인삼모상근의 생장과 ginsenosides의 함량을 높이기 위하여 생장조절제가 첨가되지 않은 1/2 MS 배지에 jasmonic acid와 methyl jasmonate의 농도와 처리시기를 달리하여 인삼모상근 KGHR울 세포주를 배양하였다. 인삼모상근 생장은jasmonic acid와 methyl jasmonate 모두 1$\mu\textrm{m}$ 농도에서 가장 양호하였으며 30$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이상 농도가 증가할수록 모상근생장이 감소하였다. 그러나 생장이 낮았던 jasmonic acid 10$\mu\textrm{m}$ 처리구와 methyl jasmonate 50$\mu\textrm{m}$에서 ginsenosides 함량과 생산성이 더 높았다. 배양시기별로 jasmonic acid와 methyl jasmonate의 처리 효과는 jasmonic acid는 배양 후4주, methyl jasmonate는 3주에 처리하는 것이 ginsenosides의 함량과 생산성을 높이는데 효과적이었다.

생물반응기를 이용한 가시오갈피 부정근 배양시에 methyl jasmonate를 농도별 (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 및 80 ${\mu}M$)로 처리하여 부정근의 생장과 eleutheroside류 생산과의 관계를 조사하였다. Methyl jasmonate 처리농도별 부정근의 생장은 무처리구에서 5.4 g dry weight(DW)/L로 가장 높았으며 methyl jasmonate 농도가 증가할수록 부정근 생장은 감소하였다. 그러나 eleutheroside B의 함량은 methyl jasmonate 농도가 높을수록 증가하여 40 ${\mu}M$ 처리구에서 각각 359.9 ${\mu}g$/g DW로 생산량이 가장 많았다. 반면에 eleutheroside E와 $E_1$은 10 ${\mu}M$ 처리구에서 각각 798.1 ${\mu}g$/g DW, 19.7 ${\mu}g$/g DW로 생산량이 가장 많았다. 배지 1 L당 eleutheroside류의 총생산량은 10 ${\mu}M$ 처리구에서 3818.1 ${\mu}g$/L를 생산하여 가장 우수하였다. 20 ${\mu}M$의 methyl jasmonate 처리 후 15일간 eleutheroside류의 함량을 조사한 결과 eleutheroside B는 methyl jasmonate처리 후 12일째, eleutheroside E는 처리 후 3일째, eleutheroside $E_1$은 처리 후 9일째 각각 가장 많은 생산량을 보여 주었다.

Elicited cells with methyl jasmonate continued to produce benzophenanthridine alkaloids throughout medium changes in suspension cultures of Eschscholtzia californica. Large increases in alkaloid production were observed by re-elitations with medium changes. The total alkaloid production increased during the successive elicitation steps reaching a maximum level on the 4th elicitation. The highest total alkaloid produced was 250 mg/I, which was 20fold higher than that of the single elicitation and 4-fold higher than that of the normal culture without elicitation. The large increases in alkaloid production in successive re-elicitations with medium changes are believed to be caused by the accumulation of the signal transduction compound, jasmonate.

To develop systems for economic production of useful essential oil compounds, callus was induced from the seedlings of Agastache rugosa and cultured on MS medium. The volatile oil fraction was extracted from the callus and investigated by mean of GC-MS. The composition of the oil was compared with that of the mother plant. As a result, sixty five compounds including ferruginol were identified in the essential oil fraction. The main component of the oil from the leaves of Agastache rugosa was methyl chavichol (53.6%). Methyl jasmonate and jasmonic acid were added to the culturing cell suspension, separately and the composition of induced oil were compared. The oils from cultured cells treated with jasmonates showed considerably different patterns. Especially, the peak of estragole was found in callus oil after treatment with methyl jasmonate as though the amount was limited to 0.58%. In general, the TIC pattern of GC-MS of the callus oil became more similar to the oil from the leaves after elicitation.

더덕은 예로부터 약용으로 사용 되어 왔으며, 더덕의 뿌리에는 약용으로 가치가 높은 여러 종류의 triterpenoid 사포닌이 포함되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 더덕의 모상근 생육과 methyl jasmonate (MeJA)처리에 의한 사포닌 합성의 효과를 연구하였다. 더덕 모상근에 MeJA를 처리한 결과 주사포닌인 lancemaside A, B, E의 축적은 MeJA 무처리 모상근 보다 약 15% 정도 감소하였다. 반면 마이너사포닌(foetidissimoside A와 aster saponin Hb)의 함량은 무처리 모상근 보다 약15% 정도로 증가하였다. 이 결과를 통해 MeJA처리가 triterpene 사포닌의 생산조절을 위해 사용될 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is a signal molecule in the activation of defense responses in plants. In this study, we isolated 15 MeJA-inducible genes by subtractive hybridization. These genes encode two myrosinase-binding proteins, five lipase-like proteins, a polygalacturonase inhibitor, a putative chlorophyll-associated protein, a terpene synthase, a dehydroascorbate reductase, an ascorbate oxidase, a cysteine protease, an O-methyltransferase, and an epithiospecifier protein. Northern analysis showed that most of the Chinese cabbage genes are barely expressed in healthy leaves, but are strongly induced by MeJA treatment. We also examined whether these MeJA-inducible genes were activated by ethethon, BTH, and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst), a nonhost pathogen of Chinese cabbage. The results showed that none of the MeJA-inducible genes was strongly induced by ethephon or by BTH. The genes encoding lipase-like proteins and a myrosinase-binding protein were weakly induced by Pst. Other MeJA-inducible genes were not activated at all by the pathogen.

The effects of several compounds related to signal transduction cascade were determined to induce the production of alizarin and purpurin in the hairy root culture system of Rubia cordifolia var. pratensis. It was found that out of five tested compounds jasmonic acid(1 mg/l) and methyl jasmonate(1 mg/l) stimulated strongly the biosynthesis of the pigments while linolenic acid(1 mg/l) induced no significant increase of the product. Yeast extract(600 mg/l) and arachidonic acid(1 mg/l) showed relatively mild inducing effects on production of alizarin. The effects of jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate were reduced by treatment with cycloheximide(2.8 mg/l).

Effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on ethylene production in tomato(Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) hypocotyl segments and fruits were studied. Ethylene production in tomato hypocotyl segments was inhibited by the increasing concentratons of MeJA, and 450 $\mu$M of MeJA showed 50% inhibitory effect. Time course data indicate that this inhibitory effect of MeJA appeared after 3 h of incubation period and continued until 24 h. Inhibition of ethylene producton by MeJA was due to the decrease in 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid(ACC) synthase activity. However, MeJA treatment had no effect on ACC oxidase activity and the accumulaton of ACC oxidase mRNAs. MeJA also inhibited auxin-induced ethylene production by decreasing in ACC synthase activity. In contrast, MeJA stimulated ethylene production in tomato fruits. When 30 $\mu$L/mL MeJA was treated in a gaseous state, ethylene production doubled and this stimulating effect continued until 4 days. To investigate the mechanisms of MeJA on ethylene production, ACC synthase and ACC oxidase activities were examined after MeJA treatment. MeJA increased the activities of both ACC synthase and ACC oxidase, and induced ACC oxidase mRNA accumulation. These data suggest that MeJA plays distinct roles in the ethylene production in different tomato tissues. It is possible that MeJA affects differently the mechanisms of signal transuction leading to the ethylene biosynthesis.

Induction of HMG-Co A reductase (HMGR) is essential for the biosynthesis of sesquiterpenoid phytoalexins and steroid derivatives in Solanaceous plants following wounding and pathogen infection. To better understand this complex step in stress-responsive isoprenoid synthesis, three classes of cDNAs for HMGR (hmg1, hmg2, and hmg3) were isolated from a potato tuber library. The potato cDNAs had extensive homology in open reading frames but had low homology in the 3'-untranslated regions. RNA gel blot analysis using gene-specific probes revealed that hmg1 is induced by wounding but wound induction is strongly suppressed by arachidonic acid or by inoculation with Phytophthora infestants. In contrast, hmg2 and hmg3 are slightly induced by wounding and strongly enhanced by arachidonic acid or inoculation. The induction and suppression of HMGR genes parallel the suppression of steroid and stimulation of sesquiterpenoid accumulations observed in earlier investigations. Treatment of the tuber disks with a low concentration of methyl-jasmonate doubled the wound induced accumulation of hmg1 transcripts and steroid-glycoalkaloid accumulation, but did not affect the abundance of transcripts for hmg2 or hmg3 nor induce phytoalexins. High concentration of methyl-jasmonate suppressed hmg1 mRNA and steroid-glycoalkaloid accumulation, induced hmg3 mRNA, and did not elicit phytoalexins. Lipoxygenase inhibitors suppressed the accumulation of of hmg1 transcripts and steroid-glycoalkaloids, which were restored by exogeneous methyl-jasmonate. Methyl-jasmonate applied together with arachidonic acid enhanced the elicitor induced accumulation of sesquiterpenes and sustained steroid-glycoalkaloid levels with transcript levels for the various HMGR mRNAs equal to or greater than wound-only treatment. These results domonstrate that the consequences of wound- and pathogen-responses of plants are different at the levels of gene expression and associated secondary metabolism.
