This study describes the effect of the growth regulators such as 2,L-D and BA, on the structural abnormalities of somatic embryos derived from leaf explants of Angelica gigas Nakai, Also, the relationship between the cotyledon number of a somatic embryo and its germinability is explored. Embryogenic calli were selected from calli formed on explants cultured on MS solid basal medium supplemented with 0.5mg/L 2,4-D, 1mg/L 2,4-D, 1mg/L plus 0.1mg/L BA, and 1 mg/L 2,4-D plus 0.5mg/L BA. Cotyledonary abnormalities were observed in somatic embryos which were developed from embryogenic calli cultured on MS medium containing 1mg/L 2,4-D for 8 weeks and then subcultured on 2,4-D free MS medium for 3 weeks. The frequency of abnormalities was as follows: 22.8% one cotyledon, 42.5% two cotyledons, 16.8% three cotyledons, 7.8% four cotyledons, 1.8% five cotyledons, and 8.2% jar shaped cotyledon. In addition, ABA treatment indicated an improvement of the somatic embryo with normal cotyledon (65.3%). ABA was important role to the high production of normal somatic embryos. Two cotyledon embryos showed germinability 77.8%. However the germinability of somatic embryos with anomalous cotyledons was prominently low: One cotyledon, 62.5%; three cotyledons, 43.3%; four cotyledons, 60%; five cotyledons, 50% and jar shaped cotyledon, zero%. Thus, germinability was essentially, inversely proportional to cotyledon number.

Transformation system of rolC gene, dwarf gene in Lycium chinenese Mill. established by using system. Pin-punctured leaves induced numerous adventious buds in abaxial side when cultured on 3/2 MS medium containing 2.0 mg/L zeatin. Survival rate and shoot regeneration frequency of leaf explants decreased as kanamycin sulfate level increased. Shoot buds were not regenerated on 3/2 MS medium containing 10 mg/L kanamycin sulfate and 2.0 mg/L zeaein. Of the level tested, 10 mg/L of kanamycin sulfate was optimum in selection of kanamycin sulfate resistant plant. Co-culture time of bacteria and leaf explants was affected at the frequency of shoot regeneration and survival of leaf explants. Leaf explants co-cultivated during above 48hr severely decreased survival rate and shooting rate. Best result on survival rate and shooting rate were obtained when exposed for 24 h. 80 explants of 105 leaf explants survived on 3/2 MS medium containing 2.0 mg/L zeatin and 10 mg/L kanamycin sulfate, and 15 shoots was regenerated on the same medium. To select kanamycin sulfate resistant plant, regenerate as cultured on 3/2 MS medium containing 10 mg/L kanamycin sulfate, and obtained 5 kanamycin resistant plants. Southern blot analysis conformed that the rolC gene was incorporated into the genomic DNA of kanamycin resistant plants.

The albino plants of tobacco (Nicotiana tobacum L. cv. BY-4) were isolated from seed populations that were induced by heavy-ion ($^{14}N$) beam irradiation to proembryo and the in vitro growth and differentiation have been characterized. The in vitro cultured albino plants showed significant reduction of chlorophyll content and possessed larger number of stomata on both upper and lower epidermis than that of wild-type plants. Stem growth of the mutants remained dwarfed, however, the internode recovered its normal length after GA$_3$ treatment (10.0mg/L) on the MS medium containing sucrose under continuous light. When explants of leaf blades of albino plants were cultured, multiple shoots formed directly on MS medium containing 1.0mg/L of BAP or kinetin and a large number of calli were induced on the MS medium containing 1.0mg/L NAA or 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D. The albino calli regenerated multiple albino plantlets in the MS medium containing 0.1mg/L NAA + 1.0 mg/L BAP. No significant differences between the wild-type and albino plants were detected in the multiple shoot induction, callus formation from the explants and the plantlets regeneration from calli. In addition, albino plants have a similar organogenesis Pattern to that of the wild-type in the media with different combinations of NAA (0 to 5.0mg/L) and BAP (0 to 5.0mg/L) treatment. These results indicate that the albino mutant has the same normal regeneration ability as that of wild-type, although the mutant has lost functions in photosynthesis, such as pigmentation.

Calli were induced from leaf explants of B.falcatum, and selected cell clumps of the calli (900-1, 000${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 mg/L 2, 4-D for 7 days, respectively: The clumps were subsequently transferred onto MS basal medium and subcultured for four weeks. In order to investigate the effect of 2, 4-D pretreatment, the selected clumps were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L 2, 4-D for 24, 48, 72, 96, 120 or 144 hours and then transferred to liquid MS basal medium, wherein they were cultured for 4 weeks. Histological observation showed that root initial cells were developed from cells on the surface of clumps or from cells in the inner region. Clumps on the basal medium produced mot within 5 days of culture. The rate of prutruding time was inversely proportional to the concentration of 2, 4-D. The number of adventitious roots per clump preheated with 0.1 mg/L 2, 4-D was an average of 5.2, which was the highest level. On MS medium as control, the clumps formed 3.3 adventitious roots each. As tile concentration of 2, 4-D increased, the number of adventitious roots were declined accordingly: The number of adventitious roots as the period of pretreatment increased upto 120 h.

Interspecific crossing was conducted to obtain hybrid lilly with better quality of adapting to the unfavorable environment using oriental Lilium spp. as a female parent. Average interspecific crossing rate between oriental and asiatic lines by cut-style pollination was as low as 29%. Although the average germination rate of zygotic hybrid embryo between oriental 'Rodolfa' ${\times}$ asiatic 'Toronto' was increased from 76.6% to 78.3%. on 114 or 1/6 strength MS medium compared to the control, the rate of zygotic embryos formation between oriental 'Farolito' ${\times}$ asiatic 'Buff Pixie' was significantly enhanced up about 86~90% on 1/2 strength MS medium. Meanwhile, germination rate of interspecific hybrid embryo between oriental 'Snow Cristal' ${\times}$ asiatic 'Royal Trinity' showed up 100%. Germination rate of interspecific hybrids slightly increased by addition of $0.5-1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ GA. Germination rate of zygotic embryos between oriental 'Farolito' ${\times}$ asiatic 'Buff Pixie' and oriental 'Belcanto' ${\times}$ L. callosum was highest on the MS medium containing $0.01mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA and $0.1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ kinetin, as 66.6% and 45.2% respectively.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant properties of Rosa rugosa extract and to identify which of its components are responsible for these properties. Reactive oxygen species play an important role in diseases such as cancer, arteriosclerosis, and heart disease as a consequence of increased metabolic rates, gene mutations, and relative hypoxia. Therefore, the antioxidant effect of R. rugosa extract was confirmed by HPLC, HPLC-MS/MS, the total polyphenol content, the total flavonoid content, and the radical scavenging activity. HPLC and HPLC-MS/MS analyses were conducted to identify and quantify the main components of the R. rugosa extract. Gallic acid and epigallocatechin gallate were identified as the main components, with 17.4 and 4.35 mg/g dry matter (DM), respectively. The antioxidant activity of R. rugosa extract was evaluated based on its total polyphenol content, total flavonoid content, and radical scavenging activity, which were 72.3 mg gallic acid equivalent/g DM, 11.2 mg quercetin equivalent/g DM, and 87.9%, respectively. The radical scavenging activities of the main components, gallic acid and epigallocatechin gallate, were 80.5% and 89.7%, respectively. Therefore, R. rugosa has a high polyphenol content and antioxidant activity, and it can be used as a natural antioxidant in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

This paper describes a simultaneous method for the determination of two aminoglycosides (neomycin and gentamicin) using solid phase extraction followed by liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometry. The extract was applied to an WCX and HLB solid phase extraction cartridge. The cartridges were washed with water and methanol, and analytes were eluted with TCA buffer-acetonitrile mixture. The aminoglycosides were separated by ion-pairing reversed phase mode prior to ESI-LC/MS. Under the conditions applied neomycin was almost separated from all the gentamicin compounds. No interfering peaks from endogenous compounds of matrix were noted at the elution position of the analytes. Recoveries of neomycin fortified at levels of 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/kg seafood samples ranged from 92 to 115%. Recoveries of gentamycin fortified at levels of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 mg/kg seafood samples ranged from 99 to 116%. Method detection limits in four seafood sample matrices were between 0.002 and 0.033 mg/kg.

A Polygonatum stenophyllum Maxim. is an important endangered plant belonging to the family Liliaceae. A method was developed for the rapid micropropagation of P. stenophyllum through plant regeneration from rhizome (1-year, 3-years, and 5-years) explant-derived calli. The rhizome segments were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with varying concentrations of 2,4-D (0, 0.5, 1.0, $1.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) for callus induction. In media supplemented with $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of 2,4-D, 87% of 3-years rhizome produced callus. Subsequently, the callus was transferred to 1/2MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of IAA, IBA, NAA, and 2,4-D (0, 0.1, 0.5 and $1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) for adventitious shoot formation. The highest percentage of adventitious shoot induction (57%) was observed in 1/2MS medium containing $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of NAA. Elongation of the adventitious shoot was achieved in 1/2MS medium supplemented with $0.1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of BA. Rooting was achieved in 1/2MS medium without any hormones. It is hypothesized that the stated in vitro propagation protocol will be useful for conservation and mass propagation of the endangered Polygonatum stenophyllum Maxim. for bioresources.

This study aimed to investigate the acrylamide content in frozen food products after cooking. Twenty samples of bread (Group 1) and 30 samples of processed tuberous and corn vegetable products (Group 2) were selected. Acrylamide levels were quantified using liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The frozen food samples were heated using the air fryer cooking method according to the product packaging and were compared to ready-to-eat French fries (Group 3). The results showed that the acrylamide content was the highest in group 3, followed by that in group 2 and group 1. The acrylamide content of all the samples was found to be within the domestic recommended standard of 1 mg/kg. However, when the samples that exceeded EU benchmark level (0.5 mg/kg) were selected and cooked using the deep-fat frying method according to the product packaging, one of them showed the acrylamide content of 1.83 mg/kg, which exceeded the domestic recommended standard. The present study highlights the need for continued evaluation and management to reduce acrylamide contents in frozen foods, as increasing domestic exposure to acrylamide is concerning.
