The coat protein (CP) gene was cloned from RNA genome of the Cucumber Mosaic Virus strain ABI (CMV-ABI) isolated in Korea. The comparisons of the nucleotide sequence of the cloned CP gene and its deduced amino acid sequences with other CP genes revealed that the CMV-ABI belongs to subgroup I (type I), CMV-ABI developed the typical mosaic symptom in infected plants. Tobacco plants (Samsun and NC82) were transformed by leaf-disc transformation via Agrobacterium, temefaciens LB4404 harboring pVCP, witch CMV-ABI CP gene was inserted into the pBI121, and a number of mature transgenic tobacco plants were developed. Southern and PCR analysis of genomic DNA from the transgenic plants showed that the CP gene was integrated into the genomes of the most of the transgenic plant. Result of the segregation patterns of resistance in T1 seedlings of the plants to kanamycin showed that the transgenic plants containing l,2 and 3 copies of CP gene were50%, 39% and 11% of the total transgenic plants, respectively.

A VP6 fragments was subcloned with BamHI in the binary pMBP-1 vector under Califlower Mosaic Virus (CaMV) 355 promoter and neomycin phosphotransferase II (npt II) gene. The recombinant binary vector was mobilized into Agrobacterium-tumefaciens LBA4404 by the freeze-thaw method and potato (Solanum tubensum L. cv Desiree) was transformed by modified leaf-disc cocultivation. Shoots were induced on MS medium with 0.01 mg/L NAA, 0.1 mg/L GA$_3$, 2.0 mg/L Zeatin, 100.0 mg/L kanamycin, 500.0 mg/L carbenicillin. In order to identify the copy number of VP6 into potato plant, total genomic DNA was isolated from transgenic potato and analysed by Southern blotting. Genomic DNA and total mRNA analysis demonstrated the incorporation of the foreign gene into the potato genome, as well as their transcription.

Microinjection of recombinant retrovirus beneath the blastoderm of non-incubated chicken embryo is now the most widespread method for generating transgenic chickens, but transgenesis rates are very low. So to improve this problem, we first introduced retrovirus vector carrying RSV-GFP gene to an one-cell embryo culture system. To investigate whether retrovirus could work on an one-cell chicken embryo, we microinjected the concentrated retrovirus stocks into the germinal disc of one cell or stage-X chicken embryos. Analysis of reporter gene expression on day 4 embryos showed that GFP expression was observed in the only stage-X chicken embryo but was not in the one-cell embryo group. These results suggest that retrovirus system is the most efficient method to generate transgenic chickens in the stage-X embryo.
