색소체 transit 서열이 결여된 Bradyrhizobium japonicum ALA-S 유전자를 과발현하는 형질전환 벼의 광역학적 스트레스에 의해 유도되는 항산화반응을 조사하였다. $350{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ 의 높은 광 수준은 야생형 벼에 비교하였을 때 형질전환 계통인 C4와 C5의 quantum yield를 감소시켰다. 대조적으로, 높은 광수준 하에서 형질전환 계통 C4와 C5의 nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) 수준은 야생형 계통과 낮은 광 수준 하의 형질전환 계통에 비해 높은 증가를 보여주었다. 형질전환 계통에서 높은 NPQ 수준은 xanthophyll인 zeaxanthin 수준의 증가와 밀접한 관련이 있었다. $150{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ 의 낮은 광 수준과 비교하였을 때 높은 광 수준에서 violaxanthin 수준이 야생형 벼에서 증가하였으나, 형질전환 C4와 C5 계통에서는 현저하게 감소하였다. 형질전환 벼에서 nonphotochemical energy dissipation과 광보호기작을 가진 xanthophyll 색소가 광역학적 피해를 조절하는데 결정적인 역할을 하는 것으로 생각되나, 이러한 기작이 광역학 스트레스를 극복하지는 못하였고 결과적으로 photobleaching 증상에 이르게 하였다.

Background: Protopanaxatriol (PPT) is an aglycone of ginsenosides, which has high medicinal values. Production of PPT from natural ginseng plants requires artificial deglycosylation procedures of ginsenosides via enzymatic or physicochemical treatments. Metabolic engineering could be an efficient technology for production of ginsenoside sapogenin. For PPT biosynthesis in Panax ginseng, damarenediol-II synthase (PgDDS) and two cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP716A47 and CYP716A53v2) are essentially required. Methods: Transgenic tobacco co-overexpressing P. ginseng PgDDS, CYP716A47, and CYP716A53v2 was constructed via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Results: Expression of the three introduced genes in transgenic tobacco lines was confirmed by Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Analysis of liquid chromatography showed three new peaks, dammarenediol-II (DD), protopanaxadiol (PPD), and PPT, in leaves of transgenic tobacco. Transgenic tobacco (line 6) contained $2.8{\mu}g/g$ dry weight (DW), $7.3{\mu}g/g$ DW, and $11.6{\mu}g/g$ DW of PPT, PPD, and DD in leaves, respectively. Production of PPT was achieved via cell suspension culture and was highly affected by auxin treatment. The content of PPT in cell suspension was increased 37.25-fold compared with that of leaves of the transgenic tobacco. Transgenic tobacco was not able to set seeds because of microspore degeneration in anthers. Transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that cells of phloem tissue situated in the center of the anther showed an abnormally condensed nuclei and degenerated mitochondria. Conclusion: We successfully achieved the production of PPT in transgenic tobacco. The possible factors deriving male sterility in transgenic tobacco are discussed.

This is the first study reporting the evaluation of transgenic lines of tomato harboring rice chitinase (RCG3) gene for resistance to two important fungal pathogens Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) causing fusarium wilt and Alternaria solani causing early blight (EB). In this study, three transgenic lines TL1, TL2 and TL3 of tomato Solanum lycopersicum Mill. cv. Riogrande genetically engineered with rice chitinase (RCG 3) gene and their R1 progeny was tested for resistance to Fol by root dip method and A. solani by detached leaf assay. All the R0 transgenic lines were highly resistant to these fungal pathogens compared to nontransgenic control plants. The pattern of segregation of three independent transformant for Fol and A. solani was also studied. Mendelian segregation was observed in transgenic lines 2 and 3 while it was not observed in transgenic line 1. It was concluded that introduction of chitinase gene in susceptible cultivar of tomato not only enhanced the resistance but was stably inherited in transgenic lines 2 and 3.

The first Indian transgenic fish was generated in 1991 using borrowed constructs from foreign sources. To construct transformation vectors for the indigenous fishes, growth hormone genes of rohu (r-CH), Labeo rohita and catfish, Heteropneustes fossilis were isolated, cloned and sequenced; their fidelity was confirmed in prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. A vector was constructed with grass carp b-actin promoter driving the expression of r-GH. Rohu eggs are large. fragile and swell 2~3 times. when fertilized. Hence they were amenable only for electroporated sperm-mediated gene transfer. Accordingly, the sperm electroporation technique was standardized to ensure 25% hatchling survival and 37% Presumptive transgenics without suffering any deformity. Southern analysis confirmed genomic integration in 15% of the tested individuals (Ti) belonging to family lines 2 and 3: another 25% of the Juveniles (Te) were also proved transgenic but with the transgene persisting extrachromosomally for longer than 1 to 2 years. perhaps due to the presence of replicon in the vector. Transgenics belonging to different family lines grew 6~8 times faster than the respective controls. Difference in growth trends of Ti and Te within a family line was not significant. In the Ti family 3 remarkable growth acceleration was sustained for a period longer than 36 weeks but in those of family 2, it gradually decreased. All transgenic fishes including the rohu converted the food at a significantly higher efficiency. Barring the transgenic mudloach, all the other transgenic fishes consumed food at significantly reduced rate.

To demonstrate the importance of transformation efficiency in independent event, molecular and cytogenetic analysis were conducted with genomic DNA and chromosome of transgenic plants produced by Agrobacterium tumefeciens LBA4404 (pSBM-PPGN: gusA and bar). Selection ratios of putative transgenic calli were similar in independent experiments, however, transformation efficiencies were critically influenced by the type of regeneration media. MSRK5SS-Pr regeneration mediun, which contains 5 mgL$^{-1}$ kinetin, 2% (w/v) sucrose in combination with 3% (w/v) sorbitol, and 500 mgL$^{-1}$ proline, was efficient to produce transgenic plant of rice from putative transgenic callus in the presence of L-phosphinotricin (PPT). With MSRK5SS-Pr medium, transformation efficincies of Nagdongbyeo were significantly enhanced from 3.7% to 6.3% in independent callus lines arid from 7.3% to 19.7% in plants produced, respectively. Stable integration and expression of bar gene were confirmed by basta herbicide assay, PCR amplification and Southern blotting of bar gene, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis using pSBM-PPGN as a probe. In Southern blot analysis, diverse band patterns were observed in total 44 transgenic plants regenerated from 20 independent PPT resistant calli showing from one to five copies of T-DNA segments, however, the transformants obtained from one callus line showed the same copy numbers with the same fractionized band patterns.

Catfish is one of the most important freshwater fish farming commodities in Indonesia. Higher catfish production can be achieved by cultivating transgenic catfish carrying the growth hormone (GH) gene of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus GH, CgGH). This research focuses on analysis of the presence of the CgGH gene in transgenic G₁, G₂, and G₃ mutiara catfish broodstock, as an indication of stable CgGH inheritance. CgGH gene was isolated using the RNeasy mini kit and RT-PCR. RT-PCR revealed amplicons measuring approximately 600 bp in transgenic G₀, G₁, G₂, and G₃ mutiara catfish. The CgGH consensus sequence similarities ranged from 93.76% to 97.06%, with four functional domain sites (somatotropin-1, somatotropin-2, four α-helix, N-glycosylation, four cysteine residues) of fish GH proteins. The functional domains of fish GH proteins are conserved in G₁, G₂, and G₃ and indicate stable exogenous GH inheritance to produce transgenic catfish strains in each generation.

Recently, several new methods for the detection of genetic damages in vitro and in vivo based on molecular biological techniques were introduced according to the rapid progress in toxicology combined with cellular and molecular biology. Among these methods, mouse lymphoma thymidine kanase (tk) gene forward mutation assay, single cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay) and transgenic animal and cell line model as a target gene of lac I (Big Blue) and lac Z (Muta Mouse) gene mutation are newly introduced based on molecular toxicological approaches. The mouse lymphoma tk$\^$+/-/ gene assay (MOLY) using L5178Y tk$\^$+/-/ mouse lymphoma cell line is one of the mammalian forward mutation assays, and has many advantages and more sensitive than hprt assay. The target gene of MOLY is a heterozygous tk$\^$+/-/ gene located in 11 chromosome, so it is able to detect the wide range of genetic changes like point mutation, deletion, rearrangement, and mitotic recombination within tk gene or deletion of entire chromosome 11. The comet assay is a rapid, simple, visual and sensitive technique for measuring and analysing DNA breakages in mammalian cells, Also, transgenic animal and cell line models, which have exogenous DNA incorporated into their genome, carry recoverable shuttle vector containing reporter genes to assess endogenous effects or alteration in specific genes related to disease process, are powerful tools to study the mechanism of mutation in vivo and in vitro, respectively. Also in vivo acridine orange supravital staining micronucleus assay by using mouse peripheral reticulocytes was introduced as an alternative of bone marrow micronucleus assay. In this respect, there was an International workshop on genotoxicity procedure (IWGTP) supported by OECD and EMS (Environmental Mutagen Society) at Washington D. C. in March 25-26, 1999. The objective of IWGTP is to harmonize the testing procedures internationally, and to extend to finalization of OECD guideline, and to the agreement of new guidelines under the International Conference of Harmonization (ICH) for these methods mentioned above. Therefore, we introduce and review the principle, detailed procedure, and application of MOLY, comet assay, transgenic mutagenesis assay and supravital staining micronucleus assay.

과산화계 제초제 oxyfluorfen이 처리된 비형질전환 벼와 형질전환 벼에서 Protox 발현 위치가 제초제 저항성에 미치는 영향을 비교하였다. Arabidopsis protoporphyrinogen oxidase(Protox; AP 계통)를 색소체에만 발현하는 형질전환 벼와 Myxococcus xanthus Protox 유전자를 색소체와 미토콘드리아에 모두 발현하는 형질전환 벼(TTS 계통)가 형질전환 시스템으로 사용되었다. Oxyfluorfen이 처리된 TTS4 계통은 AP 계통이나 비형질전환 벼에 비해 낮은 수준의 세포질 누출 및 malonyldialdehyde를 보여주었고, 높은 5-aminolevulinic acid 합성 능력을 유지하였다. Oxyfluorfen 작용 동안, TTS4 계통은 AP1 계통보다 높은 제초제 저항성을 보여주었는데, 이는 색소체만에서의 Arabidopsis Protox의 발현에 비해 색소체와 미토콘드리아에서의 M. xanthus Protox의 쌍발현이 광역학적인 protoporphyrin IX의 축적을 더 효율적으로 억제하였기 때문일 것이다. 이 결과들은 미토콘드리아 내 Protox의 발현이 Protox 저해형 제초제에 대한 식물의 저항성에 크게 기여함을 의미한다.

Two pathogen-induced hot pepper transcription factors (CaNACl and CapIfl) were introduced into‘MicroTom’tomato by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. We used to nptII containing kanamycin resistance gene as a selection marker. Both transformed and non-transformed plants were transferred to pot after rooting test in vitro. To approximate the levels of caNACl transcript in leaves of wild-type and transgenic plants, RNA blots were hybridized with double-stranded full-length CaNACl probe at moderate stringency, Although the relative signal strength for hybridization fluctuated among the samples on different blots, transgenic plant lines N-1, N-2 and N-3 consistently displayed increased levels of CaNACl transcript relative to other transgenic lines and wild-type plants. Of all the transgenic lines examined, line N-7 had the least amount of CaNACl transcript. Role of these transcription factors in pathogen defense will be examined by overexpression in tomato.
