The seeds of Astragalus sinicus grows in Korea have been used for oriental traditional medicine as the remedies for inflammation. Eight flavonoids were isolated from the Seeds of Astragalus sinicus and studied its anti-inflammatory activity. Some flavonoid compounds showed significant nitrogen monoxide(NO) production inhibitory activity in IFN-${\gamma}$, LPS stimulated RAW 264.7 cell. There compounds also showed significant antioxidative in DPPH assay. (omitted)

Phytochemical examination of seeds of Astragalus sinicus has led to the isolation and characterization of kaempferol $3-O-{\beta}-D-apiofuranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}2)-{\alpha}-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (1), quercetin $3-O-{\beta}-D-xylopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}2)-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (2), ampelopsin (3), ampelopsin $3'-O-{\beta}-D-xylopyranoside$ (4), ampelopsin $3'-O-{\beta}-Dxylopyranoside$ (5), myricetin (6), myricetin $3'-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (7), myricetin $3'-O-{\beta}-D-xylopyranoside$ (8). Antioxidative activity of these compounds was determined by measuring the radical scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals. Flavanonols(3,4, and 5) showed potent antioxidative activity.

From 2008 to 2009, the stem rot of Astragalus sinicus L. caused by Sclerotium rolfsii occurred sporadically in Gyeongnam area, Korea. The typical symptom is water-soaking, rotting and wilting on the stem. The infected plants were eventually died. White mycelial mats were spread over lesions, and then sclerotia were formed on stems and near soil line. The sclerotia were globoid in shape, white to brown in color, 1-3 mm in size and the hyphal width was 3-9 μm. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth and sclerotial formation on PDA was 30oC. The typical clamp connections were observed in the hyphae of the fungus grown on PDA. On the basis of mycological characteristics and pathogenicity to host plants, this fungus was identified as Sclerotium rolfsii Saccardo. This is the first report on the stem rot of A. sinicus caused by S. rolfsii in Korea.

The Seeds of Astragalus sinicus(Leguminosae) is used for the treatment of excretion of urine, circulation of blood and the throat inflammation in Korean traditional medicine. Eight flavonoids were isolated from 80％ Acetone extracts. The structure were elucidated as Quercetin 3-O-${\beta}$-D-Xylopyranosyl-(1\longrightarrow2)-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranoside, ampelopsin and myricetin by phytochemical and spectral evidences. The other compounds are understudied by 2D-NMR.

Sclerotinia rot occurred sporadically on the stems and leaves of Astragalus sinicus in the farmers fields at Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam province in Korea. The infected plants showed the typical symptoms: watersoaked, wilt, rot, blight and eventual death. The colony of the isolated fungus on potato-dextrose agar (PDA) was white to faintly gray color. Sclerotia formed on the PDA were globose in shape, black in color and $2{\sim}14{\times}2{\sim}7mm$ in size. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth and sclerotium formation was at $20^{\circ}C$ on PDA. Apothecia formed on PDA were globose~disk in shape and 3~8 mm in size. Asci were cylindrical in shape and $145{\sim}210{\times}10{\sim}12{\mu}m$ in size. Ascospores were ellipsoid and $10{\sim}14{\times}6{\sim}7{\mu}m$ in size. On the basis of mycological characteristics and pathogenicity test on host plants, the fungus was identified as Sclerotinia trifoliorum Eriksson. This is the first report on sclerotinia rot of A. sinicus caused by Strifoliorum Eriksson in Korea.

CHA, Jong Whan (Dept. of Biology, College of Education, Seoul National University). Effect of gibberallin on the growth and internal componsents of Astragalus sinicus L. Kor. Jour. Bot. V(4) : 1-5, 1962. The effect of GA on the growth as well as on the internal components of the leaves of Astragalus sinicus L. under the soil culture was investigated. The result has indicated that small variation in the relative concentration of GA treated on the leaves shows a marked influence on the internal components of the plants. The increase of growth was associated with increasing intensity of GA. Chlorophyll and carotene contents in the leaves were depressed with increasing concentration of GA. It was noticed that the growth was pomoted with the decrease of the contents of chlorophyll and carotene. In contrast the aacorbic acid in the leaves treated with GA decreased in proportion to the degree of the concentration of GA. Carotens content varied with chlorophyll, although the ratio of chlorophyll to carotene was not so high as the results obtained by Beck and Redman. Chlorophyll and ascorbic acid values with respect to growth differed greatly during the two experimental periods. The chlorophyll content was found highly significant in this experimental periods. The chlorophyll content was found highly significant in this experiment. As the concentration of GA was increased, it was noticed that there was a reduction of anthocyanin, sucrose, and reducing sugar contents. The anthocyanin content was not so high in this study as in the results obtained from the corn by Jacob Straus.
