For determination of mutation frequency induced by chronic irradiation of low dose gamma rays, Tradescarrfia clone 4430 was exposed to Co-60 ${\gamma}$ rays with different exposure rates from 3.6mR/day to 182R/day in or out of the Gamma Field at Kumkok Experiment Farm of KAERI. Somatic mutations based on pink mutant events of the stamen hair cells were clearly observed by the treatment. The pink mutant events were increased proportionally with increasing exposure rates of gamma ray except for relatively high dose rates of 105 R/day and 182 R/day, indicating saturation effect of mutation. The somatic pink mutations could be fairly detectable even in the low dose rate of 3.6mR/day. Therefore, this stamen hair system of Tradescantia clone 4430 seemed to be an reasonable test system for detecting mutability of low level irradiation. These results imply that artificial mutation induction in the fruit and ornamental trees could be expected in the ${\gamma}$-field.

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.

This study investigated the inhibitory effect of methanol extracts and several solvent fractions from doen-jang on mutagenicity using in vitro SOS chromotest and in vivo Drosophila mutagenic system. In order to determine an antimutagenic effect of doenjang methanol extracts, other soybean fermented foods and original materials were compared. The treatment of doenjang methanol extracts (100 ${\mu}$/assay) to SOS chromotest system inhibited N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) induced mutagenicity by 87~97% and showed higher antimutagenic effect than other fermented foods. Among solvent fractions from doenjang methanol extracts, the ethylacetate and dichloromethane fractions showed the stronger antimutagenic effect (91% and 95%, respectively) in SOS chromotest. In Drosophila mutagenic system, the treatment of ethylacetate fraction (5%/bottle) significantly inhibited aflatoxin $B_1$ induced mutagenicity by 97%. These results demonstrated that doenjang had an inhibitory effect to mutagenic agents in both in vitro and in vivo mutagenic systems, suggesting that its antimutagenic effect may be due to active compounds in the ethylacetate fraction from doenjang methanol extracts.

Sclerotinia homoeocarpa, the causal agent of dollar spot, is one of the most common pathogens of cool season turfgrasses in South Korea. The vegetative compatibility group (VCG) assay was carried out using nitrate-nonutilizing (nit) mutants recovered from 13 South Korean isolates with various geographical origins. The mutants were divided into four phenotypic classes based on mutation loci associated with nitrogen assimilation: nit1, nit2, nit3, and NitM. The recovered number of nit mutants greatly varied among the isolates, ranging from 0 to 15 mutants. Of the mutants isolated, nit1 and nit2 mutants were most common (80%) while NitM and nit3 were relatively rare. One dominant and four minor VCGs were determined from 18 mutant isolates tested. To study population structures of Korean S. homoeocarpa isolates and increase our understanding of its ecological and epidemiological aspects for dollar spot management on turfgrass, more generated mutants should be tested with more diverse isolate collections.

Mutation of p53 tumor suppressor gene in HNSCC (head and neck squamous cell carcinoma) has been proposed high rate. We extracted genomic DNA from 50 head and neck cancer. The DNA was amplified by PCR at exon 5-8 in p53 tumor suppressor gene. We have compared single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) method for analysis of p53 somatic mutation. As a result, 16 deleted mutations (32%) were detected by SSCP analysis and 17 deleted mutations (34%) were detected by DHPLC analysis at exon 8. All of 17 mutations were proved by sequencing. We conclude that DHPLC is a fast and simple screening method rather than SSCP analysis.

인공면역시스템을 이용한 침입탐지시스템 개발을 위해 적용한 동적 클론 선택(Dynamic Clonal Selection) 알고리즘과 그의 문제점을 소개하고 보다 개선된 동적 클론 선택 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이전 연구에서 침입탐지시스템이 흔히 접하게 되는 상황, 즉 과거 안정적으로 관찰되었던 정상행위가 합법적인 요인들로 인하여 갑작스러운 변화를 보일 경우 과거 생성되었던 기억탐지자가 정상행위를 비정상행위로 오류 판단하는 것을 막기 위하여 인간면역시스템의 체세포 돌연변이 (somatic hypermutation)를 이용하여 유전자 라이브러리를 진화시키는 방법을 첨가한 동적 클론 선택 알고리즘을 소개한다.

In vivo Drosophilla 돌연변이 검출계에서 발생 단계상의 독성효과가 없는 범위에서 소금 및 젓갈을 단독 처리했을 때 모든 시료가 자연발생 빈도가 유사하게 나타났다. MNNG의 체세포 돌연변이 유발에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과 생멸치, 6개월간 속성된 멸치 12개월된 멸치액젓은 항돌연변이효과를 보였고, 발효하지 않은 소금에 절인 멸치는 small muh spots 와 large mwh spots 의 출현빈도에 대해 모두 보돌연변이 효과를 보였다. 따라서 멸치 젓갈 제조시 멸치에 소금이 첨가되어 (생젓갈) 돌연변이 유발이 일어날 가능성이 있지만 숙성기간이 길어지면 (12개월, 익은 젓갈) 오히려 항돌연변이효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
