  • Orostachys japonicus A. Berger is a Perennial herbaceous plant which has been traditionally used as an anti-inflammatory agent to treat hepatitis and as an anticancer agent. The objective of this study was 1) to establish and proliferate in vitro plant of O. japonicus 2) to induce indirect somatic embryogenesis from O. japonicus. General calli and embryogenic calli in all ranges of 2,4-D and BA combination, were induced and were best at 22% (embryogenic cell) in 5.0 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/L BA combination. Embryogenic cell line was maintained by subculture at 2 week intervals and transferred to solid and liquid medium for embryo formation. In solid medium culture, globular and heart shaped embryos were observed in MS medium containing 5.0 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/L BA combination. The number of embryos was 6.5 per 0.5 g cell, and then the immature embryos transferred to MS basal medium for embryo development. In a suspension culture of embryogenic cells, globular and heart shaped embryos were emerged in MS medium supplemented with 3.0 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.3 mg/L BA combination after 10 days of incubation. The embryo formation rate was about 33% by suspension culture. The ratio of embryo germination was 60.9%, on the other side, the root formation rate was 74.3% in 1/2 MS continuously.

  • Ion-pair reverse phase HPLC techniques were used to compare the contents of IAA and IAAsp in the embryogenic and non-embryogenic calli derived from ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) root tissues. The contents of IAA and IAAsp of the embryogenic callus were much higher (7 to 18 X respectively) than those of non-embryogenic callus. There is a distinct fluorescent peak of an unknown component in the HPLC profile of the extract for indolic compounds from non-embryo-genic callus. This distinct difference may be employed as a promising parameter to screen the culture pieces for obtaining the calli with high potential for embryoid formation.

  • Sweet potato cells derived from Yulmi were isolated from embryogenic callus and irradiated with 50 Gy dose. Resistant cells were selected on a MS medium containing 1.0 mM S-aminoethyl-L-cysteine (AEC). This level of AEC approximately inhibits non-selected wild type cells. The callus resistant to this analog of lysine was subcultured for 30 days in absence of AEC to proliferate. The three resistant calli (AR-1, AR-2 and AR-3) with better growth were divvied into 0.5~1mm diameter and placed on MS medium with 0, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mM AEC. There are considerable growth difference between control callus and AEC resistant callus on the AEC-medium. The selected calli were placed on the hormone-free medium for regeneration. Three plantlets, five plantlets and six plantlets were recovered from AR-1, AR-2 and AR-3 calli, respectively. Each two regenerants in AR-1, AR-2 and AR3 were randomly selected for RAPD and SDS PAGE analysis. RAPD polymorph isms between Yulmi and AEC resistant plant from irradiated calli were detected in several Wako primers. Also, it was identified that two AEC resistant plants had higher protein than the original variety Yulmi.

  • Calli were induced from leaf base region of germinated rice(Oryza sativa L. cv. Nakdong) with high frequency of up to 65% on LS medium supplemented with $2.5mg/{\ell}2$, 4-D in the dark at $27^{\circ}C$. Embryogenic calli of pale yellow, globular type were selected and used for the initiation of cell suspension cultures in AA2 liquid medium with $2mg/\ell$ 2,4-D, 0.2mg/$\ell$ kinetin arid $0.1mg/\ell$ GA3. Protoplasts were isolated from the embryogenic cell suspensions after 4 months of culture and then were electroporated with 400V/cm for 1 msec. Electroporated protoplasts divided with plating efficiency of 1.1% on PCM liquid medium supplemented with $2.5mg/\ell$ 2, 4-D, $0.1mg/\ell$ kinetin and 10mM proline. The protoplasts-derived microcalli were cultured on $0.2{\mu}m$ membrane fitter placed onto LS2.5 solid medium containing fine suspension cells as a feeder cells, for 2 weeks in the dark at $27^{\circ}C$. After an additional 2 weeks of culture under fluorescent light of $30{\pm}/3{\mu}E$.m^{-2}S^{-1}, yellow calli of 2mm diameter were transferred to regeneration medium. Shoots were produced from the green spot of protoplasts-derived calli and plants were regenerated form protoplast-derived green calli with frequencies of 11∼33%.

  • Panax ginseng root has been used as a major source of ginsenoside throughout the history of oriental medicine. In recent years, scientists have found that all of its biomass, including embryogenic calli and flower buds can contain similar active ingredients with pharmacological functions. In this study, transcriptome analyses were used to identify different gene expressions from embryogenic calli and fl ower buds. In total, 6,226 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were obtained from cDNA libraries of P. ginseng. Insilico analysis was conducted to annotate the putative sequences using gene ontology functional analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes orthology biochemical analysis, and interproscan protein functional domain analysis. From the obtained results, genes responsible for growth, pathogenicity, pigments, ginsenoside pathway, and development were discussed. Almost 83.3% of the EST sequence was annotated using one-dimensional insilico analysis.

  • Plastid transformation was attempted with soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] leaves and photoautotrophic and embryogenic cultures by particle bombardment using the transforming vector pZVII that carries the coding sequences for both subunits of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Rubisco and a spectinomycin resistance gene (aadA). Spectinomycin resistant calli were selected from the bombarded leaves but the transgene was not present, indicating that the resistance was due to mutations. The Chlamydomonas rbcL and rbcS genes were shown to be site-specifically integrated into the plastid genome of the embryogenic cells with a very low transformation efficiency. None of the transformed embryogenic lines survived the plant regeneration process so no whole plants were recovered. This result does indicate that it should be possible to insert genes into the plastid genome of the important crop soybean if the overall methods are improved.

  • Zygotic embryos just after harvest of seeds were immature globular to heart stage. Maturation of zygotic embryos rapidly proceed when zygotic embryos together with small excised parts of endosperm were cultured on 1/3-strength MS solid medium with 2% sucrose, and the zygotic embryos were germinated within two months. Embryogenic callus was formed from the excised segments of germinating zygotic embryos of Eleutherococcus pedunclus on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with $4.5{\mu}M$ 2,4-D. The embryogenic callus formation occurred at a low frequency (less than 7%) from hypocotyl segments. The embryogenic calli were maintained on the same medium as primary medium. High frequency somatic embryogenesis was obtained after the cells were transferred to medium lacking 2,4-D. Cotyledonary embryos were germinated and converted into plantlets on medium with $20{\mu}M$ $GA_3$. Embryogenic callus and somatic embryos were produced spontaneously on the surfaces of roots and/or hypocotyls of plantlets. The frequency of embryogenic callus formation was 85% in roots and 34% in hypocotyls. Therefore maintain of cell lines performed very easily. Plantlets with developed epicotyls at more than 3 cm acclimatized at high frequency (89%). While plantlets with small epicotyls (less than 1 cm) were acclimatized at low rate (32%). The soil survived plantlets produced new sprouts after over wintering in the field.

  • Plant regeneration was accomplished from protoplast culture of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Taebaeg). Embryogenic callus was induced from mature seed on MS medium containing 5 mM proline, 2.5 mg/L 2,4-D, 30 g/L sucrose in the dark at 28$^{\circ}C$ and used to establish embryogenic cell suspension culture. Suspension cells were subcultured every one week in N6 medium supplemented with 5 mM proline, 200 mg/L casein hydrolysate, 2.5 mg/L 2,4-D and amino acids of AA medium. Suspension cultures were composed of cells that were densely cytoplasmic, potentially embryogenic and were at least maintained for more than 6 months in liquid medium. Protoplasts were isolated from fast-growing suspension culture cells and cultured in a slightly modified KpR medium by mixed nurse culture. Isolated protoplasts began to divide within 5~7 days and thereafter, protoplast-derived calli were sequentially transferred to callus proliferating medium that soft agar MS medium contained 2 mg/L 2,4-D and produced distinct embryogenic cells. Microcolonies were then transferred to solid medium which consisted of MS medium containing 5 mg/L kinetin, 1 mg/L NAA, 1 mg/L ABA, 30 g/L sucrose and 10 g/L sorbitol under fluorescent light. Mulitple shoots of 4~5 per callus emerged and were transferred to hormone-free MS medium for root initiation. Thereafter, The plantlets were transferred to pots of soil to mature in the culture room.
