The present researches were carried out to differentiate the species of Colletotrichum by elecrophoretic method. C. gloeosporioides, C. dematium and Gloeosporium fructigenum could be differentiated by the isozyme patterns of esterase, leucine aminopeptidase, acid phosphatase and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase. Especially. G-strain and R-strain of C. gloeosporioides were differentiated by the enzyme patterns. The G­strain damaged all stage fruits (green and red fruits) of Capsicum annum. The R-strain could not infect the unripe (green) fruits, but it could damage only ripe (red) fruit of Capsicum annum.

In this study, plant regeneration through in vitro culture from plantlet stems of Yooja (C. junos Sieb.) and trifoliate orange (P. trifoliata Rafin.) was attempted to make mass-production system of virus-free plants having the same genotype with mother plant. In order to investigate physiological change depending on the developmental stage of plant regeneration, the changes of total protein, peroxidase and esterase activity and their isozyme patterns as well were examined in 1/2 MS medium. The results are as follows : 1. The MS medium for the optimal callus induction and shoot formation was utilized. The medium was supplemented either with 2,4-D and Kinetin or with BA and NAA. The optimal concentrations were the combination of 1.0mg/ 2,4-D +0.3mg/ Kinetin and 1.0mg BA +0.3mg NAA in callus induction and shoot formation, respectively. 2. For the plant regeneration from somatic embryos, 1/2 MS medium was used with supplements of growth regulators (free, 1.0mg/ IBA +1.0mg/ BA ,0.5mg/ IBA +0.5mg/ BA). Shooting and rooting were the best in the treatment of 0.5mg/ IBA and 0.5mg/ BA combination. 3. The total protein content has a tendency of increase with the developmental stage of embryo, but it was decreased at the plantlet. Also it was the highest at 8 and 6 weeks stage in C. junos Sieb. and P. trioliata Rafin, respectively. In the SDS-PAGE pattern of protein, C. junos Sieb. showed bands of 29.0 and 40kDa at 10 weeks. The 45,66 and 97.4 kDa bands at 10 weeks of culture were shown in P. trifoliata Rafin. 4. The highest esterase activity was shown at the 6 and 8 weeks of culture in C.junos Sieb. and P. trifoliata Rafin.., respectively. 5. Esterase isozyme patterns were shown difference according to the developmental stage. In C. junos Sieb. a new band was observed at pl 7.7 following 4 weeks culture. On the other hand, new bands in P. trifoliata Rafin. were observed at pl 7.5~6.5 following 4 and 6 weeks culture, respectively.

Forty-nine plant species as additives to silkworm artificial diet and 5 species as cellulose sources for artificial diet were screened for their economic values as feed-resources for the silkworm. Feeding response to artificial diet was tested on 82 silkworm strains. The effect of rearing conditions on feeding response and enzyme activities in the silkworm was investigated. The results were summarized as follows. 1. Seven species out of 49, Vigna sinensis ENDL, Ipomoea vatatas Lamarck, Cyperus anuricus Var. Laxus, Alnus japonica Stendel, Trifolium repens L, Prunus serrulata Lindley. Var, Glycine max L increased feeding response, compared with the basic formula of artificial diet. 2. The economic values of Vigna sinensis ENDL, Ipomoea vatatas Lamarck, Cyperus anuricus Var. Laxus, Ainus japonica Stendel, Cassia tera L, Erigeron canedensis L as feed-resources for artificiale diet were recognized, through feeding experiment during the entire larval stage. 3. Mulberry cellulose showed the best results in rearing and cocoon characteristics. 4. The extent of feeding response varied according to strains and varieties. Varieties in japanese strains showed higher feeding response than those in chinese and european varieties, with considerable variations among a varieties in strains. 5. The begining of 4th instar seems to be a proper time to convert from mulberry to artificial diet, or artificial diet to mulberry, however the middle of 3rd instar seems acceptable. 6. The optimum temperature for artificial diet rearing is 30$^{\circ}C$ during the period of 1st-3rd instar and 28$^{\circ}C$ for 4th-5th instar. 7. Electrophoretic isozyme patterns of esterase and acid phosphatase on agarose gel, as affected by strain. rearing temperature and feed-resources, were observed as follow. (1) Isozyme patterns of mid-gut esterase varied, depending on instar. One or two more isozyme bands were observed in the larvae than feed on the mulberry fed for the artificial diet. (2) A strain, chinese-15 with a higher feeding response, had 1∼2 more bands than chinese-60 with a lower feeding response. (3) Five bands of mid-gut esterase in 3rd and 4th instar larvae reared at 28$^{\circ}C$. and 4 for 3rd instar and 6∼7 for 4th instar larvae at 35$^{\circ}C$ were observed. (4) No similar esterase bands could be found among mid-gut, blood and silkgland. There are five esterase bands in the midgut, one in blood and three in silkgland. (5) There was rather small digerence in acid phosphatase types of mid-gut and blood according to varieties and rearing temperature. No active band was shown in silkgland. In midgut, there was one acid phosphatase band at 3rd instar, two at 4th instar and three at 5th instar. In blood, one active band at 3rd or 4th instar and three bands at 5th inster wire detected.

Population of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae(Sulz.), were successively selected(up to 20th generation) in the laboratory by the insecticide oxydemeton-methyl (Metasystox-R 25Ec) and the resistance was linearly increased with the selected generations. The population developed 355.5-to 359.9-fold resistance to oxydemeton-methyl at 20th generation-selection. The population showed cross resistance to the insectides cypermethrin(770.1-to 778.5-fold), acephate(25.6-to 33.2-fold) and pirimicarb(3.4-to 3.6-fold). The different esterase isozymes were detected by the electrophoresis from the selected and non-selected strains and the band of the ${\beta}-2$ from the selected strain showed greater esterase activity than that of the non. selected strain.

The fusion between protoplasts of Ganoderma applanatum and oidia of Lyophyllum ulmarium (Hypsizigus marmoreus) was induced with polyethylene glycol and $CaCl_2$. When transferred to Ganoderma complete medium plates, fusants showed mixed morphologies both parents. During three times subcultivation the fusants were changed similar to those of L. ulmarium type. All fusants produced oidia, clamp connections and basidiocarps similar to those of L. ulmarium. Isozyme pattern of esterase of interorder fusants showed both parental and non-parental bands. Each individual fusant did not showed both parental and non-parental bands. Each individual fusant did not show any differences in mycelial growth rate, colony morphology, esterase band pattern and basidiocarp.

To investigate taxonomical relationships of Fusarium species, $esterase-{\alpha},\;-{\beta}$, acid phosphatase, malate dehydrogenase, peroxidase and polygalacturonase were extracted and the isozyme patterns were compared by using polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis. Only polygalacturonase was monozyme and the other enzymes showed little differences in banding patterns. Genetic similarities based on the isozyme banding patterns were as follows: the interspecific similarity between F. subglutinans and F. moniliforme in Liseola showed the closest relationship of 74.3% of all species studies. And the similarity between section Elegans and section Liseola was 45.4%. F. napiforme and F. nygamai showed the similarity of 64.7%, similar to the correlation between species in the same section. The similarity of these two species to Liseola and Elegans showed 55.2% and 45.4%, being revealed that they would be closer to Liseola than Elegans. However, these results were similar to those of any other sections. Therefore it suggested that these 2 species should be in a different section from any other sections. And F. graminearum showed the similarity of 28.2% to the other 6 species.

A study was conducted on the characteristics of 11 strains of Ganoderma sp. to select the strains with more bitterness. Among the flat type strains, ASI 7071 and 7091 showed higher bitterness, while among the branched type strains ASI 7074 and 7094 were found to more bitter than other strains. The growth of ASI 7091 was best on Ganoderma complete media(GCM), while ASI 7010, 7048 and 7075 performed best in oak saw dust media. Among the branched type strains the esterase isozyme band patterns were similar. On the other hand among the flat type strains, the esterase isozyme band patterns differed from each other. Out of 11 strains, ASI 7004 was found to have the heaviest fruiting body, ASI 7071 the thickest cap and ASI 7094 the biggest cap.

Genetic relationship of Calanthe discolor, C. sieboldii, and C. bicolor for elucidating the classification was investigated. Electrophoretic zymograms for either peroxidase or esterase isozymes indicated that bands of C. bicolor appear in the zone where those of C. discolor and C. sieboldii are located. Genetic relationship among the three Calanthe species using RAPD analysis showed that C. discolor and C. sieboldii are more distant each other than C. bicolor, demonstrating the genetic position of C. bicolor between the other two. It was assumed that C. bicolor is a natural hybrid between C. discolor and C. sieboldii.

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the difference in the biochemical characteristic of the brown planthoppers of the insecticide risistant, susceptible strains and their hybrid progenies. Activity of the esterase isozyme separated by electrophoresis method was remarkably high in the resistant strain as compared with the susceptible strain. Esterase activity between the insecticide-treated strains and the non-insecticide strains was not degraded in the resistant strain and the $F_1$, but remarkably degraded in the susceptible strain. The increase of esterase activity was associated with the development of resistance, and that was inherited with a dominant gene.

Protoplasts, isolated from leaf of N. tabacum NR-/SR+ and N. glottnosa were electrofused and divided with a plating efficiency of 30∼35% in AAPI 9M medium. Green callus lines were selected in protoplast-derived colonies on MSNO3 selection medium with 1.2mg/ml streptomycin sulfate on the basis of nitrate reductase proficiency and streptomycin resistance. Four putative hybrid plant lines regenerated from the green callus lines had intermediate morphology between that of parents with respect to floral shape, corolla length and ovate leaf blade. Zymograms of leaf peroxidase and esterase from these putative hybrid plant lines showed isozyme profiles derived from both parents and also, they exhibited additional and lost bands. Cytological analysis of two putative hybrid plant lines gave chromosome counts of 2n=66 in L22 and 2n=54 in L44 which were less than the expected number of N. tabacum(2n=48) and N. glutinosa(2n=24).
