About 117 weed species composed of 44 annuals, 26 biennials, and 47 perennials belonging to 36 families were identified from golf fields in both Anyang an Taegu country clubs on May and September, 1989. Graminae was the most widely occuring family covering 21 species, followed by 14 species in compositae, 8 species in leguminosae, polygonaceae and caryophyllaceae respectively, and 5 species in cyperacae etc. The highest numbers of weed species occured in the rough area in golf fields, followed by tee, fairway and green area in orders. The dominant weed species in golf fields based on importance value and frequency were Digitaria Sanguinalis, Poaannua, Polygonum aviculare, Trifohum repens, Plan tago asiatica, Capsella bursa-pastoris Rumx acetocella and Kyllinga brevifolia.

About 154 weed species composed of 31 annuals, 33 biennials, and 90 perennials belonging to 38 families were identified from golf courses in Dongrae, Joongmoon and Ora country clubs on June and September, 1992. Compositae was the most widely occurring family covering 30 species, followed by 28 species in Graminae, 12 species in Leguminasae and Rosaceae, respectively, and 7 species in Caryopbyllacese etc. The bighest number of weed species occurred in the out of bounds in three golf courses, The dominant weed species based on importance value and frequency were Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides, Poa annua, Cyperus rotundus, Oxalis corniculata, Digitaria sanguinalis and Artemisia prinseps.

Blood glucose and total lipid levels in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes were determined after intraperitoneal administration of methanolic extract of Ixeris dentat whole plants and its main component, cynaroside (=luteolin 7-O--$\beta$-D-glucoside). From the data obtained, it was concluded that intraperitoneal administration of the methanolic extract produced a significant hypoglycemic effect. Total blood lipids were also decreased. Cynaroside in the streptozotocin-diabetic rats failed to exhibit hypoglycemic effect but a significant hypolipemic activity was observed. Thus, it is suggested that this methanolic extract may contain one or more hypoglycemic and hypolipemic principles including the main flavone glucoside, cynaroside, which can significantly reduce the levels triglyceride and total cholesterol in streptozotocin-diabetic rats.

Thermal stability of a red pigment, carthamin, frm Carthamus tinctorius was investigated to explore possible applications as natural color additives for foods, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals. Degree of degradation reactions of carthamin at acidic, neutral and alkaline conditions were determined with UV/V is spectral measurements. Decomposition half lives of carthamin at 25.deg. C were 4.0 h, 5.1 h, and 12.5 h at pH 5.0, pH 7.0, and pH 12.0, respectively, indicating that carthamin is much more stable at alkaline pH than acidic or neutral conditions. The activation energies of carthamin at pH 5.0, pH 7.0, and pH 12.0 were 15.6, 15.7 and 16.8 kcal/mol, respectively.

Twenty Artemisia species are distributed in South Korea and rich in terpenoids. Artemisia rubripes (Compositae) has been used as a Korean traditional medicine for stomachache. vomiting. diarrhea and hemostatic agent. The antimutagenic effect and essential oils of Artemisia rubripes were reported, but phytochemical study has not been fully investigated. As part of our systematic study on the terpene constituents of Artemisia species. we have investigated A. rubripes (1 kg) collected at Dae-Kwan ryung. Gangwon Province on Aug. 1997. (omitted)

S.deltoides (Compositae) distributed widely in Korea. China. It is edible as a food additive. but there has been no study on chemical constituents. Therefore. we isolated nine compounds from S.deltoldes. On the basis of spectroscopic evidence. the structure of these compounds were characterized as lupeol( 1), $\alpha$-amyrin(2).$\beta$-amyrin (3), ursolic acid(4), nonacosanol(5), nonacosanoic acid(6). mixture of $\beta$-sitosterol. stigmasterol and campesterol (7), $\beta$-sitosteryl-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside(8), stigmasteryI-3-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside(9).

Siegesbeckia pubesence (Cempesitae). a perenial herb, is widely distributed in our country and has been used for rheumaic arthritis, hypertension, malaria. neurasthnia and snake-bite in traditional Chinese medicine. On reviewing the literatures of this plant. diterpenoids and alkaloids were isolated and some pharmacological activities were investigated. As part of our systematic study fer Korean Compositae plants, we have investigated Siegesbeckia pubesence (7kg), cellected from Mt. Odae on Aug. 2001. (omitted)

This research was undertaken to find the in vitro anti-inflammatory action of the essenetial oil (CS-oil) extracted from Chrysanthemum sibiricum (Compositae) herbs. We investigated the effects of the CS-oil not only on the formation NO and $PGE_2$ and TNF-$\alpha$ but also on inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced murine macrophage 264.7. The data obtained were consistent with the modulation of iNOS enzyme expression. (omitted)

As part of our systematic study for Korean Compositae plants, we have studied Saussurea nutans, collected at Gangwon Province on August 2001. Phytochemical studies on various species of genus Saussurea have resulted in the isolation sesquiterpene, triterpene and flavonoid$\^$1)/. S. nutans has been used for the treatment of rheumatic arthritis and dysmenorrhea in the Chinese folk medicine$\^$2)/. However, chemical constituents of this plant have not been reported until now. The MeOH extract of the aerial parts of this source was solvent fractionated into n-hexane, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate and BuOH soluble portions. (omitted)

Aster glehni Franchet et Schmidt is a compositae plant and has been known as a native specie in Ulleung Island, Korea. It is officially recognized as a regional specialty that grows only in this region. In 2014, brown and dark spots were observed on aster leaves in a forest research field, Jinju, Korea. A causal agent was isolated from the disease symptomatic leaves and identified as fungus Alternaria solani. Fungal morphological characteristics and molecular identification with internal transcribed spacer sequences were synchronized as A. solani. The isolated fungi reproduced the same disease symptoms when the fungus was artificially inoculated on healthy aster leaves. This is the first report that A. solani caused leaf blight disease in Aster glehni in Korea.
