Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate activity difference in the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) of tomato callus transformed with Agrobacterium containing the GUS gene. Than those of other two tomato cultivars, the hypocotyl explant of JA101 was shown to have higher POD and SOD specific activity of 23 unit/mg protein and 2,156 unit/mg protein, respectively. Relatively high frequency of callus formation was obtained from the hypocotyl explant on MS medium containing 1 mg/L 2,4-D for 30 days and its POD(47 unit/mg protein) and SOD (95,786 unit/mg protein) specific activities were higher than other 2,4-D concentration. The hypocotyl explant and callus cocultivated with Agrobacterium for 72 hours were transferred to MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L 2,4-D, 30 mg/L kanamycin, 30 g/L sucrose and 4 g/L Gelrite. The hypocotyl explants transferred to the medium formed callus with 45.5% effeciency after 8 weeks. The transformation efficiency confirmed by GUS assay was 21.6%. POD specific activity of the transformed callus (54 unit/mg protein) were somewhat lower than the non-transformed callus (64 unit/mgg protein) and SOD specific activity of the transformed callus (30,300 unit/mg protein) were also lower than the non-transformed callus (37,077 unit/mg protein). However there was no significant difference in POD and SOD isozyme patterns between the transformed and the non-transformed calluses. From these results, it revealed that there was no difference of antioxidant enzyme activities between the transformed callus and the non-transformed callus in tomato.
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.
