The experiment was conducted to find the changes of early growth and chemical components such as chlorophyll content, superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity, free proline content on the different manganese chloride concentration(2,500, 3,500 and 4,500ppm) in rice seedling. Root growth was decreased in highest concentration, 4,500 ppm of Mn compared with the control and germination rate was also decreased 43% at 4,500 ppm of Mn. Chlorophyll content was decreased at Mn 4,500ppm with 1.16mg. Free proline content at 3 day after germination in Mn 4,500ppm was highest relative to the other manganese chloride concentrations. SOD activity was gradually increased as manganese chloride concentration was increased. As a result, it was suggested that an increment of free proline and SOD activity results from the higher manganese chloride concentration.

Separation of the optical isomers of free amino acids by a reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography has been studied by adding a copper(II) complex of L-proline or L-proline derivatives (hydroxy-L-proline, N-benzyl-L-proline, p-xylenyl-L-proline, p-xylenyl-hydroxy-L-proline) in the mobile phase. An OPA postcolumn detection system was used for the detection of amino acids. The chromatographic properties for the free amino acids were discussed in terms of the pH, the kinds and concentration of chelate or organic modifier. The retention behaviors of the free amino acids were considerably different from, those of DNS-amino acids or DABS-amino acids. The enantioselectivity of the free amino acids was better than that of derivatized amino acids. The enantioselectivity between the optical isomers observed by use of the Cu(II)-p-xylenyl-L-proline chiral cheleate was the best among the several copper(II) chelate. A separation mechanism could be illustrated not only by the hydrophobic interaction of the diastereomer with stationary phase but also by the steric effect of the ligand exchange reaction between the free-amino acids and copper chelate.

The study was carried out to examine changes of ${\alpha}$-amylase activity and free proline contents during rice germination under low temperature($13^{\circ}C$). The plant height, root length, and germination rate were investigated during seed germination under the low temperature. Those growth chracteristics were the highest in Dongjin cultiver compared with other rice cultivars. The ${\alpha}$-amylase activity of the 9 days after germination was higher in Dongjin than those of Sangju and Koshihikari cultivars. The content of free proline was increased in all rice cultivars, when the germination of rice seeds was prolonged. As a result, it was concluded that ${\alpha}$-amylase activity and free proline content of Donjin cultivar were relatively increased higher under low temperature stress than those of other rice cultivars.

The study was conducted to find the critical concentrations of zinc toxicity and to determine the changes of the contents of free proline and organic acids with treatment of different zinc chloride concentrations during rice germination and seedlings grown for seven days. The concentration of zinc chloride, 140 ppm, inhibited root elongation as much as 46 times compared with the control, and the germination rate was also decreased in all treatments of zinc chloride, showing that the germination rate decreased more with increasing concentrations of zinc chloride. Its rate was only 13% with treatment of 140 ppm zinc chloride. The content of free proline with treatment of zinc chloride, 140 ppm, was highest about 4,873 $\mu$M at 3 days compared with the control. Malic acid concentration with treatment of zinc chloride, 140 ppm, increased to approximately 4 times compared to the control. Citric and succinic acid content were also slightly increased in all treatments of zinc chloride.

In order to study the decomposition process of glycogen and protein of oyster during fermentation with salt, and the relationship between their breakdown products, the amounts of free reducing sugars and lactic acid were determined, and amino acid compositions were analysed. In addition, the amount of the available lysine which may help us to estimate the reaction of the free reducing sugars with the free amino acids was also determined. Glycogen and protein were gradually decomposed to free reducing sugars and lactic acid, and free amino acids, respectively, and the available lysine was slightly decreased during the fermentation process. Glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine and proline were relatively rich in the amino acid com-position of raw oyster protein while amino acids such as tryptophan, methionine, histidine and tyrosine were poor. It was noted that the decreased amino acids in the protein from the fermented oyster were valine, histine, isoleucine and lysine. As a respect to the free amino acids, proline, taurine, glycine, glutamic acid and alanine were abundant in the raw oyster and reached up to $69\%$ of the total fret amino acids. In the fermented oyster, proline, glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, aspartic acid and lysine were prevalently contained and marke about $65\%$ of the total free amino acids. The contents of free amino acids such as lysine, arginine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, cysteine, isoleucine and tyrosine increased during fermentation while those of taurine, proline and leucine decreased.

In this experiment, the contents of free amino acids, and nucleotides and their related compounds of dried cod products were analysed by amino acid autoanalyzer and HPLC. Proline, histidine, lysine and alanine were dominant amino acids in raw extracts, having $65.4\%$ of total free amino acid contents, but the contents of aspartic acid, serine, isoleucine and phenylalanine were low, and methionine, tyrosine and arginine were detected in trace amount. In free amino acid composition of dried products, abundant amino acids were glycine, histidine, lysine, proline and alanine. Such amino acid as aspartic acid, methionine, tyrosine and phenylalanine were poor. In extracts of storage sample, most free amino acids were increased in both sun dried products and hot air dried products, and glycine, histidine, lysine, proline and alanine were abundant amino acid, such amino acid as methionine, tyrosine and phenylalanine were poor. In raw cod, inosine and IMP were dominant contents which 18.5, $10.0{\mu}mole/g$ on dry base, respectively, but the contents of ATP, ADP, hypoxanthine and AMP were detected less than $3.2{\mu}mole/g$. ATP and ADP were decreased while IMP, inosine and hypoxanthine were increased during drying and storage of cod.

Drought resistance and salt resistance of seedlings were compared with the polyethylene glycol(P.E.G) and NaCl solutions of the same osmotic potential($\Psi_\pi$=-10 bar). Plant height, seedling dry weight, chlorophyll content and leaf water potential decreased while the free proline content increased more in the P.E.G. than in the NaCl solution. Free amino acids increased 2.6 times in the P.E.G. solution and 3.6 times in the NaCl solution more than in the untreated(Hoagland's solution). Free proline occupied 66% and 61% of the content of total amino acids under water stress and salt stress, respectively. Besides free proline, phenylalanine in the P.E.G. solution and phenylalanine, alanine and asparagine in the NaCl solution increased distinctly. In short, it was shown that water and salt stress responses in seedling stage were relatively similar.

Total nitrogen content, proline, free amino acids, sugars, invertase and diastase activities in native bee-honey (NBH) and foregin bee-honey (FBH) harvested from our different areas of Kangwon , Korea were determined. The total nitrogen contents of NBH and FBH were 0.077$\pm$0.033mg% and 0.055$\pm$0.022mg%, respectively. Proline content in NBH was 42$\pm$10mg% and waqs found to be much lower than that in FHB. Phenylalanine and proline were major free amino acids both in NBH and FBH . The content of total free amino acid in FBH were twice as much as that in NBH , however isomaltose content in NBH were almost two times more than that in FBH. Other sugars including fructose, glucos , sucrose and maltose were also analyzed. No differences were found between NBH and FBH in invertase activities, but comparing to these of FBH ,lower values of diastase activity in NBH were observed.

The experiment was conducted to find changes of growth response, free proline content and organic acids on manganese chloride toxicity($4,000mg\;l^{-1}$) for germination and early growth in rice. Root growth was increased in kinetin $10^{-3}M$ compared with control and germination rate was also increased in kinetin $10^{-3}M$ as 89%. Chlorophyll contents was slightly increased in kinetin $10^{-3}M$. Free proline content at 3days in Mn $4,000mg\;l^{-1}$ was higher than at 7 and 10 days, and all kinetin concentrations promoted free proline content. In organic acids, particularly, malic acid was remarkably increased in kinetin $10^{-3}M$ compared with control and Mn $4,000mg\;l^{-1}$.
