Responses of Botryosphaeria dothidea to interrupted wetness periods were investigated under in vivo and in vitro conditions. Conidia of B. dothidea were allowed to germinate on apple fruits under wetting condition at $25^{\circ}C$ for 5 hr. They were air-dried for 0, 1, 2 or 4 hr, and then rewetted at $25^{\circ}C$ for 5 hr. Following an initial wetness period of 5 hr, 83% of the conidia germinated. The percent conidial germination increased to 96% when wetting was extended continuously another 5 hr. However, no further conidial germination was observed when wetting was interrupted by dry periods of 1, 2 and 4 hr, resulting in 83, 81 and 82%, respectively. The mean length of the germ tubes was $37{\mu}m$ after 5 hr of wetting and elongated to $157{\mu}m$ after 10 hr of continuous wetting. On the other hand, interruption of wetting by a dry period of 1 hr or longer after the 5 hr of initial wetting arrested the germ tube elongation at approximately $42{\mu}m$ long. Prolonged rewetting up to 40 hr did not restore germ tube elongation on slide glasses under substrate treatments. Model simulation using weather data sets revealed that ending infection periods by a dry period of at least 1 hr decreased the daily infection periods, avoiding the overestimation of infection warning. This information can be incorporated into infection models for scheduling fungicide sprays to control apple white rot with fewer fungicide applications.

The ultrastructural characteristics of germ cell differentiations during spermatogenesis and mature sperm morphology in male $Atrina$ ($Servatrina$) $pectinata$ were evaluated via transmission electron microscopic observation. The accessory cells, which contained a large quantity of glycogen particles and lipid droplets in the cytoplasm, are assumed to be involved in nutrient supply for germ cell development. Morphologically, the sperm nucleus and acrosome of this species are ovoid and conical in shape, respectively. The acrosomal vesicle, which is formed by two kinds of electron-dense or lucent materials, appears from the base to the tip: a thick and slender elliptical line, which is composed of electron-dense opaque material, appears along the outer part (region) of the acrosomal vesicle from the base to the tip, whereas the inner part (region) of the acrosomal vesicle is composed of electron-lucent material in the acrosomal vesicle. Two special characteristics, which are found in the acrosomal vesicle of A. ($S$) $pectinata$ in Pinnidae (subclass Pteriomorphia), can be employed for phylogenetic and taxonomic analyses as a taxonomic key or a significant tool. The spermatozoa were approximately $45-50{\mu}m$ in length, including a sperm nucleus (about $1.43{\mu}m$ in length), an acrosome (about $0.51{\mu}m$ in length), and a tail flagellum (about $46-47{\mu}m$). The axoneme of the sperm tail evidences a 9+2 structure.

양서류 수정란을 제 1 난할전에 중금속으로 처리하였던바 개구리의 시원생식세포수의 양전변화를 가져 왔다. 중금속의 일정량의 처리는 양서류 초기발생중에 시원생식세포 형성을 저하시켰다. 납 70ppm과 카드뮴 4ppm 이상에서 배양하면 9내지 12mm배에서 시원생식세포의 수적감소를 가져 왔으나 그후의 발생에서는 거의 정상군과같은 증가율을 보였다. 한편 수은 0.8ppm이상의 처리군에서는 생식 세포형성에 보다 심한 저하를 가져 왔으며 그후의 증가율도 대체로 낮았다. 위의 사실들은 자외선 조사 실험에서 얻은 결과와는 달리 양서류란에 있어서 중금속 처리는 조직에 심한 손상을 주는 다량투여에도 시원생식세포의 완전 배제에는 효과가 적다는 것을 암시한다.

이 연구는 태생경골어인 쏨뱅이의 번식생태학적 기초자료를 제공하고자 체내 자어와 출산 후의 시원생식세포의 출현, 원시 생식소와 난소 분화과정을 조직학적으로 조사하였다. 약 $10\;{\mu}m$의 시원생식 세포는 체내 자어의 초기 소화관과 중심신관 사이 복막에 위치하였다. 출산 후 31일째부터 생식원세포가 생식원기에 도달하였으며, 체세포들이 분열 증식하여 원시생식소를 형성하였고, 출산 후 49일째에 난소강이 형성되기 시작하였으며, 출산 후 60일째에 생식원기의 양쪽 끝에서부터 난소강 형성이 관찰되었다. 출산 후 79일째에는 난소강 안쪽을 따라 생식세포들이 분열 증식하기 시작하였다.

As a preclinical study, many researchers have been attempted to convert the porcine PSCs into several differentiated cells with transplantation of the differentiated cells into the pigs. Here, we attempted to derive neuronal progenitor cells from pig embryonic germ cells (EGCs). As a result, neuronal progenitor cells could be derived directly from pig embryonic germ cells through the serum-free floating culture of EB-like aggregates (SFEB) method. Treating retinoic acid was more efficient for inducing neuronal lineages from EGCs rather than inhibiting SMAD signaling. The differentiated cells expressed neuronal markers such as PAX6, NESTIN, and SOX1 as determined by qRT-PCR and immunostaining. These data indicated that pig EGCs could provide valid models for human therapy. Finally, it is suggested that developing transgenic pig for disease models as well as differentiation methods will provide basic preclinical data for human regenerative medicine and lead to the success of stem cell therapy.

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) have stemness characteristics, including germ cell-specific imprints that allow them to form gametes. Spermatogenesis involves changes in gene expression such as a transition from expression of somatic to germ cell-specific genes, global repression of gene expression, meiotic sex chromosome inactivation, highly condensed packing of the nucleus with protamines, and morphogenesis. These step-by-step processes finally generate spermatozoa that are fertilization competent. Dynamic epigenetic modifications also confer totipotency to germ cells after fertilization. Primordial germ cells (PGCs) in embryos do not enter meiosis, remain in the proliferative stage, and are referred to as gonocytes, before entering quiescence. Gonocytes develop into SSCs at about 6 days after birth in rodents. Although chromatin structural modification by Polycomb is essential for gene silencing in mammals, and epigenetic changes are critical in spermatogenesis, a comprehensive understanding of transcriptional regulation is lacking. Recently, we evaluated the expression profiles of Yin Yang 1 (YY1) and CP2c in the gonads of E14.5 and 12-week-old mice. YY1 localizes at the nucleus and/or cytoplasm at specific stages of spermatogenesis, possibly by interaction with CP2c and YY1-interacting transcription factor. In the present article, we discuss the possible roles of YY1 and CP2c in spermatogenesis and stemness based on our results and a review of the relevant literature.

쌀 배아의 활용가능성을 높이기 위한 기초연구로서 미생물을 이용하여 발효 쌀 배아를 제조한 후 품질특성과 생리활성을 분석하였다. 대조군인 왕겨와 쌀 배아 30% 및 70% 함유시료를 Bacillus 속의 발효균으로 발효시켰다. 일반성분 분석결과, 쌀 배아 함량이 증가할수록 조단백질 함량이 유의적으로 증가하였고, 발효 전에 비해 발효 후에 유의적으로 높았다. 수분함량은 발효 후 현저히 감소하였다. 발효 후 pH는 5.83~6.26에서 4.77~4.93으로 급격히 감소하였고, 총산도는 증가하였다. 총고형분 함량은 $0.40{\sim}0.87^{\circ}Bx$에서 발효 후 $1.63{\sim}2.20^{\circ}Bx$로 증가하였고, 총당 함량은 377.56~450.64 mg/mL에서 136.81~151.53 mg/mL로 감소하였다. 발효 전 후 폴리페놀 함량은 대조군이 0.59 및 0.73 mg GAE/g으로 가장 높았고 쌀 배아 30% 및 70% 함유시료는 발효 전 각각 0.26 및 0.28 mg GAE/g에서 발효 후 0.52 및 0.70 mg GAE/g과 같이 유의적으로 증가하였다. 플라보노이드 함량은 시료별 및 발효 전 후의 차이가 미미한 것으로 나타났다. DPPH 자유라디칼에 대한 전자공여능을 분석한 결과, 대조군의 $IC_{50}$은 가장 낮았으며, 발효 전 3.77 mg/mL에서 발효 후 3.36 mg/mL로 유의적으로 감소하였다. 쌀 배아 30% 함유시료는 발효 전 후 각각 6.05 및 3.90 mg/mL로 나타났고, 70% 함유시료는 각각 10.52 및 6.58 mg/mL와 같이 발효 후 유의적으로 감소하였다. 대조군의 xanthine oxidase 저해활성은 발효 전 59.65%에서 발효 후 63.69%로 증가하였으며, 모든 시료 중 가장 높았다. 쌀 배아 30% 및 70% 함유시료는 발효 전 각각 43.12% 및 49.81%에서 발효 후 51.32% 및 59.32%로 유의적으로 활성이 증가하였다. ACE 저해활성은 대조군이 발효 전 후에 가장 높아 36.11%에서 40.51%로 증가하였다. 쌀 배아 30% 함유시료는 14.79%에서 22.69%로 활성이 증가하였고, 70% 함유시료는 28.54%에서 33.91%로 유의적으로 증가하였다. 종합적으로 쌀 배아의 함량이 증가할수록 단백질 함량은 증가하고, DPPH 라디칼 소거능, XO 및 ACE 저해활성은 낮아지나, 미생물 발효에 의해 이와 같은 생리활성이 증진되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 미생물 발효는 향후 쌀 배아의 이용가능성 증진에 효과적인 것으로 사료된다.

Ultrastructural characteristics of the germ cells and accessory cells in testis during spermatogenesis and taxonomic values of mature sperm morphology of Ruditapes philippinarum were investigated by the transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope observations. The testis is the diffuse organ that consists of branching acini containing developing germ cells and accessory cells associated with spermatogenesis. The morphology of the spermatozoon is of the primitive type and is somewhat different to those of other bivalves. The morphologies of the sperm nucleus type and the acrosome shape of this species have a cylinderical type and a modified cone shape, respectively. As some ultrastructural characteristics of the acrosomal vesicle, the peripheral parts of two basal rings show electron opaque part, while the apex part of the acrosome shows electron lucent part. These characteristics of sperm belong to the family Veneridae in the subclass Heterodonta, unlike a characteristic of the subclass Pteriomorphia showing all part of the acrosome being composed of electron opaque part. In particular, a cylinder-like nucleus of the sperm is curved. The spermatozoon is approximately $48-51{\mu}m$ in length, including a long acrosome (about $2.4{\mu}m$ in length), a curved sperm nucleus (about $3.40{\mu}m$ in length), and a tail flagellum. The axoneme of the sperm tail shows a 9+2 structure.
