  • The coat protein mediated resistance to potato virus Y is assessed here in transgenic potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L., cv Claustar). Therefore, the corresponding cDNA from tunisian isolate of the virus was cloned into Agrobacterium tumefaciens binary vector. The transgenic lines were subsequently analysed for the presence and expression of the transgene. The CP cDNA copy number was determined for kanamycin resistant plants. Three selected transgenic lines and their S1 progeny resulting from tuber germination showed a high protection level against the virus. These data appear to support the hypothesis that the virus resistance is mediated by the translated viral coat protein expressed in transgenic potato lines.

  • Factors affecting thermostability of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from potato were studied for the purpose of providing useful information for food processing operations. The enzyme was most stable at pH 7.0 and it was inhibited to 70% after heat treatment at 8$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 min. The z-value for the thermal inactivation of the PPO was 12.17$\pm$0.58$^{\circ}C$. The thermostability of the enzyme was reduced by addition of sodium chloride. And the activity was inhibited by addition of reducing reagents such as 2-mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol.

  • Two maize transposable elements, immobilized Ac (iAc) and Ds, have been introduced into the genome of a diploid potato clone (Solanum tuberosum Group Phureja clone 1.22). The iAc is a modified Ac that is supposed to be unable to transpose but is expected to trans-activate the transposition of a Ds that is unable to transpose by itself. When the leaf and stem explants of in vitro shoots of the clone 1.22 were inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains harboring binary vectors containing the iAc and the Ds, calli were formed from the explants on media containing 50 mg/L of kanamycin, and shoots were regenerated from the calli. The regenerated shoots formed roots when cultured on media containing 100 mg/L of kanamycin, whereas untransformed shoots did not form roots on the same media. The PCR amplification of the DNA's from the transgenic plants confirmed that the iAc and the Ds elements were introduced into the potato genome of 1.22.

Genetic Transformation of Microtuber Disk of Potato(Solanum Tuberosum) by Agrobacterium Tumefaciens (Agrobacterium tumefaciens에 의한 Microtuber 감자 (Solanum tuberosum) 절편(切片)의 유전적(遺傳的) 형질전환(形質轉換)에 관한 연구(硏究))

  • Calli were induced on microtuber disks of potato(S.tuberosum) infected with three binary vectors transconjugated with C58, A281 and LBA 4404 of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and pBI121. The frequency inducing callus was the highest by infection of C121 carrying pC58 and pBI121, and shoots were differentiated on the calli without any hormonal application. Transformed calli were selected by their resistance to kanamycin and identified by GUS activity. The frequency of callus formation by infection of binary vector strain was affected according to the hormonal application.

  • 감자는 전세계적으로 섭취되는 주요 작물로서 우리나라에서는 감자의 생즙을 관절염 및 통증을 억제하는 민간요법으로 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 감자 에탄을 추출물의 항산화 작용을 검토하였다. 감자 에탄올 추출물(0.05~5 mg/mL) 은 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical에 대하여 강한 free radical scavenger 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 감자 추출물(0.5 mg/mL)은 쥐간 균질액 에서 생성 된 TBARS의 양을 유의적으로 억제하였으며 (p<0.05) Fe/sup 2+//ascorbate induction system에서 감자 추출물(0.5~2 mg/mL)은 DNPH 반응으로 측정된 carbonyl 형성을 억제하였다. 항산화 활성과 마찬가지로 감자 추출물의 환원력은 0.5 mg/mL 농도에서 가장 높았고 이는 α-tocopherol의 경우와 비슷하였다. 이 결과는 감자 추출물이 항산화력을 통해 생체에서 작용할 수 있는 가능성을 제시한다.

  • Our research work aimed to evaluate cover crop effects of winter rye on soil characteristics, soil conservation, and yield productivities on potato fields with 15% slope during a fallowed period. There were two controls of bared field without any cultivation and conventional potato cultivation without winter rye. Potato cultivation increased soil pH, organic matter, available phosphate, and exchangeable cation regardless of cover crop cultivation. Sub-soil, particularly, all components of soil chemical properties showed higher value in winter rye cultivation than conventional cultivation. Higher soil density was observed on cover crop cultivation than conventional cultivation resulting from root residues of the cover crop both topsoil and subsoil. Cover crop residues positively affected plant growth and reduced the amount of soil erosion by holding the soil. Although severe soil erosion was seen in conventional cultivation, winter rye cultivation declined soil erosion by 47% during the fallow period on potato slope fields. Distinct soil bacterial communities were detected among treatments and some OTU(Operational Taxonomic Unit)s showed significantly higher abundance in winter rye treatment. Total yield and commercial rate demonstrated no significant differences while higher tuber phosphate, K+, and Mg2+ contents were observed in winter rye cultivation.

  • In order to protect fungal diseases, leaf disc explants of Solanum tuberosum cultivar, Belchip, was infected with an Agrobacterium MP90 strain containing chimeric gene construct, consisting of antibiotic resistance and chitinase gene driven by the CaMV 35S promoter, for transformation. Regenerated multiple shoots were selected on a medium containing kanamycin and carbenicillin after exposure to Agrobacterium. The presence and integration of the npt II and chitinase gene were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction(PCR). Northern blot analysis indicated that the genes coding for the enzyme could be expressed in potato plants. The chitinase activity of transgenic potato plants was higher than the control potato.
