This study was conducted to investigate the effect of supporting material and ionic strength of the MS medium on growth of strawberry plantlets cultured in vitro for the rapid mass production. Explants of $Fragaria$ $ananassa$ 'Houkouwase' in vitro were planted in the agar or Tosilee (commercial plug medium) medium as the supporting material and supplied with 1/4 MS, 1/2 MS or basal (as the control) MS medium in an autotrophic micropropagation. Plant height and root length were significantly greater when they were cultured in 1/2 MS medium as compared to those grown in the agar medium. Also, shoot fresh and dry weights, and leaf area in the 1/2 MS medium were greater than in 1/4 MS or basal MS medium. When plantlets were cultured in Tosilee medium and fed with the basal MS medium, plant height, root length, shoot fresh and dry weights, root fresh and dry weights, and leaf area were promoted and greater than those in plantlets cultured in the agar medium.

This study was conducted to develop in vitro propagation techniques of new cultivar, 'Greenstar', bred by Highland Agriculture Research Center. The multiple shoot induction and plant growth of in vitro plant were analyzed by MS media concentration (1/2 MS, 1 MS and 2 MS medium), plant growth regulators and its proper concentration; CPPU [Forchlorfenuron(N-(2-chloro-4-pridyl)-3-phenylurea) (0, 0.5, 1.0 and $2.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$), thidiazuron [(TDZ), (0.01, 0.1, 0.5 and $1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$), zeatin (0, 0.5, 1.0 and $2.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$), and BA [6-benzylaminiopurine(BA), (0, 0.5, 1.0 and $2.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$)] in MS (3% sugar and 0.8% agar with pH 5.7) media. The highest number of induced shoots, leaves and roots were shown in 1/2 MS medium concentration. On the 1/2 MS medium, shoot numbers, shoot length, leaf numbers and root numbers were 11.0, 1.9 cm, 24.7, and 8.0, respectively. On the absence of CPPU in the 1/2 MS medium, shoot length and root numbers was greater than CPPU treatment, but the highest number of shoots was induced by the $2.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of CPPU concentration in 1/2MS medium. TDZ, zeatin, and BA treatments were not effective on the induction of multiple shoot in vitro culture. As a result, in vitro culture of new Saxifraga fortunei, 'Greenstar' with $2.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of CPPU in 1/2 MS medium was most effective for the rapid multiplication.

This study was carried out to investigate the optimum composition and concentration of medium for the acclimation of the shoots derived from bioreactor culture of Scrophularia buergeriana. Rooting and growth of the shoots cultured in bioreactor for 4 weeks were better on liquid full strength MS medium while one-tenth of MS medium was good for rooting and growth of the shoots cultured in bioreactor for 6 weeks. Leaf expansion was more effective in the shoots cultured for 6 weeks on solid MS medium than in those cultured for 4 weeks. No leaf expanded in liquid medium. Vitrification rate was higher in full strength solid MS medium than in half strength MS medium. It is concluded that acclimation of the shoots is more effective on the half strength solid MS medium containing 1.2% agar.

Purpose : To present the T1 and T2 relaxation times of the major cerebral metabolites at 1.5T and 3.0T and compare those between 1.5T and 3.0T. Materials and Methods : Using the phantom containing N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), Choline (Cho), and Creatine (Cr) at both 1.5T and 3.0T MRI, the T1 relaxation times were calculated from the spectral data obtained with 5000 ms repetition time (TR), 20 ms echo time (TE), and 11 different mixing time (TM)s using STEAM (STimulated Echo-Acquisition Mode) method. The T2 relaxation times were obtained from the spectral data obtained with 3000 ms TR and 5 different TEs using PRESS (Point-RESolved Spectroscopy) method. The T1 and T2 relaxation times obtained at 1.5T were compared with those of 3.0T. Results : The T1 relaxation times of NAA were $2293\;{\pm}\;48\;ms$ at 1.5T and $2559\;{\pm}\;124\;ms$ at 3.0T (11.6% increase at 3.0T). The T1 relaxation times of Cho were $2540\;{\pm}\;57\;ms$ at 1.5T and $2644\;{\pm}\;76\;ms$ at 3.0T (4.1% increase at 3.0T). The T1 relaxation times of Cr were $2543\;{\pm}\;75\;ms$ at 1.5T and $2665\;{\pm}\;94\;ms$ at 3.0T (4.8% increase). The T2 relaxation times of NAA were $526\;{\pm}\;81\;ms$ at 1.5T and $468\;{\pm}\;74\;ms$ at 3.0T (11.0% decrease at 3.0T). The T2 relaxation times of Cho were $220\;{\pm}\;44ms$ at 1.5T and $182\;{\pm}\;35\;ms$ at 3.0T (17.3% decrease at 3.0T). The T2 relaxation times of Cr were $289\;{\pm}\;47\;ms$ at 1.5T and $275\;{\pm}\;57\;ms$ at 3.0T (4.8% decrease at 3.0T). Conclusion : The T1 relaxation times of the major cerebral metabolites (NAA, Cr, Cho), which were measured at the phantom, were 4.1%-11.6% longer at 3.0T than at 1.5T. The T2 relaxation times of them were 4.8%-17.3% shorter at 3.0T than at 1.5T. To optimize MR spectroscopy at 3.0T, TR should be lengthened and TE should be shortened.

The monomer and dimer structures of the amyloid fragment Aβ(1-16) sequence formed in H₂O were investigated using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem MS (MS/MS). Aβ16 monomers and dimers were indicated by signals representing multiple proton adduct forms, [monomer+zH]ⁿ⁺ (=M^z+, z = charge state) and [dimer+zH]^z+ (=D^z+), in the MS spectrum. Fragment ions of monomers and dimers were observed using collision-induced dissociation MS/MS. Peptide bond dissociation was mostly observed in the D1-D7 and V11-K16 regions of the MS/MS spectra for the monomer (or dimer), regardless of the monomer (or dimer) charge state. Both covalent and non-covalent bond dissociation processes were indicated by the MS/MS results for the dimers. During the non-covalent bond dissociation process, the D³⁺ dimer complex was separated into two components: the M¹⁺ and M²⁺ subunits. During the covalent bond dissociation of the D³⁺ dimer complex, the b and y fragment ions attached to the monomer, (M+b_10-15)^z+ and (M+y_9-15)^z+, were thought to originate from the dissociation of the M²⁺ monomer component of the (M¹⁺+M²⁺) complex. Two different D³⁺ complex geometries exist; two distinguished interaction geometries resulting from interactions between the M¹⁺ monomer and two different regions of M²⁺ (the N-terminus and C-terminus) are proposed. Intricate fragmentation patterns were observed in the MS/MS spectrum of the D⁵⁺ complex. The complicated nature of the MS/MS spectrum is attributable to the coexistence of two D⁵⁺ configurations, (M¹⁺+M⁴⁺) and (M²⁺M³⁺), in the Aβ16 solution.

Single-dimensional (1-D) and two-dimensional (2-D) LC methods were utilized to separate peptides from various sources followed by MS/MS analysis. Two-dimensional ultra-high performance liquid chromatography is a useful tool for proteome analysis, providing a greater peak capacity than 1-D LC. The most popular 2-D LC approach used today for proteomic research combines strong cation exchange and reversed-phase LC. We have evaluated an alternative mode for 2-D LC of peptides using 2-D RP-RP nano UPLC Q-TOF Mass Spectrometry, employing reversed-phase columns in both separation dimensions. As control experiments, we identified 129 proteins in 1-D LC and 322 proteins in 2-D LC from E. coli extract peptides. Furthermore, we applied this method to rat primary hepatocyte and a total of 170 proteins were identified from 1-D LC, and 527 proteins were identified from all 2-D LC system. The in-depth protein profiling established by this 2-D LC MS/MS from rat primary hepatocyte could be a very useful reference for future applications in regards to drug induced liver toxicity.

The comparative analysis of glycerin in cosmetic samples was carried out by LC/MS and $^1H$ NMR spectrometry. For the LC/MS analysis, aqueous solution was controlled in strong basic condition with sodium hydroxide, and benzoyl chloride was added to the solution for the derivatization of glycerin. The derivative was extracted using pentane and analyzed by the LC/MS. For the $^1H$ NMR analysis, sample was directly dissolved in $D_2O$ solvent without pretreatment. The quantitative analysis of glycerin was done by $^1H$ NMR ERETIC method. The analysis results of LC/MS and $^1H$ NMR showed that the calibration curves were a good linearity with $r^2=0.9991$ in the range of 0.1 to $10{\mu}g/mL$ and $r^2=1$ in the range of 25 to $500{\mu}g/mL$, respectively.

Embryogenic suspension cultures were initiated using embryogenic callus from immature inflorescence explants (Aralia cordata Thunb.) cultured on solid MS medium containing 1 mg/L 2,4-D for 8 weeks and then the embryogenic callus was proliferated in liquid MS medium containing 1 mg/L 2,4-D. After sieving the suspensions (pore size 270$\mu$m), embryogenic cells were cultured in liquid MS medium with cytokinins (kinetin, BA, zeatin) for two weeks. When the embryogenic cells were transferred to liquid MS basal medium, primary somatic embryos were developed after 5 weeks of culture. Secondary embryos were developed directly from the primary torpedo and cotyledonary embryos cultured in solid MS basal medium. Frequency of secondary embryogenesis was higher on medium containing 2 mg/L kinetin than the other cytokinins. Plant regeneration was highly recorded by placing secondary cotyledonary embryos induced from primary cotyledonary embryos in MS medium containing 2 mg/L kinetin or 2 mg/L zeatin (25.4% and 28.6%, respectively). The plant regeneration from secordary embryos was prohibited by tertiary embryogenesis.

From Aspergillus nidulans, six suppressor mutants, MSI-MS6, were isolated, and their characteristics were analysed. These were the suppressor mutants for acriflavin resistant and nicotinamide auxotrophic mutant phenotypes. MS1, MS2, MS5 and MS6, were linked to the chromosome IV, I, II respectively, and MS2 was linked to one of the rest chromosomes, MS3 and MS6 mutants had both suppressors for acriflavin resistant marker and for nicotinamide auxotrophic marker. In order to know the stability and efficiency of the suppressors, their reversion frequencies, that is, frequencies of losing the suppressibility, were analysed. Only MS3 and MS5 were reversed with high frequency. The four mutants didn't lose their suppressibilities, and this meant that the suppressors of these four were very stable and highly effcient. The suppressor specificities of these mutants were tested for other mutant's phenotype marker. One of the six suppressors, MS1, had the suppressor specificity for acriflavin resistant marker of 163 strain.
