Current status of soybean transformation method in Korera was reviewed with recent publications. Most frequently used method for genetic transformation was Agrobacterium-mediated transformation on cotyledonary node which is most popular method used in foreign country. In addition to this, various methods such as sonicationmediated transformation, in planta transformation, and transformation on meristem tissue of germinating seed, have been tried in Korea, even though their efficiencies on repeatability and stability were relatively low. Based on the promising results developed recently by reviewer, several important considerations for successful soybean transformations were suggested. They are 1) proper genotype screening, 2) targeting transformation on exact point, 3) multiple shoot formation, 4) efficient selection pressure, 5) successful shoot elongation, 6) efficient root formation. These are the basic requirements for stable and highly efficient soybean transformation of Korean soybean.

Wild soybean plants(Glycine ussuriensis) collected from Korea(47 strains) and abroad(41 strains) were grown under field condition and classified according to the growth habit. Seeds were analyzed for protein content. The results were as follows: 1. Wild soybean plants were classified into three groups each by seed size, growth habit of stem, leaf size and flowering time. 2. Seed protein was higher in the strains with large leaves, tendril, stem or late flowering. 3. Glycine gracilis, supposed to be the intermediate species between cultivated and wild soybean(according to the stem growth habit, straight or semitendril, and seed size) was medium in protein content of seeds. 4. The average protein content of Glycine ussuriensis, 43.2%, was highest in comparison with those of others such as G. gracilis, 37.5%, or G. max, 36.2%. 5. One hundred seed weight of Amphicarpaea trisperm, similar to the wild soybean, was almost same as Glycine ussuriensis, but protein content of this species was lower than wild soybeans.

ATP contents of soybean(Glycine max Merrill) and mungbean (Phaseolus radiatus L.) seeds being germinated with Hoagland solution at $30^{\circ}C$ for 6 days were determined. In pregerminated seed, ATP contents in soybean and mumgbean were 11.4 and 63.0$\mu$g/g fresh seed respectively. During germination, the highest ATP content of soybean seeds was 550% of initial content on 2nd day and that of mungbean was 480% on 1st day after germination. ATP content in cotyledon of soybean and mungbean were increased up to 4th and 1st day after germination respectively, thereafter both were decreased, but those in the root, including the hypocotyl, of both seeds were continuously increased with germination progress.

The differential response of soybean cultivars with or without sulfur (S) application was observed under fold conditions. Plant biomass decreased by sulfur deficiency but the reduction was less in Bragg variety about 26 % relative to the control than other ones over 45%, probably due to less reduction in loaves and pods. The photosynthetic rate of Bragg cultivar was also unaffected by the absence of sulfur application while it depressed in other lines. Soybean cultivars were compared in terms of storage protein, protein quality and biomass production by application of sulfur nutrition. The storage protein concentration tended to decrease without sulfur application in all the cultivars, however the differential response of protein quality only by 11S/7S ratio to sulfur nutrition status was observed: For instance, Bragg cultivar had higher biomass and protein production but protein quality decreased at sulfur deficiency. On the other hand, biomass and protein production in other cultivars remained louver at sulfur deficiency but protein quality differed genetically in spite of sulfur nutrition status. These results suggest that the response of soybean to sulfur nutrition is controlled by genotypic difference and sulfur supply status.

Plants are grown under constitutive changing of environmental conditions and response to external conditions at both protein and transcription level. The effects of heat on plant growth are broad and influence the yield directly. Heat stresses could be classified depend on intensity and duration. Fundamental changes of growth condition by climate change maybe or maybe not classified as a stress on plant growth. The effects of a short and unanticipated impact of elevated heat on plant could be different with those of under longer extension of ambient heat. To examine differently expressed gene sets by ambient heat stress of soybean, we grow the soybean in normal condition for three weeks. After that, soybean plants move to growth chamber. The temperature of growth chamber increase up to $9^{\circ}C$ for four days. We have extracted mRNA and micro RNA every 24 hours and carried RNA sequence analysis. We found major metabolic pathways affected by ambient heat stress. Mainly carbon metabolism, translation machinery and amino acid synthesis are affected. We discussed the expression patterns of genes of heat sensing and hormone responses.

During the summer of 2005, specimens of soybean cultivars (Daepung, Daewon, Hwanggeum and Taegwang) showing frogeye leaf spot (FLS) were obtained from various areas in Korea. Eight isolates identified as Cercospora sojina were inoculated on the adaxial leaf surfaces of 63 Korean soybean cultivars; the disease responses to each isolate were evaluated 14 days and 21 days after inoculation. Based on the disease responses (resistant or susceptible) of the cultivars by the isolates, a set of cultivars (Anpeong, Bogwang, Cheongdu No. 1, Cheongja No. 3, Dachae, Daemang, Jangwon, Namhae, Sowon, Taegwang) were selected and inoculated with seven isolates for further testing pathogenic variance. Interestingly, 6 out of 7 tested C. sojina isolates revealed differential ability in infecting different soybean cultivars. This result may indicate the possibility of new race occurrence or pathogenic variation; this also presents evidence for prevalent FLS occurrence during humid and hot weather in Korea.

Genome duplication(i.e. polyploidy) is a common phenomenon in the evolution of plants. The objective of this study was to achieve a comprehensive understanding of genome duplication for SNP discovery by Thymine/Adenine(TA) cloning for confirmation. Primer pairs were designed from 793 EST contigs expressed in the roots of a supernodulating soybean mutant and screened between 'Pureunkong' and 'Jinpumkong 2' by direct sequencing. Almost 27% of the primer sets were failed to obtain sequence data due to multiple bands on agarose gel or poor quality sequence data from a single band. TA cloning was able to identify duplicate genes and the paralogous sequences were coincident with the nonspecific peaks in direct sequencing. Our study confirmed that heterogeneous products by the co-amplification of a gene family member were the main cause of obtaining multiple bands or poor quality sequence data in direct sequencing. Counts of amplified bands on agarose gel and peaks of sequencing trace suggested that almost 27% of nonrepetitive soybean sequences were present in as many as four copies with an average of 2.33 duplications per segment. Copy numbers would be underestimated because of the presence of long intron between primer binding sites or mutation on priming site. Also, the copy numbers were not accurately estimated due to deletion or tandem duplication in the entire soybean genome.

The promoters of a variety of plant genes are characterized by the presence of TGACG motif-containing sequences. These genes often exhibit quite diverse expression characteristics and in many case the TGACG-motif has been demonstrated to be essential for expression. Here we report the isolation and characterization of a soybean cDNA that encodes a novel basic/leucine zipper (bZIP) protein, STF1, that specifically interacts with Hex (TGACGTGG) and CRE (TGACGTCA) sequences. This protein contains a bZIP motif at C-teminus and an acidic domain at N-terminus. DNA binding specificities, heterodimer formation, and expression characteristics of STF1 were compared with a soybean TGA1 protein, STGA1. The soybean STF1 interacts with TGACG-sequences containing an ACGT core, while STGA1 requires TGACG as a sufficient binding sequence. The flanking sequences to the TGACG motif affected DNA binding of STF1 siginificantly. The STF1 mRNA is found mainly in dark grown soybean seedling with higher expression in apical and elongating hypocotyl, while STGA1 mRNA is highly abundant in roots of light grown plants. Furthermore, we demonstrate that STF1 heterodimerzes with G-box binding factorss (GBFs) which was not observed with TGA1. The fact that STF1 possesses both distinct DNA binding speficities and heterodimerization properties suggest that STF1 belongs to a new family of plant bZIP proteins which recognize the Hex/CRE motif.

2006년에서 2007년까지 콩연구센터 육종포장 주변에서 잡초 서식상황을 조사한 결과 31과 74속 96종의 식물이 확인되었다. SYMMV의 자연기주 또는 중간기주를 동정하기 위하여 26과 84종의 식물체가 포함되는 495점의 시료를 RT-PC R로 분석한 결과, 단지 콩과 식물에서(돌콩, 새팥, 토끼풀, 비수리)만 SYMMV가 검출되었다. SYMMV를 가지고 있는 콩과 식물 중에서 분석한 돌콩의 3분의 1이상이 SYMMV를 보독하고 있는 것으로 보아 돌콩은 SYMMV의 감염원으로써 중요한 역할을 담당하는 것으로 생각된다. 돌콩은 SYMMV에 7월 중순경에 감염되는 것으로 추정되었다. 돌콩에서 SYMMV의 빠른 감염시기, 높은 종자감염율 그리고 종자전염과 같은 결과로 볼 때, 돌콩은 SYMMV의 생활사 완성에 큰 역할을 담당하고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

콩과 옥수수에서 glutatione-S-transferases와 carboxylesterase의 생화학적 특성과 quizalofopethyl 처리에 따른 식물체내 효소의 활성 변화를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. GSTS의 최적 pH는 8.2이고, Km값은 콩 $6.7{\times}10^{-3}M$, 옥수수 $2.5{\times}10^{-3}M$이었으며, Vmax는 콩 50nmole/mg/min, 옥수수 20nmole/mg/min이었다. Carboxylesterase의 최적 pH는 6.2${\sim}$7.0 범위이고, Km값은 콩 $4.2{\times}10^{-4}M$, 옥수수 $2.5{\times}10^{-4}M$이었으며, Vmax는 콩 33 nmole/mg/min, 옥수수 10nmole/mg/min이었다. 콩과 옥수수에 살포된 quizalofop-ethyl은 콩과 옥수수의 GSTs와 carboxy-lesterase의 활성을 감소시켰고, quizalofop-ethyl 80ppm을 처리했을때 콩은 10일이 경과후 회복되었지만, 옥수수는 3일이 경과후 고사하였다.
