The effects of light on the growth and ginsenosides production were examined in the hairy roots of Panax ginsen C.A. Meyer induced by Agrobacterium rhizogines A4. The 9rowth of ginseng hairy roots in 1/2MS liquid medium was significantly decreased with an increment of light intensity (1,000~7,000 lux). The growth of hairy roots under 7,000 lux condition was decreased at 17% compared to the dark condition. The production of 7 ginsenosides in hairy root was very high in 3,500 lux condition. The production of ginsenoside-Rg, and Rf increased 3.3 and, 2.4 times respectively as compared to dark condition. The growth of hairy roots was inhibited by blue light, while ginsenosides production was increased. The sucrose demands of hairy roots was examined in light condition(3,500 lux). The growth of hairy roots in 1/2MS liquid medium with various sucrose concentrations(1~4%) was high in IVp sucrose, while ginsenosides production was high in 3% sucrose condition. The growth and ginsenosides production were high when hairy roots were cultured in dark condition for 1 week and then transferred to light condition(3,500 lux) for 4 weeks. It is suggested that ginsenosides production could be accelerated by light intensity of specific wavelength in cultures of ginseng hairy roots.

Effect of ginseng hairy and native roots on body absorption, fecal and urinary excretion of Ingested radiostrontium were investigated in the mouse(NIH-strain, male) treated with or without pre-feeding of each ginseng soluble fraction. The test groups were fed with basic diet supplemented with 1% each ginseng soluble fraction for 7 darts before the radiostrontium were administered by intragastric intubation. In the groups of treated with soluble fraction from ginseng hairy roots, the radioactivities of fecal and urinary excretion increased about 15% over than that of control groups and the whole body retention were about 38%. In the groups of treated with soluble fraction from native ginseng roots, the radioactivities of fecal and urinary excretion increased about 25% over than that of control groups and the whole body retention were about 28%. Also, the levels of radiostrontium accumulation retained significantly the higher percent in skeletons than in other organs.

Activation tagging that uses T-DNA vectors containing multimerized transcriptional enhancers from the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S gene is a powerful tool to determine gene function in plants. This approach has been successfully applied in screening various types of mutations and cloning the corresponding genes. We generated an activation tagged hairy root pool of ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) in an attempt to isolate genes involved in the biosynthetic pathway of ginsenoside (triterpene saponin), which is known as the major active ingredient of the root. Quantitative and qualitative variation of ginsenoside in activation tagged hairy root lines were profiled using LC/MS. Metabolic profiling data enabled selection of a specific hairy root line which accumulated ginsenoside at a higher level than other lines. The relative expression level of several genes of triterpene biosynthetic pathway in the selected hairy root line was determined by real time RT-PCR. Overall results suggest that the activation tagged ginseng hairy root system described in this study would be useful in isolating genes involved in a complex metabolic pathway from genetically intractable plant species by metabolic profiling.

인삼 뿌리 절편으로 부터 모상근 유기를 위한 최적 조건을 확립하고자 Agrobacterium rhirogenes와 인삼 뿌리 절편의 항생제 내성 조사 및 최적의 모상근 유도 배지를 조사하기 위하여 수행하였다. NaOCl로 인삼 뿌리를 멸균하였을 때, 오염 정도가 감소하면서 조직의 손상이 일어나지 않는 NaOCl의 농도는 7% NaOCl에서 15-20분, 9% NaOCl에서 5분으로 나타났다. 인삼근은 년수가 증가할수록 오염 정도가 심하였으며, 특히 6년근중 표피가 있는 처리구는 오염 정도가 매우 높았다. Agrobacterium의 성장억제를 위한 항생제는 tetracycline이 가장 효과적이었으며, 30mg/L 이상의 농도에서 균의 성장이 억제되었다. 하지만 30mg/L tetracycline에서 인삼 조직이 고사하였으며, cefotaxime(500mg/L), carbenicillin(500mg/L)에서 균의 성장을 완전히 억제하였으며, 조직의 손상이 일어나지 않았다. 3년근 인삼에서 모상근 유도을 위한 배지로는 1/2MS 배지에 500mg/L의 cefotaxime이 첨가된 배지가 가장 좋았으며, 인삼 뿌리 절편에 Agrobacterium을 발라주는 것 보다는 균과 공동배양할때가 절편이 좋았다. Agrobacterium접종 2주 후부터 callus가 유기되기 시작한 후, 다시 2주 후에 모상근이 유도되었다. 유도된 hairy roots는 PCR에 의하여 rol C유전자를 조사함으로서 형질전환체임을 확인하였다.

Ginseng(Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) is important medicinal plant but requires 4-year cultivation for root harvest because of slow growth. In contrast, ginseng hairy roots induced by introducing Ri-plasmid of Agrobacterium rhizogenes into genomic DNA of plant cells show vigorous growth, and the hairy roots produce the same or more saponins than natural ginseng roots. Therefore, hairy roots can be used for commercial purposes. The present study was carried out to induce hairy roots with both active growth and high saponin contents. Numerous hairy roots of Panax ginseng were obtained after root disks of three-year old roots were infected with Agrobacterium rhizogenes R1000 A4T in dark condition after one month of culture. About 3 hundred lines of hairy roots were selected according as morphological characters on medium with carbenicillin. After pre-selection of fifteen lines of hairy roots with active growth, KGHR-l and KGHR-8 lines were finally selected which had characters of high content of ginsenoside-Rd and ginsenoside-Re, respectively. The optimum growth of hairy roots was achieved in the culture of 1/2 MS liquid medium in dark (22 $^{\circ}C$) under 60 rpm gyratory shaking. Hairy roots grew well in 5L Erlenmeyer flasks, lL roller drums, 10L jar-fermenters, and especially in 20L air-lift culture vessels.

인삼모상근의 생장과 glnsenosides 함량 증가에 미치는 chitin 및 chitosan의 효과를 규명하기 위해, 식물생장조절제가 첨가되지 않은 1/2 MS 배지에 chitin과 chitosan의 농도와 처리시기를 달리하여 인삼모상근을 배양하였다. 인삼모상근 생장은 chitin 1 mg/L의 농도에서 가장 양호하였으나 20mg/L 이상 농도에서는 생장이 감소되었다. Ginsenosldes 함량과 생산성은 40 mg/L 첨가시와 배양3주 째 처리구에서 가장 높았다. Chitosan 역시 1 mg/L의 농도에서 인삼모상근의 생장이 가장 높았으나 ginsenosides 함량은 30 mg/L 처리구에서 가장 높게 나타났고 배양 후 처리시기는 ginsenosides의 함량증가에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다.

생장이 우수한 인삼모상근 세포주 (KGHR-1, KGHR-5, KGHR-8) 및 6년생 인삼근의 부위별로 ginsenoside 양상 및 생성특성을 조사하였다. 인삼모상근 및 6년생 인상근에서 ginsenoslde-Rb$_1$, Rb$_2$, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, Rg$_1$, Rg$_2$을 확인하였으며, 인삼모상근 세포주간 및 인삼근 부위별로 ginsenoside의 함량은 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 8종류의 ginsenoside함량이 가장 높은 인삼모상근은 KGHR-1 세포주로 17.42 mg/g dry wt와 함량을 나타내었다. 모상근세포주 KGHR-1은 ginsenoside-Rd, Rg$_1$을, KGHR-5는 ginsenoside-Rb$_1$, Rg$_1$을, 그리고 KGHR-8은 ginsenoside-Rd, Re을 상대적으로 많이 생성하는 특징을 지니고 있으며, ginsenoside-Rf의 생성은 매우 낮았다. 6년생 인삼근의 부위별 ginsenoside의 함량은 주근, 지근, 세근순으로 많았으며, 주근에서 ginsenoside-Rc의 생성은 ginsenoside의 50.99%로써 모상근 세포주의 4.90~6.89%보다 매우 높았다. 6년생 인삼근의 총 ginsenoside에 대한 ginsenoside-Rg$_1$의 비율은 3.43~14.18% 수준으로 주근, 지근, 세근순으로 급격히 감소하였으며, 모상관의 17.14~24.43%와 비교할 때 매우 낮은 수준을 나타내었다. 따라서 인삼모상근 배양을 통하여 특정 ginsenosides생산이 가능하리라 생각된다.

Plant-derived natural products have been and will continue to be valuable sources. Elicitors have been employed to modify cell metabolism in order to enhance the productivity of useful metabolites in plant cell/tissue cultures. In this study, several elicitors were used to improve the productivity of useful metabolites and to reduce culture time for archiving high concentration in P. ginseng hairy root cultures. The addition of chitosan, chitosan oligosaccharide and alginate oligosaccharide to the culture of P. ginseng hairy roots caused growth to be inhibited with the increase in elicitor concentration. The usage of the chitosan elicitor and D-glucosamine caused a slight decrease in hairy root growth, whereas total ginseng saponin accumulated slightly with the increase in elicitor concentration. When gel beads were added to the culture medium at the initial period, hairy root growth was enhanced. The maximum growth was 1.35 times higher than that of the control at $1\%$ (w/v). Total ginseng saponin content decreased due to the addition of alginate beads. This would result in consistent diffusion of lower levels of calcium ions during the culture period that promotes biomass growth.

인삼의 조직에 Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain 15834와 A4을 감염하여 형질전화체를 얻었다. 이는 인삼에서처럼 무균식물을 얻기어려운 경우 leaf disk 방법으로 모상근을 유도할 수 있었다. 모상근의 ginsenoside(Rg2,Rg1,Rf,Rd,Rc,Rbl, and Rb2)는 HPLC에 의해 定量하였으며, 진탕배양한 모상근의 ginsenoside의 함량은 0.34-1.19% 건량이었다. 이러한 결과는 재배 인삼과 배양 인삼의 ginsenoside의 함량에 비해 좋은 성과라고 사료된다.

Agrobacterium rhizogenes에 의하여 형질전환된 인삼 모상근을 배양하여 빛, 탄소원의 종류, 여러 가지 호르몬의 첨가가 모상근의 생장과 수용성 색소인 anthocyanin의 생산에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며, 배양된 모상근으로부터 색소를 추출, 분리하여 anthocyanin을 동정하였다. 모상근을 광조건에서 배양하면 배양 5일 후부터 색소를 합성하였으며 배양 30일에 0.36mg/g(fr wt)의 색소를 생산하였다. 모상근의 배양시 총질소농도 60mM, 탄소원으로 sucrose가 모상근의 생장과 색소의 생산에 적합하였으며, 0.5mg/L IAA를 첨가하였을 때 모상근이 가장 빠르게 생장하였고 1 mg/L IAA를 첨가하였을 때 가장 높은 색소함량(0.41mg/g, fr wt)을 나타내었다. 그러나 2,4-D의 경우 모상근의 생장과 색소합성이 억제되는 경향을 보여주었다. 아울러 anthocyanin 색소를 분리, 동정한 결과 pelargonidin-glucoside로 확인되었다.
