지속적인 수분 stress 또는 ABA 처리에 따른 주요 경제 수종들의 생리생태학적 수분특성을 밝히기 위하여 생육기 및 일중 측정 시간대 별 기공증산저항과 증산율을 조사하였다. 졸참나무, 신갈나무, 상수리나무, 굴참나무를 포함하는 4종의 참나무류가 시험재료로 이용되었으며 물푸레나무 또한 참나무류와 함께 분석되었다. 건, 습 두가지의 토양 수분 조건으로 처리된 1년생 실생 용기묘를 대상으로 Li-Cor사의 LI-1600 Porometer를 이용하여 6, 8, 9월에 기공증산저항을 반복 측정하였다. 기공의 움직임과 증산에 미치는 ABA의 효과를 알아보기 위해 7월에 0.5mM, 8월에 0.05mM의 ABA 용액을 용기 실생묘에서 절단한 줄기에 흡수시켰다. 대부분의 기공증산저항 측정치는 처리 종류에 관계없이 일출 후 오전에 약 5s/cm에 머물렀다. 그러나 그 값들은 건조구에 속한 묘목에서 오후 중에 자주 20s/cm 이상의 높은 수준으로 변동했다. 여러 가지 처리 및 환경 조건에 관계없이 굴참나무의 기공증산저항은 졸참나무 또는 상수리나무의 경우보다 안정된 값을 보였다. 물푸레나무의 측정치들은 참나무류에 비해 더욱 불규칙한 변화를 보였다. 묘목 절단지에 흡수된 ABA 용액은 대부분의 대상 수종에서 기공증산저항을 증가시켰다. ABA 처리에 대한 기공의 반응은 7월에 굴참나무 및 상수리나무에 비해 졸참나무에서 보다 예민하게 나타났다. 그러나 8월에는 ABA 처리의 영향이 상수리나무에서 보다 크게 나타났다. 물푸레나무에서 ABA에 대한 반응은 다양한 변화 양상 때문에 분명하지 않았다.

The plants of Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. NC2326 were germinated in 10 cm D$\times$20 cm H polyethylene pot, and sand-cultured with Hoagland solution near by the window of laboratory room(26$\pm$5$^{\circ}C$). The growing plants were sprayed with various concentrations of ABA around 9 : 00 a.m. once in every two days for 12 weeks in summer. As the results, frequency of stomatal number, stomatal opening, chlorophyll content, respiration rate, and protein content in the leaves were decreased with the increasing of concentrations of ABA, respectively. The plant growth was inhibited by exogenous ABA, but leaf abscission was not found during the experimental period. The ratio of three to one in chlorophyll a to b was not altered by exogenous ABA. All the stomata were closed within three minutes by 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA and within seven minutes by 1-10 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA after the spraying of ABA, and then reopended after a few hours in 1-10 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA and after 24 hours in 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA. The polar movement of chloroplast within the guard cells was found in the higher concentrations of 10 and 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA, but not found in the lower concentrations than 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA. During the night and weak light, it was fond that the inhibition of respiration rate by the higher concentration of ABA was owing to firstly the stomatal closure by the spraying of ABA and secondly the decrease of stomatal frequency by the inhibition of stomatal development with exogenous ABA for the long period of 12 weeks. In the band number of leaf protein by the electrophoresis, most of the protein bands were disappeared by the higher concentration of 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$ ml-1 ABA, but were not altered by the lower concentration of ABA in comparison with control.

Effects of abscisic acid(ABA) and temperature on the anthocyanin accumulation and phenylalanine ammonia Iyase(PAL) activity were investigated in seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana. In time course study, exogenous application of ABA $(50-1000\;{\mu}M)$ led to a noticeable increase in anthocyanin pigments which persisted over the following 5 days. Anthocyanins increased in concert with the chlorophyll loss. The activity of PAL, a key enzyme in the phenylpropanoid pathway, increased on exposure to ABA and reached maximum on the 4th day, This result shows that anthocyanin synthesis and PAL activity have a close physiological relationships. In the effects of temperatures ($10^{\circ}C,\;17^{\circ}C,\;25^{\circ}C$and $30^{\circ}C$) on anthocyanin accumulation and PAL activity in seedlings, a moderate-low temperatures ($17^{\circ}C$) enhanced both anthocyanin content and PAL activity, whereas elevated temperatures ($30^{\circ}C$) showed low levels of anthocyanin and PAL activity, suggesting a correlation between temperature-induced anthocyanin synthesis and the accumulation of PAL mRNA. Simultaneous application of ABA with temperatures Induced higher anthocyanin synthesis and PAL activity in seedlings than ABA or temperature stress alone. Moderate-low temperature with ABA exposure elicited the maximal induction of anthocyanin synthesis and PAL activity. Therefore, ABA treatment significantly increased thermotolerance in .A. thalinan seedlings. Ethephon and ABA showed similar mode of action in physiological effects on anthocyanin accumulation and PAL activity. Our data support that anthocyanins may be protective in preventing damage caused by environmental stresses and play an important role in the acquisition of freezing tolerance.

본 실험은 착색 불안정 때문에 재배적 어려움이 있는 '거봉'포도를 이용하여 변색기에 ABA를 농도별로 처리하여 봄으로써 착색증진을 위한 최적의 처리 농도를 구명하고자 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. ABA의 처리 농도에 따라 과방중량과 과립중량은 약간 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 유의차가 인정되지 않았다. 가용성 고형물과 적정산 함량 역시 생장기간 내내 처리구간에 유의차가 인정되지 않았다. PAL 효소의 활성은 각 처리구 공히 처리후 급속히 증가 하다가 감소하는 경향을 보였는데, ABA 처리농도가 높으면 높을수록 증감의 폭은 더욱 커졌다. 또한 처리농도가 높을수록 최종수확기에 가서도 다른 처리구에 비해 높은 수준을 유지하였다. 안토시아닌 함량은 모든 처리구에서 생육기간 동안 계속 증가하는 경향을 보였고, ABA 처리농도가 높아짐에 따라 더 높은 함량을 나타내었는데, 특히 ABA 1000 mg/L 처리구는 최종수확기에 무처리구에 비해 2.5배 이상의 함량을 나타내었다. 과피의 전페놀 함량은 안토시아닌 함량과 마찬가지로 모든 처리구에서 생육기간 내내 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, ABA의 처리농도가 높아짐에 따라 더 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 가용성당 함량은 과당과 포도당만이 검출되었으며, 자당은 전혀 검출되지 않았다. 과당과 포도당 함량 역시 변색기 이후 계속 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 처리구간에 큰 차이는 보이지 않았다.

Phytocystatins (PhyCYSs) are plant-specific proteinaceous inhibitors that are implicated in protein turnover and stress responses. Here, we characterized a PhyCYS from Arabidopsis thaliana, which was designated AtCYS5. RT-qPCR analysis showed that the expression of AtCYS5 in germinating seeds was induced by heat stress (HS) and exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) treatment. Analysis of the expression of the ${\beta}-glucuronidase$ reporter gene under the control of the AtCYS5 promoter showed that AtCYS5 expression during seed germination was induced by HS and ABA. Constitutive overexpression of AtCYS5 driven by the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter led to enhanced HS tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis, which was characterized by higher fresh weight and root length compared to wild-type (WT) and knockout (cys5) plants grown under HS conditions. The HS tolerance of AtCYS5-overexpressing transgenic plants was associated with increased insensitivity to exogenous ABA during both seed germination and post-germination compared to WT and cys5. Although no HS elements were identified in the 5'-flanking region of AtCYS5, canonical ABA-responsive elements (ABREs) were detected. AtCYS5 was upregulated in ABAtreated protoplasts transiently co-expressing this gene and genes encoding bZIP ABRE-binding factors (ABFs and AREB3). In the absence of ABA, ABF1 and ABF3 directly bound to the ABREs in the AtCYS5 promoter, which activated the transcription of this gene in the presence of ABA. These results suggest that an ABA-dependent pathway plays a positive role in the HS-responsive expression of AtCYS5 during seed germination and post-germination growth.

To examine the relationship between plant hormones and the development of pepper anthracnose, we investigated the effects of several plant hormones on the progression of disease symptoms. Of the five plant hormones examined, abscisic acid (ABA) increased the lesion length and disease incidence on detached fruits of Capsicum annuum cv. Nokkwang. The simultaneous application of ABA with inoculation of Colletotrichum acutatum JC24 resulted in increased lesion length, depending the concentration of ABA applied. Additionally, application of ABA caused the development of pepper anthracnose in fruits of Capsicum baccatum cvs. PBC80 and PBC81, which were previously resistant to the disease. Furthermore, ABA administration rendered increased pathogenicity of other isolates of C. acutatum BAC02063, PECH10, and TCBNU3 obtained from the Chinese matrimony vine, peach, and tea tree, respectively. Our data suggest that exogenous ABA may result in the suppression of defense mechanisms of pepper fruits against anthracnose, which leads to a change in the susceptibility of pepper fruits and the development of pepper anthracnose.

Changes in the proline accumulation of ten-day-old seedlings of Vigna angularis in response to NaCl treatment were monitored. The proline content increased gradually both with an increase in the exposure time to salt stress and in a concentration-dependent manner. The increased proline accumulation was stronger in the shoots than in the roots. The salt stress by itself resulted in a significant inhibition of the chlorophyll content. Pre-treatment with proline before salinization lasting 48 h did not significantly affect the endogenous proline level in the roots, in contrast, a considerable increase of proline was observed in the shoots. The application of exogenous proline to the seedlings increased the endogenous proline content and improved the root and shoot growth under saline conditions. Detached leaves also exhibited an increased proline level in response to the applied NaCl, however, at a lower magnitude than in the intact seedlings. The proline alleviated the inhibitory effect of the NaCl in a concentration-dependent manner, thereby suggesting that salinity is a strong inducer of proline accumulation. In addition, abscisic acid eliminated the inhibitory effect of the salt salinity, thereby indicating a protective role on salinity stress and a regulatory role in proline synthesis. Accordingly, it would appear that proline may be involved in salt tolerance.

The Korean radish cationic peroxidase (KRCP) promoter, comprising nucleotides -471 to +704 relative to the transcriptional initiation site, was fused to the GUS gene and transformed to tobacco BY-2 cells. We examined how auxin (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 2,4-D), cytokinin (6-benzylaminopurine, BAP), gibberellic acid ($GA_3$), abscisic acid (ABA), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), and phosphatidic acid (PA) affect the GUS expression in the presence or absence of 2,4-D in a modified LS medium. Exogenous 2,4-D or BAP greatly decreased the GUS expression regulated by the KRCP promoter in a modified LS medium containing 0.2 mg/l 2,4-D. $GA_3$ increased the GUS expression and ABA completely reduced the inductive effect of $GA_3$. The GUS expression was also increased dose-dependently by plant defense regulators, MeJA and PA. In contrast to the above results, auxin deprivation from the modified LS medium increased the GUS expression after treatment with exogenous 2,4-D whereas BAP still greatly decreased the GUS expression dose-dependently. $GA_3$ or MeJA slightly decreased the GUS expression. The data suggest that auxin deprivation changes the sensitivity of the suspension cells to exogenous chemicals and that the regulation of the KRCP promoter by 2,4-D, $GA_3$, and MeJA is dependent on auxin, whereas the regulation by BAP is not. This study will be valuable for understanding the function and expression mode of the Korean radish cationic peroxidase in Korean radish.

식물 호르몬의 일종인 ABA의 처리가 사과 과피의 착색에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여, 착색이 시작되는 시기의 'Hongro' 사과에 abscisic acid (ABA)와 ABA의 생합성 저해제인 fluridone (FD)을 처리한 뒤 과피의 색변화를 관찰하였다. 실험 결과, ABA와 FD 처리에 의해 'Hongro' 사과의 착색이 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. 과피의 붉은 색을 나타내는 hunter a값이 처리 7일 후까지 처리간에 차이가 없었다. 실제 과피의 안토시아닌 함량은 과피의 hunter a값의 변화와 같은 경향을 보이며 증가하였으며, ABA나 FD의 처리가 과피의 안토시아닌 축적에 영향을 주지 않았다. ABA의 처리 직후 과피의 내생 ABA함량이 급격히 증가하였고 처리 종료 시까지 높게 유지되었다. FD 처리구의 과피 내 ABA함량은 처리 6시간 후부터 대조구보다 낮아지다가, 처리 4일 후까지 지속적으로 감소하였다. ABA의 처리에 의해서 과피의 MdNCED2 (ABA 생합성 유전자)의 발현량이 증가하였고, MdACO1 (ethlyene 생합성 유전자) 및 안토시아닌 생합성 유전자 중 MdCHS와 MdDFR의 발현량이 증가하였다. 하지만 MdUFGT의 발현량은 ABA 처리에 의해서 변화가 없었다.

Plants undergo cell division throughout their life in order to maintain their growth. It is well known that root and shoot tip of plants possess meristems, which contain quiescent cells. Fluridone (1-methyl-3-phenyl-5-(3-trifluromethyl (phenyl))-4-(1H)-pyridinone) is an established inhibitor of both ABA and carotenoid biosynthesis. However, the other functions of fluridone remain undiscovered. In this report, we provide experimental evidence that fluridone plays a role in the division of the quiescent centre of the Arabidopsis root meristem. This study examined the effects of exogenous fluridone and ABA on the development of the stem cell niche in Arabidopsis root. We show that fluridone promoted the division of stem cells in the quiescent centre, whereas exogenous ABA suppressed quiescent centre division. Furthermore, we established a novel regulatory function for fluridone by demonstrating that it plays an important role in postembryonic development.
