우리는 시설토마토에서 4가지 침투이행성약제가 사용된 가지를 트랩식물로 활용하여 담배가루이 성충의 방제효과를 조사하였다. 침투이행성약제가 추천된 농도로 사용되었을 때, 담배가루이 성충에 대한 dinotefuran SG 50% 방제효과는 80%로 방제효과가 각각 51.0%, 12.4%, 11.0%인 cyantraniliprole, pyridaben, clothianidin 보다 높았다. 살충효과가 뛰어난 dinotefuran을 농도별로 처리하였을 때, 200 ppm에서 살충률이 88.4%로 가장 효과적이었다. Dinotefuran의 방제효과는 가지에 적용된 약 9일까지 지속되었고 그 이후 담배가루이 밀도는 증가하였다. 포장실험에서 가지 트랩식물로부터 0, 15, 20 m 떨어진 토마토 신초에서의 담배가루이 밀도가 가장 높았고 5 m와 10 m에서 가장 낮았다. 담배가루이의 밀도가 낮고 dinotefuran SG 50%가 처리된 가지를 10 m 간격으로 투입했을 때, 담배가루이 성충의 밀도가 전체적으로 낮았으며, 또한 담배가루이의 밀도는 하우스 내부보다는 측면에서 밀도가 더 높았고 가지로부터 멀리 떨어진 곳에서 밀도가 높았다. 담배가루이 밀도가 높고 dinotefuran SG 50%가 처리된 가지를 5 m간격으로 투입했을 때, 담배가루이 밀도가 낮아졌다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 가지는 시설토마토 재배시 담배가루이 성충을 유인하는데 효과적인 트랩식물이며 dinotefuran SG 50% 과 함께 사용한다면 담배가루이 밀도를 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있을 것이다.

Background: Protopanaxatriol (PPT) is an aglycone of ginsenosides, which has high medicinal values. Production of PPT from natural ginseng plants requires artificial deglycosylation procedures of ginsenosides via enzymatic or physicochemical treatments. Metabolic engineering could be an efficient technology for production of ginsenoside sapogenin. For PPT biosynthesis in Panax ginseng, damarenediol-II synthase (PgDDS) and two cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP716A47 and CYP716A53v2) are essentially required. Methods: Transgenic tobacco co-overexpressing P. ginseng PgDDS, CYP716A47, and CYP716A53v2 was constructed via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Results: Expression of the three introduced genes in transgenic tobacco lines was confirmed by Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Analysis of liquid chromatography showed three new peaks, dammarenediol-II (DD), protopanaxadiol (PPD), and PPT, in leaves of transgenic tobacco. Transgenic tobacco (line 6) contained $2.8{\mu}g/g$ dry weight (DW), $7.3{\mu}g/g$ DW, and $11.6{\mu}g/g$ DW of PPT, PPD, and DD in leaves, respectively. Production of PPT was achieved via cell suspension culture and was highly affected by auxin treatment. The content of PPT in cell suspension was increased 37.25-fold compared with that of leaves of the transgenic tobacco. Transgenic tobacco was not able to set seeds because of microspore degeneration in anthers. Transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that cells of phloem tissue situated in the center of the anther showed an abnormally condensed nuclei and degenerated mitochondria. Conclusion: We successfully achieved the production of PPT in transgenic tobacco. The possible factors deriving male sterility in transgenic tobacco are discussed.

A duplex PCR method was developed for simultaneous detection and identification of tobacco root rot pathogens Phytophthora nicotianae and Thielaviopsis basicola. The specific primers for P. nicotianae were developed based on its internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of ribosomal gene, ras gene and hgd gene, while the specific primers for T. basicola were designed based on its ITS regions and ${\beta}$-tubulin gene. The specificity of the primers was determined using isolates of P. nicotianae, T. basicola and control samples. The results showed that the target pathogens could be detected from diseased tobacco plants by a combination of the specific primers. The sensitivity limitation was $100fg/{\mu}l$ of pure genomic DNA of the pathogens. This new assay can be applied to screen out target pathogens rapidly and reliably in one PCR and will be an important tool for the identification and precise early prediction of these two destructive diseases of tobacco.

The human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) gene was introduced into tobacco plants. The cell suspension culture was established from leaf-derived calli of the transgenic tobacco plants in order to express and secrete a biologically active hGM -CSF. The recombinant hGM-CSF from the transgenic plant cell culture (prhGM-CSF) was identified as a yield of about 180 ${\mu}$g/L in the culture filtrate, as determined by ELISA. The addition of 0.5 g/L polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to the plant cell culture medium both stabilized the secreted prhGM-CSF and increased the level of production approximately 1.5-fold to 270 ${\mu}$g/L. The biological activity of the prhGM-CSF was confirmed by measuring the proliferation of the hGM-CSF-dependent cell line, TF-1. Interestingly, the specific activity of the prhGM-CSF was estimated to be approximately 2.7 times higher than that of a commercially available preparation from E. coli.

Laccase (EC 1.10.3.2) is a small group of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of a broad range of phenolic compounds including hazardous and recalcitrant pollutants in the environment. This study attempted to develop an efficient system for production of a recombinant laccase by chloroplast genetic transformation of tobacco. Chloroplast transformation vector was constructed and introduced into the tobacco chloroplast genome using particle bombardment. Chloroplast-transformed plants were subsequently regenerated. PCR and southern blot analyses confirmed stable integration of the laccase gene into the chloroplast genome. Northern blot analysis revealed that mRNA of the laccase gene was highly expressed in chloroplast-transformed plants.

Introduction of vegetatively propagated Petunia hybrids since 1992 led to increasing virus infections of propagation material. Petunia hybrid 'Surfinia' cultivated for pot-plant showed yellowing symptom along with stunt. Flowers were smaller in size and showed color-break symptom. Tobacco mosaic virus(TMV-pet) was isolated from the diseased petunia. Healthy petunia plants inoculated with TMV-pet induced mottle on leaves and color-break on flowers, and plants were stunted. Nucleotide sequences of coat protein gene amplified from RNA prepared from Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsun infected with TMV-pet were determined(GenBank accession no. DQ981481). It showed 99.0% nucleotide sequence homology with TMV-potato3-2(GenBank accession no. AF318215) isolated from potato showing yellow mosaic and stunt symptom, and with a TMV Korean strain(GenBank accession no. X68110). This is the first reported observation of TMV from vegetatively propagated petunia in Korea.

This study was carried out to investigate the correlation of agronomic characters, their path coefficients in 2, 3 and 4-year old ginseng plants, and to provide a useful information for ginseng breeding. Correlation coefficients between stem fen변h, number of leaves and number of Iraflets in 2-year age, and stem diameter and leaf length in 3-year age showed highly significant correlation with number of fruits and root weight in 4-year age. The path coefficient analysis indicated that stem length and number of leaflets might give indirect effects on root weight regardless of plant age. On the other hand, stem length and number of leaflets in 2-year age and, stem diameter and leaf length in 3-year age showed direct effects on root weight in 4-year old ginseng. These results may be used for selection of high-yielding ginseng plants. Key words Selection information, correlation and path coefficient analysis.

The mutagenic activities of the pyrolyzates (300, 600, 750 and 85$0^{\circ}C$ ) of extracts from three saponeous expectorants (Platicodi Radix, Polygalae Radix and Asiasari Radix) and two nonalkaloidal antitussives (Lirionis Tuber and Codonopsis lanceolata Radix), medicinal plants, were studied in the Ames Salmonella/microsomes test system. The pyrolysates of Codonopsis lanceolata Radix and Asiasari Radix extracts at 85$0^{\circ}C$ were slightly mutagenic to tester strain TA98( frame shift ) and TA100(base-pair substitution) of Salmonella typhimurium, and the mutagens in these pyrolyzates required the metabolic activation by a liver microsomal fraction However, the extracts and pyrolyzates of all medicinal plants tasted except the above two results dud not show the significant increase in revertant colonies.

The mutagenic activities of the pyrolysates(300, 600, 750 and 85$0^{\circ}C$) of extracts from four antitussive or expectorant medicinal plants(Daturae Folios, Scopoliae Rhizoma, Acori Rhisoma, and Schigandrae Fructus) were studied in the Ames Salmonella/microsomes test system. The pyrolyzate of Schizandrae Fructus did not show the mutagenicity to tester strain TA98 of Salmonella typhinurium. However, those of other medicinal Plants, Daturae Folium, Scopoliae Rhigoma and Acori Rhizoma, exhibited the mutagenic activity to this strain and the mutagenicity of them were decreased gradually to 70% of the initial activity according to time course after the preparation of the samples with DMSO.
