The effects of MS salt strength, sucrose, and cultural conditions on bulblet formation and growth were investigated to optimize the conditions for micropropagating bulblets from in vitro bulb scales of Lilium Oriental Hybrid 'Casa Blanca'. There was no difference on bulblet formation in the range of 1/2~2 $\times$ strength of MS salt, but it was inhibited remarkably in 3 $\times$ strength of MS salt. The growth of regenerated bulblets was most stimulated on MS basal medium. Favorable bulblet formation and its growth from bulb scales were achieved when grown on the media with 1 : 2 or 1 : 3 in the ratio of NH$_4$^+ : NO$_3$^- , as well as on MS basal medium (NH$_4$^+ : NO$_3$^- = about l : 2). Therefore, MS basal medium was very suitable for bulblet formation and growth from bulb scales. Bulblet formation was inhibited but its growth was stimulated with increase sucrose concentration in the medium. The growth of regenerated bulblets was very effective on the media with 9~12% sucrose. Addition of activated charcoal (AC) to the medium inhibited bulblet formation from bulb scales, but enhanced the growth of regenerated bulblets. Especially, the medium containing 1 g/L AC was most effective on the growth of bulblets. No difference was found on bulblet formation and growth from bulb scales under light and dark conditions. In vitro micropropagation of L. Oriental Hybrid 'Casa Blanca' was supposed very reasonable to enhance the growth of the bulblets after forming of bulblets from in vitro bulb scales, and then, subculture the bulb scales from the grown bulblets on MS medium with 9% sucrose and 1 g/L AC.

Macrolepiota procera, one of edible mushrooms belongs to Agaricaceae of Basidiomycota, has a good taste and good medicinal value. As a preliminary study for the development of artificial cultivation method of edible mushroom, cultural characteristics of M. procera was investigated on various culture media under different environmental conditions. Mycelial growth was compared on culture media composed of various carbon and nitrogen sources, and C/N ratios. The optimal conditions for the mycelial growth were $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 7. M. procera showed the rapid mycelial growth in the PDA media. The optimal carbon and nitrogen sources were maltose and glycine, respectively. The optimum C/N ratio was about 10 : 1 in case that 1% glucose was supplemented to the basal media as carbon source.

Various fractions of apple fibers such as crude pulp, total dietary fiber, soluble dietary fiber, and insoluble dietary fiber were prepared and added to the proteose peptone-yeast extract-fildes (PYF) media to see their effects on the growth of type cultures of intestinal bacteria. Most microbes tested in this experiment grew well in PYF media with the soluble dietary fiber of apple than with the insoluble dietary fiber. Especially Bifidobacterium species such as B. adolescentis, B. animalis, B. infantis, B. longum, B. thermophilum showed higher growth in PYF media containing the soluble dietary fiber than other fiber fractions. However, pectin-added media didn't promote the growth of most microbes used in the experiment. In the in vitro mixed culture using rat feces as starter, the addition of the soluble dietary fiber or pectin to the basal medium showed larger proportion of Bifidobacterium species in total bacteria than that of glucose.

An in vitro study was conducted to examine the effect of sources and the addition levels of carbohydrates on fermentation characteristics, bacterial growth, and hydrogenation of linoleic acid ($C_{18:2}$) by mixed ruminal bacteria. Starch and cellobiose were added to the 200 ml non-selective basal media at the levels of 0.20 and 0.35% (w/v), respectively. Linoleic acid (66.8~79.6 mg) in the absorbed form into the pieces of nylon cloth was also added to the media of 5 treatments including control which was not added with carbohydrate. Three mls of rumen fluid strained through 12 layers of cheese cloth were added to each medium, and were incubated anaerobically in the shaking incubator of $39^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. During 24 h incubation the pH in incubation media of all treatments was maintained above 6.6 by the addition of sodium bicarbonate. The pH and ammonia concentration of incubation media were not clearly influenced by the sources and addition levels of carbohydrates while additions of carbohydrates increased (p<0.0001) VFA concentration at the 24 h incubation. Molar proportions of acetate were reduced (p<0.0004) while those of propionate were increased (p<0.0006) by the addition of carbohydrates. But the differences in concentration and molar proportions of the VFA were small between the sources or the addition levels. Bacterial growth was faster (p<0.0004) in the starch added treatments than in the cellobiose added ones and control, but no differences were found between addition levels. Increased (p<0.0487) hydrogenation was observed from the starch added treatments compared to the cellobiose added ones, but there was no difference between addition levels.

Plant regeneration protocols for adventitious shoot organogenesis from apple (Malus domestica 'Fuji') leaf explants were developed in the present study. The effects of different basal media, types and concentrations of carbon sources, and concentrations of plant growth regulators were evaluated to determine the optimal shoot regeneration conditions for 'Fuji' apple leaf explants. On different treatments involving combinations of basal media, LS and N6 media, and different types and concentrations of cytokinins, 6-benzyl-adenine (BA) and thidiazuron (TDZ), shoot regeneration rates were the highest in the N6 medium combined with BA. Among the plant growth regulator and carbon source combination treatments, 5.0 mg/L BA, and 0.1 mg/L α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) with 40 g/L sorbitol was the optimal combination for shoot regeneration. In addition, the optimal sorbitol concentrations for shoot regeneration were 40 g/L and 60 g/L. The highest regeneration (81.8%) was achieved using 40 g/L sorbitol. The regenerated shoots elongated and rooted on rooting medium, consisting of 1/4 MS medium with 0.2 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). The plantlets were acclimatized and the regenerated plants exhibited normal phenotypes.

Purpose : To evaluate the usefulness of cerebral blood flow measurement applied to perfusion weighted image with short-scan time single shot gradient echo-planar technique in measuring cerebral blood volume(rCBV) of normal rabbits. Materials and methods : With 2.1-3.6 kg weighted rabbits, image is acquired when they are in supine position in children positioner. Perfusion weighted image is acquired to 44 seconds per 1 second successively. After 4 seconds later, Gd-DTPA 2ml are injected into int. jugular vein with 2 ml per second and normal saline is also injected after that. Same technique is applied 2 times per 30 minites in same rabbit. After Image is obtained in two part of cerebral cortex at vertex, convexity, in one of basal ganglia with choosing about $3-5{\textrm{mm}^2}$ areas. Curve of signal intensity changes in time sequence is drawn. After this images are transmitted by PC and software IDL, regional cerebral blood volume is measured with imaging processing program made by us. Results : With 22 of 24 rabbits, satisfactory 1-2 signal intensity versus time curve is made. Cerebral blood capacity and contrast media stay time (ST) is measured in two cerebral cortex and basal ganglia refering in parietal cerebral cortex. Mean focal cerebral blood flow capacity ratio in cortex was $0.97{\pm}0.35$ and in basal ganglia, $0.99{\pm}0.37$, mean contrast media stay time in cortex was $9.83{\pm}1.63$ sec and in basal gaiglia, $9.42{\pm}1.14$ sec, but there was no statistically significant difference between two areas ($\rho$=0.05). Conclusion : In cerebral cortex and basal ganglia, there is no difference in mean focal blood volume and mean contrast stay time. Therefore, PWI is useful in cerebral blood flow and early diagnosis, prognosis of cerebral ischemic disease. Hereafter, it is helpful in analysing cerebral blood flow changes with comparison difference in rCBV between normal tissue and ischemic tissue, and that with DWI finding in infarcted patient.

A low serum medium(LSM) suitable for the growth of a self-constructed hybridoma cell line, KA112, was established by selecting ingredients to replace serum. Insulin and sodium pyruvate was important for the growth of cell line KA112. Various basal media were tested and DMEM gave the most favorable result. Low serum medium (LSM) developed in this work showed cell line stability in the culture for more than 6 months and exhibited cell growth equivalent to that carried out in medium supplemented with 7% FBS. LSM was found to be applicable to the suspension culture of KA112. The reduction of serum level down to 1%(V/V) FBS in LSM resulted in a substantial saving in the cost of media preparation for large scale culture.

The in vitro propagation of the commercially important Phalaeonopsis hybrid 'Little gem' was achieved by culturing the apical part and axillary buds excised from flower stalks. The explants were cultured on 5 different basal media: $3.0{\cdot}L^{-1}$ Hyponex and $4.0{\cdot}L^{-1}$ peptone ($H_3P_4$) and Murashige & Skoog (MS) media were shown to be suitable for shoot regeneration. The MS medium supplemented with $5.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) was found to be more efficient for shoot regeneration. However, the number of shoots induced by axillary buds was higher than that induced by the apical part. Incubation of the apical part under darkness for one week, as well as of the explants in the same medium with activated charcoal (AC) $0.5g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ promoted shoot regeneration and shoot growth; similar growth was not observed with axillary buds.

Protocols for in vitro conservation was developed for Coleus forskohlii. Plants maintained both in field served as explant source. Shoot tips and single node cuttings were used to optimize protocols for in vitro multiplication. MS basal medium supplemented with $0.54\;{\mu}M$ naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and $8.87\;{\mu}M$ benzy-ladenine (BA) induced multiple shoots in shoot tips and nodes. Shoot multiplication was amplified with a gradual decrease of BA concentration, leading to its final omission after 4 months. Concomitant rooting on multiplication media enabled successful establishment extra vitrum. For in vitro conservation studies, experiments were carried out with 2-3 week maintained in vitro plants under standard and reduced culture conditions (SCC, RCC). In vitro plants could be successfully conserved in full strength MS medium (FMS) under SCC for 6 months without subculture with full potential to regenerate, producing viable shoots and nodes. The root production remained unaffected due to conservation, showing high rooting activity in mannitol and low temperature treatments. Preset low temperature (15 and $10^{\circ}C$) and reduction in media constituents does not appear to favour conservation, although the former accomplished conservation levels equal to (FMS) under SCC.

In this study, we established an in vitro regeneration system to maximize the recovery of leafy perilla (Perilla frutescens L. Britton) plantlets as part of developing a molecular biotechnology-based metabolic engineering program for this crop plant. Hypocotyl segments including the apical buds were used as explants for the direct production of shoots without an interim callus phase. The number of shoots produced from the apical buds peaked within 3-4 weeks, and the shoots were subsequently cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with 2 mg $1^{-1}$ benzylaminopurine (BA). Spontaneous rhizogenesis was observed after 7-10 days of culture on MS media without hormonal additives. The rooted shoots developed into normal plants in soil after hardening on distilled water for 3-4 days. The average plantlet regeneration frequency was higher for the apical buds (64.33%) than for the top (15.66%), middle (4%), and basal (1.33%) segments of the hypocotyls. This regeneration system demonstrates a capacity for high-frequency plantlet recovery and thus should be considered for use in the genetic manipulation of leafy perilla.
