When cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L NAA alone or 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/L BA, immature zygotic embryos of Stewartia koreana formed embryogenic calli and somatic embryos. In investigate effect of sucrose concentration on somatic embryo development, embryogenic calli were transferred to MS basal medium containing 1.5,3, 6 or 9% sucrose. The greatest frequency of somatic embryos was obtained on medium containing 6% sucrose. However addition of 1.5 or 9% sucrose to medium inhibited somatic embryo germination and development into normal plantlet After 5 weeks of hardening culture on medium containing 6% sucrose, somatic embryos were transferred to half strangth MS medium supplemented with 0.1% charcol, wherein these embryo developed into the normal plantlets.

This paper, described on the maneuverabilities of M.S. Cheju 402, the stern trawler (159 G.T.), training ship of Cheju National University which carried out the turning circle tests at helm angle 35$^{\circ}$ and 10$^{\circ}$, 20$^{\circ}$, 30$^{\circ}$Ztests of her. The results obtained were as follows; 1. The advances of the starboard and port turning circles were 79.1m, about 2.6 times of the length of the ship, and 81.4m, about 2.7 times of it, respectively. 2. The rates of speed reduction were about 0.49 together, and mean values of turning angular velocity of her at helm angle 35$^{\circ}$ into the starboard and port sides were 4.3$^{\circ}$/sec and 4$^{\circ}$/sec during the turning movement. 3. Overshoot angles of starboard side werelarger than those of port side at all Z tests, and mean values of them of the starboard and port sides at 10$^{\circ}$, 20$^{\circ}$, 30$^{\circ}$Z tests were 110.5$^{\circ}$ 20.5$^{\circ}$, 28.5$^{\circ}$ respectively. 4. The maneuvering indices K and T of experimental ship at 10$^{\circ}$, 20$^{\circ}$, 30$^{\circ}$, Z tests were 0.755 and 3.468, 0.566, and 1.621, and 0.481 and 1.547 respectively. Consequently, the experimental ship showed that her turning ability was more in effective as the helm angle was becomed larger and her obeying ability was more effective as it was becomed larger.

Microspores were isolated from pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) anthers by using a micro-blender and cultured in modified NLN medium at $25^{\circ}C$. The influence of pretreatment period at $32^{\circ}C$, adding the 2-hydroxynicotinic acid to a pretreatment medium, and co-pretreatment anthers with microscopes on the induction of embryo were examined. Globular and torpedo embryos were observed from 3 weeks after culture. Embryo development was not synchronized within culture. After 4 weeks in culture, in addition to globular and torpedo embryos, cotyledonary embryos were observed. Normal cotylodonary embryos developed into plantlets when transferred to a solid hormone free B5 medium containing $2\%$ sucrose. Embryo yields were significantly higher after 1- and 2-day pretreatment at $32^{\circ}C$. However the development of embryo ceased at the globular or heart stage. In contrast, embryo yields were lower after 3- to 6-day pretreatment at $32^{\circ}C$ and embryo developed at the cotyledonary stage. After adding the 2-hydroxynicotinic acid to anther pretreatment solution, embryo yields were slightly increased. However most embryos occurred were at the globular or heart stage. Co-pretreatment of microspores with anthers was deleterious for embryo induction and development. AS far as we know, this is the first report of success in obtaining high frequency of embryogenesis and plantlets formation from isolated microspores of pepper. Although the culture conditions have to be optimized further, this promising microspore culture system can be used for genetic transformation, selection for dominant and recessive traits as well as for the production of homozygous doubled haploid plants.

This study was performed to identify the association between the metabolic syndrome and the biochemical measurements and nutrient intakes. A total of 1,431 people (533 males, 898 females) aged over 45 years living in Andong rural area participated in this study in 2003. Plasma aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), $\gamma$-glutamyl transferase ($\gamma$-GT) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels in metabolic syndrome were significantly higher than those in normal group. In multiple logistic regression, those biochemical measurements were found to be positively associated with the metabolic syndrome as the adjusted odds ratios (OR) 1.839 (p<0.001) by AST, 2.302 (p<0.01) by ALT, 2.143 (p<0.001) by $\gamma$-GT, and 1.874 (p<0.001) by TBARS. We also found that the increased level of those measurements tended to be strongly associated with high triglyceride among the metabolic syndrome components. However, the nutrient intakes between the metabolic syndrome and the normal group were not significantly different. Also, we could not find any nutrient intakes significantly associated with the metabolic syndrome, except high carbohydrate intake (>70% of kcal) compared to normal intake (55~70% of kcal) showed OR 0.781 (p<0.05). In analyzing the association of nutrient intakes with metabolic syndrome components, we found that the calorie intake was negatively associated with abdominal obesity (OR 0.696, p<0.05) and high fat intake (>25% of kcal) was positively associated with low HDL-cholesterol (OR 1.864, p<0.05). This study revealed that the biochemical measurements, such as plasma AST, ALT, $\gamma$-GT, and TBARS, are associated with metabolic syndrome, but considering the nutrient intakes, we suggest that further studies are needed to identify the associations.

This study was conducted to obtain quantitative data on the behavior of surface-applied urea to a paddy field which would help to protect against environmental pollution as well as to increase the efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer. The percolating water samples were collected with porous ceramic cups installed at 25, 50 and 75cm depths in a paddy field during the rice growing season(June 1992-September 1992) and analyzed for urea-N. NHAN and $NO_3-N$. In the paddy field to which urea fertilizer was applied at the rates of 12 and 24kg N/10a, the surface-applied urea was detected even at 75cm depth as the form of urea-N upto 12days after application. The maximum concentrations of urea-N in the percolating water sampled at 25, 50 and 75cm depths were the same irrespective of soil depth and the values were 0.06 and $0.12{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ for the application rates of 12 and 24kg N/10a respectively. The concentrations of $NH_4-N$ gradually decreased with time during the vegetative growth period : thereafter. the concentrations remained nearly constant. The maximum concentrations of $NH_4-N$ at 25cm depth were 1.2 and $5.6{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ for 12 and 24kg N/10a rate respectively. The $NO_3-N$ concentrations of percolating water ranged 0.1~0.5 and $0.2{\sim}0.5{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ for urea application rates of 12 and 24kg N/10a respectively. The nitrate concentration data suggest that nitrification process occurred continuously in paddy field during the rice growing season.

Two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae was collected from the rose greenhouse in Chilgok, Gyeongbuk Province in December 2000. This population has been selected for ten years with bifenazate (over 450 times), and increased 855.9 fold in resistance as compared with susceptible strain (S). Cross resistance of bifenazate resistant (BR) strain to eight miticides was investigated. The BR strain exhibited high and low cross resistance to acequinocyl (614.0 fold) and to chlorfenapyr (9.1 fold), respectively. Against fenazaquin (0.3 fold) and fenpyroximate (0.1 fold), however, showed the strain negatively correlated cross resistance. Each strain collected in Choeng-ju (CJ), Kang-jin (KJ), and Chung-ju (CUJ) showed 5.5-, 964.5-, and 21.8-fold resistance to bifenazate, respectively. The detoxifying enzymes of the BR strain showed 1.6-fold activity in cytochrome $P_{450}$-dependent monooxygenase ($P_{450}$) as compared with susceptible one. By comparing the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) sequence, G126S point mutation was detected in the BR and KJ strains.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics and microbiology of the simple preprocessed food julienne white radish and pear during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and fordevelopment of a standard recipe. Total aerobic bacteria level were $3.20{\pm}0.08$ log CFU/g in julienne white radish and pear, and $3.00{\pm}0.14$ log CFU/g in julienne white radish (control). Coliform counts were $3.20{\pm}0.08$ log CFU/g in julienne white radish and pear and $1.84{\pm}0.17$ log CFU/g in julienne white radish. Low levels of coliform and total aerobic bacteria were detected. pH values of julienne white radish and pear increased significantly after 3days, whereas that of control increased significantly after 1day. Lightness and redness decreased during storage, whereas yellowness increased significantly during storage. During storage, hardness of julienne white radish and pear decreased after 3days, whereas that of julienne white radish decreased after 5days. According to sensory evaluation, 70% julienne white radish and 30% julienne pear showed higher score in term of taste, harmony of ingredient, harmony of sauce and overall preference. Consequently, 70% julienne white radish and 30% julienne pear was determined to the best formula and a maximum storage period of 3 days was showned to be optimal.

Somatic embryos were induced directly from cotyledon explants of Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 2,4-D, BAP, kinetin or lacking growth regulators. When somatic embryos formed on all media grew to cotyledonary stage, the further development of embryos was ceased and remained in white color. By gibberellic acid (over 1.0 mg/1 $GA_3$) treatment, all the somatic embryos turned rapidly to green and germinated within 3 weeks. Chilling treatment also induced the germination of somatic embryos. The effective temperature regime was $-2^{\circ}C$ for over 8 weeks but more higher temperature than $0^{\circ}C$ did not effective for germination of somatic embryos. Ultrastructural observation revealed that the cotyledon cells of somatic embryos without chilling or $GA_3$ treatment contained numerous lipid reserves, dense cytoplasm, proplastids and non-activated mitochondria with poorly differentiated internal structure, but the cotyledon cells of germinating somatic embryos after chilling or $GA_3$ treatment highly vacuolated and contained well-developed chloroplasts and active state of mitochondria enclosing numerous cristae. The above results indicate that in vitro developed somatic embryos of Panax ginseng may be dormant after mature similar to zygotic embryos.

Basic informations for direct somatic embryo formation in Rehmannja glutinosa Lib. were obtained in 500ml erlenmyer flask. The ratio of ammonium to nitrate nitrogen of 825(mg/l) : 1900(mg/l) was proper condition for somatic embryo formation from stem and petiole explants and 3% sucrose was the most effective carbon source. Full strength MS medium with 2mg/l BA was better than LS medium for somatic embryogenesis. The initial pH 5.7 of medium(full strength MS with 2.0mg/l BA and 0.1mg/l NAA) was good for embryo production. Potassium ion was taken up rapidly within 2 weeks. while $Ca^{++}$ and $Mg^{++}$ ion contents were almost constant during culture period. Sucrose hydrolysis occurred throughout the culture, while glucose and fructose were absorbed simultaneously from the third week of culture.
