Growing interest in the nasal route as a drug delivery system calls for a reliable in vitro model which is crucial for efficiently evaluating drug transport through the nasal cells. Various in vitro cell culture systems has thus been developed to displace the ex vivo excised nasal tissue and in vivo animal models. Due to species difference, results from animal studies are not sufficient for estimating the drug absorption kinetics in humans. However, the difficulty in obtaining reliable human tissue source limits the use of primary culture of human nasal epithelial cells. This shortage of human nasal tissue has therefore prompted studies on the "passage" culture of nasal epithelial cells. A serially passaged primary human nasal epithelial cell monolayer system developed by the air-liquid interface (ALI) culture is known to promote the differentiation of cilia and mucin gene and maintain high TEER values. Recent studies on the in vitro nasal cell culture systems for drug transport studies are reviewed in this article.

The aim of this study was to establish a three dimensional (3D) culture system of endometrial cells and to examine the plasminogen activators (PAs) activity in porcine uterine. The 3D culture system in porcine endometrial cells was composed to mixture 3D gel, stromal cells and epithelial cells. The 3D culture system was used to identify normal structure search as uterine tissue and PAs expression in this study. In results, porcine endometrium epithelial cells forming a top monolayer and endometrium stromal cells developed as fibroblast-like within 3D matrix scaffold. Expression of urokinase-type PA (uPA) and tissue-type PA (tPA) were observed during the 3D culture using immunofluorescence. PA activity in 3D-cultured endometrial cells was no significant difference between the tissue type, but 2D culture system were significantly lower than in 3D-cultured endometrial cells (P<0.05). Therefore, basic system and functional aspect of 3D culture could be established with similar system of endometrium tissue. We suggest that this study was assumed applicable as baseline data to investigate mechanism between porcine uterus cells in vitro.

In order to pursue some physiological studies on organogenesis in ginseng tissue culture, ginseng root explants were cultured on a modified MS medium containing NAA and kinetin. The activities of peroxidase and some enzymes were investigated and their isoenzyme patterns were also observed. The activity of peroxidase decreased by 20% in one week's culture and increased thereafter by 80% in culturing for 7 weeks compared with the control group. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity increased by 400% after culturing for 5 weeks and increased during the days preceeding root formation. The activities of glutamate dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase also increased during the culture. After 3 weeks' culture, new peroxidase isozyme (pH 7.6) appeared and 7 weeks' culture, another new peroxidase isozyme (pH unidentified) appeared. These patterns were also identified by using FPLC. After 7 weeks' culture, a new esterase isozyme of pH 8.5 appeared and isozyme patterns of acid phosphatase were quite changed compared with the isozyme patterns of tissue cultured for 5 weeks. In so far as these new isoenzymes appear distinctively after 7 weeks' culture, root differentiation is supposed to be induced after 7 weeks' culture.

유전자 가위 기술 등 생명공학 기술을 콩에 적용하여 새로운 품종을 개발하기 위해서는 효율적인 조직배양 기술이 필수적이다. 식물의 유전형은 조직배양 효율에 의존하는 형질전환 기술의 성공 여부를 결정짓는 중요한 요소로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 콩 핵심 집단 내 21개 자원들을 선발하여, 외래 품종 2종과 함께 조직배양 효율을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 근연 관계가 높은 Kwangan, Anpyeong, Seonam은 발아율과 재분화 효율이 높았으며, Daepung, Daewon 품종은 발아율과 재분화율 모두 낮게 관찰되었다. 또한 3종의 외래 품종에서는 표준 유전체 해독에 사용된 Williams82와 Jack, Maverick 모두 높은 조직배양 효율을 보였다. 조직배양 효율이 높은 자원들을 대상으로 Agrobacterium법에 의한 형질전환을 수행하여 PCR 및 bar-strip 분석한 결과 Kwangan, Pungwon, Seonam, 그리고 Maverick 품종에서 제초제 저항성 유전자의 삽입을 확인할 수 있었다. 이들 결과를 바탕으로 농업적 가치가 높은 다양한 콩 품종들의 형질전환을 통한 새로운 품종 개발이 가능할 것이다.

We, Tong Yang Moolsan Co. Ltd. (TYM) set up the mass-production system for virus-free seed garlic via tissue culture technique. TYM's tissue culture technique is called as 'Multiple shoot propagation technique'. This technique can lead mass propagation of genetically homogeneous seed garlic in a short period because of its highly proliferation rate of in vitro shoots ($15^{10}$ /year). TYM researchers applied the technique to some selected garlic cultivars with superior characteristics and carried out field test of productivity in the inside and outside of the country for several years. According to the yearly results of field test with virus-free seed garlic, we ascertained that virus-free seed garlic can produce the highly yield increase (max. above $50\%$) and also can enhance the product quality. Consequently, we estimated that TYM's seed garlic will contribute to farmers with increase of income and can elevate the national position of garlic market in the world for its competitive power of technical and production cost.

Plantlet regeneration in Asteracantha longifolia(L.) Nees (Acanthaceae), a medicinal herb has been achieved from seedling explants on basal MS medium. Three different seedling explants including node, internode and leaf segments on used. Of these three explant, leaf explants gave better response for both callus mediated organogenesis and direct multiple shoot induction. Number of explants showing differentiation of shout buds was higher on MS media supplemented with BA compared to kinetin. MS medium fortified with BA ($2.0mgl^{-1}$) and NAA ($0.5mgl^{-1}$) was found to be most suitable for both callus mediated organogenesis and elongation of shouts. The elongated shoots were successfully routed on MS medium fortified with NAA or IBA. Among them $0.1mgl^{-1}$ NAA or $0.2mgl^{-1}$ IBA provides better response for rhizogenesis. Regenerated plantlets were successfully established in soil where 85.4% or them developed into morphologically normal and fertile plants. RAPD profiling using four decamer primers confirmed the genetic uniformity of the regenerated plantlets and substantiated the efficacy and suitability of this protocol for in vitro propagation of A. longifolia.

Cymbidium is horticulturally important and has been one of the most commercially successful orchid plants as well as cut flowers around the world including Korea. Up to now, a huge number of elite Cymbidium cultivars have been released on the commercial market via cross-hybridization, mutation and polyploidization breeding techniques. To investigate on breeding system in Cymbidium, we inquired the brief history and techniques of breeding and the current status on Cymbidium breeding in Korea. Also, the general propagation process of elite Cymbidium lines via tissue culture should be presented. However, the slow process of conventional breeding and the lack of useful genes in Cymbidium species delays the introduction of new cultivars to the commercial market. To solve these limitations, efficient regeneration and genetic transformation systems should be established in the improvement of Cymbidium breeding program. During the last several decades, some progress has been made in tissue culture and genetic transformation in Cymbidium species. We review the recent status of tissue culture and genetic transformation systems in Cymbidium plants.

Hibiscus cannabinus, Cassia fistula and Abutilon indicum are medicinally important plants in India. Tissue culture studies have done for efficient propagation and for crop improvement in these three plants. Various explants were tried for callus induction, somatic embryogenesis and organagenesis with manipulation in culture media. Calli and somatic embryos were induced from hypocotyl explants in Hibiscus cannabinus, while in Cassia fistula and Abutilon indicum it could be obtained from leaf explants.
