Pepper defensin ( CADEFl) clone was isolated from cDNA library constructed from pepper leaves infected with avirulent strain Bv5-4a of Xanthomonu campestris pv. vesicatoria. The deduced amino acid sequence of CADEFl is 82-64％ identical to that of other plant defensins. Putative protein encoded by CADEFl gene consists of 78 amino acids and 8 conserved cysteine residues to form four structure-stabilizing disulfide bridges. Transcription of the CADEF1 gene was earlier and stronger induced by X campestris pv. vesicatoria infection in the incompatible than in the compatible interaction. CADEF1 mRNA was constitutively expressed in stem, root and green fruit of pepper. Transcripts of CADEFl gene drastically accumulated in pepper leaf tissues treated With Salicylic acid (SA), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), abscisic acid (ABA), hydrogen Peroxide (H$_2$O$_2$), benzothiadiazole (BTH) and DL-${\beta}$-amino-n-butyric acid (BABA). In situ hybridization results revealed that CADEF1 mRNA was localized in the phloem areas of vascular bundles in leaf tissues treated with exogenous SA, MeJA and ABA. Strong accumulation of CADEF1 mRNA occurred in pepper leaves in response to wounding, high salinity and drought stress. These results suggest that bacterial pathogen infection, abiotic elicitors and some environmental stresses may play a significant role in signal transduction pathway for CADEF1 gene expression.

고추 (Capsicum annum L.)의 잎, 과실 및 배양세포를 대상으로 capsidiol의 생산을 유도하기 위해 자외선, cellulase 및 jasmonic acid (JA)의 영향을 구명하였다. 배양세포는 cellulase 0.05 mg/L나 JA 0.1 mg/L처리로 세포의 capsidiol 생산을 위한 유도가 가능하였다. Elicitor를 처리한 배양세포는 자체 생성한 capsidiol의 독성에 의해 활력이 급격히 감소하여 48시간 이후에는 세포활력을 거의 잃어버리는 것으로 나타났다. 자외선 스트레스의 처리는 48시간의 처리로 고추 잎의 capsidiol의 함량을 최고 45.4배까지 증가시켰다. Cellulase 0.05 mg/L또는 JA 1.0mg/L를 식물의 잎 표면이나 과실의 기부에 미세주사기로 주입하면, 잎은 elicitor를 주입한 부위로부터 합성된 capsidiol의 독성으로 병반이 확대되어 가는 것을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 과실에서도 elicitor의 주입에 의해 병반이 확산되며 elicitor를 주입한 과실에서 capsidiol의 생성이 확인되었다.

Callus cultures of Azadirachta indica flower petals were established on MS medium supplemented with naphthalene acetic acid (1 mg/L), kinetin (0.5 mg/L) and sucrose $(3\%\;w/v)$. Cell cultures of Azadirachta indica were established and studied the growth and production kinetics. Half 85 medium supplemented with dicamba (2 mg/L), kinetin (1 mg/L) and sucrose $(3\%\;w/v)$ was found to be suitable for initiation and maintenance of cell cultures from the calli. MS medium supplemented with naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (1 mg/L), kinetin (0.5 mg/L) and sucrose $(3\%\;w/v)$ was found to be suitable as production medium. Around $80\%\;(0.05\%\;w/v)$ of azadirachtin was found to be intracellular. The effect of various precursors, elicitors, permeabilizing agents and growth retardants in cell cultures was studied. The addition of precursors sodium acetate (10 mg/L), squalene (10 mg/L), isopentenyl pyrophosphate (1 mg/L) and geranyl pyrophosphate (1 mg/L) to the cell cultures on day 3 has shown significant increase in bioproduction of azadirachtin $(64.94{\pm}4.40\;mg/L,\;72.81{\pm}0.04\;mg/L,\;51.63{\pm}1.26\;mg/L\;and\;30.70{\pm}0.28\;mg/L\;respectively)$ over the control cultures $(4.70{\pm}0.27 mg/L)$. $5\%$ v/v cell extracts of Fusarium solani has shown moderate increase in the content of azadirachtin $(5.71{\pm}0.34\;mg/L)$ when compared to control cultures $(2.40{\pm}0.56\;mg/L)$. The addition of methyl jasmonate $(500\;{\mu}M/L)$ on day 3 has shown $\~4$ fold improvement in bioproduction of azadirachtln $(6.92{\pm}0.11\;mg/L)$ when compared to control cultures $(1.63{\pm}0.02\;mg/L)$. There was no significant effect of the studied growth retardants and permeabilizing agents on bioproduction of azadirachtin. Cells are cultivated in large volumes using the effective precursors.

Growth and tropane alkaloids(hyoscyamine and scopolamine) contents were studied in root cultures from Scopolia paruiflora. All excised roots grew well, even without an addition of a growth regulators. Scopolia roots could be divided scopolamine-rich species. Among the culture media, SH medium was the best for tropane alkaloids production from the hairy roots, whereas the growth increased in SH medium. In precusor experiments, feeding of hyoscyamine was promotive for scopolamine formation. Abiotic elicitors made a slightly production promotion effect.

Camptothecin productoin was increased with elicitors, methyl jasmonate, jasmonic acid, yeast extract elicitor, and ferulic acid in suspension cultures of Camptotheca acuminata. Jasmonic acid was found to be the most efficient elicitor. Camptothecin production increased 11 times by using the optimum dosing concentration of jasmonic acid which was 50 ${\mu}$M. The kinetics of camptothecin accumulation in response to the treatment with jasmocin acid showed that the comptothecin accumulation reached the maximum value at 4 days after jasmonic acid dosing and then a rapid decrease in camptothecin accumulation was observed.

Plants generally produce secondary metabolites in nature as a defense mechanism against pathogenic and insect attack. In this study, we applied several abiotic elicitors in order to enhance growth and ginseng saponin biosynthesis in the hairy roots of P. ginseng. Generally, elicitor treatments were found to inhibit the growth of the hairy roots, although simultaneously enhancing ginseng saponin biosynthesis. The addition of selenium at inoculum time did not significantly affect ginseng saponin biosynthesis. However, when 0.5 mM selenium was added as an elicitor after 21 days of culture, ginseng saponin content and productivity increased to about 1.31 and 1.33 times control levels, respectively. These results suggest that processing time for the generation of ginseng saponin in a hairy root culture can be reduced via the application of an elicitor.

In contrast to animals, plants do not have a circulatory system as well as mobile immune cells that allow them to protect themselves against pathogens. Instead, plants exclusively depend on the innate immune system to defend against pathogens. As typically observed in the animal innate immunity, plant immune responses are composed of pathogen detection, defense signaling which includes transcriptional reprogramming, and secretion of antimicrobial compounds. Although knowledge on recognition and subsequent signaling of pathogen-derived molecules called elicitors is now expanding, the mechanisms of how these immune molecules are excreted are yet poorly understood. Therefore, current understandings of how plants secrete defense products especially via exocytosis will be discussed in this review.

In order to improve anthocyanin production, effects of fungal elicitation in hairy root culture were investigated. fungal elicitor prepared from Fusarium moniliforme was the best in enhancement of anthocyanin production among the eight fungal elicitors tested. The optimum treat-ment time and concentration of treated elicitor for anthocyanin production were 12 hours and 3.28 mg carbohydrates per liter medium. Also, fungal elicitor was treated to hairy root culture in flat-bottomed fluidized-bed bioreactor. The anthocyanin production of elicited culture was enhanced 227% than non-treated.

Ephedra olistachya cultures have been known to accumulate $rho-coumaroylamino$ acids by elicitor treatment. Based on their chemical structures, the biosynthetic pathway of$rho-coumaroylamino$acids was postulated and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase (4-CH) and p-coumaroyl CoA: D-Ala p-coumaroyltransferase ($rho-CT$) were supposed to be involved in the pathway. The time course inductions of these enzymes were investigated after treatment of yeast extract, yeast-derived mannan glycopeptide and D-Ala. They were detectable at only 4 hours and reached to their maximum level at 9 hours after onset of elicitor treatment. The activities of PAL and 4-CH were almost disappeared within 24 hours, however, that of $rho-CT$was remained up to 48 hours irrespective of the kind of elicitors. $rho-CT$ showed substrate specificity to D-Ala at crude enzyme extract level.
