Laboratory and greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate effects of spray volumes and surfactants, L-77 and Triton CS-7 on leaf retention of glyphosate in Zea mays, Hordeum vulgare, Artemisia princeps, Trifolium repens and Equisetum arvense. Leaf retention was increased when glyphosate with L-77 or Triton CS-7 was applied in a spray volumes of 10-20 l/10a in Zea mays and 40 l/10a in Artemisia princeps but decreased when spray volumes were higher than above volumes and 40-80 l/10a in Trifolium repens. Hordeum vulgare leaves retained more spray when glyphosate with L-77 or Triton CS-7 was applied in all spray volumes tested. Equisetum arvense retained higher amount of spray by application of glyphosate with L-77 compared with Triton CS-7 and no surfactant treatments.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of fruit quality, ethylene evoluoon and storage in apple 'Tsugaru' as influenced by aminoethoxyvinylglycine(AVG) and several surfactants. When treated with AVG+Silwet L-77, there were few significant differences in soluble solid and acidity as compared with control, but dichlorprop treatment significantly increased in soluble solid and decreased in acidity. Color development was decreased when treated with AVG+Silwet L-77. AVG+Silwet L-77 treatment decreased in ethylene evolution, and increased in storage. It can be concluded that fruit can be left in trees longer and still maintain storage, and more fruit is able to go to fresh market into long-term storage, which increase the market-ability of apple.

Nur77 is a member of the nuclear receptor 4A (NR4A) subgroup, which has been implicated in energy metabolism. Although Nur77 is found in adipose tissue, where TR4 plays a key role in lipid homeostasis, the role of Nur77 in adipogenesis is still controversial. Although the Nur77 responsive element (AAAGGTCA) is partially overlapped with TR4-binding sites (AGGTCA $n$ AGGTCA: $n$=0-6), the regulatory role of Nur77 in TR4 function associated with adipocyte biology remains unclear. Here, we found that Nur77 inhibits adipogenesis and TR4 transcriptional activity. Treatment with a Nur77 agonist, 1,1-bis(3'-indolyl)-1-($p$-anisyl)-methane, during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation reduced adipogenesis. In reporter gene analysis, Nur77 specifically suppressed TR4 transcription activity but had little effect on $PPAR{\gamma}$ transcription activity. Consistently, Nur77 also suppressed TR4-induced promoter activity of the TR4 target gene PEPCK, which is known to be important for glyceroneogenesis in adipose tissue. Furthermore, Nur77 suppressed TR4 binding to TR4 response elements without direct interaction with TR4, suggesting that Nur77 may inhibit TR4 transcription activity via binding competition for TR4-binding sites. Furthermore, DIM-C-$pPhOCH_3$ substantially suppressed TR4-induced PEPCK expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Together, our data demonstrate that Nur77 plays an inhibitory role in TR4-induced PEPCK expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate preharvest drop control in 'Tsugaru' apple with combined treatments of aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and several adhesive agents. AVG+Silwet L-77 at $75+1,000mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ was most effective among the tested combinations. Little or no significant difference was observed among the different application times of AVG+Silwet L-77. AVG+Silwet L-77 significantly reduced preharvest drop while increasing fruit weight, fruit length, diameter and fruit firmness. All the tested combinations were generally effective in reducing preharvest drop as compared to dichlorprop and in maintaining better fruit quality.

For polyhydroxyalkanoic acid (PHA) production, several microorganisms were isolated from sewage sludge. One of them, GB-77 strain, was chosen from its PHB/HV copolymer production on only fructose without cosubstrate. The isolated strain GB-77 was identified as the genus Alcaligenes. Optimal temperature and pH for cell growth were 36C and 6.8. Optimal medium composition was 10 g/l of fructose and 5 g/l of polypeptone, 1 $\times$ 10$^{-2}$M Na$^{2}$HP0$^{4}$, 1.3 $\times$ 10$^{-2}$M KH$^{2}$PO$^{4}$. To investigate the optimal condition for polyhydroxyalkanoic acid production two-stage culture technique was used; first stage for cell growth and second stage for PHA production on unbalanced growth conditions. Optimal conditions for high PHA production were C/N ratio 50, temperature 36$\circ$C and pH 6.8. To overcome fructose inhibition on cell growth, intermittent feeding fed-batch culture technique was used. Total cell concentration was 17.4 g/l with 9.1 g/l of PHA. The purified PHA was identified PHB/HV copolymer by NMR analysis.

Field and greenhouse trials were conducted to evaluate application variables including spray volume, surfactant, and simulated rain affecting phytotoxicity of glyphosate for enhancing efficacy of postemergence herbicides. Glyphosate phytotoxicity was increased by addition of surfactants, L-77 and Triton CS-7 to glyphosate solution in Artmesia princeps and Equisetum arvense and addition of Triton CS-7 to glyphosate solution enhanced control of Trifoliurn repens. Simulated rain within 4 or 8 hours after glyphosate application reduced glyphosate phytotoxicity. However, addition of L-77 and Triton CS-7 to glyphosate solution increased glyphosate phytotoxicity reduced by simulated rain in Artmesia princeps and Trifolium repens.

3,3',4,4'-Tetrachlorobiphenyl (IUPAC PCB77) is one of seven indicative polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the surface sediments. The current study presents a novel polyclonal antibody for the determination of the PCB77 using indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Under optimum conditions, PCB77 was determined within the concentration range of 0.01-100 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, with a detection limit of 0.057 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$. The assays were tested for their cross-reactivity profiles using 3 selected congeners and 4 Aroclor products. The assays were highly specific for coplanar PCB congeners, but less specific for Aroclor1248. The spiked recoveries from five sediment samples were 86%-114% for PCB77 from ELISA, which were satisfactory. The current study demonstrated that the developed antiserum and immunoassay procedure can be used to detect PCB77 in environmental samples. The results of the sediment analysis were confirmed by conventional GC/ECD.
