꽃양배추 '은배' 종자를 무균 파종한 후 6일째된 하배축 조직을 BA 1㎎/L, sucrose 30㎎/L한천 8 g/L가 첨가된 MS 재분화배지에 1일간 전처리한 다음, PI promoter-GUS 융합 유전자가 도입된 Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA 4404와 2일간 동일조성의 MS 액체배지에서 공동배양하여 carbenicillin 500 ㎎/L와 kanamycin 20 ㎎/L가 첨가된 MS 재분화배지로 옮겨 주었을 때 가장 많은 형질전환체를 얻을 수 있었다. PCR 분석결과, PI promoter-GUS 융합 유전자가 형질전환체의 게놈상에 삽입되어 있음을 확인하였다. Southern 분석결과, ECL-labelling된 PI promoter-GUS 융합 유전자 probe의 coding sequence와 동일한 것으로 판단되는 약 366bp 위치에서 밴드를 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 형질 전환되지 않은 식물체에서는 이들 밴드를 확인할 수 없었다. 조직내 GUS 유전자의 활성은 잎부위에서부터 시작하여 엽병과 줄기의 관다발을 중심으로 나타났으며 상처의 정도가 심할수록 높은 편이었고 그 범위도 넓었다.

Diseases caused by begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae, genus Begomovirus) constitute a serious constraint to tropical and sub-tropical agro-ecosystems worldwide. In recent years, they have also introduced in temperate regions of the world where they have great impact and are posing a serious threat to a variety of greenhouse crops. Begomoviral diseases can in extreme cases reduce yields to zero leading to catastrophic losses in agriculture. They are still evolving and pose a serious threat to sustainable agriculture across the world, particularly in tropics and sub-tropics. Till recently, there have been no records on the occurrence of begomoviral disease in South Korea, however, the etiology of other plant viral diseases are known since last century. The first begomovirus infected sample was collected from sweet potato plant in 2003 and since then there has been gradual increase in the begomoviral epidemics specially in tomato and sweet potato crops. So far, 48 begomovirus sequences originating from various plant species have been submitted in public sequence data base from different parts of the country. The rapid emergence of begomoviral epidemics might be with some of the factors like evolution of new variants of the viruses, appearance of efficient vectors, changing cropping systems, introduction of susceptible plant varieties, increase in global trade in agricultural products, intercontinental transportation networks, and changes in global climatic conditions. Another concern might be the emergence of a begomovirus complex and satellite DNA molecules. Thorough understanding of the pathosystems is needed for the designing of effective managements. Efforts should also be made towards the integration of the resistant genes for the development of transgenic plants specially tomato and sweet potato as they have been found to be widely infected in South Korea. There should be efficient surveillance for emergence or incursions of other begomoviruses and biotypes of whitefly. This review discusses the general characteristics of begomoviruses, transmission by their vector B. tabaci with an especial emphasis on the occurrence and distribution of begomoviruses in South Korea, and control measures that must be addressed in order to develop more sustainable management strategies.

We evaluated a commercial biopreparation of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains Bacillus subtilis GB03 and B. amyloliquefaciens IN937a formulated with the carrier chitosan (Bio Yield) for its capacity to elicit growth promotion and induced systemic resistance against infection by Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV) and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 in Arabidopsis thaliana. The biopreparation promoted plant growth of Arabidopsis hormonal mutants, which included auxin, gibberellic acid, ethylene, jasmonate, salicylic acid, and brassinosteroid insensitive lines as well as each wild-type. The biopreparation protected plants against CMV based on disease severity in wild-type plants. However, virus titre was not lower in control plants and those treated with biopreparation, suggesting that the biopreparation induced tolerance rather than resistance against CMV. Interestingly, the biopreparation induced resistance against CMV in NahG plants, as evidenced by both reduced disease severity and virus titer. The biopreparation also elicited induced resistance against P. syringae pv. tomato in the wild-type but not in NahG transgenic plants, which degrade endogenous salicylic acid, indicating the involvement of salicylic acid signaling. Our results indicate that some PGPR strains can elicit plant growth promotion by mechanisms that are different from known hormonal signaling pathways. In addition, the mechanism for elicitation of induced resistance by PGPR may be pathogen-dependent. Collectively, the two-Bacilli strain mixture can be utilized as a biological inoculant for both protection of plant against bacterial and viral pathogens and enhancement of plant growth.

Soybean plants infected with Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) develop acute symptoms that usually decrease in severity over time. In other plant-virus interactions, this type of symptom recovery has been associated with degradation of viral RNAs by RNA silencing, which is accompanied by the accumulation of virus-derived small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). In this study, changes in the accumulation of BPMV siRNAs were investigated in soybean plants infected with BPMV alone, or infected with both BPMV and Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) and in transgenic soybean plants expressing SMV helper component-protease (HC-Pro). In many potyviruses, HC-Pro is a potent suppressor of RNA silencing. In plants infected with BPMV alone, accumulation of siRNAs was positively correlated with symptom severity and accumulation of BPMV genomic RNAs. Plants infected with both BPMV and SMV and BPMV-infected transgenic soybean plants expressing SMV HC-Pro exhibited severe symptoms characteristic of BPMVSMV synergism, and showed enhanced accumulation of BPMV RNAs and siRNAs compared to plants infected with BPMV alone and nontransgenic plants. Likewise, SMV HC-Pro enhanced the accumulation of siRNAs produced from a silenced green fluorescent protein gene in transient expression assays, while the P19 silencing suppressor of Tomato bushy stunt virus did not. Consistent with the modes of action of HC-Pro in other systems, which have shown that HC-Pro suppresses RNA silencing by preventing the unwinding of duplex siRNAs and inhibiting siRNA methylation, these studies showed that SMV HC-Pro interfered with the activities of RNA-induced silencing complexes, but not the activities of Dicer-like enzymes in antiviral defenses.

A DNA extraction method using Chelex 100 is widely used for bacteria, Chlamydomonas, and animal cell lines, but only rarely for plant materials due to the need for additional time-consuming and tedious steps. We have modified the Chelex 100 protocol and successfully developed a rapid and simple method of DNA extraction for efficient PCR-based detection of transgenes from a variety of transgenic plant and algal species. Our protocol consists of homogenizing plant tissue with a pestle, boiling the homogenized tissue in a microfuge tube with 5% Chelex 100 for 5 min, and centrifuging the boiled mixture. The supernatant, which is used for PCR analysis, was able to successfully amplify transgenes in transgenic tobacco, tomato, potato, Arabidopsis, rice, strawberry, Spirodela polyrhiza, Chlamydomonas, and Porphyra tenera. The entire DNA extraction procedure requires <15 min and is therefore comparable to that used for bacteria, Chlamydomonas, and animal cell lines.

We previously identified and characterized a predominantly pollen-expressed gene of Petunia inflata that encodes a receptor-like kinase named PRK1. The extracellular domain of PRK1 contains leucine-rich repeats which have been implicated in protein-protein interactions, and the cytoplasmic domain was found to autophosphorylate on serine and tyrosine. To investigate the function PRK1 in pollen development, we transformed P. inflata plants with a construct containing the promoter of a predominantly pollen-expressed gene of tomato, LAT52, fused to an antisense PRK1 cDNA corresponding to part of the extracellular domain of PRK1, There transgenic plants were found to each produce approximately equal amounts of normal and aborted pollen. Analysis of the inheritance of the transgene inserts in two of the transgenic plants, ASRK-13 and ASRK-20, to their progeny revealed that certain transgene inserts cosegregated with the pollen abortion phenotype. Microscopic examination of the aborted pollen grains showed that their outer wall, the exine, was essentially normal, but that their cytoplasm contained only starch-like granules. Staining of the nuclei of the microspores at different stages of uninucleate stage. However, at subsequent stages half of the microspores completed mitosis and developed into normal binucleate pollen, but the other half initially remained uninucleate, then lost their nucleio. Analysis of the amounts of PRK1 mRNA and the antisense PRK1 transcript suggested that the pollen abortion phenotype most likely resulted from down-regulation of the PRK1 gene by the antisense PRK1 transgene. These results suggest that PRK1 plays an essential role in a signal transduction pathway that mediates post-meiotic development of microspores.

야생종 토마토의 자가불화합성에 관여하는 S RNase 유전자를 자가화합성인 재배종 토마토에 도입하여 형질전환 식물체를 만들었다. 재조합 Ti-plasmid pBI-S$_{11}$을 제작하여 Agrobacteria를 이용한 leaf disc transformation방법으로 재배종 토마토에 형질전환시켰으며, Southern분석을 통해 형질전환 식물체의 염색체 내에 자가불화합성 유전자가 안정된 구조로 도입되었는지 확인하였다. 형질전환 식물체의 화주 단백질을 이용하여 RNase활성 염색을 하여 화주 내 5단백질의 활성을 확인하였다. 또한 형질전환 식물체의 화주 단백질을 이용하여 western분석을 수행한 결과, 야생종 토마토 유래의 자가불화합성 유전자에 의해 5단백질을 정확하게 발현하는 식물체를 확인, 선발하였다. 선발된 형질전환 식물체의 화분, 화주, 화변, 잎, 줄기 등 5개의 조직을 western분석하여 5 RNase 유전자가 야생종 토마토에서와 유사한 형태로 화주조직에서만 높게 발현되며 형질전환된 재배종 토마토에서도 조직 특이적으로 발현한다는 것을 확인하였다. 위의 결과로 야생종 토마토에서 자가불화합성에 결정적인 영향을 미치는 S RNase를 재배종 토마토에 발현시켰을 때 자가불화합성을 나타내는 재배종 토마토의 표현형은 변화가 없다는 것과 어떠한 형태적인 변화도 없다는 사실을 확인하였다. 그리고 배우자체 자가불화합성 기작에는 화주쪽의 S RNase 이외에 화분쪽의 또 다른 기구가 있다는 것을 추측할 수 있었다.
