Abstract

Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris ssp. napus var. pekinensis Makino) seeds/seedlings were transformed via vacuum-infiltration with recombinant Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 cells. The agroinfiltration method was determined to be unsuccessful for Chinese cabbage transformation during the analysis of hepatitis B surface antigen expression by ELISA. However, treatment of sodium hypochlorite solution, prior to agroinfiltration, to pregerminated or germinating 1 day- or 2 days-old seeds was proven effectively to enhance transformation efficiency, suggesting that chemical wounding caused by sodium hypochlorite reaction might facilitate Agrobacterium infection and, therefore, transient gene expression in Chinese cabbage sprouts.

배추 종자 및 유묘에 대하여 GUS발현 또는 hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)발현 벡터를 지니는 Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 세포를 이용하여 진공침윤(agroinfiltration)에 의한 형질전환을 시도하였다. 특히 ELISA를 이용한 HBsAg발현의 정량적 분석에서 agroinfiltration방법은 형질전환효율이 매우 저조하게 나타났다. 그러나 차아염소산나트륨 용액을 발아 전 또는 발아 중인 배추종자에 처리한 후 agroinfiltration을 실시한 경우 형질전환 효율이 $2\~5$배 증가하였다. 따라서 차아염소산나트륨 등의 화학연마제에 의한 종자의 상처발생이 Agrobacterium의 감염을 용이하게 함으로써 배추유묘에서의 일시유전자발현을 증대시키는 것으로 제안되고있다.
