Abstract

Drought stress is a crucial environmental factor determining crop survival and productivity. The goal of this study was to clearly identify a new drought stress-tolerance gene in Brassica rapa. From KBGP-24K microarray data with the B. rapa ssp. pekinensis inbred line 'Chiifu' under drought stress treatment, a gene which was named BrDSR (B. rapa Drought Stress Resistance) was chosen among 738 drought-responsive unigenes. BrDSR function has yet to be determined, but its expression was induced over 6-fold by drought. To characterize BrDSR, the gene was isolated from B. rapa inbred line 'CT001' and found to contain a 438-bp open reading frame encoding a 145 amino acid protein. The full-length cDNA of BrDSR was used to construct an over-expression vector, 'pSL100'. Tobacco transformation was then conducted to analyze whether the BrDSR gene can increase drought tolerance in plants. The BrDSR expression level in T1 transgenic tobacco plants selected via PCR and DNA blot analyses was up to 2.6-fold higher than non-transgenic tobacco. Analysis of phenotype clearly showed that BrDSR-expressing tobacco plants exhibited more tolerance than wild type under 10 d drought stress. Taking all of these findings together, we expect that BrDSR functions effectively in plant growth and survival of drought stress conditions.

건조 스트레스는 작물의 생존과 생산성을 결정하는데 매우 중요한 환경요인이다. 본 연구의 목적은 배추에서 신규 건조 스트레스 저항성 유전자를 동정 검정하는 것이다. 건조 스트레스 하에서 생육된 지부('Chiifu') 배추를 이용하여 제작된 KBGP-24K 마이크로어레이 데이터 분석을 통해 738개의 건조 반응 유전자 중 기능은 밝혀져 있지 않지만, 건조 스트레스 하에서 발현량이 6배 이상 크게 증가한 1개의 유전자를 선발하여 BrDSR(B. rapa Drought Stress Resistance)이라 명명하였다. 이의 검정을 위해 내혼계배추('CT001')에서 BrDSR을 동정한 결과 438bp의 오픈리딩프레임과 145개의 아미노산을 가지고 있음을 확인하였고, 동정된 완전장의 cDNA 염기서열은 형질전환용 과발현 vector인 'pSL100' 제작에 이용하였다. BrDSR이 식물체에서 건조 스트레스 저항성을 향상시켜줄 수 있는지 분석하기 위해 담배 형질전환을 수행하였다. PCR과 DNA 블롯 분석으로 선발된 T1 세대 담배 형질전환체들을 대상으로 quantitative real-time RT PCR 분석을 수행한 결과, 형질전환체의 BrDSR 발현량은 비형질 전환체 보다 2.6배까지 증가하였다. 또한 건조처리 10일째 수행한 표현형 분석에서 BrDSR이 발현되는 담배 형질전환체들이 비형질전환체들 보다 우수한 건조 저항성을 보였다. 연구 결과들을 종합하면 BrDSR은 건조 스트레스 하에서 식물의 생장과 생존에 효과적인 저항성 기능을 할 것으로 기대된다.
