Production of therapeutic proteins by transgenic plant cell suspension cultures is an attractive system alternative to the other expression system. However, plant cell cultures have shown low expression level of foreign proteins and decreased cell viability by the changes of culture conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance cell viability during the culture period. In this study, a quantitative analysis technique was designed to measure relative cell viability for plant suspension cells which have cell wall and aggregates. It was found that the programmed cell death of plant cells by apoptosis was essentially linked with the apoptotic pathway of animal cells. Therefore, effects of nicotinamide, 3-aminobenzamide and antioxidants on cell viability and apoptosis were examined in transgenic Nicotiana tabacum cells producing hGM-CSF. With those additives, cell viability could be maintained and apoptosis could be redued. In the result, the extracellular production of hGM-CSF could be enhanced 2.5 fold. It was also found that the supplementation of glutathione and ascorbic acid suppressed both the cold stress-induced decrease in cell viability and the increase of total genomic DNA fragmentation.

The concentrations of L-ascorbic acid (AsA, ascorbate, vitamin C) and its biosynthetic and metabolically-related enzymes such as L-galactono-1,4-lactone dehydrogenase (GLDase), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and ascorbate oxidase (ASO) were investigated in suspension cultures of Scutellaria baicalensis. Cells growing from 4 days after subculture (DAS) to 9 DAS and from 16 DAS to 19 DAS showed a diauxic growth, and then growth rapidly decreased with further culturing. The AsA content slowly increased to 19 DAS, reached a maximum at 21 DAS (ca $120\;{\mu}g/g$ dry cell wt), and then rapidly decreased with further culturing. GLDase and ASO activity were well correlated with the cell growth curve, showing a maximum at 19 DAS, whereas APX activity showed a good correlation with the changes in AsA content, showing a maximum at 21 DAS. The total ascorbate contents (reduced form, AsA, and oxidized form, dehydroascorbate, DHA) were markedly enhanced at 10 DAS when L-galactose and L-galactono-1,4-lactone (25 mM) were added to SH medium supplemented with 20 g/l sucrose at 9 DAS, by 5.5 and 6.8 times, respectively. DHA composed more than 90% of the total ascorbate contents in suspension cultures of S. baicalensis, even though the ratio of reduced to oxidized form slightly varied with cell growth stage. The results indicate that L-galactose and L-galactono-1,4-lactone are effective precursors of AsA in cell cultures of S. baicalensis, and that in vitro cultured cells provide suitable biomaterials for the study of biosynthesis and metabolism of AsA.

hGM-CSF가 식물세포 현탁 배양을 통하여 생산이 가능한지를 조사하기 위하여 hGM-CSF를 포함하고 있는 A. tumerfaciens LBA4404를 가지고 상추에 형질전환시켰다. 형질전환된 상추로부터 캘러스를 유도하여 캘러스를 이용한 세포배양체계를 확립하였다. PCR과 Southern blot analysis 결과 상추에 hGM-CSF 유전자가 도입된 것을 확인하였으며, Northern blot analysis 결과 상추식물체에 hGM-CSF 유전자가 발현됨을 확인하였다. 현탁 배양 세포로부터 분비된 hGM-CSF를 ELISA를 이용하여 측정한 결과 149.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L가 생산됨 을 확인하였다 이러한 결과는 상추의 현탁 배양 세포가 hGM-CSF와 같은 치료용 단백질의 생산 숙주로 이용될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

In order to establish efficient plant regeneration from embryogenic suspension cultures of soybean, Glycine max L, we examined the effects of auxin type and concentration, cytokinin type and concentration, and amino acid type and concentration on the growth of embryogenic clumps from induced callus, and the effect of desiccation of mature somatic embryos obtained from these clumps on the frequency of somatic embryo germination. Embryogenic callus was induced from the edge of the cotyledons cultured on MS medium containing 6% sucrose, 40 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.2% gelrite and pH 5.7. The growth of embryogenic clumps was best in early staged, embryogenic callus that was placed in suspension culture of MS medium containing 5 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/L asparagine. Single somatic embryos were isolated from the clumps and plated on the same medium for maturation. When the mature single somatic embryos were desiccated for 96 h, somatic embryo germination came up to approximately 90%. The plantlets germinated after embryos desiccation for 2 weeks were transfered to MS medium containing 3% sucrose,0.2% gelrite and pH 5.7.

This study was conducted to establish a plant cell culture system for the production of medically important secondary metabolites from Xanthium strumarium. The effects of plant growth regulators including NAA, 2,4-D, kinetin, and ABA were examined in terms of callus induction, maintenance of callus and suspension cultures. It was shown that callus was induced upon treatment with NAA while embryo was induced after treatment with 2,4-D. Callus formation was further improved by treatment with ABA and NAA. The level of callusing increased by 17-29% for the seed case, cotyledon, leaf, and hypocotyl and by 96% in the case of the root. Suspension cell lines were established using calli produced from cotyledon, hypocotyl and root and cultured at 25$\^{C}$ under light conditions. The cells grew up to 15g/L with NAA 2ppm, BA 2ppm, and ABA 1ppm treatment. Supernatants of suspension cultures of cell lines derived from coyledon and hypocotyl produced some distinctive secondary metabolites, one of which was identified as 8-epi-tomentosin, which belongs to the xanthanolides. The amounts of 8-epi-tomentosin produced by the cotyledon- and hypocotylderived cell lines were 13.4mg/L and 11.0mg/L, respectively.

Culture conditions were established for high frequency plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis from cell suspension cultures of Nymphoides coreana. Zygotic embryos formed pale-yellow globular structures and calluses at a frequency of 85.6% when cultured on half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.3 $mg\;l^{-1}$ of 2,4-D. However, the frequency of pale-yellow globular structures and white callus formation decreased slightly with an increasing concentration of 2,4-D up to 10 $mg\;l^{-1}$ with the frequency rate falling to 16.7%. Cell suspension cultures were established from zygotic embryo-derived calluses using half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.3 $mg\;l^{-1}$ of 2,4-D. Upon plating onto half-strength MS basal medium, over 92.3% of cell aggregates gave rise to numerous somatic embryos and developed into plantlets. Regenerated plantlets were successfully transplanted into potting soil and achieved full growth to an adult plant in a growth chamber. The high frequency plant regeneration system for Nymphoides coreana established in this study will be useful for genetic manipulation and cryopreservation of this species.

Thalictrum rugosum 세포배양에서 여러 가지 식물생장 조절물질이 세포증식 및 berberine 생산에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 조사된 식물생장 조절물질들 중에서 indole-3-acetic acid(IAA)가 berberine 생산에 가장 적합함을 알 수 있었고 그 최적농도는 1$\mu \textrm m$ 이었다. 비교 기준인 2,4-D의 사용결과에 비할 때 60이상의 생산량 상승효과가 있었으며, cytokinin인 6-benzylaminopurine(BA)를 동시에 사용하는 것보다 IAA만을 단독으로 사용하는 것이 더 효과적이다.

오이의 국내 F1 품종인 조생낙합의 하배축 유래 배발생 현탁배양 세포의 초저온 보존 시스템을 개발하였다. 액체질소 저장 후 캘러스 재생률은 2M DMNSO와 0.4 M sucrose를 혼용 처리하였을 때 캘러스 재생률이 85%로 가장 높았다. 그러나 glycerol 처리구에서는 처리농도에 상관없이 모든 처리구에서 캘러스 재생이 이루어지지 않았다. 또한 고농도의 삼투용액에서 배양세포의 전처리 과정은 필요하지 않았다. 재생된 캘러스를 1 mg/L 2,4-D가 첨가된 MS 배지로 이식하여 배양하였을 때 다수의 체세포배가 발달하였으며, 체세포배를 MS 기본배지로 옮겨 명배양한 결과 다수의 소식물체가 발달하였다.

In this paper, we would like to show unexpected morphogenic potential of cell suspensions derived from seedling explants of Gentiana kurroo (Royle). Suspension cultures were established with the use of embryogenic callus derived from seedling explants (root, hypocotyl and cotyledons). Proembryogenic mass proliferated in liquid MS medium supplemented with $0.5mg\;l^{-1}$ 2,4-D and $1.0mg\;l^{-1}$ Kin. The highest growth coefficient was achieved for root derived cell suspensions. The microscopic analysis showed differences in aggregate structure depending on their size. To assess the embryogenic capability of the particular culture, 100 mg of cell aggregates was implanted on MS agar medium supplemented with Kin ($0.0-2.0mg\;l^{-1}$), $GA_3$ ($0.0-2.0mg\;l^{-1}$) and AS ($80.0mg\;l^{-1}$). The highest number of somatic embryos was obtained for cotyledon-derived cell suspension on $GA_3$-free medium, but the best morphological quality of embryos was observed in the presence of $0.5-1.0mg\;l^{-1}$ Kin, $0.5mg\;l^{-1}$ $GA_3$ and $80.0mg\;l^{-1}$ AS. The morphogenic competence of cultures also depended on the size of the aggregate fraction and was lower when size of aggregates decreased. Flow cytometry analysis reveled luck of uniformity of regenerants derived from hypocotyl suspension and 100% of uniformity for cotyledon suspension.
