Metsulfuron-methyl 처리시 옥수수에 발현되는 자색화의 원인을 알아보기 위하여 제반실험을 수행하였다. Metsulfuron-methyl 처리시 농도와 시간에 의존하여 당과 anthocyanin의 함량이 증가되었고, 증가된 anthocyanin은 ILE+VAL이나 DCMU 처리에 의해서 경감되었다. 당을 외부로부터 공급하였을 때 당 농도에 의존하여 anthocyanin 함량이 증가되었고, 당형성이 제한되어 있는 백화조직에서는 metsulfuron-methyl 처리로 anthocyanin 생성이 증가되지 않았다. 그리고 metsulfuron-methyl은 광합성 자체를 억제하지 않았다. Metsulfuron-methyl에 의한 anthocyanin 축적을 구조 유전자 변이주 모두에서는 관찰할 수 없었고, 조절유전자 변이주 중에서는 R-r, r-r에서만 anthocyanin축적을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이들의 제반 결과는 metsulfuron-methyl이 처리되면 광합성 산물인 당이 축적되고, 이는 anthocyanin 생합성 과정에 관련된 유전자를 자극함으로써 anthocyanin 생합성과정을 활성화시키며 이로 인해 옥수수가 자색화됨을 시사해 준다.

Tomato hypocotyl can generally be one of two colors, purple or green. Genetically, this trait is controlled by a single dominant gene. Hypocotyl tissue specific color expression is one of many visible genetic marker sources used to select tomato progeny. However, the visible marker does not show a clear distinction between homozygous genotype and heterozygous genotype from the breeding lines. Therefore, to identify a hypocotyl pigmentation related marker, we screened DNA polymorphisms in thirteen tomato lines showing purple or green hypocotyls. The markers used for screening consisted of primer set information obtained from anthocyanin related genes, conserved ortholog set II (COS II) marker sets localized near anthocyanin related genes, and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers localized near COS II markers, which produce polymorphisms between purple and green tomatoes. One primer from a RFLP fragment resulted in a polymorphism on agarose gel electrophoresis. From the RFLP fragment, a cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) marker was developed to distinguish between purple and green hypocotyls. The genotypes of 135 $F_2$ individuals were analyzed using the CAPS marker, and among them, 132 individuals corresponded to the phenotypes of hypocotyl pigmentation.

본 연구는 일시적인 고온 스트레스 처리가 복색 장미 'Pinky Girl'의 화아 착색과 안토시아닌 생합성 관련 유전자들의 발현 양상에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 수행되었다. 꽃잎에서 cyanin의 축적은 화아의 발육단계와 연관이 있으며 화아 발육 과정에서 꽃잎이 출현하는 4단계($S_4$)에서 급격하게 일어났다. 따라서 $S_4$ 단계가 꽃잎 착색에 가장 민감한 시기로 판단된다. $S_4$ 단계에서 3일간 고온 스트레스($39/18^{\circ}C$)를 받은 고온처리구에서 개화 당시 꽃잎의 cyanin 착색이 대조구와 비교하여 45.5% 감소하였다. 한편, 안토시아닌 생합성 관련 유전자인 CHS, CHI, F3'H, DFR, ANS, 3GT, 5GT의 발현은 고온처리구에서 오히려 촉진되었다. 예외적으로 F3H의 발현은 고온처리구에서 26.7% 감소하여 'Pinky Girl'의 복색 발현에 의미 있는 유전자로 확인되었다. 하지만 대부분 안토시아닌 생합성 관련 유전자들의 발현은 꽃잎에서의 cyanin 착색 경향과 비례적이지 않았다. 따라서 장미 꽃잎의 화색소 축적은 번역 이후 효과와 조절유전자와 같은 안토시아닌 생합성과 관련된 다른 복잡한 메커니즘이 연관되어 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

Differences of gene expression between red flash peach cultivar and white flash peach cultivar were investigated by Nest-generation sequencing (NGS). EST from the red flash peach cultivar and white flash peach cultivar were selected for nucleotide sequence determination and homology searches. The levels of transcripts coding for proteins involved in pathogenesis related proteins, temperature stress, ethylene signal pathway were significantly higher in white flash peach cultivar than in red flash peach cultivar. On the other hand, the up-regulation of proteins involved in anthocyanin and flavonol biosynthesis and protein degradation and sorbitol metabolism were observed in red flash peach cultivar. Chalcone synthase was preferentially expressed in the red flesh peach cultivar, agreeing with the accumulation of anthocyanin and expression of other previously identified genes for anthocyanin biosynthesis. Anthocyanin pathway related genes CHS, F3H, DFR, LDOX, UFGT differentially expressed between red flash peach cultivar and white flash peach cultivar. These results suggest that red flash peach cultivar and white flash peach cultivar have different anthocyanin biosynthesis regulatory mechanisms.

Nutritious and functional foods from crop have received great attention in recent years. Colored-grain wheat contains high phenolic compound and a large number of flavonoid. The anthocyanin and polyphenolic synthesis and accumulation is generally stimulated in response to biotic or abiotic stresses. Here, we analyzed genome wide transcripts in seedling of colored-grain wheat response to ABA and PEG treatment. About 900 and 1500 transcripts (p-value < 0.05) from ABA and PEG treatment were aligned to IWGSC1+popseq DB which is composed of over 110,000 transcripts including 100,934 coding genes. NR protein sequences of Poaceae from NCBI and protein sequence of transcription factors originated from 83 species in plant transcription factor database v3.0 were used for annotation of putative transcripts. Gene ontology analysis were conducted and KEGG mapping was performed to show expression pattern of biosynthesis genes related in flavonoid, isoflavonoid, flavons and anthocyanin biopathway. DroughtDB (http://pgsb.helmholtz-muenchen.de/droughtdb/) was used for detection of DEGs to explain that physiological and molecular drought avoidance by drought tolerance mechanisms. Drought response pathway, such as ABA signaling, water and ion channels, detoxification signaling, enzymes of osmolyte biosynthesis, phospholipid metabolism, signal transduction, and transcription factors related DEGs were selected to explain response mechanism under water deficit condition. Anthocyanin, phenol compound, and DPPH radical scavenging activity were measured and antioxidant activity enzyme assays were conducted to show biochemical adaptation under water deficit condition. Several MYB and bHLH transcription factors were up-regulated in both ABA and PEG treated condition, which means highly expressed MYB and bHLH transcription factors enhanced the expression of genes related in the biosynthesis pathways of flavonoids, such as anthocyanin and dihydroflavonols in colored wheat seedlings. Subsequently, the accumulation of total anthocyanin and phenol contents were observed in colored wheat seedlings, and antioxidant capacity was promoted by upregulation of genes involved in maintaining redox state and activation of antioxidant scavengers, such as CAT, APX, POD, and SOD in colored wheat seedlings under water deficit condition. This work may provide valuable and basic information for further investigation of the molecular responses of colored-grain wheat to water deficit stress and for further gene-based studies.

Abiotic stress is one of the most serious problems in plant productivity because it dramatically delays plant growth and development. One of the abiotic stresses, soil salinity, has an adverse effect on plant growth, particularly in areas where irrigation is necessary like semiarid Asia and Africa. Among several physiological parameters, anthocyanin accumulation is a valuable indicator of the condition of the plant, and it tends to increase under salt stress conditions because of its protective role in such an environment. Consequently, it may be important to search for well adapted genotypes for upcoming climate changes. Anthocyanins are known to have important roles in defense against biotic and abiotic stresses, providing important functions for protecting plant cells from reactive oxygen species. In this study, we investigated the anthocyanin accumulation between two Korean sorghum genotypes, Sodamchal and Nampungchal. The two genotypes were subjected to a regulated salinity condition, and the anthocyanin contents were evaluated in both. In Nampungchal, the anthocyanin content increased with 150 mM NaCl treatment during the time course of the experiment. However, the anthocyanin content of Sodamchal decreased in the same condition. The measured values of the anthocyanin content should be useful to identify the intensity of the salt tolerance in Sorghum bicolor L. Furthermore, we studied gene expression profiling of salt stress related genes with qRT-PCR. These results suggest that Nampungchal is a more tolerant genotype to salt stress compared to Sodamchal. This information should be useful for breeding salt-resistant cultivars in sorghum.

식충식물(carnivorous plant)인 Sarracenia purpurea는 생육에 있어 매우 높은 수준의 광량을 필요로 하며 색, 과즙 등으로 벌레를 유인하여 영양분을 흡수하는 것으로 알려져 있다. S. purpurea는 약한 빛 조건에서 녹색을 띄었으며 강한 빛 조건에서는 잎을 포함한 포충낭 전체가 검붉은 색으로 변화하였다. 이와 같은 색의 변화는 질소비료를 첨가하였을 때에 관찰되지 않았다. S. purpurea를 붉게 물들이는 색소는 안토시아닌(anthocyanin)인 것으로 보고된 바가 있다. 본 연구에서는 빛의 세기와 질소 첨가에 따른 안토시아닌의 함량과 생합성 관련 유전자의 발현 특성을 분석하였다. $240{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$의 강한 빛 조건에서의 안토시아닌 함량은 $40{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$의 약한 빛에서 보다 6.15배 높았으며, 0.8% 요소 비료로 질소를 첨가하였을 때에는 약한 빛 조건과 큰 차이가 없었다. 안토시아닌의 초기 생합성 과정에 관여하는 CHALCONE SYNTHASE (CHS) 유전자는 강한 빛에서 발현이 증가하였고 질소 양분을 첨가하였을 때에 감소하였다. 이상의 결과는 빛과 토양의 환경 변화가 S. purpurea의 안토시아닌의 함량을 조절한다는 것을 보여주고 있다.

Bulb color in onions (Allium cepa) is an important trait whose complex inheritance mechanism involves epistatic interactions among major color-related loci. Recent studies revealed that inactivation of dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) in the anthocyanin synthesis pathway was responsible for the color differences between yellow and red onions, and two recessive alleles of the anthocyanidin synthase (ANS) gene were responsible for a pink bulb color. Based on mutations in the recessive alleles of these two genes, PCR-based markers for allelic selection were developed. In this study, genotype analysis of onions from segregating populations was carried out using these PCR-based markers. Segregating populations were derived from the cross between yellow and red onions. Five yellow and thirteen pink bulbs from one segregating breeding line were genotyped for the two genes. Four pink bulbs were heterozygous for the DFR gene, which explains the continuous segregation of yellow and pink colors in this line. Most pink onions were homozygous recessive for the ANS gene, except for two heterozygotes. This finding indicated that the homozygous recessive ANS gene was primarily responsible for the pink color in this line. The two pink onions, heterozygous for the ANS gene, were also heterozygous for the DFR gene, which indicated that the pink color was produced by incomplete dominance of a red color gene over that of yellow. One pink line and six other segregating breeding lines were also analyzed. The genotyping results matched perfectly with phenotypic color segregation.

사과의 경우 한 과총에 5개의 꽃이 피는데 그 중 한 가운데의 중심화가 먼저 개화하여 과일로 발달하고 주위의 측과 4개는 스스로 낙과되는 현상을 자가적과성이라고 한다. 적과는 인위적으로 과실의 숫자를 줄여 잎 수와 과실 수의 균형을 맞추는 작업으로 과실의 크기를 증가시키고, 수세, 수형을 유지시켜 안정적인 생산에 도움을 준다. 노동력 절감을 위해 인간에게 유용하게 사용될 수 있는 특성이 자가적과성인데, 자가적과성 품종의 사과에서 측과는 만개 후 30일 이내에 떨어지고 중심과만 남아서 성숙하게 된다. 51개의 사과 품종으로부터 비자가적과성 그룹 20종, 6월 생리적 낙과 그룹 16종, 자가적과성 그룹 15종을 분류하였다. 대표적인 자가적과성 품종인 Aori #9 로부터 중심과와 측과에서 다르게 발현이 되는 유전자들을 DD-PCR 방법으로 확인하였다. 중심과에서 30개의 clones 과 측과에서 24개의 clones을 선발하여 염기서열을 분석하였다. 주로 측과에서 발현되는 유전자들은 pathogenesis, senescence, temperature stress, protein degradation, fruit browning, sorbitol metabolism에 관여하는 유전자들과 높은 상동성을 나타내고, 중심과에서 발현되는 유전자들의 염기서열을 분석해 보면 anthocyanin의 up-regulation이나 flavonol 생합성, ethylene 생합성에 관여하는 유전자들이 분포한다. Cytochrome P450 유전자의 발현양상을 보기 위해 Real time PCR 분석을 한 결과 중심과보다 측과에서 발현량이 높게 나타났다. 중심과와 측과에서 다르게 발현되는 유전자들의 실제 발현양상을 분석하기 위해 Real time PCR을 이용해서 상대정량을 분석할 계획이며 분자수준에서의 자가적과를 조절하는 기작에 대한 앞으로의 연구는 생력 재배가 가능한 품종 육성의 육종 소재 개발에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Cinnamate-4-hydroxylase (C4H) is a key enzyme in the phenylpropanoid pathway, which is responsible for synthesizing a variety of secondary metabolites that participate in development and adaptation. In this study, we isolated a full-length cDNA of the C4H gene from the Korean black raspberry (Rubus sp.) and found that this gene existed as a single gene. By comparing the deduced amino acid sequence of Rubus sp. C4H with other sequences reported previously we determined that this sequence was highly conserved among widely divergent plant species. In addition, quantitative real time PCR studies indicated that the C4H gene had a differential expression pattern during fruit development, where gene expression was first detected in green fruit and was then remarkably reduced in yellow fruit, followed by an increase in red and black fruit. To investigate the two peaks in expression observed during fruit development and ripening, we measured the flavonoid content. The content of the major flavanol of Korean black raspberry fruits was determined to be highest at the beginning of fruit development, followed by a gradually decrease according to the developmental stages. In contrast, the content of anthocyanins during the progress of ripening was dramatically increased. Our results suggest that the C4H gene in Korean black raspberry plays a role during color development at the late stages of fruit ripening, whereas the expression of C4H gene during the early stages may be related to the accumulation of flavanols.
