The objective of this study was to identify the major parameters controlling DNA delivery by particle bombardment to immature embryos of Chinese spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Efficiency of DNA (uidA gene) delivery was assessed by transient GUS (${\beta}$-glucuronidase) expression in bombarded tissues. Of the parameters analyzed, acceleration pressure, bombardment distance, chamber vacuum pressure, bombardment times, osmotic conditioning of culture had a remarkable influence on transient gene expression. A bombardment procedure suitable for Chinese spring wheat cultivars was developed which allowed high-efficiency DNA delivery combined with reduced damage to target tissues. The high efficiency made the system practical for wheat genetic transformation research and accelerating wheat breeding programs.

형질전환 효율을 높이기 위하여, NPTII와 GUS유전자를 포함하고 있는 pIG121Hm을 미세 입자에 코팅하여 particle bombardment를 수행한 후 pIG121Hm가 도입된 Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA101와 3일간 공동 배양하였다. 그 후 캘러스를 1mg/L 2,4-D, 0.1mg/L BAP, 100mg/L kanamycin, 그리고 200mg/L carbenicillin이 포함된 MS배지로 옮겨 4주간 성장시킨 후 kanamycin저항성 캘러스를 선발하여 GUS 발현을 관찰하였고, PCR 분석을 통하여 700 bp의 NPT II 유전자가 도입된 것을 확인하였다. Particle bombardment 후 Agrobacterium과 공동배양 한 처리구가 Agrobacterium과 공동배양만 한 처리구보다 GUS발현 분석에 의한 형질전환 효율이 3배정도 더 높았다 형질전환 된 재분화 식물체를 얻기위해 다시 선발된 kanamycin저항성 캘러스는 1mg/L NAA와 1mg/L BAP가 포함된 재분화 배지에 옮겨져 4주 후 형질전환 된 소인경을 형성하였다.

상추에 particle bombardment를 이용한 배추 Glutathione Reductase (GR)유전자의 형질전환효율 향상 및 형질전환체의 유전분석에 관한 실험을 수행하여 얻은 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. Particle bombardment 이용시 사출 전 4시간, 사출 후 16시간 동안 삼투조절제인 0.6M serbitolfmannitol 을 처리하여 형질전환시킨 상추 자엽조직에서 GUS 반응 spot이 가장 많았다. 0.3, 0.6, 1.5 kbp로 나타나는 3가지 종류의 primer를 사용하여 PCR한 결과 각각의 primer에 homology를 타나내는 band를 확인하여 355 promoter와 BcGRl유전자가 삽입이 된 것을 확인하였다. 형질전환된 상추의 자식 종자를 채종하여 kanamycin 200mg/L이 첨가된 MS배지에 파종하여 형질전환시키지 않은 상추의 자식 종자와 비교해 본 결과, 형질전환된 상추의 종자에서 발아된 유묘의 약 70%정도가 kanamycin에 대해 내성을 나타내었다.

다양한 Zoysiagrass 4가지 품종들을 식물재료로 사용하여 Agrobacterium만 이용한 방법 그리고 particle bombardment로 배발생캘러스에 상처를 낸 후, Agrobacterium으로 공동배양 시키는 2가지 다른 형질전환 방법을 비교하였다. 예비실험에서 일반적으로 형질전환에 널리 사용되는 kanamycin과 PPT(phospinitricin)의 적적선발농도에 대해서 실험하였는데, kanamycin의 경우 300mg/l 그리고 PPT의 경위 50mg/l의 농도에서 가장 효과적인 선발 효율을 나타내었다. Agrobacterium을 이용한 형질전환은 Agrobacterium을 2일간 배양시킨 다음, 박테리아 농도를 O.D 600nm=1.0-1.2로 맞추고, 배발생캘러스를 30분간 간염 시키는 방법이 효과적이었는데, particle bombardment를 이용하여 캘러스에 상처를 유발시킨 후, Agrobacterium으로 감염시키면 3배 이상 높은 형질전환 수율을 획득할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과는 한국잔디 형질전환에 있어서 particle bombardment과 Agrobacterium을 병행하여 실시한 최초의 보고이고, 이러한 시스템을 기반으로 하여 향후 한국잔디를 포함하여 다른 난지형 및 한지형 잔디의 품종개량에 널리 이용되리라 생각된다.

제초제 저항성 유전자를 코팅시킨 입자를 particle bombardment 기법으로 자주감자 품종의 인공씨감자에 도입시켰다. 발아직전에 있는 인공씨감자의 생장점 부위를 집중적으로 particle bombardment 한 후 발아한 인공씨감자를 온실에 심었다. 온실에서 5주동안 생육시킨 후 northern 분석결과 유전자가 발현된 2개의 형질전환체를 선발하였고 제초제 살포 실험을 한 결과 형질전환 되지않은 식물체는 모두 고사하였지만 형질전환된 2개의 자주감자 식물체는 생존하였다.

We optimized the biological and physical parameters for DNA delivery into thalli of the red alga Porphyra yezoensis using a particle bombardment device. The efficiency of transformation was determined using the ${\beta}-glucuronidase$ (GUS) assay. The optimal helium pressure, distance of tungsten particle flight, and ratio of DNA to tungsten particles were $23kgf/cm^2$, 8 cm, and $5{\mu}g/mg$ tungsten, respectively. During bombardment, osmotic treatment with a mixture of 0.6 M mannitol and sorbitol increased the efficiency of GUS transformation. After 2 days, the blue color indicating GUS activity was observed using a histochemical assay.

Transgenic zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica cv. Zenith) plants have been obtained by particle bombardment of embryogenic callus with the plasmid pSMABuba, which contains hygromycin resistance (hpt) and bialaphos resistance (bar) genes. Parameters on DNA delivery efficiency of the particle bombardment were partially optimized using transient expression assay of a chimeric $\beta-glucuronidase$(gusA) gene driven by the CaMV 35S promoter. Stably transfarmed zoysiagrass plants were recovered with a selection scheme using hygromycin. Transgenic zoysiagrass plants were confirmed by PCR analysis with specific primer for bar gene. Expression of the transgene in transformed zoysiagrass plants was demonstrated by Reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR analysis. All the tested transgenic plants showed herbicide BastaR resistance at the field application rate of $0.1\%-0.3\%$.

Callus formation and plant regeneration from the seeds of zoysiagrass cv. Zenith was tested on MS basal medium supplemented with various concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2,4-D) and of several cytokinins. A concentration of 1mg/L 2,4-D on medium stimulated callus formation. In the presence of 5mg/L 2,4-D, addition of 1mg/L kinetin significantly enhanced callus formation and plant regeneration over 2,4-D alone. To transfer foreign DNA into turfgrass, parameters for the bombardment of embryogenic callus with the particle bombardment were partially optimized using transient expression assay of a $chimeric \beta$-glucuronidase(GUS) gene driven by the CaMV 35S promoter. GUS gene was strongly expressed at helium pressure 1,100 psi and 6~9cm target distance.

For establishing a transformation system of rice, an efficient introduction of foreign genes into embryogenic cell suspension by particle bombardment was conducted. The particle inflow gun based on the acceleration of DNA-coated tungsten particles using pressurized helium was constructed for delivery of DNA into rice cells. Several bombardment parameters were optimized using the transient expression of GUS gene. The conditions that gave the highest GUS gene expression of about 1000 blue spots per g fresh weight of bombarded cells include treatment of the cells with 0.5 M osmotic pressure, and use of the 410 kPa helium, 110 mm target distance, 13 mm syringe filter holder and 5 $\mu$L DNA/tungsten mixtures. It was also confirmed that rice actin promoter-intron construct gave the highest expression of all promoter-sequences studied. Eight weeks after the bombardment, stably transformed calluses were obtained on the selection medium containing 100 mg/L G418 and showed the strong activity in in situ GUS assay.

In this study, we chronicle the establishment of a novel transformation system for the unicellular marine green alga, Dunaliella salina. We introduced the CaMV35S promoter-GUS construct into D. salina with a PDS1000/He micro-particle bombardment system. Forty eight h after transformation, via histochemical staining, we observed the transient expression of GUS in D. salina cells which had been bombarded under rupture-disc pressures of 450 psi and 900 psi. We observed no GUS activity in either the negative or the blank controls. Our findings indicated that the micro-particle bombardment method constituted a feasible approach to the genetic transformation of D. salina. We also conducted tests of the cells' sensitivity to seven antibiotics and one herbicide, and our results suggested that 20 ${\mu}g$/ ml of Basta could inhibit cell growth completely. The bar gene, which encodes for phosphinothricin acetyltransferase and confers herbicide tolerance, was introduced into the cells via the above established method. The results of PCR and PCR-Southern blot analyses indicated that the gene was successfully integrated into the genome of the transformants.
