대두에서 한발과 담수와 같은 수분스트레스시 항산화제의 함량변화와 항산화 효소의 활성도 턴화를 확인한 결과는 다음과 같다. 대두에서 한발과 담수 수분스트레스 처리시 두 품종모두 수분 함량과 가용성 단백질 함량이 감소하는 미성숙 노화를 나타내었으며 스트레스의 회복시는 회복되었다. 수분스트레스시 APOX, GR의 효소활성은 감소하였고, 스트레스의 회복시 효소활성이 회복되었다. MDHAR 효소 활성은 기간별 처리시 품종별 차이는 있었지만 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, 회복기를 주었을 때 조금 감소하였지만 일정수준을 유지하였다. DHAR의 효소활성은 기간별 처리시와 회복시 모두 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 3일간의 회복기를 주었을 때 효소활성변화는 스트레스시의 결과와 비슷하였으나, 처리기간별 수분 스트레스시 은하콩의 경우 MDHAR과 DHAR의 효소활성이 모두 증가하였다. 아스코브산의 함량온수분 스트레스 처리 기간별과 수분 스트레스 회복시 모두 MDHAR과 DHAR의 효소활성과 상호관련이 높았고, 환원형 글루타치온의 함량은 수분 스트레스 처리 기간별에서는 GR의 활성과 관련이 없었으나 수분 스트레스 회복기를 주었을 때 상호관련이 높게 나타났다.

Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is a signal molecule in the activation of defense responses in plants. In this study, we isolated 15 MeJA-inducible genes by subtractive hybridization. These genes encode two myrosinase-binding proteins, five lipase-like proteins, a polygalacturonase inhibitor, a putative chlorophyll-associated protein, a terpene synthase, a dehydroascorbate reductase, an ascorbate oxidase, a cysteine protease, an O-methyltransferase, and an epithiospecifier protein. Northern analysis showed that most of the Chinese cabbage genes are barely expressed in healthy leaves, but are strongly induced by MeJA treatment. We also examined whether these MeJA-inducible genes were activated by ethethon, BTH, and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst), a nonhost pathogen of Chinese cabbage. The results showed that none of the MeJA-inducible genes was strongly induced by ethephon or by BTH. The genes encoding lipase-like proteins and a myrosinase-binding protein were weakly induced by Pst. Other MeJA-inducible genes were not activated at all by the pathogen.

Thioltransferase, also known as glutaredoxin, was purified from Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris ssp. napus var. pekinensis) by a combination of ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. Its purity was confirmed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and its molecular weight was estimated to be about 12,000 which is comparable with those of most known thioltransferases. The enzyme utilizes 2-hydroxyethyl disulfide, S-sulfocysteine, ${\alpha}-chymotrypsin$, insulin, and trypsin as substrates in the presence of reduced glutathione. The enzyme has Km values of 0.03-0.97 mM for these substrates. It appeared to contain dehydroascorbate reductase activity. The pH optimum of the enzyme was 8.5, when 2-hydroxyethyl disulfide was used as a substrate. It was greatly activated by reduced glutathione. Its activity was not significantly lost when stored at high temperature, indicating its thermostable character. It may play an important role in thiol-disulfide exchange in plant cells.

To determine whether the enhanced UV-B causes oxidative stress, and to test the relationship between plant growth response and biochemical defense response to UV-B, two soybean plants, Keunolkong, a highly UV-B susceptible cultivar, and Danyeubkong, a less UV-B susceptible cultivar, were subjected to the enhanced UV-B [daily dose : 0.06 (control) and 11.32 (enhanced UV-B) kJ $m^{-2}$ ; $UV-B_{BE}$] for 3 weeks. Contents of malondialdehyde and total carotenold were increased in Keunolkong compared with Danyeubkong by UV-B. In control plants, ascorbate level of Danyeubkong was 3 times higher than that of Keunolkong. The ratio of dehydroascorbate/ascorbate was highly increased in Keunolkong by UV-B . The activities of antioxidative enzyme such as superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, monodehydroascorbate reductase and glutathione reductase were increased in both cultivars by UV-B. This results indicate that enhanced UV-B caused oxidative stress in both two cultivars, especially in Keunolkong. Susceptibility of two soybean cultivars to UV-B is closely related to the levels of antioxidants such as carotenoid and ascorbate.

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) seedlings exposed to various concentrations of $CdC1_2$ (0∼100 $\mu$M) in the nutrient solution for up to 9 days were analyzed with the seedling growth, $H_2O_2$ production, glutathione levels and activity changes of enzymes related to $H_2O_2$ removal. The growth of seedlings was inhibited with over 50 $\mu$M Cd, whereas the levels of $H_2O_2$ and glutathione were enhanced with Cd exposure level and time. Meanwhile, Cd exposure increased the activities of catalase (CAT) and glutathione reductase (GR) but decreased the activities of dehydroascorbate acid reductase (DHAR) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) in both leaves and roots. These results suggest that the altered activities of antioxidant enzymes particularly involved in the $H_2O_2$ removal and the subsequent $H_2O$$_2$ accumulation could induce the Cd-induced phytotoxicity.

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) seedlings exposed to various concentrations of $CdCl_2(0{\sim}100{\mu}M)$ in a nutrient solution for up to 9 days were analyzed with respect to the thiol changes and oxidative stress. The Cd exposure increased total non-protein thiols (NPT) and cysteine in both leaves and roots, total glutathione in leaves, and the ratios of oxidized glutathione (GSSG)/reduced glutathione (GSH) in both leaves and roots, but decreased the ratio of dehydroascorbate (DASA)/ascorbate(ASA) in leaves. Our results suggest that the Cd-induced GSH depletion due to thiol synthesis and oxidation alters the antioxidant activity of seedlings for $H_2O_2$, and the subsequent $H_2O_2$ accumulationand oxidative stress result in phytotoxicity.

적변인삼의 원인 물질을 구명코저 인삼뿌리의 적변현상과 항산화 활성과의 상관관계를 조사하기 위하여 적변뿌리와 건전뿌리의 각 부위별 항산화 활성을 조사하였다. 적변삼의 표피와 피층조직의 superoxide dismutase(SOD) 활성(units/mg protein)은 각각 126.9와 79.6으로 정상뿌리에 비해 각각 3.5배, 2.0배 높았다. 적변뿌리의 catalase활성은 약 1.6배 높았으나, peroxidase 활성은 오히려 약간 낮았다. 적변뿌리 각 조직의 DPPH 자유라디칼 포착활성은 정상뿌리에 비해 약 2.0배 높았다. 정상뿌리의 ascorbate 함량은 조직에 따라 약간의 차이를 나타내었지만(166~240 $\mu$g/g fr. wt.), 산화형dehydroascorbate(DHA) 함량이 전체 ascorbate 함량의 약 97~79%를 차지하였다. 적변뿌리의 전체 ascorbate함량은 정상뿌리와 비슷하였지만 환원형 ascorbate의 함량은 조직에 따라 다르지만 정상뿌리에 비해 3.5~7.5배 높았다. 적변뿌리의 표피조직, 피층조직, 중심주 조직의 전체 glutathione 함량은 정상조직에 비해 각각 7.3배, 4.8배, 1.2배 높았다. 적변화에 따른 환원형 glutathione(GSH)과 산화형 glutathione(GSSG)의 함량비는 전체 glutathione 함량변화와 비슷하였다. 이상의 결과는 인삼의 적변조직은 어떤 외부스트레스에 의해 과다하게 발생되는 활성산소종을 제거하기 위하여 SOD 활성, 환원형 ascorbate 함량, 환원형 glutathione 함량이 크게 증가하는 것으로 사료된다.
