The isolatin and culture of protoplasts from hypocotyl originated callus of Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Damyang were carried out. The maximum protoplast yield of 4.6$\times$105 per gram fresh callus, using the 13-day-old callus, was obtained by digeston for 6 hours in the enzyme solution. After 10 day-culture of the isolated callus protoplsts, plating efficiency was 50%. Thereafter, cell cluster medium, and followed by leading to callus formation on an agar medium after 3 weeks of the liquid culture.

Callus culture of Phaseolus vulgaris L. was carried out to examine the ability to grow on cytokinin-free medium. Of the sixteen cultivars of P. vulgaris, eight were classified as completely cytokinin-autonomous phenotype and five were found to be cytokinin-dependent phenotype. Intermediate phenotype was shown in three cultivars. Using cv. Palgong and ca 21 as cytokinin-dependent genotypes, the genotype responses to the cytokinin requirements of callus tissue were studied in detail. The callus tissue of cv. Palgong and ca 21 were never habituated in cytokinin-free medium, regardless tissue origin and cytokinin concentration in previous passages. The result suggests that cytokinin dependency of callus tissue of P. vulgaris cv. Palgong and ca 21 may be due to inactivation of cytokinin biosynthetic pathway.

Two anthocyanins were isolated from 1% HCl-20% methanol extracts of KG 97287 black common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) using semipreparative, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The anthocyanins were identified using a combination of LC/ES-mass spectrometry (MS) and spectroscopic methods of UV-Vis, $^1H-$ and $^{13}C-$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The chemical structures of these two anthocyanins were elucidated as delphinidin 3-glucoside and petunidin 3-glucoside and their contents in KG 97287 black common bean seed coats were determined to be $2.614{\pm}0.11$ and $0.167{\pm}0.01\;mg/g$, respectively. These contents were lower than reported internationally and we recommend the introduction into Korea of high anthocyanin varieties of black common bean.

Acrylamide is present as a contaminant in heated food products, predominantly from the precursor asparagine. Nonanchored inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs) are arbitrary multiloci markers produced by PCR amplification with a microsatellite primer. In order to assess the feasibility of microsatellite primers as markers for DNA damage, the study was conducted on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) exposed to different concentrations of acrylamide. Polymorphisms were abundant among plant samples treated with acrylamide in comparison to control (untreated one) tested with 4- tri-nucleotide, 2 tetra-nucleotide, and 3- dinucelotide primers. The primer (CCG)4 was the best tested primer to generate polymorphism between the DNA of plants treated or not by acrylamide. Polymorphisms became evident as the presence and absence of DNA fragments in treated samples compared with the untreated one. The highest number of DNA variation on ISSR patterns was observed at the micromollar concentrations of acrylamide. Acrylamide was able to induce DNA damage in non concentration-dependent manner with effectiveness at micromollar concentrations. This study demonstrated that ISSR markers can be highly reliable for identification of DNA damage induced by acrylamide.

The inhibitory effect of Inula sesquiterpene lactones on the growth of Phaseolus vulgaris was tested and the abnormality of the stem organization caused by the lactones was also examined. The longitudinal growth of the young stem and the expansion of the young leaf were stopped by the application of the lactones. However, this inhibitory effect was appeared and strictly restricted within the treated area. So the young shoot was observed for possible bending as a result of the unilateral application of the lactones. When the application of the lactones into the medium, the growth of the plant was entirely repressed. However, the growth of shoot and re-initiation of root were started after the plant was transfered to the lactone free medium. And partial reversal of inhibition of the stem growth was achieved by the additions of gibberelline and the lactones.

Phaseolus vulgaris phytohemagglutinin L is a homotetrameric-leucoagglutinating seed lectin. Its three-dimensional structure shows similarity with other members of the legume lectin family. The tetrameric form of this lectin is pH dependent. Gel filtration results showed that the protein exists in its dimeric state at pH 2.5 and as a tetramer at pH 7.2. Contrary to earlier reports on legume lectins that possess canonical dimers, thermal denaturation studies show that the refolding of phytohemagglutinin L at neutral pH is irreversible. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to study the denaturation of this lectin as a function of pH that ranged from 2.0 to 3.0. The lectin was found to be extremely thermostable with a transition temperature around $82^{\circ}C$ and above $100^{\circ}C$ at pH 2.5 and 7.2, respectively. The ratio of calorimetric to vant Hoff enthalpy could not be calculated because of its irreversible-folding behavior. However, from the DSC data, it was discovered that the protein remains in its compact-folded state, even at pH 2.3, with the onset of denaturation occurring at $60^{\circ}C$.

강낭콩(Phaseolus vulgaris L.) 미숙종자로부터 신규 phytosteryl glucoside를 순수분리하였다. 이 화합물은 positive FAB-MS에서 m/z 613에 $[M+Na]^{+}$를, 696에 $[M+Matrix]^{+}$의 강한 ion peak를 나타내었고, negative FABMS에서 m/z 589에 $[M-1]^{-}$의 강한 ion peak를 나타내어 그 분자량은 590으로 확인되었다. 400 MHz $^1H-NMR$ 분석 결과 이 화합물은 24-hydroxy-24-vinyl-cholesterol(saringosterol)과 ${\beta}-D-glucopyranose$가 연결되어 있는 saringosteryl glucoside임을 알 수 있었고, 이 화합물의 acetyl화 화합물의 400 MHz $^1H-NMR$의 분석을 통하여 이 화합물은 saringosterol의 C-3 수산기와 ${\beta}-D-glucopyranose$의 C-1'의 수산기가 탈수축합되어 있는 $3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranosyl-24-hydroxy-24-vinyl-cholesterol$(saringosteryul glucoside)로 구조결정되었다. 이 saringosteryl glucoside는 천연으로부터 처음 동정된 신규 화합물이며, 이 화합물의 aglycone인 saringosterol도 고등 식물에서는 처음으로 발견된 것이다.

The projections from the dorsal raphe (DR) to the locus coeruleus (LC) or vice versa were analyzed in the rat using an anterograde tracer, Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) combined with serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) or dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH) immunostaining. Following the injection of PHA-L into the middle DR, DR-originating fibers with varicosities have contacted DBH-immunolabeled cells in the rostral, middle, and caudal LC. Axon terminals were also observed in the subcoeruleus nucleus. When the PHA-L injection was confined within the caudal DR, axonal fibers with varicosities were observed mainly at the rostral pole of the LC. Following the injection of PHA-L into the caudal, principal LC, labeled fibers with varicosities have contacted 5-HT-immunolabeled neurons at dorsomedial, ventromedial, lateral wing, and caudal sub-divisions of the DR. The present anterograde study suggests that the DR or the LC nuclei communicate with each other in order to perform a variety of functions including vigilance, analgesia, and stress responses.

강낭콩 두 품종(정상종인 Kentucky Wonder와 왜성종인 Masterpiece)의 미성숙종자로부터 부분 정제한 GA 수산화효소를 사용하여 $[^{14}C]GA_{12}$으로부터$\;GA_{15}$의 효소활성의 변화를 조사하였다. 메탄올 침전과 소수성크로마토그래피에 의해 부분 정제된 GA 수산화효소 활성분획은 효율적으로 $GA_{20}$을 $GA_{1}$ 과 $GA_{5}$을 경유하여 $GA_{6}$으로, $GA_{12}$을 $GA_{15},GA_{24}, GA_{9}$을 거쳐 $GA_{4}$로 변환시켰다. 두 품종의 종자성분에 따른 $GA_{12}$로부터 $GA_{15}$의 C-20 수산화효소 활성의 변화와 강약에는 차이가 없었다. 단위 단백질 C-20 수산화효소 활성은 종자가 성숙함에 따라 현저히 감소하였다. 한편 단위 종자당 효소활성은 개화 후 21일 전후에서 최대치를 나타내었는데 이는 $GA_{20}$의 $3{\beta}$-수산화효소활성의 변화와 유사하였다.
