This study was to evaluate the effects of gamma irradiation on the germination, nutrient concentrations and growth of spinach and radish. Both the spinach and radish seeds exhibited relatively higher germination rates in response to the low doses of gamma irradiation compared to the non -irradiated control. Leaf DW of the radish did not respond to gamma irradiation but that of the spinach increased significantly in response to a gamma radiation of 4 Gy (P< 0.05). Leaf growth parameters of the spinach including the leaf area and SLA (leaf area/leaf dry weight) also demonstrated increased responses to gamma irradiation. R/S (root dry weight/shoot dry weight), root DW and root length of the spinach exhibited a positive response to gamma irradiation while those of the radish did not. In contrast, SRL (root length/root dry weight) significantly decreased with gamma irradiation at 8 Gy for the spinach, but not for the radish. The tissue nitrogen concentrations of the spinach showed an increased response to gamma irradiation while that of the radish did not. Furthermore, higher concentrations of phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium were found in the irradiated spinach, but not in the irradiated radish. It seems that the non-specific physiological and/or biochemical activities of spinach might be accelerated by gamma irradiation, possibly accounting for the stimulation of nutrient uptake from the root media and early biomass accumulation in the current study.

시금치의 뿌리 조직과 ferrocene을 탄소반죽 전극에 고정하여 과산화수소를 정량할 수 있는 전극을 만들었다. Ag/AgCl 전극에 대하여 -0.3~0.0V의 전위의 범위에서 전극의 감도를 관찰하였으며 전극의 감응시간은 11.8sec로 나타났다. 전극의 검출한계는 $2.25{\times}10^{-6}M$ 이었으며, $1.0{\times}10^{-3}M$ 과산화수소를 이용해 15회 반복 측정한 결과, 상대표준편차는 1.87% 이었다. 효소전극의 감도는 19일 사용 후 40%로 감소하였다.

Based on a tracer study, starch phosphorylase was implicated as an agent in the starch synthesis in sweet potato roots. The enzyme was purified from the tissue as a cluster of isozymes with an average mw of 205K (fresh roots) or 159K (roots stored for 3 mon.). On SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, one large subunit of 98K mw and several small ones of 47${\sim}57K mw were observed. From the mw data and the results of peptide mapping and immunoelectrophoretic blotting using mono- and polyclonal antibodies, it was deduced that a large part of the large subunit was cleaved at the middle part of the peptide chain to give rise to the small subunits, and on storage, the enzyme molecules were further modified by proteolysis. During the course of phosphorylase purification, a proteinaceous inhibitor of the enzyme was isolated. It had a mw of 250K and was composed of 5 identical subunits of 51K mw. In the direction of starch synthesis, the inhibitor showed a noncompetitive kinetics with a Ki of $1.3{\times}10^{-6}\;M$. By immunohistochemical methods, both the enzyme and the inhibitor were located on the cell wall and amyloplast. Crossreacting materials of the inhibitor were present in spinach leaf, potato tuber and rice grain. These findings indicate the wide occurrence of the inhibitor and also imply its possible participation in regulating starch phosphorylase activity in vivo.

식물의 광합성에 관여하는 광계 I의 protein subunit들의 연구는 최근까지도 극히 미약한 실정이며, 각각의 subunit들의 특성 또한 일부만이 밝혀져 있다. 본 연구진은 배추의 cDNA library로부터 식물에만 존재하는 subunit 중의 하나인, PSI-H subunit을 암호화하는 유전자인 bpsaH를 분리하였다. 이 유전자는 총 633 bp의 염기로 구성되어 있으며, 염기서열로부터 추정되는 분자량은 약 15,400이었고 등전점은 9.91이었다. 배추 PSI-H subunit의 아미노산 서열을 다른 식물체 유래의 단백질들과 비교분석한 결과, 시금치의 PSI-H와 가장 높은 유사성 (79.3%)을 나타내었다. 또한 bpsaH의 조직 특이적 발현 양상을 조사한 결과, 광합성 조직인 잎에서는 강하게 발현된 반면 꽃봉우리에서는 약하게 발현되었으며, 비광합성 조직인 뿌리에서는 전혀 발현되지 않았다.
