Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) is known to be as a negative feedback regulator in Janus kinase signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling. Highly conserved SOCS box domain was cloned from a Korean malaria vector, Anopheles sinensis. Sequence analysis indicates that it has identity to Anopheles gambiae (96%), Aedes aegypti (94%), Drosophila melanogaster (78%), Mus musculus (72%) and Homo sapiens (72%), respectively. Tissue specificity RT-PCR demonstrated that the expression level of AsSOCS transcript was high at abdomen, midgut, and ovary, whereas developmental expression patterns showed that the level of AsSOCS was high at egg, early pupae, and adult female. On the other hand, RT-PCR analysis after bacterial challenge showed that SOCS mRNA was strongly induced in larvae. In addition, it was also induced by various immune elicitors such as lipoteicoic acid, CpG-DNA, and laminarin. It seems that AsSOCS, repressor of JAK-STAT pathway, is highly conserved in mosquito, and may play an important role in mosquito innate immune response.

Some ammonium oxalate soluble pectic fragments prepared from cultured cell wall of Ephycla distrahya elicited the accumulation of p-coumarocylamino acids (p-CAA) in E. distachya cultures while water soluble and alkali soluble fractions had no activity. Partial purification of the pectic fragments fraction using DEAE-cellulose chromatography afforded two active fractions (PS-I and PS-II) which were composed of mainly uronic acids (98-99 w/w %). They elicited the accumulation of p-CAA in an amount of 52-60 nmol per gram fresh weight of cultures. The acidic sugar compositions of PS-I and PS-II were found to be galacturonic acid and glucuronic acid by TLC analysis. They were supposed to act as endogenous elicitors of p-CAA accumulation. In order to investigate the effect of ethylene on p-CAA accumulation, Ethrel, which is known as ethylene generator, and ACC(1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid), a direct precusor of ethylene biosynthesis, were added to the culture. However, they did not glycopeptide elicitor [(Con A-II)], either. Consequently, no relationships between ethylene and p-CAA accumulation were recognized. Several tentative elicitors were teted for their activity. Commercial yeast glucan, $CuCl_2$, laminarin and laminariheptaose had slight activity whereas ${\alpha}$-methylmannopyranoside and commercial yeast mannan had no elicitor activity. ${\alpha}$-methylmannopyranoside which has been known as a tentative inhibitor of glucan elicitor in Glycine max did not affect on the elicitor activity of Con A-II.

자리공 엽절편에 Agrobacterium tumefaciens $A_4$T을 접종하여 암상태에서 초기 접종량의 139배로 분지능이 높고 성장률이 우수한 모상근 세포주인 PEH2를 선발하였다. 선발된 모상근으로부터 생리활성 물질인 Phytolaccoside G 및 D2를 IR, Mass, NMR등으로 동정하였다. 모상근 PEH2의 성장은 SH배지에서 가장 양호하였으며, 암상태 보다 광상태에서 배양하였을 때 40% 성장이 억제되었으며, betalain의 생성은 white 배지에서 가장 양호하였다. 배지별 Phytolaccoside G와 D2의 생성은 MS배지에서 암상태로 배양하였을 때 가장 양호하였으며, SH 및 . White 배지에서는 암상태보다 광상태에서 높은 생성을 나타내어 phytolaccoside G와 D2의 생성은 광에너지에 의하여 조절됨을 확인하였다. 자리공 모상근에서 betalain 및 phytolaccoside G와 D2의 생산성을 향상시키기 위한 방안으로 처리한 elicitor 을 처리하였던 바, 모상근의 성장은 억제되었으나, chitosan 및, yeast extract에 의하여 betalain 및 Phytolaccoside G와 D2의 생성이 촉진되어 적절한 elicitor와 광의 조합처리는 자리공 모상근으로부터 betalain 및 Phytolaccoside G와 D2의 생산성을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The potential of. nonpathogenic Fusarium oxysporum strain Avr5, either alone or in combination with chitosan and Bion, for inducing defense reaction in tomato plants inoculated with F. oxysporum f. sp lycopersici, was studied in vitro and glasshouse conditions. Application Bion at concentration of 5, 50, 100 and $500{\mu}g$/ml, and the highest concentration of chitosan reduced in vitro growth of the pathogen. Nonpathogenic F. oxysporum Avr5 reduced the disease severity of Fusarium wilt of tomato in split plants, significantly. Bion and chitosan applied on tomato seedlings at concentration $100{\mu}g$ a.i./plant; 15, 10 and 5 days before inoculation of pathogen. All treatments significantly reduced disease severity of Fusarium wilt of tomato relative to the infected control. The biggest disease reduction and increasing tomato growth belong to combination of nonpathogenic Fusarium and Bion. Growth rate of shoot and root markedly inhibited in tomato plants in response to tomato Fusarium wilt as compared with healthy control. These results suggest that reduction in disease incidence and promotion in growth parameters in tomato plants inoculated with nonpathogenic Fusarium and sprayed with elicitors could be related to the synergistic and cooperative effect between them, which lead to the induction and regulation of disease resistance. Combination of elicitors and non-pathogenic Fusarium synergistically inhibit the growth of pathogen and provide the first experimental support to the hypothesis that such synergy can contribute to enhanced fungal resistance in tomato. This chemical could provide a new approach for suppression of tomato Fusarium wilt, but its practical use needs further investigation.

Forest tree species usually takes for long periods to be harvested and cultivated but spearmints are a good model system for woody plant because of reducing and shortening cultivation time. Spearmints are good model plants (Mentha species) for research about terpenoids production and industrial essential oil manufacture. Isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase (Iso) and limonene synthase (Limo) are the key enzymes of terpenoid biosynthesis pathway. Transgenic and wild spearmints (Mentha spicata, MS) were cultured in vitro and assessed for the essential oil contents. The content of essential oil of transgenic spearmint also was enhanced slightly depending on the target terpenoid genes. In an attempt to increase productivity of terpenoids further, salt and fungal elicitation strategy was adopted on transgenic Mentha spicata. The salt (800 mM NaCl) as abiotic and two fungi (Botrytis cinerea and Glomerella cingulata) as biotic were used for elicitors. In the absence of salt stress four terpenoids were detected from the spearmint extracts, all of them being monoterpenes. On the other hand, the transgenic (MSIso) extracts contained eleven terpenoids (10 monoterpenes and 1 phenylpropene) while transgenic (MSLimo) extracts contained seven monoterpenes. After 3 days of fungal infection, the resistance indices further increased to 4.38, 3.89 and 2.04 for wild type, MSIso and MSLimo, respectively. The salt and fungal elicitators proved beneficial towards modifying both the terpenoids profile and improvement in the composition of essential oil. These results have important applications for the large-scale production of essential oils and forest biotechnology with respect to spearmint.

The effects of biotic elicitors, organic acids, and environmental changes on the growth of Panex. ginseng hairy roots were investigated in the shaking flask culture. Among the organic acid tested, gluconic acid was found to be the most efficient in the hairy roots growth. And citric and succinic acid were facilitated the growth of hairy roots.

참당귀(Angelica gigas Nakai) 현탁세포의 면역 증강성 다당의 생산을 증진시키기 위하여 초기 당농도와 생장조절제인 2,4-D의 농도를 변화시켰다. 당의 농도를 높일수록 세포의 생장과 ECP의 생산은 각각 1.6배, 1.1배 증가하여 효과적이었다. 2,4-D는 첨가하지 않은 것이 세포의 생장이 대조군에 비해 1.2배 높았지만, ECP의 생산의 경우 2mg/L 2,4-D를 첨가한 경우 대조군에 비해 10% 이상 더 생산되었다. 또한 배양 중 여러 가지의 elicitor를 첨가함으로써 ECP의 생산을 증진시키기 위하여 fungal elicitor들을 처리한 결과 Verticillium dahliae 90 mg/L을 배양 4일째에 처리한 경우 세포의 생장을 다소 저해시킨 반면, ECP 생산량이 1.7배나 증가함을 확인하였다.
