To produce transgenic cucumber expressing Nit gene coffering abiotic resistance, the cotyledonary-node explants of cucumber (cv. Eunsung) were inoculated with A. tumefaciens transformed with pPZP211 or pCAMBIA2300 carrying Nit gene, that has cis-acting element involved in resistance to various abiotic environmental stresses. After co-cultivation, the procedures of selection, shoot initiation, shoot elongation, and plant regeneration were followed by cotyledonary-node transformation method (CTM, Jang et al. 2011). The putative transgenic plants were selected when shoots were grown to a length greater than 3 cm from the cotyledonary-node explants on selection medium supplemented with 100 mg/L paromomycin as a selectable agent. The confirmation of transgenic cucumber was based on the genomic PCR, Southern blot analysis, RT-PCR, and Northern blot analysis. A 105 shoots (4.12%) selected from the selection mediums were obtained from 2,547 explants inoculated. Of them, putative transgenic plants were only confirmed with 45 plants (1.77%) by genomic PCR analysis. Transgenic plants showed that the Nit genes integrated into each genome of 39 plants (1.53%) by Southern blot analysis, and the expression of gene integrated into cucumber genome was only confirmed at 6 plants (0.24%) by RT-PCR and Northern blot analysis. These results lead us to speculate that the genes were successfully integrated and expressed in each genome of transgenic cucumber.

Bet A and Bet B genes related to salt resistance were introduced into Lycium chinense through high efficiencies of plant regeneration. The explants were precultured on the shooting medium which is consisted of MS medium added 1mg/L kinetin and 0.05mg/L IBA for 2 days. After pre-culture, they were immersed in LB media containing Agrobacteria tumefaciens harboring Bet genes, and cultured on the same medium. Putative transformants could be selected after cocultivation of the explants with Agrobacteria on the shooting medium supplemented with 30mg/L kanamycin. The presence of both Bet A and Bet B genes from the transgenic plants were confirmed by PCR amplification with the gene specific primers and subsequent PCR-Southern blot with labeled Bet genes probe. The expression of Bet A and Bet B genes in the transgenic plants were observed by RT-PCR method.

In order to improve phosphate use efficiency of rice using phosphate transporter (PT), transgenic rice plants containing a tobacco PT gene were developed. Calli from Dongjinbyeo (Oryza sativa L.) were cocultured with A. tumefaciens LBA 4404 harboring PT gene. Multiplied calli were transferred to MS medium supplemented with 50 mg/L hygromycin, 500 mg/L carbenicillin, 2 mg/L kinetin, 0.1 mg/L NAA. After 2 weeks, hygromycin resistant shoots were obtained from the calli on the selection medium. The putative transgenic shoots were transferred to rooting MS medium supplemented with 250 mg/L cabenicillin. Plant regeneration rate from the calli was about 52%. Stable incorporation of the tobacco PT gene into rice genomic DNA was confirmed by PCR and Southern blot analysis.

This study was conducted to obtain the transformed tobacco (Nicotiana tubacum) plants with cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase gene(ApxSC7) using Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404. A cDNA encoding the cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase of strawberry, ApxSC7, was introduced into tobacco plants via Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer system. The expression vector, pIG-AP8, harboring ApxSC7 gene was used for production of transgenic tobacco plants. A large number of transgenic plants were regenerated on a medium containing hygromycin. Integration of ApxSC7 gene was confirmed by PCR and Southern blot analyses with genomic DNA. Northern blot analyses revealed that the pIGap8 gene was constitutively expressed.

To develop transgenic orchardgrass resistant to reactive oxygen species produced from environmental stresses, a vector with the cytosolic glutathione reductase cDNA (BcGRl) from Chinese cabbage was constructed under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter and was introduced into orchardgrass using Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA101. Transgenic plants from hygromycin-selected calli of orchardgrass did not show any morphological difference from wild-type plants. The results of PCR amplification and genomic Southern blot analysis confirmed the integration of foreign gene into the chromosome of transgenic orchardgrass. Northern blot analysis with total RNA from leaves also confirmed the constitutive expression of BcGR1 in transgenic orchardgrass.

In order to evaluate the availability of lacZ as a reporter gene for producing transgenic mud loach, foreign DNA, bacterial \beta-galactosidase$ gene (lacZ) was microinjected into mud loach eggs and its insertion and expression were examined. X-gal based histochemical assay, fluorimetric analysis of \beta-galactosidase$ with 4-methylumbelliferyl-$\beta$-D-galactoside (MUG) and molecular biological examination using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), dot blot, southern blot and sequence analysis of PCR products were carried out to analyze both microinjected group and non-injected controls. The results are disccussed in this paper.

Four separate pairs of oligonucleotide primers within the coding region in a T sergenti 33-kDa surface protein gene were selected to detect T. sergenti by PCR. The specificity of PCR-amplified DNA was examined by digestion with restriction enzyme 3nd Southern blot hybridization using T. sergenti p33 DNA probe. PCR appears to be specific for T. sergenti, without detectable signals from uninfected erythrocytes, uninfected bovine leukocytes and other hemoparasites, including A. morginnle and 3. ouata. Although 46 of 71 specimens (64.8%) from grazing cattle were microscopically positive. PCR in this study showed that 64 specimens (88.7%) were positive. Therefore, PCR proves a useful diagnostic tool for detecting T sergenti-infected cattle. In addition, it is also revealed that PCR was significantly more sensitive than traditional microscopic examination using Giemsa's stain.

3.3kb 웅성특이 DNA(pEM39 plasmid DNA)가 성 특이 DNA 검색자로 활용되어질 수 있는가를 확인하기 위하여 구조적인 분석을 Southern blotting, DNA sequencing과 computer program 분석을 통하여 실시하였다. 전체 3.3kb에서 유래된 약 1kb 단위의 단편을 이용하여 표지된 짧은 DNA probe들은 Southern blot 분석에서 웅성특이성을 나타내었다. McGraw와 Jeon의 sequence에 대한 유사성 비교 자료로부터 여러 부분의 conserved region을 찾아내고 이것을 기초로 하여 5개의 primer set들을 선발하였다. Conserved region에 존재하면서 computer program에 의해서 선발되어진 PMS1과 2의 primer set가 최종적으로 PCR 분석을 위하여 선정되었다. 이 primer set를 사용한 PCR 분석에서, 1ng부터 10pg까지의 웅성 genomic DNA에서 PCR 산물을 얻을 수 있었으며, 자성의 경우는 어떠한 산물도 찾을 수 없었다. PCR에 이용할 수정란의 시료는 2 세포기의 수정란에서 얻었으며 순수 분리된 genomic DNA에서 확립된 조건에서 PCR을 수행하였다. 8개의 수정란을 분석한 결과 4개의 웅성과 4개의 자성 수정란을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 선정된 primer set가 돼지 수정란의 성을 조기 감별하는데 효율적인 DNA probe로 사용될 수 있다는 것을 암시한다.

For the gene tagging of Armoracia rusticana, maize controlling element Ac and Ds were introduced into A.rusticana via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method. We established an efficient in via regeneration and transformation system for gene transfer in A. rusticana. The optimum in via regeneration condition has been obtained from leaf, petiole and root organs on modified MS medium supplemented with NAA 0.1 mg/L plus BA 1.0 mg/L for direct shooting and with free growth regulators for root induction for transformation, the leaf, petiole and root explants of A. rusticana were concultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, LBA4404 which carries a binary vector pEND4K containing maize controlling element Ac or Ds, respectively: Selections were performed in the shoot induction medium supplemented with 100 mg/L kanamycin, and 500 mg/L carbenicillin transformation frequency showed about 8 to 10% in case of leaf disks. PCR md Southern blot analyses showed that the Ac and the Ds elements were integrated into the chromosome of donor plants.

Tobacco transformants harboring cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase gene (C4H) fused with susquiterpene cyclase promoter was developed in order to regulate biosynthesis of phenolic compounds by the expression of the introduced gene. Twenty transformants for each specific promoter were used to analyze the incorporation of the chimeric genes by PCR and Southern blot analysis. PCR products of NPTII(neomycin phosphotransferase) gene (553bp) were detected in the transgenic tobacco plants. The incorporation of the chimeric gene was confirmed in the Southern blot analysis. C4H activity in the transgenic plants was elevated by UV-irradiation and its level was higher compared to that of control plants.
