The purpose of this study was to investigate the release of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and other compounds from cell wall materials(CWM) and their cellulose fraction from carrot with chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis. To investigate this effect on cell wall chemistry of carrot, alcohol insoluble residue(AIR) of CWM were prepared and were extracted sequentially with water, imidazole, CDTA(-1, -2), Na$_2$CO$_3$(-1, -2), KOH(0.5, 1.0 and 4M), to leave a residue. These were analysed for their carbohydrate and phenolic acids composition. Arabinose and galactose were the main noncellulosic sugars. Phenolics esterified to cell walls in carrot were found to consist primarily of p-hydroxybenzoic acid with minor contribution from vanillin, ferulic acid and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde. p-Hydroxybenzoic acid was quite strongly bound to the cell wall. The contents of p-hydroxybenzoic acid in 0.5M KOH, Na$_2$CO$_3$-2, IM KOH, and ${\alpha}$-cellulose were 2,097, 1,360, 1,140, and 717 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g AIR from CWM, respectively. Alkali labile unknown aromatic compound(C$\sub$7/H$\sub$10/O$_2$) was found in ${\alpha}$ -cellulose hydrolyzate digested with driselase and cellulase. This compound was also found in hydrolyzate of 2 M trifluoroacetic acid at 120$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Driselase treatment solubilized only 46.6 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g of the p-hydroxybenzoic acid from carrot AIR. These results indicate that p-hydroxybenzoic acid was associated with neutral polysaccharides, long chain galactose and branched arabinan from graded alcohol precipitation.

Improved methods for the isolation and purification of conidial protoplast were investigated and conidial proplast from auxotrophic mutants were fused. The reaction time for isolation of protoplasts from the swollen condiospores preincubated in liquid minimal medium supplimented with 2-deoxy-D-glucose was shorten by reaction with mixture of 2% driselase and 2% ${\beta}-glucuronidase$ (1:1). The conidial protoplast could be highly purified by using 5% Ficoll 400 as a centrifugation medium. Nucleus of the conidial protoplast was stained with Giemsa stain and the conidial protoplast had one nucleus. It was also confirmed that the conidial protoplast was true protoplast with no cell wall remnant at the outside of plasma menbrane. Fusion frequencies of the conidial protoplast from auxotrophic mutants ranged from $3.4{\times}10^{-1}\;to\;4.9{\times}10^{-1}$. These values were higher than those of mycelial protoplast by a factor of 5 to 28.

Protoplasts isolated from leaf mesophyll tissues of Populus koreana ${\times}$ P. nigra var. italica were fused with those of P. euramericana cv. Guardi. Well expended healthy leaves of 5 to 7 week-old-plantlet grown in vitro were used as source materials. Leaves from P. koreana ${\times}$ P. nigra var. italica and P. euramericana cv. Guardi were digested in enzyme solution I (2.0% Cellulase, 1.2% Hemicellulase, 0.4% Macrozyme, 2.0% Driselase, 0.05% Pectolyase ; w/v) and enzyme solution II (1.0% Cellulase, 1.2% Hemicellulase, 0.4% Macrozyme, 2.0% Driselase, 0.05% Pectolyase ; w/v), respectively, The highest frequency of fusion among the protoplasts originated from the two source materials was approximately 21% using 40% PEG or 15% dextran. In addition, fusion frequency was enhanced by incorporating 30mM of $Ca^{2+}$ in eluting solution at pH 10.5. Dividing cells and/or mint-calli were obtained by culturing the fusion products in a liquid 8p-KM medium supplemented with 0.6M sucrose, $0.45{\mu}M$ 2, 4-D, and $0.5{\mu}M$ BA. Shoots were regenerated from the fusion product-derived calli after culture on MS medium containing $5.0{\mu}M$ zeatin. To verify the putative hybrid or cybrid, SDS-PAGE was carried out. From the 24 regenerants, just two plants showed intermediate protein band patterns compared with those of the original source plants.

The optimum conditions of protoplasts formation from Pyricularia oryzae were investigated with lytic enzymes and osmotic stabilizers. The mycelia were begun to refease the protoplasts in response to the complex enzyme solution after 30-60 minutes and reached to maximum after 2-3hrs. Among the lytic enzymes tested, the mixture solution containing ${\beta}-Glucuronidase$(0.01 ml/ml), Cellulase ONOZUKA-RS(20mg/ml), Driselase (10mg/ml), and Macerozyme R-10 (10mg/ml) resulted in the highest rate of protoplasts releasing of Pyricularia oryzae. The best stabilizer was 0.6M KCl at pH 7.0. Shen the mycelia were digested with enzyme mixture, the stationary culture was better than shaking culture for higher protoplast formation.

In order to develop the protoplast fusion method of the strains of Fusarium, the interspecific protoplast fusion was attempted between Fusarium poae and F. sporotrichioides. Various auxotrophic mutants were isolated by the treatment of N-Methyl-N'-Nitro-N-Nitrosoguanidine. The optimal conditions for the formation and regeneration of protoplasts were examined and the characteristics of a fusant were studied. As a results, protoplasts were readily obtained from 18 hours cultured mycelia by the treatment of driselase for 3 hours and 0.6 M KCl as a best osmotic stabilizer at pH 6.0 for the formation of protoplast. Sucrose was the most suitable for the regeneration. Polyetylene glycol (M.W. 8,000) in $CaCl_{2}$-glycine solution was used to induce the protoplast fusion. The interspecific fusion frequency between protoplasts among the auxotrophic mutants of the two strains ranged from $2.7*10^{-2}$ to $5.7*10^{-3}$ . DNA content and cellulase activity were rather increased in the interspecific fusant. The lag phase of growth curve was slightly elongated in the fusant.

Conditions for production, fusion and reversion of protoplasts of Aspergillus niger were investigated, and an attempt was made to enhance fusion frequency. Auxotrophic mutants and morphological mutants were induced by U.V. irradiation $(9.9\;erg/mm^2,\;13min)$ on Aspergillus niger. Maximum yield of protoplasts was obtained from 21 hr cultured mycelia by using 1% driselase in 0.6 M KCl or 0.6 M $NH_4Cl$ as osmotic stabilizer. The optimal temperature for mycelium digestion was $30^{\circ}C$, and the optimal pH was 6.0. Protoplasts produced at different digestion period showed heterogeneity in size and vacuole content. Maximal frequency of protoplasts reversion was obtained on 0.6 M KCl stabilized agar medium at pH 5.0. Reversion frequencies of protoplasts produced for 3 hr and 1 hr mycelial digestion were 8.0% and 15.3%, respectively. The optimal concentration of PEG(m.w. 6000) for protoplast fusion was 30%, and that of $CaCl_2$ was $1{\sim}50\;mM$. The optimal pH and period for the reaction of PEG solution were 8.0 and 10 minutes, respectively. Fusion frequencies between auxotrophic protoplasts produced for 3 hr-mycelial digestion were $0.06{\sim}0.42%$, and those for 1 hr-mycelial digestion were $0.09{\sim}0.54%$.

This study was rimed out to examine the difference in the cell vitality between mesophyII protoplast (MP) and paraveinal mesophyII protoplast (PVMP) of Nicotiana tabaccum 'Xanti', Petunia hybrida 'Blue Star' and Chrysanthemum morifolium 'Baeckwang' by using urea permeability technique. The effects of various enzyme solutions and incubation time, NAA and thidiazron on plant regeneration from isolated protoplasts were also investigated. The vibratome technique was used for protoplast isolation and urea permeability test because the fresh living, thin tissue stripes (50 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of thickness) could be obtained with minimal damage with the vibratome. For the three plants examined, the urea permeability on the tested tissue stripes was relatively higher in PVMP than in MP by about Ks = 2.0 $\times$ 10$^{-5}$ cm/sec. The treatment of an enzyme mixture of 1.5% cellulase R-10, 1% Driselase, 0.5% Macerozyme R-10, and 0.5% Pectinase for 4 to 8 h was effective on the isolation of PVMP. The highest frequency of callus formation and plant regeneration from the isolated protoplasts was obtained with NAA 2 mg/L and thidiazuron 0.01 mg/L. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that cell devision and plantlet regeneration was more frequent in the PVMP than in the MP of the same leaf or plant We, therefore, conclude that UM is an excellent experimental material for the callus formation and regeneration from isolated protoplasts.

Ginseng cotyledon calli were cultured on 1/2MS media supplemented with combination of various growth regulators to induce more embryoids and plantlets in a short period. And tissues of ginseng root and calli were also incubated under various factors or conditions to establish methods for the isolation of viable protoplasts in Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer. The calli derived from cotyledon produced numerous embryoids in 1/2MS media containing 0.5mg/$\ell$ 2,4-D and 0.5mg/$\ell$ kinetin after 2 months' culture. But only shoot formation was less frequent. Further development of these embryoids occurred on 1/2MS medium supplemented with the same concentration of BA and GA. Viable protoplasts were isolated from the root tissue and callus of ginseng. The specific conditions for the isolation of viable protoplasts were required of ginseng materials, root tissue and callus, being processed. For the production of viable protoplasts from 1-year old ginseng root tissue, an enzyme mixture of $2\%$ cellulase 'Ono-zuka' and $0.5\%$ macerozyme, an enzyme solution pH of 5.2 to 5.8, a 7- to 8- hour incubation period at $28{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, and 0.9M mannitol as osmoticum in the cell enzyme mixture were optimum, while the treatments with an enzyme mixture of $2\%$ cellulase 'Onozuka', $2\%$ macerozyme and $1\%$ driselase, and 25-hour incubation period at $28{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, were more efficient for the production of viable protoplasts from ginseng callus.
