Microspore-derived cell lines resistant to 5-methyltryptophan (5MT, a tryptophan analog) or S-(2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine (AEC, a Iysine analog) were selected in rice by in vitro mutagenesis. For selection of 5MT or AEC resistant cell lines, suspension-cultured cells were irradiated with gamma rays. Thirteen 5MT resistant cell lines were selected and they were able to grow stably at 2 times higher 5MT concentration. A feedback insensitive form of anthranilate synthesis, the pathway specific control enzyme for tryptophan synthesis, was detected from the 5MT resistant lines. Contents of the free amino acids in five resistant lines (MR12-1 to MR12-5) showed a 7.4 to 46.6 times greater level than that in the control culture. Tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine levels in the shikimate pathway were 28.1 and 22.5 times higher in MR12-3 and MR12 4, respectively, than that measured in the control cells. Four AEC resistant cell lines were isolated from cultures grown on medium containing 1 mM AEC, They were able to grow stably with 2 mM AEC, while sensitive calli were inhibited by 0.5 mM AEC. Aspartate kinase activities of the resistant lines were insensitive to the natural inhibitor, Iysine, and accumulated 2.2 to 12.9-fold higher levels of free Iysine than that of the control cells. Especially, the levels of aspartate, asparagine, and methionine in the aspartate pathway showed higher accumulation in the AEC resistant lines than that in the control cells.

A rapid and efficient assay to determine melanin biosynthesis inhibition of Magnaporthe grisea, a causal agent of the rice blast, by chemicals was developed. Wells in 24-well plates were loaded with spore suspension of the fungus and three known melanin biosynthesis inhibitors of KC10017, tricyclazole, and carpropamid. Subsequent color changes of mycelia and culture media in the wells were observed 7 days after incubation. The wells treated with KC10017 (an inhibitor of polyketide synthesis step and/or pentaketide cyclization step) became colorless, whereas tricyclazole (an inhibitor of 1, 3, 8-trihydroxynaphthalene reductase) or carpropamid (an inhibitor of scytalone dehydratase)-treated wells exhibited red color. They did not show any inhibitory effect on fungal growth. The inhibition of reaction steps prior to 1, 3, 6, 8-tetrahydroxynaphthalene formation was easily determined by colorless medium and mycelia. However, it was impossible to distinguish between inhibition of reduction steps and inhibition of dehydration steps by colors of the cultures. It was accomplished through HPLC analysis of the melanin biosynthesis-involving pentaketide metabolites accumulated by the inhibitors. Through screening of a number of synthetic chemicals using the in vitro assay, we could find a novel chemical group of melanin biosynthesis inhibitor.

Nitrate reductase deficient (NR) mutant lines were selected indirectly by their resistance to 100mM chlorate in cell cultures of P. parviflora. A total of 585 chlorate resistant lines were confirmed by a second passage on a high concentration of chlorate. Frequency of spontaneous mutation was $9.7{\times}10^{-7}$ in 3 month old suspension-cultured cells, and in non-selective media containing amino acids as sole nitrogen source. The frequency of mutation could be increased up to 11-fold by culture for 12 months. Out of 40 randomly selected calli, 22 were fully deficient in NR. The rest of the clones contained a decreased level of NR activity. Further characterization was carried out in 13 mutant lines which were fully deficient in NR and in 5 mutant lines containing residual (0-7.0%) NR activity, as compared to wild-type cells cultured on the same medium. The $NR^-$ mutants were tentatively classified as defective in the NR apoenzyme (nia-type; 11 mutant lines including the 5 with residual NR activity) or in the molybdenum cofactor (cnx-type; 7 mutant lines) by the XDH activity. The cnx-type could be further classified into two groups. In one group (5 mutant lines) of these, the NR activity could be partially restored by nonphysiologically high (1.0mM) molybdate in the culture medium. Both types of $NR^-$ mutants were unable to grow on minimal medium containing nitrate as sole nitrogen source, but grew well on amino acids. They also proved to be extremely sensitive to the standard medium ($MSP_1$) containing nitrate and ammonium. Shoot regeneration was obtained only in the $NR^-$ mutants, which contained residual NR activity, but they so far have failed to grow into plants.

Roots of Ophiorrhiza prostrata D. Don serve as a rich source of camptothecin (CPT), an anticancer drug. Because of the large-scale collection of its roots, the plant has become a threatened species. The present study accomplishes the induction of adventitious roots as a means for the production of CPT as well as for the large-scale propagation of this anticancer drug plant using leaf and internode explants. The biomass yield and CPT content of adventitious roots induced from different explants were compared to roots developed on ex vitro rooted stem cuttings. Adventitious roots were produced on half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with $10.74{\mu}M$ ${\alpha}-naphthaleneacetic$ acid and $2.32{\mu}M$ kinetin at mean fresh weights of 0.753, 0.739 and 0.748 g roots from leaf, internode and shoot, respectively. CPT yield from in vitro derived roots after 50, 80 and 120 days of incubation (0.028, 0.06 and 0.1% dry weight, respectively) was not significantly different from those harvested at the same age from ex vitro rooted (0.03, 0.06 and 0.13%, respectively) stem cuttings. CPT from subcultured roots derived from solid (0.08%) medium was lower than from suspension culture medium (0.12%). Subsequent cultures of the adventitious roots showed a stable production of CPT (0.16%). The yield of CPT from 360-day-old plant-derived roots was 0.19%. Elicitation using methyl jasmonate and acetyl salicylic acid exhibited no enhancement in CPT yield. In vitro propagation through direct shoot regeneration was achieved from the adventitious roots upon transfer to MS medium with $8.87{\mu}M$ $N^6-benzyladenine$ (BA) and $2.46{\mu}M$ indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) with a mean of 21.2 shoots per culture in 50 days. The shoots upon subculture on medium having the same level of BA and IBA underwent rapid proliferation. The shoots transferred to field conditions after in vitro rooting exhibited 95% survival. Adventitious root induction, from leaf and internode explants, enables the feasible production of CPT as well as the large-scale rapid propagation of this species which can safeguard it from extinction.

중국의 약용 식물들은 중국에서 전통적으로 많은 질병을 예방하거나 치료하는데 쓰여 왔다. 백화사설초는 항암 활성을 지닌 중국의 약용 식물 중의 하나이다. Triterpenoid 화합물인 oleanolic acid와 ursolic acid는 이성질체이며 백화사설초에 포함되어있다 이들은 간 보호, 항염증, 항암, 항체형성 촉진 등의 효과가 알려져 있다. 유용물질을 생산할 목적으로 식물세포배양을 이용할 경우에는 배양조건을 제어함에 따라 유용물질을 포함한 세포를 효율적으로 얻을 수 있으며 수확도 쉽다. 따라서 백화사설초로부터 현탁세포를 유도하기 위해 기본적인 생장조절제인 2,4-D와 kinetin을 사용하였다. 무균 조건하에서 발아시킨 백화사설초의 잎을 사용하여 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.1 mg/L kinetin, 30 g/L sucrose가 첨가된 Schenk 및 Hildebrandt 배지에서 캘러스를 처음으로 유도하였다. 백화사설초의 현탁세포 유도와 oleanolic acid의 생산성을 위한 최적의 생장조절제 조건은 0.75 mg/L의 2,4-D와 0.1 mg/L의 kinetin이 첨가된 경우였다. Oleanolic acid가 소수성 물질이라는 것에 착안하여 역상 컬럼을 사용한 HPLC로 분석하였는데, Rexchrom S5-100-ODS column의 분리능이 가장 좋았다. Spectrophotometer와 photodiode array detector를 사용하여 oleanolic acid와 ursolic acid의 최적 UV 파장을 검색한 결과, 200 nm에서 최적의 UV 흡광도가 나타났다. 이동상은 acetonitrile과 water를 80 : 20으로, 유속은 1.0 mL/min로 결정하였다. Oleanolic acid의 생산을 증대시키기 위해 signal transducer와 abiotic elicitor를 배양 6일째 첨가하였고, 배양 10일째 수확하였다. 10 mM의 methyl jasmonate, 0.5 mM의 salicylic acid, 0.1 mM의 vanadyl sulfate를 처리했을 경우, 각각 63.6, 99.6, 67.0 mg/L의 oleanolic acid가 생산되었고, 이것은 control에서 생산된 양 (57.4 mg/L)보다 높았다. 특히, 0.5 mM의 salicylic acid를 처리한 경우는 control에 비해 1.74배로 증가하였다. Methyl jasmonate 100 mM을 배양 6일째 첨가했을 때의 세포생장 변화를 보면, 첨가 후 2일이 지나면서부터 세포의 양이 크게 감소하기 시작하여 첨가 4일 후부터는 변화가 없었다. 따라서 methyl jasmonate를 처리 후 4일이 지나면 세포가 모두 죽는다는 것을 알 수 있었다. Methyl jasmonate 100 mM을 첨가한 후 4일째에 수확한 세포로부터 나온 oleanolic acid의 앙은 5.3 mg/L로 매우 적었다. 반면에 첨가 후 2일째에 수확한 세포로부터 나온 양은 94.1 mg/L로 control (43.4 mg/L)에 비해 2.17배로 증가되었다.

카사바 (Manihot esculenta Crantz cv. MColl 22)의 마디절편을 제아틴 0.01%가 첨가된 MS 기본배지에서 2주간 현탁배양하여 경엽부 길이가 1.5∼2.5 cm로 생장된 유식물의 부정근을(1) 1∼l.5 cm길이만 남기고 짧게 전정, (2) 1∼2 mm 이내로 제거, (3)뿌리 발생부 전체를 절단한 후 마사토를 담은 유리병에 이식하여 비무균조건에서 순화생장시켰다. 그 결과 이식 7∼10일경부터 각 조건에서 새 뿌리가 발생되기 시작하여 6주 후에는 조건에 따라 73∼93%의 생존율을 나타냈다. 기내 발생 뿌리 가운데 손상 없이 토양에 이식된 것은 그대로 생존을 계속하여 유식물 생장에 도움을 주었으며, 제거된 부정근은 이식 후 신장이 중단되고 새로 뿌리가 발생되었다. 그러나 간혹 전정되고 남은 부분에 측근이 발생된 것이 관찰되었다. 각 조건에서 새로 발생된 기외 뿌리의 수와 길이 및 경엽부 길이와 마디 수에서는 서로 유의성 있는 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, 생체중에서는 전정>제거>절단의 순으로 약간의 차이를 보였다. 미세증식된 카사바의 기내발생 부정근을 적절히 전정 또는 제거한 후 이식하여 순화시키는 것은, 작업을 간편하게 할 뿐만 아니라 유식물의 생존율이 높고 생장에도 지장이 거의 없으므로 경제적인 미세증식 방법으로 유용하게 이용될 수 있다.

;It has been reported that suspension-cultured rice cells grown on mixed carbon sources of glucose (GIc) and acetate exhibited diauxic growth in which acetate was the preferred carbon source (Lee and Lee, 1996). Carrot (Daucus carota L.) suspension cells, showing a diauxic growth very similar to that of rice cells, were used to delineate the mechanisms underlying this preferential use of acetate over GIc. Uptakes of both GIc and 3-0-methylglucose (3-0MG), a non-metabolizable GIc analogue, were similarly inhibited when acetate or butylate, weak acids which are capable of transporting protons into the cytosol, were present in the uptake assay mixture containing cells harvested during the GIc-utilizing second growth phase. Inhibition of GIc uptake by these weak acids was similar when equivalent experiments were carried out with isolated plasma membranes. It was further shown that Glc uptake, which requires a proper proton gradient across the plasma membranes, was inhibited during the first growth phase by acetate-mediated alkalization of growth medium and/or simultaneous acidification of cytosol. This study strongly suggests that Glc utilization in plant cells is inhibited by co-presenting carbon source(s) which can alter the proton gradient across the plasma membrane. We further examined diauxic growth in culture containing GIc and malate. Unlike the case in the culture with GIc and acetate, carrot cells used GIc first. Malate was utilized only after Glc is depleted from medium. These results indicate that GIc can be a preferred or less-preferred carbon source depending on the competing carbon source. It was noted that malate was not directly taken up by cells. Instead it was converted extracellularly into fumarate which was subsequently transported into cells. During the malate-growth phase malate uptake was negligible, and fumarate uptake was active and pH-sensitive. It was shown that fumarase released into medium was responsible for the extracellular conversion of malate into fumarate. An immunoblot experiments showed that fumarase antibody raised against Arabidopsis fumarase provided positive signals only in medium in malate culture, not in fumarate or GIc cultures. This study demonstrates the first example in that fumarase, a mitochondria marker enzyme, can be present in places other than mitochondria.ndria.

We had already reported the successful germination for green pods of purple lady's slipper orchid (Cypripedium macranthos Sw.). The green pod methods is to take immature seeds in green capsules, sterilize the capsule, and take out the sterile seeds. This method, however, needs very critical time of harvest. The critical time of seed harvest changes depending upon the species, condition of the specimen, and climatic influence, and the right time lies between 5 and 12 weeks after fertilization. In this study, the mature seeds were collected after 120-130 days with hand-polination of lady's slipper orchids. Mature seeds are usually dormant and it has to be overcome, either with hormone or storing the seeds near freezing for two or three months to break dormancy. The seeds were first surface sterilized with 70% ethanol and then transferred 1% NaOCl for 10-15 minutes, followed by rinses 3 times with sterilized distilled water. The cypripedium seeds consists of an embryo within a seed coat known as a testa. The testa is water repellent and the seed has a large air space between the embryo and testa so the seed tends to float on water. We had resolved the problems with vacuum pump to soak water into the testa before sterilization. The seeds were placed on liquid or agar solidified germination media. Cultures were incubated at $24{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ in dark. The seeds were germinated in 6-8 weeks in liquid suspension culture (germination percentage over 18%); however, the seeds on agar solidified media took more than 5 months to germinate and the germination percentage less than 5%. The most effective media for liquid culture was 1/4 strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 50 ml/l coconut water ($4brix^{\circ}$) at pH 5.8.
