Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) with strain LBA 4404 containing a rice thaumatin-like protein gene is described. The selectable markers used were phosphinothricin acetyltransferase and hygromycin phosphotransferase genes. Epicotyl explants from seedlings were precultured for 5-7 days on Murashige and Skoog medium with ${\alpha}$-naphthaleneacetic acid and 2,4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid at 10 ${\mu}$M and 9 ${\mu}$M, respectively (ND medium), prior to Agrobacterium infection. The explants were immersed in a bacterial suspension for 20 min. A post-infection co-culture period of 3-4 days was provided on ND medium. Selection for transformed calli was conducted on ND medium with 20 mg/L phosphinothricin followed by 100 mg/L hygromycin over an 8-month period. it transformation frequency of 24.8% was achieved at the callusing phase. The presence of the transgenes in calli was confirmed by Southern hybridization and polymerase chain reaction analysis. The expression of the thaumatin-like protein gene in ginseng calli was demonstrated by Western blot analysis. Somatic embryos were produced from both transgenic calli and suspension cultures, and plantlets were recovered that expressed the transgenic thaumatin-like protein gene.

국내 육성 추파 품종인 '영산' 유채의 자엽 부착 잎자루 부위를 이용하여 재분화와 형질전환의 효율 증진에 영향을 주는 요인을 살펴보았다. 줄기 형성율은 NAA 0.5 mg/L와 Kinetin 2~4mg/L가 혼용 첨가된 배지에서 61~71%로 가장 양호하였다. 또한 질산은(Silver nitrate) 5~9 mg/L 첨가는 재분화에 필수적이었고, $GA_3$ 0.01 mg/L 첨가는 재분화에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 관찰되었다. 아그로박테리움의 Strain 종류, 공동배양 시간, 그리고 형질전환체 초기 선발시 항생제 농도 조절(저${\rightarrow}$고농도)에 따른 '영산' 유채의 형질전환 효율을 살펴본 결과, 아그로박테리움의 Strain 선정이 가장 중요한 요인으로 조사되었다. 특히, EHA105 succinamopine strain을 사용하였을 때 형질전환 효율이 26.8%로 가장 효과적이었다. Bar 유전자와 GUS 유전자가 내재된 형질전환체는 제초제 '바스타' 살포시 생존하고, X-Gluc으로 염색되었다. 그리고 Southern 분석을 통해 후대로 유전자가 안정적으로 유전됨을 확인하였다.

An efficient transformation system for high-throughput functional genomic studies of kiwifruit has been developed to overcome the problem of necrosis in Actinidia arguta explants. The system uses Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 harbouring the binary vector pART27-10 to inoculate leaf strips. The vector contains neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII) and ${\beta}$-glucuronidase (GUS) (uidA) genes. A range of light intensities and different strengths of Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal salt media was used to overcome the problem of browning and/or necrosis of explants and calli. Callus browning was significantly reduced, resulting in regenerated adventitious shoots when the MS basal salt concentration in the culture medium was reduced to half-strength at low light intensity ($3.4\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$) conditions. Inoculated leaf strips produced putative transformed shoots of Actinidia arguta on half-MS basal salt medium supplemented with 3.0 $mg\;l^{-1}$ zeatin, 0.5 $mg\;l^{-1}$ 6-benzyladenine, 0.05 $mg\;l^{-1}$ naphthalene acetic acid, 150 $mg\;l^{-1}$ kanamycin and 300 $mg\;l^{-1}$ $Timentin^{(R)}$. All regenerated plantlets were deemed putativ transgenic by histochemical GUS assay and polymerase chain-reaction analysis.

An Efficient in vitro regeneration system and an optimized Agrobacterium mediated transformation protocol are described, based on the use of young seedling cotyledons of Capsicum annuum L. Optimal regeneration efficiency can be obtained by cultivating cotyledon explants on media containing 4 mg/L benzyladenine and 0.1 mg/L indolacetic acid. The effect of antibiotics used to eliminate Agrobacteria, as well as the toxic level of some generally used selection agents (kanamycin, geneticin, hygromycin, phosphinotricin and methotrexate) in regenerating pepper tissues were determined. To enable the comparison of different selection markers in identical vector background, a set of binary vectors containing the marker genes for NPTII, HPT, DHFR and BAR respectively, as well as the CaMV 35S promoter/enhancer-GUS chimaeric gene was constructed and introduced into four different Agrobacterium host strains.

Chemical transformation of D-glucose to 2-keto-L-gulonic acid and L-ascorbic acid has been examined. D-Sorbitol obtained from D-glucose was microbiologically oxidized to L-sorbose by G. suboxydans in 90% yield. On treatment of L-sorbose with acetone in the presence of sulfuric acid, its diacetonide is obtained in 95% yield. This diacetonide is oxidized to the corresponding acid with nickel chloride-hypochlorite, and the acid is directly transformed to L-ascorbic acid. The over all yield of Vitamin C from D-glucose achieved is 54%.

본 연구에서는 잔류의약물질로써 환경에서 노출 빈도가 높은 항생물질인 Tetracycline (TTC)을 대상으로 수용액 상에서의 망간산화물(birnessite)을 이용한 산화-변환 반응을 통한 제거와 용존성 자연유기물인 휴믹산(HA) 존재에 따른 영향을 조사하였다. TTC의 산화-변환 제거 특성 실험은 다양한 반응조건(반응시간, 망간산화물 주입량 및 pH 등)에서 회분식으로 조사하였으며, HA의 영향은 pH (3~9)와 HA농도 변화에 따라 조사하였다. 실험결과는 유사-일차 반응속도식을 적용하여 해석하였으며, 본 실험조건(TTC=0.25 mM, ${\delta}-MnO_2=1.0g/L$)에서의 TTC의 산화-변환 제거 반응속도상수(k, $hr^{-1}$)는 pH가 감소함에 따라 0.98 (pH 9)에서 2.97 (pH 3)로 일정하게 증가하였고, 망간산화물 주입량(1~2 g/L)이 2배 증가할 때 반응속도 상수는 약 1.3배 정도 증가하였다. HA (5 mg-C/L) 존재 시 망간산화물에 의한 TTC 변환제거는 $pH{\geq}6$에서 반응효율 상승을 나타냈으며, HA의 주입농도(1~10 mg-C/L, at pH 6)의 증가에 따라 일정하게 증가함을 확인하였다. 이상에서 얻은 연구결과는 기존 문헌에 제시된 TTC 반응기작과 비교 해석하였고, 망간산화물을 매개로 한 TTC의 산환-변환 제거 반응특성과 HA의 존재가 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다.

Antibiotics used for suppressing Agrobacterium in plant transformation procedure might have negligible effects on plant tissues and regeneration. The effects of antibiotics on growth suppression of Agrobacterium and plant regeneration were investigated for enhancing Agrobacterium-mediated transformation using wheat mature embryos. Antibiotics tested, except carbenicillin, were able to suppress that embryos were coated with a layer of Agrobacterium cells in callus induction medium. Agrobacterium growth was suppressed minimally at 50 mg/l of timentin, while cefotaxime and clavamox were completely suppressed at relative high concentration of 250 mg/l. In the treatment of carbenicillin, initiation of growth suppression of Agrobacterium occurred at 750 mg/l of concentration because Agrobacterium KYRT1 contains the carbenicillin resistant gene. In Agrobacterium inoculation, effects of antibiotics were significantly different on the rate of callus induction and shoot formation. Almost embryos were induced calli at 50 mg/l of timentin whereas callus induction rate was achieved above 90% at 100 mg/l and 250 mg/l of cefotaxime and clavamox, respectively. Shoot formation rate was higher in the treatment of timentin than that of cefotaxime and clavamox at 500 mg/l of concentration, respectively. Timentin can be used as a good antibiotics in Agrobacterium-mediated wheat transformation.

Adenovirus group consists of over 100 related viruses which have been isolated from respiratory or gastro-intestinal tract of primate, cattle, dog and mice. Approximately 40 serologic types of adenovirus producing a variety of human respiratory and conjunctival infections were identified. Adenoviruses are icosahedral virions containing double-stranded linea DNA. They are 70nm to 90nm in diameter and each of capsid is composed of 252 capsomeres. Several numbers of this group, including types commonly associated with respiratory disease in man, are capable of producing malignant tumors in young hamsters and a few types have been shown to be on-cogenic in young rat. Previous report involving effect of Hormone on replication of adenovirus(9) has been carried out. The present report represents a continuation of previous study. To obtain evidence concerning the effect of caffeine on the transformation, investigation of adenovirus type 12 of this group was undertaken. For practical consideration it was desirable to investigation of the effect of caffeine on the adenovirus type 12-induced transformation in L cell. Results were as follows; 1. Adenovirus type 12-induced transformation was inhibited in the presence of caffeine. 2. Yields of adeoovirus type 12 in L cell were slightly inhibited by treatment of caffeine.

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is an important crop due to its high oil content in the seed. Recently, the demand for the improvement of crop for biodisel energy source is increased as oil prices in the world has increased dramatically. Until now, oilseed rape breeding was carried out by cross-hybridization between different varieties and related germplasms. However, like as many other crops, the application of tissue culture and gene transformation systems has been introduced into oilseed rape breeding program including the development of transgenic canola plants. In this study, we reviewed a history of tissue culture and genetic transformation research in oilseed rape plants and indicated some important aspects for the production of transgenic oilseed rape plants.
