The esterase isozyme of several legume plants were separated and visualized by horizontal starch gel electrophoresis using enzyme-specific staining. Extracts used were prepared from fully expanded young leaf and stem of six legume species which were red clover(Trifolium Pretense L.), ladino clover(Trifolium repense L.), wild white clover(Trifolium repense L.), alfalfa(Medicage sativa L.), mimosoides(Cassia mimosoides var nomame Makino), and amoena(Vicia amoena Fisch). The number of band, Phenotype and staining intensity of esterase isozyme in leaf and stem varies depending on the plant species. However, there are little difference between leaf and stem esterase isozyme in same species except alfalfa. And in the leaf and stem of mimosoides and amoena showed not any esterase(Fig. 2). Among the examined plants, the highest staining intensity and the rapidest migrating esterase isozyme was Est 1.

Isozyme and AFLP analyses were examined to estimate the utilities of them as a genetic marker. The utilities were evaluated by genetic divergence and relationships among the four distinct abalone species; Haliotis discus hannai collected from northeast coast of Japan and Yellow-Sea coast of China, H. rufescens collected from west coast of USA, H rubra collected from southeast coast of Australia and H midae collected from Cape Town of South Africa. Isozyme and AFLP analyses showed a clear genetic divergence between every pair of species. Genetic relationships among the low species estimated by isozyme and AFLP analyses reflected to geographical distribution and morphological characteristics. In conclusion, Isozyme and AFLP analyses are suitable genetic markers far estimates of genetic divergence and relationship among abalone species.

From the experimental results of cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis we concluded the followings in explaining the LDH isozyme patterns found in the retina and cerebrum of vertebrata. Lactate dehydrogenase of the retina and cerebrum of both Carassinus carassinus and Cyprinus carpio was found to have one diffused band located between $LDH_2$ and $LDH_1$. LDH isozyme patterns of heart, pectoral muscle, liver and stomach of the Cyprinus carpio had the same diffused band in all organs. LDH isozyme patterns of the cerebrum of Hynobius leechii and Rana nigromaculata were observed to be different, in Hynobius leeichi a single band moved to the negative pole and two bands of $LDH_5$ and $LDH_4$ were obtained in the Rana nigromaculata. The retina and cerebrum of Natrix tigrina lateralis were observed as one band but amyda maakii had different LDH isozymes of the retina and cerebrum. The retina of Amyda maakii had five distinct LDH isozyme bands which had decreasing activity in the order of $LDH_5, LDH_4, LDH_3, LDH_2 and LDH_1$. The cerebrum of Amyda maakii had one band like Natrix tigrina lateralis but it moved to the negative pole. LDH isozymes in the retina and cerebrum of Gallus gallus domesticus and Melopsittacus undulatus showed one band. Five characteristic LDH isozyme bands were obtained from the retina of mammals, Oryctolagus cuniclus, Canis familiaris, Sus scrofa bos taurus and in the cerebrum of mouse, albino rat, Rhinolophus ferrum-equinum kokai.

The lactate dehydrogenase isozymes in tissues of eight fresh water fishes were examined by cellulose acetate electrophoresis. The electrophoretic distribution of the isozymes showed clearly species-specific pattern. Various subbands were found more frequently in these fishes than in mammals. The isozyme pattern of muscle seems to tend to be the same with that of brain in these fishes. The fish lactic dehydrogenase suggested in many cases to be consisted of nonrandomly selected hybrids.

In order to pursue some physiological studies on organogenesis in ginseng tissue culture, ginseng root explants were cultured on a modified MS medium containing NAA and kinetin. The activities of peroxidase and some enzymes were investigated and their isoenzyme patterns were also observed. The activity of peroxidase decreased by 20% in one week's culture and increased thereafter by 80% in culturing for 7 weeks compared with the control group. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity increased by 400% after culturing for 5 weeks and increased during the days preceeding root formation. The activities of glutamate dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase also increased during the culture. After 3 weeks' culture, new peroxidase isozyme (pH 7.6) appeared and 7 weeks' culture, another new peroxidase isozyme (pH unidentified) appeared. These patterns were also identified by using FPLC. After 7 weeks' culture, a new esterase isozyme of pH 8.5 appeared and isozyme patterns of acid phosphatase were quite changed compared with the isozyme patterns of tissue cultured for 5 weeks. In so far as these new isoenzymes appear distinctively after 7 weeks' culture, root differentiation is supposed to be induced after 7 weeks' culture.

Sixty-three isolates of Lentinus edodes obtained from Korea were used to assess the genetic similarity by isozyme polymorphisms and random amplified polymorphic DNA patterns. The activities of esterase, peroxidase and acid phosphatase displayed 10, 7 and 3 distinct isozyme patterns, respectively. By combining the isozyme patterns obtained with the 3 enzymes, every isolate showed its own distinct electrophoretic phenotypes. A distance matrix calculated between all pairs of 63 electrophoretic phenotypes based on the presence or abscence of isozyme bands were analyzed by the group-average method. Results of the cluster analysis assinged the 63 phenotypes into six major groups. In the analysis of random amplified polymorphic DNA patterns, all isolates of Lentinus edodes were devided into five RAPD groups.

The esterase isozyme in tissue of wild legume plants were separated by horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. Extracts used in this study were prepared from fully expanded young leaf, cotyledon and radicle of seedling and root-nodule of Glycine sola, Vigna vexillata var. tsuscmensis and Trifoliwn repens. The results are as follows; 1. Each tissue examined had a characteristic banding pattcrn. Number of bands in each species, G. soja, V. vexillata, and T . repens, were 14, 8 and 1 1 bands, respectively. And difference in esterase isozyme bands were greater from tissue to tissue than difference between habitat. 2. Est-I, Est-2. Est-3 and Est-4 in G. soja, Est-I in V. vexillata and Est-l and Est-2 in T. repens showed strong cnzyme activity than other enzyme. 3. Esterase isozyme variation in G. soja and T . repens showed more variety than V. vexillata. This is resulted from many genotypic differences within species. 4. The main enLyme among thc esterase isozyme were Est-I. Est-2, Est-3 and Est-4.

This study was planned to identify the effect of low-temperature stress on Alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH) isozyme in sixteen varieties of Italian ryegrass using starch gel electrophoresis. The specific electrophoretic zymograms of each variety were observed by ADH isozyme. The results were summarized as follows: 1. All tested varieties displayed two band zone by ADH and R.f values were 0.63 and 0.60, respectively. 2. There were four band type for ADH isozyme of 16 varieties classified with ADH isozyme dyeing intensity. According to dyeing intensity 7, 2, 1 and 6 varieties belong to banding type I,II,III and IV, respectively(Fig.2-A, B). 3. The effect of short tern low-temperature stress induces ADH gene expresson in Italian ryegrass, which may reflect a fundmental shift in energy metabolism to ensure plant tissue survival during the low-temperature stress period.

Glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.3) of Aspergillus sp. isolated from soil was partially purified by Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration and DEAE-Sephacel ion exchange chromatography, The glucoamylase activity was separated into two isozymes after DEAE-Sephacel ion exchange chromatrography. The optimum pH and temperature for both glucoamylase isozymes (GI, GII) were identical; pH 4.5 and temperature, $65^{\circ}C$. The molecular weights of GI and GII Isozymes were estimated to be 105,000, which were measured by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200. Both isozymes were stable at pH ranges of 2 to 7, and up to 6$0^{\circ}C$. Glycerol was effective to stabilize the both isozymes. The activation energies of GI and GII isozymes were 10.63 and 10.33 kcal/mole, respectively. The enzyme activities of both isozymes were completely inactivated by addition of 0.1% Hg$^{++}$. In kinetic studies, the Km values of GI isozyme for soluble starch, dextrin, and glycogen were 0.62%, 0.32%, and 1.02%, respectively. For GII isozyme, they became 0.66%, 0.23%. and 0.14% for the substrates.

A comparative electrophoretic study on protein and several important enzymes of calli induced from stem, intercostal area and minor vein area were conducted in Pinella ternata (Thunb.) Breit. Soluble protein band patterns of calli induced from stem, intercostal area and minor vein area were distinctly different from those of the corresponding plant parts. Esterase isozyme patterns of calli induced from stem, intercostal area and minor vein area were different from those of the corresponding plant parts. Glutamate oxalo-acetate transaminase isozyme patterns of calli grown for 4 weeks induced from 3 plant parts were similar to those of the corresponding plant parts. But a high molecular weight isozyme band appeared in the calli grown for 8 weeks. Alow molecular weight isozyme band disappeared on the peroxidase isozyme patterns of calli grown for 4 weeks appeared on those of the corresponding plant parts.
