Dumortiera hirsuta (Sw.) Nees (Dumortieraceae) is a thallose liverwort distributed in tropics and subtropics. It is the only species in family Dumortieraceae, which is the second basal family in order Marchantiales. D. hirsuta is characterized by hairy receptacles and lacking air chamber. The complete chloroplast genome of D. hirsuta was successfully rescued from raw reads generated by HiSeq4000. Its total length is 122,050 bp consisting of four regions: large single copy (LSC) region (81,697 bp), small single copy (SSC) region (20,061 bp), and two inverted repeats (IRs; 10,146 bp per each). It contained 129 genes (84 coding DNA sequence (CDS), eight rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs); 18 genes including four rRNAs, and five tRNAs are duplicated in the IR regions. The overall GC content of D. hirsuta is 28.7%, which is almost same to that of Marchantia paleacea. Phylogenetic tree based on all genes from whole chloroplast genomes will provides phylogenetic position of D. hirstua. This sequence will be an fundamental resources for further researches of order Marchantiales.

Photosynthesis is a highly robust process allowing for rapid adjustment to changing environmental conditions. The efficient acclimation depends on balanced redox metabolism and control of reactive oxygen species release which triggers signaling cascades and potentially detrimental oxidation reactions. Thiol peroxidases of the peroxiredoxin and glutathione peroxidase type, and ascorbate peroxidases are the main peroxide detoxifying enzymes of the chloroplast. They use different electron donors and are linked to distinct redox networks. In addition, the peroxiredoxins serve functions in redox regulation and retrograde signaling. The complexity of plastid peroxidases is discussed in context of suborganellar localization, substrate preference, metabolic coupling, protein abundance, activity regulation, interactions, signaling functions, and the conditional requirement for high antioxidant capacity. Thus the review provides an opinion on the advantage of linking detoxification of peroxides to different enzymatic systems and implementing mechanisms for their inactivation to enforce signal propagation within and from the chloroplast.

엽록체 small HSP의 기능을 조사하기 위하여 벼로부터 분리한 엽록체 small HSP를 구성적으로 발현하는 형질전환 식물체를 제작하였다. 먼저 고온 스트레스 조건하에서의 형질전환 식물체의 내열성을 chlorophyll 형광으로 측정하여 분석하였다. Leaf disc를 고온 스트레스 조건에서 5분간 처리한 후, 광화학계 II의 불활성화를 나타내는 Fo 값과 증가치를 조사하였다. 형질전환 식물체는 고온 스트레스 하에서의 Fo 값의 증가가 현저하게 감소하였다. 또한 무균적으로 Petri dish에서 재배한 유식물체를 치사온도인 $52^{\circ}C$에서 45분간 처리한 후, $20^{\circ}C$ 에서 계속적으로 배양하였을 때, wild-type 식물체는 전부 고사하였으나, 형질전환 식물체의 약 80%는 정상적으로 생존하였다. 또한 과발현된 Oshsp26 단백질의 축적량이 많을수록 내열성의 정도도 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 엽록체 small HSP가 고온 스트레스 하에서 광합성기구를 보호함으로서 식물체의 내열성을 증가시키는데 있어서 중요한 기능을 담당하고 있음을 나타낸다.

Light-regulated translation of chloroplast mRNAs requires nuclear-encoded trans-acting factors that interact with the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of these mRNAs. A set of four proteins (60, 55, 47, and 38 kDa) that bind to the 5'-UTR of the psbA mRNA had been identified in C. reinhardtii. 47 kDa protein (RB47) was found to encode a chloroplast poly (A)-binding protein (cPABP) that specifically binds to the 5'-UTR of the psbA mRNA, and essential for translation of this mRNA, cDNA encoding 60 kDa protein (RB60) was isolated, and the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein was highly homologous to plants and mammalian protein disulfide isomerases (PDI), normally found in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Immunoblot analysis of C. reinhardtii proteins showed that anti-PDI recognized a distinct protein of 56 kDa in whole cell extract, whereas anti-rRB60 detected a 60 kDa protein. The ER-PDI was not retained on heparin-agarose resin whereas RB60 was retained. In vitro translation products of the RB60 cDNA can be transported into C. reinhardtii chloroplast in vitro. Immunoblot analysis of isolated pea chloroplasts indicated that higher plant also possess a RB60 homolog. In vitro RNA-binding studies showed that RB60 modulates the binding of cPABP to the 5'-UTR of the psbA mRNA by reversibly changing the redox status of cPABP using redox potential or ADP-dependent phosphorylation. Site-directed mutagenesis of -CGHC- catalytic site in thioredoxin-like domain of RB60 is an unique PDI located in the chloroplast of C. reinhardtii, and suggest that the chloroplast PDI may have evolved to utilize the redox-regulated thioredoxin like domain as a mechanism for regulating the light-activated translation of the psbA mRNA.

엽록체는 숙주세포에 잡아먹힌 (식균작용) 남세균이 숙주세포와 공생관계를 형성하여 온 것으로 간주된다. 엽록체 게놈은 정적이라고 이해하고 있지만 형질전환을 통하여 상동염기가 도입되면 이와는 반대로 intramolecular homologous recombination에 의해 subgenomic circle을 만드는 등 매우 다이나믹하다는 것이 최근에 증명되고 있다. 고등식물의 엽록체 형질전환은 핵 형질전환에서 기대할 수 없는 여러 이점을 제공한다. 예컨대, transgene의 발현율을 높일 수 있고, transgene들을 polycistronic하게 발현할 수 있으며, 도입된 transgene이 모계유전을 하게 된다는 것 등이다. 담배는 엽록체 형질전환의 모델 식물로 사용되어 왔으나 최근에는 벼, 대두, 면화 등 다른 주요 작물의 형질전환도 가능하게 되었다. 엽록체 형질전환된 작물은 미생물을 이용하여 고부가가치 단백질을 생산하는 생물반응기를 향후 대체할 수 있게 될 것이다.

유럽마가목에서 핵 및 엽록체 유전자의 서열을 이용하여 동의 및 비동의치환율을 산출하였다. 유럽마가목 엽록체 유전자의 서열은 핵 유전자에 비해 평균적으로 움진화가 느리게 일어나고 있음을 나타내었으며 다른 쌍자엽식물과 유사하였다. 핵에서 동의치환율(Ks)은 2.45-2.60이었으며 비동의치환율(Ka=1.15-1.30)보다 약 2배 정도 높았다. 엽록체에서 Ks는 1.20-1.26이었으며 엽록체에서 Ka (0.26-0.42) 보다 약 6배 높았다. 유럽마가목에서 핵 및 엽록체 Ka/Ks은 각각 0.178과 0.056이었다. 이 Ka/Ks의 비율이 1보다 작다는 것은 음의 도태에 있다는 것을 나타낸다. 엽록체 유전자는 유효유전자코돈(ENC)이 22.4-32.2로 핵의 값(35.8-38.7)에 비해 낮았다. G+C 함량 분석에서 엽록체 유전자는 동의코돈 A와 T에 대해 높은 선호성(G+C 함량은 28.4-29.1%에 불과)을 나타낸 반면 핵에서는 G와 C가 더 선호성을 나타내었다(G+C 함량은 63.2-64.2%).

Rhus chinensis is a shrub widely distributed in Asia. It has been used for traditional medicine and ecological restoration. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genome sequence of two R. chinensis genotypes collected from China and Korea. The assembled chloroplast genome of Chinese R. chinensis is 149,094 bp long, consisting of a large single copy (97,246 bp), a small single copy (18,644 bp) and a pair of inverted repeats (16,602 bp). Gene annotation revealed 77 protein coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. A phylogenomic analysis of the chloroplast genomes with 11 known complete chloroplast genomes clarified the relationship of R. chinensis with the other plant species in the Sapindales order. A comparative chloroplast genome analysis identified 170 SNPs and 85 InDels at intra-species level of R. chinensis between Chinese and Korean collections. Based on the sequence diversity between Korea and Chinese R. chinensis plants, we developed three DNA markers useful for genetic diversity and authentication system. The chloroplast genome information obtained in this study will contribute to enriching genetic resources and conservation of endemic Rhus species.

Eclipta prostrata and E. alba are annual herbal medicinal plants and have been used as Chinese medicinal tonics. Both species are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions as well as in Korea. Both species have similar morphological features but E. alba has smoother leaf blade margins compared with E. prostrata. Although both species are utilized as oriental medicines, E. prostrata is more widely used than E. alba. Morphological semblances have confounded identification of either species. Here, we report the complete chloroplast genomes of both species to provide an authentication system between the two species and understand their diversity. Both chloroplast genomes were 151,733-151,757 bp long and composed of a large single copy (83,285-83,300 bp), a small single copy (18,283-18,346 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (25,075-25,063 bp). Gene annotation revealed 80 protein coding genes, 30 tRNA genes and four rRNA genes. A phylogenetic analysis revealed that the genus Eclipta is grouped with Heliantheae tribe species in the Asteraceae family. A comparative analysis verified 29 InDels and 58 SNPs between chloroplast genomes of E. prostrata and E. alba. The low chloroplast genome sequence diversity indicates that both species are really close to each other and are not completely diverged yet. We developed six DNA markers that distinguish E. prostrata and E. alba based on the polymorphisms of chloroplast genomes between E. prostrata and E. alba. The chloroplast genome sequences and the molecular markers generated in this study will be useful for further research of Eclipta species and accurate classification of medicinal herbs.
