Mitotic analyses of the coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kitsuch) revealed a mode of 2n=60 whit 46 meta or submetacentric and 14 acrocentric chromosomes (NF=106). Individuals with 2n=61 were also found in both sexes in the same population; the karyotype is composed of 45 meta or submetacentric and 16 acrocentric chromosomes (NF=106). This result may indicate that Robertsonian chromosomal polymorphism occurred in the population of the coho salmon.

In this study, yeast artificial chromosome Insert (YAC) harboring genes which related xylan metabolism was constructed by using chromosome manipulation technique. For efficient chromosome manipulation, each splitting fragment (DNA module) required for splitting process was prepared and these DNA modules were transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain YKY164. By two-rounds chromosome splitting, yeast chromosome VII (1,124 kb) was split 887 kb-YAC, 45 kb-mini YAC and 198 kb-YAC and YKY183 strain containing 18 chromosomes was constructed. Splitting efficiency for chromosome manipulation was 50- 78% and expression level of foreign genes on 45 kb-mini YAC and enzyme activity were indistinguishable from that of the YKY164 strain. Furthermore, xylan-degraded products by recombinant enzymes were confirmed and mini-yeast artificial chromosome maintained stable mitotic stability without chromosome loss during 160 generations.

For the purpose to improve the glucoamylase productivity of Saccharomyces diastaticus, we integrated STA 1 gene into chromosomal DNA of S. diastaticus using YIp vector. After construction of Ylp-STA by the subcloning of STAI (5.3 kb) into YIp5 vector, S. diastaticus GMT-II(a. ura3. STAJ) was transformed by Ylp-STA through homologous recombination at the chromosomal STAJ gene. So we obtained the tram formants that glucoamylase productivity was increased maximum six fold. These strains transformed by the multi-copy integration of Ylp-STA in chromosomal DNA were confirmed by Southern hybridization. And the integrated Ylp-STA was maintained stably during 30 mitotic divisions.

This study was carried out to obtain the basic information on morphological and chromosomal charateristics in the three species of Chinese carps (grass carp; Ctenopharyngodon idellua, bighead carp; Aristichthys nobilis, and silver carp; Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) introduced to Korea from China. C. idellua was differ from A. nobilis and H. molitrix by the number of gill rakers, scales, fin rays, body proportion. A. nobilis and H. molitrix were similar in having ventral keel and many scale number, but H. molitrix was differ from A. nobilis by the connected gill rakers and body color pattern. Diploid chromosome and arm number (fundamental number, NF) of the three species were all the same to 2n=48 and NF=84. Diploid chromosome numbers in the three species are consisted of 10 pairs of metacentric chromosome, 8 pairs of submetacentric chromosome and 6 pairs of acro and/ or telocentric chromosome. Morphological and karyological relationship of the three Chinese carps are discussed.

A defective lambda transducing phase carrying acetyl CoA carboxylase gene (fabE) from Escherichia coli chromosome (72 min on the current linkage map) has been isolated. A restriction map of the chromosomal region from defective transducing phage was established by digestion with combination of the restriction enzymes. No cleavage site for the enzyme EcoRI was found in this region. Restriction fragments were cloned from defective transducing phage into high copy number plasmid vector pACYC184 to generate hybrid plasmids which were capable of complementation of fabE temperature sensitive mutation. We show here that the fabE gene is located on a 3.4 megadalton Bam HI-SalI fragment with a HindIII site, which lies within the 7.4 megadalton BglIIfragment, by complementation analysis.

Four transgenic rice lines harboring insect-resistant gene cry3A showed ideal field performances characterized by high considerable resistance to rice water weevil (Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus Kuschel). In this study, we estimated the insertion number of foreign genes, and analyzed the flanking sequences of T-DNAs in rice genome. As a result, T-DNA of BT12R1 line was inserted in exon region of rice chromosome 10. Two copies of T-DNAs were inserted in line BT12R2. BT12R3 line was analyzed at only left border flanking sequence. BT12R4 line was confirmed one copy of foreign gene insertion at the position 24,516,607 ~ 24,516,636 of rice chromosome 5, accompanied by a deletion of 30 bp known genomic sequences. This intergenic position was confirmed none of expressed gene and any deletion/addition of T-DNA sequence. In conclusion, these molecular data of rice water weevil resistant Bt rice would be used to conduct the biosafety and environment risk assessment for GM crop commercialization.

The effects of 2-arnino-3-methyIimidazo[4,5-fq]u inoline (IQ), 2-amino-6dimethyl-dipyrido[l,2-a;3',2'-d] imidazole (Glu-P-1) and aflatoxin B1 (AFBI) on the mitotic recombinations and somatic chromosome mutations were investigated using the transgenic Drosophila bearing a chimeric gene consisting of a promoter region of Drosophila actin 5C gene and rat DNA polymerase $. For investigating mitotic recombinations and the somatic chromosome mutations, the heterozygous (mwhl+) strain possessing or lacking transgene pol P was used. The spontaneous frequency of small mwh spots, due to deletion or nondisjunction etc., in the non-transgenic w strain and the transgenic plpol $1-130 strain was 0.351 and 0.606, respectively. The spontaneous frequency (0.063) of large mwh spots, arising mostly from somatic recombination between the centromere and the locus mwh, in the transgenic plpol $1-130 strain, was about three times higher than that (0.021) of the non-transgenic w strain. The mutant clone frequencies of two types induced by two heterocyclic mines (IQ and Glu-P-1) and AFBl in the transformant pbol PI-130 were two or three times higher than those in the host strain w. These mean that rat DNA polymerase P participates at least in the somatic chromosome mutations and mitotic recombination processes. And the present results suggest that the transgenic Drosophl!~ used in this study can be used as a hypersensitive, in vivo short-term assaying system for various environmental mutagens.

Karyotype analysis was carried out in four lines of Bupleurum falcatum L. cultivated in Korea and SDS-PAGE was applied to determine the seed protein profiles among the lines. Chromosomes were classified into two groups, large and small ones. Two kinds of karyotype, 2n=20 and 2n=26, were identified. Chromosome 1 of 2n=20 were all submedian, while that of 2n=26 were median. Chromosomes 2, 3 and 5 of 2n=20 showed polymorphism in size and arm-ratio. Chromosome 2 was submedian, while others were median in the line of 2n=26. Karyotypcs of cultivars native of Korea were similiar each other, while those introduced from Japan showed different patterns. In SDS PAGE gels, qualitative difference s in high molecular weight proteins, more than 45KD, were detected among the lines. The numbers of specific band were three in lines of 2n=20 and two in 2n=26.
