Fusarium proliferatum KGL0401 was previously isolated from Physalis alkekengi var. francheti plant roots and exhibited a high GA productivity. A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of extracts of the culture fluid of F proliferatum KGL0401 also revealed the presence of $GA_1$, $GA_3$, $GA_4$, $GA_7$, $GA_{20}$, and $GA_{24}$. Therefore, the present study conducted a proteome analysis of waito-c rice treated with the culture fluid of the isolated F proliferatum KGL0401 to identify the protein expression triggered by the GA-containing culture fluid. The results revealed the overexpression of 180 protein spots in the sample treated with the culture fluid. Among them, 75 induced proteins were selected and analyzed by MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption-iorrization time-of-flight) mass spectrometry, followed by database searching, and 51 proteins were identified.

Fusarium proliferatum KGL0401 was previously isolated from Physalis alkekengi var. francheti plant roots and exhibited higher GA productivity than wild type Gibberella fujikuroi. The :tim of this work was to find out an optimal culture condition for GA production. Various carbon(fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, sucrose) and nitrogen($KNO_3$, urea, glycine, $NaNO_3,\;NH_4Cl$) sources were used for this study. GAs activities were analysed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry(GC-MS). The highest yield of $GA_3$ was found in the growth medium supplemented with sucrose as carbon source and $NH_4Cl$ as nitrogen source. The optimum carbon-nitrogen concentration for $GA_3$ production was found to be 0.5 M:0.17 M. Supernatant was prepared from the culture fluid of F. proliferatum KGL0401 cultured for 7 days at 3 0'E and the 10 ul supernatant was treated with 2 leaf-rice seedling.

Gibberellins (GAs) are a group of phytohormones that control many developmental processes in higher plants. We report the cloning and expression pattern of gibberellin biosynthesis genes from a new GA-producing fungus, Fusarium proliferatum (strain KGL0401). These genes sequences are deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) under accession numbers EF119831, EF119832, DQ313173, DQ313174, DQ313175, DQ313176, and DQ313177. The expression level of these genes was maximal at a 0.5 M : 0.17 M carbon : nitrogen ratio, and minimal at a 0.25 M : 0.47 M carbon : nitrogen ratio.

Gibberellins (GAs) play an important role in plant growth and development. Fifteen fungi were isolated from Physalis alkekengi var francheti plant roots, and among them, four isolates showed GA-production activity. A bioassay using waito-c rice was carried out with the culture fluid of the GA-producing fungi. The GA-producing fungi were cultured for 7 days in Czapek's liquid medium at $30^{\circ}C$, 120 rpm, under dark conditions. The culture broth was concentrated 30-fold and 10 ${\mu}l$ of that concentrate was applied to 2-leaf rice sprouts. The height of the rice seedlings treated with the culture fluid of isolate PA08 was 26 cm high, while that of the seedlings treated with the wild-type Gibberella fujikuroi was 13 cm high. As such, the plant growth-promoting activity exhibited by isolate PA08 was 2 times stronger than that exhibited by the wild-type G fujikuroi. The amounts of $GA_l,\;GA_3,\;GA_4,\;GA_7,\;GA_9,\;GA_{20}$, and $GA_{24}$ in the medium were measured using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the quantities produced by isolate PA08 were 4.85 ng/ml, 4.79 ng/ml, 17.30 ng/ml, 6.01 ng/ml, 16.61 ng/ ml, 0.08 ng/ml, and 17.30 ng/ml, respectively. Isolate PA08 was also identified as Fusarium proliferatum KGL0401 by a genetic analysis of the nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region of the ribosomal DNA.
