This study was carried out to find the suitable root-ball size for the planting construction of landscape trees. Surveyed trees for this study were Cercidiphyllum japonicum and Prunus yedoensis, and the root-ball size was classified into 3D, 4D, 5D, and 6D(D meaning the diameter at the base of a tree). Visual ratings on a scale of 1 to 9 were used as a means for measuring the regrowth strength after planting tested trees. Test trees with 3, 4, 5 and 6D root-ball size were planted on March. 16, 2002 and visual ratings were measured up to April. 30, 2003. Cercidiphyllum japonicum and Prunus yedoensis started showing a difference in regrowth by each rootball size a month after planting. The regrowth quality of Cercidiphyllum japonicum was low at 3D, medium at 4∼5D and high at 6D root-ball size, while the regrowth quality of Prunus yedoensis was low at 3∼4D and medium-high at 5∼6D root-ball size. According to the above results, a root-ball size for good regrowth quality was a little bit different between Cercidiphyllum japonicum and Prunus yedoensis. 4D of Cercidiphyllum japonicum and 5D of Prunus yedoensis could be guidelines for root-ball diameters at the base of trees when planting. However, we concluded that 4D∼5D root-ball is the optimum guideline for regrowth when adapting this guideline to all landscape trees with 8∼l0cm diameter at the base.

Cercidiphyllum japonicum is being used for the treatment of obesity and liver fibrosis in Korean local clinics. In the present study, we tried to develop an analytical methodology for the determination of the chemical markers of Cercidiphyllum japonicum. Four chemicals, maltol (1), chlorogenic acid (2), quercetin (3), and avicularin (4), were selected for method validation, and the analytical conditions were optimized and validated using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with an ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UV). Additionally, the seasonal variations of four markers were monitored every month for six months. The contents of four chemicals markers were most detected in a sample collected in June.

The EtOAc and $H_2O$ soluble fractions of Katsura tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum Sieb. Et Zucc) bark extracts were chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column with various aqueous MeOH. Gallic acid (1), methyl galate (2), kurigalin (3), 1,2,3,6-tetra-O-galloyl-${\beta}$-D-glucose (4) and 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-${\beta}$-D-glucose (5) were isolated from EtOAc fraction. Isocorilagin (6) and methyl galate (2) were separated from $H_2O$ fraction. The structure determination was done by $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR. Of these isolated compounds, methyl galate (2), kurigalin (3) and isocorilagin (6) were isolated, for the first time, from the bark extracts of Cercidiphyllum japonicum.

Katsura tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum Sieb. Et Zucc) leaves were collected, air-dried and extracted with 70% aqueous acetone, then concentrated and sequentially fractionated using n-hexane, methylene chloride ($CH_2Cl_2$), ethylacetate (EtOAc), and $H_2O$. The EtOAc fraction was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column with various aqueous MeOH eluting solvents and finally treated with acetone-$H_2O$ (7:3, v/v) to isolate a gallotannin. According to the NMR analysis, including HSQC and HMBC, and with the comparison of authentic literature data, the isolate was elucidated as 6-m-digalloyl-1,2,3,4-tetra-O-galloyl ${\beta}$-D-(+)-glucose, one of hydrolyzable tannins and one of gallotannins. The compound was only gallotannin which was firstly isolated from the extracts of Katsura tree leaves, and has not been reported before in domestic tree sources.

Cercidiphyllum japonicum leaves were collected, air-dried and extracted with 70% aqueous acetone, then concentrated and sequentially fractionated using n-hexane, methylene chloride ($CH_2Cl_2$), ethylacetate (EtOAc), and $H_2O$. A portion of EtOAc fraction (10 g) was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column, by the successively elution with various aqueous $MeOH-H_2O$ (1:9, fraction $1-2{\rightarrow}3:7$, fraction $3-5{\rightarrow}1:1$, fraction $6-9{\rightarrow}7:3$, fraction $10-13{\rightarrow}9:1$, fraction 14-16). Compound 2 was isolated from fraction 6 and compound 1 was separated from fraction 11 and 12. Compound 3 and 4 were purified from fraction 13. The isolated compounds were elucidated as quercetin-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranoside (1), chlorogenic acid (2), quercetin-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-arabinofuranoside (3) and quercetin-3-O-${\beta}$-D-xylopyranoside (4) by the spectral and literature data, and by comparison with the authentic samples. These compounds were reported, for the first time, from the extracts of C. japonicum leaves. Also chlorogenic acid (2) has never been reported before in domestic tree species and can be used as an index compound for C. japonicum.

Katsura tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum Sieb. Et Zucc) leaves were collected, air-dried and extracted with 70% aqueous acetone, then concentrated and sequentially fractionated using n-hexane, $CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc, and $H_2O$ to be freeze dried for antioxidant and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activity tests. The antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl 2-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging assay. The test concentrations were adjusted to 500, 250, 125, 62.5, 31.25, 15.62, 7.81, 3.9, 1.95 and 0.97 ppm. The $H_2O$ and EtOAc fractions showed higher activities compared with the control, ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, at all concentrations. The crude fraction also gave better activity at the concentrations lower than 62.5 ppm. However, the nonpolar n-hexane and $CH_2Cl_2$ fractions gave prominently lower activities compared with the control at all concentrations. The $IC_{50}$ values of the crude, EtOAc, and $H_2O$ fractions exhibited 11.78, 4.29 and $9.80{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, respectively, compared with $12.08{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of the control. But the n-hexane and $CH_2Cl_2$ fractions indicated 300 and $91.85{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of $IC_{50}$, respectively. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase inhibition activity was evaluated at the concentrations of 50, 25, 12.5, 6.3, 3.1, 1.6 and 0.8 ppm. The inhibition activities were increased according to as the increase of sample concentrations. However, the nonpolar n-hexane and $CH_2Cl_2$ fractions indicated very low inhibition activities compared with acarbose, a positive control. The EtOAc fraction showed very good capability as almost 100% compared with the control at the higher concentrations than 12.5 ppm and the crude fraction also indicated good potential as 95% and 100% at 25 and 50 ppm, respectively. The $H_2O$ fraction gave good inhibition value as 90% at 50 ppm although the value was lower than the control. These results showed that the polar fractions had better ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activities. The $IC_{50}$ values of the nonpolar fractions, n-hexane and $CH_2Cl_2$, showed very lower values as 468 and $103.6{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, respectively, than the control. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase Inhibition Activity of the Extracts of Katsura Tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum Sieb. Et Zucc) Leaves However, the polar fractions, crude, EtOAc and $H_2O$, showed 7.1, 3.7 and $13{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, respectively, indicating that these fractions can be used as natural bioresources for treating diabetes mellitus. Also ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition activity had a positive correlation with antioxidant activity of the extracts.

계수나무 잎, 목질부 및 수피부의 EtOAc 및 물 분획으로부터 gallic acid (1), methyl gallate (2), kurigalin (3), 1,2,3,6-tetra-O-galloyl-${\beta}$-D-(+)-glucose (4), 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-${\beta}$-D-(+)-glucose (5), 6-m-digalloyl-1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-${\beta}$-D-(+)-glucose (6), isocorilagin (7), macabarterin (8) 등 8종류의 가수분해형 탄닌을 단리하였으며, 각 화합물에 대한 항산화 활성 및 항염활성 시험을 실시하였다. 항산화 활성은 DPPH 라디칼 소거법을 사용하였으며, 단리된 화합물 모두 대조군으로 사용된 BHT 및 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol에 비하여 매우 우수한 항산화 활성을 나타냈다. 항염활성 시험 결과 methyl gallate, 1,2,3,6-tetra-O-galloyl-${\beta}$-D-glucose 그리고 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-${\beta}$-D-glucose가 NO생성을 억제하였으며, 특히 methyl gallate가 가장 높은 NO 생성 억제효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났으나 항염제로 이용될 수 있는 효능을 가지고 있지는 않았다. 이와 같은 결과를 토대로 계수나무의 가수분해형 탄닌 화합물은 항염제보다 합성 항산화제를 대체할 수 있는 천연 항산화 소재로써의 적용 가능성을 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 임해매립지에 식재된 조경수목의 피해도와 식재환경으로서 그 영향요인을 분석하고자 하였다. 중부권역과 남부권역의 8개 임해매립지에 식재된 총 42종 1,233주의 수목피해도와 총 6수종 130주의 가지길이 생장량을 조사하였고, 토양의 염분함량, 토양경도, 토양산도, 배수시설 설치여부 등의 토양환경 요인과 해안으로부터의 이격거리 등 임해매립지에서의 식재 환경요인을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 상록침엽수종의 평균 피해도는 32%로 낙엽수종의 평균 피해도 52%보다 낮았다. 피해도가 낮은 수종은 해송, 섬잣나무, 가이즈까 향나무, 아왜나무, 동백나무, 후박나무 등이었고, 피해도가 높은 수종은 단풍나무, 목련, 배롱나무, 감나무, 계수나무, 마가목, 왕벚나무, 소나무, 모과나무, 자귀나무, 느티나무 등이었다. 임해매립지 식재수목의 피해는 토양염분의 영향보다는 강한 해풍, 높은 토양경도, 척박한 토양의 영향이 큰 것으로 판단된다. 수목이 피해를 받는 토양 염분농도 0.03% 이하를 유지하기 위해서는 갯벌토양에서 뿌리 분가지 최소 1.7m의 성토가 필요한 것으로 분석되었으며. 토심 77cm가지 뿌리가 뻗어있는 것으로 조사된 근권층의 토양경도는 4.Skg/㎥로 높았다. 토양산도도 총 25개 시료 중 22개 시료가 pH 3.72~5.85의 산성토양으로 분석되었다. 동일 수종의 경우, 해안에서 이격거리가 큰 경우, 배수시설이 설치되어 있는 경우에 그 피해도가 낮게 나타났다.
