본 연구는 견사중의 Cystine 성분을 가잠전과정을 통하여 기존재를 확인하고 견사구조중에서 cross linkage를 조성하고 있음을 확인하는데 있으며 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. Cystine 결정체를 Folin 씨 방법으로 견사로부터 분리하였다. 2. 견사 및 그와 관련있는 과정에서 Sullivan 씨 방법으로 다음과 같이 분석하였다. 시료 Cystine 함유량 ％ A. 상엽단백질 0.175 B.잠란 0.33 C. 잠체 (탈지, 숙잠, 견사선제외) 0.41 D. 견사선 (숙잠) 1.23 E. 잠 0.0 F. 잠통 (탈지) 0.30 G. 잠아 (탈지) 0.60 H. 생계 0.22 I. Fibroin 0.175 J. Sericin 0.30 3. 잠체내의 Cystine 존재는 상엽에서 0.175%, 견사선에서 0.12%의 Methionine을 확인함으로 생화학적의의와 더불어 재확인하였다. 4. 견사선내의 Sulfhydryl 화합물은 Sericin과 Methionine으로 전환하는 동시에 전자는 액상견으로 분비되어 견사를 구성하고 후자는 영양목적으로 견사선세포 육성에 사용되는 것으로 믿어진다. 5. Cystine 성분량은 상품종, 잠품종, 자웅성, 육종과정과 사육환경에 따라 변화한다. 6. 잡종강세로 육성된 교잡종은 원잠종보다 효과적인 성장을 위하여 더욱 많은 영양성 아미노산을 필요로 한다. 7. 여기한 관찰을 통하여 견사중 아미노산조성은 어느정도 변화하는 것이며 Cystine은 섬유의 무정형부분 특히 Sericin에 함유되고 있다. 8. 순수한 Cystine 또는 양모 Cystine을 첨식한 결과 하등의 이익점을 초래하지 못하였음으로 상엽중에 함유되어있는 Cystine과 Methionine 함유량은 잠아의 영양생리에 충분한 것으로 보인다. 9. 견사중의 disulfide cross linkage는 Harris 씨 방법과 여러가지 염류와 산에 의한 수축현상으로 확인하였고 양모와 대조하여 시험하였다. 10. 본 연구중 견사의 사상구조와 액상견의 입망상구조를 현미경으로 포착하였다. 액상견의 입망상은 입상 peptide의 OH ion과 물의 H ion의 인력관계로 형성되고 있다는 것을 기 film의 배열상태로 고찰하게 되었고 상엽단백질의 입망상은 견사의 사상형성에 적당한 사료임을 보이고 있다. 11. 본 논문을 통한 Cystine 존재는 비록 그 량이 적지마는 견사중의 Cystine 전무에 대한 종래관념을 전환시킬 것이다.

Oral supplementation of zinc chloride to silkworm larvae in different concentrations (30, 60 and 90 ${\mu}g$/ml) to the fourth and fifth instar resulted in a significant increase in commercial traits, like larval weight, silk gland weight, cocooning percentage in lower concentrartion (30 ${\mu}g$) treated group. The female cocoon weight, shell weight and its ratio were significantly increased in 30 and 60 ${\mu}g$ treated groups, male cocoon weight, and shell weight in 30 ${\mu}g$ treated group and its ratio in 60 and 90 ${\mu}g$ treated groups, filament length, weight and moth emergence percentage in all the treated groups and egg productivity in 90 ${\mu}g$ treated group were increased significantly. The remaining groups did not show any significant changes compared with that of carrier control.

The effect of supplementation with potassium nitrate on economic parameters was analysed following treatment of last larval stadium. The treated larvae showed a significant increase in larval weight at 500$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml and silk gland weight in all the treated groups along with other enhanced larval, cocoon and adult parameters. The larval period was significantly decreased in all the treated groups with increased female and male cocoon weights its shell weights filament lengths at 500$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. The denier was significantly decreased in all the groups. The filament weight moth emergence percentaged length of the ovariole were unaffected. However, eggs per ovariole, fecundity and hatching percentage significantly decreased compared with the corresponding parameters of the carrier control.

The effect of topical application with hydrocortisone on economic parameters was analysed following treatment of last larval stadium. The treated larvae showed a significant increase in larval weight at higher concentrations along with other enhanced larval, cocoon and adult parameters. This suggests that hydrocortisone can be used effectively for commercial silkworm rearing. The larvas period was significantly increased in all the treated groups with increased female cocoon weights, its shell weights and male cocoon shell weight at 20$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml treated group. Filament length, weight and denier were increased significantly in all the treated groups. Moth emergence percentage, length of the ovariole, eggs per ovariole, fecundity and rind hatching percentage were unaffected when compared with that of the carrier control group. This suggests that hydrocortisone in addition to affecting larval growths also affect silk crop.

The present study aimed to determine whether a hemolymph prepared from Antheraea yamamai larvae had the same biological activities using a Bombyx mori hemolymph prior to exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in order to induce an inflammatory response. The effects of the hemolymph were determined using a reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction to assess the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules. The A. yamamai hemolymph exerted anti-inflammatory effects on LPS-activated human monocytic leukemia cells via Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4-mediated suppression, similar to the B. mori hemocyte extract. Treatment with the A. yamamai hemolymph significantly suppressed LPS-induced upregulated inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) mRNA expression at all tested concentrations compared with the control, similar to the B. mori immune-challenged hemolymph. Finally, the A. yamamai hemolymph, like the B. mori immune-challenged hemolymph, suppressed all of these concentrations in a dose-independent manner. These results demonstrate that the hemolymph of A. yamamai exhibited important biologically active substances. Further in-depth functional studies are required to fully understand the mechanisms underlying the biological activities of wild-type silkworm hemolymphs.

The work on the 'Studies of radiosensitivity' in Korea has been initiated since 1959 by the author at various institutions in home and foreign countries, and more than 20000 of plant materials in 73 varieties and 41 kinds are treated under varied conditions for the studies of radiosensitivity in plants. However, a study of the susceptibility to radiation in insect pests as well as their biological effects has not been previously reported in this country. During the year of 1964 and 1965, near 50000 of insects at the stages of adult, egg, larva and pupa in 14 different kinds are irradiated under acute X and gamma rays to investigate the behavior of growth and lethality after irradiation, and thrir general tolerances to radiations are compared by the kind of insects, stage of growth, radiation sources and exposured dosages. Through the experiments, it is shown that the lethality in most of insects are high as several kilo roentgens above and no significant effects on pupation. emergence, and oviposition in the treated generation at the dose of 3 Kr. below, but in the following generation , the rice stem borer for instance, no oviposition or decreased laying is observed from the dosages at 3 Kr. to 1 Kr., and the hatching was possible from 1.5 Kr. below of irradiated larvae although laying and hatching are seemed in normal. In general, the lethal dose $50\%$ of tested infect materials at the larval stage can he classified some what 60-80 Kr. for Pine caterpillar, Fall webworm, Camphor silk moth and their relatives, at 40-60 Kr. for Gypsy moth, Monley prominent and some relatives and at 20-30 Kr. for House fly, Rice weevil, Pine sawfly etc. Plant parasitic nematodes such as Hirschmannia and Paratylenchus shown very high resistance to radiation and the LD-50 is observed from 100 Kr. or above. A concept to evaluate the radiosensitivity in insects by taxological family line as a practical measure is not answerable yet, but it ran he solved within the near future through the continuing experiments.

본 연구에서는 상처, 병원균의 침입 등에 의하여 발현양이 크게 증폭되는 토마토 PAL유전자의 promoter에 giant silk moth(Hyalophora cecropia)로부터 분리한 lytic gene의 genetic code를 일부 변경한 Shiva 유전자를 부착하여 담배, 감자 등의 작물에 형질전환을 시도하였다. 형질전환된 담배로부터 얻은 종자에 대한 kanamycin저항성 유전자의 유전분석, PCR 증폭 혹은 genomic Southern blot hybridization에 의하여 tPAL5 promoter-Shiva fusion gene의 염색체내로의 integration을 확인하였다. Kanamycin 저항성 유전자의 유전분석에서 선발된 7개체를 PCR 분석 실시한 결과 모든 개체가 positive임이 확인되었으나, genomic Southern blot Hybridization으로는 4개체가 negative로 나타났다. 특히 한 개체의 경우는 chromosome rearrangement 현상이 일어난 것으로 추정되었다. 감자의 경우는 남작(Irish Cobbler) 품종이 Zeatin 2.0 mg/L NAA 0.01 mg/L, GA$_3$ 0.1mg/L을 포함한 배지에서 callus형성율 및 shooting율이 가장 높아서 재분화된 형질전환체를 얻을 수 있었다. 한편 GUS 유전자는 Shiva 유전자의 3' 말단에 존재하는 NOS terminator 때문에 translation까지의 발현이 어려울 것으로 예상되었으나 형질 전환하지 않은 담배에서보다 10배 이상의 GUS활성을 나타내었다. 또한 감자 조직에 X-gluc을 사용하여 GUS($\beta$-glucuronidase)의 기질로 작용하게 하여 효소활성 자리를 염색한 결과 줄기, 잎, 뿌리 등의 도관 조직에 다량 발혈됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

The present investigation was carried out to study the possible cause for reciprocal difference in silkworm hybrids. By utilising the polyvoltine race Pure Mysore (PM) and newly evolved breeds (CSR2, CSR5, CSR16 and CSR17), the direct and reciprocal crosses of polyvoltine ${\times}$ bivoltine and also bivoltine hybrids were studied. The hybrids of polyvoltine ${\times}$ bivoltine (direct) are superior to their reciprocal crosses in respect of cocoon yield, cocoon weight and filament length. The reciprocal crosses of polyvoltine ${\times}$ bivoltine are superior to their direct crosses in respect of fecundity and short larval duration. No significant differences were observed in the characters like cocoon shell ratio, raw silk percentage, denier, reelability and neatness in both polyvoltine ${\times}$ bivoltine direct crosses and their reciprocals. The expression of cocoon characters as a function of sex revealed that direct crosses (polyvoltine ${\times}$ bivoltine) showed higher cocoon weight, pupal weight, shell weight and longer filament length in females than the reciprocal crosses (bivoltine ${\times}$ polyvoltine), where as these characters in males were almost the same in both direct and reciprocal crosses, indicating that the sex-linked genetic factor played a more important role. it was clear that difference in cocoon yield observed in reciprocal crosses of polyvoltine ${\times}$ bivoltine was due to the low cocoon and shell weight in females which was turn due to presence of early maturity genes (Lme) linked with sex-chromosome (X) which effect on larvae period of the silkworm. In bivoltine hybrids, i.e., both direct and their reciprocals crosses, all the characters viz., hatching percentage, larval duration, survival, cocoon weight, cocoon shell weight, cocoon shell ratio, raw silk percentage, filament length, denier, reelability and neatness did not show any significant difference (except number of eggs laid by moth) which could account for presence of same maturity genes (Lm) in both direct and reciprocal crosses. it was clear that reciprocal differences occur when the hybrids are prepared from the parental strains with different voltinism.
