Staibilization effect of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer on .betha.-D-Galactosidase inactivation was proved by kinetic studies of thermal inactivation of the enzyme. The water extract Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer showed stabilization activity at minimal concentration of 10ppm. The methanolic extract was purified to obtain ginseng saponins, and two groups of the ginsenosides, i. e. protopanaxadiol and protopanaxatriol were isolated. They also showed a protective effect against the thermal and chemical inactivation of the enzyme; p-chloromercuribenzoic acid and hydroxylamine known as protein modifier greatly inactivated the enzyme but inactivation was significantly balocked by the ginseng component MG$^{2+}$, known as a cofactor, stabilized the enzyme and the poor stabilization effect by it was potentiated by ginseng components.s.

Mature zygotic embryos dissected from ginseng(Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) seeds were cultured on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium containing various concentrations of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2, 4-D) and kinetin. Somatic embryos were induced directly from cotyledonary tissue or from intervening callus. The induction frequency of somatic embryos was up to 55%. Upon transfer to half-strength MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/1 6-benzyladenine(BA) and 1 mg/1 GA3, most somatic embryos developed into plantlets. Over 50% of the plantlets flowered after 4 weeks of culture and then a few bore immature fruits in vitro. Therefore, it is suggested that the juvenility of the ginseng tissue which give rise to somatic embryos does not interfere with in vitro flowering of their regenerated plantlets.

This study has been carried out to investigate the ultrastructural changes, formation of storage materials in endosperm cells with electron microscope during the seed formation of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer. In the early stage of seed formation with green seed coat, the endosperm was cellular type. Cell plate was largely composed of dictyosome vesicles in early stage of wall formation after mitosis. Central vacuole was gradually subdivided into several small-sized vacuoles. During the differentiation of plastids, some proplastid was replaced by amyloplast with starch grains and lamellar structure. A number of mitochondria with well developed cristae were distributed in cytoplasm. Rough endoplasmc reticulum, dictyosome, microbody, free ribosomes and polysomes were evenly distributed in cytoplasm. Spherical spherosomes were formed from dictyosome containing the lipid materials of even electron density. Protein bodies were formed by interfusing between vacuoles and vesicles derived from rough endoplasmic reticulum which contained the amorphous protein of high electron density.

Hexane, Hexane/diethylether and chloroform fractions from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer stroungly inhibitied human platelet aggregation induced by a high dose of thrombin (2$\mu$/ml). Chloroform fraction more strongly inhibited the platelet aggregation than the other two fraction among them. There were fatty acid ester and phosphate ester instead of polyacethylene compounds in the chloroform fraction.

This study was undertaken to examine the effects of fresh ginseng on the physicochemical and microbiological changes in dongchimi juice fermented under various conditions. The pH was somewhat lower in dongchimi juice added with 2.0% and 4.0% of fresh ginseng than that without ginseng, whereas the titratable acidity was higher in dongchimi juice with 2.0% and 4.0% of ginseng addition than the control. The addition of fresh ginseng to dongchimi preparation increased the numbers of total viable bacteria, lactic acid bacteria including Leuconostac mesenterotdes in dongchimi juice during fermentation. The changes in the counts of lactic acid bacteria were similar to those of total viable cells throughout the experiment except the initial stage of fermentation. However, the number of Leucosfastoc mesenternidgs decreased after the palatable stage. Key words : Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, dongchlmi juice, pH, titratable acidity, microbiological changes.

In Korean ginseng, Panax ginseng C.A Meyer, it was difficult to isolate chloroplast DNA with classical methods, because of the high polysaccharide content of ginseng chloroplast The simple and efficient method of chloroplast DNA isolation from ginseng leaves has been developed by motificalion of recently advanced methods. Also, it can be successfully applied to ctDNA isolation of Chinese cabbage, radish, petunia tobacco as well as ginseng. Isolated chloroplast DNA from ginseng was digested with various restriction endonucleases. It was estimated that the molecular weight of Korean ginseng chloroplast DNA was about 142 kb. There was no difference in restriction endonuclease digestion patterns between two variants of Korean ginseng, which are Jakyung-Jong (violet-stem variant) and Hwang- sook-Jong (yellow-berry variant).

Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer (Araliaceae) is listed in Shen Nung Pentsao Ching(神農本草經) as the remedy for replenishing the primodial qi(氣), restoring pulse, treating collapse, tonifing the spleen and lag, promoting the production of body fluid to quench thirst, tranquilizing the mind, and improving the function of brain. The prescriptions of In Sam Tang(人參揚) are also recorded in many other Chinese medical books. The identification of the age of Panax ginseng is very important in commercial market as well as in research field. However, any reports about it have not been clearly established yet. To clarify the criterion, the morphological and anatomical characteristics of the roots of various age Panax ginseng cultivated in Korea were studied. The characteristics of cork layer, secretory canal, and vessel were shown to bε useful keys to confirm the age of Panax ginseng.

고려인삼(Panax ginseng C. A.. Meyer) 중의 $\beta$-amylase를 연구하기 위하여 조(粗)인삼 $\beta$-amylase 를 분리한 후 그의 성질을 조사하였다. 조인삼 $\beta$-amylase는 ammonium sulfate 0.2$\sim$0.6포화분획에 의하여 효과적으로 조제되었다. 조제된 본 효소는 전형적인 $\beta$-amylase의 작용을 하여 starch에서 maltose만을 생산하였으며 maltase의 활성은 나타내지 않았다. 본 효소는 pH5$\sim$9(특히 pH7$\sim$8), $40^{\circ}C$ 이하의 조건하에서 안정성을 나타내었고 최적pH 5.0, 최적온도 $35^{\circ}C$를 나타내었다. 본 호소는 기질(starch)농도 l2mg% 이하에서 기질농도에 비례하여 호소활성이 증가하였으며 Km치는 4.76mg%이었다. 또 본 효소는 $K^{+}$, $Na^{+}$, $An^{++}$,$Ca^{++}$, $Co^{++}$,$Mn^{++}$ $Zn^{++}$에는 영향을 받지 않았으나$Ag^{+}$, $Hg^{++}$,$Cd^{++}$, $Cu^{++}$,$ Al^{3+}$, and $Fe^{3+}$ 등에는 현저한 저해를 받았다.

인참 근 조직에 Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain $A_4$를 접종하여 hairy roots 유도와 유도된 hairy roots의 배양 조건을 조사하였다. 48시간 배양된 균($2{\times}A92$bacteria/ml)을 접종하여 암조건($26{pm}1^{\circ}C$)하에서 배양하였을때 6-7주후 tumor가 형성되었으며, 10-12주후 hairy roots가 유도되었다. 근 년별 hairy roots 유도율은 5년근이 4, 6년근에 비하여 높았으며, 배지에 IAA, 2, 4-D, IBA 및 tryptophan 을 각각 첨가시켰을때 15-30mg/l tryptophan에서 tumor 및 hairy roots 유도율이 증가되었음을 나타내었다. 또한 유도된 hairy roots hormone-free인 RCM배지(sucrose 3%, pH 4.5)에서 배양하였다.
