Erwinia rhapontici causes soft-rot disease in a number of plants such as onion, garlic and hyacinth. There has been no report that E. rhapontici produces pectate lyase. Pel gene was cloned from genomic DNA of the parasitic soft-rot E. rhapontici polymerase chain reaction by using synthetic oligonulceotide primers designed from the pel 1 to E. carotovora. The recombinant plasmid pJE101 containing pectate lyase gene, when introduced into E. coli DH5$\alpha$, produced pectate lyase an macerated hyacinth tissue.

한국 마늘에 감염되어 있는 주된 바이러스 중의 하나로 알려진 마늘 잠복 바이러스 (GMV)의 분자 구조와 병 발생 메카니즘을 이해하기 위하여, 국부 감염 숙주 식물인 Vicia faba에 연속적으로 감염시킴으로써 마늘 잠복 바이러스를 정제하였고, GMV에 대한 전신 감염성 숙주 식물로 생각되는 leek에서 GLV를 대량으로 증식시켰다. 투과전자현미경을 이용하여 바이러스 입자를 관찰한 결과, 마늘 바이러스들의 입자의 길이는 200-2000 nm의 분포를 보였으나 입자의 대부분은 600-900 nm의 범위 안에 존재하였다. 반면 순수 분리된 GLV 입자는 평균 690 nm의 길이를 보여주었고, 유연한 실 모양이었다. SDS-PAGE 분석으로 혼합 감염된 마늘 잎으로부터 분리된 마늘 바이러스의 구조 단백질은 분자량 24,500-38,000 Da의 분포를 나타내었으나, GLV 껍질 단백질의 분자량은 34,000 Da으로 나타났다.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of slow-release fertilizer on warm type garlic cultivation in the Southwestern region of Korea. The slow-release fertilizers used were UF(Urea-Formaldehydes)70, 100, 130, CDU(Crotonylidene Diurea)100, and IBDU(Isobuty- lidene Diurea)100. The slow-release fertilizer treatment slightly increased plant height, leaf sheath diameter, and leaf number compare with conventional fertilizer treatment. Also, large bulb rate, nitrogen and pyruvic acid contents of garlic in slow-release fertilizer plot were higher than other treatments. Application of slow-release fertilizer increased the commercial yields.

The effects of sucrose concentration and nitrogen source on shoot growth and in vitro formation of garlic (Allium sativum L. cv Seosan) bulblet were investigated in order to systematize propagation of high quality garlic through a shoot apical meristem culture. Shoot differentiation was not affected by sucrose concentration and nitrogen source, but plantlets which contain medium of NH$_4$- N or NH$_4$ + NO$_3$ were vigorous and healthy in .appearance. Shoot growth was vigorous in changeing of nitrogen source. The best quality of in vitro bulblets was obtained in culture on the medium containing 8% sucrose and NH$_4$ - N, and the formation of bulblet was more effective when plantlets were subjected to cold treatment before use. NH$_4$-N was a major factor for shoot growth and bulblet development, but NO$_3$-N was not and suppressed $K^{+}$absorption. The level of ethylene production was not affected by different nitrogen sources, however this production was enhanced in medium containing a higher concentration of sucrose.e.

In this research, we surveyed the yield change of garlic cultivation with seed bulbs according to annual field culture after induced meristem culture. From 2007 to 2013, yearly produced seed bulbs from $2^{nd}$ to $8^{th}$ generation were cultivated in the Muan field. Over the generations, the general growth characteristics such as the plant height, leaf number, leaf length and stem diameter were all decreased. When we compared the conventional seed bulbs and TCR ones, the plant height and stem diameter showed bigger difference. And the TCR seed bulbs showed a week late harvest time against the conventional ones. The yield of $2^{nd}$ generation was 72.3 g and 57.1 g for the $8^{th}$ generation. However every generation showed higher yield than conventional seed garlic's ones as 43.9 g. The yield index showed the same trend as $2^{nd}-8^{th}$ to 63% to 21%. After the tissue culture of garlics, the viral infections (OYDV and GSV) of TCR was far less than that of conventional ones. In case of LYSV, the infection ratio was 6.7% at $2^{nd}$ generation and 26% at $8^{th}$. However, the ratio was far less than that (80%) of the conventional ones.

cDNAs complementary to the 3'-terminal regions of two potyvirus genomes were cloned and sequenced. The clone G7 contains one open reading frame (ORF) of 1,338 nucleotides and a 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) of 403 nucleotides at the 3'-end excluding the 3'end poly(A) tail. The putative viral coat protein (CP) shows 55%-92% amino acid sequence homology to those of Allium potyviruses. The genome size of the virus was analyzed to be about 9.0 kb by Northern blot analysis. Five cDNA clones were screened out using GPV2 oligonucleotide as a probe. One of these clones, DEA72, which has a longest cDNA insert, contains one ORF of 1,459 nucleotides and a 3'-UTR of 590 nucleotides at the 3'-end excluding the 3'-end poly(A) tail. The putative viral CP shows 57%-88% amino acid sequence homologies to those of Allium potyviruses. The genome size of the virus was analyzed to be about 9.6 kb by Northern blot analysis. The results of immunoblot and Northern blot analyses suggest that almost all of the tested garlic plants showing mosaic or streak symptoms are infected with DEA72-potyvirus in variable degrees but rarely infected with G7-potyvirus in variable degrees but rarely infected with DEA72-potyvirus in variable degrees but rarely infected with G7-potyvirus. Immunoelectron microscopy using anti-DEA72 CP antibody shows that this potyvirus is about 750 nm long and flexuous rod shaped.

Garlic is a medicinal plant used throughout the world for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiplatelet activities. Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide obtained from chitin, and derivatives of chitosan have been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation and adhesion. We hypothesized that fermented preparations of these products may possess stronger antiplatelet effects than the non-fermented forms owing to the increased bioavailability of the bioactive compounds produced during fermentation. Therefore, we compared these compounds via in vitro and ex vivo platelet aggregation assays by using standard light transmission aggregometry and ex vivo granule secretions from rat platelets. We found that fermented preparations exerted more potent and significant inhibition of platelet aggregation both in vitro and ex vivo. Likewise, ATP release from dense granules of platelets was also significantly inhibited in fermented preparation-treated rat platelets compared to that in non-fermented preparation-treated ones. We concluded that fermented preparations exerted more potent effects on platelet function both in vitro and ex vivo, possibly as a result of the increased bioavailability of active compounds produced during fermentation. We therefore suggest that fermented products may be potent therapeutics against platelet-related CVDs and can be used as antiplatelet and antithrombotic agents.

The activity of promoter sequences was evaluated in garlic cells using the $\beta$-glucuronidase (GUS) gene as a reporter. Histochemical GUS assay indicated transient GUS activity in leaf, callus and root cells 48 hours after particle bombardment transformation. Quantitative fluorometric assays in extracts of transformed leaves demonstrated that the CsVMV promoter induced the highest level of gene expression, which was, on average, ten fold the level induced by CaMV35S and by the Arabidopsis Act2 promoters and two fold the level expression observed with a construct containing a double CaMV35S plus the untranslated leader sequence from AMV. No activity or very low levels were observed when cells were transformed with plasmids rontaining the typical monocot promoters, Actl, from rice or the Ubi-1, from maize. The green fluorescent protein (GFP) was also tested as a marker gene for garlic transformation. Intense fluorescence was observed in leaf, callus and root cells transformed with a construct containing the gfp gene under control of the CaMV35 Promoter. No fluorescence was detected when the gfp was under control of the Ubi-1 promoter.
