ALA (5-aminolevulinic acid) has been proposed as a tetrapyrrole-dependent photodynamic herbicide by the action of the protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (Protox IX). A study was conducted to determine photodynamic herbicidal effect of ALA on seedling growth of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli Beauv. var. oryzicola Ohwi) under dry and wet conditions. ALA effect on early plant growth of rice and barnyardgrass was greatly concentration dependant, suggesting that it promotes plant growth at very low concentration and inhibits at high concentration. No significant difference in herbicidal activity of biologically and synthetically produced ALAs on plant lengths of test plants was observed ALA exhibited significant photodynamic activity regardless of PSDIP and its duration. Significant shoot growth inhibition by ALA soaking treatment exhibited apparently, indicating that ALA absorbed through root system was translocated into shoot part of plants. ALA reduced plant heights of rice and barnyardgrass seedlings by 6% and 27%, respectively, showing more tolerant to ALA in rice under wet condition. Leaf thickness was reduced markedly by ALA with increasing of ALA concentration, due to mainly membrane destruction and severe loss of turgidity in mesophyll cells, although the epidermal was little affected. It was observed that photodynamic herbicidal activity of ALA applied by pre-and post-emergence application exhibited differently on plant species, and that the activity of ALA against susceptible plants was highly correlated with growing condition.

D-class cyclins play important roles in controlling the cell cycle in development and in response to external signals by forming the regulatory subunit of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) complexes. To evaluate the effects of D-class cyclins in transgenic rice plants, Arabidopsis cyclin D2 gene (CycD2) was linked to the maize ubiquitin1 promoter (Ubi1) and introduced into rice by the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method. Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), and Western blot hybridizations of the Ubi1:-CycD2 plants revealed copy number of transgene and its increased expression in leaf and callus cells at messenger RNA (mRNA) and/or protein levels. The H1 kinase assay using the immunoprecipitates of protein extracts from the Ubi1:CycD2 plants and nontransgenic controls demonstrated that the introduced Arabidopsis CycD2 forms a functional CycD2/CDK complex with an unidentified CDK of rice. Shoot and root growth was enhanced in the Ubi1:CycD2 seedlings compared with nontransgenic controls, together, suggesting that Arabidopsis cyclin D2 interacts with a rice cyclin-dependent kinase, consequently enhancing seedling growth.

Electroporation of microcalli and embryonic axes of a Brazilian Indica rice cultivar was performed. Some parameters influencing the recovery of transformed callus have been defined through transient npt II expression. Such parameters included the presence of light during incubation of microcalli used as target for electroporation, heat shock at 45$^{\circ}C$, macerozyme pre-digestion of target tissues and the number of pulses during electroporation. Transgenic calli were obtained from embryonic axes after electroporation with plasmid pDM302, which encodes the gene phosphinotricin acetyl transferase (bar) under the control of Act-1 promoter. Integration of the introduced gene into the genome was demonstrated by Southern blot hybridization.

Recombinant human GM -CSF was expressed and secreted from transgenic rice cell suspension cultures in its biologically active form. This was accomplished by transforming rice callus tissues with an expression vector, pMYN44. containing the hGM -CSF cDNA. Regulated expression and secretion of hGM -CSF from this vector achieved using the promoter, signal peptide, and terminator from a rice alfa-amylase gene Amy3D. The Amy3D gene is expressed in response to sugar deprivation. The recombinant hGM -CSF was expressed from the transgenic rice cell culture on the sugar-free medium as a yield of about 110 mg/L in the culture filtrate, which was determined by ELISA. Biological activity of hGM-CSF was confirmed by measuring the proliferation of the hGM -CSF dependent TF -1 cells.(This work was supported by a grant from the NRL program of the Korean Ministry of Science and Technology.

1.5% NaCl이 함유된 배지에 캘러스를 치상하여 방사선을 처리한 결과 무처리구보다 처리구 (30, 50 Gy)에서 캘러스 생존율 및 재분화율이 증가하여 내염성 캘러스를 선발하는데 방사선의 적용이 효과적임을 알 수 있었고, 내염성 캘러스에서 재분화된 M$_3$세대 종자에서 내염성 계통들은 모품종보다 초장, 근장 및 근수의 생육이 우수하여 이러한 계통은 내염성 연구를 위한 유용한 유전자원으로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 RAPD 기술은 대조구와 내염성 캘러스에서 재분화된 계통을 구분하는데 유용한 기술임을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구실에서 개발된 particle inflow gun (PIG)은 조작이 간편하고, 사용비용도 저렴하며, 식물 세포 내의 유전자 도입효율이 높은 특징을 갖고 있다. PIG 장비를 이용하여 벼 캘러스 내로의 유전자 도입 조건을 검토하기 위해서 사용된 vector는 pIG121Hm으로서 T-DNA 내부에 intron GUS ($\beta$-glucuronidase)와 hygromycin 및 kanamycin 저항성 유전자를 포함하고 있다. 또한 벼 캘러스 내에 물리적으로 DNA를 도입할 때에 DNA 도입 효율과 관계가 높은 요인들을 GUS의 발현빈도를 통하여 조사하였다. 그 결과 gold particle에 DNA를 부착하는 과정에 사용되는 spermidine과 calcium chloride의 경우 무첨가구에 비해 16 mM의 spermidine과 1.5 M의 calcium chloride 첨가구에서 GUS 발현율이 각각 2배, 3배 증가하였다. 그리고 1회 분사되는 gold particles양이 2 mg의 경우 가장 높은 GUS 발현율을 보여주었으며, 또한 PIG장비의 분사거리와 헬륨의 압력은 벼의 배양세포의 경우 12cm의 분사거리에서 3.5 bar (50 psi)의 헬륨압력으로 분사하였을 때 GUS 발현율이 가장 높았다. 이상의 결과에서 PIG 장비를 이용한 유전자 도입은 본 연구에서 검토한 최적의 조건을 이용하였을 경우 기존에 많이 사용되고 있는 Biolistic Gun (Bio-Rad 사)과 거의 비슷한 유전자 도입효율을 보여 주었다. 특히 PIG 장비의 경우 조작이 매우 간편하고, 분사에 사용되는 일회용 부품이 필요하지 않기 때문에 대량의 반복실험을 필요로 하는 연구에서 손쉽게 사용되리라 기대된다.

As a consequence of tissue culture of rice, RAPD analysis was peformed to determine whether extended culture periods as undifferentiated calli affected the subsequent genetic constancy, and whether any resulting DNA rearrangements could be detected between sibling plants produced from the same callus. Somaclonal variation was induced at the initial stage of tissue culture and it increased with the length of culture maintenance. Of the 192 total bands, the number of polymorphic bands was 22 (11.5%), 33 (17.2%), and 49 (25.5%) in the callus of 1,3, and 6 months culture, respectively. A significantly higher level of genotypic polymorphisms between regenerants from two different somaclones was also detected, although all the regenerants were derived from a single genotype. In comparison of DNA polymorphisms between regenerants from non-irradiated and from irradiated calli, a scope of variation spectrum by gamma ray irradiation was larger than that by tissue culture. Consideration must be given to this genomic variation where attempts are to be made to use desirable somaclonal variants for plant breeding purpose and in genetic engineering program.
