Homeostatic regulation of meristematic stem cells accomplished by maintaining a balance between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation is critical for proper plant growth and development. The quiescent center (QC) regulates root apical meristem homeostasis by maintaining stem cell fate during plant root development. Cell cycle checkpoints, such as anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome/cell cycle switch 52 A2 (APC/C^CCS52A2), strictly control the low proliferation rate of QC cells. Although APC/C^CCS52A2 plays a critical role in maintaining QC cell division, the molecular mechanism that regulates its activity remains largely unknown. Here, we identified SCF^FBS1, a ubiquitin E3 ligase, as a key regulator of QC cell division through the direct proteolysis of CCS52A2. FBS1 activity is positively associated with QC cell division and CCS52A2 proteolysis. FBS1 overexpression or ccs52a2-1 knockout consistently resulted in abnormal root development, characterized by root growth inhibition and low mitotic activity in the meristematic zone. Loss-of-function mutation of FBS1, on the other hand, resulted in low QC cell division, extremely low WOX5 expression, and rapid root growth. The 26S proteasome-mediated degradation of CCS52A2 was facilitated by its direct interaction with FBS1. The FBS1 genetically interacted with APC/C^CCS52A2-ERF115-PSKR1 signaling module for QC division. Thus, our findings establish SCF^FBS1-mediated CCS52A2 proteolysis as the molecular mechanism for controlling QC cell division in plants.

Swertia chirata is an endangered gentian species that prefers to grow at higher altitudes. This ethnomedicinal herb is known primarily for its bitter taste caused by the presence of important phytochemicals that are directly associated with human health benefits. Due to a continuous loss of habitat and inherent problems of seed viability and seed germination, alternative strategies for propagation and conservation are urgently required to prevent the possible extinction of this species. We have formulated a reproducible protocol for the rapid propagation and conservation of this plant using leaves taken from in vitro shoot cultures. Direct induction of more than seven shoot buds per explant was achieved for the first time when the explants were placed on MS medium supplemented with $2.22{\mu}M$ N-6-benzyladenine, $11.6{\mu}M$ kinetin, and $0.5{\mu}M$ ${\alpha}-naphthalene$ acetic acid. Direct organogenesis was noted exclusively from the adaxial surface of the basal segments of leaves. Leaves closer to the apical meristem were more responsive than those farther away from the meristem. Plants raised through direct organogenesis were evaluated for their clonal fidelity by chromosomal analysis and DNA fingerprinting. Complete plants were successfully transferred to the field condition and produced viable seeds. Given the enormous potential of this age-old medicinal plant in terms of potential health-benefitting drugs, this protocol can be used for commercial propagation purposes and to initiate future genetic improvement studies.

본 연구진은 세계 최초로 GFkV에 단독 감염된 포도 품종 거봉의 휴면아로부터 직접 경정 분열조직을 절취하여 배양함으로써 별도의 열처리나 화학처리 없이 GFkV가 제거된 신초 재생에 성공하였다. GFkV는 포도 식물체의 체관에만 한정적으로 존재하고 접목으로 감염되는 포도 바이러스이다. 경정조직은 $4^{\circ}C$에서 일정기간 저장된 1년생 경화가지의 휴면아로부터 0.3 mm (73 절편체)와 0.8 mm (5절편체)를 절취하였는데, 절취 부위는 생장점(apical meristem)을 포함하여 2 ~ 5개의 엽원기(leaf primordia)와 미분화 원기(uncommitted primordia) 1 ~ 4개를 포함하였다. 절취된 경정조직을 BA 3.0 mg/L와 IBA 0.1 mg/L가 혼합된 배지에 16주간 배양한 결과, 0.3 mm와 0.8 mm의 경정조직에서 각각 4.1%와 40.0%의 신초 재생률이 관찰되었고, 재생된 신초에서의 바이러스 제거율(재생된 신초수에 대한 RT-PCR negative 신초수의 백분율)은 0.3 mm의 경정조직에서는 100%를, 0.8 mm에서는 50%를 나타내었다. 신초를 증식시킨 후 감염바이러스를 다시 진단한 결과, 신초가 처음 재생되었을 때의 진단결과와 동일하였다. 휴면아로부터 분열조직을 배양하여 바이러스가 제거된 신초를 확보한 예는 세계적으로 보고된 바가 없는 것으로서, 본 연구진의 새로운 바이러스 제거방법은 향후 포도 뿐만 아니라 과수를 포함한 낙엽성 수목의 무병묘 생산에 매우 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Glyphosate (N-[phosphonomethyl)glycine)에 의한 식물체(植物體)의 피해양상(被害樣相)을 알아보기 위하여 토마토(Lycopersicon esculentum Mil)를 대상으로 하여 동화부위(同化部位)에 부분처리(部分處理)하거나 전(全) 식물체(植物體)에 분무처리(噴霧處理)하였다. Glyphosate는 처리 24시간(時間)이내에 shikimic acid의 급속한 체내(體內) 축적(蓄積)을 유도(誘導)하였다. Shikimic acid의 축적(蓄積)은 정단엽(頂端葉)의 분열조직(分裂組織)에서 엽록소(葉綠素)의 감소(減少)를 동반(同伴)하였다. 이때 나타나는 황화(黃化)현상은 생장하는 어린잎의 정단조직(頂端組織)에서 향정성(向頂性)인 현상(現象)이었다 엽록소(葉綠素)의 감소(減少)는 glyphosate의 이차효과(二次效果) 내지 삼차효과(三次效果)인 것으로 보인다. 그렇지만 축적(蓄積)된 shikimic acid의 감소(減少)는 처리 5일째부터 정단엽과 뿌리를 제외하고는 감소(減少)하였다. Shikimic acid의 축적(蓄積) 정도는 처리(處理)된 부위(部位)에 따라 매우 다르게 나타났으며, paraquat를 처리(處理)한 하위(下位) 3엽(葉)에서는 3일 후(後)에 토마토의 정단분열조직(頂端分裂組織)에서 shikimic acid의 수준(水準)이 가장 높게 나타났다.

The plant Empetrum nigrum, valued in the traditional system of medicine, is well known for its antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. In the present work, the effect of removal of shoot apical meristem (SAM) on shoot proliferation was studied. It was observed that removal of SAM promoted shoot proliferation whereas intact tip resulted in higher survival percentage. Further, the effect of different concentrations of BA on above was also studied. During root formation the effect of light quality after treatment with IBA was investigated. For rooting, continuous red light without IBA resulted in maximum rooting percentage. The above factors when taken into consideration during micropropagation of this endangered plant can result in healthier plantlets. The results show that the species could be successfully conserved by in vitro propagation system.

Evolutionary studies conducted on NAC (NAM, ATAF1&2, and CUC2) genes for all major groups of land plants, indicate the presence of the NAC subfamilies, even in the early land plants. The varied roles played by NAC proteins in plant growth and development range from the formation of shoot apical meristem, floral organ development, reproduction, lateral shoot development, and defense responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Considering the value and importance of solanaceous crops, the study of NAC proteins in these plants needs to be intensified. This will help to identify and functionally characterize their promoters, which will subsequently aid in engineering plants with improved performance under stressful conditions. In this review, the functionally characterized NAC transcription factors specific to tomato, potato, tobacco, chili pepper and eggplant (aubergine) are summarized, clearly indicating their biological functions in the defense mechanism of the plants, against biotic and abiotic stresses.

Young haploid leaf derived from the anthers of tobacco plant was cultuerd and plantlets of various ploidies were obtained. When the leaf was put on the medium supplemented with kinetin as growth regulator, plantlets developed directly from the leaf, and the plants coming out in early stage of culture were all haploid. Plants developing in later stage were mostly haploids with some exception of diploid and aneuploid. Leaves were also cultured on the callus-inducing media supplemented with 2,4-D and kinetiion, and the calluses were sub-cultured for six months. Plants developed from these calluses were mostly aneuploids of various chromosome numbers. In view of the fact that the plants directly developed from the leaf were all haploid, the tissue of the original leaf explant was assumed to be uniform as far as chromosome number was concerned. On the other hand, it seemed that the occurrence of various ploidies in the plants derived from the calluses of same origin was the result of the influence of in vitro culture. Apical meristem tissues and various multicellular bodies were formed in the epidermal and inner mesophyll tissues as well as in the sub-epidermal cells.

Two potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars were transformed by Agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter and $\beta$-glucuronidase (GUS) gene. Expression patterns of the CaMV 35S promoter according to tissue types and developmental stages, and genetic stability of GUS gene were investigated in the clonal progenies of transgenic potatoes. Kanamycin-resistant shoot emerged from tuber disc after 4 weeks of culture, and root was induced 6 weeks after culture on the selection medium. Shooting frequency of cvs. Superior and Dejima were 43% and 27%, respectively. Mature transformants and their clonal progenies showed no phenotypical abnormality. GUS activity was expressed primarily at parenchymatous cells of phloem tissue around the vascular cambium in the stem and root, and higher activity was found at the apical meristem of shoot, root and adventious shoot bud. GUS activity was higher at tubers of young explants than at stored tubers. These facts indicate that expression level of the CaMV 35S promoter differed according to tissue types and developmental stages of the organs. The GUS gene was stably inherited to each clonal progeny and normally expressed.
