  • To investigate genes related to vernalization and cold- resistance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Nagaoka), differentially expressed genes were identified from cold-resistant barley leaves with suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and Northern blot analyses. The nucleotide and the deduced amino acid sequences of the putative gene products were compared. The bvrn-7 showed high homology(84%) with gene related to vernalization, and the bvrn-3, bvrn-12, bvrn-28, bvrn-29 and bvrn-36 related to cold-resistant genes had high identity of 88~98% with low temperature-induced genes. The results indicate that the 6 genes were closely related to vernalization and cold-resistance during low temperature treatment.

  • Effects of HgCl$_2$-treatment on electron transport, chlorophyll a fluorescence and its quenching were studied using isolated barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Albori) chloroplasts. Depending on the concentration of HgCI$_2$, photosynthetic oxygen-evolving activities of photosystem II (PS II) were greatly inhibited, whereas those of photosystem I (PS I) were slightly decreased. The inhibitory effects of HgCl$_2$ on the oxygen-evolving activity was partially restored by the addition of hydroxyamine, suggesting the primary inhibition site by HgCl$_2$2-treatment is close to the oxidizing site of PS tl associated with water-splitting complex. Addition of 50 $\mu$M HgCI$_2$ decreased both photochemical and nonphotochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence. Especially, energy dependent quenching (qE) was completely disappeared by HgCl$_2$-treatment as observed by NH$_4$CI treatment. In the presence of HgCI$_2$, F'o level during illumination was also increased. These results suggest that pH gradient across thylakoid membrane can not be formed in the presence of 0 $\mu$M HgCl$_2$. In addition, antenna pigment composition might be altered by HgCl$_2$-treatment.

  • Commercial cultivars and elite germplasms of barely (Hordeum vulgare L) are still recalcitrant to genetic transformation because of the lack of an efficient regeneration system. In this study, we established an efficient plant regeneration procedure from embryogenic calli derived from mature embryos. Callus induction from germinated mature embryos was best as over 95% in CIM medium (CI medium containing $2.5mg/{\ell}$ dicamba) under dark incubation. Development of embryogenic callus was highest as over 50% in CI3D medium (EC medium supplemented with $3mg/{\ell}$ 2,4-D). The highest regeneration of plants from embryogenic callus (40%) was obtained with CIS medium ($SI+1mg/{\ell}IAA\;and\;2mg/{\ell}\;BA$). These plant regeneration conditions could be useful in improving barley transformation efficiency.

  • Microsatellite markers were utilized to investigate genetic diversity among 70 Korean barley varieties (Hordeum vulgare). Ninety nine microsatellite primer pairs were screened for 9 varieties. Twenty primer pairs showed highly polymorphic. The relationship between markers genotypes and 70 varieties was analyzed. A total of 124 polymorphic amplified fragments were obtained by using 20 microsatellite markers. Two to nine SSR alleles were detected for each locus with an average of 6.2 alleles per locus. Average polymorphism information content (PIC) was 0.734, ranging from 0.498 to 0.882. A total of 124 marker loci were used to calculate Jaccard's distance coefficients for cluster analysis using UPGMA. Clustering group was divided 2 groups corresponding to 2-rowed and 6-rowed barley varieties. The phenogram was discriminated all varieties by markers genotypes. These markers may be used wide range of practical application in variety identification and genetic purity assessment of barley.

  • This study is focused on the evaluation of growth parameters, total polyphenol content (TPC), chlorophyll content as well as the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity of young barley seedling (YBS) affected by elicitation. Salicylic acid (SA), methyl jasmonate (MJ), amino acid liquid fertilizer (ALF) and microbial metabolism activator (MMA) were used. Elicitation was conducted for two times and various concentrations were used in this study. The result revealed that, MJ 1 ml/L treated-YBS gave the longest seedling length of 1.33 cm, followed by the ones treated with SA 1.38 mg/L and ALF 2 ml/L, respectively. ALF 3 ml/L treatment gave the highest fresh weight of 10 seedlings, followed by MJ 5 ml/L and SA 13.8 mg/L treatment with 1.56 g, 1.55 g and 1.53 g respectively. SA 138.12 mg/L elicitor treated-YBS gave the highest Chl a, Chl b content of $8.57{\mu}g/mg$ and $3.83{\mu}g/mg$, respectively while the highest carotenoid content was found in MJ ml/L treatment with $1.62{\mu}g/mg$. Among elicitor treated-YBS, SA showed better TPC. The highest TPC was found in SA 1.38 mg/L treatment with 18.82 mg/g TAE. Likewise, SA 1.38 mg/L showed the highest DPPH free radical scavenging activity among all the treatments. However, the lowest TPC was found in ALF 1ml/L treated-YBS with 9.46 mg/g TAE, which was even lower than the control (14.31 mg/g TAE).
