Effect of mannose on auxin-induced ethylene production in corn (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles was studied. Auxin induced ethylene production decreased in proportion to mannose concentrations. The inhibitory effect of mannose appeared after 2 h of incubation. Ethylene production was significantly depressed by mannose at high concentration (10-5M-10-4M) of indole acetic acid (IAA), but not at low concentrations (10-8M-10-6M). The inhibition of auxin-induced ethylene production by mannose was specific, since other sugars such as galactose, glucose, sucrose and mannitol did not have an inhibitory effect. In an effort to elucidate mechanisms of mannose the effect on the auxin induced ethylene production, effect of the sugar on ACC synthase activity and ACC induced ethylene production was studied. Mannose failed to inhibit ACC mediated ethylene production, but decreased both the ACC content and ACC synthase activity in the tissue. These results suggest that the inhibitory effect of mannose on auxin induced ethylene production results from suppression of auxin induction of ACC synthase.

The gel polymer electrolyte was prepared by radical polymerization using tetra(ethylene glycol) diacrylate and tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate to investigate affect of the number of ethylene oxide. The gel polymer electrolyte showed good electrochemical stability up to 4.5 V vs. Li/Li and high ionic conductivity at various temperatures. The lithium-ion polymer batteries with the gel polymer electrolyte, tetra(ethylene glycol) diacrylate- and tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate-based, also represented good electrochemical performances such as rate capability, low-temperature performances and cycleability. However, the cell with tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate, which has three ethylene oxide, showed better electrochemical performance.

The present studies were undertaken in attempt to investigate the therapeutic effect of ethanol in dogs intoxicated with ethylene glycol Three dogs treated with ethylene glycol and other three dogs with ethylene glycol plus 20% ethanol orally were examined on clinical signs, endoscopic views, histopathological findings, and autopsy findings respectively. The results obtained were summarized as fellows : 1. The clinical sings and their severity of dogs intoxicated with ethylene glycol were time related and progressed from vomiting, depression, thirsty, tachycardia, tachypnea, convulsiot ataxia, melena, uremia and coma, but clinical signs of dogs treated with ethylene glycol and ethanol simultaneously only stowed vomiting and thirsty. 2. In the gastroscopic view, the dogs intoxicated with ethyelne glycol showed edematous, hyperemia, errosive and ulcerative lesions in the fundus and body area but the dogs treated with ethylene glycol and ethanol simultanously showed edematous and hyperemic lesions. 3. Oral treatment of ethanol with ethylene glycol simultaneously have reduced the signs of EG intoxications in dogs.

The effect of Ca2+ on auxin-induced ehtylene production in etiolated mungbean (Vigna radiata W.) hypocotyls was studied. Auxin-induced ethylene production by mungbean seedlings which had been germinated in the presence of 5-10mM Ca2+ (High Ca2+ ; HC) is greater than that by seedlings which had been germinated in distilled water (Low Ca2+ ; LC). The effect of Ca2+ on auxin-induced ethylene production was greatly increased after 12hr of incubation period. The stimulation of auxin-induced ethylene production by Ca2+ was specific, since divalent cations, such as Mg2+ and Mn2+ did not enhance auxin-induced ethylene production. Calcium also promoted ethylene evoluation induced by methionine and 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid(ACC). The effect of Ca2+ on auxin-induced ethylene production was not caused by increase in free IAA or ACC contents of hypocotyl tissue. Dimethyl sulfoxide and Triton X-100, that disrupts the emembranes, inhibited ethylene production to a greater extent in LC segments than in HC segments. Addition of Ca2+ to the incubation medium for LC segments resulted in enchancement of ethylene production probalby because the membrane integrity is supported under these conditions. Comparison of activity of Ethylene Forming Enzyme(EFE) in LC and HC hypocotyl segments indicated that the enzyme activity of HC was about 2 times higher than that of L.C. It is suggested that Ca2+ increases the activity of plasma membrane-bound EFE through its stabilizing effect onn the membrane, which in turn brings about promotion of ethylene production.

Effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on ethylene production in tomato(Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) hypocotyl segments and fruits were studied. Ethylene production in tomato hypocotyl segments was inhibited by the increasing concentratons of MeJA, and 450 $\mu$M of MeJA showed 50% inhibitory effect. Time course data indicate that this inhibitory effect of MeJA appeared after 3 h of incubation period and continued until 24 h. Inhibition of ethylene producton by MeJA was due to the decrease in 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid(ACC) synthase activity. However, MeJA treatment had no effect on ACC oxidase activity and the accumulaton of ACC oxidase mRNAs. MeJA also inhibited auxin-induced ethylene production by decreasing in ACC synthase activity. In contrast, MeJA stimulated ethylene production in tomato fruits. When 30 $\mu$L/mL MeJA was treated in a gaseous state, ethylene production doubled and this stimulating effect continued until 4 days. To investigate the mechanisms of MeJA on ethylene production, ACC synthase and ACC oxidase activities were examined after MeJA treatment. MeJA increased the activities of both ACC synthase and ACC oxidase, and induced ACC oxidase mRNA accumulation. These data suggest that MeJA plays distinct roles in the ethylene production in different tomato tissues. It is possible that MeJA affects differently the mechanisms of signal transuction leading to the ethylene biosynthesis.

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), as high-temperature fuel cells, have various advantages. In some merits of SOFCs, high temperature operation can lead to the capability for internal reforming, providing fuel flexibility. SOFCs can directly use CH4 and CO as fuels with sufficient steam feeds. However, hydrocarbons heavier than CH4, such as ethylene, ethane, and propane, induce carbon deposition on the Ni-based anodes of SOFCs. In the case of the ethylene steam reforming reaction on a Ni-based catalyst, the rate of carbon deposition is faster than among other hydrocarbons, even aromatics. In the reformates of heavy hydrocarbons (diesel, gasoline, kerosene and JP-8), the concentration of ethylene is usually higher than other low hydrocarbons such as methane, propane and butane. It is importatnt that ethylene in the reformate is removed for stlable operation of SOFCs. A new methodology, termed post-reforming was introduced for removing low hydrocarbons from the reformate gas stream. In this work, activity tests of some post-reforming catalysts, such as CGO-Ru, CGO-Ni, and CGO-Pt, are investigated. CGO-Pt catalyst is not good for removing ethylene due to low conversion of ethylene and low selectivity of ethylene dehydrogenation. The other hand, CGO-Ru and CGO-Ni catalysts show good ethylene conversion, and CGO-Ni catalyst shows the best reaction selectivity of ethylene dehydrogenation.

The physiological effects of oligogalacturonic acid (OGA:D. P. 6-7), a product of acid hydrolysis of polygalacturonic acid (PGA), on ethylene biosynthesis in mung bean (Vigna radiata W.) hypocotyl segments was studied. Among PGA, OGA and monogalacturomic acid (MGA), only OGA stimulated ethylene production in mung bean hypocotyl segments, and the most effective concentraton of OGA was 50$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL. Time course data indicated that this stimulatiion effect of OGA appeared after 90 min incubation period and continued until 24 h. When indol-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) were treated with OGA to investigate the mechanism of OGA on ethylene production, they did not show synergistic effects on ethylene production. The stimulation of ethylene production by OGA was due to the increase of in vivo ACC synthase activity, but OGA treatment had no effect of in vivo ACC oxidase activity. The effect of aminoethoxy vinyl glycine (AVG) and Co2+, the inhibitor of ethylene synthesis, was siminished a little by the OGA, but the treatment of Ca2+, known to increase ACC, with OGA did not increase the ethylene production, this effect seems to be specific for Ca2+ because other divalent cation, Mg2+, did not show the inhibition of OGA-indyuced ethylene production. It is possible that the OGA adopts a different signal transduction pathway to the ethylene bioxynthesis.

The gaseous hormone ethylene influences many aspects of plant growth, development, and responses to a variety of stresses. The biosynthesis of ethylene is tightly regulated by various internal and external stimuli, and the primary target of the regulation is the enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase (ACS), which catalyzes the rate-limiting step of ethylene biosynthesis. We have previously demonstrated that the regulation of ethylene biosynthesis is a common feature of most of the phytohormones in etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings via the modulation of the protein stability of ACS. Here, we show that various phytohormones also regulate ethylene biosynthesis from etiolated rice seedlings in a similar manner to those in Arabidopsis. Cytokinin, brassinosteroids, and gibberellic acid increase ethylene biosynthesis without changing the transcript levels of neither OsACS nor ACC oxidases (OsACO), a family of enzymes catalyzing the final step of the ethylene biosynthetic pathway. Likewise, salicylic acid and abscisic acid do not alter the gene expression of OsACS, but both hormones downregulate the transcript levels of a subset of ACO genes, resulting in a decrease in ethylene biosynthesis. In addition, we show that the treatment of the phytohormones results in distinct etiolated seedling phenotypes, some of which resemble ethylene-responsive phenotypes, while others display ethylene-independent morphologies, indicating a complicated hormone crosstalk in rice. Together, our study brings a new insight into crosstalk between ethylene biosynthesis and other phytohormones, and provides evidence that rice ethylene biosynthesis could be regulated by the post-transcriptional regulation of ACS proteins.

옥수수 뿌리에 BL을 처리하면 양성굴중성 반응이 촉진되고, ethylene 생성도 증가한다는 것이 알려져 있다. BL에 의해 유도된 굴중성 반응과 ethylene 생성과의 관계를 조사하였다. ethylene 생성 억제제인 $10^{-4}$ M AVG를 처리하면 ethylene 생성은 90% 이상 억제되었으나, 굴중성 반응은 13% 정도 억제되었다. AVG를 BL과 함께 처리한 뿌리는 ethylene 생성은 약 60% 억제되었으나 굴중성 반응은 대조구 보다 증가하였다. 다른 ethylene 생성 억제제인 cobalt ion을 처리하면 ethylene 생성은 약 10% 정도 억제되었으나 굴중성 반응은 억제되지 않았다. BL과 cobalt ion을 함께 처리한 뿌리는 ethylene 생성이 억제되었으나 굴중성 반응은 증가되었다. 이러한 BL의 효과가 auxin transport와 관계가 있는지 알아보기 위하여 auxin transport inhibitor인 TIBA를 처리하였다. $10^{-5}$ M TIBA와 BL과 TIBA를 함께 처리한 경우(BL+TIBA), ethylene 생성은 각각 96%, 132% 증가하였으나 굴중성 반응은 모두 일어나지 않았다. 또한, BL, TIBA 그리고 IAA를 함께 처리한 뿌리 (BL+TIBA+IAA)는 음성굴중성 반응을 나타냈으나 뿌리 생장은 오히려 증가시켰으며, 이는 수평으로 있는 뿌리에서 IAA가 아랫면으로 transport 되지 못하고 윗면에 축적된 것을 의미한다. 이러한 결과는 BL이 뿌리 내에 존재하는 IAA의 차등분포에 영향을 주어 양성굴중성 반응을 촉진할 가능성을 제시한다.

Poly(ethylene-co-15.3 mole% octene) ($PEO_{15}$) - 1-옥텐 2성분계 혼합물과 $PEO_{15}$와 (에틸렌 + 1-옥텐) 혼합용매로 이루어진 3성분계 혼합물의 상거동을 $160^{\circ}C$와 1,000 bar의 영역까지 측정하였다. $PEO_{15}$ - 에틸렌 - 1-옥텐 혼합물에서 에틸렌의 함량이 증가함에 따라 cloud-point 곡선이 측정되는 압력이 급격하게 높아졌다. 에틸렌 함량이 18 wt% 보다 낮을 경우, $PEO_{15}$ -에틸렌 - 1-옥텐 혼합물에서 bubble-point 곡선과 cloud-point 곡선이 모두 관측되었다. 에틸렌 함량이 증가함에 따라 $PEO_{15}$ - 에틸렌 - 1-옥텐 혼합물에서 bubble-point 곡선이 관측되는 온도범위는 좁아졌으며, $PEO_{15}$ - 에틸렌 - 1-옥텐 혼합물이 단일상으로 존재하는 온도-압력 영역이 현저히 감소하였다. 에틸렌 함량에 따라 단일상 영역이 감소하는 것은 $PEO_{15}$와 (에틸렌 + 1-옥텐) 혼합용매 사이에 작용하는 분산인력이 줄어들기 때문이다. 에틸렌을 36 wt% 보다 적게 함유한 $PEO_{15}$ - 에틸렌 - 1-옥텐 혼합물의 단일상 영역은 온도가 높아짐에 따라 감소하였다. 이와는 대조적으로 에틸렌을 50 wt% 보다 많게 함유한 $PEO_{15}$ - 에틸렌 - 1-옥텐 혼합물의 단일상 영역은 온도가 녹아짐에 따라 증가하였다. $PEO_{15}$ 용해도를 낮추는 혼합용매 사이의 극성인력과 $PEO_{15}$ 용해도를 높이는 혼합용매의 밀도는 온도가 낮아짐에 따라 증가한다. 에틸렌 함량이 50 wt% 보다 많을 경우, 혼합용매들의 극성인력 효과가 밀도 효과보다 커서 온도가 낮아짐에 따라 cloud-point 압력은 증가하였다. 에틸렌 함량이 50 wt% 보다 적을 경우, 혼합용매들의 극성인력 효과가 밀도 효과보다 작아서 온도가 낮아짐에 따라 cloud-point 압력은 감소하였다.
