Blast disease caused by the fungal pathogen, Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most damaging diseases in rice. The use of resistant varieties is an effective measure to control the disease, however, many resistant varieties were broken down to their resistance effects by the differentiating of new virulent isolates. This study was done to analyze the haplotypes of 31 microsatellite markers linked to five major R genes and two QTLs and to identify the alleles for the putatively novel genes related to durable resistance to blast in 56 Korean japonica and four indica varieties. The 31 microsatellite markers produced 2 to 13 alleles(mean = 5.4) and had PICi values ranging from 0.065 to 0.860(mean=0.563) among the 60 rice accessions. Cluster analysis based on allele diversities of 31 microsatellite markers grouped into 60 haplotypes and ten major clusters in 0.810 genetic similarity. A subcluster IV-1 grouped of early flowering varieties harboring Piz and/or Pi9(t) on chromosome 6 and Pita/Pita-2 gene on chromosome 12. The other subcluster V-1 consisted of four stable resistance varieties Donghae, Seomjin, Palgong and Milyang20. The analysis of putative QTLs associated with seven blast resistance genes using ANOVA and linear regression showed high significance to blast resistance across regions and isolates in the markers of two genes Piz and/or Pi9(t) and Pita/Pita-2. These results illustrate the utility of microsatellite markers to identify rice varieties is likely carrying the same R genes and QTLs and rice lines with potentially novel resistant gene.

Root and stem rot caused by Phytophthora palmivora is one of the most serious diseases affecting durian production in Thailand where metalaxyl, an effective fungicide against oomycetes, has been used extensively for a long period to control this disease. Although field isolates of P. palmivora resistant to metalaxyl exist in Thailand, a molecular basis for P. palmivora has not yet been elucidated regarding metalaxyl resistance. The current study tested whether P. palmivora RPA1 (the DNA-directed RNA polymerase I subunit gene), a homolog gene of RPA190 associated with metalaxyl resistance in some isolates of Phytophthora infestans, had a role in the resistance mechanism toward metalaxyl. In total, 40 durian-derived isolates of P. palmivora were assessed for metalaxyl sensitivity using a mycelial growth inhibition assay. The effective concentrations for 50% mycelial growth inhibition values for all isolates tested were in the range 0.01-872.88 mg/L. The isolates were clustered into three groups: sensitive (n=23), moderately resistant (n=11), and resistant (n=6) groups. No polymorphism was revealed based on multiple alignment analysis of the amino acid sequences translated from the corresponding DNA sequences in the region of RPA1 of the metalaxyl-sensitive (n=5), moderately resistant (n=2), and resistant isolates (n=6). Furthermore, investigation of the RPA1 expression among these representative isolates (n=3, each group) indicated that RPA1 expression may not be involved in the regulation of P. palmivora resistance to metalaxyl. Based on this line of evidence, there was no detected relationship regarding metalaxyl resistance and P. palmivora RPA1.

연구배경 : 종양괴사인자(tumor necrosis factor ; TNF)는 다양한 생물학적 기능을 가지고 있는바, 그 중 생체외에서 증명된 뚜렷한 항암효과로 말미암아 최근 항암유전자요법의 중요한 대상으로 관심을 모으고 있다. 그러나 유전자 이입의 기술적 문제로 생체외에서 암세포에 유전자 이입을 시행한 후 이를 다시 환자의 생체내로 이식하는 방법이 연구의 주종을 이루고 있다. 그러나 저지들의 과거의 연구를 포함한 여러 연구에서 TNF가 이입된 암세포는 TNF에 대해 내성을 보이는 것으로 증명되었다. 이 획득내성의 기전을 밝히는 것이 종양생물학의 이해를 넓히고 보다 효과적인 항암유전자 요법을 개발하기 위한 매우 중요한 과제로 생각된다. 저자들은 TNF 유전자 이입에 따른 암세포의 TNF에 대한 획득 내성에 새로운 방어단백질의 합성이 관여하는 지를 규명하고자 본 실험을 수행하였다. 방 법 : TNF에 감수성을 보이는 생쥐 섬유육종 세포주인 WEHI164에 TNF-$\alpha$ 유전자를 retroviral vector를 이용하여 이입하고 TNF의 발현을 시도하여 PCR, ELISA, MTT assay로 확인하였고, TNF 유전자가 이입된 세포(WEHI164-TNF)는 TNF에 내성을 보이는지 역시 MTT assay로 검증하였다. WEHI164-TNF세포를 transcription 억제제인 actinomycin D와 translation 억제제인 cycloheximide로 처리한 후 역시 MTT assay로 TNF에 대한 감수성에 변화를 보이는지 확인하였다. 결 과 : 1) TNF-$\alpha$ 유전자 이업 및 발현 확인 PCR을 시행한 결과 TNF 유전자가 이입된 WEHI164-TNF 세포주는 790 base pair 크기의 진한 DNA band를 보인 반면 모세포주는 보이지 않아서 retroviral vector를 이용한 유전자 이입이 DNA 수준에서 이루어졌음을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 WEHI164-TNF의 배양상층액에서 TNF양을 ELISA와 MTT assay로 측정한 결과, 생물학적 활성을 지닌 TNF를 $10.9{\pm}1.47ng/24hr/10^6cells$ 생산함을 알 수 있었다. 2) TNF 유전자 이입 전후, 암세포의 TNF에 대한 감수성 비교 TNF 농도 100ng/ml 에서 모세포는 $73{\pm}5%$의 세포독성을 보인 반면 WEHI164-TNF 세포는 $3{\pm}2%$의 세포독성을 보여 통계적으로 유의하게 (p < 0.00) TNF에 대한 내성을 획득함을 알 수 있었다. 3) TNF 유전자 이입 후 획득된 TNF에 대한 내성의 기전 WEHI164-TNF 세포를 actinomycin D로 처리한 경우 TNF 농도 10ng/ml과 100ng/ml에서 각각 $24{\pm}7%$, $44{\pm}6%$의 세포독성을 보여 control의 $6{\pm}2%$, $17{\pm}2%$보다 통계적으로 유의하게(p < 0.01) TNF에 대한 감수성이 부분적으로 회복됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 cycloheximide로 처리한 경우에서는 TNF에 대한 감수성에 변화를 관찰할 수 없었다. 결 론 : TNF에 감수성을 보이는 암세포주인 WEHI164에 TNF 유전자를 이입하여 TNF를 발현하게 하였을 때 그 세포 자신은 TNF에 대해 내성을 획득하게되며 이에는 미지의 방어단백질의 합성이 일부 관여할 것으로 판단된다.

Inheritance pattern of resistance to Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) was studied in an Indian silkworm stock TX by single back-cross test method. The resistant parent ［TX］, susceptible parent ［HM］, their Fl, F2, and Fl progeny back-crossed to TX [BC(R)] and HM [BC(S)] were inoculated per os with a fixed concentration of BmNPV($0.5{\times}10^{th} PIB/ml$) on the first day of second stadium. The cumulative mortality was recorded until day $10^{\times}$ post-inoculation. The results show that the resistance to BmNPV in TX fellow mono Mendelian inheritance pattern. The resistance dominated over the susceptibility at Fl. At F2, the resistant and susceptible offspring segregated in 3:1 ratio whereas at BC(S), the resistant and susceptible offspring segregated in 1:1 ratio. The response of BC(R) was more or less like the resistant parent TX which confirms the involvement of a major dominant gene conferring resistance to BmNPV in TX. The possible mechanism of inheritance of resistance in TX is discussed.

Fifty-two Korean japonica rice cultivars were analyzed for leaf blast resistance and genotyped with 4 STS and 26 SSR markers flanking the specific chromosome sites linked with blast resistance genes. In our analysis of resistance genes in 52 japonica cultivars using STS markers tightly linked to Pib, Pita, Pi5(t) and Pi9(t), the blast nursery reaction of the cultivars possessing the each four major genes were not identical to that of the differential lines. Eight of the 26 SSR markers were associated with resistant phenotypes against the isolates of blast nursery as well as the specific Korean blast isolates, 90-008 (KI-1113), 03-177 (KJ-105). These markers were linked to Pit, Pish, Pib, Pi5(t), Piz, Pia, Pik, Pi18, Pita and Pi25(t) resistance gene loci. Three of the eight SSR markers, MRG5836, RM224 and RM7102 only showed significantly associated with the phenotypes of blast nursery test for two consecutive years. These three SSR markers also could distinguish between resistant and susceptible japonica cultivars. These results demonstrate the usefulness of marker-assisted selection and genotypic monitoring for blast resistance of rice in blast breeding programs.

For transformation of Pleurotus ostreatus, two novel vectors, pPhKM1 and pPhKM2, were constructed, using the regulatory sequences of the P. sajor-caju $\beta$-tubulin gene(TUB1) and the ble gene encoding phleomycin binding protein. pPhKM1 contains ble fused to the TUB1 promoter and the Schizophyllum commune GPD terminator. pPhKM2 contains ble fused to the promoter and terminator regions of P. sajor-caju TUB1. To confirm phleomycin-resistance activity, each vector was cotrans-formed with pTRura3-2 into the P. ostreatus homokaryotic $ura^-$ strain. The transforming DNA was stably integrated into the genomic DNA. Subsequently, phleomycin resistance was conferred on wild-type dikaryotic P. ostreatus by transformation with pPhKM1 or pPhKM2. This transformation system generated stable phleomycin-resistant transformants.

A genetic map of the IncP-1 group plasmid pKU10 has been prepared through the construction of recombinant plasmids containing various fragments of pKU10. Phenotypic analysis of these derivatives has identified the location of genes encoding resistance to ampicillin, tetracyclin, and chloramphenicol. The region involved in conferring resistance to ampicillin was located around two PstI sites that are 1.0Kb apart. The tetracyclin resistance gene was mapped on the region of HindIII E fragment and a part of HindIII D fragment, and the determinant for chloramphenicol resistance gene was localized on HindIII D fragment.

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 $0.1\%-0.3\%$.
