Plants are frequently exposed to numerous environmental stresses such as dehydration and high salinity, and have developed elaborate mechanisms to counteract the deleterious effects of stress. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a critical role as an integrator of plant responses to water-limited condition to activate ABA signal transduction pathway. Although perception of ABA has been suggested to be important, the function of each ABA receptor remains elusive in dehydration condition. Here, we show that ABA receptor, pyrabactin resistance-like protein 8 (PYL8), functions in dehydration conditions. Transgenic plants overexpressing PYL8 exhibited hypersensitive phenotype to ABA in seed germination, seedling growth and establishment. We found that hypersensitivity to ABA of transgenic plants results in high degrees of stomatal closure in response to ABA leading to low transpiration rates and ultimately more vulnerable to drought than the wild-type plants. In addition, high expression of ABA maker genes also contributes to altered drought tolerance phenotype. Overall, this work emphasizes the importance of ABA signaling by ABA receptor in stomata during defense response to drought stress.

The core components of ABA-dependent gene expression signaling have been identified in Arabidopsis and rice. This signaling pathway consists of four major components; group A OsbZIPs, SAPKs, subclass A OsPP2Cs and OsPYL/RCARs in rice. These might be able to make thousands of combinations through interaction networks resulting in diverse signaling responses. We tried to characterize those gene functions using transient gene expression for rice protoplasts (TGERP) because it is instantaneous and convenient system. Firstly, in order to monitor the ABA signaling output, we developed reporter system named pRab16A-fLUC which consists of Rab16A promoter of rice and luciferase gene. It responses more rapidly and sensitively to ABA than pABRC3-fLUC that consists of ABRC3 of HVA1 promoter in TGERP. We screened the reporter responses for over-expression of each signaling components from group A OsbZIPs to OsPYL/RCARs with or without ABA in TGERP. OsbZIP46 induced reporter most strongly among OsbZIPs tested in the presence of ABA. SAPKs could activate the OsbZIP46 even in the ABA independence. Subclass A OsPP2C6 and -8 almost completely inhibited the OsbZIP46 activity in the different degree through the SAPK9. Lastly, OsPYL/RCAR2 and -5 rescued the OsbZIP46 activity in the presence of SAPK9 and OsPP2C6 dependent on ABA concentration and expression level. By using TGERP, we could characterize successfully the effects of ABA dependent gene expression signaling components in rice. In conclusion, TGERP represents very useful technology to study systemic functional genomics in rice or other monocots.

본 연구에서는 유채 두 계통에 0℃ 이하의 저온 스트레스를 처리하고 이에 따른 proline 함량 및 생존율 변화를 확인하고 이에 따른 저온에서의 유전자 발현 변화를 비교 분석하기 위해 수행되었으며, 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 0℃ 이하의 저온 스트레스 처리 전 저온 순화 후 유채 'J8634-B-30' 계통에서 proline 함량이 2.02 mM/g FW로 증가하여 처리 전보다 8.7배 증가하였으며, 'EMS26' 계통에서는 0℃ 이하의 저온 스트레스 처리로 인한 proline 함량 변화를 보이지 않았다. 2. 저온 순화 전후 유채 두 계통의 전사체를 분석한 결과, 'J8634-B-30' 계통의 DEG는 발현이 유도된 DEG가 2,784개로, 발현이 억제된 DEG 2,299개보다 많았으며, 'EMS 26' 계통에서는 발현이 유도된 DEG가 2,199개로 발현이 억제된 DEG 3,632개로 적었다. 3. 저온 스트레스 처리에 의한 유채 두 계통의 상위 100개 DEG를 분석한 결과, 'J8634-B-30' 계통에서는 flowering-promoting factor (BnaA10g21640D) 유전자가 강하게 발현되었으며, 특히 proline 생합성 관련 유전자의 발현이 강하게 유도되었다. 'EMS26' 계통의 DEG에서는 식물체 생장과 관련된 유전자가 발현이 억제되었다. 4. 'J8634-B-30' 계통에서는 proline 생합성 관련 P5CSA(BnaA04g22810D, BnaC04g46630D) 유전자의 발현이 유도되었으며, proline 이화작용 관련 PDH (BnaAnng 37880D, BnaC04g31100D) 유전자 발현이 억제되어, 저온 처리에 의한 proline 함량 이 증가한 것으로 판단된다. 5. 저온 반응 관련 생리반응 경로 유전자 중 ABA 호르몬 수용체 PYL5 (BnaAnng40650D), PYL9 (BnaA07g38130D, BnaC06g17940D)는 'J8634-B-30' 계통에서만 발현이 유도되었다. 또한, ICE-CBF-COR 신호 회로 중 원형질막 안정화에 관여하는 COR413 유전자(BnaA08g15470D, BnaC03g61740D)에서도 'J8634-B-30' 계통에서만 발현이 유도되었다. 6. 이러한 저온 스트레스 반응과 관련된 유전자 발현 차이는 초기 저온 처리 후 두 유채 계통의 스트레스 반응에 관여했을 것으로 판단되며, 특이적인 발현 양상을 보인 유전자에 대해 향후 추가적인 기능을 분석하여 내동성 유채 품종 개발에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A series of pH/temperature sensitive polymers were synthesized by copolymerizing N-isopro-pyl acrylamide(NIPAAm) and acrylic acid(AAc) . The influence of polyelectrolyte between poly(allyl amine) (PAA) and poly(L-lysine)(PLL) on the lower critical solution temperature(LCST) of pH/temperature sensitive polymer was compared in the range of pH 2∼12. The LCST of PNIPAAm/water in aqueous poly(NIPAAm-co-AAc) solution was determined by cloud point measurements. A polyelectrolyte complex was prepared by mixing poly(NIPAAm-co-AAc) with poly(allyl amine) (PAA) or poly(L-lysine) (PLL) solutions as anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes, respectively. The effect of polyelectrolyte complex formation on the conformation of PLL was studied as a function of temperature by means of circular dichroism(CD). The cloud points of PNIPAAm in the aqueous copolymers solutions were stongly affected by pH, the presence of polyelectrolyte solute, AAc content, and charge density. The polyelectrolyte complex was formed at neutral condition. The influence of more hydrophobic PLL as a polyelectrolyte on the cloud point of PNIPAAm in the aqueous copolymer solution was stronger than that of poly(allyl amine)(PAA). Although polymer-polymer complex was formed between poly(NIPAAm-co-AAc) and PLL, the conformational change of PLL did not occur due to steric hinderance of bulky N-isopropyl groups of PNIPAAm.

In order to confirm whether acquired immunity or resistance can be developed by the repeated hookworm infections, the 150 mature actively moving filariform ancylostoma duodenale larvae obtained from the severe hookworm anemia patients were orally given to 8 healthy volunteers in three divided doses, 50 in each, at 5 day interval. Also the hematological changes as well as several ferrokinetics using $^{59}Fe$ were done and were compared with 10 controls. The clinical symptoms and signs were checked every day for the first 3 weeks and then twice weekly until the end of the experiment. The appearance of the ova in the stool was examined by the formalin ether method and the ova was counted by the Stoll's method. The following laboratory tests were done: 1) Red blood cell count, venous blood hematocrit(micromethod), hemoglobin count (cyanomethemoglobin method) were checked every 5 to 7 day interval. 2) Plasma iron concentration (Barkan's modified method) was determined every 2 to 3 week interval. 3) Radioisotope studies: a) Ferrokinetics: Huff et al and Bothwell's method were applied. Erythropoietic Index (% of normal)=$\frac{Subject's\;turnover/100ml\;whole\;blood{\times}100}{Average\;normal\;turnover/100ml\;whole\;blood}$ of the gastrointestinal absorption of iron: Radioiron($^{59}Fe$) balance b) Quantitative measurement method was applied. c) Determination of the plasma erythropoietin activity: Fried's method was applied. Following were the results: 1) The serum iron level was lower. The red cell volume was decreased, but with relative increase of plasma volume. 2) The plasma iron disappearance time was accelerated and the plasma iron turnover rate was decreased. The red cell iron turnover rate was markedly increased, while all of the red cell iron concentration, circulating red cell iron. plasma iron pool were decreased. The daily iron pool turnover and red cell renewal rate were increased. 3) The erythropoietic index, erythropoietin activity and intestinal absorption of iron($^{59}Fe$) were markedly increased. 4) The infectivity was $9.8{\pm}1.31%$ which was lower than that observed in the single infection. 5) From these observations, it is concluded that the hookworm anemia is essentially iron deficieny in its origin and some immunity acquisition is possible with repeated infections.
