Low temperature is one of the major environmental factors that affect productivity including reduced growth and budding of vines, and changes of metabolic processes in grape (Vitis spp.). To screen the specific expression of abiotic stress-related genes against cold treatment in 'Kyoho' and 'Campbell Early' grapevines, expression of various defense-related genes was investigated by RT-PCR and real-time PCR. Among the 67 genes analyzed by RT-PCR and real-time PCR, 17 and 16 types of cDNA were up-regulated, while 5 and 6 types were down-regulated in cold-treated 'Kyoho' and 'Campbell Early' grapevines, respectively. Genes encoding carotene (Cart3564 and Cart4472), chalcone isomerase (CHI), cytochrome P450 (CYP), flavonol synthase (FLS), endo-${\beta}$-glucanase precursor (Glu), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), leucine-rich repeats (LRR), manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD), phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (PGIP), proline rich protein 2 (PRP2), small heat shock protein (sHSP), temperature induced lipocalin (TIL), and thaumatin-like protein (TLP) were up-regulated, while those encoding CBF like transcription factor (CBF1), chitinase-like protein (CLP), cold induced protein (CIP), glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) were down-regulated by low temperature treatment in both in 'Kyoho' and 'Campbell Early'.

Differences of gene expression between red flash peach cultivar and white flash peach cultivar were investigated by Nest-generation sequencing (NGS). EST from the red flash peach cultivar and white flash peach cultivar were selected for nucleotide sequence determination and homology searches. The levels of transcripts coding for proteins involved in pathogenesis related proteins, temperature stress, ethylene signal pathway were significantly higher in white flash peach cultivar than in red flash peach cultivar. On the other hand, the up-regulation of proteins involved in anthocyanin and flavonol biosynthesis and protein degradation and sorbitol metabolism were observed in red flash peach cultivar. Chalcone synthase was preferentially expressed in the red flesh peach cultivar, agreeing with the accumulation of anthocyanin and expression of other previously identified genes for anthocyanin biosynthesis. Anthocyanin pathway related genes CHS, F3H, DFR, LDOX, UFGT differentially expressed between red flash peach cultivar and white flash peach cultivar. These results suggest that red flash peach cultivar and white flash peach cultivar have different anthocyanin biosynthesis regulatory mechanisms.

Flavonoid인 isokaempferide는 간 보호, 항균, 항증식성, 항염 등 다양한 생리활성을 가지는 것을 보고 되고 있으며 Amburana cearensis와 Cirsium rivulare (Jacq.)과 같은 식물에서 추출하여 사용한다. 생물전환은 비교적 값이 싼 물질로부터 고부가가치 물질을 얻기 위한 방법으로 유용물질의 식물추출법을 대체할 수 있는 방법이다. Naringenin으로부터 isokaempferide를 생합성 하기 위해 대장균에 포플러에서 분리한 PFLS와 벼에서 분리한 ROMT-9 유전자를 도입하였다. 이 균주를 이용하여 naringenin으로부터 isokaempferide의 생합성 수율(9.8 mg/L)은 낮았다. Isokaempferide의 생합성 수율을 높이기 위해 S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) 생합성 경로의 transcriptional regulator인 MetJ를 제거함으로써 methyl donor로 사용되는 SAM을 증가시켰다. SAM생합성 대사를 조절한 대장균을 이용하여 생물전환 균주의 최적 세포밀도 및 최적의 기질공급 농도를 결정하였다. 최적화된 조건을 이용하여 isokaempferide의 생합성은 87 mg/L까지 증가하였다.
