  • In the present study, water extracts of Acanthopanax divaricatus var, albeofructus and Eleutherococcus divaricatus var. chiisanensis were prepared and their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects were compared. The water extract of Acanthopanax divaricatus var, albeofructus showed significantly higher activity in total polyphenol and flavonoid contents, while there were no significant differences in ABTS/DPPH radical scavenging activities and ferric reducing antioxidant power. However, the water extract of Eleutherococcus divaricatus var. chiisanensis at the highest dose showed significantly lower capacity in nitric oxide production than that of Acanthopanax divaricatus var, albeofructus. Taken together, there were differences between Acanthopanax divaricatus var, albeofructus and Eleutherococcus divaricatus var. chiisanensis in total polyphenol/flavonoid contents and anti-inflammatory effect, however, the antioxidant effect was almost similar.

  • Inflammation caused by active oxygen and the resulting barrier damage have been consistently pointed out as the cause of wrinkle formation. In this study, effective index ingredient search and efficacy analysis were performed to verify the value of use as a functional cosmetic material related to antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin barrier improvement, and anti-aging for extracts of four types of Eleutherococcus divaricatus var. chiisanensis (ED), Eleutherococcus senticosus (EN), Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus (ES), and Eleutherococcus sieboldianus (EI) belonging to the Eleutherococcus genus. To identify the effective index composition, the content of the ingredients was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. The content of eleutheroside E and chlorogenic acid was the highest in ED among the Eleutherococcus genus. As for anti-oxidant activity, DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in ED. In anti-inflammatory effects, ED extracts inhibited nitric oxide generation in inflammatory macrophage cells due to lipopolysaccharide by 40% at 100 ㎍/mL. In the case of IL-6 inhibition, which is known as a pro-inflammatory cytokine, ED showed 41% inhibition at 100 ㎍/mL. In addition, filaggrin and involucrin, which are skin barrier-related factors, were increased by 2.5 times and 1.6 times, respectively, in 100 ㎍/mL of ED extracts, and as for the collagenase, which is a wrinkle-related factor, ED extract showed 29% efficacy at 100 ㎍/mL. Thus, these result suggested that ED extract, among the four Eleutherococcus genus, can be used as a cosmetic ingredient for suppressing inflammation in the skin, reinforcing the skin barrier, and reducing wrinkles.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the flora of indigenous habitat of Donghae-si and Samcheok-si in Gangwon-do, Korea. The vascular plants were collected 18 times (from March to October 2011), and were identified as 804 taxa; 127 families, 445 genera, 720 species, 8 subspecies, 69 varieties, 5 forms and 2 hybrids. In the flora of this area, the calcicolous plants were 55 taxa; Cheilanthes argentea, Clematis serratifoliam, Quercus variabilis. Epipactis papillosa, etc. The endangered plants designated and protected by the wildlife protection law, the Ministry of Environment, Korean were counted to one taxon; Cymbidium macrorhizum. The red list of vascular plants according to IUCN valuation basis were examined, endangered species (EN); Prunus yedoensis and Cymbidium macrorhizum, Vulnerable species (VU); Juniperus chinensis, Pulsatilla tongkangensis, Diarthron linifolium and Swertia wilfordii, Near Threatened species (NT); Paeonia japonica, Allium senescens, Epipactis papillosa and Pogonia minor, Least Concern species (LC); Asplenium ruta-muraria, Platycladus orientalis, Monotropa hypopithys and Eleutherococcus divaricatus var. chiisanensis, etc., Data Deficient species (DD); Paeonia lactiflora var. trichocarpa, and Not Evaluate species (NE); Prunus choreiana, Panax ginseng and Polygonatum infundiflorum etc. Korean endemic plants of this area were 26 taxa; Aconitum pseudolaeve, Corydalis hirtipes, Vicia chosenensis, Salvia chanroenica and Hemerocallis hakuunensis, etc. The floristic regional indicator plants found in this area were 130 taxa comprising 11 taxa of grade V, 15 taxa of grade IV, 33 taxa of grade III, 15 taxa of grade II, 56 taxa of grade I. The naturalized plants were identified as 67 taxa and the percent of naturalized index (NI) was 8.3% of total 804 taxa vascular plants.

  • The present study aimed to clarify flora living at the area of Restoration Center for Endangered Species in Yeongyang, Gyeongbuk Province. In May, August, and September 2019 and in May and July 2020, all of vascular plants were recorded, and endangered, Korea endemic, and exotic plant species were further identified. The study site contained a total of 418 floral taxa (98 families, 261 genera, 384 species, 4 subspecies, 27 variations, and 3 formations), in which Magnoliophyta accounted for larger proportion (95.2%) than Pteridophyta (3.6%) and Pinophyta (1.2%). In addition, 1 endangered (Cypripedium macranthos Sw.) and 5 Korea endemic species (Aconitum pseudolaeve Nakai, Eleutherococcus divaricatus var. chiisanensis [Nakai] C.H. Kim & B.-Y. Sun, Lonicera subsessilis Rehder, Paulownia coreana Uyeki, and Weigela subsessilis [Nakai] L.H. Bailey) were detected. The number of exotic species was 33, consisting of 4 invasive-exotic, 4 potentially invasive-exotic, and 25 non-invasive species. Compared to a previous assessment before the establishment of the center (in 2014), there were increases in total floral taxa (from 361 to 418), endangered species (from 0 to 1), and exotic species (from 26 to 33). These results possibly reflect temporal changes in floral community, which should be confirmed through subsequent long term monitoring.

  • 제주지역에 분포하는 특산식물의 현황을 알아보기 위해 지난 2007년부터 2010년까지 현지조사를 실시하여 44과 75속 63종 17변종 13품종으로 총 93분류군에 대한 자생지 환경, 개체군 동태, 생육특성 및 위협요인 등에 대한 자료를 구축하였다. 이중 세계적으로 제주지역에만 분포하는 제주특산식물은 긴다람쥐꼬리(Huperzi integrifolium) 등 27과 46속 36종 12변종 8품종으로 총 56분류군으로 분석되었으며, 제주도를 포함하여 우리나라에만 분포하는 한국특산식물은 구상나무(Abies koreana) 등 20과 28속 24종 4변종 4품종으로 총 32분류군인 것으로 파악되었다. 그리고 조사대상 특산식물 중 바위좀고사리(Asplenium sarelii var. anogrammoides) 등 5분류군은 분류학적 검토와 함께 특산식물여부에 대한 검토가 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. 그리고 개나리(Forsythia koreana)는 조경용으로 식재된 종이므로 제주지역에 자생지가 확인된 특산식물은 39과 70속 59종 16변종 12품종으로 총 87분류군으로 볼 수 있다. 제주지역의 특산식물은 해안지대에서 확인된 갯겨이삭(Puccinellia coreensis)부터 한라산 정상에서 자라는 한라솜다리(Leontopodium hallaisanense)까지 제주도 전역 분포하고 있으나 종에 따라 서로 다른 분포특성을 보였다. 특히, 한라산 해발 1,400m 이상 아고산대에 집중 분포하는 특성을 보였다. 특산식물의 자생지내 개체군의 동태를 보면 대부분의 식물이 개체수 및 분포범위가 한정되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 더욱이 지리산오갈피(Eleutherococcus divaricatus var. chiisanensis)는 2개체만이 확인되어 종보전이 시급한 것으로 조사되었고, 한라솜다리, 모데미풀(Megaleranthis saniculifolia), 한라각시둥굴레(Polygonatum humile var. humillimum) 등 상당수의 식물 종이 수십 개체 이내로 매우 적은 개체수를 유지하고 있었다. 제주지역에 분포하는 특산식물은 인위적 또는 자연적 요인으로 인해 많은 자생지 면적감소나 개체수 감소 등의 위협요인을 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 중산간 이하에 자라는 특산식물은 접근성 등이 용이하여 도채 등의 위험성이 높은 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 한라산국립공원 내에 분포하는 특산식물은 인위적 훼손 위험성은 상대적으로 낮은 편이나 자연적 요인 즉, 식생변화 등으로 인해 자생지 및 개체수 감소가 이루어질 것으로 보여 체계적인 종 보존전략이 마련되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 제주지역 특산식물 중 자생지가 확인된 식물 종을 대상으로 근연종 분석 등을 통해 유용성을 분석하면 식물체 일부가 약용으로 가능한 식물 종이 개족도리(Asarum maculatum) 등 전체의 67.1%를 차지하였고, 관상용으로 활용가치가 높은 식물 종은 구상나무(Abies koreana) 등 전체의 60.2%인 것으로 분석되었으나 대부분의 종이 희소성의 가치가 있어 모든 특산식물이 관상용으로 이용가치가 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 제주지역에서 확인된 특산식물 중 전체적으로 90.9%가 유용성이 있는 것으로 나타나고 있으며 아직까지 유용성에 대한 정보가 미흡한 종도 자원적인 연구접근에 따라 다양한 자원으로 활용가치가 있는 것으로 판단된다.
