포도 ASR (VvMSA) 단백질은 hexose transporter 유전자 VvHT1의 전사를 조절하는 조절 인자 중의 하나로서 sugar 및 abscisic acid (ABA) 신호에 의해 발현이 유도된다. 본 연구진은 ACP RT-PCR (annealing control primer reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction) 방법을 이용하여 포도 과실발달 과정에서 조절되는 유전자 중 VvMSA와 동일한 cDNA (VlASR)를 클로닝하였다. 이 유전자는 착과 시기에 발현되기 시작하여 과실이 발달하면서 점점 증가하여 착과 후 10 주에 가장 많이 발현되며, 숙기 후반에는 도리어 발현양이 감소하였다. 포도 asr 유전자의 조절기작을 밝히기 위해, 이 유전자의 genomic clone을 분리하였다. 총 1375 bp로 이루어진 이 유전자 절편에는 open reading frame과 100 bp의 intron을 포함하고 있다. 약 600 bp 길이의 프로모터 내에는 sugar 신호전달과 연관이 있는 것으로 알려진 sugar box(sucrose box 3 +sucrose response box 1)가 있다. 프로모터 절편을 reporter 유전자와 연결하여 Arabidopsis에 도입하고 형질전환체를 분석한 결과, reporter 유전자는 sucrose 처리와 상관없이 항상 발현되었다. 이러한 결과는 포도에서 보고된 ASR/VvHT1를 매개로 하는 sugar/ABA 신호전달계가 asr 유전자가 없는 Arabidopsis에서는 작동되지 않음을 시사하고 있다.

The Korean radish cationic peroxidase (KRCP) promoter, comprising nucleotides -471 to +704 relative to the transcriptional initiation site, was fused to the GUS gene and transformed to tobacco BY-2 cells. We examined how auxin (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 2,4-D), cytokinin (6-benzylaminopurine, BAP), gibberellic acid ($GA_3$), abscisic acid (ABA), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), and phosphatidic acid (PA) affect the GUS expression in the presence or absence of 2,4-D in a modified LS medium. Exogenous 2,4-D or BAP greatly decreased the GUS expression regulated by the KRCP promoter in a modified LS medium containing 0.2 mg/l 2,4-D. $GA_3$ increased the GUS expression and ABA completely reduced the inductive effect of $GA_3$. The GUS expression was also increased dose-dependently by plant defense regulators, MeJA and PA. In contrast to the above results, auxin deprivation from the modified LS medium increased the GUS expression after treatment with exogenous 2,4-D whereas BAP still greatly decreased the GUS expression dose-dependently. $GA_3$ or MeJA slightly decreased the GUS expression. The data suggest that auxin deprivation changes the sensitivity of the suspension cells to exogenous chemicals and that the regulation of the KRCP promoter by 2,4-D, $GA_3$, and MeJA is dependent on auxin, whereas the regulation by BAP is not. This study will be valuable for understanding the function and expression mode of the Korean radish cationic peroxidase in Korean radish.

Non-protein amino acid, ${\beta}$-amino-n-butyric acid (BABA), has been involved in diverse physiological processes including seedling growth, stress tolerance and disease resistance of many plant species. In the current study, treatment of kimchi cabbage seedlings with BABA significantly reduced primary root elongation and cotyledon development in a dose-dependent manner, which adverse effects were similar to the plant response to exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) application. BABA was synergistically contributing ABA-induced growth arrest during the early seedling development. Kimchi cabbage leaves were highly damaged and seedling growth was delayed by foliar spraying with high concentrations of BABA (10 to 20 mM). BABA played roles differentially in in vitro fungal conidial germination, mycelial growth and conidation of necrotroph Alternaria brassicicola causing black spot disease and hemibiotroph Colletotrichum higginsianum causing anthracnose. Pretreatment with BABA conferred induced resistance of the kimchi cabbage against challenges by the two different classes of fungal pathogens in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that BABA is involved in plant development, fungal development as well as induced fungal disease resistance of kimchi cabbage plant.

식물생장억제물질의 처리는 날개하늘나리의 줄기 신장을 억제시키는데, 여기에 관여하는 식물호르몬을 찾기 위해 diniconazole의 엽면살포 후 내생 GA 및 ABA의 함량 변화를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 날개하늘나리(L. dauricum)는 $GA_1$을 활성형으로 하는 early C-13 hydroxylation($GA_{19}{\rightarrow}GA_{20}{\rightarrow}GA_1$) 경로와 $GA_4$를 활성형으로 하는 non C-13 hydroxylation(NCH, $GA_{12}{\rightarrow}GA_{24}{\rightarrow}GA_9{\rightarrow}GA_4$) 경로 모두를 가지고 있었으나, 주된 경로는 NCH 경로였다. NCH 경로의 GA 생합성은 diniconazole $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 살포에 의해 초기 단계에서부터 억제되었다. 즉 diniconazole 처리구의 $GA_{12}$ 함량은 대조구에 비해 1/17로 현저히 감소되었으며, 이러한 경향은 $GA_4$까지 계속되었다. 즉 건물 1g당 $GA_{12}$ 함량은 대조구가 213.8ng인 것에 비해, diniconazole 처리구는 12.7ng이었다. ABA의 함량도 GA에서와 같이 diniconazole 살포에 의해 1/3 수준으로 크게 감소되었다. 즉 건물 1g당 ABA 함량은 대조구 37.2ng인 것에 비해, diniconazole 처리구는 14.8ng이었다. 본 연구의 결과, 내생 $GA_4$, $GA_1$, 그리고 ABA의 함량을 고려할 때 diniconazole에 의한 날개하늘나리의 초장감소는 $GA_4$의 생합성 억제에 기인한 것으로 생각된다.

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), a key enzyme of the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, is activated by a number of developmental and environmental cues. The coding region of the NtPAL4 gene was 2,154 bp in length, and its deduced protein was composed of 717 amino acids. Sequence analysis of NtPAL4 cDNA from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) revealed high structural similarity to PAL genes of other plant species. The NtPAL4 gene exists as a single copy in the tobacco plant, and its transcripts were strongly expressed in flowers and leaves. NtPAL4 expression was significantly induced in response to NaCl, mannitol, and cold treatments, but it was not induced by abscisic acid (ABA). NtPAL4 expression decreased gradually after treatment with ABA and $H_2O_2$; however, NtPAL4 transcripts accumulated after treatment with methyl viologen (MV). Our results suggest that the NtPAL4 gene may function in response to abiotic stresses.

$Cd^{2+}$이 닭의장풀의 분리표피와 온전한 잎의 기공개폐에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. $Cd^{2+}$을 분리표피에 처리하였을 때 기공열림이 촉진되었다. 100$\mu$M$Cd^{2+}$처리시 기공은 8.38$\mu\textrm{m}$까지 열렸으나, 대조구는 3.74$\mu\textrm{m}$였다. 대조구의 기공 크기는 일반적으로 작게 열렸다. 따라서, 분리표피가 생리적으로 건강한지를 조사하기 위해, 살리실릭산(SA)과 앱시스산(ABA)을 분리표피에 처리하여 기공크기를 측정하였다. 100$\mu$M SA와 1$\mu$M ABA는 기공열림을 각각 14%와 28% 억제하였다. 비슷한 효과가 다른 중금속인 $Al^{3+}과 Ag^{2+}$에서도 발견되는지 이들에 대한 기공개폐 효과를 살펴보았다. $Al^{3+}과 Ag^{2+}$도 기공열림을 각각 19%, 41%촉진하였다. 카드뮴에 의한 기공열림 기작을 이해하기 위해 K+흡수에 대한 카드뮴의 효과를 조사하였다. $Cd^{2+}$, SA 그리고 ABA는 분리표피에서 K+흡수를 각각 98%, 28%, 34% 억제하였다. $Cd^{2+}$이 온전한 잎에 미치는 기공개폐의 영향을 조사하기 위해 3주간 성장한 닭의장풀을 Hoagland용액(0.5mM $Cd^{2+}$, 10mM $Cd^{2+}$)에서 수경 배양한 후 온전한 잎의 기공전도도를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 기공전도도는 대조구에 비해 5mM $Cd^{2+}$과 10mM Cd$^{2+}$에서 각각 51%, 70%감소되었다. 따라서, $Cd^{2+}$은 닭의장풀의 분리표피와 온전한 잎의 기공개폐에 상반된 반응을 보이며, 분리한 표피에서 $Cd^{2+}$에 의한 기공열림은 $Cd^{2+}이 K^+$ 흡수를 방해하고, 자신이 공변세포로 들어가 팽압을 유도한 결과로 사료된다.

Pepper defensin ( CADEFl) clone was isolated from cDNA library constructed from pepper leaves infected with avirulent strain Bv5-4a of Xanthomonu campestris pv. vesicatoria. The deduced amino acid sequence of CADEFl is 82-64％ identical to that of other plant defensins. Putative protein encoded by CADEFl gene consists of 78 amino acids and 8 conserved cysteine residues to form four structure-stabilizing disulfide bridges. Transcription of the CADEF1 gene was earlier and stronger induced by X campestris pv. vesicatoria infection in the incompatible than in the compatible interaction. CADEF1 mRNA was constitutively expressed in stem, root and green fruit of pepper. Transcripts of CADEFl gene drastically accumulated in pepper leaf tissues treated With Salicylic acid (SA), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), abscisic acid (ABA), hydrogen Peroxide (H$_2$O$_2$), benzothiadiazole (BTH) and DL-${\beta}$-amino-n-butyric acid (BABA). In situ hybridization results revealed that CADEF1 mRNA was localized in the phloem areas of vascular bundles in leaf tissues treated with exogenous SA, MeJA and ABA. Strong accumulation of CADEF1 mRNA occurred in pepper leaves in response to wounding, high salinity and drought stress. These results suggest that bacterial pathogen infection, abiotic elicitors and some environmental stresses may play a significant role in signal transduction pathway for CADEF1 gene expression.

The effects of wounding and jasmonic acid(JA) on polyphenol oxidase(PPO) in tomato(Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) seedlings were investigated. PPO was strongly induced by wounding or JA, and the response was also shown to be systemically induced by wounding. Mechanical wounding in cotyledon or leaf produced a signal that caused the concentration of PPO to increase in the unwounded cotyledon, in the first leaves but not in the second leaves. Severity of wounding and light intensity also affected wound induced change in PPO activity, JA showed a stimulatory effect on the loss of chlorophyll and the rapid increase in PPO activity. The PPO was clearly more active in the wounded leaves than in controls. The potency and specificity of the JA indicate a close relationship between JA and wound-induced changes in PPO in tomato species. JA and abscisic acid(ABA) acted similarly on both unwounded and wounded leaves, but the amount of PPO in the wounded leaves was always more than the respective controls. The highest increase in PPO activity occurred in woundand JA-induced leaves of seedlings kept under bright lighting. Benzyladenine(BA) completely abolished JA- and ABA-induced PPO activity. The results suggest that JA-induced PPO activity is due to de novo PPO synthesis. Histochemical tests for PPO in stems of wound- and JA -treated tomato plants indicate that PPO was localized primarily, in the. outer .cortex . and xylem parenchyma. It is concluded that exogenously applied JA acts as stress agents and PPO may be a component of the inducible anti-hervivore defense response.

MiR399f plays a crucial role in maintaining phosphate homeostasis in Arabidopsis thaliana. Under phosphate starvation conditions, AtMYB2, which plays a role in plant salt and drought stress responses, directly regulates the expression of miR399f. In this study, we found that miR399f also participates in plant responses to abscisic acid (ABA), and to abiotic stresses including salt and drought. Salt and ABA treatment induced the expression of miR399f, as confirmed by histochemical analysis of promoter-GUS fusions. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing miR399f (miR399f-OE) exhibited enhanced tolerance to salt stress and exogenous ABA, but hypersensitivity to drought. Our in silico analysis identified ABF3 and CSP41b as putative target genes of miR399f, and expression analysis revealed that mRNA levels of ABF3 and CSP41b decreased remarkably in miR399f-OE plants under salt stress and in response to treatment with ABA. Moreover, we showed that activation of stress-responsive gene expression in response to salt stress and ABA treatment was impaired in miR399f-OE plants. Thus, these results suggested that in addition to phosphate starvation signaling, miR399f might also modulates plant responses to salt, ABA, and drought, by regulating the expression of newly discovered target genes such as ABF3 and CSP41b.
