The extractability and stability of ginkgoflavonolglycosides under presence of several cellulose preparations were investigated. The enzymes used were macerosin, cellulose C and cellulase NC. The content variation of the glycosides was measured with HPLC method, using caffeic acid as an internal standard. The methanol extract of ginkgo leaf, containing the total flavonolglycosides of 4.46%, was used for the content comparison. By extraction with the enzymes, each or mixed, the peak levels of all the glycosides began to decrease after 1 or 2 hours. After 24 hour extraction, most of the glycosides were degraded to minor components. The flavonolglycosides in ginkgo leaf were also hydrolysed simply by the water extraction. After 24 hour extraction with water at $40^{\circ}C$, the peak levels of major glycosides were distinctly decreased. Rutin was hydrolysed by enzyme treatment or by ginkgo leaf itself. As a result, it was concluded that the commercially available cellulases and the ginkgo leaf itself contain the activities of $\beta$-glycosidase and $\alpha$-rhamnosidase. Kaempferol-3-O-(6'"-O-p-coumaroylglucosyl)-rhamnoside and four other ginkgo flavonolglycosides were not hydrolysed under the same condition.tion.

An attempt was made to increase the yield of extraction of ginkgoflavonglycosides from leaves of Ginkgo biloba by treatments of with Cellulase C and macerating enzymes. The yield of dried extract and its contents of ginkgoflavonols, when treated only with cellulase C, were analyzed to be 1. 99% and 0. 38%, respectively. The contents of ginkgoflavonglycosides in the dried extracts were calculated to be 25. 28%. By the treatment with a mixture of three enzymes, cellulase C: cellulase NC and macerosin (1 : 1 : 2), the yield of the dried extract, ginkgoflavonols as well as their glycosides were determined to be 2. 48%, 0. 48% and 24. 16%, respectively.

The insecticidal protein gene in the pKL-20-1 clone derived from Bacillus thuringiensis serovar. kurstaki plasmid was subcloned in the plant shuttle vector, pGA643. The 7.3 kb fragment was cloned in the BglII and Hpal sites of pGA643 vector and expressed in E. coli S17-1, which produced insecticidal proteins killing Bombyx mori larvae. The clone was named pHL-20. The protoplast formation, calli induction and plantlet regeneration of Nicotiana tabacum was carried out. A tremendous number of mesophyll protoplasts of N. tabacum were formed, up to 7$\times$105 protoplast per ml, for 20 hours in darkness in the enzyme solution of 0.5% cellulase and 0.1% macerosin, pH 5.8. The viabilities of the protoplasts were maintained above 80% for 6 days in the media containing 2mg/1 of NAA and 1mg/1 of kinetin. Calli were induced from the protoplasts and leaves of the N. tabacum on MS medium containing 0.5mg/1 BAP. Under the culture conditions the protoplasts underwent repeated cell division into calli. Plantlets were regenerated from callus cultures derived from protoplast and leaves. Shoots were induced in a medium containing 1mg/1 of BAP.
