This study was conducted to simple transformants selection by herbicide Basta treatment after transformation with Agrobacteium tumefaciens MP90/PAT in hybrid poplar(Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa No. 3). In preliminary study, we determined that the lethal concentration of herbicide Basta was 1.0mg/L in callus culture, adventitious bud formation and axillary bud elongation experiment. By the treatment of 1.0mg/L Basta, we could be selected the transformed shoots effectively from the various cultures. In addition, the treatment was useful on selection of transformants which are growing in soil pot. Finally, we also confirmed the transformation by PAT assay, Above results show that the herbicide Basta treatment and PAT assay can be a very simple and effective method for the identification of PAT gene transformed hybrid poplar.

This study was conducted to introduce phosphinothricin acetyl transferase (PAT) gene, resistant to basta which was non-selective herbicide, into balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorum A. De. candolle). Seeds were germinated on MS medium, and 10-day-old immature cotyledon explants and 30-day-old leaf explants were cocultured with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain MP 90 (pBinSyn) on 1/10 MS medium for 48 hours in the dark at $25^{\circ}C$. The cultures were transferred for selection of kanamycin-resistant shoots to the MS medium supplemented with 0.2 $mg/{\ell}$ NAA, 1.0 $mg/{\ell}$ BA, 3% sucrose, 100 $mg/{\ell}$ kanamycin, 500 $mg/{\ell}$ carbenicillin. Shoots were obtained from 10-day-old immature cotyledon explants after 4 weeks of culture. The shoots were subcultured twice every 4 weeks on the same medium for growth of transgenic shoots. Successful transformation was confirmed by histochemical GUS assay, PCR analysis, RT-PCR analysis, 10 $mg/{\ell}$ phosphinothricin treatment and 0.3% basta spray. The basta-resistant transgenic plants flowered normally.

With the use of Agrobacterium and gene-gun, cold regulated gene (BN115) has been injected in Chrysanthemum leaf disc and transgenic plants have been produced successfully on the selection media containing phytohormone. To determine the presence of the transferred cold regulated gene (BN115) in the transgenic Chrysanthemum, PCR-amplification indicated the presence of that gene. Real-Time PCR for confirmation of the putative transgenic plants was established. The copy number of cold regulated gene (BN115) is extrapolated on the basis of a standard curve. Serial dilutions of known number of gene copies were in triplicates. In this diagram, PCR cycles are plotted against the fluorescence intensity. The cycle at which the fluorescence reaches a threshold cycle is inversely proportional to the starting amount of target DNA.

Previous studies on genetic transformation of chrysanthemum using cold regulated gene (BN115) have been conducted and the PCR and Real-Time PCR based method to determine the presence of the transferred cold regulated gene in the chrysanthemum was established. To check whether over-expression of BN115 gene in transgenic chrysanthemum will enhance their tolerance to cold stress, the transgenic chrysanthemum were grown under low temperature condition and several cold signalling including growth characteristics, stoma size and shape, SPAD value and ion leakage test were investigated. The transgenic chrysanthemum in the low temperature growth chamber grow much faster in term of the height, number and size of the leaves than those of wild-type plants and damage of transgenic plant caused by the low temperature was much less than that of wild-type plants. The stoma type and size of transgenic plant leaves grown at $5^{\circ}C$ were much similar to of wild-type plant cultured on $25^{\circ}C$ It has been found that SPAD value of transgenic plants was much higher than those of wild-type, but the EC density being lower under low temperature condition.

The comparative effects of fibrinolytic, antioxidative activity and electrophoretical protein patterns with Cordyceps militaris powder (CM) and cordycepin-enriched Cordyceps militaris JLM0636 powder (CCM) and fermented cordycepin-enriched Cordyceps militaris JLM0636 powder by several microscopic organisms were investigated. In addition, nutritional materials such as mineral, protein, and fatty acids were also measured. The protein concentration was higher in CCM than that in CM. The protein concentration in fermented CCM was the highest in CCM treated by Aspergillus kawachii among the various samples. When total protein patterns of CM, CCM, and both fermented CCMs were analyzed by native- and SDS-PAGE, there were slightly varietal differences in electrophoretical protein patterns. Major minerals were K, Ca, Mg, and Zn. Major fatty acids were palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid. Fibrinolytic activity was the highest in the fermented CCM by Bs treatment among the various samples. The ${\alpha},{\alpha}^{\prime}$-diphenyl-${\beta}$-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity was slightly stronger in the CCM treated with Aspergillus kawachii among the various samples; however, these samples all exhibited relatively low levels of activity compared with the butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). These results may provide the basic data necessary to understand the biological activities and chemical characteristics of Cordyceps militaris JLM0636 powder fermented by several microscopic organisms to develop functional foods.

This research analyzed the status and problems of civilian expert programs for landscape architects to suggest alternatives to improve the current system. Literature research focused on the issues of the legal definition of civilian experts, the background of the program, and related regulations. Based on the understanding of the legal system, the research analyzed the operation status, structure, roles of the civilian expert program of local governments where landscape architects were delegated as civilian experts. Currently, 50 local governments are running the civilian expert program, and landscape architects are working as civilian experts in 11 institutions. The majority of landscape architects are working as MA or general architects. Only SMG runs an independent general landscape architect program. Based on the literature research and interviews with 16 experts, the research examined four main issues related to the program. First, the legal system issues of the civilian expert programs are related to the regulations assuming architects as experts. Revising the current legal system is a better alternative than promulgating a new law for landscape architects. Second, the compensation issue was a main problem related to operation. Securing a sufficient budget and more effective administration is required to solve the problem. Third, related to the role, the tasks being limited to consultation were regarded as the main problem. Although landscape architects wanted more opportunities to directly participate in the project's design, the fairness of the public project contracting system needed to be considered. Fourth, the competence issue is related to the number of available landscape architects. This issue can be solved by expanding the pool of civilian experts to adjacent disciplines, such as public design or landscape management.

This article is to report a new technique for reconstruction of the anteromedial and posterolateral bundles of anterior cruciate ligament by separate tensioning and fixation of the each bundle. Method : Tibial and femoral tunnels were made with conventional technique of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Tibial tunnel was enlarged $5\~7$ mm in anterior-posterior direction to make oval it in cross section. When preparing the Achilles tendon allograft, bone plug portion was trimmed as the conventional technique. The tendinous portion was trimmed as two separate bundles by dividing the tendinous portion longitudinally, so the graft is shaped like 'Y'. The bone plug portion of allograft was inserted into the femoral tunnel and fixed with absorbable cross pins. Two ligamentous portionss of the distal part of the grafts were tensioned separately at the external orifice. Anteromedial bundle was fastened under maximum tension with the knee flexed 90 degrees by post-tie method. The posterolateral bundle was fixed by the same technique with the knee in full extension. Then, an absorbable interference screw was inserted between the two bundles upto the upper end of the tibial tunnel, to get more initial rigidity of the reconstructed graft as well as to locate the two bundles in more anatomic position.
