  • This study was conducted to examine the role of the transcription factors (TFs) (RsMYB1 and mPAP1+B-Peru) in the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis in the ornamental torenia cv. Kauai rose. In this study, we could produce several putative transgenic lines overexpressing the TFs via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, and presence of the TFs in the randomly selected five transgenic lines was confirmed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). According to results of reverse transcription-PCR analysis (RT-PCR), the expression of the TFs in all transgenic lines and of the anthocyanin structural genes (CHS, F3H, DFR, and ANS) in all transgenic lines and WT plants were distinctly detectable. However, transcript levels of the structural genes expressed in the transgenic lines overexpressing TFs were significantly higher than those expressed in WT plants. Therefore, it is suggested that anthocyanin content in flowers of the transgenic torenia would be significantly higher than that in flowers of WT plants. Moreover, these results indicate that the TFs (RsMYB1 and mPAP1+B-Peru) could be exploited as potential anthocyanin regulatory TFs to enhance anthocyanin content in the other horticultural plants.

  • 쌍성이온 인지질의 한 종류인 lecithin은 decane과 같은 유기용매상에서 구 모양의 역마이셀을 만든다. 이러한 lecithin을 포함하고 있는 유기졸에 염화칼슘과 같은 다원자가의 이온을 첨가하면 유기젤이 형성된다. 이러한 유기젤은 연료의 젤화, 음식 준비, 약물전달 등에 다양하게 활용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 젤의 온도 영향을 유변학적 관점에서 조사하였다. 유기젤의 유변학 연구를 통하여 유기젤의 녹는점(${\sim}95^{\circ}C$)과 온도가 증가하면서 젤의 고체와 같은 성질이 줄어듦을 확인하였다. 온도가 증가함에 따라서 유기젤의 고체와 같은 성질이 줄어드는 이유는 lecithin과 염화칼슘 사이의 정전기적 상호작용이 약해지기 때문으로 판단된다.

  • The coat protein (CP) gene of Apple mosaic virus (ApMV), a member of the genus Ilarvirus, was selected for the design of virus-specific primers for amplification and molecular detection of the virus in cultivated apple. A combined assay of reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed with a single pair of ApMV-specific primers and crude nucleic acid extracts from virus-infected apple for rapid detection of the virus. The PCR product was verified by restriction mapping analysis and by sequence determination. The lowest concentration of template viral RNA required for detection was 100 fg. This indicates that the RT-PCR for detection of the virus is a 10$^3$times more sensitive, reproducible and time-saving method than the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The specificity of the primers was verified using other unrelated viral RNAs. No PCR product was observed when Cucumber mosaic virus (Cucumovirus) or a crude extract of healthy apple was used as a template in RT-PCR with the same primers. The PCR product (669 bp) of the CP gene of the virus was cloned into the plasmid vector and result-ant recombinant (pAPCP1) was selected for molecule of apple transformation to breed virus-resistant transgenic apple plants as the next step. This method can be useful for early stage screening of in vitro plantlet and genetic resources of resistant cultivar of apple plants.

  • The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection has been strongly associated with pathogenesis of uterine cervix carcinoma. HPV type 16, a causative agent of uterine cervix carcinoma, encodes the E6 and E7 oncogenes, expression of which is pivotal for malignant transformation and maintenance of malignant phenotypes. To develop a gene therapy for HPV-related carcinoma, We investigated the effect of E6 short-interfering RNA (E6 siRNA) on the expression of this oncogene and on the growth of HPV 16-related uterine cervix carcinoma cells. SiHa cells, a uterine cervix carcinoma cell line, which contain a single copy of HPV 16 integrated in the chromosome and express the E6 and E7 oncogenes. Before 24 hr of transfection, cells were seeded and transfected with control plasmid or E6 siRNA-expressing plasmid. The mRNA was analysed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The cell growth rate was investigated by MTT method. The E6 mRNA level in SiHa cells was decreased in HPV 16 E6 siRNA-expression vector transfected cells and a decrease in the growth of these cells was also observed. From these results. it is evident that E6 siRNA played a role in suppression of growth of SiHa cells and has a fair chance as a candidate for gene specific therapy for HPV related uterine cervix carcinoma.

  • The microstructures and mechanical properties of Co-29Cr-6Mo alloy with C and N additions, produced by additive manufacturing using electron beam melting (EBM) method, were studied using X-ray diffraction, electron back scatter diffraction, transmission electron microscope, Vickers hardness tests, and tensile tests, focusing on the influences on the build direction and the various heat treatments after build. It is found that the microstructures for the as built specimens were changed from columnar to equiaxed grain structure with average grain size of approximately $10-20{\mu}m$ due to the heat treatment employing the reverse transformation from a lamellar (hcp + $Cr_2N$) phase to an fcc. Our results will contribute to the development of biomedical Ni-free Co-Cr-Mo-N-C alloys, produced by EBM method, with refined grain size and good mechanical properties, without requiring any hot workings.

  • A flue-cured tobacco variety (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Wisconsin) was used for Plant transformation with the complementary DNA (cDNA) of potato virus Y-necrosis strain (PVY-VN) replicase gone (Nb) which was synthesized through reverse-transcription Primed with oligo(dT) and Polymerization using RNase H-digested template. The cDNA was cloned into Plant expression vector Plasmid (PMBP2), and introduced into tobacco plants by co-culturing tobacco leaf disks with Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 containing the plasmid before Plant regeneration. Eight Plants, in which the inserted cDNA fragment was detected by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), out of 70 putative transformants inserted with sense-oriented Mb cDNA showed no symptom at 3 weeks after inoculation, while the other 62 plants, and all plants with vector gone only and antisense-oriented NIb cDNA had susceptible vein-necrosis symptoms. However, only 2 of the 8 resistant plants were highly resistant, which remained symptomless up to 10 weeks after inoculation. Among the first progenies (T1) from self-fertilized seeds of the two resistant transgenic plants, less than 10 % of 71 plants appeared highly resistant (with no symptom), 70% moderately resistant (with mild symptoms on 1 - 2 leaves), and about 20% susceptible (with susceptible symptoms on 3 or more leaves) at 3 weeks after inoculation. These results suggest that the PVY resistance was inherited in the 71 generation. Key words : potato virus Y. viral replicase gene, transgenic tobacco Plants, resistance.

  • In this study, we investigated effect of austempering factors and Mn addition on mechanical properties of ADI with ferrite-bainite matrix by pearlite-bainite transformation treatment. Ductile cast iron specimens containing various of Mn were austenitized at 875$^{\circ}C$ for 350 sec or 925$^{\circ}C$ for 160 sec and then austempered at 300$^{\circ}C$ or 400$^{\circ}C$ for the various periods(5 to 30 min). Manganese increased pearlite volume fraction in as cast ductile cast iron. The obtained results are as follows ; 1) In austenitizing, hardness of sepecimens austenitized at 875$^{\circ}C$ for 350 sec was higher than that of 925$^{\circ}C$ for 160 sec. 2) In effect of austempering temperature, tensile strength and handness of specimens austempered at 300$^{\circ}C$ was higher than that of 400$^{\circ}C$. However, elongation had reverse tendency. 3) Increasing austempering time decreased hardness due to the increment of bainite and retained austenite fractions. However, toughness are increased.

  • In this research, optical fiber sensors and shape memory alloys (SMA) were incorporated into sandwich panels for development of a smart honeycomb sandwich structure with damage detection and shape recovery functions. First, small-diameter fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors were embedded in the adhesive layer between a CFRP face-sheet and an aluminum honeycomb core. From the change in the reflection spectrum of the FBG sensors, the debonding between the face-sheet and the core and the deformation of the face-sheet due to impact loading could be well detected. Then, the authors developed the SMA honeycomb core and bonded CFRP face-sheets to the core. When an impact load was applied to the panel, the cell walls of the core were buckled and the face-sheet was bent. However, after the panel was heated over the reverse transformation finish temperature of the SMA, the core buckling disappeared and the deflection of the face-sheet was relieved. Hence the bending stiffness of the panel could be recovered.

  • It is known that superplastic materials with ultrafine grains have high elongation mainly due to grain boundary sliding. Therefore, in the present study we examined the influence of grain refinement, caused by a repetitive cold rolling and annealing process, on both superplastic elongation and superplastic deformation mechanism. The cold rolling and annealing process was repetitively applied up to 4 times using Fe-10Mn-3.5Si alloy. High-temperature tensile tests were conducted at 763 K with an initial strain rate of 1 × 10-3 s-1 using the specimens. The superplastic elongation increased with the number of the repetitive cold rolling and annealing process; in particular, the 4 cycled specimen exhibited the highest elongation of 372%. The primary deformation mechanism of all specimens was grain boundary sliding between recrystallized α-ferrite and reverted γ-austenite grains. The main reason for the increase in elongation with the number of the repetitive cold rolling and annealing process was the increase in fractions of fine recrystallized α-ferrite and reverted γ-austenite grains, which undergo grain boundary sliding.
