Beauveria bassiana F-101, which has high toxicity toward Acantholyda parki as well as Thecodiplosis japonensis, was an isolate to develop an alternative control system against the major forest pests. Up to now, in B. bassiana, only one pr1 gene has been isolated and characterized. Therefore, we here reported the identification of a pr1-like gene, which would be a factor of toxicity from B. bassiana F-101. The oligonucleotides for the amplification of the pr1-like gene, were chosen based on the conserved regions of the subtilisin family enzymes, pr1 genes of B. bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae, and proteinase K of Tritirachium album. The cloned PCR fragment had 1111 bp including 52 bp intron. The deduced Pr1-like peptide showed a low identity with Pr1s of entomopathogenic fungi such as B. bassiana Pr1 (BbPr1) and M. anisopliae Pr1 (MaPr1) as well as the proteinase K of T. album (TaPrK). Instead, the deduced peptide had a substantially high amino acid sequence identity $(>65\%)$ with the serine proteases of Magnaporthe grisea (MgSPM1) and Podospora anserina (PaPspA). These results, therefore, appear to suggest that the putative Pr1-like peptide of B. bassiana F-101 belongs to the subtilisin-like serine protease family and may be a novel gene.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate developmental gene expression of antimicrobial peptide PR-39 and effect of zinc oxide on gene regulation of PR-39 in piglets using semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis. In experiment 1, fifteen female Tai-Hu pigs (a local breed in China) in five groups, each of three pigs at 1, 14, 28, 42 and 56 days of age were used to determine effect of age and weaning on mRNA expression of PR-39. In experiment 2, nine groups of pigs (total seventy-two female 36 days-age weanling Tai-Hu piglets) were assigned to three treatments (${ZnO}_0$, ${ZnO}_{100}$ and ${ZnO}_{3000}$). The feeding experimental period lasted 15 days. After feeding experiment, nine pigs with three animals in each treatment were chosen to determine the effect of ZnO on PR-39 mRNA expression of pigs. The results showed that PR-39 mRNA levels increased steadily in postnatal day 1-28 (preweaning), and weaning significantly decreased PR-39 mRNA expression of piglets (p<0.05). ${ZnO}_{3000}$ (3,000 mg zinc/kg diet) significantly increased PR-39 mRNA expression (p<0.05) when piglets were feed ${ZnO}_{3000}$ diet for 15 days. ${ZnO}_{100}$ (100 mg zinc/kg diet) also increased PR-39 gene expression, but the result was not statistically significant (p>0.05). The result was in accordance with the effect of ${ZnO}_{3000}$ and ${ZnO}_{100}$ on weight gain of piglets and prevention of diarrhea.

VVTL1은 포도 과육에서 특이적으로 다량 발현되는, PR5 계열의 thaumatin과 높은 상동성을 나타내는 단백질로서, 품종에 따라 염기서열의 차이를 나타낸다고 알려져 있다. 현재까지 포도의 VVTL1에 대해서 몇몇 연구가 진행되었지만, 우리나라에서 가장 많이 재배되는 품종인 캠벨에서는 전혀 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 캠벨 품종으로부터 VVTL1-homolog 유전자의 게놈 DNA를 분리하여, 염기서열을 분석하였다. VVTL1-homolog 유전자는 일반적으로 PR5 유전자의 구조와 동일한 구조인, intron이 없는 하나의 exon으로만 구성되어 있었다. 염기서열로부터 추론된 VVTL1-homolog 단백질의 아미노산 서열은 VVTL1을 비롯한 다른 품종의 포도에서 분리된 TLP와는 달리 염기성의 등전점을 가지고 있었다. Primer extension 분석을 통해 전사개시 부위를 결정하였고, promoter영역을 포함하는 5'upstream 지역에 전사에 중요한 TATA box (4개)와 CAAT box (1개)가 존재하였으나, 이들의 위치와 수는 다른 PR5 유전자의 promoter와는 다랐다. 이러한 연구결과는 VVTL1-homolog 유전자의 발현이 과육 성숙과정동안 abscisic acid와 스트레스 또는 자극에 의해 발현이 유도되고 있음을 제시해준다. 포도 과육특이발현 promoter인 VVTL1-homolog 유전자의 promoter 분리는, 유전자의 도입에 의해 유용형질을 과육에 나타내는 포도품종을 개발하고자 할 때 효율적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

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.

초파리의 유전자 purple과 여기서 만들어내는 효소 sepiatperin synthase를 사용하여 염색체상의 위치에 EK른 유전자의 ontogenic expression과의 관계에 대해 연구하였다. 전위된 purple mutant $T(Y:2)pr^c5, 추/pr%c4 추$의 성체는 wild type과 $pr^1$에 비하여 이 효소의 activity가 현격한 감소를 나타내었으나 이 activity의 감소는 larval stage에서 발견되지 않았다. 이것으로 미루어 보아 Y염색체상의 purple 유전자가 늦은 larval stage나 이른 pupal stage에 불활성화 된 것으로 사료된다. Tryptophan pyrrolase는 eye pigment 생합성에 관여하는 유전자인 vermilion에서 만들어지는데, 이 효소의 활성도 역시 초파리의 발생단계에 따라 측정하였다. 전위된 vermilion gene을 가지고 있는 초파리의 한 mutant는 발생과정중 늦은 larval stage에서 activity peak을 보여주는데 반하여 Oregon-R은 이 시기에서 가장 낮은 activity를 나타내었다.

These experiments were carried out to find genetic polymorphisms of Serum protein like Pre-albumin(Pr), Albumin(Al) and Transferrin(Tf), and establish preservation of pure pedigree in Korean Native Goats(KNG). Their serum was collected and examined from the total of 74 KNG that raised in Tang Jin district, Chungnam-province. They were biochemically analysed by polyacrylamide gel(7.5%) electrophoresis(PAGE) in order to estimate the frequencies of genotypes and alleles existing on each trait locus. The results obtained in these experiments were summarized as follows ; 1. In the serum Pre-albumin(Pr) locus, the frequencies of genotypes for hetero AB and homo BB observed were 55.4%, and 44.6%, respectively. While homo AA was not found in the Pr locus. The frequencies of gene in PrA and PrB were 0.723 and 0.277, respectively. Accordingly, the Pr loci were assumed to be controlled by alleles PrA and PrB. 2. The frequencies of genotypes of homo BB and hetero AB detected in Albumin(Al) locus were 75.7% and 24.3%, respectively. However, AA type was not observed in the Al locus. The gene frequencies of AlA an AlB were 0.879 and 0.121, respectively. Also, the Al loci were considered to be controlled by alleles AlA and AlB. 3. The frequencies of genotypes for hetero AD and homo DD found in Transferrin (Al) locus were 79.7% and 20.3%, respectively. Whereas, homotype AA was not detected in this locus. The gene frequencies of TfA and TfD were 0.399 and 0.601, respectively. Therefore, the serum Tf loci were assumed to be controlled by alleles Tfa and Tfd.

Cytokinin은 식물의 성장과 발달에 중요한 역할을 하는 필수 호르몬이다. mRNA differential display 방법으로 애기장대 amp1 돌연변이체로부터 cytokinin에 의하여 발현이 유도되는 PR4 유전자를 분리하였다. AtPR4로 명명한 애기장대 PR4 유전자는 212개의 아미노산으로 구성되어 있었으며 분자량은 22,900이고 등전점은 7.89로 추정되었다. Genomic DNA 분석결과, AtPR4는 single copy 유전자인 것으로 나타났다. AtPR4의 mRNA는 cytokinin과 NaCl에 의해서는 발현이 유도되었지만 SA와 JA에 의해서는 발현이 억제되었다. PR 단백질은 내병성 등 생체방어기작에 관여하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 분리한 애기장대 PR4 유전자는 내병성 목초 품종의 개발에 유용하게 사용될 것으로 사료된다.

Wild rice, Oryza grandiglumis shows hyper-resistance response to pathogen infection. In order to identify genes necessary for defense response in plants, we have carried out a subtractive hybridization coupled with a cDNA macroarray. An acidic PATHOGENESIS-RELATED1 (PR1) gene of the wild rice is highly identical to the acidic PR1 genes of different plant species. The OgPR1a cDNA has an apparent single open reading frame with a predicted molecular mass 40,621 Da and an isoelectic point of 5.14. Both in silico analysis and a transient expression assay in onion epidermal cells revealed that the OgPR1a protein could be localized in intercellular space in plants. The OgPR1a mRNA was strongly transcribed by the exogenous treatment with ethylene and jasmonic acid as well as protein phosphatase inhibitors. Additionally, ectopic expression of the OgPR1a conferred disease resistance on Arabidopsis to the bacterial and fungal infections.
