Ginseng(Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) is important medicinal plant but requires 4-year cultivation for root harvest because of slow growth. In contrast, ginseng hairy roots induced by introducing Ri-plasmid of Agrobacterium rhizogenes into genomic DNA of plant cells show vigorous growth, and the hairy roots produce the same or more saponins than natural ginseng roots. Therefore, hairy roots can be used for commercial purposes. The present study was carried out to induce hairy roots with both active growth and high saponin contents. Numerous hairy roots of Panax ginseng were obtained after root disks of three-year old roots were infected with Agrobacterium rhizogenes R1000 A4T in dark condition after one month of culture. About 3 hundred lines of hairy roots were selected according as morphological characters on medium with carbenicillin. After pre-selection of fifteen lines of hairy roots with active growth, KGHR-l and KGHR-8 lines were finally selected which had characters of high content of ginsenoside-Rd and ginsenoside-Re, respectively. The optimum growth of hairy roots was achieved in the culture of 1/2 MS liquid medium in dark (22 $^{\circ}C$) under 60 rpm gyratory shaking. Hairy roots grew well in 5L Erlenmeyer flasks, lL roller drums, 10L jar-fermenters, and especially in 20L air-lift culture vessels.

The molecular features of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae strains isolated in Korea were compared with strains isolated in Japan and Italy. Sequencing of eight P. syringae pv. actinidiae and three P. syringae pv. theae strains revealed a total of 44 single nucleotide polymorphisms across 4,818 bp of the concatenated alignment of nine genes. A multiplex PCR assay was developed for the detection of P. syringae pv. actinidiae and for the specific detection of recent haplotype strains other than strains isolated since the 1980s in Korea. The primer pair, designated as TacF and TacR, specifically amplified a 545-bp fragment with the genomic DNA of new haplotype of P. syringae pv. actinidiae strains. A multiplex PCR conducted with the TacF/TacR primer pair and the universal primer pair for all P. syringae pv. actinidiae strains can be simultaneously applied for the detection of P. syringae pv. actinidiae and for the differentiation of new haplotype strains.

Leaf samples of Solanum lycopersicum, Capsicum annuum, Cucurbita moschata, Cucurbita pepo, Sechium edule and Erythrina spp. were collected. All samples were positive for begomoviruses using polymerase chain reaction and degenerate primers. A sequence of ~1,100 bp was obtained from the genomic component DNA-A of 14 samples. In addition, one sequence of ~580 bp corresponding to the coat protein (AV1) was obtained from a chayote (S. edule) leaf sample. The presence of Squash yellow mild mottle virus (SYMMoV) and Pepper golden mosaic virus (PepGMV) were confirmed. The host range reported for SYMMoV includes species of the Cucurbitaceae, Caricaceae and Fabaceae families. This report extends the host range of SYMMoV to include the Solanaceae family, and extends the host range of PepGMV to include C. moschata, C. pepo and the Fabaceae Erythrina spp. This is the first report of a begomovirus (PepGMV) infecting chayote in the Western Hemisphere.

Two Korean isolates of Alfalfa mosaic virus (AHV-AZ, AMV-KR) were isolated from azuki bean and potato plants, respectively, and their pathologies were confirmed on some susceptible host plants including pepper, tobacco and red bean plants. Full length cDNAs to RNA1, RNA2 and RNA3 of the two Korean strains were amplified using the long-template reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. RT-PCR products covering entire regions for the three AMV genome RNAs were cloned. RNA transcripts were synthesized in vitro from each clones using T7 RNA polymerase and infectivity test was peformed in 9 reassortment sets of transcripts. All the combinations of reassorted transcripts were found to be infectious when inoculated onto Nicotiana benthamiana plants, and were not distinguishable to those of wild types. The full-length cDNA clones that were confirmed infectious were sequenced their nucleotide sequences. We will discuss sequence analysis of the two Korean isolates of AMV genomic RNA3 and compare reported foreign isolates of AMV.

Leaves are an important organism for photosynthesis and transpiration. The shape of leaf is crucial factor affecting plant architecture. V-shape leaf rolling is enhancing canopy photosynthesis by increasing the CO₂ penetration and the light capture by reducing the shadow between the leaves. Therefore, moderate leaf rolling is thought to more high grain yield per area than flat leaf. We investigated 278 KRICE_CORE accession's Adaxial Leaf Rolling Index (LRI) in first heading using the following equation. For each accession, genomic DNA was used for sequencing. We sequenced the genomics with ~8 X coverage to detect SNPS. Raw reads were aligned against the rice reference (IRGSP 1.0) for SNP identification and genotype calling. To generate genotype data for GWAS, SNPs were filtered with minor allele frequency 0.05. Finally, 841,134 high-quality SNPs were used for our GWAS. The significant threshold was -log10(P)>7.23. From the results, 2 significance SNP were detected. Considering the LD block of 250kbp, 60 candidate gene were selected including Hypothetical gene and Conserved gene. In this poster, we analyzed candidate gene affecting adaxial Leaf Rolling through single-trait GWAS.

콩 불마름병을 일으키는 Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines를 종자에서 DNA 추출없이 바로 검출하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 콩 종자에서 X. axonopodis pv. glycines를 특이적으로 검출하기 위해 특이적인 유전자로 알려져 있는 glycinecin A로부터 증폭 size가 401 bp인 primer Xag F1 & Xag R1을 고안하였다. Xag Fl과 Xag R1 primer는 콩 종자와 잎에서 분리한 균주와 KACC에서 분양받은 X. axonopoids pv. glycines 균주를 증폭시켰으나 근연종인 X. axonopodis pv. citri, X. axonopodis pv. vesicatoria 등은 증폭되지 않았다. 콩 종자에 존재하는 것으로 알려진 다른 세균들 역시 증폭되지 않았다. 고안된 Xag F1 & Xag R1 primer를 이용한 X. axonopodis pv. glycines의 검출 한계 농도 측정은 genomic DNA와 세포 현탁액을 이용하였다. X. axonopodis pv. glycines의 genomic DNA는 200 fg까지 증폭이 되었으며, 세포현탁액은 $OD_{600nm}$ 0.1로 농도를 조정한 뒤, $10^{-8}$까지 희석하여 측정한 결과 $10^{-6}$인 $1.8{\times}10^3$ cfu/ml까지 증폭이 확인되었다. 자연 감염된 종자에서 병원균을 검출하기 위해 종자를 육안상 건전종자와 불건전한 종자(변색립, 피해립)로 구분하여 direct PCR 방법으로 실험 한 결과 육안상 건전종자에서는 병원균이 검출되지 않았으나 불건전한 종자에서는 병원균의 검출이 확인되었다. 또한 진탕 배양 시간에 따른 병원균의 검출여부를 조사한 결과 진탕 배양 2시간부터 병원균의 검출이 확인되었으며 시간이 지날수록 증폭 밴드가 더욱 선명해 지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러므로 고안된 Xag Fl & Xag R1 primer를 이용한 direct PCR 방법은 다른 많은 미생물들로 오염되어진 콩종자에 있는 X. axonopodis pv. glycines를 신속하고 민감하게 검정할 수 있는 효과적인 방법으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

붓꽃속(Genus Iris)의 금붓꽃계열(Series Chinensis)은 극동아시아에 국한되어 분포하고 있으며 한국에는 총 6분류군이 자생하고 있다. 이는 크게 두 개의 주요 그룹 (각시붓꽃 complex와 금붓꽃 complex)으로 나뉜다. 본 연구에서는 팔공산에서 발견된 잡종추정개체들의 실체와 붓꽃속 금붓꽃계열 분류군간의 계통학적 유연관계를 규명하기 위해 핵 rDNA ITS와 엽록체 matK 유전자의 염기서열을 확보하여 분석하였다. 총 55개체로부터 얻은 106 개 ITS amplicon의 염기서열 및 군외군의 염기서열을 분석한 결과, 금붓꽃계열의 노랑무늬붓꽃, 노랑붓꽃, 금붓꽃 및 잡종추정군은 군외군과 구분되어 유집되었으나, 군내군 사이에서는 높은 다형성 염기서열이 관측되었다. ITS 계통수에서 잡종추정군의 일부는 노랑무늬붓꽃과 하나의 분계조를 나타내었고, 나머지 잡종추정군의 경우는 금붓꽃+노랑붓꽃과 분계조를 형성하였다. 한편 cpDNA의 경우 matK를 제외한 나머지 마커는 금붓꽃과 노랑붓꽃의 차이를 보여주지 못하였다. matK의 NJ 계통수에서 잡종추정군이 금붓꽃과 높은 Bootstrap 값으로 하나의 분계조를 형성하였으며, 염기서열이 일치하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 팔공산에서 발견된 잡종추정군의 모계는 금붓꽃이고 부계는 노랑무늬붓꽃이라는 가능성을 제시하였다.

Plant genomes include heterochromatic loci that consist of repetitive sequences and transposable elements. LTR retrotransposon is the major class of transposons in advanced plants in terms of proportion in plant genome. The elements contribute not only to genome size but also to genome stability and gene expression. A number of cases have been reported transposon insertions near genic regions affect crop traits such as fruit pigments, stress tolerance, and yields. Functional LTR retrotransposons produce extrachromosomal DNA from genomic RNA by reverse transcription that takes place within virus-like-particles (VLPs). DECREASED DNA METHYLATION 1 (DDM1) plays important roles in maintaining DNA methylation of heterochromatin affecting all sequence contexts, CG, CHG, and CHH. Previous studies showed that ddm1 mutant exhibits massive transcription of retrotransposons in Arabidopsis, but only few of them were able to create new insertions into the genome. RNA-dependent RNA POLYMERASE 6 (RDR6) is known to function in restricting accumulation of transposon RNA by processing the transcripts into 21-22 nt epigenetically activated small interfering RNA (easiRNA). We purified VLPs and sequence cDNA to identify functional LTR retrotransposons in Arabidopsis ddm1 and ddm1rdr6 plants. Over 20 LTR copia and gypsy families were detected in ddm1 and ddm1rdr6 sequencing libraries and most of them were not reported for mobility. In ddm1rdr6, short fragments of ATHILA gypsy elements were detected. It suggests easiRNAs might regulate reverse transcription steps. The highest enriched element among transposon loci was previously characterized EVADE element. It has been reported that active EVADE element is more efficiently silenced through female germline than male germline. By genetic analyses, we found ddm1 and rdr6 mutation affect maternal silencing of active EVADE elements. DDM1-GFP protein accumulated in megaspore mother cell but was not found in mature egg cell. The fusion protein was also found in early embryo and maternal DDM1-GFP allele was more dominantly expressed in the embryo. We observed localization of DDM1-GFP in Arabidopsis and DDM1-YFP in maize and found the proteins accumulated in dividing zone of root tips. Currently we are looking at cell cycle dependency of DDM1 expression using maize system. Among 10 AGO proteins in Arabidopsis, AGO9 is specifically expressed in egg cell and shoot meristematic cells. In addition, mutation of AGO9 and RDR6 caused failure in maternal silencing, implying 21-22 nt easiRNA pathway is important for retrotransposon silencing in female gametophyte or/and early embryo. On the other hand, canonical 24 nt sRNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathways did not contribute to maternal silencing as confirmed by this study. Heat-activated LTR retrotransposon, ONSEN, was not silenced by DDM1 but the silencing mechanisms require RdDM pathways in somatic cells. We will propose distinct mechanisms of LTR retrotransposons in germline and somatic stages.
