완두 종자에 축적되는 저장물질은 주로 전분과 단백질로서 이러한 저장물질 때문에 고정이나 전자현미경 관찰시료를 제작하기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 자엽을 얇게 절편을 만들고 효소를 사용하여 단일세포로 분리한 다음 고정하여 관찰하였다. 완두의 저장단백질이 축적되는 단백질 저장 액포는 종자발달의 이른 시기에 기존의 액포를 둘러싸고 발달하게 되므로서 액포는 수축되고 단백질 저장 액포는 점점 발달하여 그 가장자리에 단백질 덩어리가 축적되게 된다. 이와는 별도로 종자발달의 이른 시기에 조면소포체의 내강에 전자밀도가 높은 단백질이 축적되기 시작하여 늦은 시기에 이 소포체의 끝이 부풀어서 구형의 단백과립으로 발달하였다. 완두종자의 저장단백질은 주로 vicilin과 legumin으로서 단백과립에 대한 면역세포화학적 방법으로 확인한 결과 vicilin은 세포질에 발달된 작은 단백과립과 단백질 저장액포의 가장자리에 축적된 단백질 덩어리에 모두 반응하였으나 legumin은 세포질의 단백과립에만 반응하였다. 또한 소포체에 존재하는 단백질인 Bip은 단백질 저장액포에 축적된 단백질 덩어리의 안쪽 가장자리에만 반응하였다. 이는 단백질이 활발하게 축적되고있는 시기에 특징적으로 작용하는 Bip의 기능과 관련되는 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서 국내산 겨우살이 lectin이 흰쥐 간의 지방형성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 혈청 내 지질 함량을 측정하였고, 이를 확인하고자 간조직의 지방형성 변화를 조사하였다. 렉틴의 분리는 sephadex G-150로 여과 및 sepharose 4B affinity chromatography 로 정제하였다. $CCl_4$를 복강 내에 투여시 72시간 경과 후 혈청 총cholesterol 및 triglyceride는 정상군 및 olive oil 투여군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였으며, lectin과 $CCl_4$를 동시 투여 하였을 때는 유의한 감소를 나타내였다. 흰쥐 간의 조직학적 관찰은 $CCl_4$투여군은 정상군 및 olive oil 투여군에 비해 지방변화 및 간세포 내에 많은 대소의 cytoplasmic vacuole가 보였으나, $CCl_4$와 lectin을 동시 투여시는 $CCl_4$ 투여군에 비해 cytoplasmic vacuole은 현저히 감소하였고, 이에 비례하여 혈청 cholesterol 및 triglyceride 측정치가 현저히 감소하는 결과를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과를 볼때 흰쥐에서 lectin이 혈청 지질을 감소시키거나 또는 조직학적 관찰에서 간조직의 지질형성을 억제시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

Previous research indicated that free-living sporangial filament keep hollow morph under high-culture density and form bipartite cells under low-culture density, while the following conchospore release was inhibited by high light. Here, we further explored the molecular bases of these affects caused by light and culture density using a transcriptome analysis. Many differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to carbon dioxide concentration and fixation, photosynthesis, chlorophyll synthesis and nitrogen absorption were upregulated under high-light conditions compared with low-light conditions, indicating the molecular basis of rapid vegetative growth under the former. The stress response- and ion transport-related DEGs, as well as the gene encoding the vacuole formation-brefeldin A-inhibited guanine nucleotide exchange protein (BIG, py05721), were highly expressed under high-density conditions, indicating the molecular basis of the hollow morph of free-living sporangial filaments under high-culture density conditions. Additionally, the brefeldin A treatment indicated that the hollow morph was directly influenced by vacuole formation-related vesicle traffic. Others DEGs related to cell wall components, zinc-finger proteins, ASPO1527, cell cycle and cytoskeleton were highly expressed in the low density with low-light group, which might be related to the formation and release of conchospores. These results provide a deeper understanding of sporangial filaments in Neopyropia yezoensis and related species.

Autophagy, which is a process of self eating, has gained interest in the past decade due to its both beneficial and controversial roles in various biological phenomena. The discovery of autophagy genes (ATG) in yeast has led to focused research designed to elucidate the mechanism and regulation of this process. The role of autophagy in a variety of biological phenomena, including human disease, is still the subject of debate. However, recent findings suggest that autophagy is a highly regulated process with both beneficial and negative effects. Indeed, studies conducted using various model organisms have demonstrated that increased autophagy leads to an extended lifespan. Despite these findings, it is still unknown if all pathways leading to extended lifespan converge at the process of autophagy or not. Here, an overview of modern developments related to the process of autophagy, its regulation and the molecular machinery involved is presented. In addition, this review focuses on one of the beneficial aspects of autophagy, its role in lifespan regulation.

Integumentary structure of the amberjack, Seriola dumerili, was examined by light and transmission electron microscopy. Integument of the amberjack consists of epidermal and dermal layers. The epidermal thickness is about $28.32{\mu}m$. The epidermal layer could be classified into superficial, intermediate, and basal layers by morphology and position of the supporting cells. Secretory cells of the epidermal layer were classified into mucous cells and club cells in the amberjack. Mucous cells contained acidic mucous and were alcian-blue positive with AB-PAS (pH 2.5) reaction. The club cells contained well-developed rough endoplasmic reticula and large central vacuole. Also, filament-rich cells were identified in the epidermal layer. The dermal layer consists mainly of collagenous fiber, and it contains fibrocytes and pigment cells. The cytoplasm of fibrocyte had a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum. The pigment cells contained electron-dense melanin granules.

Coccidioides immitis의 mycelial phase와 tissue phase에 있어서 미세구조를 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. mycelial phase의 세포구조에서는 정상적인 균이 보유하고 있는 내용물질을 관찰할 수 있었으며 이는 다른 eucaryotic cell의 구조와 같았다. 2. tissue phase에서는 mycelial phase의 세포의 크기보다 비교적 크기가 컸으며 mycelial phase에서 보다 많은 종의 vacuole이 관찰되었다. 3. Tissue phase에서는 fibril form의 내연층을 볼 수 있었다.

Radiation exposure may cause tissue damage by ionized or excited atoms. The molecules are transformed from water or they directly interact with cells. Antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C are used to reduce the interference of radiation. Especially, vitamin E inhibits the formation and accumulation of lipid and oxidation and the activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes. After irradiation of 3 Gy to the testis, the entire shape of testis was partly depressed and an irregular vacuole was observed to the edge. The 3 Gy group after treatment with vitamin E showed the low destruction of spermatogonia and partial tissue damage as compared to the 3 Gy group. Vitamin E inhibited the production of vacuoles from the cell death and generated the block to prevent the condensation of the seminiferous tubules.

This study has been carried out to investigate the ultrastructural changes, formation of storage materials in endosperm cells with electron microscope during the seed formation of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer. In the early stage of seed formation with green seed coat, the endosperm was cellular type. Cell plate was largely composed of dictyosome vesicles in early stage of wall formation after mitosis. Central vacuole was gradually subdivided into several small-sized vacuoles. During the differentiation of plastids, some proplastid was replaced by amyloplast with starch grains and lamellar structure. A number of mitochondria with well developed cristae were distributed in cytoplasm. Rough endoplasmc reticulum, dictyosome, microbody, free ribosomes and polysomes were evenly distributed in cytoplasm. Spherical spherosomes were formed from dictyosome containing the lipid materials of even electron density. Protein bodies were formed by interfusing between vacuoles and vesicles derived from rough endoplasmic reticulum which contained the amorphous protein of high electron density.

The cell membrane properties in relation to flesh browning of Fuyu persimmon fruits during CA storage were studied. Compared to intact fruits, the flesh tissue of browned fruits showed higher rate of electrolyte leakage, indicating incresed membrane permeability. It could be assumed that the increased membrane permeability results in 1eakage of phenolic compounds from vacuole and their oxidation by contacting with PPO, inducing finally the development of flesh browning. In addition, lower content of fatty acids and higher saturation rate of them were found in browned fruits. In conculusion, it was suggested that the inhibited fatty acid metabolism and fatty acid saturation during CA storage cause membrane Permeability to increase.

Integumentary structures of the chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) were examined by light and transmission electron microscopy. The integument of the fish was composed of epidermal and dermal layers. The epidermal thickness is about $20{\mu}m$ in TL 35~40 cm fish. The epidermal layer could be classified into superficial, intermediate, and basal layers by morphology and position of the supporting cells. The epidermal layer also possessed mucous cells, club cells and chloride cells. The area of secretory cells, including mucous and club cells, is about 23% of the epidermal layer. The mucous materials were identified as sulfated glycoprotein, neutral and acid in nature. Club cells had a large central vacuole and rough endoplasmic reticula in the cytoplasm. Chloride cells had numerous tubular mitochondria in the cytoplasm. The dermal layer consists mainly of collagenous fiber, and it contains fibrocytes, pigment cells and cycloid scales.
