BcGRl gene encoding cytosolic glutathione reductase of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris var. Pekinensis cv. Seoul) was placed under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter and introduced into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun) via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. T$_{0}$ 32 independent plants transformed with BcGRl gene were selected with kanamycin and they were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blot analysis. Northern blot analysis revealed that the constitutive expression of BcGRl gene and there was no relationship between the copy number of introduced gene and the levels of BcGRl transcripts.

To develop transgenic orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) resistant to high temperature, a thermptolerance gene, DgP23, was introduced into orchardgrass using Agrobacterium - mediated transformation method. PCR and Southern blot analyses using genomic DNA showed specific DNA band on agarose gel and hybridization signal on X- ray film in transgenic orchardgrass harboring the recombinant DgP23 gene, but not in the wild type and empty vector control plants. RT-PCR and Southern blot analyses using total RNA also showed specific DNA band and hybridization signal. Transgenic orchardgrass did not showed ny morphological aberration both in the green house and field cultivation. Thermotolerance of transgenic plants was not detected in laboratory test. but may detected in field test.

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.

Total bacterial community DNA, which was extracted from microcosm soil and field soil after 2,4-D amendments, was analyzed on Southern blots, using the tfdA gene probe derived from plasmid pJP4 and the Spa probe from Sphingomonas paucimobilis. Southern blot analyses with total bacterial DNA extracted from soils Inoculated with Pseudomonas cepacia/pJP4 revealed that DNA probe method could detect the 2,4-D degrading bacteria down to $10^5\;cells/g$ dry soil. In the microcosm experiment, there was a good correlation between 2,4-D degradation and banding patterns in hybridization analyses performed after each 2,4-D treatment using the two probes. When bacterial DNA extracted from microcosm soil was hybridized with the Spa probe, a change in the position of hybrid bands was observed over time in a Southern blot, suggesting that population change or possibly genetic rearrangement in 2,4-D degrading microbial populations occurred in this soil. With the Spa probe, one hybrid DNA band was persistently observed throughout the five 2,4-D additions. When bacterial DNA isolated from the field soil was probed with the tfdA and Spa, strong hybridization signal was observed in the 100 ppm-treated subplot, weak signal In the 10 ppm-treated subplot, and no significant signal in the 1 ppm-treated and control subplots. The data show that DNA probe analyses were capable of detecting and discriminating the indigenous 2,4-D degrading microbial populations in soil amended with 2,4-D under laboratory and field conditions.

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.

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.

We isolated genomic clone of FVFD16 and FVFD30 gene specifically expressed during fruit body formation of Flammulina velutipes [(Curt: Fr.) Sing] and determinated the sequences. The FVFD16 gene is including two introns in open reading frame, and FVFD30 gene is including four introns. The introns were matched GT/AG rule. The FVFD16 and FVFD30 genes contained CAAT box with similarity arrange and TATA box. CT-rich region was presented before the transcription start point. FVFD30 gene is investigated that expected the most activity of CCACC arrange. The result of FVFD16 gene analysis showed 80% homology by cDNA clone that is gene family. From the results of genomic southern blot analysis, we presumed more than two copy number gene family of FVFD16 and FVFD30 gene.

To investigate the function of chloroplast-localized small HSP in rice, the cDNA, Oshsp21, was introduced into rice plants via Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer system. Calli induced from rice immature embryos were co-cultivated with a A. tumafaciens EHA101 that contained a plasmid, pIHSP21. The efficiency of plant regeneration from the calli co-cultivated with the Agrobacterium was about 30%. PCR and Southern blot analyses using genomic DNA revealed that gene for the chloroplast small HSP was introduced into the genome of rice. Expression of transgene was investigated by northern blot analysis. Results indicate that the transgene, Oshsp21, was constitutively expressed at normal growth temperature.

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.
