Single-copy chloroplast loci are used widely to infer phylogenetic relationship at different taxonomic levels among various groups of plants. To test the utility of chloroplast loci and to provide additional data applicable to hybrid evolution in Musa, we sequenced two introns, rpl16 and ndhA, and two intergenic spacers, psaA-ycf3 and petA-psbJ-psbL-psbF and combined these data. Using these four regions, Musa acuminata Cola(A)- and M. balbisiana Colla (B)-containing genomes were clearly distinguished. Some triploid interspecific hybrids contain A-type chloroplasts (the AAB/ABB) while others contain B-type chloroplasts (the BBA/BBB). The chloroplasts of all cultivars in 'Namwa' (BBA) group came from the same wild maternal origin, but the specific parents are still unrevealed. Though, average sequence divergences in each region were little (less than 2%), we propose that petA-psbJ intergenic spacer could be developed for diversity assessment within each genome. This segment contains three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and two indels which could distinguish diversity within A genome whereas this same region also contains one SNP and an indel which could categorize B genome. However, an inverted repeat region which could form hairpin structure was detected in this spacer and thus was omitted from the analyses due to their incongruence to other regions. Until thoroughly identified in other members of Musaceae and Zingiberales clade, utility of this inverted repeat as phylogenetic marker in these taxa are cautioned.

Oxidative stress derived from reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the major damaging factors in plants exposed to environmental stress. In order to develop the platform technology to solve the global food and environmental problems in the 21s1 century, we focus on the understanding of the antioxidative mechanism in plant cells, the development of oxidative stress-inducible antioxidant genes, and the development of transgenic plants with enhanced tolerance to stress. In this report, we describe our recent results on industrial transgenic plants by the gene manipulation of antioxidant enzymes. Transgenic tobacco plants expressing both superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) in chloroplasts were developed and were evaluated their protection effects against stresses, suggesting that simultaneous overexpression of both SOD and APX in chloroplasts has synergistic effects to overcome the oxidative stress under unfavorable environments. Transgenic tobacco plants expressing a human dehydroascorbate reductase gene in chloroplasts were showed the protection against the oxidative stress in plants. Transgenic cucumber plants expressing high level of SOD in fruits were successfully generated to use the functional cosmetic purpose as a plant bioreactor. In addition, we developed a strong oxidative stress-inducible peroxidase promoter, SWPA2 from sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas). We anticipate that SWPA2 promoter will be biotechnologically useful for the development of transgenic plants with enhanced tolerance to environmental stress and particularly transgenic cell lines engineered to produce key pharmaceutical proteins.

The effect of heat treatment in the light on the subsequent CO2 fixation was studied with isolated spinach chloroplasts to define the role of light during heat stress. The degree of inhibition in CO2 fixation after heat treatment at 35$^{\circ}C$ under full light intensity (600W/$m^2$) was same as that in the dark. However, heat treatment of isolated chloroplasts in the light manifested thylakoidal damage, which did not occur in the dark. Under weak light (10~30 W/$m^2$ ) where no thylakoidal damage occurred, the inhibition was substantially alleviated , showing protective effect of light . The inhibition caused by heat treatment in the dark or light is prevented by the addition of a few combined compounds to the medium prior to treatment. Fructose-1-6- bisphosphate(with aldolase)and ribose-5-phosphate, known to be effective combined with oxaloacetate in preventing inhibition after heat treatment in the dark were equally effective in the light even without oxaloacetate. Addition of sugar phosphate reduced the Mehler reaction, which may occur in fast rae under high light. However, the addition of bicarbnate and catalase that would remove Mehler reaction did not provide any protection, indicating that protective role of sugar phosphate is elsewhere. Furghermore, in whole plants rapid recovery from heat stress was observed in the light. The apparently lesser or equal inhibition in spite of additional thylakoidal damage under heat stres in the light and less requirement for the protection against heat treatment suggest that the inhibitory effect of heat stress is alleviated by light treatment.

Most Skeletonema species have been identified under the name of S. costatum. To assess the morphological species diversity in the genus Skeletonema, we surveyed the nine localities in the coastal waters of South Korea. The light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations in this study showed that ultrastructural features of genus Skeletonema discriminated among four species: S. dohrnii Sarno & Kooistra, S. marinoi Sarno & Zingone, S. subsalsum (Cleve) Bethge, and S. tropicum Cleve. In S. dohrnii, cell diameters were 3-6 ${\mu}m$ and the pervalvar axes were 13-19 ${\mu}m$. One or two partial chloroplasts were visible in a cell. Cells of S. marinoi were 4-10 ${\mu}m$ and the pervalvar axes were 8-18 ${\mu}m$. Each cell contained one chloroplast. Cells of S. subsalsum which contained 1-2 chloroplasts were 8-13 ${\mu}m$ and the pervalvar axes were 11-20 ${\mu}m$. Cells of S. tropicum were 10-18 ${\mu}m$ and the pervalvar axes were 4-9 ${\mu}m$. 2-4 chloroplasts were seen in each cell. Tip width of fultoportula in S. dohrnii and S. marioni was flared and flat, but that in S. subsalsum and S. tropicum was narrow. Morphological groups among them, S. dohrnii and S. marinoi were the most widely distributed in all seasons, while S. tropicum was only occurred in a summer season.

대마(Cannabis sativa L.)의 잎과 암꽃의 포(苞)를 투과 전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 어린 엽육세포에서 관찰되는 원시색소체는 타원형으로서 장축의 크기는 $1.5-2.0{\mu}m$이었으며, 스트로마 기질내에는 100nm 크기의 색소체소구가 많이 나타났다. 파종후 3주후에 채취된 시료의 엽육세포에 있어서는 그라나가 잘 발달된 엽록체가 관찰되었는데, 틸라코이드의 신장과 더불어 엽록체의 형태도 긴 장타원형을 이루고 있었다. 엽육세포가 성숙하면서 전분립의 수와 크기가 점차 증가하였고, 이에 따라서 엽록체의 형태도구형에 가까운 타원형으로 변하였다. 특히 이 시기의 그라나간틸라코이드는 매우 팽창되는 양상을 나타내었다. 엽육세포 가운데 비교적 어린 단계에 있는 세포에서는 원시색소체가 엽록체와 함께 출현하기도 하였는데, 이때의 이들 엽록체는 전분립을 전혀 지니지 않았다. 엽육조직과 암꽃의 포에서 관찰된 표피세포는 전분립을 지닌 엽록체가 세포벽을 따라 나타났으며, 핵은 세포의 기부에 규칙적으로 배열하였다. 비분비모는 세포의 중앙에 큰 액포가 발달하였으며 아주 적은 세포질이 세포벽을 따라 존재하였다. 이들 세포질내에도 옅록체가 나타났는데, 이들은 엽육세포의 엽록체에 비해 현저히 작았고, 형태도 타원형에 가까왔다. 한편, 분비모에서는 매우 특징적인 색소체가 출현하였는데, 이들은 격자구조의 막성구조(reticulate body)를 지니면서 분비작용을 왕성히 하고 있었다.

과산화계 제초제 oxyfluorfen이 처리된 비형질전환 벼와 형질전환 벼에서 Protox 발현 위치가 제초제 저항성에 미치는 영향을 비교하였다. Arabidopsis protoporphyrinogen oxidase(Protox; AP 계통)를 색소체에만 발현하는 형질전환 벼와 Myxococcus xanthus Protox 유전자를 색소체와 미토콘드리아에 모두 발현하는 형질전환 벼(TTS 계통)가 형질전환 시스템으로 사용되었다. Oxyfluorfen이 처리된 TTS4 계통은 AP 계통이나 비형질전환 벼에 비해 낮은 수준의 세포질 누출 및 malonyldialdehyde를 보여주었고, 높은 5-aminolevulinic acid 합성 능력을 유지하였다. Oxyfluorfen 작용 동안, TTS4 계통은 AP1 계통보다 높은 제초제 저항성을 보여주었는데, 이는 색소체만에서의 Arabidopsis Protox의 발현에 비해 색소체와 미토콘드리아에서의 M. xanthus Protox의 쌍발현이 광역학적인 protoporphyrin IX의 축적을 더 효율적으로 억제하였기 때문일 것이다. 이 결과들은 미토콘드리아 내 Protox의 발현이 Protox 저해형 제초제에 대한 식물의 저항성에 크게 기여함을 의미한다.

환경스트레스에 대한 항산화효소의 보호효과를 이해하고 효과적인 스트레스내성 식물을 개발하기 위하여 CuZnSOD와 APX를 엽록체에 발현시킨 형질전환식물체 (CA식물체)에 강한 빛 (highlight, 1,100$\mu$mol m$^{-2}$ sec$^{-1}$)과 4$^{\circ}C$ chilling을 처리하였다. CA식물체 잎절편에서의 보호효과를 CuZnSOD을 도입한 SOD식물체, APX을 도입된 APX식물체 및 비형질전환식물체 (NT식물체)의 것과 비교하였다. CA식물체의 광계2에서의 광합성 효율 (Fv/Fm)은 highlight와 4$^{\circ}C$ chilling복합처리 1시간째에서 NT식물체에 비해 약 15%의 보호효과를 나타내었고, 광계1에서의 P700 redox state는 처리 후 3시간째에 약 23%의 보호효과를 나타내었다. SOD식물체와 APX식물체의 복합처리에 대한 보호효과는 CA식물체와 NT식물체의 중간 효과를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 엽록체에서 CuZnSOD와 APX의 동시발현이 highlight와 chilling에 의한 산화스트레스를 극복하는 데 매우 중요하게 관여함을 직접적으로 제시하는 것이다.
