Carbohydrates serve three different principal functions in the metabolism of plants. They are the primary products of energy fixation, they are important transport metabolites, and they are deposited as structural or storage compounds. Modification of carbohydrate metabolism therefore covers approaches to modify yield, to change sink/source relationships and thereby alter the ratio of harvestable material, and to improve the quality of crop plants. The scope of this article is to summarize research done at the Max-Planck-Institute related to the first two fields and to present in some detail what we learned, when we established a new carbohydrate storage form in potato.

감자의 내부생리장해 저항성 계통 선발을 위한 내부생리장해 다발생 조건을 구명하기 위해 가공용 품종 '대서(Atlantic)'를 공시하여 멀칭 처리 및 생육일별 차광 처리를 실시하였으며, 생육 초기 생육억제 물질인 Trinexapac-ethyl(Tr-E)과 생육 후기 생장촉진제인 Dicloprop-triethanol amine(DTA)을 처리하였다. 투명멀칭구의 파종 후 80일부터 10일간 차광 처리는 67.5%의 내부갈색반점 발생률을 보였으며, 파종 후 60일부터 10일간 차광 처리한 경우에는 22.9%의 내부공동 발생률을 나타냈다. 생육억제제인 Tr-E 1500mg/L를 파종 후 40일에 처리한 경우에는 66.3%의 내부갈색반점 발생률을 나타냈으며, 생장촉진제인 DTA 1000mg/L를 파종 후 70일에 처리한 경우에는 21.3%의 내부공동 발생률을 나타냈다. 내부생리장해 저항성 품종인 '수미(Superior)'와 이병성인 '대서(Atlantic)'를 공시하여 Tr-E를 파종 후 40일에 1500mg/L, DTA를 파종 후 70일에 1000mg/L 처리한 결과 '수미'는 내부갈색반점이 19.5%, 내부공동이 3.6% 발생한 반면, '대서'는 각각 63.5% 와 30.9%의 발생률을 보여 저항성과 이병성의 구분이 가능할 정도로 큰 차이를 나타냈다. 따라서 위와 같이 내부생리장해를 쉽게 유발하는 조건을 부여하면 중심공동 및 내부갈색반점 저항성 감자 계통을 선발할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Four field experiments were carried out from 1998 to 1999 and from 1999 to 2000 growing seasons of potato to investigate the relationship between leafminers and Alternaria alternata. The experiments established differential susceptibility among potato varieties to alternaria leaf necrosis, relationship between leafminer infestation and the level of necrosis, use of insecticides to reduce leafminer and leaf necrosis damages, and use of polyester fleece to eliminate leafminer and eventually reduce leaf necrosis. Results of the study indicate that control of leafminer is of primary importance because this will automatically lead to control of the damage caused by A. alternata.

제주지역 감자재배포장에서 문제가 되고 있는 더뎅이병의 방제대책 마련의 일환으로 1997년과 2001년에 감자 더뎅이병 저항성인 품종을 선발하기 위한 시험을 실시한 결과 외국에서 도입하여 재배 가능성을 검토 중이거나 국내에서 재배중인 감자품종 중 더뎅이병 발생이 적은 포장에서는 알파, 젬칩, 대서, 조풍, 유곤골드 품종이 더뎅이병에 매우 강한 편이었으며, 더뎅이병 발생이 심한 포장에서는 젬칩, 대서, 조풍이 더뎅이병에 비교적 낮은 이병율을 보였다. 우리나라에서 재배되고 있는 주요 장려품종 중에는 수미, 추백, 조풍 품종이 더뎅이병에 저항성이었다.

바이러스 설사병의 원인인 VP6유전자를 감자에 형질전환 시키기 위하여 CaMV 35S promoter와 kanamycin 항생제 내성을 갖는 식물발현벡터 pMBP-1에 subcloning하고, 이 재조합 벡터를 A. tumefaciens LBA4404에 도입시킨 후, freeze haw방법을 이용하여 감자에 형질전환 시켰다. 공동배양된 감자의 잎절편은 2,4-D가 2.0 mg/L첨가된 배지에서 2일간 배양 후, 0.01 mg/L NAA, 0.1 mg/L GA$_3$, 2.0 mg/L Zeatin, 100.0 mg/L kanamycin, 500.0 mg/L carbenicillin이 첨가된 선발배지에서 재분화시켰다. 이 때 유도된 신초는 100.0 mg/L의 kanamycin이 포함된 배지에 옮겨준 후, 왕성한 생육을 위해 MS 기본배지에서 다시 배양하였다. 기내배양시 외부유전자의 도입에 의한 외형적인 변화는 찾을 수 없었으며, 형질전환체는 NPT primer를 사용한 PCR방법으로 1차선별 하였다. DIG 표지된 probe를 이용하여 total RNA를 분석한 결과 개체별로 발현양의 차이는 있었으나, 95% 이상의 안정성을 보였고, genomic DNA를 추출해 Southern blot hybridization했을 경우 1~3개의 copy수를 보임으로써 형질전환 식물체에 외래유전자인 VP6유전자가 안정적으로 도입되었음이 확인되었다.

We found that a long period of in vitro culture is a critical factor on the low transformation rate for a specific potato genotype, Solanum tuberosum L. var. Atlantic when phosphinothricin (PPT) was added to select putative transformants in a solid media. The fresh explants of the newly produced plants from a micro-tuber was able to increase the transformation rate significantly while the old explants prepared from a plant maintained for longer than 6 months in vitro by sub-culturing every 3 ~ 4 weeks resulted in a very low transformation frequency. However, Jowon cultivar was not so much influenced by the period of in vitro culture with high transformation rate (higher than 10.0%). Further research need to be explored for the reason why a particular potato genotype, Atlantic is more vulnerable than the Jowon cultivar during the regeneration stage resulting in the low transformation frequency.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), one of the most important food crops, is susceptible to a number of devastating fungal pathogens in addition to bacterial and other pathogens. Producing disease-resistant cultivars has been an effective and useful strategy to combat the attack of pathogens. Potato was transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA101 harboring chitinase, (ChiC) isolated from Streptomyces griseus strain HUT 6037 and bialaphos resistance (bar) genes in a binary plasmid vector, pEKH1. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis revealed that the ChiC and bar genes are integrated into the genome of transgenic plants. Different insertion sites of the transgenes (one to six sites for ChiC and three to seven for bar) were indicated by Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA from the transgenic plants. Expression of the ChiC gene at the messenger RNA (mRNA) level was confirmed by Northern blot analysis and that of the bar gene by herbicide resistance assay. The results obviously confirmed that the ChiC and bar genes are successfully integrated and expressed into the genome, resulting in the production of bialaphos-resistant transgenic plants. Disease-resistance assay of the in vitro and greenhouse-grown transgenic plants demonstrated enhanced resistance against the fungal pathogen Alternaria solani (causal agent of early blight).

Plant cells from which the cell walls have been enzymatically or mechanically removed are called protoplasts. The protoplasts are theoretically totipotent and can be used as sources of somatic cell fusion in practical breeding programs. Wild Solanum species have often been used as sources of important agricultural traits including diverse disease resistance. However, they cannot often be directly applied to breeding programs due to their sexual incompatibility with S. tuberosum. Somatic hybridization via protoplast fusion is one of the ideal methods to overcome this limitation and to introgress certain traits into S. tuberosum. This technique has still widely been used in potato since the first fusion was reported in 1970s. Therefore, this review highlights general perspectives of protoplast fusion and discusses the application of protoplast fusion in potato breeding.

To eradicate several viruses such as PVX, PVY, and PLRV which often cause considerable damages to the growth and yields of potatoes, several stems including shoot tips were excised from the potato plants grown for 50 days and electric shock was treated. Shoot tips excised from electric-shocked stems were transferred into the medium supplemented with antiviral compound, ribavirin to examine the combinatorial effect. When treated only with 20 mg/L ribavirin, PVX concentration in the regenerated plant-lets was slowly decreased as repeating sub-culture and finally, it took 32 weeks to reach completely PVX-free stock. With an electric shock treatment (10 mA electric current), all the replicates became free from PVY. However, PLRV was not completely eradicated from 94P70-4 and 93P29-3 lines even by treating with 10 mA electric shock. In this case, both electric shock and antiviral compound treatments in axillary buds from the stem segment were successful in eradicating viral contamination.

Studies were conducted to determine the role of 3-methylthioproprionic acid (MTPA) in the pathogenicity of potato stem canker, Rhizoctonia solani, and the concentrations required to inhibit growth of R. solani under laboratory and plant house-based conditions. The experiments were laid out in a completely randomized design with five treatments and five replications. The treatments were 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8 mM concentrations of MTPA. The purified toxin exhibited maximal activity at pH 2.5 and $30^{\circ}C$. MTPA at 1, 2, 4, and 8 mM levels reduced plant height, chlorophyll content, haulm fresh weight, number of stolons, canopy development, and tuber weight of potato plants, as compared to the control. MTPA significantly affected mycelial growth with 8 mM causing the highest infection. The potato seedlings treated with MTPA concentrations of 1.0-8.0 mM induced necrosis of up to 80% of root system area. Cankers were resulted from the injection of potato seedling stems with 8.0 mM MTPA. The results showed the disappearance of cell membrane, rough mitochondrial and cell walls, change of the shape of chloroplasts, and swollen endoplasmic reticulum. Seventy-six (76) hours after toxin treatment, cell contents were completely broken, cytoplasm dissolved, and more chromatin were seen in the nucleus. The results suggested that high levels of the toxin concentration caused cell membrane and cytoplasm fracture. The integrity of cellular structure was destroyed by the phytotoxin. The concentrations of the phytotoxin were significantly correlated with pathogenicity and caused damage to the cell membrane of potato stem base tissue.
