  • Effects of HgCl$_2$-treatment on electron transport, chlorophyll a fluorescence and its quenching were studied using isolated barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Albori) chloroplasts. Depending on the concentration of HgCI$_2$, photosynthetic oxygen-evolving activities of photosystem II (PS II) were greatly inhibited, whereas those of photosystem I (PS I) were slightly decreased. The inhibitory effects of HgCl$_2$ on the oxygen-evolving activity was partially restored by the addition of hydroxyamine, suggesting the primary inhibition site by HgCl$_2$2-treatment is close to the oxidizing site of PS tl associated with water-splitting complex. Addition of 50 $\mu$M HgCI$_2$ decreased both photochemical and nonphotochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence. Especially, energy dependent quenching (qE) was completely disappeared by HgCl$_2$-treatment as observed by NH$_4$CI treatment. In the presence of HgCI$_2$, F'o level during illumination was also increased. These results suggest that pH gradient across thylakoid membrane can not be formed in the presence of 0 $\mu$M HgCl$_2$. In addition, antenna pigment composition might be altered by HgCl$_2$-treatment.

  • This study was conducted to investigate optimal time for dissecting out embryos, effect of embryo size on plant generation, and kinds of media and environment in order to establish an effective bulbosum method. The optimum time for dissecting out the embryos for culture was found to be 17 days after pollination, when the size of embryos ranged from 0.8 to 1.0mm in length. Culture of embryos on B5 medium under continuous radiation was considered to be an efficient practice for production of barley hybrids. Haploid embryos, when compared to their counterpart diploid ones, were slower and fewer in plant development in culture.

  • By using several solvents, barley extracts containing the anticomplementary activities in classical pathway were prepared (250 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml): methanol (83.1%), ethanol (71.9%), water extract (25.4%), M-1 (250 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), and the soluble part of methanol extract which showed the highest activity (83.4%) and the yield. Anticomplementary activity of methanol extract as well as protease digestion in classical pathway showed 82.4% and 78.4% in the concentration of 250 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, respectively. It was found that protein was not involved in anticomplementary activity in the classical pathway and the methanol extract made an impact on classical pathway, but not on alternative pathway. For the immune-stimulating effect, the T cell proliferation effect of the protease digestion displayed little effect irrespective of the dose. In addition, the T cell proliferation effect of methanol extract showed 13-fold higher proliferation effect compared with positive control. It was revealed that the substance containing protein serves as an important factor for the immune proliferation. Therefore, the anticomplementary activity ${\beta}$-glucan in classical pathway and alternative pathway displayed the lowest activity, showing 2.2%, 22.3% respectively. However, the immune-stimulating effect of ${\beta}$-glucan showed the T cell stimulating effect 13 times higher than positive control.

  • Commercial cultivars and elite germplasms of barely (Hordeum vulgare L) are still recalcitrant to genetic transformation because of the lack of an efficient regeneration system. In this study, we established an efficient plant regeneration procedure from embryogenic calli derived from mature embryos. Callus induction from germinated mature embryos was best as over 95% in CIM medium (CI medium containing $2.5mg/{\ell}$ dicamba) under dark incubation. Development of embryogenic callus was highest as over 50% in CI3D medium (EC medium supplemented with $3mg/{\ell}$ 2,4-D). The highest regeneration of plants from embryogenic callus (40%) was obtained with CIS medium ($SI+1mg/{\ell}IAA\;and\;2mg/{\ell}\;BA$). These plant regeneration conditions could be useful in improving barley transformation efficiency.

  • Bulbosum method, which haploids are developed by pollinating with H. bulbosum have been productive to be recommended as an effective method for the production of genetically stable normal barley hybrids. The purpose of this study is to investigate several characters of H. bulbosum, seed set and embryo development rate pollinated with H. bulbosum in order to establish a method for improvement of embryo development and to find conditions favoring plant development from the embryos cultured in vitro. Three lines of H. bulbosum used as pollinators: GBC(2${\times}$), Spenish diploid(2${\times}$) and var. Jaaska (4${\times}$) were morphologically similar, having characteristically narrow leaves, narrow and long culms, long spikes and anthesis duration in comparison with H. vulgare. H. bulbosum, var. Jaaska(4${\times}$) on being pollinated to barley cultivars, increased embryo formation by 8% and plant development in vitro by three times compared to the other diploid lines. the plants developed were not normal barley hybrids but had some H. bulbosum chromosomes uneliminated, indicating that the line was unstable as a pollinator to induce barley haploids.
