Prospects are briefly reviewed for further advances in current poultry industry technology in the foreseeable future. It is concluded that in the most advanced industries progress should continue at a similar rate to the recent past in conventional genetics and breeding, nutrition and disease control. Significant benefits will also follow in the short-term from the application of molecular biotechnology to disease diagnosis and vaccine production. Technical advances now make it possible to produce transgenic chickens at acceptable success rates but applications of this technology to poultry breeding will not become significant till we have sufficient knowledge of the poultry genome, and especially the genes involved in production performance. For the undeveloped and less advanced industries it is argued that the level of advanced technologies to be implemented in those countries should be decided largely on market forces, informed by objective assessment of the diverse options available. The need for urgent international action on conservation of poultry genetic resources is also stressed.

근래에 많은 형질전환 실험동물이 생산되어 인간을 대체하여 전임상실험에 사용되고 있으며, 그 요구는 점차 증가되고 있다. 그러나 지금까지 생산된 것은 소형 실험동물에 국한되고 있어, 사람과의 그 크기와 기능에 거리가 있었던 것이 사실이다. 본 실험은 중형 실험동물이자 사람과 여러 기관 및 조직이 유사하다고 알려진 돼지로부터 난자를 채취하여 난자의 핵을 GFP가 발현된 세포의 핵으로 치환하여 태어난 산자를 재복제하여 생산된 돼지 신생자를 이용하여 각 기관 및 조직에서 GFP의 발현을 RT-PCR, Northern blot 및 immunocytochemistry 방법으로 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 레트로 바이러스를 이용하여 형질전환 돼지를 생산하기 위한 기초 연구로써 유전자 도입 효율을 증진시키기 위해 sucrose와 poly-brene을 사용하여 그 효과를 조사하였다. 유전자(hGH) 전달체로는 vesicular stomatitis virus gly-coprotein pseudotyped retroviral vector (VSV-G)를 사용하였다. 체외에서 성숙된 돼지 난자는 매우 협소한 위란강내 공간을 가지며 따라서 위란강내 공간의 확장은 필수조건이다. sucrose 처리는 수정율및 배발달에는 영향을 미치지 않았으며 sucrose 처리를 통해 돼지난자는 위란강의 공간이 확장되어 충분한 양의 바이러스 벡터의 주입이 가능하였다. PCR 분석 결과 8.3 %의 유전자 도입율을 나타낸 무처리군에 비해 0.5, 1, 2, 3 % sucrose 처리군에서 39.3, 43.3, 35.7, 40.7 %의 높은 유전자 도입율을 나타내었다. 추가적으로 돼지난자는 sucrose 처리에 의해 다정자 침입의 억제 효과를 나타내었다. 일반적으로 레트로 바이러스를 이용한 세포에의 높은 유전자 도입 효과를 나타내는 것으로 알려진 polybrene을 바이러스와 공동 주입한 결과 0.5, 5, 50$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$의 농도에서 각각 56.5, 50.0, 57.1 %의 도입율을 나타냄으로써 바이러스 단독 주입군의 34.6%보다 높은 효율을 나타내었다. 그러나 50$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$의 농도를 주입하였을 경우, 분할율과 배반포발달율이 43.3 및 4.6%를 나타냄으로써 바이러스 단독주입군의 72.0, 17.3%보다 유의적으로 낮았다. 이상의 결과를 종합할 때, sucrose의 처리는 돼지 난자의 발달에 영향을 주지 않으며 유전자 도입효율을 증진시킬 수 있었으며, 추가적으로 다정자 침입억제효과를 보였다. 또한 polybrene의 사용은 낮은 농도에서 유전자 도입효율을 증진시켰다. 이러한 결과들은 형질 전환 돼지의 생산 가능성을 높이는데 이용될 수 있다고 사료된다.

The morphology of the leaves and the flowers of angiosperms exhibit remarkable diversity. One of the factors showing the greatest variability of leaf organs is the leaf index, namely, the ratio of leaf length to leaf width. In some cases, different varieties of a single species or closely related species can be distinguished by differences in leaf index. To some extent, the leaf index reflects the morphological adaptation of leaves to a particular environment. In addition, the growth of leaf organs is dependent on the extent of the expansion of leaf cells and on cell proliferation in the cellular level. The rates of the division and enlargement of leaf cells at each stage contribute to the final shape of the leaf, and play important roles throughout leaf development. Thus, the control of leaf shape is related to the control of the shape of cells and the size of cells within the leaf. The shape of flower also reflects the shape of leaf, since floral organs are thought to be a derivative of leaf organs. No good tools have been available for studies of the mechanisms that underlie such biodiversity. However, we have recently obtained some information about molecular mechanisms of leaf morphogenesis as a result of studies of leaves of the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. For example, the ANGUSTIFOLIA (AN) gene, a homolog of animal CtBP genes, controls leaf width. AN appears to regulate the polar elongation of leaf cells via control of the arrangement of cortical microtubules. By contrast, the ROTUNDIFOLIA3 (ROT3) gene controls leaf length via the biosynthesis of steroid(s). We provide here an overview of the biodiversity exhibited by the leaf index of angiosperms. Taken together, we can discuss on the possibility of the control of the shapes and size of plant organs by transgenic approaches with the results from basic researches. For example, transgenic plants that overexpressed a wildtype ROT3 gene had longer leaves than parent plants, without any changes in leaf width. Thus, The genes for leaf growth and development, such as ROT3 gene, should be useful tools for the biodesign of plant organs.

To understand the late gut development and differentiation, identification and characterization of target genes of homeotic genes involved in gut development are required. We have previously reported that homeodomain proteins can regulate expression of the cell proliferation-related genes. We investigated here the expression of the Drosophila proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) and E2F(dE2F) genes in larval and adult guts using transgenic flies bearing lacz reporter genes. Both PCNA and dE2F genes were expressed strongly in whole regions of the larval and adult guts including the esophagus, proventriculus, midgut and hindgut, showing higher expression in foregut and hindgut imaginal rings of larva. Nitric Oxide(NO) has been known to be involved in cell proliferation and tumor growth and also to have an antiproliferative activity. Therefore, we also investigated effects of NO on the expression of PCNA and dE2F genes in gut through analyses of lacz reporter expression level in the SNP (NO donor)-treated larval guts. Expressions of both PCNA and dE2F were greatly declined by SNP. The inhibitory effect of NO was shown in whole regions of the gut, especially in hindgut, while the internal region of proventriculus, esophagus, foregut imaginal ring and hindgut imaginal ring was resistant. Our results suggest that this inhibitory effect may be related with the antiproliferative activity of NO.

가축의 번식과 수요를 조절할 수 있는 생물학적 자극 통제 수단으로 새로운 돼지 페르몬성 냄새 물질를 탐색하고자, 기질 분자로서 2-cyclohexyloxytetrahydrofurane (A), 2-phenoxytetrahydrofurane (B) 유도체들의 설명인자인 물리화학 파라미터와 돼지 페로몬의 수용체 (pOBP)에 대한 결합 친화력 상수($p[Od.]_{50}$) 간의 2D-QSAR 모델을 유도하고 검토하였다. 2D-QSAR 모델은 결합 친화력 상수를 약 96.4% 설명하는 매우 양호한 모델($r^{2}=0.964$)로서 분자내 치환기의 소수성 (SL) 상수에 관한 적정값이 $(SL)_{opt.}=1.418$일 때 가장 높은 결합 친화력을 나타냄을 알았다. 그러므로 분자내 치환기의 소수성 인자가 결합 친화력 상수에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소이었다.

The random insertion of useful gene in genome has been a common method to produce transgenic animals. This method is inefficient for induction of high levels gene expression in transgenic animals. To improve this limit, we tried to develop the system which target the gene at the specific genomic region. Thus, in our experiment, the vector system to target the human thrombopoietin (TPO) gene was developed. Targeting vector including TPO, neo and DT genes was transfrcted into bovine embryonic fibroblasts (bEF) or bovine ear skin fibroblasts (bESF). First of all, we determined concentration of the geneticin (G418) for selection of transfected cell lines. Our results showed that 1200 and 900 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of G418 were the most proper for selection of transfscted bEF and bESF cells. In this study, lipofectamine was used as a transfection reagent. Thus, the proper ratio of DNA:lipofectamine for transfection was also required to elevate targeting efficiency in primary mammalian cells. Our result indicates that the most proper ratios of DNA:lipofectamine were 4:2 and 1:2 in bEF and bESF cells. According to the optimized these conditions, single colonies were picked following transfection and were analyzed by PCR. More than 90% of the single colonies have TPO gene. However, there were no colonies with targeted TPO at the specific genomic region. Therefore, further experiments to select the specifically targeted colonies and to find more efficient methods such as reducing selection time and shortening a size of TPO gene are required.
