A deletion analysis of the Oryza sativa dihydroflavonol reductase (DFR) promoter defined a 25 bp region (-386 to -362) sufficient to confer pericarp-specific expression of ${\beta}$ -glucuronidase(GUS) reporter gene in transgenic rice. Site-specific mutagenesis of these conserved sequences and subsequent expression analysis in calli which transiently expressed the mutated promoter::GUS gene showed that both bHLH (-386 to -381) and Myb (-368 to -362) binding sites in the DEL3 (-440 to 70) promoter were necessary for complete expression of the GUS gene including the tissue-specific expression of DFR::GUS gene. The GUS gene was expressed well in the mutated Myb (-368 to -362) binding site, but not as strong as in normal condition, implying that the Myb is also necessary to express GUS gene fully. Also, we found the non-epistatic relation between Rc and DFR. There were no changes of expression patterns GUS under the Rc and rc genotypes. Thus, DFR expression might be independent of the presence of functional Rc gene and suggested that Rc and Rd (DFR) share the same pathway controlling the regulation of flavonoid synthesis but not a direct positive transcriptional regulator of DFR gene.

OsMADS1 is a rice MADS box gene necessary for floral development. To identify the key cis-regulatory regions for its expression, we utilized transgenic rice plants expressing GUS fusion constructs. Histochemical analysis revealed that the 5.7-kb OsMADS1 intragenic sequences, encompassing exon 1, intron 1, and a part of exon 2, together with the 1.9-kb 5' upstream promoter region, are required for the GUS expression pattern that coincides with flower-preferential expression of OsMADS1. In contrast, the 5' upstream promoter sequence lacking this intragenic region caused ectopic expression of the reporter gene in both vegetative and reproductive tissues. Notably, incorporation of the intragenic region into the CaMV35S promoter directed the GUS expression pattern similar to that of the endogenous spatial expression of OsMADS1 in flowers. In addition, our transient gene expression assay revealed that the large first intron following the CaMV35S minimal promoter enhances flower-preferential expression of GUS. These results suggest that the OsMADS1 intragenic sequence, largely intron 1, contains a key regulatory region(s) essential for expression.

Pathogenesis-related protein-1a (PR-1a) is strongly induced in tobacco plants by pathogen attack, exogenous salicylic acid (SA) application and by other developmental processes. In order to develop a rapid screening system for the selection of plant defense-inducing compounds originated from various sources, we have transformed tobacco Samsun NN plants with a chimeric construct consisting of GUS $(\beta-glucuronidase)$. In the $T_1$ generation, three transgenic lines having stable GUS expression were selected for further promoter analysis. Using GUS histochemical assay, we observed strong GUS induction driven by PR-1a promoter in PR1a-GUS transgenic tobacco leaves in response to the exogenous application of SA or benzol (1,2,3) thiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid S-methyl ester (BTH), a SA­derivative compound. In addition, GUS expression was maintained locally or systemically in PR1a-GUS transgenic line $\#5\;T_2$ generation) until after 3 days when they were treated with same chemicals. Our results suggested that the PR1a-GUS reporter gene system in tobacco plants may be applicable for the large-scale screening of defense-inducing substances.

Explants of button daisy were screened for their regeneration potential and transient GUS gene expression. Medium containing MS salts minerals and $B_5$ vitamins supplemented with $0.1\;\cal{mg/L}$ BA and $0.1\;\cal{mg/L}$ TDZ showed the best regeneration. Disc florets and receptacles were the most responsive explants in regeneration and transient gene expression respectively. Regenerated plants were successfully rooted and established in the green-house conditions. Infection and co-cultivation of explants with Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing pCAMBIA 1301 resulted in transient GUS foci. Among the different explants, receptacles showed the highest percentage of transient GUS gene expression. Enzymatic and molecular analyses of transformed calli confirmed the integration of GUS gene.

Electroporation을 이용한 형질전환 연구에서 원형질체 대신 체세포 배발생 세포를 이용하여도 DNA가 도입될 수 있음을 이미 보고한 바 있다. 본 연구는 배발생 세포 내로 DNA를 도입하기 위한 electroporation의 최적 조건, 즉 전압과 capacitance 수준, promoter 종류, DNA 농도, 저온처리효과 등을 구명하며, 처리에 따른 DNA의 전입 현상을 이해하고 전기충격후의 생장과 분화 정도를 조사하고자 수행되었다. 들잔디 미숙배를 2,4-D가 2 mg/L 함유된 MS배지에서 배양하여 배발생 캘러스를 유도하였고, 동일 조성의 액체배지에 진탕배양하여 조직 electroporation에 적합한 현탁배양 세포괴를 증식할 수 있었다. 100-400 V의 전압과 10-1980 $\mu\textrm{F}$의 capacitance 수준에서 세포괴를 35S-gusA 조성을 갖는 운반체 DNA와 함께 electroporation 하였을 때, 전반적으로 DNA가 도입되었음을 표지유전자 gusA의 transient 발현을 통하여 확인하였으며, 200-300 V 전압과 330-800 $\mu\textrm{F}$ capacitance 수준이 보다 효과적인 경향을 보였다. 처리시 온도는 큰 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 6 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL 이상의 DNA 농도에서는 GUS 발현이 양호하였다. 배발생 캘러스 세포주들은 모두 DNA가 도입 되었으나 비 배발생 캘러스 세포주는 11개중 하나에서만 도입이 확인되었다. Electroporation시 전기충격후 20, 40시간 후에 DNA를 첨가하여도 gusA가 발현됨에 따라 전기충격이 세포막의 침투성을 장시간 변화시킴으로써 DNA가 전이될 수 있는 것임을 확인할 수 있었다. GusA의 promoter로 CaMV 35S외에 Actl과 Ubil의 활성을 비교한 바, 35S에 비해 각각 7배, 5배의 활성을 나타내었다. Electroporation 처리후 세포괴의 배양실험에서 100-400 V의 전압과 10-l980 $\mu\textrm{F}$ capacitance의 전 처리 범위에서 캘러스의 지속적인 생장과 함께 식물체 재분화가 일어났다.

감자 (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Superior)에서 cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter의 발현 양상 및 외래 유전자의 발현에 미치는 intron fragment의 효과를 조사하기 위하여 옥수수의 alcohol dehydrogenase 1-S (Adh1-S) intron 1의 249 base pairs 와 ${\beta}-glucuronidase$ (GUS) 유전자를 결합한, CaMV 35S/deleted Adh1 intron-GUS 구조의 유전자 전달벡터를 제조하고 이를 Agrobacterium tumefaciens를 매개로 형질전환을 유도하였다. 유전자 전달벡터인 pLS201는 17.7 kilobase pairs로서 형질전환의 초기 선별에 용이한 kanamycin 저항성 유전자와 GUS 유전자를 갖는 구조로 제조되었다. 형질전환된 개체의 조직화학적 분석 결과 CaMV 35S promoter에 의한 GUS 유전자는 모든 기관에서 발현되었고, 줄기 및 뿌리에서는 세포분열이 활발한 유관속 형성층을 중심으로 강한 발현을 나타내었다. GUS 유전자의 발현에 미치는 intron fragment의 효과를 조사하기 위하여 CaMV 35S/GUS 구조의 plasmid (pBI121)를 형질전환된 개체를 대조구하여 GUS 활성을 조사한 결과 pLS201의 잎, 줄기, 뿌리에서 각각 30, 34, 42배 높은 활성을 보여, 옥수수 탈수소 효소 유전자의 절단된 인트론이 GUS 유전자의 발현을 증가시킴을 알 수 있었다.

To determine the patterns and the levels of expression of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV 35S) promoter and the rice actin 1 (Act1) promoter in rice, transgenic rice plants containing CaMV 35S-$\beta$-glucuronidase (GUS) and Act1-GUS constructs were generated and examined by fluorometric and histochemical analyses. The fluorometric analysis of stably transformed calluses showed that the activity of the rice Act1 promoter was stronger than that of the CaMV 35S promoter in rice cells. In a histochemcial study of the transgenic rices, it was shown that the GUS activity directed by the CaMV 35S promoter was localized mainly in parenchymal cells of vascular tissues of leaves and roots and mesophyll cells of leaves. These results are similar to those of potato, a dicot plant. In contrast, rice plant transformed with Act1-GUS fusion construct revealed strong GUS activity in parenchymal cells of vascular tissue, mesophyll cells, epidermal cells, bulliform cells, guard subsidiary cells of leaves and most cells of the root, suggesting that the rice Act1 promoter is more constitutive than the CaMV 35S promoter. It was also confirmed that in both types of transgenic rice little or no staining was localized in metaxylen tracheary elements of vascular tissue from leaves or roots. These results indicate that the rice Act1 promoter can be utilized more successfully for expression of a variety of foreign gene in rice than the CaMV 35S promoter.

Tomato phenylalanine ammonia-lyase 5 (tPAL5) was identified that alternate initiation sites were utilized differentially in response to environmental stimuli (Lee et al, 1992b). In this study, we tried to look into tissue -or cell- specific expression pattern of tPAL5 gene by fusing with ${\beta}-glucuronidase$ (GUS) gene in transgenic tobacco plants. In transgenic plants, root and stem extracts contained 8~12 fold higher levels of GUS activity than petiole or leaf tissue while the highest levels of induction was observed from leaf tissue by mechanical wounding (5~11 fold). In trans-sections of stems and petioles, GUS activity was restricted to phloem cells(outer region) of developing vascular bundle and mainly at apical tip region in the root tissues. The levels of GUS activity was drastically reduced (10~12 fold reduction) when the 5'-upstream region of tPAL5 gene (-1151bp from ATG codon) was deleted up to -665. The levels of GUS expression, however, raised up by 6~8 fold when deleted up to -455. Therefore, we conclude that there are positive cis-elements at the region -1151 to -1008 and at -455 to -195 while the negative cis-element is at -1008 to -455.

The effects of sonication and vacuum infiltration on transformation efficiency was investigated by using immature embryos of Korean wheat as explants. Two Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains, KYRT1 and EHA105, carrying pCAMBIA 1305.1 were used. Transformation efficiency was demonstrated by the detection of $\beta-glucu-ronidase$ (GUS) activity. GUS expression showed clear difference among Korean wheat cultivars. Geurumil showed higher GUS expression efficiency $79.1\%$ compared with other cultivars. The effects of the duration of vacuum infiltration and sonication treatment showed a tendency high GUS expression efficiency by their combination. In comparison with other Agrobacterium strains, KYRT1 showed high efficiency in most Korean cultivars.
