We report an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation procedure optimized for 'Kyoho' that is a major table grapevine cultivar in Korea, and its transgenic plants with antifreeze protein gene of carrot (DcAFP). The full length of DcAFP coding region in accordance with the previous report was isolated from young leaves of carrot and recombined into a plant transformation vector. Ethylene inhibitors such as silver nitrate and aminoethoxyvinylglycin (AVG) supplemented in a co-cultivation medium distinctly increased frequency of shoot regeneration when explants were sub-cultured in a selection medium: particularly ten-fold higher in treatment with 0.1 mg/L AVG than one without ethylene inhibitor. Among various antibiotics and their concentrations, the combination of 150 mg/L cefotaxime plus 150 mg/L $Clavamox^{TM}$ was selected for elimination of Agrobacterium cells in addition to minimization of adverse effect on shoot regeneration, while 50 mg/L kanamycin monosulfate effectively suppressed regeneration of non-transgenic shoots. Applying the elucidated culture condition, we finally obtained a total of 5 transgenic 'Kyoho' plantlets with DcAFP, of which integration with the grapevine genome and transcription was confirmed by nucleic acid analyses.

The tomato ripening associated membrane protein (TRAMP) (Fray et al., 1994) is a member of the major intrinsic protein (MIP) family, defined as channels facilitating the passage of water and small solutes through membranes. During normal fruit ripening the TRAMP mRNA levels were increased whereas the expression levels of TRAMP in low ethylene ACO1-sense suppressed lines, Nr and rin fruits, were lower than at the breaker stage of wild type fruit. TRAMP mRNA is inhibited by $LaCl_3$, which is an inhibitor of $Ca^{2+}$-stimulated responses, treatment but drought condition did not affect TRAMP expression. The levels of TRAMP mRNA transcripts were substantially higher in the dark treated seedlings and fruits. These suggest that TRAMP function as a water channel may be doubted because of several reasons; no water content was changed during ripening in wild type, antisense and overexpression lines, TRAMP expression under light condition was lower than dark condition and TRAMP expression was not changed in drought condition. Co-suppression plant, 3588 was one of sense suppression lines, which contain CaMV 35S promoter and sense pNY507 cDNA, produced small antisense RNA, approximately 21-25 nucleotides in length, mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing. Therefore, TRAMP expression was inhibited by small antisense and multiple copies might induce gene silencing without any production of double strand RNA. Total seven selected volatile productions, isobutylthiazole, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, hexanal, hexenal methylbutanal, hexenol, and methylbutanol, were highly reduced in sense line whereas total volatile production was increased in TRAMP antisense line. These results suggested TRAMP might change volatile related compounds.

1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase, which is encoded by some bacteria, can reduce the amount of ethylene, a root elongation inhibitor, and stimulate the growth of plants under various environmental stresses. The presence of ACC deaminase activity and the regulation of ACC in several rhizospheric bacteria have been reported. The nitrogen-fixing Pseudomonas stutzeri A1501 is capable of endophytic association with rice plants and promotes the growth of rice. However, the functional identification of ACC deaminase has not been performed. In this study, the proposed effect of ACC deaminase in P. stutzeri A1501 was investigated. Genome mining showed that P. stutzeri A1501 carries a single gene encoding ACC deaminase, designated acdS. The acdS mutant was devoid of ACC deaminase activity and was less resistant to NaCl and NiCl₂ compared with the wild-type. Furthermore, inactivation of acdS greatly impaired its nitrogenase activity under salt stress conditions. It was also observed that mutation of the acdS gene led to loss of the ability to promote the growth of rice under salt or heavy metal stress. Taken together, this study illustrates the essential role of ACC deaminase, not only in enhancing the salt or heavy metal tolerance of bacteria but also in improving the growth of plants, and provides a theoretical basis for studying the interaction between plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and plants.

The influences of ethylene inhibitors ($AgNO_3$ and silver thiosulfate) and cytokinins (BAP and TDZ) on shoot regeneration from cotyledon and hypocotyl explants of B. napus cv. Youngsan were investigated. The presence of $50{\mu}M$ Silver thiosulfate (STS) in shoot regeneration medium formed shoots at 60-68% after 3-4 weeks of culture, which was enhanced by 2-fold compared to that of Silver nitrate ($AgNO_3$). Moreover, cotyledon explants were more regenerative than hypocotyls; shoots from cotyledon explants began to occur 4-5 days earlier than that of hypocotyl explants. TDZ at a concentration of $8-10{\mu}M$ was effective for shoot regeneration, compared with BAP. Consequently, the optimal shoot regeneration response was observed in medium supplemented with $50{\mu}M\;STS+8{\mu}M\;TDZ$. In transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, higher density of silver nanoparticles was shown to be accumulated widely inside the cell wall and plasmodesmata of regenerating leaf cultured in medium supplemented with $AgNO_3$. By contrast, in the cell cultured in medium with STS, fine-grained deposits were partly observed in the surroundings of the cell wall.

식물 호르몬의 일종인 ABA의 처리가 사과 과피의 착색에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여, 착색이 시작되는 시기의 'Hongro' 사과에 abscisic acid (ABA)와 ABA의 생합성 저해제인 fluridone (FD)을 처리한 뒤 과피의 색변화를 관찰하였다. 실험 결과, ABA와 FD 처리에 의해 'Hongro' 사과의 착색이 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. 과피의 붉은 색을 나타내는 hunter a값이 처리 7일 후까지 처리간에 차이가 없었다. 실제 과피의 안토시아닌 함량은 과피의 hunter a값의 변화와 같은 경향을 보이며 증가하였으며, ABA나 FD의 처리가 과피의 안토시아닌 축적에 영향을 주지 않았다. ABA의 처리 직후 과피의 내생 ABA함량이 급격히 증가하였고 처리 종료 시까지 높게 유지되었다. FD 처리구의 과피 내 ABA함량은 처리 6시간 후부터 대조구보다 낮아지다가, 처리 4일 후까지 지속적으로 감소하였다. ABA의 처리에 의해서 과피의 MdNCED2 (ABA 생합성 유전자)의 발현량이 증가하였고, MdACO1 (ethlyene 생합성 유전자) 및 안토시아닌 생합성 유전자 중 MdCHS와 MdDFR의 발현량이 증가하였다. 하지만 MdUFGT의 발현량은 ABA 처리에 의해서 변화가 없었다.

After $SnO_2$ fine powder by precipitation method, Ca as crystallization inhibitor and Pd as catalyst were added to $SnO_2$ raw material by various methods. Thick film device was fabricated on the alumina substrate by mixing ethylene glycol and such mixed powders. The sensing characteristics of the device for methane gas were investigated. The most excellent gas sensing property was shown by the thick film device fabricated by Method 3 in which Ca and Pd doped $SnO_2$ powder is prepared by mixing $SnO_2$ powder, 0.1 wt% Ca acetate and 1 wt% $PdCl_2$ in deionized water and by calcining the mixture, after $Sn(OH)_4$ is dried at $110^{\circ}C$ for 36h. The sensitivity of the sensor fabricated with $SnO_2$-0.1 wt%Ca acetate-1wt%$PdCl_2$ powder heat-treated at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1h was about 86% for 5,000 ppm methane in air at $350^{\circ}C$ of the operating temperature. Response time and recovery were also excellent.

In this study, a hydrate inhibition system is investigated for shallow water gas fields. Mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) injection has been used as a typical method for inhibiting hydrate formation in gas fields; therefore, most offshore platforms are equipped with MEG injection and regeneration processes. A recent application of a kinetic hydrate inhibitor (KHI) has reduced the total volume of MEG injection and hence reduce the operating cost. Experiments are designed and performed to evaluate and verify the KHI performance for inhibiting hydrate formation under shallow water conditions. However, the shut-in and restart operation may require the injection and regeneration of MEG. For this operation, the MEG concentration must be optimized while considering the cost of MEG regeneration. The obtained results suggest that decreasing MEG concentration from 80 wt% to 70 wt% can reduce the life cycle cost (LCC) of MEG regeneration process by approximately 5.98 million USD owing to reduced distillation column cost. These results suggest that the hydrate inhibition system must be evaluated through well-designed experiments and process simulations involving LCC analysis.

수삼은 생리적인 노화와 미생물군에 의한 부패에 따른 품질의 변화로 인해 상대적으로 낮은 저장력을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 에틸렌 작용 억제제인 1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP) 처리가 수삼의 저장기간 동안 품질 및 미생물군에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 수확된 수삼은 $1{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 1-MCP를 $4^{\circ}C$에서 20시간 처리 후 상온에서 18일간, 저온($4^{\circ}C$)에서 160일간 저장하였다. 상온에서 18일간 저장 시 1-MCP가 처리된 수삼의 중량감소율은 8.3%로 무처리구의 10.1%에 비해 낮게 나타났다. 수삼을 $4^{\circ}C$에서 장기저장 시, 중량감소율은 저장 120일까지는 1-MCP 처리구와 무처리구간의 차이 없이 약간 증가하였다. 반면에 $4^{\circ}C$에서 120일 이상 저장 시는 1-MCP 처리구에 비해 무처리구가 높은 중량감소율이 나타났다. 수삼의 호흡량과 에틸렌 발생량은 상온저장 시 1-MCP 처리구가 대조구에 비해 낮았다. 또한 1-MCP 처리는 상온저장 시 대조구에 비해 미생물군이 적게 나타났다. 반면에 저온에서 단기저장 시(45일간)에는 1-MCP 처리구와 무처리구간의 중량감소율과 미생물 군에서의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 1-MCP 처리에 따른 중요한 ginsenosides 함량의 변화도 없었다. 본 연구결과는 1-MCP가 상온에서 단기저장 시 및 저온에서 장기저장 시 수삼의 신선도 유지를 위해 사용될 수 있음을 제시한다. 또한 1-MCP 처리는 수삼이 저장 및 수송 중에 접할 수 있는 외부 에틸렌의 유해한 영향을 방지하기 위해 수삼에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Paraquat 독성작용에 있어서 mitochondria의 잠재적인 역할을 평가하기 위하여, 이 약물의 산소 radical 생성과 지질과산화 반응에 미치는 영향을 mouse간의 submitochondrial particle 과 microsome에서 비교하여 보았다. Submitochondrial particle 사용시 NADH를, microsome 사용시 NADPH를 전자공여체로 이용한 경우 paraquat는 두 분획에서 superoxide anion과 hydrogen peroxide의 생성을 증가시켰다. 동일한 조건하에서 paraquat는 hydroxyl radical의 생성을 시사하는 methional로 부터 ethylene의 생성을 증가시켰다. 그러나, paraquat에 의한 이들 각각의 효과는 microsome에서 보다 submitochondrial particle에서 약간 낮았다. 한편, 두 분획 모두에서 paraquat는 지질과산화 반응을 촉진시켰다. Submitochondrial particle과 microsome에서의 Paraquat에 의한 지질과산화반응은 i) 두 분회에서 지질과산화는 SOD에 의해서 부분적으로 억제됨을 보였고, DETAPAC(iron chelator)에 의해서는 완전히 억제되었고, catalase와 hydroxyl radical scavenger에 의해서는 억제되지 아니하였으며, ii) 반응내 $ADP-Fe^{3+}$ 첨가로 paraquat에 의한 지질과산화는 더욱 증가되었지만 methional로 부터 ethylene 생성은 감소하여 hydroxyl radical 생성과 지질과산화 사이에는 상관성이 없음으로 보아 같은 기전을 통해 촉진됨을 알 수 있었고 이러한 촉진작용은 perferryl ion을 통하여 일어나리라 추측되었다. Submitochondrial particle에서 paraquat에 의해 촉진된 산소라디칼 생성과 지질과산화 반응은 p-hydroxymercuribenzoate(NADH dehydrogenase 억제제)에 의하여 억제되었으나 다른 respiratory chain 차단제들에 의해서는 거의 영향을 받지 않음으로 보아 mitochondria에서의 paraquat의 redox-cycling은 CoQ 보다는 NADH dehyrogenase와 관련이 있음을 시사하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 산소 radical의 생성과 지질과산화를 유도하는 paraquat의 redox-cycling은 microsome에서와 마찬가지로 mitochondria에서도 일어나며, 이결과 생체내에서의 paraquat의 독작용에 관여함을 짐작할 수 있다.
