Flowering time is determined by florigens. These genes include, Heading date 3a (Hd3a) and Rice FT 1 (RFT1) in rice, which are specifically expressed in the vascular tissues of leaves at the floral transition stage. To study the cis-regulatory elements present in the promoter region of Hd3a, we generated transgenic plants carrying the 1.75-kb promoter fragment of Hd3a that was fused to the ${\beta}$-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene. Plants expressing this construct conferred a vascular cell-specific expression pattern for the reporter gene. However, GUS was expressed in leaves at all developmental stages, including the early seedling stage when Hd3a was not detected. Furthermore, the reporter was expressed in roots at all stages. This suggests that the 1.75-kb region lackings cis-elements that regulate leaf-specific expression at the appropriate developmental stages. Deletion analyses of the promoter region indicated that regulatory elements determining vascular cell-specific expression are present in the 200-bp region between -245 bp and -45 bp from the transcription initiation site. By transforming the Hd3a-GUS construct to rice cultivar 'Taichung 65' which is defective in Ehd1, we observed that Ehd1 is the major regulatory element that controls Hd3a promoter activity.

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.

유전자 변형 작물은 생산성 측면에서 많은 장점이 있지만 이를 섭취할 경우 잠재적인 위험 요소들에 의해 많은 문제가 대두대고 있다. 본 연구는 저항성유전자를 이입한 배추에서 Profillin, Tubulin-${\alpha}$ (Tub-${\alpha}1$), Heat-shock protein (Bchsp 17.6) and Ubiquitin conjugating enzyme (UBE)의 발현과 이를 30일간 섭취한 마우스에서 ${\beta}$-actin(${\beta}$-act), ${\beta}$-2-microglobulin (B2m), Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and ${\beta}$-glucuronidase (Gus)의 발현 정도를 RT-PCR을 통해 알아보았다. 실험 결과 저항성유전자를 이입한 배추와 그렇지 않은 배추의 유전자 발현 패턴은 큰 차이를 보이지 앓았으며, 이를 섭취한 마우스 장기에서도 발현에 따른 큰 차이는 나타나지 않았다.

화이트 클로버의 배축, 잎, 미숙배 유래의 embryogenic callus에 식물 binary vector인 pBI121을 포함하는 A. tumefaciens LBA4404를 접종하여 효과적으로 화이트 클로버를 형질전환시켰다. A. tumefaciens를 이용한 화이트 클로버의 형질전환은 acetosyringone을 사용함으로써 품종간의 차이가 없이 배발생 캘러스에서 16-19%를 보였다. 재분화 식물체의 PCR 및 Northern 분서글 통하여 형질 전환된 화이트 클로버의 염색체내에 GUS 유전자가 안정되게 도입되었고 식물체내에서 mRAN로 발현됨을 확인하였다. 또한, GUS 유전자가 식물체내에서 단백질로 발현됨을 확인하기 위하여 형질 전환되어진 화이트 클로버부터 단백질을 추출하고 분광분석법에 의하여 GUS의 활성을 측정하였으며, 시료간에 약간의 차이는 있으나 유의적인 GUS 활성을 확인하였다.

본 연구실에서 개발된 particle inflow gun (PIG)은 조작이 간편하고, 사용비용도 저렴하며, 식물 세포 내의 유전자 도입효율이 높은 특징을 갖고 있다. PIG 장비를 이용하여 벼 캘러스 내로의 유전자 도입 조건을 검토하기 위해서 사용된 vector는 pIG121Hm으로서 T-DNA 내부에 intron GUS ($\beta$-glucuronidase)와 hygromycin 및 kanamycin 저항성 유전자를 포함하고 있다. 또한 벼 캘러스 내에 물리적으로 DNA를 도입할 때에 DNA 도입 효율과 관계가 높은 요인들을 GUS의 발현빈도를 통하여 조사하였다. 그 결과 gold particle에 DNA를 부착하는 과정에 사용되는 spermidine과 calcium chloride의 경우 무첨가구에 비해 16 mM의 spermidine과 1.5 M의 calcium chloride 첨가구에서 GUS 발현율이 각각 2배, 3배 증가하였다. 그리고 1회 분사되는 gold particles양이 2 mg의 경우 가장 높은 GUS 발현율을 보여주었으며, 또한 PIG장비의 분사거리와 헬륨의 압력은 벼의 배양세포의 경우 12cm의 분사거리에서 3.5 bar (50 psi)의 헬륨압력으로 분사하였을 때 GUS 발현율이 가장 높았다. 이상의 결과에서 PIG 장비를 이용한 유전자 도입은 본 연구에서 검토한 최적의 조건을 이용하였을 경우 기존에 많이 사용되고 있는 Biolistic Gun (Bio-Rad 사)과 거의 비슷한 유전자 도입효율을 보여 주었다. 특히 PIG 장비의 경우 조작이 매우 간편하고, 분사에 사용되는 일회용 부품이 필요하지 않기 때문에 대량의 반복실험을 필요로 하는 연구에서 손쉽게 사용되리라 기대된다.

To determine the patterns and the levels of expression of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV 35S) promoter and the rice actin 1 (Act1) promoter in rice, transgenic rice plants containing CaMV 35S-$\beta$-glucuronidase (GUS) and Act1-GUS constructs were generated and examined by fluorometric and histochemical analyses. The fluorometric analysis of stably transformed calluses showed that the activity of the rice Act1 promoter was stronger than that of the CaMV 35S promoter in rice cells. In a histochemcial study of the transgenic rices, it was shown that the GUS activity directed by the CaMV 35S promoter was localized mainly in parenchymal cells of vascular tissues of leaves and roots and mesophyll cells of leaves. These results are similar to those of potato, a dicot plant. In contrast, rice plant transformed with Act1-GUS fusion construct revealed strong GUS activity in parenchymal cells of vascular tissue, mesophyll cells, epidermal cells, bulliform cells, guard subsidiary cells of leaves and most cells of the root, suggesting that the rice Act1 promoter is more constitutive than the CaMV 35S promoter. It was also confirmed that in both types of transgenic rice little or no staining was localized in metaxylen tracheary elements of vascular tissue from leaves or roots. These results indicate that the rice Act1 promoter can be utilized more successfully for expression of a variety of foreign gene in rice than the CaMV 35S promoter.

Callus formation and plant regeneration from the seeds of zoysiagrass cv. Zenith was tested on MS basal medium supplemented with various concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2,4-D) and of several cytokinins. A concentration of 1mg/L 2,4-D on medium stimulated callus formation. In the presence of 5mg/L 2,4-D, addition of 1mg/L kinetin significantly enhanced callus formation and plant regeneration over 2,4-D alone. To transfer foreign DNA into turfgrass, parameters for the bombardment of embryogenic callus with the particle bombardment were partially optimized using transient expression assay of a $chimeric \beta$-glucuronidase(GUS) gene driven by the CaMV 35S promoter. GUS gene was strongly expressed at helium pressure 1,100 psi and 6~9cm target distance.

We have successfully used the low-pressure BioWare gene gun, developed for gene transfer in animal cells, for plant tissues. The BioWare device is easy to manipulate. Just 50 psi helium pressure was sufficient to transfer foreign genes into the aleurone layer and embryo of maize without causing tissue damage in the impact area. As shown by expression signals from invasive histochemical ${\beta}-glucuronidase$ (GUS) activity, the foreign reporter gene expressed well in bombarded tissues. This successful GUS-transient expression extends the application of this low-pressure gene gun from animal cells to plant tissues.

자란(B. striata)의 미성숙종자로 부터 유도한 embryogenic callus를 현탁배양하고 이와같은 embryogenic cell suspensions로부터 분리한 원형질체에 electroporation 방법을 사용하여 reporter genes이 들어있는 pBI121 plasmid DNA 를 도입하고 그 발현을 확인하였다. 배양된 세포에 있어서 GUS의 활성은 plasmid DNA양의 증가와 함께 높게 나타났으며, 200-300 voltage/1180 uF에서 GUS의 활성 및 원형질체의 생존율(viability)이 가장 좋았다.
