In this study, we studied the changes in antioxidant activity of Actinidia arguta fruit of Autumn Sense cultivar during fruit ripening. The aim of this investigation was to find the knowledge of the changes of physiochemicals associated with fruit quality, antioxidant properties (free-radical scavenging activity and reducing power), total phenolics and vitamin C during fruit ripening. The highest free-radical scavenging activity (at $100{\mu}g/ml$) and reducing power (at $100{\mu}g/ml$) in A. arguta fruit were 78.57% and 0.22, respectively. Total phenolic content and vitamin C content in fruit of 10 days after fruit set were $639.48{\mu}g/g$ and $1052.2{\mu}g/g$, respectively. In general, the antioxidant activity and the related parameters, including total phenolic content and vitamin C content decreased during fruit ripening. These results improve knowledge of the effect of ripening on the antioxidant activity and related compounds contents that could help to establish the optimum A. arguta fruit harvest data for various usages.

Actinidia arguta (Actinidiaceae) has been reported to have several pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and anti-oxidant activities. The present study investigated the protective activity of an ethanol extract from the leaf and stem of A. arguta against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity using cultured rat cortical neurons. Exposure of cultured cortical neurons to $500{\mu}M$ glutamate for 12 h triggered neuronal cell death. A. arguta inhibited glutamate-induced neuronal death and apoptosis, which were measured by a 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and Hoechst 33342 staining, respectively. The increase of pro-apoptotic proteins, Bax and c-caspase-3, in glutamate-treated neurons was significantly inhibited by treatment with A. arguta. A. arguta also inhibited $500{\mu}M$ glutamate-induced elevation of intracellular calcium concentration ($[Ca^{2+}]_i$) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which were measured by fluorescent dyes, Fluo-4 AM and $H_2DCF$-DA, respectively. These results suggest that A. arguta may prevent glutamate-induced apoptotic neuronal death by inhibiting $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ elevation and ROS generation and, therefore, may have a therapeutic role for the prevention of neurodegeneration in cerebral ischemic diseases.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the antioxidant components, elastase inhibition activities, and melanin synthesis rates of Korean traditional Actinidia (Actinidia arguta) fruits and leaves depending on the ethanol extraction concentrations. The total polyphenol content was the highest in the 50% ethanol extract of both fruits and leaves, with values of 634.1 mg GAE/100 g and 3,985.2 mg GAE/100 g, respectively. The total flavonoid content was the highest in the fruit 90% extract and leaf 50% extract at 191.9 mg/100 g and 2655.6 mg/100 g, respectively. The vitamin C content was the highest in the 50% extract of leaves at 2990.3 mg/100 g. Elastase inhibition was the highest at 56.9% in the leaf 50% extract at a concentration of 1,000 ㎍/mL. Melanin synthesis inhibition showed the highest melanin synthesis inhibitory effect among the extracts, as the leaf 50% extract showed an inhibitory rate of 65% or more. Therefore, the antioxidant components, elastase inhibition activities, and melanin synthesis inhibitory rate were better in leaves than in fruits. The leaf 50% extract was particularly the best among the extracts. Korean traditional Actinidia leaves can be considered as potential sources for new functional materials.

한국산 다래나무속은 4종 2변종, 총 6분류군으로 분류하여 왔으나, 이들을 구분하는 분류학적 형질에 대한 이견이 존재함에 따라 형태학적, 해부학적, 화분학적 형질을 토대로 종의 한계를 재고하고자 하였다. 아울러, 다양한 자연집단을 관찰하였으며, 각국의 표본관에 소장된 기준표본을 포함한 건조표본들을 관찰하였다. 연구 결과, 잎의 두께, 털의 형태와 색깔, 엽형 등은 중요한 형질로 여겨왔으나 폭넓은 변이로 인해 식별형질로 부적합하였으며, 수의 형태, 동아의 돌출 정도, 인편 수, 약의 색깔, 열매 모양, 숙과기 등은 유용한 형질이었다. 털다래나무와 녹다래나무는 털의 형질에 기초하여 분류되었으나, 이들 두 분류군에서 나타나는 털은 다래나무에서도 관찰되므로 모종에 통합하였다. 결과적으로, 한국산 다래나무속 식물을 총 4종으로 정리하였고 이에 따른 검색표를 제시하였으며 이명과 기준표본을 정리한 기재문을 작성하였다.

An efficient transformation system for high-throughput functional genomic studies of kiwifruit has been developed to overcome the problem of necrosis in Actinidia arguta explants. The system uses Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 harbouring the binary vector pART27-10 to inoculate leaf strips. The vector contains neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII) and ${\beta}$-glucuronidase (GUS) (uidA) genes. A range of light intensities and different strengths of Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal salt media was used to overcome the problem of browning and/or necrosis of explants and calli. Callus browning was significantly reduced, resulting in regenerated adventitious shoots when the MS basal salt concentration in the culture medium was reduced to half-strength at low light intensity ($3.4\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$) conditions. Inoculated leaf strips produced putative transformed shoots of Actinidia arguta on half-MS basal salt medium supplemented with 3.0 $mg\;l^{-1}$ zeatin, 0.5 $mg\;l^{-1}$ 6-benzyladenine, 0.05 $mg\;l^{-1}$ naphthalene acetic acid, 150 $mg\;l^{-1}$ kanamycin and 300 $mg\;l^{-1}$ $Timentin^{(R)}$. All regenerated plantlets were deemed putativ transgenic by histochemical GUS assay and polymerase chain-reaction analysis.

Actinidia arguta extracts obtained from three cultivars ('Sae-Han', 'Dae-Sung', and 'Chil-Bo') were assayed for their antioxidant properties and nutritional composition. Antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated using 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method. Total phenolic contents of the extracts were determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method. Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) content measured by a colorimetric method and reducing sugar content estimated by dinitrosalicylic acid (DNSA) method. Crude extracts from A. arguta 'Sea-Han' showed the most potent radical-scavenging activity showing 86.55% at 10 mg/ml. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of extracts and solvent fractions from Sea-Han cultivar was in decreasing order of EtOAc fraction>BuOH fraction>$CH_2Cl_2$ fraction>hexane fraction, among which EtOAc fraction showed the highest antioxidant activity (87.51 % at 5 mg/ml). Total phenolic contents in A. arguta 'Sae-Han', 'Dae-Sung' and 'Chil-Bo', were 32.93, 28.23, and 25.60 mg/g, respectively. Vitamin C contents of them were 840.57, 578.81 and 730.10 ug/g, respectively.

The effect of storage temperature and the storage period of hardy kiwifruits on the fruit firmness, soluble solids and fruit weight were studied in this work. The investigation was carried out on the Sae-Han cultivar of Actinidia arguta. It has an edible smooth skin and contains high amounts of sugar and vitamin C (ascorbic acid). In this research, the measurement of fruit firmness, soluble solids, and fruit weight were carried out at various temperatures (5, 10, 15, and 20℃) during 14 days. Fruit firmness rapidly decreased and soluble solids content increased at 15 and 20℃. We also investigated the correlation between fruit firmness and soluble solids content. There was a strong correlation between fruit firmness and soluble solids content. That means that fruit firmness affect the soluble solids content of hardy kiwifruit.
