The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of Metaplexis japonica by using hot-water and ethanol extracts of its leaf and stem. Yields of hot-water and ethanol extracts of M. japonica leaf were high at 6.89 and 6.23%, respectively. The polyphenol and flavonoid contents in ethanol extracts of M. japonica leaf (ALEE) were high (86.96 and 60.73 mg/g, respectively). The electron-donating ability of all M. japonica extracts increased with an increase in extract concentration, with the highest electron-donating ability of 36.20~68.19% shown by hot-water extracts of M. japonica leaf (ALWE). The superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities of ALWE and ALEE increased with an increase in extract concentration. The nitrite-scavenging ability of the extracts was the highest at pH 1.2 and that of ALWE was higher than that of ALEE. The reducing power of $62.5{\mu}g/mL$ ALEE was 0.09 and that of $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ was 0.44. The inhibitory effect of an ethanol extract of M. japonica stem (ASEE) on tyrosinase was 13.81% at a concentration of $62.5{\mu}g/mL$ and that of $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ ALEE was 57.04%.

In this study, we investigated several chemical and physical characteristics of 4 weed seed fibers; Hemistepta lyrata (HEMLY), Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii (IMPCK), Metaplexis japonica (METJA) and Typha latifolia (TYPLA). In chemical composition, there were 74 (TYPLA)-88.5% (METJA) of holocellulose, 17 (IMPCK)-24% (METJA) of lignin, 0.22 (METJA)-4.2% (IMPCK) of ash, 2.2 (HEMLY)-7.8% (IMPCK) of hot water extractives and 0.4 (IMPCK)-6.3% (TYPLA) of solvent extractives. Alpha-cellulose proportion to holocellulose was similar among weed seed fibers as 45-48%. The crystallinity index (CI) of raw seed fibers was 53.2 (TYPLA)-65.9% (HEMLY). However, CI of the chemical treated fibers (EDA fibers) was a little increased and showed 61.1 (IMPCK)-71.8% (METJA). The maximum thermal decomposition temperature (MTDT) of the raw seed fibers were 312, 321.8, 331.5 and $341.6^{\circ}C$ in METJA, TYPLA, HEMLY and IMPCK, respectively. But the MTDT of the EDA fibers were 327, 327, 341.7 and $360.0^{\circ}C$ in HEMLY, TYPLA, METJA and IMPCK, respectively. Taken together, they showed a similar or better characteristics compared to the reported or commercial natural fiber resourses. Accordingly, they seem to be practically applicable as renewable resources for a new natural fibers.

This research was conducted to determine contents of saponins and alkloids for plants distributed in the sourthern region of Korea. The extracts from each plants were purified by solvent fractionation, column chromatography, TLC and analyzed GC and HPLC. As a result, contents crude gingseng saponins and saikosaponins were the highest in Oenothera odorata and Metaplexis japonica, respectively. and contents crude alkaloids was the highest in Metaplexis japonica among the all plants xamined. HPLC was conducted to detect of saponins. As a result, ginseng saponin-like substances was detected in the extracts of Euphobia splendens, Taraxacum mongolicum and Metaplexis japonica, gingsen-like substances and its of saikosaponin c-like substances was detected in the extracts of Camellia japonica and Aleurites fordii. GC was conducted to detect of alkaloid. As a result, nicotine-like substances was detected in only the extracts of Fatsia japonica.

The palynological characters of 14 taxa of 4 genera (Cynanchum, Metaplexis, Tylophora, Marsdenia) in Asclepiadoideae were observed and measured using SM and SEM. The orientation and granulate surface patterns of the pollinia were important characters for delimitating the genera. The position of the attachment of the translator arms to the pollinia, considered to be an important character for recognizing the above genera, was an overlapping character among the genera and can therefore be utilized only as taxonomy at the species level. Also, we found for the first time that only Tylophora floribunda has an incised margin of the corpusculum. The quantitative characters of the pollinia, arms and corpusculum were useful keys for the delimitation of the species.

최근 안전한 먹거리 생산과 치유, 교육 등 다양한 목적으로 도시농업에 참여하는 인구가 늘어남에 따라 도시텃밭의 농약, 비료 사용 등으로 인한 환경오염과 해충 피해, 농산물의 건강성 등 다양한 문제가 제기되고 있다. 따라서 도시텃밭 작물의 생육 증진, 잔류농약 문제 해결 등 농산물 안정성 증가에 기여하고자 식물추출물을 활용한 엇갈이 배추의 생육특성을 조사하였다. 선행연구 결과를 바탕으로 자원식물류 5종(쇠비름, 소리쟁이, 명아주, 박주가리, 환삼덩굴)과 허브류 5종(메리골드, 서던우드, 캐모마일, 애플민트, 로즈마리), 식용작물류 5종(양파, 마늘, 부추, 차즈기, 들깨) 등 추출 대상 식물 15종을 60℃에서 3일간 건조시켜 마쇄하였다. 이후 각 식물체 100g을 35% 에틸알코올 1,000ml에서 7일간 추출하였다. 추출물은 30%로 희석하여 주 2회씩 총 3주간 배추에 엽면살포하였다. 엽면적, 엽수, 지상부 및 지하부 생체중 등 생육특성을 7일 간격으로 조사하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 엽면적과 엽폭은 환삼덩굴 처리구에서 104.58cm²와 9.80cm로 가장 넓었고, 엽장은 박주가리 처리구에서 25.24cm로 가장 길었으며, 지하부 생체중은 메리골드 처리구에서 6.24g으로 가장 높았다. 엽수는 애플민트와 마늘 처리구에서 6.4개로 가장 많았고, 지상부 생체중과 엽록소는 집단 간 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 전반적으로 무처리 대비 엽면적 22%, 엽폭 18%의 유의한 생장 차이를 보인 환삼덩굴 추출물과 엽면적 12%, 엽장 17%의 생장 차이를 보인 박주가리 추출물, 엽면적 10%, 엽폭 9%의 생장 차이를 보인 양파 추출물이 엇갈이 배추 생육에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과 환삼덩굴, 박주가리, 양파 등 일부 식물추출물이 엇갈이 배추의 생육을 증진시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타나 주말농장 등 도시텃밭에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다. 향후 식물추출물의 효과성을 증진시키기 위해 추출 방법과 적정 농도, 보관 시기 등에 대한 연구와 함께 도시텃밭 해충방제 효과를 알아보기 위한 약해검정과 살충효과를 분석할 필요성이 있다.

Life cycle of Tropidothorax cruciger(Motschulsky) was studied on Cynanchum wilfordii Hemsley in the field as well as its development, overwintering patterns, and host preferences. Overwintered adults appeared in early and mid May, and the first generation adults emerged from late June extending to mid August. Second generation adults which usually overwinter, appeared from mid September to early October and were usually found beneath the soil surface or fallen leaves in winter. Adults were not attracted to various light sources. T. cruciger showed host preferences specifically toward Metapiexis japonica and Cynanchum wilfordii, both in the family of Asclepiadaceae.

Ten flavonol glycosides were isolated from the EtOAc fraction of the MeOH extract of Metaplexis japonica Makino. Structures of the flavonoids were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data and comparison with literature values. The flavonoids were found to be mostly common flavonol 3-glycosides. It is of interest that the sacchaide parts of the isolates were pairs of arabinosides, glucosides, galactosides, rutinosides and robinobiosides of kaempferol and quercetin. All of these compounds were isolated for the first time from this plant.
