University of Warmia & Mazury Olsztyn Faculty of Biology Dariusz J. Michalczyk
Department of Biochemistry • The effects of chemical modifications on biologically active substances • Physico-chemical characteristics of potentially bioactive proteins, peptides and lipophyllic compounds • Studies on the mechanisms of stress and dormancy in seeds • Biochemical background of seed germination
Department of Animal Physiology • Expression of genes encoding precursors of peptide hormones and receptors • Mechanism of action of prolactin, oxytocin, opioids and xenobiotics in different animal cells
Department of Genetics • Biotechnological methods in plant improvement – DH barley lines, mutagenesis in barley and Avena strigosa; exploitation of somaclonal and gametoclonal variation of in vitro cultures • Molecular evolution of plants
Department of Plant Physiology and Biotechnology • Molecular aspects of plant development (floral induction in Pharbitis nil; genetic regulation of aquaporins; the role of RFOs and galactosyl cyclitols in seed development) • Biotechnological methods in studies of plant secondary metabolism and plant responses to stresses (regulation of PAL, effects of STS transgene expression)
Biosynthesis of resveratrol in transgenic tomato and tobacco
Resveratrol • 3,5,4’- trihydoxystilbene • phytoalexin of grapes and peanuts • health-promoting agent of wine? (antioxidant, cholesterol reducing- and anticancer agent)
Other stilbenes resveratrol glucopyranoside
Transformation method • Mc Cormick S., 1991. • cotyledonary explants from 7 – 10 d. seedlings (cv. Zorza); • 48 h. preculture; transformation with GV3101; • regeneration on MS with 2% sucrose, IAA (0,02 mg/l), zeatine (2 mg/l) + kanamycine + cefotaxime

Basic physiological parameters of transgenic and nontransformed (control) tomato plants control plants transformants
Conclusions • transfer of STS gene to plants lacking it is a simple form of metabolic engineering • strong expression of sts in tobacco plants does not necessarily lead to pollen sterility • tobacco cells can modify substantial part of resveratrol pool e.g. by glucosylation • more detailed analyses are needed and planned for
