There was statistically significant difference (p<.05). 3. There was no statistically significant differences (p=0.076) between S1 and S2 at Horseradish groups in the mean values of CFU. However, there was statistically significant differences (p<.05) between S1 and S2 at NaOCI groups in the mean values of CFU.
