An understanding of oocyte gene expression is a necessary for the study of early female gamete development. Recently, oocyte has been used in many techniques such as somatic cell nuclear transfer, intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryonic stem cell derivation. The purpose of this study was to investigate in the proteomes of pig oocytes and identification of differential proteins between using DIGE technique. In this experiment to overcome of limitation of 2D gel method like a low reproducibility and low sensitivity for proteome analysis of very small quantities, 2D fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE), which enables co-detection of up to three samples on the same 2DE gels with CyDyes was used for analysis of oocyte proteins. Proteins within an isoelectric point (pI) range of 3 to 10 and a molecular weight (Mw) range of 20～100 kDa were primarily analyzed in DIGE with 2 replications of each sample. Approximately 1000 spots were detected in 2-D gel. Then, image analysis of DeCyder was performed to detect variations in protein spots between mature oocyte and parthenogenesis embryo. In the comparison of mature oocyte and parthenogenesis embryo, 11 spots were identified to be up-regulated proteins and 2 spots to be down-regulated proteins in parthenogenesis embryo, among which proteins were zona pellucida glycoprotein 4, transferrin receptor, apolipoprotein B, L-3-Hydroxyacyl Coa Dehydrogenase Revisited, cytochrome P450 2C33, similar to Monocarboxylate transporter 2, 2'-5' oligoadenylate synthetase 3, interferon alpha/ beta receptor-1, Chloride channel protein 6, pyruvate carboxylase as well as2'-5' oligoadenylate synthetase 3 using MALDI-TOF-MS. These results suggested that differential proteins were present between mature oocyte and parthenogenesis embryo.

Mature embryos were aseptically excised with a scalpel and sliced in fragments measuring 0.5 mm in diameter (sliced mature embryo fragment; 4 ~~ 5 fragments/one embryo). Sliced mature embryo fragments of six wheat cultivars were cultured to develop an efficient method of callus induction and plant regeneration. Callus derived from sliced mature embryo fragments showed a good capacity to embryogenesis and regeneration. Furthermore sliced mature embryo fragments decreased contamination from fungi and bacteria. The high efficiency of callus induction were obtained Keumkangmil and Bob­white. For plant regeneration, selected embryogenic calli were transferred to two types regeneration media. An average number of green spots per callus was 4 to 5 in regeneration media after about one week. Percentage of plant regeneration showed high in regeneration medium containing 0.1 mg/l 2,4-D and 5 mg/l zeatin. Especially, Keumkangmil (27.5~% ) and Bobwhite (33.3~% ) showed high regeneration efficiency. This regeneration system from sliced mature embryo fragments may provide an effective and convenient explant for plant transformation studies

Mature embryo and leaf base segment of Korean oat were used as materials in an experiment to check plant regeneration efficiency. MS media supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), kinetin, and picloram were used for callus induction from mature embryos and leaf base segments. Three mg/l of 2,4­D and 3 mg/l of picloram in callus induction medium showed high frequency for plant regeneration from mature embryos. Leaf base segments were transferred to callus induction medium and incubated at 25~circC in 16/8 hr light/dark cycle for 3 weeks. Callus induction from leaf base segments of Malgwiri showed high efficiency in medium containing 3 mg/l of 2,4-D and 1 mg/l of kinetin (91.8~%) . In case of Samhangwiri, the combinations of phytohormones did not show significant difference. Regeneration from leaf base segments showed high frequency in shoot medium containing 1 mg/l of antiauxin, tri-iodobenzoic acid (TIBA) and 1 mg/l of 6-benzyladenine (BA). Calli induced from leaf base segments of Samhangwiri and Malgwiri in media containing 3 mg/l of 2,4-D and 3 mg/l of picloram showed high regeneration frequency. It appears that the callus initiation medium may be an important factor for subsequent plant regeneration.

Immature and mature embryos of 18 Korean wheat genotypes were cultured in vitro to develop an efficient method of callus formation and plant regeneration, and to compare the responses of both embryo cultures. Immature and mature embryos were placed on a solid agar medium containing the MS salts and vitamins, 30g/l maltose, 2 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and amino acids. The developed calli were maintained on regeneration medium containing MS salts and B5 vitamins, 20 g/l sucrose, and the combination of two plant growth regulators, 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Immature embryos in most genotypes showed high efficiency of callus induction except three genotypes; Eunpamil, Chunggemil, and Namhaemil, and significant differences among the genotypes. Plant regeneration of calli induced from immature embryos showed high efficiency in Geurumil (56.5%), Tapdongmil (50.5%), Gobunmil (45.5%), and Urimil(42.2%). The analysis of variance showed significant differences for regeneration frequency among the genotypes. Mature embryos showed low callus induction frequency compared with that in immature embryos, and significant differences among the genotypes. Plant regeneration of calli induced from mature embryos showed high efficiency in Keumkangmil (33.33%), Tapdongmil(28.13%), and Geurumil (27.78%). The analysis of variance showed significant differences for plant regeneration frequency among the genotypes.
