A ginseng protein fraction which has been reported to have radiation protective effect was purified from Korean ginseng and its effects on relative survival and chromosome aberration were studied in UV irradiated CHO-K1 cells. When the protein fraction $(100\;{\mu}g/ml)$ was added to the cells before UV irradiation at 4\;J/$m^2$,, the survival rates were increased to 53.8% from 40.6% in control. Addition of the protein $(100\;{\mu}g/ml)$ after UV irradiation at 4 and $8\;J/m^2$ raised the rates to 85.4 and 24.0% from 79.2 and 11.5% in control, respectively. When the ginseng protein $(800\;{\mu}g/ml)$ was added to the cells exposed to UV light at 10, 20, $30\;J/m^2$, the frequencies of chromosome aberration (CA) were reduced significantly to almost same level regardless of the UV dose increment and there was no significant difference between pre- and post-treatment. When the concentration of ginseng protein was increased from 200 to $800\;{\mu}g/ml$, at UV dose of 10, 20, $30\;J/m^2$ each, the CA frequencies were decreased consistently as the dose of ginseng protein increased, at all UV doses tested. Similar effects were observed in both cases of pre- and post-treatment. The data suggest that the protein may reduce cell damage caused by UV light, especially damage to DNA molecule, or play a role in repair processes of damaged DNA, to increase cell survival and reduce chromosome aberrations.

한국산 흰명아주(Chenopodium album var. album), 명아주(var. centrorubrum), 가는명아주(var. stenophyllum)를 대상으로 aceto-orcein에 의한 염색체 수와 모양을 조사하였고, 45S rDNA 유전자를 이용한 FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) 방법을 수행하여 세포유전학적 유연관계를 고찰하였다. 체세포 염색체 수는 흰명아주와 명아주는 모두 2n = 6x = 54개인 반면에 가는명아주는 2n = 4x = 36으로 뚜렷이 구별되었으며, 기본염색체수는 x = 9 개였다. 명아주속의 염색체에서 45S rDNA의 위치를 알아보기 위한 FISH 결과는 흰명아주의 경우 8개의 signal이, 가는명아주에서는 2개의 signal이 관찰되어 종간 차이를 보였으며, 모두 염색체 말단부위에서 관찰되었다. 염색체의 수와 형태, 45S rDNA를 이용한 FISH 결과는 명아주가 흰명아주에 통합되지만, 가는명아주와는 뚜렷이 구별됨을 지지해 주었다.

To understand the signal transduction pathway that leads to the activation of the wound-inducible proteinase inhibitor II (pin2) promoter. $F_2$ progenies of wound (-) mutant crossed with wild-type Arabidopsis plants were biochemically and genetically characterized. Wound (-) mutant was derived from transgenic Arabidopsis plants containing bacterial cytosine deaminase gene under the control of pin2 promoter. The cytosine deaminase assays indicated that wound (-) mutant is a dominant inhibitor of wound-inducibility as only 3 of the $20F_2$ progenies showed cytosine deaminase (CDase) activity, To construct a structural map of the wound (-) mutant chromosomal regions, cleaved, amplified polymorphic sequences (CAPS) markers that cover all Chromosomes were used. Chromosomal regions covered by three different CAPS markers could be candidates for further fine mapping of the location of the wound (-) mutation. g4026, RGA1 and ASA1 located at 84.9 on recombinant inbred (RI) map of chromosome I, at 1.75 on RI map of chromosome II, and 18.35 on RI map of chromosome V, respectively.

Nuclear transfer (NT) techniques have advanced in the last years, and cloned animals have been produced by using somatic cells in several species including pig. However, it is difficult that the nuclear transfer porcine embryos development to blastocyst stage overcoming the cell block in vitro. Abnormal segregation of chromosomes in nuclear transferred embryos on genome activation stage bring about embryo degeneration, abnormal blastocyst, delayed and low embryo development. Thus, we are evaluated that the correlations of the frequency of embryo developmental rates and chromosome aberration in NT and In viかo fertilization (IVF) derived embryo. We are used for ear-skin-fibroblast cell in NT. If only karyotyping of embryonic cells are chromosomally abnormal, they may difficultly remain undetected. Then, we evaluate the chromosome aberrations, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with porcine chromosome 1 submetacentric specific DNA probe were excuted. In normal diploid cell nucleus, two hybridization signal was detected. In contrast, abnormal cell figured one or three over signals. The developmental rates of NT and IVF embryos were 55% vs 63%, 32% vs 33% and 13% vs 17% in 2 cell, 8 cell and blastocyst, respectively. When looking at the types of chromosome aberration, the detection of aneuploidy at Day 3 on the embryo culture. The percentage of chromosome aneuploidy of NT and IVF at 4-cell stage 40.0%, 31.3%, respectively. This result indicate that chromosomal abnormalities are associated with low developmental rate in porcine NT embryo. It is also suggest that abnormal porcine embryos produced by NT associated with lower implantation rate, increase abortion rate and production of abnormal fetuses.

DNA 回復合成과 染色體交換과의 聯關性을 추구하기 위해 알킬화제 突然變異誘發原인 MMC, MNNG, MMS를 培養한 사람의 淋巴球와 HeLa $S_3$ 細胞에 處理하여 다음과 같은 結果를 얻었다. 1. 이들 알킬화제에 의해 誘發된 DNA 回復合成은 MMC, MNNG, MMS의 濃度가 각각 $3 \\times 10^-7, 1 \\times 10^-6, 5 \\times 10^-4 M$에서 檢出되었다. 이는 MMC가 가장 强力한 DNA 回復合成 誘發原이며 다음이 MNNG 그 다음이 MMS임을 뜻한다. MMC와 MNNG는 濃度增加에 따른 DNA 回復合成에 큰 차이를 보이지 않으나 MMS는 현저한 增加를 보인다. 2. MMC에 의한 染色體異常은 濃度가 增加함에 따라 그 率에 현저한 增加를 보이나 染色體交換率에는 별차이가 없다. 그러나 MNNG는 染色體異常率에 차가 없고 染色體交換은 觀察되지 않았다. MMS는 染色體異常 및 染色體交換 모두 濃度의 增加에 따른 그 率의 增加를 나타낸다. 이러한 結果는 突然變異誘發原에 의한 DNA 回復合成이 染色體交換 및 染色體異常과 직접적인 연관성이 없음을 시사하는 것이다.

The frequencies of chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid-exchanges in peripheral blood lymphocyte of 44 nurses handling anticancer drugs were compared with those in 44 age-match controls. The frequencies of dicentric chrdmosome were $2.4\times 10^{-3}$ in the exposed and $0.5\times 10^{-3}$ in the control. The frequencies of sister cromatid exchanges in the exposed were slightly higher (5.68 SCEs/cell) than those in the control (5.04 SCEs/cell). The frequencies of chromosome aberrations and sister cromatid exchanges were not associated with duration of drug handling and types of anticancer drugs, but associated with use of safety cover.

To evaluate the genotoxicity of CKD-602, an anticancer agent the in viかo reverse mutation assay using Salmonella typhimurium, the Chromosome aberration assay using Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cells and the in vivo micronucleus assay using bone marrow cells of ddY mice were performed. In the reverse mutation assay, CKD-602 did not induced mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, and TA 1537 strains with and without metabolic activation. In the chromosome aberration test using CHL cells, there was an increased incidence of structural aberrations induced by CKD-602 without metabolic activation during 24 and 48 hours, but CKD-602 did not induce chromosome aberration with metabolic activation. The in vivo induction of micronuclei was measured in polychromatic erythrocytes of bone marrow of male ddY mice. At 24 hours after treatment with CED-602 by i.p. once, there was an increased incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in bone marrow of ddY male mice.

Sexing and developing from splitted embryos which were fertilized in vitro implicate a possibility of production of the superior and sex controlled individuals. This study was carried out to investigate the production of transferable late blastocysts from in vitro fertilized embryos and to analyze sex by chromosome analysis from same embryos. In results, the ratio of cleavage and fertility of bovine follicular oocytes matured in vitro was 90% in co-cultured with granulosa cells. The competence of embryonic development from in vitro matured and fertilized bovine oocytes was 38% in co-cultured with bovine oviductal epithelial cells. To produce a lot of transferable embryos, therefore, the best conditon of culture system was co-cultured with granulosa cells for immature bovine oocytes and then co-cultured with bovine oviductal eptithelial cells for matured and fertilized oocytes. In chromosome analysis, 93% of in vitro fertilized embryos were very important aspect in chromosome preparation from bovine embryos such as duration of colcemid treatment, weakening of zona pellucida, methods of hypotonic treatment and fixation treatment.

Beta-ray irradiation effects on structural changes of the chromosomes in root tip of rye, Secale cereale L., seedlings, particularly the frequency of chromosome bridge induction at anaphase stage treated with radioactive sulfur (S35) solutions were studied in this experiment. Among the four different concentrations of isotope solution, the lowest one, 0.4$\mu$c solution, has shown weak effect on the induction of chromosome aberration. On the other hand, higher concentration, 25.6$\mu$c solution, induced higher frequency of chromosome bridge induction as much as 4.3%. Concerning the relationship between the ages of after treatment and the ranges of concentration, the higher concentrations showed more pronounced effects than the lower ones.
