This study was conducted to examine in vitro developmental ability of porcine embryos after somatic cell nuclear transfer. The porcine ear fell was cultured in vitro for confluency in serum-starvation condition(TCM-199 + 0.5% FBS) far 3~6 days of cell confluency. The zona pellucida of IVM oocytes were partially drilled using laser system. Single somatic cell was individually transferred into enucleated oocytes. And the reconstructed embryos were electrically fused(single DC 1.9kv/cm, 30$\mu$ sec) with 0.3M mannitol. After electrofusion, embryos were activated(single AC 5v/mm, 5sec) and cultured in HCSU-23 medium containing 10% FBS at 39$^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ in air for 6 to 8 days. The fusion rate of donor cells was 45.6, 36.8 and 46.1% in 3~4, 5~6 days of serum starvation and non serum starvation(N-S), and were 52.7. 53.0 and 51.7% in 1~2. 5~6 and 13~14 passages of donor cell culture, respectively. No significant difference was found in the fusion rate of donor cells by the duration of serum starvation treatment or the number of donor cell passages. By the size of donor cells, however, the fusion rate was significantly higher(P<0.05) for reconstructed embryos derived from 25r $\mu$m $\geq$ site of donor cells (65.3%) than that of 25~30$\mu$ m(42.5%) or 30$\mu$ m(45.5%)$\leq$ cells. The cleavage rate was significantly (P<0.05) higher in 3~4 darts of serum starvation treatment(67.1%) than that in N-S (50.7%) or 5~6 days of starvation(57.1%). The activation rate by the size of donor cells in fused oocytes was 56.5, 68.8 and 58.5%, respectively, and was not significant.

The optimum conditions of electric stimulation for electrofusion of protoplasts of petunia, carrot and soybean, and the effects of calcium, magnesium, protease, trypsin, triton X-100, concanavalin A, dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO), glycerol monooleate and spermine on fusion frequency and/or viability of petunia protoplast were investigated. The optimum frequencies(Hz)-amplitudes(V/cm) of AC Pulse for protoplast pearl-chain formation were 10 kHz-20 V/cm and 1 MHz-60 V/cm for petunia, 100 kHz-40 V/cm and $1\;MHz-40{\sim}60\;V/cm$ for carrot, and $1\;MHz-40{\sim}80\;V/cm$ for soybean, respectively. The optimum condition of DC pulse treatment at the 1 MHz-60 V/cm-15sec treatment of AC for electrofusion of petunia protoplasts was 2.5 kV/cm-40 sec, and under this condition the fusion frequency and viability of protoplasts were 45 % and 10 %, respectively, Both of the protoplasts of carrot and soybean were not fused under the AC and DC conditions tested in this experiment. The electrofusion of petunia protoplasts was stimulated by calcium, and the fusion frequency and the viability of the protoplasts were 43 % and 11 % , respectively at the calcium concentration of 140 mM. Although fusion frequency was not affected by magnesium only, magnesium stimulated fusion frequency in the presence of calcium, and the viability and fusion frequency of petunia protoplasts were 45 % and 13 %, respectively, at 140 mM of magnesium-140 mM of calcium. The relative fusion frequencies of petunia protoplasts to the controls were increased by 2.4, 2.1, 1.6, 1.4, 1.8, 1.5 and 2.2 folds, respectively, by the treatments of protease, trypsin, triton X-100, concanavalin A, DMSO, glycerol monooleate, and spermine. The viabilities of petunia protoplasts were decreased by these substances.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of oocyte maturation period, phytohemagglutinin-P (PHA-P) treatment and activation agent on the enucleation, fusion, activation or in vitro development of bovine nuclear transfer embryos. Bovine oocytes were enucleated at 16∼24 h of in vitro maturation (IVM). Adult ear skin cells treated or non-treated with PHA-P were transferred into enucleated oocytes. Reconstituted oocytes treated or non-treated with PHA-P were fused by a pulse of 1.5 kV/cm for 30 $\mu$sec. Fused oocytes were activated with a combination of calcium ionophore (A23187) and cycloheximide (CHXM) or dimethylaminopurine (DMAP), and cultured in vitro for 7∼9 days. Enucleation rate was significantly increased when oocytes were matured for 16∼18 h (70.2∼92.3%, P<0.05) compared to that of oocytes were matured for 20∼24 h (44.3∼53.4%). The location of metaphase-II plate was far off from the 1st polar body as maturation time was increased. PHA-P treatment of donor cells or reconstituted oocytes significantly improved fusion rate (P<0.05). Cleavage and blastocyst formation rates were significantly increased after activation with a combination of A23187 and DMAP (78.6% and 32.9%, respectively) compared to those of embryos activated with a combination of A23l87 and CHXM (48.5 and 15.2%, respectively). From the present result, it is suggested that high enucleation efficiency can obtained by using oocytes matured for 18 h. It also shows that PHA-P treatment can improve the fusion rate, and activation with a combination of A23187 and DMAP can enhance the embryo development.

The optical characteristics of high-power direct-lit white light-emitting diode (LED) lighting were investigated, where a quantum dot (QD) film was adopted to enhance the color-rendering index (CRI). The transmittance of the diffuser plate and the concentration of the QD film were varied in this study. The color coordinates and the correlated color temperature (CCT) did not show any appreciable change, while the CRI values increased slightly as the transmittance of the diffuser plate decreased. The investigated optical properties were nearly independent of the viewing angle, and the luminance distribution was close to Lambertian. The CCT decreased from approximately 6000 K to approximately 4000 K as the concentration of the QD film increased from 0 to 7.5 wt%, which was due to the enhanced red component in the emission spectrum. The CRI increased to approximately 95 for some optical configurations of the lighting. These results demonstrate that glare-free, color-changeable, high-rendering LED lighting can be realized by using a combination of a diffuser plate of appropriate transmittance and a red QD film.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of electric stimulation conditions on in vitro developmental ability of caprine embryos after somatic cell nuclear transfer. Recipient oocytes were surgically collected after superovulation by using CIDR and FSH, PMSG, hCG and estrous synchronization in Korean native goats. The caprine ear cells were cultured in vitro in serum-starvation condition (TCM-l99 + 0.5% FBS) for 3 to 5 days of cell confluence. The zona pellucida of in vivo and in vitro matured oocytes were partially drilled using laser system. Single somatic cell was individually transferred into the enucleated oocyte. The reconstructed oocytes were electrically fused with 0.3M mannitol. After the electofusion, embryos were activated by electric stimulation or Ionomycin + 6-DMAP. Nuclear transfer embryos were cultured in mSOF medium supplemented with 0.8% BSA 6∼7 days at 39 , 5% $CO_2$, 5% $O_2$, 90% $N_2$. The fusion rate of donor cells was 60.4% and 40.3 % in ear cell and fetal fibroblast, and cleavage rate were 40.6% and 48.2%, respectively. No significant difference was found in the fusion and cleavage rate in different donor cells. Nuclear transferred oocytes were fused by electric pulses of 1.30∼1.40, 2.30∼2.39 and 2.40∼2.46 ㎸/cm. There was no significant difference among different electric pulses in fusion rates (26.7, 34.8 and 43.8%). The cleavage rate was higher (p<0.05) in 1.30∼1.40 ㎸/cm (82.9%) than 2.30∼2.39 ㎸/cm (43.8%) and 2.40∼2.46 ㎸/cm. (51.8%). The fusion rates of recipient oocyte source were 1st (43.5% and 23.6%), 2nd (55.7％ and 39.2%) and 3rd (66.1% and 52.8%) in in vivo and in vitro oocytes. However, fusion ratee were significantly higher (p<0.05) in in vivo than in vitro oocyte. The cleavage rate of fused oocytes from in vivo and in vitro sources were 52.6% and 54.4%, respectively. No significant difference was found in the cleavage rate according to the recipient oocyte source. These results suggest that factors such as field pulse of electric stimulation and oocyte source could affect in vitro developmental ability of nuclear transplanted caprine oocytes.

Spheroplast cell fusions were performed with Flavimonas oryzihabitans degrading aniline and Pseudomonas sp. degrading 4-chlorobiphenyl to develope the new fusant degrading aniline and 4-CBP and its characters were investigated. F. oryzihabitans was induced to antibiotic marker ($Cm^r$ by NTG treatment for the fusants selection. The results of spheroplast formation and regeneration frequencies of the strains treated with lysozyme-EDTA were 99% and 5.0~6.6%, respectively. Fusion products were treated with 40% (v/v) PEG 6000 and fusion frequency was $3.16{\times}10^{-4} $. The DNA content of fusant, F22 was approximately 2-fold compared with parents. The fusant was stable, and showed the mixed biochemical characteristics of the parent strains. F22 was similar to parent for cell growth pattern and degrading capacity on 5 mM aniline but cell growth rate of F22 was 1.5-fold higher than that of the parent on 10mM aniline. However 4-CBP degrading ability of F22 was slightly lower than that of parental strain.
