Plant cell culture is emerging to express bioactive foreign proteins because it has several advantages in that it is safe, economical, genetically stable and eukaryotic expression system comparing with other expression systems. However several limitations such as slow growth rate, low expression level and lack of well established down stream process need to be answered. As a preliminary approach to produce the immunologically interested molecules through the plant cell culture, we tested if granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factors (GM-CSFs) from both murine (mGM-CSF) and human (hGM-CSF) are produced as a biologically active form through plant cell culture. The murine and human GM-CSF genes were cloned into the plant expression vector, pBI121, and Ti-plasmid mediated transformation of tobacco leaves was conducted using Agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring both recombinant GM-CSF (rGM-CSF) genes. Cell suspension culture was established from the leaf-derived calli of transgenic tobacco plant. Northern blot analysis indicated the expression of the introduced mGM-CSF gene in both transgenic plant and cell suspension cultures. In addition, the biological activities of both murine and human GM-CSF from plant cell culture were confirmed by measuring the proliferation of the GM-CSF dependent FDC-PI and TF-1 cells, respectively.

Experiments initiated 30 years ago to obtain selectable markers have led to a series of studies of Trp biosynthesis and anthranilate synthase (AS) the control enzyme using largely plant tissue cultures since they have experimental properties that can be readily exploited. Enzymological and compound feeding studies provided evidence that AS is the control point in the Trp biosynthesis branch and that altering the AS feedback control by the selection of mutants resistant to the Trp analog 5-methyl-tryptophan (5MT) can lead to the overproduction of this important amino acid. Plants regenerated from these Trp overproducing lines of most species also had high free Trp levels but Nicotiana tabaum (tobacco) plants expressed the feedback altered AS only in cultured cells and not in the regenerated plants. further tests by transient and stable expression of the cloned promoter for the naturally occurring tobacco feedback-insensitive AS, denoted ASA2, confirmed the tissue culture specific nature of the expression control. The 5MT caused by the expression of a feedback-insensitive AS from tobacco has been used to select protoplast fusion hybrids with several species since the resistance is expressed dominantly. Recently the ASA2 gene has been used successfully as a selectable marker to select transformed Astragalus sinicus and Glycine max hairy roots induced by Agrobactetium rhizogenes. These results show that the ASA2y-subunit can interact with the y-subunit of another species to form active feedback-insensitive enzyme that may be useful for selecting transformed cells. Plastid DNA transformation of tobacco has also effectively expressed ASA2 in the compartment in which Trp biosynthesis is localized in the cell.

Fructans are polyfructose molecules that function as nonstructural storage carbohydrates in several plants. In addition, it has been suggested that, due to their solubility, they can play an important role in helping plants survive periods of osmotic stress. In order to study the effect of levan synthesis on plant growth, the coding region of the levansucrase gene, which was isolated from Zymomonas mobilis, was introduced into tobacco plants using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. The presence of the levansucrase gene in transgenic plants was verified by genomic DNA gel blot analysis. RNA gel blot and immunoblot analyses showed an accumulation of the corresponding transcript and protein product of the bacterial levansucrase gene in transgenic plants. Furthermore, a thin layer chromatography analysis revealed that fructans were synthesized and deposited in transgenic tobacco plants. When $T_1$ seeds were germinated and grown under polyethylene glycol-mediated drought stress or cold stress, the transgenic seedlings displayed a substantially higher level of growth than that of untransformed plants. These results suggest that fructans may playa significant role in the tolerance of plants under osmotic stress.

Dehydroascorbate (DHA) reductase (DHAR, EC 1.8.5.1) catalyzes the reduction of DHA to reduced ascorbate (AsA) using glutathione (GSH) as the electron donor in order to maintain an appropriate level of ascorbate in plant cells. To analyze the physiological role of DHAR in environmental stress adaptation, we developed transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi) plants that express a human DHAR gene isolated from the human fetal liver cDNA library in the chloroplasts. We also investigated the DHAR activity, levels of ascorbate, and GSH. Two transgenic plants were successfully developed by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and were confirmed by PCR and Southern blot analysis. DHAR activity and AsA content in mature leaves of transgenic plants were approximately 1.41 and 1.95 times higher than in the non-transgenic (NT) plants, respectively In addition, the content of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in transgenic plants was approximately 2.95 times higher than in the NT plants. The ratios of AsA to DHA and GSSG to GSH were changed by overexpression of DHAR, as expected, even though the total content of ascorbate and glutathione was not significantly changed. When tobacco leaf discs were subjected to methyl viologen at $5\;{\mu}M$, $T_0$ transgenic plants showed about a 50% reduction in membrane damage compared to the NT plants.

형질전환 식물체에서 외래 단백질의 발현을 높이기 위하여, 외래 단백질 유전자를 TMV RNA 또는 Gy2 5'-untranslated leader 부위와 재조합시킨 plasmid들을 제조하였다. pGA643에서 유래된 이들 plasmid에는 cauliflower mosaic virus의 35S promoter와 Gy2 terminator를 포함하고 있고, 외래 유전자로는 옥수수의 10kDa zein (10kZ) 유전자를 사용하였다. Gy2 또는 TMV RNA의 leader 부위는 promoter 부위와 단백질 coding sequence 사이에 삽입하였다. Agrobacterium을 매개로 하는 leaf disc 형질전환법을 이용하여 재조합 단백질들을 담배에 도입하였다. Leader를 포함하지 않은 도입 유전자의 전사 효율이 leader를 포함하는 도입 유전자들 보다 높았지만, leader를 포함한 mRNA들이 보다 효율적으로 전사되었다. 이는 5'-untranslated sequence의 길이와 AUG codon 주위의 context에 의한 영향보다는 이들 leader sequence의 특이적 염기서열에 의한 영향이 큼을 의미한다. 이러한 결과는 형질전환된 담배에서 외래 유전자의 전이효율을 조절하는 데 있어서 Gy2와 TMV의 leader sequence들이 enhancer로서 역할을 하고 있음을 의미한다.

The coat protein (CP) gene of cucumber mosaic virus-As (CMV-As) strain was engineered for expression in the plant by using the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S transcript regulatory sequences. The CP gene was cloned into an Agrobacterium-derived binary vector. A chimeric gene was constructed by the cDNA of CMV-As CP and plant expression vector pBI121. The clone, pCMAS66, was first introduced into the phagemid vector pSPORT1 for situating sense orientation for translation and making restriction sites in order to re-introduce plant expression vector, pHI121. The resulting subclone pCASCP02 and plant expression vector pBI121 were treated with BamHI-SacI for excising the target gene and removing GUS gene, respectively. After Agrobacterium transformation by freeze-thaw technique, the clone, pCMASCP121-123 which contains sense orientation of the target gene, was selected and confirmed by restriction endonuclease analysis. The CMV-As CP gene was introduced into A. tumefaciens. The results on tobacco plant transformation with the vector system revealed that the system could be successfully introduced and showed high frequency of selection to putative transformations.

엽록체 형질전환된 식물체를 얻으려면 먼저 세포수준에서 모든 엽록체가 형질전환되어야 하는데, 세포내에는 많은 수의 엽록체가 존재하므로, 엽록체 형질전환 벡터가 전이되어 형질전환된 엽록체는 선발배지에서 선택적으로 분열을 계속하고 형질전환되지 않은 엽록체들은 분열을 하지 못하게 되어, 결국 해당 세포내의 모든 엽록체가 형질전환된 상태에 이르게 된다. 따라서 만일 해당 세포내에 엽록체의 수가 적으면 그만큼 효율적으로 엽록체 형질전환을 할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 담배의 FtsZ 유전자를 핵형질전환법으로 과잉 발현시킴으로써 엽록체의 분열이 저해되어 엽육세포내에 거대한 엽록체 3-5개를 가진 담배식물체의 엽육조직을 이용하여, 엽록체 형질전환을 한 결과, 엽록체 형질전환 빈도가 약 40% 증가되었다.

비선택성 제초제인 bialaphos는 고등식물에 있어서 glutamine 합성을 억제하여 식물체를 고사 시키는 능력을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서 acetylteansferase에 의해 encoding된 bialaphos 저항성 유전자(bar gene)는 세균(Pseudomonas sryngae pv tabaci)의 genomic DNA로부터 cloning된 것을 사용하였다. 수분시킨 담배의 화계에 일정한 시간별로 bar 유전자를 처리한 결과 수분 후 30-40시간 사이의 처리구 에서 형질전환 식물체가 가장 많이 얻어 졌다. 그러한 형질전환 식물체의 kanamycin과 bialaphos 저항성 형질은 자식후대(T$_1$, T$_2$)에 있어서도 우성형질로 유전되었으나 wild type의 담배는 상기의 약제를 처리 하였을때 전부 고사하였다. 그리고, T$_1$세대의 형질전환 식물체로부터 전 염색체 DNA를 추출하여 Southern 분석한 결과 bar 유전자가 식물의 염색체상에 안정하게 존재하는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 담배의 수분, 수정 시기에 외부유전자인 bar를 화주에 처리함으로써 bialaphos 저항성 식물을 만들어낼 수 있었다.
