The present researches were carried out to investigate the peroxidase activity in association with the reactions of the 4 cultivars of rice plant, Nagdong, Jinheung, Nongbaek and Taebaek to Pyricularia oryzae race KJ-I0l and KJ-301. Although the peroxidase activity was increased during the growth of the rice seedlings, the significant difference in the activity was not found among 4 cultivars. After inoculation of the fungus, the peroxidase activity was enhanced in diseased leaves, being considerably higher in the compatible than in the incompatible cultivars. The isozyme bands of peroxidases observed in mycelium of rice blast fungus were not found in the diseased leaves on the gel electrophoresis. The peroxidase activity was not affected by the increased application of nitrogenous fertilizer.

Phlebia sp. MG-60 is the salt-tolerant, white-rot fungus which was isolated from a mangrove forest. This fungus expresses three kinds of manganese peroxidase (MGMnP) isozymes, MGMnP1, MGMnP2 and MGMnP3 in low nitrogen medium (LNM) or LNM containing NaCl. To date, there have been no reports on the biochemical salt-tolerance of these MnP isozymes due to the difficulty of purification. In present study, we established forced expression transformants of these three types of MnP isozymes. In addition, the fact that this fungus hardly produces native MnP in a high-nitrogen medium (HNM) was used to perform isozyme-selective expression and simple purification in HNM. The resulting MGMnPs showed high tolerance for NaCl compared with the MnP of Phanerochaete chrysosporium. It was worth noting that high concentration of NaCl (over 200 mM to 1200 mM) can enhance the activity of MGMnP1. Additionally, MGMnP1 showed relatively high thermo tolerance compared with other isozymes. MGMnPs may have evolved to adapt to chloride-rich environments, mangrove forest.

The intercellular material was extracted from rice leaf tissue. The quantitative tests of protein and soluble carbohydrate, and activity of peroxidase, showed differences between tissue extract and intercellular material. Also electrophoretic patterns of peroxidase and esterase isozymes were not similar between them. It indicated that the intercellular material which was extracted, was not the mixture of cellular materials.

This study was carried out to investigate some morphological characters of fruit bodies of Ganoderma lucidum and to classify the fungus on the bases of the genetic character. Some of the isolates of the fungus which originally have the kidney-shaped fruit bodies produced the antler-shaped fruit bodies on artificial media and the latter characters were inherited. Pattern of the pileus surface and thickness of the pileus of the fruit bodies were also considered to be hereditary. Although morphology of the pileus margin and fruiting mode of the fungus were variable among the isolates, they were greatly influenced by environment conditions. Ganoderma lucidum could be classified into two groups and four strains according to the morphology of the fruit bodies on artificial cultivation media. Electrophoretic patterns of esterase, peroxidase, leucine aminopeptidase(LAP) and proteins of fruit bodies and mycelia of Ganoderma lucidum showed high genetic variation. Isozyme patterns of esterase of the mushroom mycelia were applicable for the classification of strains of the fungus. Patterns of proteins, leucine aminopeptidase and peroxidase did not indicate any genetic relation among the fungus strains.

Eighty-five different cultivars of Brassica rapa, B. juncea, B. nap us, B. carinata, B. oleracea and hexaploid Brassica collected from Bangladesh, Japan, China and Denmark were analyzed by SDS-PAGE for seed and leaf protein variations, using esterase, acid phosphatase and peroxidase isozyme analysis. Ten polymorphic bands were identified from seed protein however no identifiable polymorphic band was found in the leaf protein. Polymorphic markers clearly distinguished the different Brassica species as well as yellow sarson (YS) and brown seeded (BS) cultivars of B. rapa. The $F_1$ cross between YS and brown seeded cultivars showed the existance of all poly-morphic bands of the respective parents. The Bangla-deshi and Japanese cultivars of B. rapa differed in the amount of seed protein. In the case of isozyme analysis, esterase showed the highest number of polymorphic bands (13) followed by acid phosphatase (9) and peroxidase (5). These polymorphic markers were very effec-tive for classification of all the species studied in this experiment. In parentage tests using isozymes, the hybridity of intra-and-interspecific crosses of almost all the seedlings could be identified from their respective cross combinations. Esterase polymorphism showed a clear differentiation between YS and BS types of B. rapa. In addition, two esterase polymorphic markers were iden ified to differentiate some cultivars of B. juncea. Segregation patterns in these two esterase bands showed a simple Mendelian monohybrid ratio of 3:1 in $F_2$, 1:1 in test cross and 1:0 in back cross progenies. No polymorphic band was identified to distinguish different cultivars of the same species by acid phosphatase or peroxidase. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was carried out with seed coat color specific marker of B. juncea. The yellow seeded cultivars produced a strong band at 0.5 kb and weak band 1.2 kb. In the addition of these two specific bands, Japanese yellow-seeded cultivars expressed two more weak bands at 1.0 kb and 1.1 kb. Where the brown seeded cultivars generated a single strong band at 1.1 kb. In segregating population, the yellow seed coat color marker segregated at a ratio 15 (brown) : 1 (yellow), indicating the digenic inheritance pattern of the trait.

The purpose of this experiment was to study one side of germination physiology based on that protein profiles and protease relating to protein metabolism, that peroxidase, catalase, $\alpha$-amylase, $\beta$-amylase, and malate dehydrogenase involved in the carbohydrate metabolism of seed germination. All these experiments were divided into the two groups with and without acetone treatment, and were carried out. The protein bands of each germinating stage between the groups treated with and without acetone showed certain basic pattern in polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis. However, there was a little difference in the number of protein band, optical density, and migration velocity between two groups. The isozyme bands of peroxidase, and catalase between two groups in polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis did not show the numeral difference, but the optical density of certain germinating stage treated with acetone was higher than the group untreated with it and it showed their enzyme activity. The $\alpha$-amylase and $\beta$-amylase activities which involved in starch metabolism of seed germination were higher in the treated group than the other. On one hand, the protease activity of hydrolase occurred in the seeds for germination was also higher, more or less in the treated group than in the other. The isozyme band pattern of malate dehydrogenase in TCA cycle of energy metabolism pathway was very different between two groups growing for 72 hours with and without acetone treatment in cellulose acetate electrophoresis. It indicated that two isozyme bands of malate dehydrogenase was high. Consequently these experimental results mentioned above indicated that acetone treatment before sowing had an effect on dissolving certain complexed lipid substance involved in the seed coats, the activity of carbohydrate hydrolase increased with water absorption which was most comfortable in its germination, dissolved glycerin and fatty acid became certain energy source, and they stimulated the acceleration of respiration metabolism.

In an attempt to clarify the physiological functions of individual isoperoxidases, we have studied enzymatic and immunological properties as well as cellular distribution of isoperoxidases from tobacco callus and Korean radish. The gene expression patterns of isoperoxidases in shoot and non-shoot-forming tobbaco callus were also examined by rabbit reticulocyte lysatein vitro translation system. These results indicate that fraction of translatable poly(A)-isoperoxidase mRNA was increased considerably in shoots. At the present time, at least 6-7 isoperoxidases could be detected from the translation mixture of total cellular RNA, among which only one cell wall localized anodic isoperoxidase (named A3) mRNA was bimorphic mRNA. These data suggest the possible regulation of peroxidase activity during shoot formation by altering the polyadenylation state of mRNA. In case of Korean radish seedlings, poly(A)- peroxidase mRNA were also increased depending upon aging.

To study the effects of metal ions on the activity of anti-oxidase enzymes, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) and isozyme patterns of Brassica juncea have been studied after treating with CD, Cu, Zn, and Al. The activity of SOD after treating with metal ions was higher than that of untreated control. SOD activity in leaves increased by treatment of 50 ppm of Zn and 500 ppm of Al. POD in stems gave highest activity after treating with 500 ppm of Cu. When the activity was compared by plant parts, lowest POD activity was observed in leaves in which protein content was higher than other tissues. When the activity was expressed as percentage of control, SOD activity was increased after treating with metal ions. SOD activity in leaves and roots of metal treated plant was significantly increased under the metal ions stress conditions. In the roots of 50 ppm of Zn treated plant, SOD activity was extremly high. POD activity was inhibited with Cd and Zn treatment in all parts of the plant. However, in leaves and stems, there was marked increase in activity after treating with Cu. The patterns of SOD isozyme after metal treatment show that two bands were stained in all metal ion treated and that no new band appeared. POD isozyme band intensity resulting from the treatment of metal ions was in order of roots > stems > leaves, but there was no significant difference.

Thirty six strains of Pleurotus spp., from world-wide nations, were examined for interspecific isozyme variation. A comparison of isozymes in mycelial extracts of the fungal genus Pleurotus was made by polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing. A total of one hundred and sixty six bands was resolved from six isozymes. A cluster analysis was done based on the zymograms for esterase, glucosephosphate isomerase, leucine aminopeptidase, malate dehydrogenase, peroxidase, and phosphoglucomutase. From the isozyme analysis, esterase showed higher degree of variability, while it was observed less variability for the enzymes such as glucosephosphate isomerase, malate dehydrogenase, and phosphoglucomutase. The species P. ostreatus, whose taxon is controversial, was discriminated from P. pulmonarius, while P. florida was classified as a distinct taxon. The clustering of P. sapidus and P. spodoleucus strains appeared to be more difficult. It was found that some strains were included to another cluster based on electrophoretic banding patterns. These results show that this lack of congruence among data sets may help explain the taxonomic difficulty within the genus Pleurotus. A dendrogram of genetic similarities was presented, and applications of isozyme data to the systematics of these commercially important fungi was discussed.

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.
