The effects of ethanol on the toxicity of 2, 4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in ICR mice were examined. The results were summerized as follows; 1. The LD$\sub$50/ of 2.4-dichlorphenoxyacetic acid sodium injected intraperitoneally in mice was approximately 367 mg/kg. When the animals were administered with ethanol, 2 ml/kg or 4 ml/kg the LD$\sub$50/ of 2.4-D sodium were decreased to 338 mg/kg or 32 mg/kg, respectively. 2. In the acute experimental group, spontaneous motor activity in the ANIMEX system exhibited dose-dependent decrease in mice administered with 2.4-D sodium and ethanol. 3. However, in subacute experimental group, spontaneous motor activity in the ANIMEX system exhibited dose-dependent increase in mice treated with ethanol.

Higher plants provide valuable genetic assay systems for screening and monitoring environmental pollutants. They are now recognized as excellent indicators of mutagenic effects of environmental chemicals and are applicable for the detection of environmental mutagens both indoor and outdoor. 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is a herbicide commonly used in agriculture. The residues of 2,4-D are present in air, water, soil and edible plants. It constitutes a real hazard to the public health because it's wide spread use in agriculture. Genotoxic effects of 2,4-D on plant cells and potential of higher plants as a biomonitoring system for detecting chemical mutagens are evaluated. It is recommended that higher plant systems have been accepted by regulatory authorities as an alternative biomonitoring system for the detection of possible genetic damage resulting from pollution and the use of environmental chemicals.

The effect of topical application with 200,400 and 600 $\mu$g/ml 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D) and Naphthoxyacetic Acid (NOA) to the fifth stadium larvae of the silkworm, B. mori on fat body glycogen, protein, total lipids, phospholipids, neutral lipids and haemolymph trehalose and protein has been studied. The fat body glycogen significantly increased in all the groups treated with 2,4-D whereas there is no significantly change in fat body glycogen in all the groups treated with NDA. However, the haemolymph trehalose was significantly increased in all 274-D and NOA treated groups except in the groups treated with 400 and 600 $\mu$g/ml 2,4-D where the increase was not significant.The fat body protein did not show any significant change in all groups treated with 2,4-D and NOA except in the groups treated with 200 $\mu$g/ml 2,4-D where the fat body protein was significantly increased. The total lipids, phospholipids and neutral lipids of the fat body increased significantly in all the groups treated with 2,4-D and NOA when compared with those of the corresponding parameters of the carrier control.

환경오염원으로서 페녹시계 제초제인 ,2,4-D(2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid)에 노출된 토양으로부터 분리된 세균인 Burkholderia cepacia YK-2에서 2,4-D에 의한 스트레스 충격 단백질의 생성을 조사하였다. 활발하게 생장을 하고 있는 B. cepacia YK-2의 배양은 다양한 농도의 2,4-D에 노출되어 스트레스 충격단백질을 생성하였다. 이 반응은 43kDa의 DnaK와 41kDa의 GroEL 단백질의 생성을 수반하였으며, 이 단백질들은 anti-DnaK 단일 항체와 anti-GroEL 단일 항체를 사용한 SDS-PAGE과 Western blot을 통하여 확인되었다. 생성된 총 스트레스 충격 단백질은 2-D PAGE 에 의하여 분석되었다. 다양한 2,4-D농도와 노출 시간에 따른 B. cepacia YK-2의 생존율을 분석한 결과, 이 세균의 생존율은 스트레스 충격 단백질의 생성과 비례하였다.

The effect of topical application with 200,400 and 600 $\mu$g/ml 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) on the fifth larval stadium of the silkworm, B. mori, was analyzed. Larvae treated during fifth larval stadium enhanced larval, cocoon and adult parameters. The larval period was significantly decreased with increase in silk gland weight at 400 and 600 $\mu$g/ml, male cocoon weight and shel1 weight in all the treated groups and filament length and weight at 200 $\mu$g/ml treated group. Length of the ovariole, eggs per ovariole and hatching percentage increased significantly in all the treated groups when compared with those of the carrier control. This suggests that the plant growth regulator 2,4-D in addition to affecting silk production also affect reproductive performance.

This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of kinetin and 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid on the rate of growth, the contents of RNA, DNA, and protein. And also the effect of plant growth regulator on isoperoxidases in callus derived from root (root-callus) and petiole (petiolecallus) was investigated. The rate of growth in petiole-callus was higher than the rootcallus at 0.1 mg/l kinetin and 1mgfl 2,4-D. At 1mgll kinetic, the rate of growth increased, but at high concentration the rate of growth decreased fast. The contents of RNA, DNA and protein also increased, but it did not coincide with the increase of the growth rate of callus. The isoperoxidases of callus grown at various amounts of 2,4-D and kinetic occurred in an almost fashion, but those of root-callus appeared different from those of petiole-callus.

The genetic status of somatic embryo-derived plantlets of Cymbopogon flexuosus was examined by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Auxins such as 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) (1-4 mg/l) were used in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium for induction of calli from rhizomatous explants of Cymbopogon flexuosus. Optimum calli were induced on MS medium supplemented with 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) (3.5 mg/l) alone or in combination with $N^6-benzyladenine$ (2 mg/l). Somatic embryogenesis was achieved from long term calli when cultured on MS medium containing 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) (2 mg/l) along with $N^6-benzyladenine$ (BA) (1-2 mg/l). Regeneration was achieved when freshly induced embryogenic calli were sub-cultured on MS medium supplemented with $N^6-benzyladenine$ (3 mg/l) alone. Long-term cultured embryos showed profuse minute rooting on regeneration medium supplemented with N6 -benzyladenine (3 mg/l). Microshoots were rooted in the presence of indole-butyric acid (IBA) (2 mg/l). DNA samples from the mother plant and 18 randomly selected regenerated plants from a single callus were subjected to RAPD analysis with 6 arbitrary decamer primers for the selection of putative somaclones. A total of 64 band positions were scored, out of which 19 RAPD bands were polymorphic. From genetic similarity coefficient based on RAPD band data sharing, it was found that the majority of the clones were almost identical or more than 92% similar to the mother plant, except CL2 and CL9 (66%) which showed highest degree of genetic change with CL2 and CL9 showing presence of two non-parental bands each.

The ability of several auxin analogs to induce ethylene production was tested in the corn coleoptile. The synthetic auxins 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (1-NAA) and 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) had strong stimulatory effects on ethylene induction surpassing that of IAA. Both 2-naphthalaneacetic acid (2-NAA) and 2, 6-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2, 6-D), structural analogs of these auxins, respectively, were found to be inactive. Treatment with NPA, a strong inhibitor of polar auxin transport, led to drastic increase in IAA-induced ethylene production while it has bo effect on ethylene production induced by 1-NAA. A positive correlative existed between intracellular auxin level and ethylene production.

2,4-D는 자연에서 잘 분해되지 않아 환경에 대하여 심각하게 문제를 일으키지만 널리 사용되고 있는 제초제이다. 이 연구는 광주광역시 인근 지역 과수원에서 분리한 균주 중 가장 높은 2.4-D분해 활성을 보이는 균주를 선정하여, 동정한 결과 Aeromonas sp.로 판명된 균주를 가지고 표면 반응법(Response Surface Methodology)을 이용하여 2,4-D 분해를 최대화하기 위한 중요한 변수들인, pH,온도, 영양분의 농도들의 최적조건을 고찰하였다. 2,4-D분해에 많은 영향을 미치는 변수는 영양분의 농도로 밝혀졌으며, 통계 분석결과 2,4-D분해 최적 조건은 pH 6.5, 온도 $31.8-32.1^{\circ}C$, 영양분 29.6-30.1 g/1로 밝혀졌다.
