  • In order to study gene expression in a reproductive organ, we constructed a cDNA library of immature flower buds in Korean ginseng and generated expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of 3,360 clones randomly selected. The ESTs could be clustered into 1,844 non-redundant groups. Similarity search of the non-redundant ESTs against public non-redundant databases of both protein and DNA indicated that 1,254 groups show similarity to genes of known function. These ESTs clones were divided into sixteen categories depending upon gene function. The most abundant transcripts were unknown protein (72), chlorophyll a/b-binding protein (48), and stylar glycoprotein. There are no useful informations of gene expression during the development of flower bud in Korean ginseng. These results could help to understand the development of flower bud in Korean ginseng.

  • a-Ketol linolenic acid [KODA, 9,10-ketol-octadecadienoic acid, or 9-hydroxy-10 -oxo-12(Z), 15(Z)-octadecadienoic acid] was found as a stress-induced factor in Lemna paucicostata. KODA reacts with catecholamines to generate many products that strongly induce flowering in L. paucicostata, although KODA itself was inactive. KODA contains an asymmetric carbon at the 9-position in the molecule; the 9-hydroxyl group is predominantly 9R, with an enantiomeric excess of 40% (70% 9R and 30% 9S). We analyzed two major products of the reaction between KODA and norepinephrine, named FN1 and FN2. FN1 was identified as a tricyclic a-ketol fatty acid, 9(R)-11-{(2'R,8’R,10'S,11'S)-2',8'-dihydroxy-7'-oxo-11'-[(Z)-2-pentenyl]-9'-oxa-4'-azatricyclo[6.3.1.01.5]dodec-5'en-10'-yl}-9-hydroxy-10-oxoundecanoic acid. FN2 was the C-9 epimer of FN1. FN1 was derived from 9R-type KODA and FN2 from 9S-type. FN1 showed strong flower-inducing activity, but FN2 was inactive. Pharbitis nil (violet) is a typical short-day plant; flowering can be induced by exposing a seedling cultivated under continuous light to a single 16-h dark period. We analyzed endogenous KODA levels and showed that they were closely related to flower induction: KODA sharply increased in the later part of a 16-h dark period, on the other hand, it failed to increase in the night-break experiment. In addition to it, KODA increased transiently in immature flower buds in all the plants we examined, including P. nil. No such increase of KODA was seen in foliar buds of P. nil. When KODA was sprayed on seedlings of Pharbitis, flower induction was promoted only by the (R)-form of KODA. We also found that KODA enhances flowering in garden plants such as carnations and impatienses. These phenomena indicate that KODA may be involved in flowering formationg of plants and it is potentially useful for a regulating agent for commercial plant flowering.

  • 본 연구는 수삽을 이용한 'Fuji' 사과나무의 발아 특성 관찰을 통해 자연상태에서의 내재휴면 개시 및 타파 시점을 찾고, 이에 필요한 저온요구도를 파악하고자 하였다. 또한, 동시에 휴면과 발아와의 관계를 좀 더 명확히 하고자 내부적인 눈의 발달 양상을 관찰하여 휴면과 저온 및 눈 발달간의 상호연관성을 파악하여 기후변화에 따른 변화들을 예상하고 대처하는데 필요한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 'Fuji' 사과나무의 내재휴면 기간은 발아 소요 일수 및 발아율 조사를 통해 만개 후 165일부터 255일 사이 즉, 10월말부터 이듬해 1월 초까지 약 70일 정도 지속됨을 알 수 있었으며, 최초 발아까지 20일 이내, 최종 발아율 60% 이상을 기준으로 외재휴면에서 내재휴면으로, 다시 내재휴면에서 환경휴면으로 전환되는 시점을 찾을 수 있었다. 이렇게 도출된 내재휴면기 동안 요구되는 저온을 산출한 결과, 내재 휴면타파기인 만개 후 255일까지 축적된 저온은 CH 모델의 경우 666h, Utah 모델은 517CU으로 조사되었다. 휴면기 및 휴면타파기 동안 눈의 내부적인 변화를 관찰한 결과, 7월 중순경부터 꽃눈분화가 시작되었으며, 9월에는 중심화의 화원기의 구분이 가능하였다. 이후 꽃눈의 발달은 휴면 기간 동안에도 느리지만 지속적으로 진행되어 이듬해 2월에는 각 기관들의 발육 단계가 좀 더 진전되어 있음이 관찰되었다. 또한 'Fuji' 사과의 눈은 휴면 기간 동안 대부분 건전하게 생존해 있었지만 일부에서 화원기의 괴사현상이 발견되었고, 이는 저온에 의한 직접적인 영향이기보다는 얼음결정 형성으로 인해 일부 조직의 세포가 피해를 입고, 이로부터 괴사가 진행되고 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 꽃눈은 과대지의 액아와 단과지의 정아에서 모두 형성되었으나, 전체 꽃눈 중 약 65%의 비율로 단과지의 정아에서 더 많은 꽃눈이 분화되고 있었으며, 이는 눈의 크기 및 눈이 위치한 가지의 직경과 직접적인 연관이 있었다.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between endogenous polyamines (PAs) and floral bud differentiation in chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium). In this study, PA content (free, bound, and conjugated) in apical buds, leaves, and roots changed appreciably during floral bud differentiation. PAs accumulated during series of processes such as floral induction, differentiation of floret primordia, and crown formation in apical buds; changes in PAs in apical buds may have a relationship with those in leaves and roots. The levels of free PAs and conjugated PAs [putrescine (Put) and spermine (Spm)] in apical buds rapidly increased during the initiation stage of floral bud differentiation, while free and conjugated spermidine (Spd) reached their highest levels at the stage of floret primordium differentiation. In the free, conjugated, and bound PA fractions, the changes in Spm content were negligible compared to those of Put and Spd throughout the experiment. These findings indicate that PAs participate in regulating the process of flower bud differentiation in chrysanthemum.

  • Black blights attacked the blossom and flower buds of wild chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum boreale) in the experimental field in Hamyang in 1998. The infection rate of the disease on the plant ranged from 4.0 to 91.8%. The pathogen isolated from the infected flower buds produced numerous conidia in pycnidia. The pycnidia, which were immersed into the petals, emerged through the epidermis by short ostiolate neck. Conidia had 0-3 septate (mostly uniseptate) and were 10-27.5 $\times$5-7.5 ㎛ in size. The fungus produced pseudothecia on potato dextrose agar (PDA), and uniseptate ascospores produced in asci were 10$\times$2.7 ㎛ in size. The pathogen also produced pycnidia and pycnidiospores on PDA after 4 weeks in the dark condition. The conidia produced on PDA were smaller than those from infected plants. Based on the examined mycological characteristics, the fungus was identified as Didymella chrsanthemi.

  • From the Chinese crude drug shin-i, the flower buds of Magnolia fargesii, four sesquiterpene, oplopanoe (1), oplodiol (2), homalomenol A (3) and $1{\beta},4{\beta},7{\alpha}$-trihydroxyeudesmane (4) were isolated. These structures were elucidated and the ${13}^C-NMR$ chemical shifts of these compounds were revised by means of various 2D-NMR techniques.

  • In the course of screening for antioxidant compounds from natural plants in Korea by measuring the radical scavenging effect, a methanol extract of the flower buds of Daphne genkwa S. et Z. (Thymelaeaceae) was found to show a potent antioxidant activity. Subsequent activity-guided fractionation of methanol extract of D. genkwa led to the isolation of four compounds from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction. The chemical structures were elucidated as genkwanin (1), 3'-hydroxygenkwanin (2), apigenin (3), and tiliroside (4) by spectroscopic techniques. Among them, compound 2 showed the significant anti-oxidative effect on DPPH. And compound 2 showed the significant riboflavin-and xanthine-originated superoxide quenching activities. To verify the antioxidant enzymatic activities of compound 2, the SOD enzymatic activity was measured spectrophtometrically using prepared Caenorhabditis elegans homogenates. The results showed that compound 2 was able to elevate SOD activity of C. elegans in a dose dependent manner. Moreover, compound 2 decreased the intracellular ROS accumulation of worms.

  • 카네이션의 종묘 급속증식 기술 및 형질전환 연구의 기초 연구로서 체세포배발생 조직배양 방법을 개발하고자 수행되었다. 'Desio' 카네이션의 20 mm 이하의 미숙화뢰를 2,4-D가 1 ㎎/L 함유된 MS 기본배지에서 배양하면 배발생 캘러스가 5-l0%의 효율로 유도되었으나, 줄기 정단분열조직, 잎, 절간조직과 20 ㎜ 이상의 화뢰에서는 비배발생 캘러스만이 형성되었다. 동일한 배양방법을 16품종의 절화용 카네이션에 적용한 결과, 7품종에서 배발생 캘러스를 유도할 수 있었다. 일부 배발생 캘러스 세포주는 120주 이상 배발생능 상실 없이 계대배양을 통해 증식할 수 있었으며, 액체 진탕 배양을 통해 배발생 세포괴 상태로 급속 증식하는 배양체가 획득되었다. 배발생 캘러스 또는 액체배양 배발생 세포괴를 호르몬이 포함되지 않은 MS 한천배지에 이식하며 2-3주내에 체세포배 발생을 통하여 식물체가 재분화되었다. 토양이식된 식물체는 정상적으로 생장하여 20주 후 개화하였다.
