A pretreatment procedure was performed to improve recovery of selenium from enriched egg and dried pork. Samples were digested with only $HNO_3$ in beaker at $150^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs, and Se was determined by ICP-MS. Recovery of selenium was 94.2%, and its C.V. value was 2.48%. The analytical results of Se by this method were 0.13 - 2.71 mg/kg for egg and 0.36 - 4.19 mg/kg for dried pork.

Conditions for somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from stem tissues of Euphorbia pulcherrima were esta-blished. Explants from leaf, petiole, stem were examined for their embryogenesis on MS solid medium supplemented with plant growth hormones in combination at various concentrations. From leaf or petiole explants, callus was indu-ced well but never proceeded to the embryonic stage in our expermental conditions. From stem explants, however, multiple shoots following callus induction emerged in about 6 to 8 weeks on MS agar medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/L of benzyladenine. Upon transfer, roots were developed on hormone-free MS solid medium.

This study was carried out to investigate the optimal conditions for efficient in vitro growth of Asparagus cochinchinensis (Lour.) Merr. shoot derived from shoot tip. Shoots were successfully cultured in MS medium. It was found that $23^{\circ}C{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ were suitable for shoot growth. The growth of shoot was greatly influenced by cytokinins. The shoots derived from shoot tip were well elongated on MS medium supplemented with BA and zeatin. In vitro shoots were very poor or no growing. Especially, 3.0 mg/l BA on MS medium was very effective in elongation of shoot. Root formation from in vitro growth of plant let was achieved on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l IBA. The results suggest that selection of plant growth regulator could be important factor to achieve an efficient in vitro growth.

A plant regeneration system using shoot basal callus of in vitro cultured black locust(Robinia pseudoacacia L.) was established. Shoot basal callus was induced on MS medium supplemented with BA, or NAA, and mere more proliferated on BA containing medium than NAA containing medium at both light and dark conditions. Shoot basal callus was induced during shoot multiplication procedure. Two types of callus, green colored callus and whitish-yellow colored callus, were cultured on mMS medium containing 2.0 mg/l BA and 0.5 mg/l NAA. Green colored callus showed the shoot regeneration ability while whitish-yellow callus failed to regenerate shoot and died. Regenerated shoot were rooted on hormone-free ${\frac{1}{2}}MS$ medium within 2 weeks.

The bulb scales and shoot sections ($7\;\cal{mm}\;\times\;15\;\cal{mm}$) of Lilium oriental hybrid 'Casablanca' were cultured to compare bulblet growth in vitro. Shoots were induced from in vitro grown bulbscales on MS medium with $1.0\;\cal{mg/L}\;BA,\;0.5\;\cal{mg/L}$ IAA, and 30 g/L sucrose. The regenerated shoots were cut into shoot sections, and cultured on MS medium with $2.0\;\cal{mg/L}\;BA,\;0.5\;\cal{mg/L}$ IAA and 30 g/L sucrose for shoot proliferation. Culture of shoot sections stimulated bulblet growth significantly than the bulb scales on MS medium with 60 g/L sucrose. However, the bulblets from shoot sections did not reach ideal size to produce stems with several leaves. Therefore, liquid medium was added into the same vessels to stimulate bulblet growth further. After shoot sections were cultured on MS medium with 60 g/L sucrose and 2 g/L activated charcoal for two months in dark, $20\;\cal{ml}$ liquid media containing various concentrations of sucrose and MS salts were added. Two months later, the added liquid medium stimulated bulblet growth remarkably as compared to bulblets grown without added liquid medium. The added $25\;\cal{ml}$ liquid medium containing 120 g/L sucrose and double strength of MS salts were the most effective for growth of in vitro bulblets. More than $94\%$ bulblets produced by this method sprouted stems with several leaves after cold treatment at $5^{\circ}C$ for three months.

This study was conducted to determine the optimum cultural condition and method for in vitro mass production of Hibiscus syriacus L. 'Honghwarang'. When callus induced in MS solid medium supplemented with 0.01 mg/L TDZ was cultured in liquid medium containing 0.01mg/L TDZ, callus growth and shoot primordia formation was most effective. Formed shoot primordia were regenerated into shoot in MS or 1/2 MS medium of growth regulator-free condition. Effects of mesh size, shaking speed on callus and shoot primordia formation were examined after 5 weeks. Callus and shoot primordia formation was formed most effectively at 10 mesh and 80 rpm shaking speed in liquid medium.

This study was conducted to determine the optimum conditions for induction and different somatic of somatic embryos as well as germination of encapsulated and stored somatic embryos. Somatic embryos was better formed in 1/2X MS medium than full - strength MS medium. 0.1 to 1.0mg/lBA and kinetin promoted shoot differentiation of somatic embryos. Higher concentration tend to inhibit differentiation. IAA affect positively both root and shoot growth. In vitro germination of somatic embryos encapsulated with 2% alginate matrix containing 1/2 MS nutrient medium and $AgNO_3$ 5mg/l was 86%. Storage of somatic embryos was effecive at $5^{\circ}C$ but the germination rate decreased with longer storage period. RAPD analyses with plants regenerated from the somatic embryos showed DNA polymorphism, indicating abolition of primer binding site by point mutation, deletion, or insertion of certain sequences.

Filtration experiments were conducted to determine the characteristics of manganese removal in filtration using 4 different filter media including sand and manganese sand(MS). Filtration velocity was 123 m/d and the flow rate was $3.9m^3/d$ per column. Duration of these experiments was about one year, and manganese dioxide accumulation, turbidity removal, manganese removal, and organic material removal were examined depending on filter media. When filter influent(residual chlorine 1.0 mg/L) with an average manganese concentration of 0.208 mg/L was fed through a filter column, the sand+MS and MS columns removed 98.9% and 99.2% of manganese respectively on an annual basis. When there is need to replace the sand filters with a MS filter to remove manganese, it was shown that the replacement of a partial sand filter with MS had adequate manganese removal.

This study was carried out to select the appropriate medium(especially, carbon and nitrogen source ) for somatic embryogenesis in order to develop the rapid mass production system in suspension culture of chuanxiang Hort. Suitable medium for somatic embryo formation was MS medium. The half strength MS medium was effective for somatic embryo development. Sucrose was the most effective carbon source for somatic embryo formation, however, production of somatic embryos was reduced at higher concentration of sucrose. Effects of suger was the same as sucrose. Somatic embryo formation was higher as the decrease of $NH_{4}NO_3$, and optimum ratio of $KNO_3\;:\;NH_4NO_3$ was 825 : 238mg /1. Regenerated plant was obtained in MS basal medium and survival late of plantlet was 60-70% after transplanted directly to the vermiculite.

BACKGROUND: The conazoles, difenoconazole, diniconazole, hexaconazole, penconazole and tetraconazole are a large class of synthetic fungicides used extensively for foliage and seed treatments in agricultural crops. The extensive use of conazoles has brought concerns on the potentiality of environmental contamination and toxicity. Thus studies on the development of methods for monitoring the conazoles are required. METHODS AND RESULTS: A modified quick, easy, effective, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) method was involved in sample preparation. Quadrapole time of flight mass spectrometer (Q-TOF MS) in electron spray ionization (ESI) mode was employed to determine conazoles in garlic samples. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of conazoles by Q-TOF-MS ranged from 0.001 to 0.002 mg/L and 0.002 to 0.005 mg/L, respectively. Q-TOF-MS analysis exhibited less than 2.6 ppm error of accurate mass measurements for the detection of conazoles spiked at 0.05 mg/L in garlic matrix. Recovery values of conazoles fortified in garlic samples at 0.02, 0.05 and 0.1 mg/L were between 79.2 and 106.2% with a maximum 11.8% of standard deviation. No detectable conazoles were found in the domestic market samples by using the Q-TOF-MS method. CONCLUSION(s): High degree of confirmation for conazoles by accurate mass measurements demonstrated that Q-TOF-MS analysis combined with a QuEChERS method may be applicable to simultaneous determination of conazoles in garlic samples.
