벼에 있어서 엽록체 small heat shock protein(small HSP)의 기능을 밝히기 위하여 Agrobacterium을 이용한 형질전환법을 이용하여 벼로부터 분리한 small HSP cDNA를 도입하였다. Agrobacterium의 감염에는 벼의 미성숙 배로부터 유도한 callus를 이용하였다. 형질전환 후의 재분화율은 약 30%였다. 형질전환을 통하여 얻어진 식물체의 genomic DNA로부터 PCR 분석과 Southern blot 분석으로 엽록체 small HSP 유전자의 도입을 확인하였다. 도입 유전자의 형질전환 벼에 있어서 유전자의 발현 양상을 northern blot 분석으로 조사하였다. 그 결과 도입된 유전자는 상온에서의 발현량이 서로 다르게 나타났으며 항상적으로 발현하고 있음을 확인하였다.

국내 재배종 토마토 서광 품종으로부터 분리한 Polygalacturonase 유전자(PG2)의 3'측 1.1 kb cDNA 단편을 식물 형질전환용 운반체에 antisense 방향으로 삽입한 후 자엽을 이용하여 토마토내 도입하여 형질전환 토마토를 획득하였다. 형질전환 토마토(T$^{0}$ )를 도입시켜 그 종자를 1 mg/mL 농도의 kanamycin 함유 MS 배지에서 발아시켜 분리 집단 중에서 T$_1$9 식물체를 얻었다. T$_1$9의 Genomic Southern blot 분석 결과, antisense PG 유전자 1개가 염색체 내로 삽입되었음을 확인하였고 RNA gel blot 분석으로 endogenous PG mRNA보다 antisense PG RNA가 강하게 발현됨을 확인하였다. T$_1$9 계통 10개체의 성숙 토마토 과피조직내의 PG 효소 활성도 4~60%까지 저해되었다.

Chicken primordial germ cells (cPGCs) are founder germ cells in embryonic stage of development that eventually give rise to sperms or oocytes. Currently cPGCs are only known cells enabling germline transmission in chicken and their cultivation protocols were recently established. Although genome modifications of chickens are now theoretically possible using cPGCs, there are still several hurdles to overcome to practically use cPGCs as mediators for chicken transgenesis. First, efficiency of gene delivery into cPGCs remains low with current methods. Second, there aregene silencing mechanisms against the expression of foreign genes in cPGCs. In this study, we successfully increased the efficiency of gene delivery in cPGCs by taking advantage of the TTAA-specific $piggybac$ transposon system. Moreover, a pipette-type electroporator significantly enhanced transfection efficiency up to 5-fold compared withcuvette-type methods. Taken together, the technological advances in our study will provide practical benefits for the application to fulfill genetic modifications of chicken genome.

There are several gene transfer methods available to introduce foreign DNA into animal. The most common method at present is microinjection. However, the overall efficiency of producing practical application of gene transfer technology to livestock species is production of pharmaceuticals. Rare human proteins, which cannot be produced into milk of transgenic animals. Large amount of biologically active protein may be obtained from transgenic farm animals using this system. Growth-related application to livestock species using growth hormone genes or factor genes have been disappointing. There were many undesirable side effects noted in the transgenic animals. More sophisticated on or off transgene expression are needed to control expression of transgenes in the transgenic animals. Turning positive effects while circumventing potentially harmful effects.

The key to development of barnase-barstar transgene based hybrid seed technology is the availability of tightly regulated tapetum specific promoter, as any leaky expression of the barnase gene leads to several unintended effects. In the present study, we used two different tapetum specific promoters i.e. promoter of the RTS gene isolated from rice cultivar IR64 and the OsG6b promoter from japonica rice cultivar Hayayuki to express the barnase gene in rice transgenic lines. While viable male sterile transgenic lines could not be obtained with RTS promoter we could develop single copy male sterile lines when the barnase gene was expressed under the OsG6b promoter.

There are many methods to introduce exogenous DNA into embryo for the purpose of producing transgenic animals. Exogenous gene can be integrated into oocyte as a form of sperm vector. In this study, sperm was used as a vector for transgene that is enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of exogenous gene in bovine embryos after injection of spermatozoa cocultured with EGFP fragment. Spermatozoa were plunged into liquid nitrogen and thawed several times or shaked in 0.2% Triton X-100 to remove sperm membrane which followed by DTT treatment. (omitted)

Transgenic zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica cv. Zenith) plants have been obtained by particle bombardment of embryogenic callus with the plasmid pSMABuba, which contains hygromycin resistance (hpt) and bialaphos resistance (bar) genes. Parameters on DNA delivery efficiency of the particle bombardment were partially optimized using transient expression assay of a chimeric $\beta-glucuronidase$(gusA) gene driven by the CaMV 35S promoter. Stably transfarmed zoysiagrass plants were recovered with a selection scheme using hygromycin. Transgenic zoysiagrass plants were confirmed by PCR analysis with specific primer for bar gene. Expression of the transgene in transformed zoysiagrass plants was demonstrated by Reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR analysis. All the tested transgenic plants showed herbicide BastaR resistance at the field application rate of $0.1\%-0.3\%$.

The feasibility of the use of Flp-mediated cassette exchange in the development of a CHO cell line, which produces erythropoietin (EPO) stably and largely, was investigated. A stable, high enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP)-producing clone was screened by extensive flow cytometric analysis. An EPO expression unit was targeted into the premarked locus of the stable parental clone by Flp-mediated cassette exchange and a correctly targeted clone (FC28T7) was obtained. The EPO production of FC28T7 was proven to be stable in long-term culture. Furthermore, the Flp-mediated cassette exchange did not alter the stable parental clone's characteristics concerning transgene expression level and stability. Taken together, the data obtained here indicated that the establishment of CHO cell lines stably producing a desired protein is achievable using Flp-mediated cassette exchange.

SOD2-transgenic $T_3$ petunia line (A2-36-2-1-1-35) was treated with different levels of methyl viologen (MV) to determine its resistance to oxidative stress. Four (4) levels of MV (0, 100, 200, and $400\;{\mu}M$) were applied. The SOD2-transgenic $T_3$ petunia line exhibited a very significant oxidative stress resistance at the highest MV concentration ($400\;{\mu}M$) treatment compared to non-transgenic plant. RNA and protein expression of SOD2 transgene and higher parenchyma cell density in the transgenic petunias exhibiting resistance to oxidative stress proves its contribution to the expression of its resistance to oxidative stress.

We previously isolated 9 clones that show stronger signal compared to Bombyx mori cytoplasmic actin gene (BmA3) by using a dot blot hybridization. In this study, we focused on one clone among these clones which has high amino acid similarity with ${\beta}$-tubulin gene of B. mori. This clone was ubiquitously expressed in all tissues and developmental stage of B. mori. As result of promoter assay using dual luciferase assay system, we found the highest transcription activity region (-750/-1) in the 5'-flanking region of ${\beta}$-tubulin gene, which has about 47 fold more intensive promoter activity than BmA3 promoter. Moreover, the ${\beta}$-tubulin promoter was normally regulated in Bm5, Sf9, and S2 cells. Therefore, we suggest that ${\beta}$-tubulin promoter may be used more powerful and effectively for transgene expression in various insects containing B. mori as a universal promoter.
