This study was to determine aromatic constituents and essential oil content in the root of Codonopsis lanceolata grown at different altitudes; Andong(150m), Mt. Hagka(550m) and Mt. Irwol(750m). Soil pH in Mt. Hagka and Mt. Irwol was 5.6 and 6.1, respectively, which was lower than in Andong(150m), but organic matter content was higher than that of Andong with 6.7 to 8.8%. Fresh root yield also increased as cultural region was located at higher altitude. In particular, yield in Mt. Irwol was 281kg/10a. Essential oil content was highest of 0.006% in the Mt. Irwo1. Forty-eight volatile aromatic compounds in the root of Codonopsis lanceolata were identified by GC/MS. Major aromatic compounds were 1-hexanol, cis-3-hexano1. and Trans-2-hexanol. In partucular, Trans-2-hexanol, was highest in Mt. Irwol attaining the 47.22% area. As a result, it was considered that cultural region above 700m in altitude was the most effective for the improvement of essential oil and aromatic constituents in the roots of Condonopsis lanceolata Trautv.

Background: The study was carried out to assess the genetic variability present in ashwagandha and to examine the nature of associations of various traits to the root yield of the plant. Methods: Fifty-three diverse genetic stocks of ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) were evaluated for 14 quantitative characteristics. Analysis of variance, correlation, and path coefficient analysis were performed using the mean data of 2 years. Results: Analysis of variance revealed that the genotypes differed significantly for all characteristics studied. High heritability in conjunction with high genetic advance was observed for fresh root weight, 12 deoxywithastramonolide in roots, and plant height, which indicated that selection could be effective for these traits. Dry root weight has a tight linkage with plant height and fresh root weight. Further, in path coefficient analysis, fresh root weight, total alkaloid (%) in leaves, and 12 deoxywithastramonolide (%) in roots had the highest positive direct effect on dry root weight. Conclusion: Therefore, these characteristics can be exploited to improve dry root weight in ashwagandha genotypes and there is also scope for the selection of promising and specific chemotypes (based on the alkaloid content) from the present germplasm.

A procedure, which is effective enough to label various compounds at low temperature by radioactive iodine, was investigated. The chloramine-T procedure was mostly effective for labelling various protein, amino acids, hormones, and organic compounds by iodine, and the procedure was able to afford both high specific activity and high radiochemical yield. However, the procedure was ineffective for labelling unsaturated compounds or other organic compounds which has not active aromatic nucleus of reactive character. The radiochemical yield of the procedure was generally averaged from 100% to 60%. The reactivity of the aromatic part of the organic compound towards this reagent was correspond to that of an electrophillic reagent. The procedures were described and the reaction path was considered.

Rapid and selective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds is of important for the preparation of amino derivertives in organic synthesis, particularly when a molecule has other reducible substituents. While Bakers' Yeast has been used for the enantioselective reduction of carbonyl compounds, little attention has been paid to the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds with Bakers' Yeast. Nitro group of m-bromonitrobenzene was selectively and rapidly reduced to corresponding amino derivative in good yield by Bakers' Yeast in basic solution. Furthermore, nitrosobenzene was rapidly reduced to aniline in good yield by Bakers' Yeast under neutral condition. In this paper, we wish to report a rapid and simple reduction of m-bromonitrobenzene and nitrosobenzene to the corresponding amino derivatives using Bakers' Yeast. And the effects of various agents, temperature and pH on the reduction will be discussed.

This study was carried out in 1979 to establish the proper mulching culture method for an aromatic tobacco, ST 375-4. Three different methods of mulching were employed: Improved mulching (I. M.), General mulching (G. M.) and Non-mulching (N. M.). The number of seedlings per hole was 5 for I. M., and one for G. M. and N. M. In comparison with N. M., I. M. had shortened final date of leaf harvest by 14 days, enabling curing leaves before the rainy season. It also reduced transplanting labour hours by 44.9%. Yield and price value increased with improved mulching culture. There was little difference in relative light intensity at leaves between N. M. and I. M.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of dietary zinc supplementation of Friesian cows on chemical-nutritional and aromatic properties of Caciocavallo cheese after 7 days (C₇) and 120 days (C₁₂₀) of ripening. Methods: Twenty eight Friesian cows, balanced for parity, milk production and days in milk, were randomly assigned to 2 groups. The control group (CG) was fed with a conventional complete diet, while the experimental group (zinc group, ZG) received a daily zinc supplementation of 60 mg for kg of dry complete feed. During the experimental period, the milk yield was monitored and samples of milk and caciocavallo cheese were collected and analyzed for chemical-nutritional composition and aromatic profile. Results: The enrichment of dairy cows diet with zinc, did not influence milk yield and composition, however a marked reduction of somatic cell count was evidenced. Both in milk and cheese the ZG samples were characterized by a lower concentration of satured fatty acids and an increase in oleic, vaccenic and rumenic acids. The aromatic profile of dairy products was also positively affected by dietary zinc intake, with an increase in concentration of carboxylic acids, esters and lactones. Conclusion: The present results suggest a positive role of dietary zinc intake in improving the quality of bovine milk and related cheese, in particular for the increase in concentration of bioactive fatty acids such as rumenic acid. The changes evidenced in cheese through the analysis of the volatile profile, would be consistent with the development of interesting organoleptic properties, although further evaluations should be performed to confirm the consumer acceptability of these changes.

The aim of the present work is to study the effect of gallium addition to HZSM-5 on recovery rates of gaseous and liquid products and carbon number distribution in the catalytic cracking of a polymer mixture, LDPE, LLDPE, and EVA copolymer, with a composition similar to that found in real agricultural film wastes. Ga/HZSM-5 system produced a larger amount of aromatic hydrocarbons than HZSM-5. The yield of aromatic compound in vapor phase contact was higher than that in liquid phase contact. The yield of aromatic compound increased with the amount of catalyst and with the reaction temperature of catalyst bed. The effect of gallium addition on the carbon number distribution was not great.

The transformation of butanes and 1-butene into aromatic compounds was performed over HZSM-5 catalyst and its Ag ion-exchanged form. The yield of aromatic hydrocarbons appreciably increased by incorporating silver cations into HZSM-5. The silver cations serve as catalysts for dehydrogenation of the starting hydrocarbons. $Ag^+$ ions could be reduced to $Ag^0$ metals with resulting in the formation of acidic OH grops by hydrogen produced during the dehydrogenation of butanes and 1-butene. The reaction of 1-butene over ZSM-5 with different loading of Ag was carried out to investigate the effect of acidic properties of these catalysts.

Brown planthopper (BPH) is a serious insect pest of rice crop throughout rice growing countries, and yield loss due to its infection can be up to 60%. This study aimed to evaluate efficiency of molecular markers for screening BPH resistance accessions among 86 aromatic rice germplasm Eighty-six accessions of aromatic rice germplasm included two accessions of Tongil type (bred in Korea), 28 accessions of japonica type and 56 accessions of indica type. We applied eight STS markers (pBPH9, pBPH19, pBPH20, pBPH21, AJ09-b, RG457L, RG457B, and 7312.T4A) which were linked to four of BPH resistance genes, Bph1, Bph13(t), Bph10, and Bph18(t) respectively. One japonica type accession, 415XIr352, and six indica type accessions possessed one or four positive bands when tested with four STS markers linked to Bph1 gene. One indica type aromatic rice, Basmati9-93, showed the target bands linked to the Bph10 gene. The other accessions did not show same fragments as the respective resistant lines. Bph13(t) is the most widely introduced resistance gene and only one accession showed positive bands implying that this accession might harbor Bph10 and Bph18(t) genes. Three aromatic accessions, Domsiah, Khao Dawk Mali 105 and 415XIr352 showed gene pyramiding of Bph1 and Bph13(t). Two indica aromatic rice, Ds 20 and Basmati 9-93, possessed at least two BPH resistance genes, Bph1, Bph18(t) and Bph13(t), Bph18(t), respectively. These results indicates that aromatic rice germplasm have narrow diversities of BPR resistance genes.
