Effects of Estradiol-$17\beta(E_2)$ and 2, 4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2, 4-D) on vitellogenin(VTG) production were investigated in primary hepatocyte culture of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. Highest survival rate of hepatocyte were observed at $27^{\circ}C$, which markedly declined equal to 50% of those of $15^{\circ}C$. Vitellogenin production peaked at the concentration of $10^{-6}M\;E_2$. No effect was observed on VTG production at various concentrations of 2, 4-D. However, a low concentration of 2, 4-D (ie, $10^{-8}M$) only appeared increased VTG production. $E_2$ or $10^{-8}M$ 2, 4-D-primed VTG production was markedly inhibited by the addition of $10^{-6}M$ tamoxifen to the culture medium(P<0.01). Inhibition was not affected by combinational treatment with $10^{-6}M$ $E_2$ and $10^{-6}M$ 2, 4-D. These results from the current investigation suggest that 2, 4-D mimics $E_2$, but the mechanism of reaction in inducing the $E_2$ receptor are different in VTG production in oliver flounder hepatocytes.

A method for long-term conservation of somatic embryos of Eleutherococcus senticosos was described. Suspension cultured globular somatic embryos were successfully conservated for 36 months at $4^{\circ}C$. The embryos resumed growth within two weeks when returned to MS liquid medium containing $0.2\;mg/{\ell}$. 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid. The optimal condition for cell proliferation was achieved when somatic embryos cultured at $32^{\circ}C$ in 1/3 MS liquid medium, and about 1.2 g of embryogenic cell was induced from 150 globular embryos after 6 weeks of suspension culture. The embryogenic cells produced from these somatic embryos exhibited normal plant regeneration on auxin-free medium.

The effect of heat or chemotherapeutant treatment on the mosaic virus infected garlic(Allium sativum L.) scales and that of chemotherapeutant added to the culture medium were summarized as following. The treatment of the virus infected garlic scales at $37\~57^{\circ}C$ for 35 days to one hour in water or in air shelved no effort of inactivating the virus. Although treatment of the garlic scales at $62\~72^{\circ}C$ for 90 to five minutes reduced the mosaic symptom on the leaves of the garlic plants grown after the heat treatment, it reduced the growth vigor of the plants so greatly that complete inactivation of the virus in garlics was not feasible. The mosaic symptom on the leaves of garlic plant was reduced when the infected garlic scales were grown after 24 hours soaking in $10\~50\;ppm$ Malachite Green, 2,4-Dichlorophnoxy Acetic Acid, or in $20\~100\;ppm$ Quinhydron. These chemotherapeutants, however, inhibited the growth of garlic plant at the high concentration. Garlic scales soaked in $10\~50\;ppm$ Naphthyl Acetic Acid showed the least mosaic symptom without its complete extiction on the garlic leaves. When incorporated into the modified Murashige-Skoog's medium, $0.5\~l.5\;ppm$ Naphthyl Acetic Acid could inactivate the mosaic virus in newy developed garlic plants showing no mosaic symptom on the leaves, no inclusion bodies and intact nuclei in the leaf tissue cells.

Ralstonia eutrupha JMP134 is a well-known soil bacterium which can metabolite diverse aromatic compounds and xenobiotics, such as phenol, 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2, 4-D), and trichloroethylene (TCE), etc. Phenol is degraded through chromosomally encoded phenol degradation pathway. Phenol is first metabolized into catechol by a multicomponent phenol hydroxylase, which is further metabolized to TCA cycle intermediates via a meta-cleavage pathway. The nucleotide sequences of the genes for the phenol hydroxylase have previously been determined, and found to composed of eight genes phlKLMNOPRX in an operon structure. The phlR, whose gene product is a NtrC-like transcriptional activator, was found to be located at the internal region of the structural genes, which is not the case in most bacteria where the regulatory genes lie near the structural genes. In addition to this regulatory gene, we found other regulatory genes, the phlA and phlR2, downstream of the phlX. These genes were found to be overlapped and hence likely to be co-transcribed. The protein similarity analysis has revealed that the PhlA belongs to the GntR family, which are known to be negative regulators, whereas the PhlR2 shares high homology with the NtrC-type family of transcriptional activators like the PhlR. Disruption of the phlA by insertional mutation has led to the constitutive expression of the activity of phenol hydroxylase in JMP134, indicating that PhlA is a negative regulator. Possible regulatory mechanisms of phenol metabolism in R. eutropha JMP134 has been discussed.

The optimal condition for Morus alba cv was an MS culture medium at $27^{\circ}C$ for 20 days. Cheongmoknosang callus showed inhibitory activity against Helicobacter pylori at 1.05 g of wet weight of the cultured callus. The callus formation of Morus alba cv. Cheongmoknosang was influenced by naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and kinetin at concentrations of 2 mg/l. The growth rate of callus was higher than it was when these hormones were mixed with a single hormone. Thus, the optimal condition for direct callogenesis was to incubate with mixture (2,4-D/NAA) of 2 mg/l concentration at $27^{\circ}C$ for 20 days. Moreover, the optimal culture condition of the biomass in the mass production of inhibitory compounds against Helicobacter pylori from Morus alba cv. Cheongmoknosang callus was to incubate in an MS broth (each concentration 1 mg/l of 2,4-D and BA). When Morus alba cv. Cheongmoknosang callus were incubated for 20 days in a bioreactor, Helicobacter pylori inhibition of callus extracts was the highest at a clear zone of 16 mm.

The experiments were conducted to identify the herbicidal effect of 2,4-D{ (2,4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid}, 2,4-D ethylester {ethyl 2,4- dichlorophenoxy acetate} and bentazon{3- isopropyl-1H-2,1,3- benzothiazin- 4-(3H)one 2,2-dioxide} on Sagittaria trifolia. Both 2,4-D and 2,4-D ethylester could completely control S. trifolia when applied before 80 days after transplanting of the tubers (DAT), but the weeding effect by bentazone decreased when applied after 60 DAT. 2,4-D and 2,4-D ethylester were effectively translocated from the treated parts to growing point. They killed S. trifolia completely when applied at 80 DAT under 3cm standing water depths, but the controlling effect by bentazone decreased at deeper than 1cm standing water depth. Formation of S. trifolia tuber was effectively suppressed with 2,4-D at 7g ai/10a and 2,4-D ethylester at 6g ai/10a when applied 60 DAT.

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of 2,4-D amine salt (2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) 40EC in broadleaf weeds control under diverse conditions of rate and time of application and soil type in fall barley field. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1) At the rate of 70cc prod./10a, 2,4-D amine salt treated during the fully tillered stage of barley was effective for the control of most broadleaf weeds without crop injury. 2) The fully tillered stage was a optimun time lot the application of 2,4-D amine salt in fall barley. Earlier(zero-to four-leaf stage) or late. (boot stage to flowering) application than this stage caused a crop injury and resulted in yield reduction. 3) It was possible to safely use 2,4-D amine salt in fall barley regardless of soil types if applied the rate of 70cc prod./10a at the fully tillered stage.

This study was undertaken to investigate the interrelation between herbicide and insecticide and fungicide on rice (Oryza saliva L.) at various growth stages. Carbamate insecticide BPMC (2-sec-butylphenylmethyl-carbamate) severely inhibited germination of rice when applied alone and in combination with herbicides tested. No germination inhibition was obtained with thio- and dithiocarbamate pesticides. Post-germination growth of rice was severely inhibited by the treatments which were combined with BPMC irrespective of herbicides studied. Phytotoxicity of pendimethalin (3,4-dimethyl-2,6-dinitro-N-1-ethyl propylamine) was reduced by antagonistic effect of organophosphorus compounds. When herbicides were applied with either insecticide or fungicide, post-germination growth of rice was more greatly affected by the concentration of herbicides than that of insecticides or fungicides. Most of herbicide-insecticide or herbicide-fungicide treatments did not cause great phytotoxicity on rice when applied 5 days after transplanting. Foliage activity of phenoxy herbicide 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) and MCPA [(4-chloro-o-tolyl) oxy acetic acid] increased with addition of carbamate and urea pesticides.

In order to find out the best media, explants and environmental conditions for induction of calluses and organogeneses of Pinellia ternata (Thunb.) Breit in vitro, various parts of adult have been cultured on Murashige & Skoog's medium containing various levels of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid(2,4-D) and kinetin. The results obtained were as follows: Calluses were induced from the surface of apical meristem and leaf tissue. Formation and growth of calluses in petiole ex plants were best on the MS medium complemented with 2,4-D 2.0 mg/l and kinetin 0.2mg/l. But callus formation in stem ex plants of the nearest tuber was not induced at all kinds of media. Plantlets occured at all treatment except absence of growth regulator. Their numbers, size, leaf and fresh weight were promoted by 2,4-D 2.0mg/l and kinetin 0.2mg/l. Root growth was increased on the medium containing higher 2,4-D concentrations. Size and fresh weight of callus were increased at 25$^{\circ}C$ compared with 10, 20 and 30$^{\circ}C$, respectively. Optimal pH value was at 6.0 for growth of callus. Morphological aberrations were observed in plantlets, especially in regenerated leaves. The separation of the broad leaved plantlets and albino were observed in some cultures. Growth of plantlets after transplantation was best in pots with the sterilized vermiculte. But abnormal variants withered up.

Response of medicinal plants(58 species in 28 families) cultivated or naturally grown in Korea on paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium ion) was determined. All the plants, except for Jiwhang(Rehmannia glutinosa Liboch.) were killed by paraquat at 0. 8kg $ha^{-1}$. Jiwhang showed a great resistance to paraquat. The phytotoxic effect did not occur in Jiwhang with paraquat applied at 3.2kg $ha^{-1}$. Only 10% growth inhibition of Jiwhang was obtained at 4.8kg $ha^{-1}$. Normal growth of Jiwhang also occurred when at 0.8kg $ha^{-1}$ of paraquat different application dates from 2 leaf stage(LS) to 8 LS and/or five-repeated applications at 20-day intervals starting from 3 LS were employed. However, Jiwhang was completely killed by glyphosate[N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine], 2,4-D[2,4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid], and dicamba[3,6-dichloro-2-methoxy benzoic acid]+2, 4-D at the respective recommended rates.
