호르몬이 결여되고 polyamine이 농도별로 처리된 M MS배지에서 10일 동안 발아생장(light, 16hrs: d dark, 8hrs) 시켜서 얻은 벼 잎 절편에서 엽록소 함 량은 polyamine 처리구가 대조구에 비해 높았으며, s spermine(O.OlmM, O.lmM, ImM) 이 가장 효과적이였다. 한편 chloroplast peroxidase의 활성은 polyamine 처리구가 대조구에 비해 전반적으로 높았으며, 특히 1mM spermidine 처리구는 약 100% 정도 활성을 증가시켰다. SDS-PAGE에 의해 chloroplast thylakoid membrane protein의 band를 조사한 결과 polyamine 처리구와 대조구에서 56, 2 25Kd의 major band를 얻었으며 이 band들의 total a area는 polyamine 처리구가 대조구 보다 더 높았다. 이러한 결과들은 벼 유식물에서 엽록체 발달에 p polyamine이 중요한 인자로 작용한 것으로 사료된다.

본 실험은 그늘쑥을 Agrobacterium을 통해 형질전환체인 모상근을 유기하고 모상근의 대량배양을 위해 모상근이 가장 잘 자라는 생장 조건을 찾기 위해 수행되었다. 실험 결과를 종합해 보면 선발된 그늘쑥 모상근 세포주의 대량 생산을 위한 최적 배지는 MS 기본 배지임을 확인하였다. 또한 최적의 havesting time 모상근의 성장률이 좋고 갈변과 배지의 미생물 오염도가 적은 4주가 적당한 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 광 처리 하에서 모상근을 배양하는 것보다는 암상태에서 모상근을 키우고 pH는 5.8 정도가 탄소원은 sucrose로 3.5%가 모상근 을 대량배양시 최적조건임을 확인되었다. 미량원소인 Fe$^{2＋}$은 0.1 mM을 처리하는 것이 모상근의 성장을 촉진하였으며 spermine과 spermidine은 각각 10 mM와 100 mM로 처리하는 것이 모상근의 성장을 높일 수 있다. 앞으로 연구는 이 결과를 토대로 모상근 대량 배양을 위한 scale up조건과 bioreator의 설계에 관한 연구가 필요하다.

In germinating pea, contents of enodgenous polyamine in the leaf and stem were determined, and protein content, peroxidase activity and pattern of isozymes were examined in the leaf treated with polyamines. During growth of the pea for 14 days in light condition, the polyamines in leaf and stem showed the highest level at the 5th day, and were decreased rapidly at the 7th day, kept almost constant level since then. The putrescine level was relatively higher than those of spermidine and spermine, and cadaverine was also detected. On the other hand, in the leaf treated with spermine (0.01 mM) protein content increased about 250% than that of the control, the peroxidase activity increased ore than 100% in spermine of 0.01 mM and 0.1 mM. In treating with putrescine of 0.1 mM the pattern of peroxidase isozyme appeared 4 new cathodic bands (pI 4.8, 5.6, 5.9 and 6.8) compared with the control, the clear cathodic bands (pI 5.6, 5.9, 6.4 and 6.6) were also observed in spermine of 0.1 mM. These results suggest that polyamines were important factor in the differentiation of pea at the early stage of germination.

Since the advent of chemotherapy, certain types of cancer have been particularly resistant to chemotherapeutic treatment. One of the most well-studied types of resistance is resistance to multiple struc-turally dissimialr hydrophobic chemotherapeutic agents, or multidrug resistance (MDR). We found that MDR cells (KBV20C, KB7D) being highly resistant to colchicine, etoposide, and vincristine were found to have very low level of putrescine and low level of spermidine than the drug sensitive parental cells (KB) but they had almost same level of spermine as the drug sensitive cells. Although both MDR and drug sensitive cells had almost same rate of polyamine uptake, MDR cells were much more sensitive to an inhibitor of polyamine synthesis, methylglyoxal-bis guanylhydrazone (MGBG), suggesting that MDR cells might be defective in polyamine synthesis. These results also suggest that HGBG can be used for treatment of MDR in vivo.

The effects of Ca2+ on polyamines on callose contents of carrot suspension cultured cells were studied. The regeneration process of the cell wall of carrot protoplast observed through the electron microscope. Treatment of the carrot suspension cultured cells with Ca2+ and polyamines resulted in considerable increase on callose contents at 0.1 mM of Ca2+ and polyamines, particulary spermidine. Poly-L-lysine and poly-L-ornithine increased about 30% and 100% of callose contents than that of the control respectively, whereas verapamil and flunarizine markedly decreased the callose contents. These effects of Ca2+ of free ion rather than as Ca2+-calmodulin complex. During the cultivation of the protoplast, the regeneration of the cell wall was somewhat observed on the 4th day, however, it was inhibited by verapamil. These results suggested that the promotive action of Ca2+ and polyamines were manifested in the callose contents and the regeneraton of the cell wall.

Polyamine levels in the male and female cells as well as DNA methyltransferase activity in the female cells during gametogenesis of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii indicated that both spermidine and spermine levels were decreased while DNA methyltransferase activity was markedly increased about 12 hours after the onset of gametogenesis. In vitro, putrescine and spermine at 1 mM inhibited methylation of chloroplasts DNA isolated from vegetative female cells by 35% and 65%, respectively. Spermine was found to be more inhibitory than putrescine at all concentrations tested. The pattern of the inhibition by polyamines appeared different from that caused by cations. The results obtained in this work suggest that the polyamine inhibition of DNA methylation is due to an action of polyamines on the enzyme involved instead of on the DNA itself.

Restriction enzyme inhibiting substance (REIS) extracted from spinach chloroplast and Chlamydomonas seems not to be proteinaceous, because its inhibiting activity was not lost by heat or trypsin treatment. And it seems not to be lipid or polysacchride, because its inhibiting activity was not lost by lipase or $\alpha$-amylase treatment, respectively. In Chlamydomonas, putrescine, spermidine and spermine were present. The amount of putrescine was the smallest and that of spermie was the greatest. But only spermine was contained in REIS and the activity of REIS. It was proportional to the amount of spermine in REIS and it was hindered by Na+ ion. So, the inhibiting activity of REIS seems to be deeply related to spermine contained in REIS. But restriction enzyme inhibiting activity remained to the some extent although salts and spermine were eliminated by dialysis.

Kinetin(4.7$\times$10\ulcornerM) and 6-benzylaminopurine (2.2$\times$10\ulcornerM) were found to increase ca. 1.5-fold putrescice content in corn grown in medium containing kinetin and 6-benzylaminopurine(6-BAP) for 3days whereas kinetin was found to decrase ca. 30% spermidine and spermine, respectively. KCI (3$\times$10\ulcornerM) was found to decrease more than 50% putrescine content. After germination, ornithine decarboxylase activity was observed to increase constantly whereas arginine decarboxylase activity remained constant, suggesting involvement in putrescine biosynthesis. 6-benzylaminopurine was shown to increase more activities of arginine ornithine decarboxylase than kinetin when they were added to medium.

An experimental system for the possibility of association between cultured plant cells and a cyanobacterium (N. muscorum) was investigated. The association was established in nitrogen-free medium, and nitrogen source was provided by N. muscorum through its own nitrogen fixation. N. muscorum was distributed on the outer part and intercellular spaces of the cultured plant cells. Polyamines were treated to the nitrogen-free medium to improve the association. Polyamines increased nitrogenase activity and protein amount in the association between N. muscorum and the cultured plant cells, as compared to the association without polyamines. Especially, spermine showed an increasing effect on the nitrogenase activity and the protein content in the association of tobacco and N. muscorum, while spermidine showed similar effect in case of soybean and N. muscorum.
