In the present study, the antinociceptive profiles of Dianthus chinensis L extract were examined in ICR mice. Dianthus chinensis L extract administered orally (200 mg/kg) showed an antinociceptive effect as measured by the tail-flick and hot-plate tests. In addition, Dianthus chinensis L extract attenuated the writhing numbers in the acetic acid-induced writhing test. Furthermore, the cumulative nociceptive response time for intrathecal (i.t.) injection of substance P ($0.7\;{\mu}g$) was diminished by Dianthus chinensis L extract. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) pretreatment with yohimbine ($\alpha_2$-adrenergic receptor antagonist) attenuated antinociceptive effect induced by Dianthus chinensis L extract in the writhing test. However, naloxone (opioid receptor antagonist) or methysergide (5-HT serotonergic receptor antagonist) did not affect antinociception induced by Dianthus chinensis L extract in the writhing test. Our results suggest that Dianthus chinensis L extract shows an antinociceptive property in various pain models. Furthermore, this antinociceptive effect of Dianthus chinensis L extract may be mediated by $\alpha_2$-adrenergic receptor, but not opioidergic and serotonergic receptors.

This study was carried out to investigate the growth and rooting of cutting time, media and plug cell size in Dianthus spp and Coreopsis spp. A rooting rate was the low in lated rooting time rooting rate was the over 90% in 20th May and 20th August otherwise was the 82% and 87% in 20th September. Media of rooting was the over the 90% in all treatment media and sand media was low. Number of rooting was the best in peatmoss(1)+perlite(1) media. The size of plug cell was the 98% in 162 plug cell in Coreopsis spp. The 162-200 plug cell size was the 95.8-96% in Dianthus spp.

'Gu Maig(瞿麥)' is one of the Chinese crude drugs used mainly to cure a diuretic, gonorhoea and menostasis, etc. With regard to the botanical origin of 'Gu Maig', it has been considered to be Dianthus spp. of Caryophyllaceae, but there has not been studied pharmacognostically. To clarify the botanical origin of the "Gu Maig", the morphological and anatomical characteristics of the leaves and stems of Dianthus species growing in Korea, i.e. D. sinensis, D. superbus var. longicalycinus, D. repens, D. morii, D. superbus var. speciosus were compared. As a result, it was determined that 'Gu Maig' was the whole plant body of Dianthus sinensis and D. superbus var. longicalycinus.

The component and pharmacologic action on Dianthus sinensis L. were investigated as follows: 1) The components of Dianthus sinensis L. were suggested 8 kind of components by means of thin layer chromatography and paper chromatography. The one of them were suggested as a steroidal saponin by means of IR-spectrum and Liebermann-Burchard, Salkowiski, $SbCl_3$ reaction. 2) Sodium level in serum were reduced by administration of the sample to the rabbits, while in urine were elevated. 3) Blood sugar level of normal rabbits administered with sample, no significant variation were detected. 4) When the hyperglycemic rabbits treated with alloxan were administered sample, blood-sugar level were significantly decreased than control group.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of stem node number, pinching time and growth retardants on the growth of Coreopsis spp. and Dianthus spp. Thy day of seedings are not passed period of 4 weeks after seedlings in the Cutting number and the days seedlings of joint experiments of Coreopsis spp. 2 node ranches treatment of Coreopsis spp. are reasonable valuable as ornamental pot product. Pinching time of Coreopsis spp. was more effectiveis on lateral and growth inhibition in the two times pinching treatment. It is observed that plant growth inhibitors was affected the growth of Coreopsis spp. It is observed that B-9 treatment is the effective plants growth and differentiation, especially the 2 times treatment with 4,000 ppm was the most effective. On the other hand, CCC treatment showed significant differences. B-9 treatment of Coreopsis spp was more effectived than the other treatment. Pinching and plant growth inhibitors of Dianthus spp. was not good the growth and plant height. Compared with B-9 4,000 ppm 2 times and control increased leaves extremely. it confirmed that the things are positively affective.

A potyvirus causing chlorotic mottle and yellow spots on leaves of Dianthus barbatus was isolated and identified as an isolate of Carnation vein mottle virus (CVMV). Purified preparations of Chenopodium quinoa infected with CVMV-K showed filamentous particles between 695 and 785 om long. Many cytoplasmic inclusions were observed, and these consisted of pinwheels, dense bands, loops, and circles. The coat protein of CVMV-K was about 32 KDa in western blot analysis using a CVMV antibody. The nucleotide sequence of coat protein gene showed 97.6％ homology with a Japanese isolate. The genome size of CVMV-K was about 9.0 kb by dsRNA analysis. These results indicate that the virus is an isolate of CVMV. This is the first report on CVMV in Korea.

Effect of temperature, pH and soil depth on germination of Dianthus chinensis, Dianthus barbatus, and Perennial pennant were investigated in growth chamber and soil condition at the ratio of 7:3 (natural soil and organic soil) in laboratory condition. the optimum temperature for seed germination was recorded for $20^{\circ}C-\;25^{\circ}C$. Maximum germination was observed for Dianthus barbatus (76%) where as in soil condition Perennial pennant (51%) showed maximum germination at 1 cm soil depth. Similarly, optimum pH for seed germination was at pH 6 in all the species. So in lower pH (at pH4) seed germination was inhibited. Germination of these selected species at different environmental condition help to construct the ecological sound proof wall to mitigate the noise especially in urban areas.

Ten species of herbae, which have been used to treat cancers in Chinese medicine, were tested to investigate their mutagenicity or antimutagenicity in S. typhimurium TA97, TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1538. Scolopendra centipede was weakly active in reversion of the frameshift mutation in S. typhimurium TA97 strain and the base-pair substitution in TA100 and TA1535 strains. Other herbae such as Coix lachryma, Dianthus superbus, Tricanthoshse kirilowii, Eupatorium formosanum, Lithospermum erythrorhizon, Ansaema japonicum, Curcuma zedoaria, Helicteres angustifolia, and Euonymus sieboldianus did not show any of the mutagenic potential, regardless of the metabolic activation with rat hepatic microsomal fraction. Dianthus superbus, Eupatorium formosanum, and Euonymus sieboldianus exhibited suppressive activities on microbial mutagenesis of N-methyl-N'-nitrosoguanidine, a base-pair substitution mutagen, in TA1535 and TA100 tester strains. The antimutagenic activities of Dianthus superbus and Euonymus sieboldianus appeared to be dose-dependant.

Two newly recorded alien plants Geranium dissectum L. (Geraniaceae) and Dianthus armeria L. (Caryophyllaceae) have been found in Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do and in Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, of South Korea, respectively. Geranium dissectum can be easily distinguished from other related Korean taxa by fruit with glandular hairs and distinctly reticulated seeds. Dianthus armeria can also be distinguished from other related Korean taxa by its cyme and pubescent calyx. We provide descriptions of the morphological characters, illustrations, photographs and a key to allied taxa.

A new Dianthus cultivar 'URI 2010-6' was selected among F1 progenies from a cross between interspecific hybrid 'Evergreen Emerald' as the seed parent and D. chinensis ' Ruby' as the pollen parent. In 2007, the cross w as made, and the seedlings of $F_1$ progenies were obtained and investigated. After three rounds of characteristic evaluation from 2008 to 2010, a clone was selected and registered as 'URI 2010-6' at the Korea Seed and Variety Service (plant variety protection number: 4431) in 2011. The flower of 'URI 2010-6' is caryophyllaceous, single type, and mainly bright red (Red, N79C) with secondary white (White, N155C) on the edge or as spots on the petal. The flower has diameter of 2.7 cm and length of 0.8 cm. This cultivar blooms continuously about 150 d on average and may be used as evergreen plant during winter months.
