Abstract

Fructan has been found to accumulate in various tissues during periods when light levels increased carbon fixation where low temperatures reduced growth rates while photosynthesis continued. In this study, we have cloned 1-sucrose:sucrose fructosyl transferase(1-sst) and 1-fructan: fructan fructosyl transferase (1-fft, a key enzyme for the synthesis of fuctan) from Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.). The recombinant vector with 1-sst and 1-fft has been constructed under the control of 35S promoter of KJGV-B2 vector and transgenic plants obtained by Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404. PCR analysis carried out on the putative transgenic plants for amplification of the coding region of specific gene (1-sst, 1-fft), and HPT genes. Transgenic lines carrying of 1-sst and 1-fft were confirmed for integration into the rice genome using Southern blot hybridization and RT-PCR. The transgenic plants in $T_2$ generation were selected and expression pattern analysis revealed that 1-sst and 1-fft were stable. This analysis confirmed the presence of low-molecular-weight fructan in the seedling of the transgenic rices. Therefore, cold tolerance and carbohydrate metabolism will be possible to develop resistant plants using the transgenic rice.

Fructan은 식물이 저온에 노출 되었을 때 다양한 조직에 축적됨으로써 여러 스트레스에 저항을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 fructan 생합성 경로에 관여하는 효소인 1-sst와 1-fft 유전자를 돼지감자 구근으로 부터 분리하였다. 분리한 1-sst와 1-fft 유전자는 Ti-plasmid vector인 KJG V-B2 vector에 35S promoter에 의해 발현할 수 있도록 형질전환용 벡터를 구축하였다. Agrobacterium tumefaciens법에 의해 1-sst와 1-fft 유전자의 형질전환 벼를 육성하였고, 1-sst, 1-fft 및 HPT 유전자 특이적인 primer를 사용하여 PCR 분석한 결과 유전자가 벼의 callus 게놈내에 안정적으로 삽입되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 Southern 및 RT-PCR 분석에서도 같은 결과를 얻었다. 형질전환 벼의 후대에서도 안정적으로 유전자가 발현되는 homo 계통을 선발하였고 이를 이용해 1-sst와 1-fft 유전자의 삽입이 확인된 형질전환 벼에서 유전자의 발현양상을 알아보기 위해 RT-PCR 및 Real-Time PCR를 수행한 결과 형질전환 벼에서 1-sst와 1-fft 유전자 모두 안정적으로 발현되고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 1-sst와 1-fft 유전자가 삽입된 형질전환 벼를 이용한 기능 분석 연구를 통해 식물체가 저온에 노출되었을 때 1-sst와 1-fft의 작용에 의해 fructan 생합성량이 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 fructan 생합성 관련 유전자가 삽입된 형질전환 벼는 탄수화물대사 및 저온, 건조 등의 환경 stress에 대한 내성에 대해 좋은 육종 소재로 이용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
