We estimated phenotypic selection on the height and number of flowering-stalks in a rosette annual Cardamine hirsuta by applying path analysis to the data collected at three natural populations located in central Japan. The path from rosette size was positively connected with the fruit production through the both height and number of flowering-stalks. In the all three populations, the paths from the number of stalks were more strongly connected with the fruit production than from the height of stalks. The paths from the rosette size showed similar magnitude with the number of stalks and the height of stalks. The direct path from rosette size to the fruit production was detected only at one site. These results suggest stronger phenotypic selection on the rosette size through the number of stalks than the height of stalks. The lateral branching rather than increment of individual inflorescence size is the major response to control the fruit production for C. hirsuta growing in a natural habitat.

Peach rosette mosaic virus (PRMV)는 1933년 복숭아에서 처음 보고되었으며, 복숭아, 자두, 블루베리, 민들레, 벚나무 등에 감염되는 식물바이러스이다. PRMV는 한국에서 보고된 적이 없으나, 식물검역에서 관리병(control viruses)으로 지정되어 있다. 이번 연구에서는 PRMV를 더욱 신속하고 특이적으로 진단하기 위하여 Loop-mediated isothermal amplification 분석법을 적용한 진단법을 개발하였다. LAMP 방법은 기존의 PCR 방법(RT-PCR 및 nested PCR)과 같은 검출 강도를 가지고 있다. 또한 LAMP 반응을 확인하기 위해 PRMV cDNA을 outer primer sets (Product size 264 bp)로 PCR 한 뒤, Pvu II (CAG/CTG) 제한효소를 처리하였다. 제한효소 처리 결과 2개의 digestion fragments (207 + 57 bp)가 확인되었다. PRMV의 LAMP 진단 방법은 관련 식물로부터 더욱 신속한 모니터링이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

제주도에서 자생하는 갯쑥부쟁이(Heteropappus hispidus (Thunb.))에 감마선을 10, 20, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 300, 400 Gy 수준으로 나누어서 조사한 뒤 발아율 및 발아 30일 후의 본엽 출현율, $LD_{50}$, 본엽길이, 줄기부분의 안토시아닌 색소 형성 유무, 생육 60일 후의 로젯형 엽, multi-shoot 형성율, 초장, 개화 결실률 등의 주요 양적형질들을 생존개체를 대상으로 실시하였다. 120Gy 까지의 발아율은 88.5%로 대조구와 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나 160Gy 이상에서부터는 급격히 감소하여 치사선량($LD_{50}$)은 160 Gy 범위 정도였다. 또한, 본엽 출현율과 그 길이는 조사선량이 높아질수록 억제되었다. 안토시아닌 색소 형성은 조사선량이 높을수록 대조구 2%에서 30%로 높아졌으며 로젯형도 고선량 처리구에서 발생하였다. Multi-shooting은 80Gy 이상일 때부터 나타났으며 multi-shooting을 형성하는 개체들은 초장은 짧고 줄기는 가늘게 다발형으로 자라는 특성이 있어서 만일 형질이 고정된다면 화분 관상용 개체로 선발하기에 적합하였다. 특히, 조사선량이 증가됨에 따라서 안토시아닌 색소 형성, 로젯형 개체, multi-shoot등의 개체가 많이 출현되었는데 이는 돌연변이 유기의 선발지표가 될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Transient uidA expression was used to optimize parameters required for biolistic transformation of suspension cells of Easter lily, Lilium longiflourm. Maximum uidA expression occurred following bombardment with gold particles as compared to tungsten. A 3hr pre-treatment of suspension cells with 0.125M osmoticum resulted in a 1.5X increase in uidA expression. A helium pressure of 1550 psi combined with a particle travelling distance of 6cm resulted in maximum uidA expression as compared to either 1100, 1200, or 1800 psi. Transient transformation resulted in up to 493 uidA expressing cells/Petri plate. For stable transformation suspension cells of Lilium longiflorum, were co-bombarded with plasmid DNA containing cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) replicase under the rice actin (Act1) promoter and either the bar or PAT genes under the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV 355) promoter. Ten regenerated plants contained the transgene as analyzed by PCR, and two of the ten plants were confirmed to contain the transgene by Southern hybridization. The two transgenic plants were independent transformants, one containing the bar gene and the other both the CMV replicase and bar genes. Plants were sprayed at the rosette stage and found to be resistant to 1000 mg/L of phosphinothricin (Trade name-Ignite) indicating expression of the bar gene throughout the leaves when bar was under control of the CaMV 35S promoter.

Phytoplasmas were identified from two chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum) plants showing different symptoms ; one with stusting, rosette, and excessive branching (Ph-ch1), and the other with stunting and chlorosis (Ph-ch2). Electron microscopy of midrib of the plants with the symptoms revealed that numerous phytoplasmas were localized in the phloem cells. The disease was transmitted from infected plants to healthy ones by grafting. Phytoplasma-specific DNA was detected in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis with template DNA extracted from the leaves of Ph-ch1 and Ph-ch2, both of which yielded a same DNA band corresponding to 1.5 kb. Using a specific primer pair (R16F1/R1) synthesized based on aster yellows (AY) phytoplasma, a DNA fragment of 1.1 kb was amplified by PCR. Endonuclease restriction patterns of the 1.1 kb PCR products from Ph-ch1 and Ph-ch2, which were dgeste with each of the restriction endonucleases Sau3A, Hha, Alu and Rsa, were same as those of AY phytoplasma from periwinkle. This suggests that the chrysanthemum plants (Ph-ch1 and Ph-ch2) be infected with a phytoplasma belonging to AY phytoplasma.

Analysis of vegetation on the pavements and under the trees of streets in Seoul city were investigated from July to November 1989. All of the vascular herbs were 9 orders, 13 families, 30 genera, 37 species and 1 forma. Species diversity and evenness index were higher on the pavements than under the trees of streets. Eragrostis multicaulis with C-4 pathway was a dominant species, and next orders of importace values were Eleusine indica(C-4), Digitaria sanguinalis(C-4), Taraxacum officinale(C-3) and Erigeron annus(C-3). On the pavements and under the trees of streets, light intensity and surface temperature were very high, Also, these sites were affected by many kinds of human interferences. Therefore, it was an example of adaptation to specific ecological environments that C-4 plats were more dominant than C-3, growth forms of C-3 plants were rosette or prostrate, and annual or biennial plants were distributed in these studied sites. Generally, fruits types were grains, achens and capsules. Seeds were very small and some had appendages such as pappus.

Backgrounds: In arid grasslands, wells are subject to heavy trampling and grazing pressure, which can increase vulnerability to local land degradation. To investigate trampling and grazing, we surveyed plant communities at three well sites in the desert steppe of Mongolia, using 1600-m line transects from the wells. The sites (Bshrub, Sshrub, and shrubL) differed by concomitant shrub type (big shrub, small shrub, and shrub-limited) and livestock pressure (light, medium, and heavy). A plant classification scheme based on edibility and morphology (rosette or creeping type) was used to separate grazing and trampling effects on plant communities. Results: Edible plants were dominant at all sites but a fraction of grazing- and trampling-tolerant plants increased in the order Bshrub, Sshrub, and shrubL, following livestock pressure. Clear transition zones from inedible to edible plant groups were recognized but at different locations and ranges among the sites. Trampling-tolerant plants explained 90% of inedible plants at Sshrub with camels and horses, but grazing-tolerant plants prevailed (60%) at shrubL with the largest livestock number. Plant coverage increased significantly along the transects at Bshrub and Sshrub but showed no meaningful change at shrubL. Herbaceous plant biomass showed significant positive and negative trends at Bshrub and shrubL, respectively. Conclusions: Both grazing and trampling can produce larger fractions of inedible plants; in this, camel and horses can have considerable effects on desert-steppe plant communities through trampling.

Arabidopsis trp1 mutant plants, deficient in phosphoribosyI anthranilate transferase (PAT) activity, accumulate anthranilate compounds, which render them blue fluorescence. The visible phenotype of trp1 makes the PAT gene an excellent reporter gene in the mutant. In order to develop a system for the homologous recombination using the phenotypic characteristic of trp1-100, we established optimum conditions for the isolation and regenera tion of protoplast from auxin-conditioned, trp1-100 root cultures. Trvptophan had to be supplemented in the germination medium for the efficient cell division and subsequent plant regeneration. When 10 uM tryptophan was added to the germination medium, we obtained the highest yield of protoplasts ($3{\times}10^6 cells/g$) and the best viability (92%). Thirty percent of root protoplast derived from meristematic cells underwent cell division within 5 days in callus-induction medium. Regenerated rosette leaves (2-3 mm) were transferred to rooting medium and finally acclimated to the soil for flowering.
