Anthocyanin formation in callus cultures using Populus alba ${\times}$ Populus glandulosa was evaluated on basal MS medium supplemented with various levels of growth regulators, sucrose and nitrate concentrations. The highest yield of anthocyanin from cultured cells was produced under 5% sucrose, 1/8 strength of nitrate(12.5% of basic concentration) and combination of 1.0 mg/l IAA with 2 mg/l BAP, respectively. The high anthocyanin producing cell line no. 11 was selected among 15 cell lines, showing over 80% cells contained anthocyanin producing cells. From these cells, the highly productive red protoplast was isolated and the highest protoplast yield, $6.7{\times}10^6$ was obtained in enzyme combination IV which is composed of 2.0% cellulase, 0.5% macerozyme and 0.1% pectolyase.

This study was conducted to determine the response of newly developed chlorophyllous cells against photosynthesis inhibitory herbicides in LS medium. Inhibition of the growth of the selected chlorophyllous cells in the LS medium containing sucrose 1%, NAA $10^{-5}$ M and BA $10^{-6}$ M under light condition increased as the concentrations of paraquat increased from $10^{-6}$ M to $10^{-4}$ M. The calli died in $10^{-4}$ M paraquat treatment and the inhibition of calli growth was greater when $CO_2$ was supplied. In the treatment of herbicide diuron, the inhibition of calli growth also increased as the concentrations of diuron increased from $10^{-6}$ M to $10^{-3}$ M and more inhibition was observed at 1% sucrose than 2% sucrose.

The effects of alcohol concentration (30% 45% and 60%) on quality changes of maesil (Prunus mume) liqueur during leaching and ripening for 5 months were examined. Total acidity, pH and color of the liqueur generally increased with an increase alcohol concentration for 2 months. Thereafter the significant change did not occur. The contents of reducing sugar and polyphenol in the liqueur increased with an increase alcohol concentration and ripening periods. The major components of free sugar in maesil liqueur were fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose. The content of fructose and glucose were higher than those of sucrose and maltose regardless alcohol concentration. Sucrose and maltose did not detect in the liqueur after leaching and ripening for 2 months. The major components of organic acid in maesil liqueur were citric, lactic, malic, and acetic acids. The optimal alcohol concentration was 45% and the duration of leaching and ripening was about 2 months for production of high-proof maesil liqueur.

This study was carried out to determine optimal medium conditions for mass propagation by bioreactor culture of ever-bearing strawberry (Fragaria ${\times}$ ananassa D.). Two different type of nitride were that mixed $NH_4NO_3$ and $KNO_3$ or added $KNO_3$ only. And nitride concentrations were at the 4 levels of $1/2{\times}$, $1{\times}$, $2{\times}$ and $3{\times}$ that was included $NH_4NO_3$ and $KNO_3$. Sucrose content ranged at 3 levels of $10g{\cdot}L^{-1}$, $20g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and $30g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and medium pH were at the 3 levels of 4.6, 5.6 and 6.6. In bioreactor culture, medium that are included $NH_4NO_3$ and $KNO_3$ together in MS medium was suitable for mass propagation. Medium EC rose rapidly when the nitride concentration was increased. For that reason, plantlet growth was inhibited. Shoots of nitride $1/2{\times}$ concentration was 10.8 ea and $1/2{\times}$ concentration was suitable for shoot propagation. Fresh weight of sucrose $30g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ was 3,101 mg which was heaviest and aerial and ground part were higher than the other concentration. Shoots were increased in proportion to the increasing concentration of sucrose. In the pH condition, from pH 5.6 to 6.8 were appropriate for the optimum growth of aerial and ground part of plant. From the results, in bioreactor culture for mass propagation, MS medium was suitable $1/2{\times}$ concentration that was included $NH_4NO_3$ and $KNO_3$ together, and added $30g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of sucrose, and then adjusted pH between 5.6 and 6.6.

The effects of various carbon sources on the secretion of hGM-CSF, total protein and protease into the medium were investigated in transgenic tobacco cells. The dry cell weight (11.2 g/L) and wet cell weight (310.8 g/L) were highest at 30 g/L glucose after 5-day culture but, the dry cell weight (13.4 g/L) and wet cell weight (480 g/L) were highest at 30 g/L sucrose after 10-day culture. The total protein (110.3 mg/L), protease activity (3950 U/L) and total secreted hGM-CSF (56 mg/L) were highest at 30 g/L sucrose after 10-day culture. Stabilization of the total secreted protein and hGM-CSF in various carbon source concentrations was determined. Total secreted protein was most stabilized in the medium containing sucrose. However, the loss of the total protein was increased with the concentrations of high level in medium containing sorbitol, mannitol, fructose, and glucose. hGM-CSF was more stabilized in the medium containing sucrose than in the medium containing sorbitol, mannitol, fructose, glucose.

The ultimate target of restoring waste landfills is revegetation. The most effective method for increasing species richness and biomass in nutrient limited waste landfills is the use of fertilizers. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of nitrogen fertilizer, and the addition of carbon through sawdust, sucrose and litter, on vegetation dynamics at a representative municipal waste landfill in South Korea: Kyongseodong. A total of 288 permanent plots $(0.25m^2)$ were established and treated with nitrogen fertilizer (5, 10 and $20Ng/m^2$), sawdust $(289g/m^2)$ sucrose $(222g/m^2)$ and litter $(222g/m^2)$. The aboveground biomass was significantly enhanced by nitrogen fertilizer at 5 and $10Ng/m^2$, compared with the control plots. The total cover of all plant species increased significantly on plots treated with 5 and $20Ng/m^2$, as well as on those treated with sawdust and sucrose, compared with the control plots. The higher species richness after nitrogen fertilization of 10 to $20Ng/m^2$, and the sawdust and sucrose treatment demonstrated that this was an appropriate restoration option for nutrient deficient waste landfills. This study demonstrated positive nutrient impacts on plant biomass and species richness, despite the fact that municipal waste landfills are ecosystems that are highly disturbed by anthropogenic and internal factors (landfill gas and leachate). Adequate N and C combined treatments will accelerate species succession (higher species richness and perennial increase) for restoration of waste landfills.

The objective of this study is to investigate cryoprotective effects of corn starch enzyme hydrolysates of nonsweet and low-calories on denaturation of frozen fish protein. The cryoprotective effects of were examined in Alaska pollack actomyosin solution by changes in SDS-PAGE pattern, solubility, and $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity. When samples stored for 0 and 30 days were compared on SDS-PAGE patterns, severe changes in all bands were shown on the control sample regardless of storage temperature, especially in myosin heavy chain (MHC). Not much difference no appeared the electrophoretic pattern in case of the samples containing sucrose at any storage temperature during 30 days of storage. The cryoprotective effect of the hydrolysates were markedly dependant on storage temperature and no MHC band was found in the samples stored at $-5^{\circ}C$. The SDS-PAGE patterns of sample stored at $-20^{\circ}C$, however, completely maintained after 30 days or storage. When the samples were stored at $-5^{\circ}C$, the solubility of the sample containing sucrose was retained at $90\%$ after 30 days of storage, whereas dramatically decreased in other samples. The samples including sucrose, D.E. 10, 15, and 20 revealed $90\%$ in solubility when stored at $-20^{\circ}C$. The tendency of remaining $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity was almost shown the same as that of solubility.

Rhodiola sachalinensis is one of the most popular oriental medicines in East Asia. It is a perennial herb, belonging to the family Crassulaceae, which is mainly distributed in mountains at the altitudes of 1700-2500 m in Baek-Du mountain. Cultivation of this species for the production of medicine materials is not easy in nature, because of restrict habitats. In vitro production of roots can be applicable for the production of medicinal materials. Here, we investigated the optimal conditions for induction and proliferation of adventitious roots in in vitro culture system. Leaf, stem and root segments from R. sachalinensis were cultured on Murashige and Skoog(MS) medium supplemented with the various concentrations of IBA(Indole-3-butyric acid)(0.5, 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0 mg/L) and sucrose(10, 30, 50, and 100 g/L). The optimal explant for adventitious root induction was leaf segment. Induction of adventitious roots was highest on MS medium supplemented with 5.0 mg/L IBA and sucrose 30 g/L. In liquid culture, fresh weight of adventitious roots was highest(15.65 g) on 1/3 strength MS liquid medium supplemented with 5.0 mg/L IBA with 30 g/L sucrose. These results revealed the first attempt for the production of adventitious roots in R. sachalinensis.

Adventitious shoot buds, without an intervening callus phase, were induced from stem explants of Trichosanthes kirilowii on MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/L BA. The culture medium, carbon source as well as plant growth regulators were found to influence further shoot multiplication and eventual shoot growth. A maximum number of shoots was obtained on a MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L BA and 3% sucrose. Shoot produced in vitro were rooted on half-strength phytagelled 1/2MS medium prior to transfer to green house condition.

Purpose: This study compared the pain-relieving effects of human milk, sucrose, and distilled water during examinations for retinopathy of prematurity. Methods: Forty-five preterm infants were randomly assigned to receive a pacifier dipped in one of three solutions: human milk (n=14), 24% sucrose (n=15), or distilled water (n=16), 2 minutes before an eye examination. Their pain score, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation were measured at three time points: 5 minutes before the examination, 30 seconds after speculum introduction, and 2 minutes after the examination. Results: The infants' mean gestational age and weight at birth were $33.1{\pm}2.1$ weeks and $1,842{\pm}470g$, respectively. There were no between-group differences in pain relief during the eye examination. The pain score significantly increased both during (p<.001) and after the examinations (p=.003). Oxygen saturation decreased during the examinations (p<.001); however, the infants in the 24% sucrose group showed higher oxygen saturation (p=.047) during the examinations than the infants in the other groups. Conclusion: Sucking on a pacifier dipped in human milk or 24% sucrose did not reduce the pain associated with eye examinations in preterm infants. Pacifiers dipped in sucrose can be used to maintain better oxygen saturation during these examinations.
