In order to define the morphological changes of the secreting cells of prothoracic gland during larva-pupal molt, ultrastructural observations were carried out using Bombyx mori L. as the experimental material. At first stage of present experiment, 4 day old 5th instar larva, the polyhedral secreting cells were centrally located in the prothoracic gland surrounded by the connective sheath. The secreting cells were attached to the neighboring cells by the prominent desmosomes, and the plasma membrane contacted with connective sheath were highly infolded. In cytoplasm, the most of the cell organelles, such as rod-like mitochondria, rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum, ribosome were developed. As the stages advance from larva to pupa, general feature of the secreting cells were retained, but structural changes of the various cytoplasmic organelles-ribosome, rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, lamellar body, and vesicle-were noted. In the perinuclear cytoplasm of the secreting cells at the stage of 6 day old 5th instar larva, it is peculiar that only a large amount of ribosomes were distributed and the other organelles were retreated from the juxtanuclear region. Just before and after spining cocoon, these features were more remarkable. Rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum were gradually increased from the stage just before spining cocoon to the pharate pupa. Rod-like mitochondria with irregular cristae and the matrix showing low density were distributed throughout the cytoplasm in the secreting cells of the 4 day old 5th instar larva. Sometimes, longitudinally distended and curved mitochondria were observed. At the stage of pharate pupa, most of mitochondria were deformed. The rod-like mitochondria of the secreting cells of pupal prothoracic gland were narrower than those of 4 day old 5th instar larva, and the electron density of the mitochondrial matrix is increased in pupa. Golgi apparatus were a few in number in both stages, last instar larva and spining cocoon. In stages of the pharate pupa, the Golgi apparatus were frequently observed. Cytoplasmic vesicles were observed for the first time in the secreting cells of one day after spining cocoon, and the number and the size of cytoplasmic vesicles were distinctly increased inpharate pupa and just after pupation. In the secretory cells of the PG, it in concluded that the RER was closely related to syntheting the enzymes seem to produce the ecdysone.

Infection of pepper leaves by Colletotrichum cocodes at the two- and eight-leaf stages caused susceptible and resistant lesions 96 h after inoculation, respectively. At the two-leaf stage, progressive symptom development occurred on the infected leaves. In contrast, localized necrotic spots were characteristic symptoms at the eight-leaf stage. Infected leaves at the two-leaf stage exhibited cell death accompanied by the accumulation of autofluorescent compounds. At the eight-leaf stage, pepper leaves infected by the anthracnose fungus displayed localized autofluorescence from the symptoms. Infection of pepper leaves by C. cocodes at the two-leaf stage resulted in its rapidand massive colonization of all the leaf tissues including the vascular tissue, together with cytoplasmic collapse, distortion of chloroplasts, and disruption of host cell walls. However, penetration of C. cocodes was very limited in the older leaf tissues of pepper plants at the eight-leaf stage. Fungal hyphae grew only in the intramural spaces of the epidermal cell walls at this stage. Occlusion of amorphous material in xylem vessels, aggregation of fibrillar material in inter-cellular spaces, and deposition of protein bodies were found as resistance responses to C. cocodes.

느타리버섯 자실체의 형성과정에서 생육 및 미세구조에 미치는 배지기재의 영향을 검토한 결과, 배지의 종류에 따른 초발이소요일수는 폐면이 5일로 가장 빨랐고 볏짚은 대조와 같이 6일이었다. 볏짚과 폐면에서 생육한 느타리의 경도는 대조의 5715.4 $g/cm^2$에 비해 1/2정도로 낮게 나타났으나 톱밥 단독배지에서 생육한 느타리의 경도는 17067.3 $g/cm^2$으로 3배이상의 높은 경도를 나타내어 톱방이 느타리버섯의 경도에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각된다. 배지별 느타리자실체의 갓부위를 관찰한 결과, 톱밥배지의 경우 다른 자실체의 주름으로부터 비산된 담자포자들이 대량으로 떨어져 있는 것이 관찰되었으며, 볏짚배지의 경우 갓낭상체의 발달이 관찰되었으며 폐면에서 생육한 자실체의 갓의 균사와 노화가 다른 처리에 비해 빠르게 진행되어 있는 것이 관찰되었다. 또한, 톱밥 및 폐면에서 생육한 자실체의 갓의 균사의 노화가 다른 처리에 비해 빠르게 진행되어 있는 것이 관찰되었다. 또한, 톱밥 및 폐면에서 생육시킨 느타리자실체의 담자기의 자가분해 및 담자포자 비산이 빠르게 진행되었음을 확인 하였다. 톱밥배지에서 생육시킨 느타리자실체의 대부의 균사의 생육상태는 두꺼운 균사다발이 대부위 전체를 피복한 듯한 형태가 관찰되어 이러한 균사다발층이 대의 경도를 높이는 요인으로 작용했을 것으로 판단되며, 대조군에서는 풍부한 세포질 물질을 갖는 균사들이 관찰된데 반해, 톱밥에서 생육시킨 느타리자실체의 균사는 다른 처리에 비해 착색이 많이 되어 있는 균사와 액포화된 균사의 발달이 두드러짐을 확인하였다.

Cytologic features of conventional chordoma have been described and most reports emphasize the presence of large cells with numerous well defined cytoplasmic vacuoles or physaliferous cells. We report fine needle aspiration cytologlc (FNAC) findings of a case of chordoma without physaliferous cells. The smear was cellular and composed of large cohesive clusters or individually scattered cells in mucinous background. The round or cuboidal cells had centrally located nuclei with fine granular chromatin, inconspicuous nucleoli, and occasional vacuolated cytoplasm. Mild to moderate pleomorphism was noted. Physaliferous cells are extremely helpful when present in cytologic material, but they are not necessary for diagnosis. Thus clinical history, roentgenographic appearance, and exact location of the lesion are required for the successful Interpretation of presacral aspirates together with cytologic findings.

In the goby Micropercops swinhonis, the development of its egg's enveloping layers could be divided into 4 stages. In the earliest developmental period, stage I, there is a simple oocyte surrounded by a layer of squamous follicular cells. Stage II corresponds to the yolk vesicle stage of vitellogenesis. Here the initial follicular layer has become bilaminar with the retention of its outer squamous cell layer and the acquisition of an inner cuboidal cell layer just over the zona radiata. The number and size of the cuboidal cells increases throughout this stage. Stage III corresponds to the yolk granule stage of true vitellogenesis. Here the cuboidal cells begin to be replaced by columnar cells. As the oocyte grows, the columnar cells increase in size. The columnar cells produce cytoplasmic neutral mucins and by the end of this stage their cytoplasm has been filled with this mucin. In stage IV a single layer of squamous cells still remained as the outer follicular layer of the oocyte. The secretory activity of the inner follicular layers' columnar cells has ceased and they had lost their cell wall integrity and ended as a series of bullet-shaped, neutral mucin deposits.

Myxopapillary ependymoma generally arise in the conus medullaris and filum terminale of adult spinal cord. These tumors are readily recognized due to unique histopathologic features, however, their cytologic features are not well described. When only a tiny sample is obtained, cytologic examination using crush preparation may be a useful diagnostic tool to help appropriate intraoperative diagnosis. We present the crush cytologic features of myxopapillary ependymoma arising in thoracic and lumbar spinal cord of a 13-year-old boy. The patient had complained of paraparesis and back pain for 1 month. The MRI image revealed a relatively well demarcated intramedullary mass in T11-L1 levels. Crush preparation for cytology were peformed by biopsy material. Crush cytologic findings revealed high cellularity and small sized branching papillary clusters on fibrillary or mucinous background. The tumor cells had uniform round or elongated nuclei. The cytoplasmic process of tumor cells were attached to the vascular wall. Between the tumor cells and vascular walls, the perivascular collar of globoid acellular stroma with metachromatic reaction on toluidin blue stain was noted. The crush preparation of myxopapillary ependymoma is considered as a simple and highly accurate diagnostic tool for differentiation from other intramedullary neoplasms of central nervous system.

Stem tissues of tomato plants (cv. Kwanyang) inoculated with Phytophthora capsici were examined by light and electron microscopy to compare early cytological differences between comaptible and incompatible interactions of tomatoes with the fungus. Twenty four hours after inoculation, the compatible isolate S 197 colonized severely the epidermis, cortex, and xylem vessels of stem tissue, whereas only few fungal cells colonized the stem tissues inoculated with the incompatible isolate CBS 178.26. Fragmented plasma membrane, distorted chloroplast, degraded cell wall, remnants of host cytoplasm were early ultrastructural features of the damaged host cell observed both in the compatible and incompatible interaction, a number of vesicles were distributed in the space between fungal cell walls and plasma membrane. The degradation of host cell walls by P. capsici was more pronounced in the compatible than the incompatible interactions. The incompatible interactions of tomato cells with P. capsici were characterized by formation of host cell wall apposition in the cortical parenchyma cells, indicating that the apposition of electron-dense material from the host cell walls may function as a plant defense reaction to the fungus. The fungal cells encased by wall appositions had abnormal cytoplasm and separated plasma membranes. The haustorium which formed from the fungal hyphae did not further penetrate through the host wall apposition and cytoplasmic aggregation, especially in the incompatible reactions. In contrast, the haustorium of the compatible isolate S 197 was not encased by wall appositions.

The ultrastructure of spermatozoa in Hynobius leechii was examined with transmission electron microscope and compared with those of other urodeles and anurans. The perforatorium and the tail show most of the common feature of urodeles. However, there were several ultrastructural characteristics in an acrosome, nucleus, neck, axial rod and mitochondria related to the nucleus. The acrosome was trifoliate in transverse sections and the perforatorium consisted of two different concentric parts with a fine sharp point in a subacrosomal lumen. The nucleus consisted of two different regions of chromatin area and nuclear ridge. The nuclear ridge was composed of several bundles of five to ten minute tubular subunits of 19 nm diameter in this species, while in higher urodeles it was well developed in multi layers. The protoplasmic bead was separated by a cytoplasmic canal except the connection with only the distal portion of the nucleus. The neck was a short cylinder and contained pericentriolar material with transverse striations. In Hynobius the ring was not elongated to the tail and the mitochondria were distributed only in the protoplasmic bead around the nucleus as in Cryptobranchus, while in higher groups of urodeles it elongates to the length of the middle piece and the mitochondria follow the ring. The ring elongation may be related to the distribution of mitochondria. Hynobiidae and Cryptobranchidae are closely related based on structure of neck, the axial rod and location of mitochondria, although they are different in the composition of the axial rod.
