Agrobacterium을 이용한 lisianthus화분의 형질전환을 위하여 적정조건을 수립하였다. 화분의 발아 및 화분관의 발달은 화분발아배지(pollen germination medium; PCM)에 sucrose를 $7-15\%$ 첨가 시키고 pH조건을 5.5-7.0으로 조절하여 $20^{\circ}C-27^{\circ}C$에서 배양할 경우 성공적으로 이루어졌다. 형질전환을 위하여 Agrobacterium 현탁액을 lisianthus화분배양액에 첨가하여 진공침윤을 20 min실시하였으며 형질전환화분은 조직화학적 분석 그리고 발현되는 GUS mRNA를 이용한 RT-PCR 및 Southern hybridization에 의한 DNA산물 분석 등에 의하여 GUS발현을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 화분을 이용한 일시발현기술을 제시하게 되었다.

Extensive research of the Potato virus X(PVX) has been performed in in vitro transcription system using the bacteriophage T7 promoter. We constructed an efficient T-DNA based binary vector, pSNU1, and modified vectors carrying PVX replicons. The suitability of the construct to transiently express PVX RNA using Agrobacterium tumefaciens was tested by analysis of infectivity in plants. The expressed PVX RNA was infectous and systemically spread in three plant species including Nicotiana benthamiana, N. tabacum cv. Xanthi-nc, and Capsicum annuum cv. Chilsungcho. The PVX full length construct, pSPVXp31, was caused severe mosaic symptoms on N. benthamiana, severe necrotic lesions on C. annuum while milder symptoms and delayed mosaic symptoms were appeared on the systemic leaves on N. tabaccum. RT-PCR analysis confirmed the presence of PVX RNAs on both inoculated and systemic leaves in all three plant species tested. Our results indicated that PVX replicons were efficiently expressed PVX RNA in at least three tested species. Further investigation win be needed to elucidate the mechanism of PVX replication, translation, movement and assembly/disassembly processes.

미나리의 엽조직을 agroinfiltration 및 동시배양을 수행하기 전에 NaOH 용액에서 3 min 처리를 실시하였다. MTT를 이용한 세포사멸실험에서 0.7% NaOH 용액처리까지는 엽조직 세포활성에 안전한 것으로 판단되었다. GUS 효소활성의 형광분석 결과 0.5% NaOH를 처리한 미나리 엽조직에 대하여 Agrobacterium cells ($OD_{600}=0.5$에서 1.0)을 이용한 vacuum infiltration (20 min)을 실시할 경우 효율적 형질전환이 이루어짐을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 조건은 western blotting과 ELISA에 의한 HBsAg의 발현 검정에서 확인할 수 있었다.

Nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) encoded by RNA3 of Rice stripe virus (RSV), known to be a suppressor of gene silencing, was cloned and sequenced. The cloned NS3 gene is composed of 636 nucleotides encoding 211 deduced amino acids, and showed a high degree of similarity with the equivalent genes isolated from Korea, Japan and China. The NS3 gene promoted the enhancement of transient gene expression and suppressed transgene co-silencing. In the transient GFP expression via agroinfiltration, GFP expression was dramatically enhanced in terms of both protein yield and expression period in the presence of NS3. The highest accumulation of GFP protein reached to 6.8% of total soluble proteins, which corresponded to a two-fold increase compared to that obtained in the absence of NS3. In addition, NS3 significantly suppressed the initiation of GFP co-silencing induced by the additive GFP infiltration in GFP-transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana. The NS3 gene was also found to be a stronger suppressor than Cucumber mosaic virus 2b. These observations are believed to be derived from the strong suppressive effect of NS3 on gene silencing, and indicate that NS3 could be used as an effective enhancer for the rapid production of foreign proteins in plants.

Brassica campestris var. narinosa는 새싹채소로 애용되는 식물로서 간단한 용기에서 손쉽게 재배할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 vacuum-infiltration을 통한 Agrobacterium-mediated transformation에 의해서 B. campestris var. narinosa 싹에서의 GUS일시발현을 성공적으로 확인하였다. 발아전의 종자가 발아를 이미 시작한 종자보다 그 형질전환 효율이 높게 나타났다. 한편, hydrogen peroxide를 2일 생장시킨 싹에 처리한 후 형질전환 하였을 때 GUS발현이 증가되는 것을 관찰하였다. 간염항원유전자의 형질전환과 ELISA에 의한 항원단백질의 발현량 분석 시 hydrogen peroxide 처리 싹이 비처리 형질전환 싹에서 보다 2배 이상의 발현량이 측정되었다.

The full-length cDNA encoding Perilla frutescens limonene synthase (PFLS) (603 amino acids, GenBank accession no. D49368) was cloned. To elucidate the role of PFLS in gene regulation, we transiently transformed full-length PFLS into tobacco plants. PFLS mRNA was first detected in the intact leaves of the plants at 6 h, and the LS transcript level increased after 12 h in leaves treated with oxidative stress-related chemicals. The transient overexpression of PFLS resulted in increased transcription of NbPR1 and NbSIP in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. Thus, our result confirmed that the infiltration of PFLS gene act as a transcriptional regulator of NbPR1 or NbSIP genes in the tobacco.

Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) is a positive strand RNA virus that infects mainly Cruciferae plants. In this study, the TYMV genome was modified by inserting an extra subgenomic RNA promoter and a multiple cloning site. This modified TYMV was introduced into Nicotiana benthamiana using a Agrobacterium-mediated T-DNA transfer system (agroinfiltration). When a gene encoding $\beta$-glucuronidase or green fluorescent protein was expressed using this modified TYMV as a vector, replication of the recombinant viruses, especially the virus containing $\beta$-glucuronidase gene, was severely inhibited. The suppression of replication was reduced by co-expression of viral silencing suppressor genes, such as tombusviral p19, closteroviral p21 or potyviral HC-Pro. As expected, two subgenomic RNAs were produced from the recombinant TYMV, where the larger one contained the foreign gene. An RNase protection assay revealed that the recombinant subgenomic RNA was encapsidated as efficiently as the genuine subgenomic RNA.

Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) RNA has two hairpins in its 5' untranslated region (5'-UTR). To investigate the role of the hairpins in replication of TYMV, mutants lacking one or both of the two hairpins were constructed. The TYMV constructs were introduced into Chinese cabbage by an Agrobacterium-mediated T-DNA transfer method, called agroinfiltration. Analysis of total RNA from agroinfiltrated leaves showed that replication of the mutant TYMV RNA lacking both hairpins was about 1/100 of wild type. This mutant was also impaired in systemic spread. Deletion analysis of each hairpin revealed that both hairpins were needed for maximal replication. The deletion analysis along with sequence modification of the hairpin structure indicates that the second hairpin plays a role in efficient long-distance systemic movement of TYMV.
