A novel recombinant bacmid, bEasyBm, that enables the easy and fast generation of pure recombinant baculovirus without any purification step was constructed. In bEasyBm, attR recombination sites were introduced to facilitate the generation of a recombinant viral genome by in vitro transposition. Moreover, the extracellular RNase gene from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, barnase, was expressed under the control of the Cotesia plutellae bracovirus early promoter to negatively select against the nonrecombinant background. The bEasyBm bacmid could only replicate in host insect cells when the barnase gene was replaced with the gene of interest by in vitro transposition. When bEasyBm was transposed with pDualBac-EGFP, the resulting recombinant virus, EasyBm-EGFP, showed high levels of EGFP expression efficiency compared with that of non-purified recombinant virus BmGOZA-EGFP, which was constructed using the bBmGOZA system. In addition, nonrecombinant backgrounds were not detected in unpurified EasyBm-EGFP stocks. Based on these results, a high-throughput system for the generation of multiple recombinant viruses at a time was established.

The Ac (activator) which is one of the well-characterized transposable elements from maize was examined for its transposition possibility to the heterologous plant (P.nigra x maximowiczii) genome via Agrobacterium tumefacience (LBA4404) mediated transformation system. A number of transgenic plants were successfully recovered after 30 weeks by amount reduction from 50 to 15 g/$m\ell$ kanamycin for in vitro selection to minimize phytotoxic effects and to increase callus growth and regeneration efficiency. Among transgenic plants, 62 out of 106 transgenic poplars (58.5%) showed abnormal phenotypes such as severe serrated leaves and light leaf coloration. Indigo staining with X-gluc proved indirectly the restoration of Gus enzyme function and the presence of Ac in poplar genome by PCR. Southern analysis indicated the transposition and existence of Ac element in poplar genomes. In this research, an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system in poplar species was developed and identified that Ac derived from maize can be excised and trans posed into other poplar genomes.

Recently, we have developed an easy, simple and convenient circular DNA cloning system named plasmid capture system (PCS). To investigate usefulness of PCS in cloning of plasmids from Bacillus thuringiensis strains, PCS donors, pPCS-S and pPCS-L were applied to clone plasmids of B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis by in vitro transposition using 4{TnsABC^*}$ transposase. In result, 3 small plasmids were cloned, and these were consistent with pTX14-1, pTX14-2 and pTX14-3 reported previously from B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis. Therefore, the PCS can be successfully applied to clone small plasmids from B. thuringiensis strains.

전위유전자 표지를 이용한 2배체 야생근연종 감자의 유용 유전자 cloning 체계를 개발하기 위하여 옥수수의 진위유전자 Ac를 조작하여 전위효소는 생산하나 이동은 불가능하도록 제작된 immobilized Ac (iAc)와 자체 이동은 불가능하나 iAc의 작용에 의해 이동이 가능한 Ds를 Agrobacterium tumefaciens를 이용한 형질전환에 의해 2배체 근연종 감자 (Solanum tuberosum Group Phureja) 계통 1.22에 도입하였다. iAc및 Ds 삽입 binary vector들을 보유하는Agrobacterium 계통들로 형질전환 처리된 1.22 기내배양신초의 잎과 줄기 절편의 경우 50mg/L 의 kanamycin이 첨가된 배지에서도 캘러스를 형성하였으며, 잎 절편으로부터 재분화신초가 획득되었다. 형질전환 처리되지 않은 1.22 신초는 100mg/L의 kanamycin이 첨가된 배지에서 전혀 발근이 되지 않았으나, 형질전환 처리에 의해 획득된 재분화 신초는 동일 배지에서 발근이 되었다. iAc와 Ds의 염기배열에 대해 특이적인 oligonucleotide primer들을 이용하여 형질전환 처리 획득 식물들로부터 추출된 DNA에 대한 PCR분석을 실시한 결과, 사용된 primer들의 iAc 와 Ds의 염기배열에 있어서의 위치에 의해 예상되는 크기의 DNA들이 형성되어 iAc 와 Ds의 1.22 genome내 도입이 확인되었다.
