To investigate the physiological and biochemical differences between susceptible and tolerant species of Echinochloa species to the foliar applied cyhalofop-butyl and pyribenzoxim herbicides, herbicidal response, the rate of absorption, translocation and metabolism were studied. Among 148 individuals of Echinochloa species collected from 41 sampling sites in Korea which were classified into 7 geographical regions, based on morphological characteristics of plant and seed type, 46 lines were used for further studies. From them, E. crus-galli var. praticola collected from Hwanggan and E. crus-galli var. crus-galli collected from Namyangju were selected as the most susceptible species to cyhalofop-butyl and pyribenzoxim, respectively. Meanwhile, E. oryzicola(from Cheju) and E. crus-galli var. crus-galli(from Asan) were selected as tolerant species to cyhalofop-butyl and pyribenzoxim, respectively. Application of radio-labelled herbicides on the 1st leaf to both susceptible and tolerant Echinochloa species exhibited that the applied $^{14}C$-Cyhalofop-butyl and $^{14}C$-pyribenzoxim were more easily absorbed and translocated into stem tissues than root. Absorption of $^{14}C$-Cyhalofop-butyl increased rapidly at 1 h after application and reached the maximum at 12 h after application. However, the absorption rate of $^{14}C$-pyribenzoxim was not changed. Two metabolites from cyhalofop-butyl-treated plants and one metabolite from pyribenzoxim-treated plants were separated by TLC. The amount of metabolite 1 in cyhalofop-butyl-treated tolerant species was significantly higher than that in the susceptible one, suggesting differences in detoxification ability between susceptible and tolerant species.

The UV light in sunlight breaks down the chemical bonds in a polyolefin polymer through a process called photodegradation, ultimately causing cracking, chalking, colour changes, and loss of physical properties such as impact strength, tensile strength, elongation, and others. UV absorbers are used to prevent or terminate the oxidation of plastics by UV light. They are receptive to UV radiation and dissipate the energy harmlessly as heat. Benzotriazoles and benzophenones are used mainly in polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene. In this study, we have developed a method for the analysis of 12 UV absorbers, which are Uvinul 3000, Cyasorb UV 24, Uvinul 3040, Tinuvin 312 and P, Seesorb 202, Chimassorb 81, Tinuvin 329, 234, 326, 328 and 327, migrated from the food packaging materials into four food simulants for aqueous, acidic, alcoholic and fatty foods. The UV absorbers in food simulants were determined by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatograph-ultraviolet detector with 310 nm after solid-phase extraction with a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) cartridge or dilution with isopropanol. The analytical method showed a good linearity of coefficient ($R^2{\geq}0.99$), limits of detection (0.049~0.370 mg/L), and limits of quantification (0.149~1.120 mg/L). The recoveries of UV absorbers spiked to four food simulants ranged from 70.05% to 110.13%. The developed method would be used as a reliable tool to determine concentrations of the migrated UV absorbers.

This experiment was conducted to determine the selective mechanism of cyhalofop-butyl ester on uptake, traslocation, and metabolism of the herbicide in both rice and Echinochloa crus-galli. Uptake and translocation of $^{14}C$-cyhalofop-butyl ester was higher in E. crus-galli than rice when treated to shoot. $^{14}C$-uptake by root of E. crus-galli increased rapidly at 30 minute after treatment and reached the maximum at 12 hoots after treatment. After that, uptake was leveled off. Uptake pattern in rice root was not significantly affected by the duration of herbicide treatment. In E. crus-galli, the absorbed $^{14}C$-cyhalofop-butyl ester seemed to be rapidly metabolized into free acid and the content of changed free acid was higher than rice.

선천 면역(Maternal immunity)은 모체에서 유래된 lgG class의 항체(모체이행항체)에 의한 면역이다. 이와 같은 면역은 주로 체액성 면역(혈중항체)과 관계 있으며, 국소면역 또는 세포면역은 관여하지 않는다. 일반적으로 1일령 병아리의 항체가는 모계군의 혈청역가 보다 약간 낮게 나타난다. 부화 후 처음 4일간은 난황으로부터 흡수를 함으로써 혈중 항체가가 떨어지지 않고 비슷하게 유지되다가 그 이후 항체가는 차츰 감소하게 된다. 항체가가 감소하는 수준은 닭의 종류에 따라 다른데, 이것은 생리대사와 성장에 좌우되기 때문이다 일반적으로 항체가가 반으로 감소하기까지의 기간(반감기)은 육계의 경우 3일에서 3.5일, 종계의 경우 4.5일, 산란계의 경우 5.5일로 나타난다. 1일령 때의 항체 역가 수준, 닭의 종류, 항체가를 측정하는 혈청검사의 방법 등에 따라 모체이행 감소 수준이 다르긴 하지만 보통 수주 이내에 완전히 소실되게 된다.

The germination and the nutrient culture tests in the growth chamber and pot experiment under two types of soil conditions were conducted to determine the selectivity of oxyfluorfen and chlormethoxynil in crops and weeds and for characterization of selective mode of action, the absorption study was also conducted with different absorption methods and application time using $^{14}C$-oxyfluorfen. Oxyfluorfen showed more growth inhibitory effects than chlormethoxynil. In the nutrient culture test, rice growth was greatly inhibited at 2-leaf stage than at 4-leaf stage, and the shoot parts were more inhibited than the root parts. By preemergence application of both herbicides, higher growth inhibition was observed in sandy loam soil than in clay loam soil. Absorption and translocation of $^{14}C$-oxyfluorfen were higher by foliar application than by root treatment, and selectivity of crops and weed species may be explained partly by the amount of absorption.

The present study was carried out to determine the effect of a radionuclide, cesium-137, in soybean, which is an element released usually from nuclear facilities. Soybean plants were grown on the pots treated with cesium-137 $0.5{\sim}60{\mu}Ci/1kg$ soil and the uptake, translocation and accumulation of the radiocesium in the plant parts were measured at different growth stage. The results are summarized as follows: 1) Visual toxic symptoms on the plants due to treatment of radioactive cesium were not observed up to $60{\mu}Ci/10Kg$ soil in a pot. 2) The uptake of cesium-137 in soybean plant was increased with increment of concentration applied, while the uptake of potassium was proportionally decreased, indicating to have an ion antagonistic relationship between them. 3) The absolute amounts of cesium-137 in the plants were gradually increased by the pod setting stage, but rather reduced at harvesting stage. The accumulation occurred more in the leaves and stems than the soybean seeds. 4) The rate of uptake was ranged from 0.069 to 0.005 with proportional decrease by increasing concentration applied and the rate of Cs-137 translocation from plants to seeds was averaged 38.6% in soybean plant. The concentration coefficient was 0.04 in the soybean seeds from the pots treated with $20{\mu}Ci$ of cesium-137 and decreased with increment of cesium-137 applied.

Antagonistic mode of action of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl [ethyl(R)2-4-{(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyloxy) phenoxy}propionate] with bentazon was investigated with respect to absorption, translocation, metabolism, and change in target site response of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl using four-leaf stage of rice(Oryza sativa L.) and barnyardgrass [Echinochloa eras-galli (L.) P. Beauv.]. Shoots of rice and barnyardgrass was more sensitive to fenoxaprop-P-ethyl than the roots. More than 90% of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl was absorbed within 6 hours after treatment and 30% of the absorbed was acropetally and basipetally translocated at 24 hours after treatment. Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl was rapidly transformed to its acid form, fenoxaprop(2-[4-(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyloxy)phenoxy]propionic acid), which was subsequently metabolized to polar conjugates. However, changes in absorption, translocation, and metabolism of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl by bentazon treatment were not found in both species. Background activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase(ACCase) in rice and barnyardgrass was 26.5 and 23.2nmol/min/mg, respectively. Concentration required to inhibit fifty percent enzyme activity$(I_{50})$ in vitro was 6.5~7.4${\mu}M$ of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl and more than 500${\mu}M$ of bentazon. There were no significant differences in $I_{50}$ value between two treatments of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl alone and its bentazon mixture. However, bentazon reduced ACCase activity in vivo and inhibited electron transport in chloroplast thylakoid. Based on the results obtained, it is concluded that the antagonistic effect of bentazon occurs due not to direct effect on target site of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl, but to indirect involvement in reducing herbicidal activity of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl through physiological disturbances caused by bentazone at whole chloroplast level.

${\gamma}$-(U-$^{14}$ C)-BHC was applied to rice plants grown in a pot and its fate in the growth, polishing and oil-extraction processes of the grain was investigated. The $^{14}$ C-activity was absorbed and translocated widely in the plant and the recovery of applied $^{14}$ C-activity in the straw and grain was about 2.8%, of which 9.4% was found in the brown rice. The % partitioning of $^{14}$ C-residues in bran and polished rice was 12:88 and that in oil and oilcake was 37 : 63. Characterization of $^{14}$ C-residues indicated the presence of ${\gamma}$-BHC, pentachlorocyclohexene, trichlorobenzene and hydrophilic metabolites, whose proportions were different in the straw and grain.

In order to investigate the behavior of the herbicide metolachlor [2-chloro-6'-ethyl-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)aceto-O-toluidide] in fish, carps (Cyprinus carpio L.) were exposed to the herbicide at $LC_{10}$(1.93 mg/L) for 4 days. Metolachlor dissolved in water was absorbed rapidly into carps to mark the maximum concentration 6 hours after exposure. The amounts of the $^{14}C$-metolachlor and its metabolites absorbed in gall were much higher than those in the other parts, strongly suggesting that biliary excretion involving enterohepatic recirculation could be an important route for the elimination of metolachlor. The $^{14}C$-radioactivity distributed into aqueous phase fraction in test water and in carp extract was increased in time-dependent manner. Extraction rate of $^{14}C$ absorbed in carp tissues was decreased remarkably up to 6 hours after exposure, suggesting that the possible polar metabolites of metolachlor were transformed into the conjugates to form non-extractable bound residues.
