Bax, a mammalian pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family, induces cell death when expressed In yeast. To investigate whether .Bax expression can induce cell death in plant, we produced transgenic Arabidopsis plants that contained murine Bax cDNA under control of a glucocorticoid-inducible promoter. Transgenic plants treated with dexamethasone, a strong synthetic glucocorticoid, induced Bax accumulation and cell death, suggesting that some elements of cell death mechanism by Bax may be conserved among various orgarusms. Therefore, we developed novel yeast genetic system, and cloned several Plant Bax Inhibitors (PBIs). Here, we report the function of two PBIs In detail. PBIl is ascorbate peroxidase (sAPX). Fluorescence method of dihydrorhodamine123 oxidation revealed that expression of Bax in yeast cells generated reactive oxygen species (ROS), and which was greatly reduced by co-expression with sAPX. These results suggest that sAPX inhibits the generation of ROS by Bax, which in turn suppresses Bax-induced cell death in yeast. PBI2 encodes nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK). ROS stress strongly induces the expression of the NDPK2 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana (AtNDPK2). Transgenic plants overexpressing AtNDPK2 have lower lovels of ROS than wildtype plants. Mutants lacking AtNDPK2 had higher levels of ROS than wildtype. H$_{2O2}$ treatment induced the phosphorylation of two endogenous proteins whose molecular weights suggested they are AtMPK3 and AtMPK6. In the absence of H2O2 treatment, phosphorylation of these proteins was slightly elevated in plants overexpressing AtNDPK2 but markedly decreased In the AtNDPK2 deletion mutant. Yeast two-hybrid and in vitro protein pull-down assays revealed that AtNDPK2 specifically interacts with AtMPK3 and AtMPK6. Furthermore, AtNDPK2 also enhances the MBP phosphorylation activity of AtMPK3 i'n vitro. Finally, constitutive overexpression of AtNDPK2 in Arabidopsis plants conferred an enhanced tolerance to multiple environmental stresses that elicit ROS accumulation In situ. Thus, AtNDPK2 appears to play a novel regulatory role in H2O2-mediated MAPK signaling in plants.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of microbial fertilizers on the yield of altari radish, chemical components of plant and soil, and the microbial floras. Six microbial fertilizers, MPK＋Husk＋Palma, Husk＋Palma, MPK＋Compost, Compost, Bio livestock cattle system (BLCS) cattle dropping, and Tomi, were used in this experiment. The yield of altari radish was increased in treatments of all microbial fertilizers. The concentration of all chemical components in plant were not significantly different. Whereas the amount of $P_2$$O_{5}$ in soil was increased in Compost treatment, the other components were not significantly different compared with control. The total bacteria and bacilli in soil were increased in Tomi, Husk＋Palma, and MPK＋Husk＋Palma treatments, and actinomycete and fungi were increased in Tomi treatment.

홍국 김치는 절임 배추량에 대하여 홍국 쌀풀(20%)을 각각 2.5, 5%씩 첨가하여 김치를 제조한 다음, $10^{\circ}C$에서 15일간 발효시키면서 3일 간격으로 채취하여 김치 추출물을 제조하였다. 제조한 김치 추출물을 인간 유래의 4종의 암세포주인 AGS, KATOIII, HepG2, Hela에 대한 증식 억제 효과 및 6종의 식중독균에 대한 생육 저해 효과를 살펴보았다. 먼저 시료농도 1mg/mL 처리시에는 홍국을 첨가하지 않은 김치 대조군과 홍국을 첨가만 김치군 모두 40% 이하의 암세포 증식 억제를 보였으며, 시료농도 2mg/mL 처리시에는 대조군에 비해 홍국첨가 김치군에서 더 큰 증식 저해율을 보였다. 또한 김치를 담근 직후부터 발효 3일까지는 대부분의 균에 대한 김치의 항균력은 나타나지 않았으나, 발효 6일째부터는 식중독균에 대한 항균력을 나타내어, 발효가 진행되면서 김치 대조군 및 흥국첨가 김치군에서 항균성이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 김치 대조군에 비해 5% 홍국첨가 김치군에서 높은 항균성을 보여 홍국 함량이 증가할수록 항균활성이 조금 더 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 김치의 발효가 진행되면서 김치 추출물은 여러 암세포 주의 증식을 억제하고 6종의 식중독균에 대한 높은 항균황성을 보였고, 특히 홍국의 첨가량이 많은 김치추출물에서 암세포 주 증식 저해 활성 및 항균활성이 더 증가하였다.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascades play critical roles in various cellular events in plants, including stress responses, innate immunity, hormone signaling, and cell specificity. MAPK-mediated stress signaling is also known to negatively regulate nitrogen-fixing symbiotic interactions, but the molecular mechanism of the MAPK signaling cascades underlying the symbiotic nodule development remains largely unknown. We show that the MtMKK5-MtMPK3/6 signaling module negatively regulates the early symbiotic nodule formation, probably upstream of ERN1 (ERF Required for Nodulation 1) and NSP1 (Nod factor Signaling Pathway 1) in Medicago truncatula. The overexpression of MtMKK5 stimulated stress and defense signaling pathways but also reduced nodule formation in M. truncatula roots. Conversely, a MAPK specific inhibitor, U0126, enhanced nodule formation and the expression of an early nodulation marker gene, MtNIN. We found that MtMKK5 directly activates MtMPK3/6 by phosphorylating the TEY motif within the activation loop and that the MtMPK3/6 proteins physically interact with the early nodulation-related transcription factors ERN1 and NSP1. These data suggest that the stress signaling-mediated MtMKK5/MtMPK3/6 module suppresses symbiotic nodule development via the action of early nodulation transcription factors.

청가시덩굴은 청미래덩굴속에 속하며 청미래덩굴속 식물들은 전세계적으로 열대 및 아열대 지역에 서식하며 전통 의학에서 오랫동안 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구의 목적은 수컷과 암컷 ICR 마우스를 이용하여 청가시덩굴의 안전성을 확인하기 위해 청가시덩굴 추출물을 4주 동안 경구 투여하여 최대무독성용량을 평가하였다. 청가시덩굴 추출물을 500, 1000 및 2000 MPK 용량으로 4주 동안 매일 경구 투여한 결과 투여한 모든군에서 사망률, 임상 증상, 체중 변화, 섭취량, 혈액학적 분석, 혈청 생화학 검사 및 상대 장기 중량에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 본 연구에서 청가시덩굴 추출물은 ICR 마우스에서 어떠한 독성 효과도 나타내지 않았으며 청가시덩굴 추출물의 최대무독성용량은 2000 MPK 이상으로 간주되었음을 시사한다.

This study evaluated the effects of high pressured red ginseng(HRG) and ginseng berry(GB) supplementation on lipid profiles and run to exercise time in SD rats. Five weeks-old male rats were randomly assigned into six groups, ie. control group(AC: n = 8), exercise group(AE: n = 7), general extracted red ginseng group(C: n = 8), HRG group(high density D: n = 8, low density E: n = 7), and HRG + GB group(F: n = 7). The AC and AE groups had a supplementation of AIN-93G, and AE group performed 40 min treadmill exercise five times per week for five weeks. E, C, D, and F groups had a supplementation composed of general extracted red ginseng(GRG), HRG(250 mpk and 500 mpk), and HRG(250 mpk) + GB(167 mpk) in the AIN-93G. Main results of the study were as follow 1) the duration of running time to exhaustion was higher in exercise group compared to other groups. HRG had no effect on run to exhaustion time, but, GRG and HRG + GB showed longer run time than control groups. 2) Blood TC, TG, HDL-C and liver TG showed no difference between groups, but, liver TC showed lower level in the HRG groups than other groups. It was concluded that the 5 weeks of supplementation of HRG extract would have positive effects on liver cholesterol, and GRG and HRG + GB have a positive effect on exercise performance tested run to exhaustion time, but, we can not find a positive effect of supplementation of HRG on exercise performance.

몇가지 토양미생물제 처리가 근대의 수량과 식물체 및 토양의 화학성분, 그리고 미생물상에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 모든 미생물제 처리구에서 무처리에 비하여 수량이 증가하는 경향이 있었고, 특히 BLCS cattle dropping 처리구가 가장 높았다. 식물체의 화학성분에서는 모든 철구에서 Mg의 함량이 증가된 것을 제외하고 다른 성분들은 처리간에 차이가 없었고, 토양의 화학성분에서는 Tomi 처리구에서 K와 Mg의 함량이 높았으나, 다른 처리구에서는 차이가 없었다. 토양의 미생물상을 조사한 결과, 총세균수에서는 Tomi 처리구가 가장 높았고 Husk+Palma 처리구가 가장 높았고 Husk+Palma와 Tomi 처리구에서도 몹시 증가되었다. Actinomycetes와 fungi에서도 Tomi 처리구가 매우 증가하였으나, 다른 처리구간에는 차이가 없었고, pseudomonas에서도 각 처리간에 차이가 없었다.
