In order to determine suitable conditions for rapid freezing of porcine embryos, the kind and concentration of cryoprotectants, sucrose concentrations, equilibration time and thawing temperature in freezing medium were examined in relation to the survival of frozen-thawed oocyte and embryos. The results obtained are as follows : 1. The suitable concentrations of cryoprotoctant in the freezing medium which consisted of TCM-199+20% FCS were 1.5M for glycerol, 2.0M for DMSO, 2.5M for ethylene glycol, and 2.0M for propanediol. The sucrose concentration of 0.25M in the medium was found to optimal because the survival rate was markedly higher at this concentration when compared to the others. The survival rate was relatively high when the frozen embryos were thawed at 30$^{\circ}C$ in the freezing medium containing 2.5M cryoprotectants. The equilibration periods of 2.0 and 5.0 minutes revealed the higher survival in the media containing 1.5 or 2.1M glycerol when compared to 10 and 15 minutes. 2. The fertilization rates of frozen-thawed follicular oocytes which matured in vitro for 1, 12, 24 and 48 hours were 6.7~26.7% depending on the maturation time, and the rates were relatively high for those matured for a short period of time. The survival rates of frozen-thawed oocytes which matured in vitro for certain periods and fertilized were 10.0~30.0% depending on the maturation time.

There have been efforts that inhibit development of dental caries by sugar substitution. But, it is controversial if xylitol has anticariogenic effect in the presence of sucrose. And there are few papers dealing with the combined action of xylitol and sucrose. For the purpose of resolving this controversy, the author investigated the effect of xylitol on enamel demineralization and on adhesiveness of S. mutans to hydroxyapatite in the presence of sucrose. Five experimental solutions were prepared as follows: (S: sucrose, X: xylitol) Group 1: BHI broth Group 2: BHI+1% S Group 3: BHI+0.75% S+0.25% X Group 4: BHI+0.5% S+0.5% X Group 5: BHI+0.25% S+0.75% X Group 6: BHI+1% X Each solution was inoculated with $100{\mu}l$ of S. mutans JC-2. And saliva coated hydroxyapatite beads were put into each experimental solution. And then each solution was incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ under anaerobic condition. After incubation, the adhesiveness of S. mutans on hydroxyapatite was evaluated. The Vickers hardness numbers were measured on extracted human primary teeth, and these teeth were dipped into the same experimental solution and incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ under anaerobic condition for 48hours. Surface microhardness were measured again after incubation. The obtained results were as follows; 1. In the presence of sucrose, xylitol can reduce the adhesiveness of S. mutans on hydroxyapatite surface from the ratio of 25% sucrose to 75% xylitol(P<0.05). 2. In the presence of sucrose, xylitol can reduced demineralization of primary teeth enamel surface from the ratio of 50% sucrose to 50% xylitol(P<0.01).

This study describes an efficient and stable droplet vitrification following cryopreservation of strawberry shoot tip (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) accessions 'Massey' and 'MDUS3816'. The shoot tips were precultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium supplemented with sucrose (0.3-0.7M). Precultured explants were osmoprotected with loading solution (LS, C4) containing 17.5% glycerol and 17.5% sucrose for 40 min and exposed to dehydration solution (B1) containing 50% glycerol and 50% sucrose for 40 min at 25oC. Subsequently, the explants were transferred onto droplets containing 2.5 µL PVS3 on sterilized aluminum foils (4 cm× 0.5 cm) prior to direct immersion in liquid nitrogen (LN) for 1 h. The highest regrowth rate (%) in both the cultivars was obtained when the shoot tips were precultured with 0.3M sucrose for 30 h + 0.5M sucrose for 16 h at 25oC. The cryopreserved shoots tips exhibited 57.8 % recovery rate by culturing in NH₄NO₃-free MS medium supplemented with 3% sucrose, 1.0 g/L casein, 1.0mg/L GA₃, and 0.5 mg/L BA for 5 weeks and in MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L GA₃ for 8 weeks. Variation was not observed in both of ploidy analysis and morphological investigation on plantlets of two accessions cryopreserved under variable preculture conditions.

In succession to the previous paper, the effect of the addition of food additives, such as glucose, glycine, sucrose and sorbic acid on the histamine formation and histidine decarboxylase activity in mackerel muscle during storage at $25^{\circ}C$ was studied. Additionally, the effect of different rasping condition of mackerel muscle on the histamine formation was also studied. It was estimated that the rasping condition of mackerel muscle also affected to the histamine formation, by showing that much histamine was detected in homogenized muscle than in ground muscle when glucose and sucrose were added. The addition of glycine was inhibitory upon the histamine formation and histidine decarboxylase activity, which, in the muscle added $10\%$ of glycine, the histamine content was below the critical concentration of poisoning for histamine during storage for 5 days at $25^{\circ}C$. The addition of sorbic acid was also inhibited the histamine formation and histidine decarboxylase activity, and the inhibitory effect of $0.2\%$ addition was greater than $0.1\%$ addition.

The effects of sucrose concentration and some absorbents on growth and tropane alkaloid production in hairy root cultures of Scopolia parviflora were investigated. The maximum effect on growth and tropane alkaloid production in hairy root clone SP11 was obtained for 1/2 B5 medium containing 5% sucrose. The production pattern of tropane alkaloid in hairy roots was some different from that of rhizome of mother plant, particulary showing high littorine contents, which was not found in ordinary roots. Among absorbents examined, charcoal 0.01% and XAD-II 1% made a slight growth promotion effect, whereas the other concentration of charcoal, XAD-II and absorbents (amberlite and chitosan) showed inhibition or no significant effect. The addition of hydroxyapatite enhanced the production of tropane alkaloids significantly than control cultures.

A method for cryopreservation of suspension cultured embryogenic cells derived from immature zygotic embryos of rice (Korean cultivars, Donggin-byeo and Taebaeg-byeo) was developed. The highest cell regrowth after storage in liquid nitrogen was obtained when Donggin-byeo cells were cryoprotected with a mixture of 2 M DMSO and 0.4 M sucrose and Taebaeg-byeo cells with a mixture of 0.64 M DMSO and 0.4 M sucrose at frequencies of 88% and 90%, respectively, Pretreatment in a high osmotic medium was not necessary. Upon transfer to $N_{6}$ medium suplemented with lmg/L NAA and 5 mg/L kinetin, the regenerated calli gave rise to numerous somatic embryos which subsequently underwent development into plantlets. Among approximately 100 plantlets, 25% of them were albinos.s.

The $F_1$ hybrid Red Coat is one of the most highly sought after cultivars of tomato in Australia and yields up to 7.5 $\cal{kg/plant}$. An experiment was conducted to de-termine the optimal strength and type of growth medium and sucrose concentration for shoot organogenesis of the Red Coat cultivar using cotyledonary explants. Two basal growth media, viz. MS and Gamborg' s $B_5$ at 0, 1/4, 1/2, full or double strength along with sucrose concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1.5, 3 or $5\%$, were evaluated using 25 replications. The main effects of treatment and their mutual interactions were evaluated for the proportion of explants that produced callus and/or shoots, number of shoots produced per explant, callus diameter and shoot height. The explants failed to produce shoots in the absence of mineral nutrient. Only a small proportion of the explants ($6\%$ with $B_5\;and\;3\%$ with MS) regenerated shoots in the absence of sucrose. Lower sucrose concentrations ($0.5-1.5\%$) along with full strength media were optimal for most of the traits studied. The $B_5$ medium outperformed MS medium for shoot organogenesis. For all the traits examined, significant differences in main effects (P < 0.05) and two-way interactions were detected, but no three-way interactions (medium type $\times$ medium concentration $\times$ sucrose concentration) were observed. Sucrose was found essential for the development of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll content increased with an increase in sucrose concentration up to $3\%$ and decreased at $5\%$ sucrose.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of concentration and kinds of cryoprotectants, equilibraction time, thawing temperature and time, sucrose concentration on the survival rates of frozen bovine demi-embryos. The bovine demi-embryos following dehydration by cryoprotectants a various concentration of sucrose were freezed by cell freezer and thawed in 3$0^{\circ}C$ water bath. Survival and in vitro developmental rates was defined as development rates on in vitro culture or FDA-test. The results are summarized as follows : 1. The high survival rates of demi-embryos after frozen-thawing in freezing medium was attained 2.0M glycerol. The high survival rates of demi-embryos after frozen-thawing in freezing medium was obtained using single cryoprotectant(25.0~30.0%) than mixed cryoprotectants(16.7~19.0%). 2. The survival rates of demi-embryos after frozen-thawing in freezing medium added 1.5M, 2.0M glycerol＋0.25M sucrose(37.5~33.3%) were higher survival rates than those of sucrose concentration of 0.50, 0.75M(12.5~26.7%). 3. The equilibration time on the survival rates of demi-embryos was attained after short period of time(30.0~35.0%) in the freezing medium higher than long period of time(21.1%). 4. The thawing temperature on the survival rates of demi-embryos was attained at 3$0^{\circ}C$ of thawing temperature(26.7~40.0%) higher than $25^{\circ}C$ or 37$^{\circ}C$ of thawing temperature(13.3~20.0%). 5. The thawing time on the survival rates of demi-embryos was attained at 1~5 minutes of thawing time(26.7~33.3%) in the freezing medium higher than 10 minutes of thawing time(13.3~18.8%).

The effects of basal media, sucrose and phytohormone concentrations, and gelling agent combinations on in vitro frond proliferation of Lemna gibba G3 and 24 additional Lemna gibba strains were examined. Frond proliferation was equivalent on Schenk and Hidebrand. Murashige and Skoog. Nitsch and Nitsch, and Gamborg's B5 media and poor on murashige and Skoog medium in the absence of benzyladenine. With the addition of benzyladenine, Schenk and Hildebrand and Gamborg's B5 Were superior and equivalent. The addition of benzuyladenine increased equally frond proliferation at either 1 or $10{\mu}M$, however at $10{\mu}M$ fronds were severely curled or fused. Benzyladenine and thidiazuron suppressed root growth but kinetin was found to greatly enhance root growth. Gibberellic acid inhibited frond proliferation. Frond proliferation was significantly different on the four sucrose concentrations of 0, 1, 3, and 5% Among them, 3% sucrose was found to be superior. The reduced frond size observed in cultures grown on 8% sucrose could be explained by showing medium osmotic potential in excess of frond water potential. Gell agents also varied significantly in their ability to promote frond proliferation with 0.25% Gelrite or a mixture of 0.15% Gelrite and 0.4% agar. Proliferation of 25 Lemna gibba strains on medium neat optimal for Lemna gibba G3 showed a six-fold variation across strains with Lemna gobba G3 placing in the top 5 fastest proliferating strains.
