This study was conducted to obtain basic information about the transformation of ginseng tissue, identification of opine compound and protein, and saponin production from ginseng callus transformed with Ti-plasmic of AW$.$obacterium tumefaiens C58. Ginseng crown gall callus induced by pTiC58 could be continuously cultured on the Phytohormone-free medium. The transformation was reconfirmed by the detection and identification of opine compound, from the gall callus. The transformed ginseng callus contained higher amounts of protein than normal callus and the protein pattern of transformed callus was quite different from that of normal callus. The xylose which is not detected in the normal callus and ginseng root was identified in gall callus. The saponin contents of gall callus of ginseng were three times higher than that of normal callus, and ginsenoside composition of the transformed callus was similar to that of the cultivated ginseng root, but quite different from that of normal callus.

토마토에서 GUS 유전자를 가진 Agrobacterium을 이용하여 형질전환된 캘러스와 형질전환 되지 않은 캘러스의 peroxidase(POD)와 superoxide dismutase(SOD) 활성 차이를 조사하여 형질전환된 세포의 안전성평가의 기초자료로 삼고자 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. JA101 종자로부터 형성된 hypocotyl의 POD, SOD 비활성은 각각 23 unit/mg protein와 2,156 unit/mg protein로 공시품종 중 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. Hypocotyl 절편체로부터 유도한 캘러스 생장은 1mg/L 2,4-D의 농도에서 가장 좋았으며, 1 mg/L 2,4-D가 함유된 배지에서 유도된 캘러스에서 POD 와 SOD 비활성은 각각 47 unit/mg protein 와 95,786 unit/mg protein로 높게 나타났다. Agrobacterium과 hypocotyl 절편체와의 공동배양으로부터 형성된 캘러스중 21.6%의 형질전환된 캘러스를 얻을수 있었으며, 형질전환된 캘러스의 POD 비활성은 54 unit/mg protein로 형질전환 되지 않은 캘러스의 64 unit/mg protein보다 낮게 나타났고, SOD 비활성은 형질전환된 캘러스가 30,300 unit/mg protein로 형질전환되지 않은 캘런스의 37,077 unit/mg protein 보다 낮게 나타났다. 형질전환된 캘러스와 형질전환되지 않은 캘러스간의 isozyme pattern 차이는 인정할 수 없었다.

This study was conducted to obtain the transformed birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) plants with BcHSP17.6 gene using Agrobacterium turnefaciens LBA4404 and we confirmed transformed gene from the regenerated birdsfoot trefoil plants. The expression vector, pBKH4 vector, harboring BcHSP17.6 gene was used for production of transgenic birdsfoot trefoil plants. The callus of birdsfoot trefoil was cocultivated with Agrobacteriurn turnefaciens and transformed calli were selected on kanamycin-containing SH-kc medium to regenerate into plants. The transformed birdsfoot trefoil plants were produced 4 momths after cultivation on BOi2Y medium. The transgenic birdsfoot trefoil plants were analyzed by isolation of genomic DNA and genomic Southern hybridization using a -32P labelled BcHSPl7.6 fragments. (Key words : Birdsfoot trefoil, Transgenic plant. BcHSP17.6 gene, Callus induction, Plant regeneration)

Plant secondary metabolites have always been a focus of study due to their important roles in human medicine and nutrition. We transferred the isoflavone synthase (IFS) gene into soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] using the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method in an attempt to produce transformed soybean plants which produced increased levels of the secondary metabolite, isoflavone. Although the trial to produce transgenic plant failed due to unestablished hygromycin selection, transformed callus cell lines were obtained. The induction rate and degree of callus were similar among the three cultivars tested, but light illumination positively influenced the frequency of callus formation, resulting in a callus induction rate of 74% for Kwangan, 67% for Sojin, and 73% for Duyou. Following seven to eight subcultures on selection media, the isoflavone content of the transformed callus lines were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. The total amount of isoflavone in the transformed callus cell lines was three- to sixfold higher than that in control callus or seeds. Given the many positive effects of isoflavone on human health, it may be possible to adapt our transformed callus lines for industrialization through an alternative cell culture system to produce high concentrations of isoflavones.

To explore the possibility of introducing Zea mays transposable element Ac(activator) which can be used as a mutagen and gene tag in tobacco plants other than maitre, we tried to introduce a cloned Ac element into tobacco cells by an Agrobacterium tumefaciens binary vector system. Transformation of N. babacum cv. Burley 21 tissues and regeneration to whole plant were carried out. The frequency of the transformed callus induced in shoot induction media was higher than that of transformed callus induced in callus induction media. However, the calli were not grown in the second selection media, and became yellow senescent calli. Regenerated tobacco plantlets with foreign gene were also obtained in shoot induction media containing 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml kanamycin and 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml carbenicillin. The leaf tissues of transformant was also resistant to 1000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml kanamycin. The chromosomal DNAs of transformant and normal plant of N. tabacum were digested by EcoR I and Hind III but not by Pst I.

Brachypodium distachyon is rapidly emerged in biological study and has been currently used as a model system for genetics and functional studies for crop improvement and biofuel production. Phosphinothricin (PPT) has been widely used as a selectable agent, which raises ammonium content and induces toxicity in non-transformed plant cells. However PPT selection is not much effective on Brachypodium callus consequently reducing transformation efficiency. In order to identify the efficient conditions of PPT selection, calli obtained from mature seeds of Brachypodium (PI 254867) were cultured on the callus inducing medium (CIM) or regeneration medium (ReM) containing serial dilutions of the PPT (0, 2, 5, 10, and 15 mg/l) in dark or light condition. Callus growth and ammonium content of each treatment were measured 2 weeks after the treatment. Although callus growth and ammonium content did not show much difference in CIM, slow callus growth and increased ammonium accumulation were found in ReM. No significant difference of ammonium accumulation in response to PPT was found between dark and light conditions. In order to identify major factors affecting increased ammonium accumulation, callus was cultured on the media in combined with phytohormones (2,4-D or kinetin) and carbon sources (sucrose or maltose) containing with PPT (5 mg/l). The highest ammonium content in callus was found in the kinetin and maltose media.

In order to survey possibility to produce saikosaponin from in vitro hairy root culture, culture of callus, adventitous root, and hairy root of Bupleurum falcatum L. were estabilished, and quantitative and qualitative aspects in saikosaponin extracted from these were compared with those of cultivated root. Callus grew well in MS medium containing 0.9 $\mu$M 2, 4-D. In contrast, both of adventitous root and hairy root grew well in hormone-free MS medium. However, hairy root showed more rapid growth with extensive lateral root branches, characteristics of lower content of water and softer than in adventitous root. Among the selected lines of adventitous root and hairy root were observed difference in the growth rate. Mannopine, one of opine synthesized in the transformed tissue with Agrobacterium rhizogenes. A4 were detected in the extract of hairy root lines. Pattern and content of crude saponin from adventitous and hairy root showed no difference, but somewhat difference from those of cultivated root. However, in callus, distinct production-aspect of saponin was not observed.

The activity of promoter sequences was evaluated in garlic cells using the $\beta$-glucuronidase (GUS) gene as a reporter. Histochemical GUS assay indicated transient GUS activity in leaf, callus and root cells 48 hours after particle bombardment transformation. Quantitative fluorometric assays in extracts of transformed leaves demonstrated that the CsVMV promoter induced the highest level of gene expression, which was, on average, ten fold the level induced by CaMV35S and by the Arabidopsis Act2 promoters and two fold the level expression observed with a construct containing a double CaMV35S plus the untranslated leader sequence from AMV. No activity or very low levels were observed when cells were transformed with plasmids rontaining the typical monocot promoters, Actl, from rice or the Ubi-1, from maize. The green fluorescent protein (GFP) was also tested as a marker gene for garlic transformation. Intense fluorescence was observed in leaf, callus and root cells transformed with a construct containing the gfp gene under control of the CaMV35 Promoter. No fluorescence was detected when the gfp was under control of the Ubi-1 promoter.

In order to enhance the system of potato transformation and further regeneration, potato was transformed using the Agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring $\beta$-glucuronidase (GUS) gene. We found that a series fo modified medium ttained 100% shoot regeneration within 5 weeks after the preincubated explants on stage I medium were infected with Agrobacterium. Callus appeared at the cut edges of stem segments on stage II medium, mainly at the basal parts. Some explants started to form shoots after two to three weeks on stage III medium containing kanamycin (50 mg/L). When transferred to MS medium containing 200 mg/L kanamycin, 81% of the transformed shoots formed roots at the cut edge of the plantlets. In contrast, untrasformed shoots never rooted and became yellowish after few weeks under the same conditions. Southern and northern analysis indicated in vitro shoot regeneration on the callus derived from the potato explants, which were incubated with Agrobacteria. The regeneration cycle was shortened after the transformatin and finally the transformation efficiency was highly enhanced.
