A new species of Corydalis sect. Corydalis (Fumariaceae), C. misandra B.U.Oh, is described from the provinces of Gyonggi-do and Gangwon-do in Korea. The new species is distinct from its close relative C. namdoensis in having elliptic or linear leaflet shape, entire or slightly dentate bract apex, broad and rhomboidal lower outer petal, 14 papillate stigma, oblong stamen and linear capsule with one rowed seeds, etc.

A new species of Corydalis sect. Corydalis (Fumariaceae), C. namdoensis B.U. Oh et J.G. Kim, is described from the central and southern part of Korea. The new species is distinct from its close relative C. albipetala in having very variable leaf shapes, broadly flattened fusiform fruits, seed arrangement nearly in two rows in capsule, V-shaped inner petal apex and limited distribution area.

A new species of Corydalis sect. Corydalis (Fumariaceae), Corydalis cornupetala Y.H. Kim et J.H. Jeong is described from Gyeongsan-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do in Korea. This new species is distinguished from the other species of the sect. Corydalis by some flower characters such as, purplish white petal with two dark stripes and horn-shaped apex of outer petal. The linear leaflets of C. cornupetala are similar to the lineariloba type of C. remota Fisch. ex Max. or C. namdoensis B.U. Oh et J.G. Kim, but much longer and narrower. The linear or lanceolate bract of C. cornupetala is also distinctive from the elliptical shape of C. remota and C. namdoensis.

We report an unrecorded species of Corydalis sect. Corydalis (Fumariaceae), C. caudata (Lam.) Pers., that have been found in the central part of Korea. This species is easily recognized by its bearded calyx, upwardly curved spur, and multi-branched characteristics. We named it 'Soo-yeom-hyeon-ho-saek' as korean common name.

A new species, Corydalis bonghwaensis M. Kim & H. Jo, is described here. It is found on a mountain slope in Bongwha-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea. Corydalis bonghwaensis shares several characteristics (white flowers, glabrous pedicels, white tubers, and the polygonal stigma) with related species C. namdoensis B. U. Oh & J. G. Kim and C. albipetala B. U. Oh. However, this new species has flowers which change from pale-yellow to white, a mucronated inner-petal apex, linear leaflets, and fusiform capsules with two-rowed seeds. In contrast, C. namdoensis has retuse inner-petal apex, various leaflets, and fusiform capsules with 2-rowed seeds. C. albipetala has retuse inner-petal apex, elliptical leaflets, and linear capsule with 1-rowed seeds. Also C. humilis B. U. Oh & Y. S. Kim has pale-blue purple flowers, elliptical leaflets, inflorescence with 1-5 flowers, and hemispherical lower-outer petal.

현호색속은 양귀비과에 속하는 분류군으로서 전 세계에 약 450분류군이 분포하며 한국에는 25분류군이 분포한다. 20분류군의 한국산 현호색속 식물을 대상으로 화부 형태, 밀선의 형태, 밀선의 부착 위치를 비교 분석하였다. 현호색속 식물의 꽃은 좌우대칭하며 외화판의 거(spur)에 위치한 밀선을 갖는데 밀선의 위치, 형태 등은 현호색속의 분류체계를 반영하는 중요한 형질로 판단된다. 관찰결과 현호색절과 가는괴불주머니절의 밀선은 거(spur)의 1/3~2/3 정도 까지 신장되며 신장부는 매우 가늘지만 선단부에서는 다소 부푼 후 뾰족해지고 아래쪽으로 굽으며 분비조직이 위치하고 있는 부분은 녹색, 신장부는 횐색을 띠었다. 들현호색절에서는 거(spur)의 중간 정도에 위치한다. 기부는 두껍고 화색과 같은색을 띠지만 끝부분은 가늘고 굽지 않으며 흰색을 띤다. 자주괴불주머니절의 밀선은 거의 신장되지 않고 주걱형이며 노란색을 띠었다. 산괴불주머니절에서는 거(spur)의 3/4까지 신장되며 선단부는 뾰족하고 녹색을 띠며 아래로 굽는다. 밀선의 형태는 거(spur)의 형태와 관련이 있다. 거(spur)가 주머니처럼 부푸는 절에서 밀선분비조직의 뚜렷한 발달이 관찰되고 거(spur) 안에 분비된 화밀을 저장한다. 비록 현호색절과 산괴불주머니절이 서로 밀접한 계통을 갖지는 않지만 이들이 공유하는 밀선의 형태는 거(spur) 형태의 유사성에서 기인한 것으로 보인다. 한국산 현호색속 밀선의 형질진화 분석을 위하여 mesquite을 이용하여 ancestral reconstruction를 수행하였다. 밀선의 형질진화는 한국산 현호색속 5절의 계통진화를 반영하였다. 현호색속의 화부형질은 매우 복잡하고 다양한 방향으로 진화한 것으로 보이며 이를 이해하기 위해서는 다양한 화부형질의 종합적인 검토가 필요하다. 이번 연구에서 확인된 화부구조와 분비조직의 형질은 현호색속의 계통진화를 잘 반영하고 있었으며 향후 분비조직의 해부형질, 미세형질 등의 추가연구를 통하여 현호색속의 계통연구를 위한 새로운 분류학적 가치를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

To search for myrmecochorous plant species, related ant species and diaspore selecting behaviour, collecting fruits and diaspores of four Corydalis species, cafeteria experiments, and the related ant species were studied from May 2013 to July 2014. Four Corydalis species recording in Korea were proved myrmecochorous (seed attached elaiosome) plants newly. Elaiosome shape of these species is spatulate-shaped, but their size is varied considerably in length and width. Significant differences is proved between four plant species in weight of diaspores, seeds and elaiosomes, and elaiosome ratios. Mean values of diaspores weight showed 4.08 mg, 2.56 mg, 2.49 mg and 2.06 mg in Corydalis grandicalyx, C. remota, C. turtschaninovii for. pectinata and C. turtschaninovii var. linearis, respectively. Mean values of seed weights showed 3.68 mg, 2.03 mg, 1.90 mg and 1.67 mg in Corydalis grandicalyx, C. remota, C. turtschaninovii for. pectinata and C. turtschaninovii var. linearis, respectively. Elaiosome ratio of C. turtschaninovii var. linearis was the highest, followed by C. remota, C. turtschaninovii for. pectinata and C. grandicalyx. Ant's preference for the diaspores is ordered as same as elaiosome ratio's order. Major ant species transporting the diaspores of Corydalis species are Formica japonica, Lasius alienus, Lasius japonicus and Tetramorium tsushimae. Formica japonica transports the diaspores most frequently. Ant's preference for the diaspores among plant species or individuals might be influenced on the survival rates of concerned species. Further studies on the myrmecochorous plant and related ant species, cafeteria experiments should be needed.

목적 : 본 연구는 현호색의 메탄올 추출물(Corydalis Tuber Extract:CTE)이 인간 유방암 세포인 MCF-7 세포의 자멸사에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 현호색 메탄올 추출물로 인간유방암에서 유래된 MCF-7 세포를 처리하였다. CTE의 세포자멸사 유도 효과는 MTT, FACS, TUNEL, DNA laddering and immunoblot assay를 통하여 측정하였다. 결과: 본 연구에서 현호색 메탄올 추출물은 MCF-7 세포의 활성을 감소시켰다. CTE로 처리한 MCF-7 세포는 용량에 따라 세포 자멸사 과정이 증가했다. CTE에 노출하였을 때 Bcl-2와 $Bcl-_{XL}$의 발현을 억제하고, 미토콘드리아로부터 세포질로 cytochrome-c를 방출하며, caspase와 PARP의 절단을 유발하여 세포자멸사가 증가했다. 현호색 메탄올 추출물에 존재하는 성분중에서 coptisine이 세포 활성도를 효과적으로 감소시킨 것으로 사료된다. 결론: 실험결과 현호색 메탄올 추출물이 유방암의 임상 치료에 있어 가능성 있는 치료 방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the acute oral toxicity of Corydalis turtschaninovii BESS. in Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats. Male and female rats were administered orally with Corydalis turtschaninovii BESS water extract. We measured the number of death by clinical signs and gross findings for 7 days. After 7 days, we measured the whole body and individual organs' weight. We also analyzed hematological changes. The result, no dead SD rats and no clinical signs were found during the experiment period. Also other specific changes were not found between control and treated groups in hematology and serum biochemistry. The results indicated that there were no significant changes of gross body and individual organs weight in SD rats. These results suggest that water soluble extract of Corydalis turtschaninovii BESS. has not acute oral toxicity in SD rats.
