This study is focused on the evaluation of growth parameters, total polyphenol content (TPC), chlorophyll content as well as the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity of young barley seedling (YBS) affected by elicitation. Salicylic acid (SA), methyl jasmonate (MJ), amino acid liquid fertilizer (ALF) and microbial metabolism activator (MMA) were used. Elicitation was conducted for two times and various concentrations were used in this study. The result revealed that, MJ 1 ml/L treated-YBS gave the longest seedling length of 1.33 cm, followed by the ones treated with SA 1.38 mg/L and ALF 2 ml/L, respectively. ALF 3 ml/L treatment gave the highest fresh weight of 10 seedlings, followed by MJ 5 ml/L and SA 13.8 mg/L treatment with 1.56 g, 1.55 g and 1.53 g respectively. SA 138.12 mg/L elicitor treated-YBS gave the highest Chl a, Chl b content of $8.57{\mu}g/mg$ and $3.83{\mu}g/mg$, respectively while the highest carotenoid content was found in MJ ml/L treatment with $1.62{\mu}g/mg$. Among elicitor treated-YBS, SA showed better TPC. The highest TPC was found in SA 1.38 mg/L treatment with 18.82 mg/g TAE. Likewise, SA 1.38 mg/L showed the highest DPPH free radical scavenging activity among all the treatments. However, the lowest TPC was found in ALF 1ml/L treated-YBS with 9.46 mg/g TAE, which was even lower than the control (14.31 mg/g TAE).

A series of fluorine and hydroxyl containing jasmonate derivatives, which were chemically synthesized in our institute, were investigated for their effects on the biosynthesis and heterogeneity of ginsenosides in suspension cultures of Panax notoginseng cells. Com-pared to the control (without addition of elicitors), $100{\mu}M$ of each of the jasmonate was added on day 4 to the suspension cultures of P. notoginseng cells. It was observed that, jasmonates greatly enhanced the ginsenoside content and the ratio of Rb group to Rg group (i.e. $(Rb_1\;+\;Rd)/(Rg_1\;+\;Re)$ in the P. notoginseng cells. Some of the synthetic jasmonates, such as pentafluoropropyl jasmonate (PFPJA), 2-hydroxyethyl jasmonate (HEJA) and 2-hydroxye-thoxyethyl jasmonate (HEEJA), could promote the ginsenoside content to $2.55\;\pm\;0.11,\;3.65\;\pm\;0.13\;and\;2.94\;\pm\;0.06$mg/100 mg DW, respectively, compared to that of $0.64\;\pm\;0.06$mg/100 mg DW for the control and $2.17\;\pm\;0.04$ mg/100 mg DW by the commercially available methyl jasmonate (MJA); and they could change the respective Rb:Rg ratio to $1.60\;\pm\;0.04,\;1.87\;\pm\;0.01\;and\;1.56\;\pm\;0.05$, compared to that of $0.47\;\pm\;0.01$ for the control and $1.42\;\pm\;0.06$ by MJA. The results suggest that suitable esterification of MJA with fluorine or hydroxyl group could in-crease the elicitation activity to induce plant secondary metabolism. The information obtained from this study is useful for hyper-production of heterogeneous products by plant cell cultures.

Background: Culturing wild ginseng adventitious root using plant factory technology provides genetic safety and high productivity. This production technology is drawing attention in the fields of functional raw materials and product development. The cultivation method using elicitors is key technology for controlling biomass and increasing secondary metabolites. Methods and Results: Elicitor treatments using methyl jasmonate, pyruvic acid, squalene, β-sistosterol were performed to amplify total ginsenosides (Rb1, Rc, Rb2, Rb3, and Rd) of cultured wild ginseng adventitious root. Thereafter, fermentation and steaming processes were performed to convert total ginsenosides into minor molecular ginsenosides (Rg3, Rk1, and Rg5). The result indicated that methyl jasmonate minimizes the reduction in fresh weight of cultured wild ginseng adventitious root and maximizes total ginsenosides (sum of Rb1, Rc, Rb2, Rb3, and Rd). Ginsenoside conversion results showed a maximum degree of conversion of 131 mg/g. Conclusions: In this study, we demonstrated that the optimal elicitor treatment method increased the content of total ginsenosides, while the steaming and fermentation processing method increased the content of minor ginsenosides.

Spot blotch disease of wheat caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana (Sacc.) Shoem is considered as an economically important disease which affects all the growing stages of wheat crop. Therefore, it is important to search some effective management strategies against the spot blotch pathogen. Some synthetic elicitor compounds (salicylic acid, isonicotinic acid, and chitosan) and nano-particles (silver and aluminum) were tested against the pathogen to observe the change in biochemical activity and defense action of wheat plant against spot blotch disease. All the tested elicitor compounds and nano-particles showed a significant increase in activity of peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and total phenol over control. The highest increase in activity of peroxidase was recorded at 72 h from chitosan at 2 mM and 96 h from silver nano-particle at 100 ppm. Maximum PPO and total phenol activity were recorded from chitosan at 2 mM and silver nano-particle at 100 ppm as compared to pathogen-treated and healthy control. The lowest percent disease index, lowest no. of spots/leaf, and no. of infected leaves/plant were found in silver nano-particle at 100 ppm and chitosan at 2 mM, respectively. The use of defense inducer compounds results in significantly up-regulated enzymatic activity and reduced spot blotch disease. Therefore, chitosan and silver nano-particle could be used as alternative methods for the management of spot blotch disease.

A full-length cDNA encoding taxadiene synthase (designated as TmTXS), which catalyzes the first committed step in the Taxol biosynthetic pathway, was isolated from young leaves of Taxus media by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The full-length cDNA of TmTXS had a 2586 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a protein of 862 amino acid residues. The deduced protein had isoelectric point (pI) of 5.32 and a calculated molecular weight of about 98 kDa, similar to previously cloned diterpene cyclases from other Taxus species such as T. brevifolia and T. chinenisis. Sequence comparison analysis showed that TmTXS had high similarity with other members of terpene synthase family of plant origin. Tissue expression pattern analysis revealed that TmTXS expressed strongly in leaves, weak in stems and no expression could be detected in fruits. This is the first report on the mRNA expression profile of genes encoding key enzymes involved in Taxol biosynthetic pathway in different tissues of Taxus plants. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that TmTXS had closest relationship with taxadiene synthase from T. baccata followed by those from T. chinenisis and T. brevifolia. Expression profiles revealed by RT-PCR under different chemical elicitor treatments such as methyl jasmonate (MJ), silver nitrate (SN) and ammonium ceric sulphate (ACS) were also compared for the first time, and the results revealed that expression of TmTXS was all induced by the tested three treatments and the induction effect by MJ was the strongest, implying that TmTXS was high elicitor responsive.

키토산을 농도별로 처리하여 재배한 콩나물의 조사포닌은 대조구에 비해 모두 키토산을 처리한 콩나물에서 더 많이 증가하였다. 생장기간 별로 키토산을 처리했을 때, 생장 $5{\sim}6$일째 조사포닌 함량이 가장 높았으며 대조구, 2,000, 1,000, 500 ppm 그리고 250 ppm 농도로 키토산을 처리한 콩나물 순서로 조사포닌 함량이 증가하였다가 7일째에는 감소하였다. 키토산을 농도별로 처리한 콩나물에서 그룹 B 사포닌의 함량을 분석하였을 때 soyasaponin I 은 250 ppm 처리구 콩나물에서 가장 높았으며 더 높은 농도로 처리했을 때에는 키토산의 농도에 따라서 함량이 감소하였다. Soyasaponin II의 함량은 대조구 콩나물보다 키토산 처리구 콩나물이 키토산의 농도를 증가시켜 처리하였을 때 증가하여 1,000 ppm을 처리했을 때 최고값을 보이다가 더 높은 농도인 2,000ppm을 처리했을 때에는 감소하였다. 하지만 콩나물 재배중 키토산 처리는 soyasaponin V의 함량변화에는 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. Sovasaponin III과 IV의 함량은 soyasaponin II와 비슷하게 키토산을 1,000 ppm 처리할 때까지 농도에 따라 증가하였으나 유의적인 차이는 아니었으며 2,000 ppm 키토산 처리구에서는 약간 감소하였다.

BACKGROUND: Soil salinity causes reduction of crop productivity. Rhizosphere microbes have metabolic capabilities and ability to adaptation of plants to biotic and abiotic stresses. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) could play a role as elicitors for inducing tolerance to stresses in plants by affecting resident microorganism in soil. This study was conducted to demonstrate the effect of selected strains on rhizosphere microbial community under salinity stress. METHODS AND RESULTS: The experiments were conducted in tomato plants in pots containing field soil. Bacterial suspension was inoculated into three-week-old tomato plants, one week after inoculation, and -1,000 kPa-balanced salinity stress was imposed. The physiological and biochemical attributes of plant under salt stress were monitored by evaluating pigment, malondialdehyde (MDA), proline, soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and ion concentrations. To demonstrate the effect of selected Bacillus strains on rhizosphere microbial community, soil microbial diversity and abundance were evaluated with Illumina MiSeq sequencing, and primer sets of 341F/805R and ITS3/ITS4 were used for bacterial and fungal communities, respectively. As a result, when the bacterial strains were inoculated and then salinity stress was imposed, the inoculation decreases the stress susceptibility including reduction in lipid peroxidation, enhanced pigmentation and proline accumulation which subsequently resulted in better plant growth. However, bacterial inoculations did not affect diversity (observed OTUs, ACE, Chao1 and Shannon) and structure (principle coordinate analysis) of microbial communities under salinity stress. Furthermore, relative abundance in microbial communities had no significant difference between bacterial treated- and untreated-soils under salinity stress. CONCLUSION: Inoculation of Bacillus strains could affect plant responses and soil pH of tomato plants under salinity stress, whereas microbial diversity and abundance had no significant difference by the bacterial treatments. These findings demonstrated that Bacillus strains could alleviate plant's salinity damages by regulating pigments, proline, and MDA contents without significant changes of microbial community in tomato plants, and can be used as effective biostimulators against salinity stress for sustainable agriculture.

Red beet(Beta vulagris L.) 모상근의 회분배양을 이용한 천연색소인 betacyanin 생산 최적화를 위해 광도, C/N ratio, 인산의 농도를 각각 변화시켜 세포생육과 색소 생산성에 관한 동력학적 분석을 실시했다. 광도변화에 따른 배양 결과 3 klux의 경우 0.3(1/day)의 최대 비 생육속도와 0.11(mg/g-dry cell/day)의 최대 비 생산속도 그리고 14 k1ux에서 0.242(1/day)의 최대 비 생육속도와 0.125(mg/g-dry cell/day)의 최대 비 생산속도를 나타냈다. 광도와 균체의 생육관계를 검토한 결과 광도에 따른 세포 생육은 photoinhibition model이 적용됨이 확인되었다. Red beet 모상근으로부터 betacyanin의 생산은 partially growth related process임이 입증됐다. 이에 따른 세포당 최대 betacyanin 생산을 나타내는 $\alpha$는 0.3756 (mg/cell)이며, 최대 생산속도를 나타내는 $\beta$는 0.001 (mg/g-cel1/day)로 측정됐다. C/N ratio에 따른 실험결과 42.1(w/w)에서 0.26(1/day)의 최대 비생육 속도를 나타내었으나 최대 비 생산속도는 31.6(w/w)에서 0.075(mg/g-cell/day)를 나타냈다. 인 농도에 대한 균체의 생육 및 물질 생산성의 관계를 검토한 결과 1.25mM에서 0.31(1/day)의 비생육 속도와 0.134(mg/g-dry cell/day) 비생산 속도를 나타내었다. 최적 조건을 결정하기 위한 response surface methodology(RSM)결과 세포 생육과 betacyanin의 최대 생산을 위한 최적 광도는 5.5 (klux),최적 C/N ratio와 인의 농도는 27(w/w), 1.25 (mM)로 결정됐다. 그리고 0.1 $\mu$M kinetin 첨가시 대조구에 비해 비생산성이 0.085(mg/g-dry cell/day)로 증가함이 입증됐다. Normal조건과 optimum조건의 비교결과 세포의 농도인 X(g-dry wt./L)가 8와 16, betacyanin의 생산량인 P(mg/L)가 4.48과 12.5, 그리고 optimum 조건에서 최대비 생육속도인 $\mu$$_{max}$ 가 0.375와 그리고 최대비 생산속도인 q$^{max}$ $_{p}$ 는 0.134로 약 2배로서 최적화가 되었다.
