This study was performed to find out the optimal larval stage among trochophore, D-shaped and umbo stage larvae and the desirable protective additive such as fructose, glucose, sucrose and trehalose with cryoprotectant for cryopreservation of surf clam, Spisula sachalinensis larvae. Dimethyl sulfoxide and ethylene glycol were used as cryoprotectant and each cryoprotectant was made to 2.0 M with previous protective additives. The larvae were immersed in the preparations waited for 15 minutes to reach equilibration, and then frozen in a program freezer (-35$^{\circ}C$) and liquid nitrogen (-196$^{\circ}C$). The freezing rate of 1.0$^{\circ}C$ /min. was used for cryopreservation of trochophores before seeding temperature (-12$^{\circ}C$). The survival rate of frozen-thawed larvae increased as larval developing and that of umbo stage larvae was the highest as 96.1 ${\pm}$ 1.0%. The presence of lower concentration of disaccharides as sucrose or trehalose significantly enhanced survival rate when mixed with cryoprotectants (P<0.05). The results of our study indicate that desirable developmental stages of larvae and protective additive for cryopreservation are the umbo stage larvae and 0.2 M sucrose, respectively.

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) utilizes two different cell-cycle modes, binucleations during the L1 larval stage and endoreduplications at four larval moltings, for its postembryonic intestinal development. Previous genetic studies indicated that CDC-25.2 is specifically required for binucleations at the L1 larval stage and is repressed before endoreduplications. Furthermore, LIN-23, the C. elegans ${\beta}$-TrCP ortholog, appears to function as a repressor of CDC-25.2 to prevent excess intestinal divisions. We previously reported that intestinal hyperplasia in lin-23(e1883) mutants was effectively suppressed by the RNAi depletion of cdc-25.2. Nevertheless, LIN-23 targeting CDC-25.2 for ubiquitination as a component of E3 ubiquitin ligase has not yet been tested. In this study, LIN-23 is shown to be the major E3 ubiquitin ligase component, recognizing CDC-25.2 to repress their activities for proper transition of cell-cycle modes during the C. elegans postembryonic intestinal development. In addition, for the first time that LIN-23 physically interacts with both CDC-25.1 and CDC-25.2 and facilitates ubiquitination for timely regulation of their activities during the intestinal development.

배추흰나비의 변태에 따른 esterase의 활성변화 및 zymogram pattern의 변화를 조사하였으며 5령말 유충으로부터 3개의 esterase를 순수 분리하였다. Esterase의 활성은 5령초에서 5령말에 이르는 동안 급격히 증가하여 5령말에서 최대의 활성이 나타났으며 전기영동의 결과 whole body와 중장내 esterase band의 수나 강도는 5령말에서 최대로 나타났다. Gel filtration과 ion-exchange chromatography 및 preparative electorphoresis를 통해 정제된 각 esterase의 최종순도는 약 30-60배였다.

Intake of caffeine during pregnancy can cause retardation of fetal development. Although the significant influence of caffeine on animal development is widely recognized, much remains unknown about its mode of action because of its pleiotropic effects on living organisms. In the present study, by using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism, the effects of caffeine on development were examined. Brood size, embryonic lethality, and percent larval development were investigated, and caffeine was found to inhibit the development of C. elegans at most of the stages in a dosage-dependent fashion. Upon treatment with 30 mM caffeine, the majority ($86.1{\pm}3.4%$) of the L1 larvae were irreversibly arrested without further development. In contrast, many of the late-stage larvae survived and grew to adults when exposed to the same 30 mM caffeine. These results suggest that early-stage larvae are more susceptible to caffeine than later-stage larvae. To understand the metabolic responses to caffeine treatment, the levels of expression of cytochrome P450 (cyp) genes were examined with or without caffeine treatment using comparative microarray, and it was found that the expression of 24 cyp genes was increased by more than 2-fold (p < 0.05). Among them, induction of the cyp-35A gene family was the most prominent. Interestingly, depletion of the cyp-35A family genes one-by-one or in combination through RNA interference resulted in partial rescue from early larval developmental arrest caused by caffeine treatment, suggesting that the high-level induction of cyp-35A family genes can be fatal to the development of early-stage larvae.

Comparisons are made with the known larvae of other species of the pilumnid genera, and the provisional key is provided for the pilumnid zoeae. The brachyuran genera Heteropanope, Heteropilumnus, Actumnus, Pilumonopeus, Pilumnus, Parapilumnus, and Benthopanpe are clearly classified on the basis of the zoeal characteristics, such as the lateral carapace spine, dorsal carapace spine, maxillule, and abominal lateral knobs.

The larval stage of Ceraclea labulata (Martynov) is described for the first time. The larva can be distinguished from other known larvae of Korean Ceraclea by the absence of head marking and by the shape of frontoclypeus, which is equal in anterior and posterior width. The larval case is also described. Line-drawings of key characters and discussion on Korean Ceraclea are provided.

The fat bodies of cabbage worm (Pieris rapae) and silk worm (Bomyx mori) during metamorphosis was comparatively studied by electron microscope. 1. Cell oranelles: Golgi apparatus were not observed in both species. It is observed that RER of cabbage worms initiate to degenerate in prepupa stage with complete degeneration at adult stage, while that of silk worms shows similar degenerative pattern. However, mitochondria of cabbage worms are transformed into autophagic vacuole from prepupa stage until adult stage whereas those of silk worm shows a decrease in number in prepupa stage but maintains a certain level until adult stage. 2. Storage substance in cell: Lipid droplets in cabbage worms were observed to increase in numbers during larval stage but afterward decrease in number with an enlargement in size. However immediately after their pupal stage, they almost disappear. On the contrary lipid droplets in silk worms show rather increase in number until adult stage. Protein storage granules in bothspecies were arised from autophagic vacuoles(lysosome) . Fat cells of cabbage worm in adult stage turn out to be residual bodies which last until final stage, but those of silk worm rapidly decrease. Glycogen particles in both species reach maximum at last larval instar and thee gradually decrease thereafter. 3. Fat body sheath: The average width of fat body sheath was measured to be $0.2{\mu}m$ and $0.6{\mu}m$ and surface of fat cells adjacent to fat body sheath in silk worm is heavily infolded.

The effects of acute acid stress on hatching success and hatching period of laboratory-reared hermaphroditic fish Rivulus marmoratus were examined. The effects of acute acid toxicity on mortality was also determined in three life stages of this fish. There was a significant negative effect of acid stress on hatching performance in the R. marmoratus embryos. The hatching success was only 5% at pH 3.5 compared to over 78% at pH higher than 4.0. The hatching period was also delayed by low pH treatments. The larval and juvenile stages were more sensitive to acid toxicity on mortality than the adult stage, but larvae and juveniles showed similar sensitivity. The 96-h LC50 value was pH 3.8 in larval and juvenile stages and pH 3.3 in adult stage.
