In this study the essential oil and pharmacologically active components of different valerian species (Valeriana fauriei var. dasycarpa Hara and V. officinalis L. from Korea and V. wallichii DC from Nepal) were analyzed to search for native plant resources that can be used for medicinal herb and tobacco flavoring. The oil contents in dry roots of V. fauriei, V. officinalis and V. walhchii were 1. 71%, 0. 82% and 0. 83 %, respectively. The composition of the essential oil among different valerian species was compared. In V. fauriei 47 compounds were identified, while 21 and 25 compounds were identified in V. officinalis and V. wallichii. The major compounds in the oil of V. fauriei were bornyl acetate (33.8%) and camphene (10.8%), cedrol (4. 1 %), -pinene (3. 2%) and unidentified sesquiterpene alcohol (3. 0%). The major compounds were borneol (62. 5%) and ${\beta}-sesquiphelandrene$(6. 8%) and spathulenol (2. 1%) in V. officinalis, and borneol (74. 3%) and ${\alpha}-elemene$ (2.7%) and -sesquiphellandrene (2. 3%) in V. wallichii. Among the components known as major pharmacologically active compounds in European or Japanese valerian roots, valeranone, valerenal and -kessyl acetate was detected in a small amount in V. fauriei, but kessoglycol diacetate was not detected in V. faudei and V. officinalis Among the valepotrate compounds, major pharmacologically active components in V. wallichii, valtrate was detected in a small amount in V. fauriei and V. officinalis., and detected 1. 42% in V. wallichii. Didrovaltrate was also detected in the three valerian species tested, but acevaltrate was not detected except V. wallichii. On the other hand, antioxidative activity was slightly higher in V. fauriei than those of V. officinalis.

This study was conducted to know the effects of light intensity and temperature on growth of V. fauriei plants. Photosynthesis of V. fauriei had highly significant relations to light intensity and temperature in a quadratic regression model, from which the optimum light intensity and temperature for the plant growth were estimated to be 40,000lux and $17.7^{\circ}C.$ Root was produced less by shading at Jinbu where is located in alpine region, but root yield is increased by shading at Umsong where is located in plane region. Roots were produced more in Jinbu than in Umsong. A highly significant quadratic regression was noted between temperature and leaf width or root weight of V. fauriei. It was estimated from the regression equation that the optimum temperature for root growth was $20.3^{\circ}C.$

Stem and petiole rot symptoms of Valeriana fauriei occurred sporadically in the herb exhibition field in Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services, Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province in Korea. The typical symptom is water-soaking on the stem, rotting, wilting, blighting and the infected plants eventually died. White mycelial mats spreaded over lesions, and then sclerotia were formed on the infected plant parts and near soil surface line. On the basis of mycological characteristics and pathogenicity to host plants, this fungus was identified as Sclerotium rolfsii. This is the first report of stem rot on Valeriana fauriei caused by Sclerotium rolfsii in Korea.

This study was carried out to know the effect of air temperature on photosynthesis and growth of Korean Valerian (valeriana fauriei var. dasycarpa HARA). The results are as follows; 1. Photosynthesis of V fauriei had highly significant relation to temperature in a quadratic regression mo­del, from which the optimum temperature for the plant growth were estimated to be $17.7^{\circ}C$. During the day­time in the field condition, the photosynthesis rate was highest at 9 a.m, then reduced to minimum at 2 p.m., and increased again thereafter. 2. Number of stomata was about $25/mm^2$ on the upper side and $85/mm^2$ on the lower side of the leaf, and the size was $21{\sim}30/{\mu}m$ in diameter. 3. A highly significant quadratic regression was noted between temperature and leaf width or root weight of V. fauriei. It was estimated from the regression equation that the optimum temperature for root growth was $20.3^{\circ}C$.

This study extracted essential oil from the native Korean plant Valeriana fauriei and performed fragrance component analysis, antioxidant (DPPH, ABTS), cell viability (MTS), and anti-inflammatory (Nitric oxide) experiments based on the analysis results. The fragrance component analysis revealed that the major effective component of Valeriana fauriei, bornyl acetate, was present at a high content of 47.88%, compared to other regions. Additionally, patchouli alcohol (18.9%), camphene (11.37%), α-Pinene (5.44%), and D-limonene (1.11%) were identified. The antioxidant activity showed that the DPPH radical scavenging activity was 73.62% at 250 µl/ml, and the ABTS radical scavenging activity was 82.17% at 250 µl/ml. At a concentration of 5 µl/ml, which did not exhibit cytotoxicity, the NO production inhibition rate decreased by 62.02% compared to the control group. Through these findings, the potential for the application of Valeriana fauriei essential oil in functional products has been scientifically validated, contributing to research utilizing Valeriana fauriei essential oil.

This experiment was conducted to obtain information for the cultivation of Korean valerian(Valeriana lauriei var. dasycarpa Hara) which will be useful for medicinal and aromatic resources. The effect of different temperature conditions, light intensities and soil water conditions on growth, yield and component of essential oil of V. fauriei were measured at the Dankook University, Cheonan, and a study on the shading treatment was at Umsung, Chungchongbukdo, and Jinbu, Kangwondo, in 1995. V. laudei was planted at five different temperature conditions, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 3$0^{\circ}C$, eight light intensity conditions, 1, 000, 2, 500, 5, 000, 20, 000, 30, 000, 40, 000, 50, 000 and 60, 000lux, six soil water contents, 30, 45, 55, 70, 80 and 90％ of the saturated soil, during growth stage. Shading treatment was three conditions, 0, 25 and 50％, during the daytime in field conditions. Photosynthesis had a highly significant relationship with temperature conditions in a quadratic regression model, from which the temperature for the plant growth was estimated to be 17.7$^{\circ}C$. A highly significant quadratic regression was noted between temperature and leaf width or root weight of V. fauriei. It was estimated from the regression equation that the optimum temperature for root growth was 20.3$^{\circ}C$. The content of essential oil and extract rate of root was the highest in the 15~2$0^{\circ}C$. Photosynthesis also was significantly affected by light intensity in a quadratic regression model, from which the optimum light intensity for the growth was estimated to be 40, 000lux. Root yield was more produced in Jinbu than that of in Umsung. The root yield was increased by the shading treatment in Umsung, whereas it was decreased by the shading treatment in Jinbu. The content of essential oil was not affected by the shading treatment of plants during the cultivation, while the compositions of components of essential oil were related to the growing locations. As soil water content was higher, the growth and content of root extract were increased. The optimum soil moisture for the growth of V. fauriei was 80~90％ of the saturated soil. In summary, the results indicated that the growth, yield and component of essential oil in V. fauriei were affected by environmental factors as well as soil moisture.
