세계적으로 구리약제에 대해서 저항성을 나타내는 균주들이 발견되있으며, 이들은 구리약제의 방제효과를 감소시켰다. 국내에서도, 구리 저항성 균주 Xanthomonas campestris. pv. vesicatoria HN94-2, -3, -4, -5, -6 들이 천안지역의 고추재배지에서 처음으로 분리되었으며, 이들 균주들의 nutrient agar에서 황산구리(CuSo\ulcorner)에 대한 최소억제농도(minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC)는 1.4~1.6 mM이었다. 이들은 모두 황산아연(ZnSO\ulcorner)에 대해서는 감수성을 보여, 구리저항성 균주에 대한 방제약제로서 아연 함유 약제를 사용할 수 있을 것이다. 분리된 균주중 HN94-2와 HN94-6을 이용하여 접합(conjugation)을 통해 구리저항성의 전파를 실험한 결과, 이들 두 균주 모두 구리감수성 균주에게 4.3$\times$10\ulcorner에서 1.0$\times$10\ulcorner(transconjugant/donor)의 정도로 구리 저항성이 전이되었다. 이들 HN94-2와 HN94-6 균주의 구리정항성 유전자들은 약 200 kb 정도의 커다란 플라스미드(plasmid)에 존재하며, 이들은 각각 pXVK9402와 pXVK9406이라 명명되었다.

Four kinds of Nicotiana species and five varieties belonging to N. tabacum were used as materials for electrophoretic analysis of the tetrazolium oxidase isozyme to examine the taxonomic affinity among them based on the biochemical property. All the five verieties of N. tabacum showed same isozyme bands despite the fact that these varieties had notably varied characteristics including morphological traits. The band patterns were more or less different among the four species. Although N. rustica and N. tabacum were of the same genome group of AABB, their isozyme bands showed considerable difference. N. sylvestris, genome A donor of Nicotiana species, was found to be markedly different from N. tatacum in band pattern, including the absence of system 2 in N. sylvestris.

1. Study was made to investigate effects of desoxyribonucleates on copper-resistance in yeast. 2. It is found that the resistant strain there exists the phenomic lag. 3. In the occurrence of the resistant strain there exists the phenomic lag. 4. Desoxyribonucleate isolated from copper resistant culture is capable of inducing the resistant strain, which is the same type as donor of the resistant type. It accelerated the rate of variation to the resistant, but it is of no effect on the resistant strain. 5. Desoxyribonucleate derived from non-resistant type inhibits growth of the resistant strain and delays the initial phase of growth. However, it is of no effect on the sensitive strain. It is concluded that desoxyribonucleate derived from resistant culture is capable of inducing the resistance, however, nonresistant type desoxyribonucleate is of no effect on inducing the resistance.

To investigate phytotoxic substances in Artemisia argyi, the donor plant, and their biological activities, seed germination and seedling growth of receptor plants such as Arundinella hirta, Echinochloa crus-galli, Rumex crispus and Lactuca sativa were examined at different concentrations of aqueous extracts of the donor plant. Germination of four receptor species was inhibited by the extracts, while seedling growth was decreased to a lesser degree than in the germintion test. Germination, seedling growth and dry weight growth of Achyranthes japonica grown in pot were proportionally inhibited by the extracts. Volatile substances emitted from A, argi plant caused slight inhibition in the germination and seedling growth of the receptor species. Essential oil of the plant extracted by Karlsruker's apparatus inhibited growth of microorganisms and callus growth of Pinellia ternata and Oryza sativa. The GC /MS method was employed for analysis and identification of allelochemicals from A. argyi leaves. Sixty-one chemical substances such as a-pinene, camphene, 1. 8-cineol, etc. were identified from essential oil of A. argyi. The results of this experiment on seed germination, seedling growth, microorganism culture and tissue culture indicated that naturally occurring chemical substances from A. argyi would be responsible for the growth inhibition of plants studied.

This study was conducted to investigate an optimal condition for shoot proliferation and regenerate shoots from in vitro leaflet and embryogenic calli from in vitro roots in rose. The effect of BAP on shoot proliferation was somewhat different depending upon genotypes or gelling agents. Leaflets with petiole cut from donor shoots which had been cultured in MS medium supplemented with 0.1 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA for six weeks was effective for regeneration of adventitious buds(ABs) as well as shoot elongation of Rosa hybrida cv. Sweet Pink. Culturing seven leaflet explants per petri plate($100mm{\times}15mm$) was effective for regeneration of ABs. Embryogenesis was shown in the calli induced from roots of Rosa hybrida cv. Sweet Pink cultured in the SH medium supplemented with 11 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 2, 4-D for four weeks. Color of calli induced from roots was yellow although their color was a little different as type of basal medium.

The effect of plant growth regulators was investigated on in vitro shoot proliferation from axillary bud explants of Hypericum erectum. To determine the optimal cytokinin for proliferation of axillay buds, we carried out screening four cytokinins (BA, kinetin, 2iP, TDZ). When nodal segments were cultured on MS medium supplemented with $4.5\;{\mu}M$ TDZ (thidiazuron), a number of shoots were induced. Our results indicated that the addition of TDZ to culture medium resulted in the induction of significantly more axillary buds than in the addition of other cytokinins. The optimal concentration of TDZ for proliferation of axillary buds was $10\;{\mu}M$. 92% of shoots spontaneously rooted without any plant growth regulator (PGR) and formed whole plantlets within one month. More than 95% of these regenerants survived and they did not show any detectable variation in morphology or growth characteristics compared to their donor plants.

Pharmacophore models for lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (P56 LCK) were developed using CATALYST HypoGen with a training set comprising of 25 different P56 LCK inhibitors. The best quantitative pharmacophore hypothesis comprises of one hydrogen bond acceptor, one hydrogen bond donor, one hydrophobic aliphatic and one ring aromatic features with correlation coefficient of 0.941, root mean square deviation (RMSD) of 0.933 and cost difference (null cost-total cost) of 66.23. The pharmacophore model was validated by two methods and the validated model was further used to search databases for new compounds with good estimated LCK inhibitory activity. These compounds were evaluated for their binding properties at the active site by molecular docking studies using GOLD software. The compounds with good estimated activity and docking scores were evaluated for physiological properties based on Lipinski's rules. Finally 68 compounds satisfied all the properties required to be a successful inhibitor candidate.

Dehydroascorbate (DHA) reductase (DHAR, EC 1.8.5.1) catalyzes the reduction of DHA to reduced ascorbate (AsA) using glutathione (GSH) as the electron donor in order to maintain an appropriate level of ascorbate in plant cells. To analyze the physiological role of DHAR in environmental stress adaptation, we developed transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi) plants that express a human DHAR gene isolated from the human fetal liver cDNA library in the chloroplasts. We also investigated the DHAR activity, levels of ascorbate, and GSH. Two transgenic plants were successfully developed by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and were confirmed by PCR and Southern blot analysis. DHAR activity and AsA content in mature leaves of transgenic plants were approximately 1.41 and 1.95 times higher than in the non-transgenic (NT) plants, respectively In addition, the content of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in transgenic plants was approximately 2.95 times higher than in the NT plants. The ratios of AsA to DHA and GSSG to GSH were changed by overexpression of DHAR, as expected, even though the total content of ascorbate and glutathione was not significantly changed. When tobacco leaf discs were subjected to methyl viologen at $5\;{\mu}M$, $T_0$ transgenic plants showed about a 50% reduction in membrane damage compared to the NT plants.

This study evaluated the in vitro effect of medicinal plant extracts on ruminal methanogenesis, four different groups of methanogens and ruminal fermentation characteristics. A fistulated Holstein cow was used as a donor of rumen fluid. Licorice and mugwort extracts (Glycyrrhiza uralensis and Artemisia capillaris, 0.5% and 1% of total substrate DM, respectively), previously used as folk remedies, were added to an in vitro fermentation incubated with buffered-rumen fluid. Total gas production in Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract treatment was not significantly different between treatments (p<0.05) while total gas production in the Artemisia capillaris extract treatment was lower than that of the control. Artemisia capillaris extract and Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract reduced $CH_4$ emission by 14% (p<0.05) and 8% (p<0.05), respectively. Ciliate-associated methanogens population decreased by 18% in the medicinal plant extracts treatments. Medicinal plant extracts also affected the order Methanobacteriales community. Methanobacteriales diversity decreased by 35% in the Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract treatment and 30% in the Artemisia capillaris extract treatment. The order Methanomicrobiales population decreased by 50% in the 0.5% of Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract treatment. These findings demonstrate that medicinal plant extracts have the potential to inhibit in vitro ruminal methanogenesis.

This experiment was carried out to improve the anther culture efficiency of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Callus induction rates from anther cultures of the five domestic naked barley and four unhulled varieties ranged from 0 to 5.6%, and plant regeneration rate to callus was 30.4% in the donor plants grown in a greenhouse during winter, among which the green plant regeneration rates ranged from 0 to 4.4%. Plant regeneration rate was 30.4% in the donor plants grown in a greenhouse during winter, whereas 21.3% in the normal field condition in spring. In addition, callus induction rates were 19.2% in plants grown in a normal field and 7.2% in drought-stressed condition, respectively. Being Considered the anther culture efficiency affected by the sampling time, the optimum sampling stage of anthers was 3~4 days before heading when the length between the 1st and 2nd auricles reaches 5 to 10 cm and at the uninucleate of pollen which the tip of the 2nd auricle aligns with the middle of panicle in the leaf sheath. Best callus induction rates came from the anthers stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 3 weeks in a 10 to 15 cm diameter polyethylene bag with 5 to 10 panicles and Duwonchapssalbori and Saessalbori showed the higher induction rate of 4.8% and 1.7%, respectively.
