아그로박테리움 매개에 의한 형질전환 기술을 이용하여 국내에서 육성된 품종 'Sweet Yellow'로부터 유도된 체세포배 (배발생캘러스 포함)로 intron-GUS유전자가 전이된 식물체를 획득하기까지의 과정이 제시되었다. Intron-GUS 유전자를 포함하고 있는 Agrobacterium tumefaciens AgL1(O.D=0.7~1.6)에 30분 감염시켜 3일간 공동배양 한 후 $4^{\circ}C$에서 7일간의 저온처리를 거친 후 cefotaxim $250\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 첨가 체세포배발아 배지에 배양된 체세포배 (배발생캘러스 포함)들 대부분으로 유전자가 전이된 것을 GUS transient assay에 의해 확인하였다. Intron-GUS유전자가 전이된 체세포배 (배발생캘러스 포함)로부터 신초원기를 유도한 후 신초를 재분화시켰고, 재분화된 신초로부터 다신초가 형성되도록 하였다. 다신초로부터 신초의 일부를 떼어 GUS transient assay 분석을 실시하여 intron-GUS 유전자의 발현을 확인한 후 발근시켜 순화 후 온실로 옮겼다. GUS transient assay에 의해 확인된 유전자 발현율은 100%였다.

화이트 클로버의 배축, 잎, 미숙배 유래의 embryogenic callus에 식물 binary vector인 pBI121을 포함하는 A. tumefaciens LBA4404를 접종하여 효과적으로 화이트 클로버를 형질전환시켰다. A. tumefaciens를 이용한 화이트 클로버의 형질전환은 acetosyringone을 사용함으로써 품종간의 차이가 없이 배발생 캘러스에서 16-19%를 보였다. 재분화 식물체의 PCR 및 Northern 분서글 통하여 형질 전환된 화이트 클로버의 염색체내에 GUS 유전자가 안정되게 도입되었고 식물체내에서 mRAN로 발현됨을 확인하였다. 또한, GUS 유전자가 식물체내에서 단백질로 발현됨을 확인하기 위하여 형질 전환되어진 화이트 클로버부터 단백질을 추출하고 분광분석법에 의하여 GUS의 활성을 측정하였으며, 시료간에 약간의 차이는 있으나 유의적인 GUS 활성을 확인하였다.

The activity of promoter sequences was evaluated in garlic cells using the $\beta$-glucuronidase (GUS) gene as a reporter. Histochemical GUS assay indicated transient GUS activity in leaf, callus and root cells 48 hours after particle bombardment transformation. Quantitative fluorometric assays in extracts of transformed leaves demonstrated that the CsVMV promoter induced the highest level of gene expression, which was, on average, ten fold the level induced by CaMV35S and by the Arabidopsis Act2 promoters and two fold the level expression observed with a construct containing a double CaMV35S plus the untranslated leader sequence from AMV. No activity or very low levels were observed when cells were transformed with plasmids rontaining the typical monocot promoters, Actl, from rice or the Ubi-1, from maize. The green fluorescent protein (GFP) was also tested as a marker gene for garlic transformation. Intense fluorescence was observed in leaf, callus and root cells transformed with a construct containing the gfp gene under control of the CaMV35 Promoter. No fluorescence was detected when the gfp was under control of the Ubi-1 promoter.

들깨묘는 재배가 용이하며 건강채소로 애용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 발아 후 2일째의 들깨묘에 대하여 세포 상해를 일으킬 수 있는 NaOH/SDS 용액을 처리하고 페놀 화합물을 처리한 재조합 Agrobacterium 세포를 이용하여 형질 전환을 수행하였다. 형광분석에 의한 GUS 유전자발현 분석에서 50 mM acetosyringone 처리 및 0.5% NaOH /0.01% SDS 처리의 복합처리에 의하여 가장 높은 GUS활성이 나타났으며 상승효과를 제시할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 hepatitis B virus antigen (HBsAg) 단백질 발현으로 성공적으로 확인할 수 있었다.

분자육종의 목적을 위하여 Agrobacterium을 이용한 Brassica napus 식물의 유전적 형질전환은 폭 넓게 시행되어 왔다. B. napus cv. napus는 유지작물의 하나이면서 이 또한 Agrobacterium을 이용한 형질전환이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 agroinfiltration방법을 이용시 유채유묘의 형질전환이 낯은 효율로 나타나고 있으며 이는 fluorometric GUS assay에 의하여 판단되었다. 대조적으로 유채유묘에 대하여 sodium hydrosulfite 용액을 agroinfiltration 과정 이전에 처리할 경우 형질전환율이 상당히 증가하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. RT-PCR에 의한 GUS유전자발현의 확인을 통하여 유채유도를 이용한 일시발현체계의 개발가능성을 제시하였다.

We previously showed that NtCDPK1, a tobacco calcium-dependent protein kinase, interacts with and phosphorylates the Rpn3 regulatory subunit of the 26S proteasome, and that both NtCDPK1 and Rpn3 are mainly expressed in rapidly proliferating tissues, including shoot and root meristem. In this study, we examined NtCDPK1 expression in roots using GUS expression in transgenic Arabidopsis plants, and investigated its function in root development by generating transgenic tobacco plants carrying a sense NtCDPK1 transgene. GUS activity was first detected in roots two days after sowing. In later stages, strong GUS expression was detected in the root meristem and elongation zone, as well as the initiation sites and branch points of lateral roots. Transgenic tobacco plants in which NtCDPK1 expression was suppressed were smaller, and their root development was abnormal, with reduced lateral root formation and less elongation. These results suggest that NtCDPK1 plays a role in a signaling pathway regulating root development in tobacco.

For establishing a transformation system of rice, an efficient introduction of foreign genes into embryogenic cell suspension by particle bombardment was conducted. The particle inflow gun based on the acceleration of DNA-coated tungsten particles using pressurized helium was constructed for delivery of DNA into rice cells. Several bombardment parameters were optimized using the transient expression of GUS gene. The conditions that gave the highest GUS gene expression of about 1000 blue spots per g fresh weight of bombarded cells include treatment of the cells with 0.5 M osmotic pressure, and use of the 410 kPa helium, 110 mm target distance, 13 mm syringe filter holder and 5 $\mu$L DNA/tungsten mixtures. It was also confirmed that rice actin promoter-intron construct gave the highest expression of all promoter-sequences studied. Eight weeks after the bombardment, stably transformed calluses were obtained on the selection medium containing 100 mg/L G418 and showed the strong activity in in situ GUS assay.

백합 (Lilium longiflorum cv. Georgia) 화분의 생장과 agro-infiltration에 의한 일시발현에 대한 물리적, 화학적, 생물적 요인의 영향을 분석하였다 화분을 배지에 섞기 위한 물리적 과정이나 agro-infiltration을 위한 진공작업과정은 정상적 화분생장을 위하여 최소화되는 것이 바람직한 것으로 나타났다. 비교적 넓은 범위에서의 온도 (19 to 27$^{\circ}C$)나 pH(5.0 to 8.0)에서 화분의 생장이 유사하게 진행되었으며 화학적 요인으로서의 cefotaxime (300mg/L), acetosyringone (800 $\mu$M), syringealdehyde (800 $\mu$M) 등의 처리는 화분의 생장에 영향을 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 kanamycin의 경우 매우 심한 생장저해현상을 보였는데 25mg/L의 농도에서도 저해현상을 보이는 경우도 있었다. GUS유전자의 화분발현시 acetosyringone(200-400$\mu$M)의 처리에 의하여 그 효율이 약간 향상되는 것으로 나타났으나 syringealdehyde의 경우에는 효과가 없었다. 짧은 시간 내의 agro-infiltration과정과 이어서 18 hr의 화분 및 박테리아의 동시배양으로서도 acetosyringone의 첨가에 상관없이 화분에서의 GUS 일시 발현결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Barley S-adenosylmethionine synthetase1 gene, which was differentially expressed in seed development of extra early barley, was regulated by the phytohormones and abiotic stresses. In order to identify the regulation regions which were involved in transcriptional control of the phytohormones and abiotic stresses, we isolated 1459 bp fragment of HvSAMS1 gene promoter using genome walking strategy and deletion series were constructed. Deleted upstream fragments(-1459, -1223, -999, -766, -545, -301 bp) were fused to the GUS reporter gene and evaluated via Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression assay. Increased GUS activity of HvSMAS1 promoter -301/GUS construct under each of NaCl, $GA_3$, ABA and ethylene application was found. However, GUS activity was negligible in the leaves transformed with the HvSMAS1 promoter(-1459, -1223, -999, -766 and -545)/GUS constructs. No significant induction of GUS activity was observed for the ethionine and spermidine treatments. In order to locate promoter sequence of the HvSAMS1 gene that was critical for the activation of gene expression, deletion and addition promoter derivatives(+, includes 43 bp of 5' ORF) of the HvSAMS1 gene fused to the GUS reporter gene were applied. The tobacco leaves which harbored the additional HvSAMS1 promoter(-1459+, -1459 to -546, -545+ and -301+)/GUS construct did not significantly induce GUS activity as compared to the HvSAMS1 promoter(-1459, -545 and -301)/GUS constructs under each of NaCl, ABA and $GA_3$ treatment. However, the GUS activity was high in the tobacco leaves which harboring the -211 to -141 regions of the HvSAMS1 promoter. This result suggested that HvSAMS1 gene expression might be regulated by this region(from -211 to -141).

Conditions for lily pollen growth in vitro and transformation were optimized. Active pollen tube development was achieved effectively in a medium containing 7% sucrose with pH adjusted to 5.7 at the temperature of 27$^{\circ}C$ for about 16-24 hours. Pollen growth was little impaired by the presence of kanamycin at concentration up to 100 mg/L. Pollen rains near the beginning of germination stage were more reliable for Agrobacterium-mediated GUS DNA transformation via vacuum infiltration lasted for 20-40 minutes. GUS DNA integration and its expression in fully developed pollen tubes could be confirmed by Southern blot hybridization, RT-PCR and histochemical staining.
