  • The larval instar of Scintillatrix djingischani OBENBERGER WES determined by measuring the head width of the larvae, some of which were bred in the room and the other collected in orchards during four years(1963-1966). Their growth ratio and variation were also studied. 1) The variation curve of the head width of the Iarvae distinctly appeared to be seven (7) curves, which seemed to have lived to be over seven(7) instars after six(6) times of molting. 2) In general, tile larvae live out to be 6-7 instar. Those pupated at 6th instar seem to over winter in tissue from November as matured. And those pupated in late Spring or early Summer after over wintering in canbium seem to be at 7th instar. 3) The standard deviation of the head width tends to grow larger except at 1st and 7th instar, while the coefficient of variation tends to decrease according as the number of instar increases. The growth ratio was found to decrease according as the number of instar increase except at 1 at and 2 nd instar. 4) To the growth of tee larval head width of this insect, Games and Campbell's formula was more applicable than Dyar's. 5) From the activties of larvae it is presumed that those bred in the year over winter in phelloderm or canbium at the 2 nd-3 rd instar, and the matured (2 year old) emerge the next year after over wintering in cambium or tissue at the 5th or 6th instar.

  • In order to confirm the biological activities of rice bran and hull, total phenolic content, antioxidant and anticancer activities were examined in three rice varieties that have different seed coat colors such as brown, black, and purple. The antioxidant activity was measured by free radical scavenging assay including DPPH, $ABTS^+$ and reducing power activity. The anticancer activity was evaluated by WST assay with human HepG2 cell lines. As the result, Huegjinju, black seed coat rice, showed higher of the total phenolics contents in both bran and hull, than purple Jeojinju and brown Ilpum. In the antioxidant activity, Heugjinju showed the highest among the bran extracts, but the activities of hull extracts were similar in three varieties. In the anticancer activity to HepG2 cell line, the hull extract was 20% higher than that of bran extract in the average of three varieties. The hull extracts of Ilpum and Jeokjinju showed similar anticancer activites about 92%, and that of Heugjinju showed the lowest activity of 30.4%. The anticancer activities of hull extracts in three varieties showed positive correlation with total phenolics contents, DPPH radical scavenging activities and reducing power activities. In conclusion, the rice bran and hull showed potent antioxidant and anticancer activities varied in three varieties that have different seed coat colors.

  • Dioscorea alata L, commonly known as "tropical yam" is the most widely consumed yam species among the 650 yam species belonging to the Dioscoreacea family. It is extensively cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions and is a major food source in Africa and India. Also, it is used for medicinal purposes, particularly in China and Taiwan, for its anti-inflammatory properties. In comparison to other yam varieties such as D. batatas or D. opposita, the tropical yam has gained popularity in Korea due to its higher yield per unit area. In this study, the nutritional characteristics and anti-thrombosis activity of the aerial bulbils of D. alata L. tropical yam were compared to those of D. opposita. The results showed that the aerial bulbils of tropical yam exhibited nutritional characteristics and potent anticoagulant activity compared to those of domestic yam varieties. The bulbils extract of tropical yam showed superior anticoagulant activities against thrombin, prothrombin and blood coagulation factors. Furthermore, the bulbils extract of tropical yam exhibited strong platelet aggregation inhibition at 0.25 mg/ml and showed no hemolytic activity up to a concentration of 2.5 mg/ml. These findings suggest the potential development of high-value anti-thrombosis agents utilizing the aerial bulbils of tropical yam.
