To obtain direct evidence for thed involvement of C-AB13, a carrot (Daucus carota L.) homolog of VPI/Ab13, seed-specific transcription factor, in the acquisition of desiccation tolerance carrot non-embryogenic cells (NC) in which the C-AB13 gene was expressed ectopically was prepared. Non-transgenic NC, in which expression of C-AB13 was not detected, did not exhibit desiccation tolerance even after treatment with abscisic acid (ABA). In transgenic NC that expressed C-AB13, embryo-specific ABA-inducible genes (ECP genes) were expressed upon ABA-treatment. Furthermore, the transgenic NC became desiccation-tolerant upon ABA-treatment, but not tolerate desiccation without ABA-treatment. These results provide direct evidence for the involvement of C-AB13 in the ABA-induced acquisition of desiccation tolerance.

본 연구는 죽절초의 현지외 보존 전략 수립을 위해 종자의 건조 내성과 저장성에 관한 정보를 얻고자 수행되었다. 이를 위해 죽절초 종자의 기본적인 발아 특성을 조사하고, 종자 함수율을 수준별로 조절하여 발아 특성 및 종자 침출수를 분석하였으며, 저장성 평가를 위해 저장 기간별 발아 특성을 조사하였다. 죽절초 종자의 탈종 직후 함수율은 32.8%였으며, 채취 직후의 종자는 함수율 4.8% 수준에서도 발아율 81.0%로 종자 활력과 종자세를 유지하였으나, 함수율 2.3%, 2.2%에서는 발아율이 각각 55.0%, 30.0%로 감소하였다. 반면, 저장된 종자는 함수율 18.6%에서 발아율이 93.3%로 높은 활력과 종자세를 유지하였으나, 함수율 5% 미만에서는 발아율이 20%이하로 활력과 종자세가 크게 감소하였다. 또한, 수준별로 건조한 종자의 침출수를 분석한 결과, 건조에 의해 발아 활력이 저하된 종자는 침출수의 전기전도도가 높게 나타났고, 침출수 내 K, Ca와 같은 무기질의 농도도 증가하였다. 결론적으로, 죽절초 종자는 난저장성 종자와 중간저장성 종자 사이의 건조 내성을 가지나, 노화 정도에 따라 건조 내성에 차이가 있고, 저장 수명이 짧은 단명종자로 판단된다.

The stress tolerance ability of Pelvetia canaliculata (L.) Dcne. Et Thur. and Fucus spiralis L. to temporary and periodic emersion stress was examined in order to test the following hypotheses: The upper shore alga, P. canaliculata is more tolerant to desiccation than F. spiralis in the germling stage and the former outgrows the latter under desiccation stress; Germling stress tolerance of the two species is age-specific; Crowding of germlings protects them from desiccation, irrespective of the species involved. Germling growth of the two species was retarded with increasing exposure period and was age-specific, as they were air-exposed at an earlier stage. After 16 days, the length of Pelvetia germlings was similar between 2-day-old germlings (125-140 ${\mu}m$) and 7-day-old germlings (134-140 ${\mu}m$), which were air-exposed during the same period (0, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h) at the two different ages. However, Fucus germlings were significantly larger at 7-day-old germlings (211-277 ${\mu}m$) than at 2-day-old germlings (184-278 ${\mu}m$), especially in the treatments of 48 and 72 h. These results indicate that Fuscus grow faster than Pelvetia and that the growth response of germlings to temporary emersion stress is more sensitive in Fucus than that in Pelvetia. Growth of germlings of both species was reduced with increasing density under favorable growth conditions (submerged control and 6 h / 12 h exposure treatments) in the periodic air-exposed experiments using tidal tanks, but was enhanced under severe emersion stress conditions. P. canaliculata showed better growth at 6 h exposure treatment than that of the control, under continuous submergence, indicating that Pelvetia germlings require a periodic exposure period. Fucus germlings always grew faster than those of Pelvetia and did best in mixed cultures, whereas Pelvetia did least well when mixed with Fucus germlings. The adverse effects of F. spiralis on P. canaliculata were greater than those of Pelvetia cohorts. The outcome of interspecific competition between F. spiralis and P. canaliculata gemlings was slightly altered by exposure period but not to such an extent as to change the outcome.

A simple and reliable cryo technique using desiccation and slow freezing of winter dormant buds was employed for 238 core collection of mulberry germplasm collected from diverse geographical regions and maintained under tropical conditions in the ex situ field gene bank to develop long-term biodiversity conservation for ensuring sustainable utilization of these valuable resources. Desiccation and freezing tolerance of bud grafts and excised shoot apices in the axillary buds of different Morus species under in vivo and in vitro condition indicated species-specific variation and most of the wild Morus species were found sensitive. In vitro regeneration and cryopreservation($-196^{\circ}C$) protocols using differentiated bud meristem like axillary winter dormant buds were worked out for a wide range of Morus species, land races, wild and cultivated varieties. Successful cryopreservation of mulberry winter dormant buds of different accessions belonging to M. indica, M. alba, M. latifolia, M. cathayana, M. laevigata, M. nigra, M. australis, M. bombycis, M. sinensis, M multicaulis and M. rotundiloba was achieved. Among wild species Morus tiliaefolia, and M. serrata showed moderate recovery after cryopreservation. Survival rates did not alter after three years of cryopreservation of different Morus species. ISSR markers were used to ascertain the genetic stability of cryopreserved mulberry, which showed no difference detected among the plantlets regenerated from frozen apices in comparison to the non-frozen material.

During ethanol fermentation, bacterial strains may encounter various stresses, such as ethanol and acid shock, which adversely affect cell viability and the production of ethanol. Therefore, ethanologenic strains that tolerate abiotic stresses are highly desirable. Bacteria of the genus Deinococcus are extremely resistant to ionizing radiation, ultraviolet light, and desiccation, and therefore constitute an important pool of extreme resistance genes. The irrE gene encodes a general switch responsible for the extreme radioresistance of D. radiodurans. Here, we present evidence that IrrE, acting as a global regulator, confers high stress tolerance to a Zymomonas mobilis strain. Expression of the gene protected Z. mobilis cells against ethanol, acid, osmotic, and thermal shocks. It also markedly improved cell viability, the expression levels and enzyme activities of pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase, and the production of ethanol under both ethanol and acid stresses. These data suggest that irrE is a potentially promising gene for improving the abiotic stress tolerance of ethanologenic bacterial strains.

국내의 건조분말 식품에서 분리한 Cronobacter spp.의 건조내성에 따른 열, 살균소독제, 항생제에 대한 내성특성 분석하여 Cronobacter spp.을 제어하는 효과적인 방법을 연구하고자 하였다. 분리된 37개의 건조저항 균주, 7개의 건조민감 균주, 그리고 68개의 중간그룹의 균주 총 112개에 대하여 분석한 결과 건조내성을 가지고 있는 Cronobacter spp.는 열에 대해서도 저항성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 조제분유등의 건조 스트레스에 노출되어 살아남은 Cronobacter spp.는 열 스트레스에서도 높은 내성을 보일수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 살균소독제를 이용한 Cronobacter spp.의 제어효능은 sodium hypochlorite는 15-25 ppm와 benzalkonium chloride는 5-15 ppm 농도에서 5 log CFU/mL 살균 효과가 있었다. Albumin으로 3%(w/v)오염시킨 부유세균의 살균력은 건조내성 균주와 건조민감 균주 모두에서 오염전과 비슷하여 유기물 오염상태에서도 살균소독제 효능에는 큰 영향을 주고 있지 않음을 알 수가 있었다. 그리고 항생제 내성은 $\beta$-lactam 계열의 ampicillin에 대하여 약 90% 분리주가 64-128 ppm의 농도에서 최소저해 농도를 보여 주었다. Aminoglycoside 계열의 kanamycin과 Gram(-) spectrum의 nalidixic acid에서 4 ppm의 가장 낮은 내성을 보였다. 건조민감 균주과 건조내성 균주의 최소저해농도 경우 전반적으로 모든 항생제에 대해서 건조 내성이 높은 균주가 더 큰 항생제 내성을 지니고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 분리 Cronobacter spp.의 건조내성이 열과 항생제의 저항성과 관련이 있는 것으로 보인다. 그러므로 조제분유와 같은 분말식품과 그 원료의 오염 Cronobacter spp.의 살균제어에 더 강력한 처리가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Water temperature is one of the major factors that impacts the growth and life cycle of Pyropia tenera, one of the most valuable and cultivated marine red algae belonging to Bangiales (Rhodophytes). We analyzed transcriptome from gametophyte of P. tenera under normal and high temperature conditions, and identified four small heat shock proteins (sHSPs). They have no significant amino acid sequence homology with known proteins in public databases except PhsHSP22 from Pyropia haitanensis. PtsHSP19.3 gene responded to high temperature but slightly or not to desiccation, freezing or high salt condition. When the PtsHSP19.3 gene was overexpressed in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, transformed Chlamydomonas lines revealed much higher growth rate than that of control cells under heat stress condition. Transformed cells also grew well in those of the control cell onto the medium containing high salt or $H_2O_2$. When the PtsHSP19.3 was fused to GFP and introduced into tobacco protoplast, fluorescence was detected at several spots. Results indicate that PtsHSP19.3 may form super-molecular assembles and be involved in tolerance to heat stress.

This research focuses primarily on the feasibility of applying bryophyte to man-made structures in modern urban environment. The study is based both on the role of bryophyte known in the process of the naturalization that life has come on the land and the physiological and ecological characteristics of bryophyte. The primary characteristics of this species lie in its desiccation-tolerance and poikilohydry that supports its enduring survival even under the desperate environmental conditions. The monitoring of applying bryophyte to man-made structures has shown us that bryophyte could control microclimate conditions, help to mitigate flood by reducing runoff, and lessen thermal conductivity, etc. The application of bryophyte to man-made structures has just started since 2002. Even though efforts to use bryophyte in greening man-made structures in Japan and Korea have resulted in both successes and failures, it is noticeable that there has been quite much technical progress in using this unique plant species.

Winter turfgrass injury is one of the critical problems of many golf courses in Korea. Turfgrass loss from freezing injury due to low temperature leads to many types of damages including weed invasion, increased herbicide cost, increased soil erosion, and expensive re-establishment. Although Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) which is the most widely used among cool-season grasses in Korea is well known as cold tolerance species, freezing injuries to Kentucky bluegrass during winter are often found. Protecting the turfgrass crown is necessary to recover from low temperature stress in winter because shoots and roots can be recovered from the crown. Turf covers may protect the crowns from direct low temperatures and desiccation. Six different turf covers were installed to cover Kentucky bluegrass during a period of low temperatures. Turf covers had positive effects for spring green-up of Kentucky bluegrass based on the study. Applying any type of turf covers on Kentucky bluegrass resulted in an increase average and minimum temperature compared to the uncovered plot. Among turf covers, clear PVC film without holes produced the longest root length and the highest turfgrass quality.
