This experiment was conducted to determine the selective mechanism of cyhalofop-butyl ester on uptake, traslocation, and metabolism of the herbicide in both rice and Echinochloa crus-galli. Uptake and translocation of $^{14}C$-cyhalofop-butyl ester was higher in E. crus-galli than rice when treated to shoot. $^{14}C$-uptake by root of E. crus-galli increased rapidly at 30 minute after treatment and reached the maximum at 12 hoots after treatment. After that, uptake was leveled off. Uptake pattern in rice root was not significantly affected by the duration of herbicide treatment. In E. crus-galli, the absorbed $^{14}C$-cyhalofop-butyl ester seemed to be rapidly metabolized into free acid and the content of changed free acid was higher than rice.

High voltage pulsed electric fields (PEF) treatment is a promising non-thermal processing technology that can replace or partially substitute for thermal processes. The aim of this research was to investigate the microbial inactivation mechanisms by PEF treatment in terms of physiological changes to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. PEF was applied at the electric field strength of 50 kV/cm, treatment time of 56 ${\mu}s$ and temperature of $40^{\circ}C$. The microbial cells treated with PEF showed loss of salt tolerance on the cell membrane and collapse of the relative pH gradient on in-out of cells. Cell death or injury resulted from the breakdown of homeostasis, decreased $H^+$-ATPase activity, and loss of glycolysis activity.
