The effect of auxin transport inhibitor (TIBA and PCIB) or auxin synergist (phloroglucinol) on somatic embryo maturation and germination in Japanese larch (Larix leptolepis) was examined. The addition of 15.8 mg/L ABA+5.0 mg/L PCIB showed most promoted the maturation of cotyledon -staged somatic embryos (177.7/90 mg ESM). In contrast, with treatment of 5.0 mg/L PCIB or 5.0 mg/L TIBA, no somatic embryos were obtained. Considering from this result, PCIB or TIBA alone could not substitute for exogenously supplied ABA for maturation of somatic embryos. In the test of below concentration of 5.0 mg/L PCIB, the highest results were recorded in 15.8 mg/L ABA+2.0 mg/L PCIB (109.3/90 mg ESM) or 15.8 mg/L ABA+5.0 mg/L PCIB (103.7/90 mg ESM). However, 5.0 mg/L phloroglucinol (0/90 mg ESM) or no ABA addition (3/90 mg ESM) had little influence on somatic embryos maturation. In germination study, the highest frequency of plantlet regeneration obtained from the somatic embryos which had matured on 15.8 mg/L ABA+5.0 mg/L PCIB (67.9%). However, either 5.0 mg/L PCIB nor 5.0 mg/L TIBA resulted in obtained from plantlets.

An efficient protocol was established for high frequency somatic embryogenesis through a callus culture of Coelogyne cristata. The best frequency of callusing was obtained from a PLB segment (3-5 mm) cultured on MS medium supplemented with coconut water (CW) and a combination of both 3 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of 2,4-D and BA. When the calli were sub-cultured on the MS medium without any PGRs, the average number of somatic embryos were higher than those with PGRs treatment. NAA is the most critical factor among PGRs, which dramatically hindered for the formation of a somatic embryo. The efficacy of the addition of coconut powder (CP) for somatic embryogenesis was almost the same in all treatments. However, the number of somatic embryos formed distinctly depended on age of the callus. The somatic embryos converted into healthy plants with well-developed shoots on the same medium. Plantlets showed the best responses of root and shoot growth when transferred to $\frac{1}{2}$ MS medium containing 1.5 $g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of activated charcoal. All plants with above 3.0-cm-high were successfully acclimatized in the greenhouse.

The present work aims to study the induction of somatic embryogenesis in cork oak (Quercus suber L.) from immature zygotic embryos and young apical leaves obtained from 2-month-old seedlings through acorn germination on sterilized peat. The immature zygotic embryos were grown for 1 month on the mineral solution of MS in the presence of 4.52 µM 2,4-D and 30 g/L sucrose. They were then transferred to the same mineral solution with no added growth regulators. In the third subculture, yellow somatic embryos, characterized by two voluminous cotyledons, were differentiated from the radicle of the immature zygotic embryos. The induction of somatic embryogenesis in young leaves required a series of transfers on different culture media containing 30 g/L sucrose and 100 mg/L myo-inositol. Secondary or recurrent somatic embryogenesis occurred within the immature somatic embryo radicles after 1 month of culture on growth regulator-free medium containing WPM macronutrients, MS micronutrients, and vitamins.

Spermatogenesis and testis development are highly structured physiological processes responsible for post-pubertal fertility in stallions. Spermatogenesis comprises spermatocytogenesis, meiosis, and spermiogenesis. Although germ cell degeneration is a continuous process, its effects are more pronounced during spermatocytogenesis and meiosis. The productivity and efficiency of spermatogenesis are directly linked to pubertal development, degenerated germ cell populations, aging, nutrition, and season of the year in stallions. The multiplex interplay of germ cells with somatic cells, endocrine and paracrine factors, growth factors, and signaling molecules contributes to the regulation of spermatogenesis. A cell-tocell communication within the testes of these factors is a fundamental requirement of normal spermatogenesis. A noteworthy development has been made recently on discovering the effects of different somatic cells including Leydig, Sertoli, and peritubular myoid cells on manipulation the fate of spermatogonial stem cells. In this review, we discuss the self-renewal, differentiation, and apoptotic roles of somatic cells and the relationship between somatic and germ cells during normal spermatogenesis. We also summarize the roles of different growth factors, their paracrine/endocrine/autocrine pathways, and the different cytokines associated with spermatogenesis. Furthermore, we highlight important matters for further studies on the regulation of spermatogenesis. This review presents an insight into the mechanism of spermatogenesis, and helpful in developing better understanding of the functions of somatic cells, particularly in stallions and would offer new research goals for developing curative techniques to address infertility/subfertility in stallions.

배발생 캘러스의 선발은 1.0mg/L 2,4-D를 첨가한 MS 기본배지에서 배양한 당근 유식물의 배축절편으로부터 유도된 캘러스에서 이뤄졌다. 체세포배 발생을 유도하기 위해서 배발생 캘러스로부터 얻어진 세포괴는 2,4-D를 제거한 MS 배지에 옮겼다. 세포괴를 1.0mg/L 2,4-D 첨가배지에서 1주간 그리고 2,4-D 제거 배지에서 2주간 배양한 후에 2자엽배의 발생은 63%에 그쳤고 나머지는 1자엽 5%, 3자엽 21%, 4자엽 6%, 5자엽 5%, 6자엽 0.2% 및 나팔형 자엽 1%의 발생빈도를 나타냈다. 체세포배의 발아율은 다자엽 체세포배에서 보다 2자엽 배에서 높았다. 나팔형 자엽의 체세포배는 경엽부 발생없이 자엽과 뿌리가 다소 신장 확대되는데 그치는 등 정상적으로 발아되지 못했다. 해부학적인 관찰에서 체세포배의 뿌리와 환상 전형성층은 배축의 중간부위에서 분지되기 시작하고 자엽절을 거쳐서 자엽으로 이어지는데 배축에서 전형성층속은 자엽수와 같은 수였다. 1자엽 체세포배는 다자엽 체세포배의 각각의 자엽보다 크고 전형성층과 함께 말굽형 자엽을 가지고 있었다. 따라서 체세포배의 자엽구조는 전형성층 배열상태와 밀접한 관련이 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Callus induction and somatic embryogenesis are fundamental to cotton tissue culture biotechnology. An efficient protocol for callus induction, somatic embryogenesis and their maturation have been developed to regenerate plantlets from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) variety coker 312. Embryogenic callus was initiated from hypo-cotyl region that was used as an explant at seedling stage when it was about 7-8 days old. Callus induction was achieved through culturing hypocotyls (5-7mm) on $MS_{1a} medium supplemented with 2,4-D (0.1 mg/L) and KT (0.5 mg/L) for six weeks. A friable, colorless, bulky and well proliferating callus becomes greenish with the addition of NAA (2.0 mg/L), ZT (0.1 mg/L) and removal of 2,4-D (M $S_{1b}$) cultured for two weeks then again transferred to $MS_{1a}. 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) promoted the proliferation of embryogenic callus, but had a negative effect on the differentiation and germination of somatic embryos. ZT (0.1mg/L) and activated charcoal (2g/L), both hormones play an important role in differentiation and germination of somatic embryos in hypocotyls derived embryogenic callus but in case of cotton, such a capability have been observed on MS medium with 1.92 g/L $KNO_3$, but it is considered to attain somewhat more improvement. High embryogenesis frequency was achieved through nutrient deficient stress treatment. The frequency of globular embryogenesis (two-three folds) was achieved when well proliferating callus was (from $MS_{1a}$ media) cultured on MS (1/5 strength) medium for four weeks. Here the development of anthocyanins is the best indicator for somatic embryogenesis. However, when embryoid callus was cultured on MS (full strength) medium, the globular embryos were developed into normal plantlets immediately. In this procedure 27.49% cotyledenary embryos were developed. Of that 70% cotyledenary embryos were developed not only into normal plantlets but rooted simultaneously, when cultured on MS (with 0.05 mgg/L giberrelic acid) medium. So complete plants could be regenerated through somatic embryogenesis from hypocotyl explants within 6 months.s.

Objectives : The aim of the present study was to examine whether anxiety and depression of children and mothers were associated with the children's medically unexplained somatic symptoms in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder(ADHD). Methods : 83 clinic-referred boys with ADHD and 52 boys without ADHD were included in this study. The frequency of the medically unexplained somatic symptoms, such as general-ache, headache, nausea, eye problems, skin problems, abdominal pain, vomiting was evaluated using the somatic symptom domain of the Child Behavior Checklist(CBCL). Children's anxiety and depression were evaluated using Kovacs Children's Depression Inventory(CDI) and Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) for children. Maternal anxiety and depression were measured by Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) and Beck's Depression Inventory(BDI). Stepwise linear regression analysis was used to examine the hypothesis. Results : Score of maternal state anxiety affects the T score of the somatic symptom domain in CBCL significantly(adjusted $R^2$=0.057 ; p=0.026). Conclusion : The frequency of medically unexplained somatic symptom of children perceived by mothers was associated with the high level of maternal state anxiety in ADHD. Frequent maternal report of the children's somatic symptom may be a warrant for the evaluation and management of the maternal state anxiety in ADHD.

The downregulation of A-type $K^+$ channels ($I_A$ channels) accompanying enhanced somatic excitability can mediate epileptogenic conditions in mammalian central nervous system. As $I_A$ channels are dominantly targeted by dendritic and postsynaptic processings during synaptic plasticity, it is presumable that they may act as cellular linkers between synaptic responses and somatic processings under various excitable conditions. In the present study, we electrophysiologically tested if the downregulation of somatic $I_A$ channels was sensitive to synaptic activities in young hippocampal neurons. In primarily cultured hippocampal neurons (DIV 6~9), the peak of $I_A$ recorded by a whole-cell patch was significantly reduced by high KCl or exogenous glutamate treatment to enhance synaptic activities. However, the pretreatment of MK801 to block synaptic NMDA receptors abolished the glutamate-induced reduction of the $I_A$ peak, indicating the necessity of synaptic activation for the reduction of somatic $I_A$. This was again confirmed by glycine treatment, showing a significant reduction of the somatic $I_A$ peak. Additionally, the gating property of $I_A$ channels was also sensitive to the activation of synaptic NMDA receptors, showing the hyperpolarizing shift in inactivation kinetics. These results suggest that synaptic LTP possibly potentiates somatic excitability via downregulating $I_A$ channels in expression and gating kinetics. The consequential changes of somatic excitability following the activity-dependent modulation of synaptic responses may be a series of processings for neuronal functions to determine outputs in memory mechanisms or pathogenic conditions.
