The purpose of this study was to determine antioxidant and physiological activities of water and 70% ethanol extracts from Ligularia fischeri by extraction methods. The yield of water and ethanol extracts from Ligularia fischeri was 15.23% and 17.45%, respectively. The polyphenol and flavonoid contents of ethanol extracts of Ligularia fischeri (LEE) were $17.17{\pm}4.38mg/g$, $35.06{\pm}6.69mg/g$, respectively. The electron donating ability and SOD like activity, and ABTS radical ability of all Ligularia fischeri extracts were increased in a dose dependent manner, and those was the highest in LEE. Nitrite scavenging ability was higher in pH 1.2 than that in pH 3.0, and ethanol extract showed higher ability in pH 1.2 and 3.0. The xanthine oxidase and inhibition effect of all Ligularia fischeri extracts on tyrosinase were dose-dependently increased, and those was the highest in ethanol extracts of Ligularia fischeri. Reducing power was 1.2 at extract concentration $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ in water and ethanol extracts of Ligularia fischeri and the highest in water extract of Ligularia fischeri at concentration of $62.5-500{\mu}g/mL$. These results may contribute to development of processed food and health functional food with Ligularia fischeri.

The photosynthetic characteristics of three Ligularia species, L. fischeri, L. fischeri var. spiciformis and L. stenocephala under-tree cultivated in Dunnae-myeon, Hoengsung-gun were measured and compared. Total mean photosynthetic rate increased with increasing the light intensity up to 2,000 PPFD. Mean photosynthetic rate of L. fischeri increased to maximum value of $21.1{\mu}mol\;CO_{2}m^{-2}s^{-1}$ with increasing the light intensity up to 1,600 PPFD, but it was decreased at 2,000 PPFD. The highest photosynthetic rate was shown in L. fischeri var. spiciformis, followed by L. fischeri, and L. stenocephala. was the highest $27.39{\mu}mol\;CO_{2}m^{-2}s^{-1}$ among three species, followed by that of The differences in photosynthetic rates were significantly different among the species each measuring date. L. fischeri var. spiciformis was more adaptive species at the low elevated under-tree cultivated sites, such as, Sanchemaeul Dunnae-myeon Hoeyngseung-gun than L. fischeri and L. stenocephala.

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of collected region(Bongpyeong in Gangwon, 690 m, Mt. Halla in Jeju, 1,085 m), pre-treatment (stratification, soaked in distilled water or $GA_3$) and shading (control, 50%, 80%) on seed emergence and seedlings growth of Ligularia fischeri. The result showed that seed emergence (%) of L. fischeri were 6.9~75.5% (Gangwon : 6.9~32.8%, Halla : 22.2~75.5%). Maximum seed emergence (%) of 32.8 (Gangwon) and 75.5 (Halla) were achieved for seeds were stratified, soaked in distilled water, and under non-shading for L. fischeri (Gangwon), whereas seeds were stratified, soaked in $GA_3$ 100 ppm, and under 80% shading for L. fischeri (Halla). In this study, the best seedling vigor index (SVI) of L. fischeri (Gangwon) and L. fischeri (Halla) were obtained when seeds were stratified, soaked in distilled water, and under 50% shading. The survival rate of potted seedlings for L. fischeri (Halla) were 100% of all shading conditions, but there were decreased by 77.8%, 61.1%, 55.6%, as an increasing shading rate (con, 50%, 80%) for L. fischeri (Gangwon). Therefore, good seedlings were obtained when seed (Mt. Halla) of L. fischeri were stratified, soaked in distilled water, and under 50% shading, and then seedlings were transferred in pot.

국화과(Compositae) 다년생 초본인 곰취속(Ligularia)은 국내에 약 9종이 자생하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 이 중 곰취 (L. fischeri (Ledeb.) Turcz.)와 곤달비 (L. stenocephala (Maxim.) Matsum. & Koidz.)는 잎을 생체로 식용하는 대표적인 산채자원으로 최근 웰빙 채소의 소비가 증가하면서 곰취와 곤달비를 비롯한 다양한 산채자원에 대한 생리활성 연구가 다수 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 동일 기간에 수확한 국내 각 지역에서 재배 생산되는 곰취와 곤달비의 온수추출물($45^{\circ}C$)을 대상으로 총 페놀 및 플라보노이드 함량을 분석 비교하였다. 총 페놀함량은 Folin-Ciocalteu법으로 측정하였고, 8.08-19.06 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g dry weight의 함량을 나타냈다. 또한 총 플라보노이드 함량은 Aluminum chloride법으로 측정하였으며, 4.01-18.91 mg quercetin equivalent(QE)/g dry weight 범위에서 값이 확인되었다. 통계 분석 결과, 총 페놀함량은 곰취와 곤달비 종간에 차이가 없었으나 폴라보노이드 함량의 경우, 통계적 유의차를 보이며 곤달비의 평균 플라보노이드 함량이 상대적으로 더 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 한편, 총 페놀함량에서는 곰취와 곤달비 모두 재배 지역 간에 차이를 보였으나 총 플라보노이드 함량은 곰취 개체(지역) 간 차이가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 곰취와 곤달비 외 기타 산채자원들을 활용한 건강기능식품 개발 연구의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있으며, 추후 구체적인 생리활성 연구와 형태적으로 매우 유사한 두 종간 명확한 기원정립 연구가 함께 이루어진다면 재배 생산 유통 안전성을 높여 농가 소득 증대 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Ligularia fischeri powder on the functional and sensory characteristics of Mandupi. Various Mandupi samples were prepared with wheat flour by addition of different amounts of Ligularia fischeri powder, and instrumental characteristics and sensory evaluations were then investigated. Based on amylograph data, the composite of Ligularia fischeri powder and wheat flour samples increased its gelatinization temperatures depending on increasing of Ligularia fischeri powder content. However, viscosities at $95^{\circ}C$ and after 15 min, and maximum viscosity were reduced. In terms of Hunter's color values, L and a values decreased, while b value increased with the increase of Ligularia fischeri powder content. In addition, weight, volume and turbidity of Mandupis prepared with Ligularia fischeri powder were significantly greater than those of control. In terms of textural characteristics, springiness, chewiness and brittleness increased whereas adhesiveness decreased with the addition of Ligularia fischeri powder. Sensory evaluations showed that the overall preference of Mandupi with the addition of 3% Ligularia fischeri powder was greater than that of wheat flour only.

This study was carried out to establish a proper cultivation condition and diagnose the drought-tolerance of three wild edible greens belonging to genus of Ligularia by using pressure-volume curves methods. The result of the original bulk osmotic pressure at maximum turgor ${\Psi}_{\circ}{^{sat}}$ was -0.8 MPa in Ligularia fischeri and L. stenocephala, which was somewhat lower than the value, -0.7 MPa, in L. fischeri var. spiciformis. In addition, the values of the osmotic pressure at incipient plasmolysis ${\Psi}_{\circ}{^{tlp}}$ in L. fischeri and L. stenocephala, both of which were -0.9 MPa, These were slightly lower than that of -0.8 MPa in L. fischeri var. spiciformis. On the other hand, it appeared that the values of maximum bulk modulus of elasticity $E_{max}$ of L. fischeri and L. stenocephala were approximately two times higher than that of L. fischeri var. spiciformis. However, There was a distinct difference between the values of the relative water contents in these three species. Therefore, Ligularia spp, occurring incipient plasmolysis in the high water contents, have a relatively low property of drought-tolerance, suggesting that growth of those Ligularia spp. are appropriate for relative moisture forest.

After Gomchui tea was prepared from leaves of Ligularia fischeri (Ledeb.) Turcz by blanching method, the antioxidant activity of major compounds in Gomchui tea was assessed. On-line HPLC-ABTS analysis revealed that caffeoylquinic acids (chlorogenic acids), such as 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA), 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3,4-DCQA), 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3,5-DCQA) and 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (4,5-DCQA), were the major antioxidant compounds in Gomchui tea. The extraction efficiency of these compounds were examined in the various conditions such as extraction temperature, time and solvent. The results demonstrated that the extraction amount with water increased in proportion to extraction time (1~10 min) and temperature ($8{\sim}80^{\circ}C$). These active compounds were also extracted with water even at $8^{\circ}C$ (60% of $80^{\circ}C$), indicating that water is very good extraction solvent for extraction of these antioxidant constituents. However, the extraction efficiency of these compounds decreased when ethanol percentage in water increased. The extraction efficiency between Gomchui powder (no blanching) and tea was significantly different, and 60% of total antioxidant compounds in tea was removed from fresh leaves into water in blanching process, especially 3,5-DCQA (over 90%). Meanwhile, the sonication method didn't affect the extraction of these compounds in all solvents. These results suggest that Gomchui tea can be a good candidate for the tea beneficial to human health.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of growth regulators, temperature, and light on the germination of Chwinamul(Aster scaber, Aster tataricus, Synurus deltoides, Solidago virga-aurea var. asiatica, Ligularia fisheri) seeds. Compared to GA, IAA, and kinetin, BA (150ppm) stimulated best seed germination of all five species under the both light and dark condition at $25^{\circ}C$. The effect of growth regulators was not observed significantly under the light condition except of Ligularia fisheri and Synurus deltoides while it was shown markedly under the dark condition. Germination rates of Ligularia fisheri and Synurus deltoides in different concentration of BA were relatively higher under the light at $15^{\circ}C$ while those of other species varied in different concentration and temperature.

In this study, we examined the effects of antioxidant, lipid peroxidation inhibition and suppression of UVA-induced MMP-1 expression in human dermal fibroblasts. Ligularia fischeri extract showed free radical scavenging effect by 82.3% at 5 mg/mL and superoxide radical scavenging effect by 79.3% at 5 mg/mL in the kanthine/xanthine oxidase system, respectively. At the concentration of $500{\mu}g/mL$, L. fischeri extract showed 97% inhibition on lipid peroxidation of linoleic acid. UVA induced MMP expression in human dermal fibroblasts was reduced 35% by treatment with $100{\mu}g/mL$ of L. fischeri extract. These results suggest that L. fischeri extract can be used for an anti-aging agent by antioxidation, lipid peroxidation inhibition and reducing UVA-induced MMP-1 production.

This study was conducted to compare fragrance and volatile chemicals of essential oils in Gom-chewi (Ligularia fischeri) and Handaeri Gom-chewi (Ligularia fischeri var. spicifoprmis). Essential oils were extracted by steam distillation of leaves of Gom-chewi (GC) and Handaeri Gom-chewi (HGC), after which samples were collected by solid-phase micro extraction and the compositions of the essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The yields of the essential oils in GC and HGC were 0.12% and 0.04%, respectively, and the threshold levels of the essential oils in GC and HGC were 0.01% and 0.1%, respectively. There were 19 constituents of the essential oil of Gom-chewi: 14 carbohydrates, 4 alcohols, and 1 acetate, and the major constituents were L-${\beta}$-pinene (36.02%), D-limonene (25.64%), ${\alpha}$-pinene (24.85%) and ${\beta}$-phellandrene (5.39%). In the essential oil of HGC, 25 constituents were identified: 17 carbohydrates, 4 alcohols, 3 acetates, and 1 N-containing compound, and the major constituents of HGC were D-limonene (39.74%), L-${\beta}$-pinene (35.43%) and ${\alpha}$-pinene (11.94%). The minor constituents of HGC were ${\rho}$-cymene, ${\gamma}$-muurolene, ${\gamma}$-cadinene, germacrene D, ingol 12-acetate and butyl 9,12,15-octadecatriene and nimorazole were not identified in the GC essential oil. Overall, the results showed that the fragrance and chemical compositions of essential oils in GC and HGC differed, suggesting that both essential oils could be used for the development of perfumery products.
