At concentrations with little or no cytotoxicity, C. arvensis extract indicates the ability of high DPPH radical scavenging, inhibited tyrosinase activity, and decreased melanin content. The treatment of B16F10 cells with C. arvensis extract suppressed the protein expression of tyrosinase a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that C. arvensis extract inhibits melanin synthesis by inhibiting tyrosinase expression and tyrosinase activity. In addition, C. arvensis extract showed antimicrobial activities against bacteria and yeast. These results indicate that C. arvensis extract may serve as nutraceutical and cosmeceutical agents.

현대사회에서 스트레스, 환경오염 등으로 인하여 중년남성의 전유물로 여겨져 왔던 탈모가 젊은 사람들에게서도 나타나며, 탈모로 고민하는 인구가 약 700만 명 이상으로 추산되고 계속해서 증가하는 추세이다. 우리나라 탈모관련 시장은 현재 약 4조원 규모이며 지속적인 성장세에 있으며, 주로 한약재등 천연추출물을 혼합하여 제품화하였다. 본 연구에서는 어성초, 금잔화 70% 에탄올 추출물을 이용하여 천연발모제 소재화를 목적으로 섬유아세포, 모유두세포, 지방전구세포에 대한 세포독성 및 지방전구세포 분화를 통한 발모 효능을 확인하여 약용작물을 이용한 향장품 소재화를 시도하고자 한다. 섬유아세포에 각 시료에 대한 세포 독성을 확인한 결과는 어성초 70% 에탄올 추출물을 50, 100, $500{\mu}g/mL$으로 처리하였을 때 107.3%, 109.6%, 128.2%로 세포 생존율이 증가하였다. 모유두세포에 대한 각 시료의 세포 독성은 나타나지 않았으며, 모발의 생육을 촉진하는 혈소판에서 유래하는 성장인자를 분비하여 모발 재생에 효과를 나타내는 지방전구 세포의 지방 분화 확인 결과 금잔화와 어성초 70% 에탄올 추출물을 $10{\mu}g/mL$의 농도로 처리하였을 때 각각 104.3%, 103.9%의 분화율을 나타내었고, 어성초 출물의 경우 처리 농도의 증가에 따라 지방분화율이 유의적으로 크게 증가하였다. 본 연구를 통해 육모용 모발제품 소재 개발을 위한 생약초 자원들의 in-vitro 육모활성관련 실험 결과 어성초와 금잔화는 각 세포에 대한 독성을 나타내지 않았으며, 어성초 70% 에탄올 추출물은 지방전구세포를 자극하여 지방 분화를 유도하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이상과 같은 결과로 어성초와 금잔화 70% 에탄올 추출물은 탈모관련 향장품 개발 소재로 높은 가능성을 가지고 있는 것으로 생각된다.

This experiment was conducted to determine optimal hot-air drying time for producing antioxidative calendula tea. The edible calendula was dried in hot air at $60^{\circ}C$ for 5, 10, 15 hours and Hunter's color value was measured and extracted with 95% ethanol as a solvent. The contents of total polyphenol, total flavonoid, total carotenoid and DPPH (2,2 Dipheny-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity were investigated. The correlation between the amount of antioxidant and antioxidant activity was analyzed. As the treatment time increased, the Hunter values of L, a, and b tended to decrease, and the L value and b value decreased significantly at 15 hours. The color change was occurred in all treatments compared with the control, and the total color difference (${\Delta}E$) was the largest at 15 hours treatment. The contents of total flavonoids, total carotenoids and DPPH scavenging activity increased in the 5 hours, but decreased in the 15 hours compared to the 10 hours. The content of total polyphenol was not changed with different treatment time. A positive correlation ($p{\leq}0.01$, r = 0.610) between carotenoids and DPPH radical scavenging activity was demonstrated. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was increased at 5 and 10 hours compared to the control and decreased at 15 hours. Therefore, 5 hours or 10 hours of treatment is appropriate and further studies are needed to determine the specific treatment time.

Edible flowers are harvested at the full bloom stage and distributed without floral stems, which makes the flower quality deteriorated quickly. Thereby, this study was carried out for selection of effective storage film at room temperature during the distribution of edible flowers. Edible flowers, snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus), pot-marigold (Calendula officinalis), sweet violet (Viola odorata), clove pink (Dianthus caryophyllus), wild pansy (Viola tricolor), nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) were used to select the effective storage film at room temperature during the distribution, polyethylene (PE) film (0.03 mm), polypropylene (PP) film (0.03 mm). PP (LF10) film packing was very effective for longer shelf life for sweet violet, clove pink, and wild pansy. But, there were little different for pot-marigold and nasturtium. Wilting at sweet violet, clove pink, and wild pansy, and petal-soft rot and color break at nasturtium were appeared. Browning and rot were appeared to snapdragon.

$SO_2$ gas injuries for 19 varieties of 10 species of plants were investigated within a environmentally controlled growth chamber. Visible injuries were observed when exposing the plants either 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.7 or 1.5ppm of $SO_2$ gas for 5 days from 9 : 00 to 17 : 00 everyday. The results obtained were as follows: 1.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of Calendula officinalis extract (CE) on the activation of murine lymphocytes and macrophages. CE was administered p.o. once a day for 7 days at the concentration of 500 mg/kg. The administration of CE increased the viability of thymocytes, but decreased the viability of splenocytes. Also, CE increased the viability of thymocytes and splenocytes at the concentration of $5{\mu}g$/ml in vitro. The administration of CE did not affect the population of thymic $CD4^+$/$CD8^+$ cells and splenic $CD4^+$/$CD8^+$ cells. Furthermore, the administration of CE enhanced the phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages, but decreased the phagocytic activity in vitro. CE decreased the production of nitric oxide from peritoneal macrophages in vivo and in vitro system. These results suggest that CE enhance of cell viability by a direct influence on thymocytes and phagocytic activity by an indirect influence on peritoneal macrophages.

The present investigation was initiated to find out the possible insect vector of the paulownia witches'-broom virus disease. 1. Among a number of piercing-sucking mouth type insects that were feeding on the witches'-broom infected Paulownia leaves, the tobacco leaf bug, Cyrtopeltis tenuis REUTER, was most abundant. Eggs, nymphs and adults of Cyrtopeltis tenuis were observed from the mid-August through the end of October. 2. It was found that Paulownia witches'-broom virus is transmitted by Cyrotopeltis tenuis. 3. On young Pnulownia plants, first symptom appeared twenty days after exposure to virus-bearing colonies of Cyrtopeltis tenuis. Forty days after exposure to these viruliferous insects, the characteristic symptom of Paulownia witches'-broom was apparent. 4. Paulownia witches' -broom virus was also transmitted by Cyrtopeltis tenuis to calendula and morning glory. No app"rent symptom was observed from tomato, carrot. aster, zinnia, cosmos, soybean and plantago at least until sixty days after exposure to the viruliferous colonies of Cyrtopeltis tenuis. 5. Calendula and morning glory appear to be highly suitable test plants for Paulownia witches'-broom vims because of their relatively short incubation period and distinct symptom appearance.

In the study, the feasibility of deposit soil in river and stream bed as a subsitute for conventional plant soil was investigated through the analysis of soil characteristics and germination/growth rate for 75 days. Proper mixtures among sediments from various places were compared to optimize the germination and growth rate of plant in the ratio of 2 : 1 and 3 : 1 (sand : deposit). From the results, it could be concluded that the sediment mixed 3 : 1 showed most favorable germination and growth conditions for pansy and the sediment containing enough amount of silt and clay components showed most favorable conditions for marigold. Consequently, the feasibility of sediments as a substitutional plant soil was evaluated to be high, once the sediments were properly mixed for each specific plant.
