This study conducted the experiment of reduction of Volatile Organic Compounds(VOCs) and Formaldehyde concentration by Native plants, Fatsia japonica and Ardisia pusilla. The two plants are advantageous in that they are highly available as they grow wild, and being easy to get. Fatsia japonica is a plant of its wide and large leaf diverged 7 or 8 parts, which is thought to have a high effect of air purification. Ardisia pusilla has a smaller leaf than Fatsia japonica, which is characterized by more leaves and beautiful. Field measurements were performed using Fatsia japonica and Ardisia pusilla which were verified as air-purifying plants in Korea. The effect of reducing the concentration of VOCs and Formaldehyde by plant studied in a full scale mock-up model. The dimensions of the two models were equal. The concentration of Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylene, Stylene, Formaldehyde were monitored, since they were known as most toxic materials. The concentration of VOCs was monitored three hours after the plants were placed and three days after the plants were placed. Field measurements were performed in models where the plants were placed and were not. As a result, they had all an effect of reducing pollution. In all cases of experiment of planting and growing volume, the more planting volume, the more excellent the effect. Toluene was more effective in Fatsia japonica and Ardisia pusilla planted, Formaldehyde was more effective in Fatsia japonica planted respectively. In planting and growing and placing experiment, the placement at sunny spot was more effective than that at scattered growing. When Fatsia japonica was placed at sunny spot, the reduction effect of Formaldehyde was the most excellent, and when Ardisia pusilla was placed at sunny spot, the reduction effect of Toluene was the most effective.

Fatsia japonica is grown wild to Eastern Asia, including Korea, Japan, and Taiwan and it is known as ornamental plant, and it is also known that pharmacological action. In this study, we have selected the stem of F. japonica with consideration about biological activities and amount of yield. In addition, four compounds (1-4) were isolated from the stem of F. japonica. Extensive spectroscopic and chemical studies established the structures of these compounds as maltose (1), begoniifolide A (2), leiyemudanoside B (3), leonticin F (4). All of the compounds were investigated for their anti-inflammatory, anti-neuroinflammatory, and neuro-protective effects on RAW264.7, BV2, and HT22 cells. However, among four compounds, there were no effects by maltose (1), begoniifolide A (2), leiyemudanoside B (3), leonticin F (4) on the anti-inflammatory, anti-neuroinflammatory, and neuro-protective action. This is the first report on the isolation of maltose (1), begoniifolide A (2), leiyemudanoside B (3), leonticin F (4) from the stem of F. japonica. Begoniifolide A (2), leiyemudanoside B (3), leonticin F (4) were isolated for the first time from this plant. It might be necessary to continue the further studies to find the biological active compounds isolated from the stem of F. japonica.

This research was performed to investigate the effect of formaldehyde removal and confirm the utility of plants as indoor environment improvement systems. The plant materials used in this study were Fatsia japonica, Ardisia japonica, Ardisia pusilla and Davallia mariesii. Plants were placed in an airtight chamber under artificial formaldehyde. The initial formaldehyde concentration in the chamber was $500{\pm}30ppb$, and the conditions of $1,500{\sim}2,000lux$ light, $25{\pm}5^{\circ}C$ temperature and $80{\sim}90%$ humidity were maintained. Each chamber was treated as no plant, plant-only and Plant+soil. The total leaf number for Davallia mariesii, Ardisia japonica, Ardisia pusilla, and Fatsia japonica was 40.8, 48.6, 62.3, and 11.8 respectively. The total leaf space n of those plant materials were $2,385cm^2,\;1,252cm^2,\;2,468cm^2\;and\;1,262cm^2$ respectively. The formaldehyde concentration was reduced to $80{\sim}90%$ of the initial concentration in plant-only and Plant+Soil treatment chamber of all species in 12 hours. In the plant-only chamber, Fatsia japonica had removed formaldehyde density by 95% after 12 hours while Ardisia japonica had removed 90%. In the case of Ardisia pusilla, the early removal rate was higher in the plant-only treatment chamber than the Plant+Soil treatment chamber. The formaldehyde removal rate of Davallia mariesii was 98% after 12 hours. In the Plant+Soil treatment chamber, the amount of removal of formaldehyde per time of Davallia mariesii, Ardisia japonica, Ardisia pusilla, and Fatsia japonica was 20.42ppb/hr, 16.28ppb/hr, 2.5.42ppb/hr, 10.28ppb/hr respectively. In the plant-only, That was 22.50ppb/hr, 20.97ppb/hr, 20.83ppb/hr, 20.97ppb/hr respectively.

Hedera helix 11계통, Hedera rhombea 3계통, Fatshedera lizei 1계통, 그리고 Fatsia japonica 1계통을 수집하였다. RAPD primer 10개를 이용하여 수집된 3속의 재료들의 유전적 다양성을 측정하였다. 3속을 재료로 사용하여 밴드간 96.9%의 높은 다형성을 보였다. 총 97개의 RAPD 밴드를 이진화하여 UPGMA 방법을 이용하여 계통도를 작성하였다. Hedera helix 계통들은 모두 1개의 그룹에 속하였으며 8계통의 유전적 거리는 극도로 적었으며 나머지 3계통 역시 유전적으로 가까웠다. 하지만 형태적으로는 높은 다형성을 보였다. 따라서 수집된 유전자원을 이용한 돌연변이체 개발이 가능성이 있는 방법으로 제시되었다. Fatsia japonica는 유전적으로 관계성이 적어 다른 종들과 평균 0.63의 유전적 거리를 보였다. Hedera helix와 Fatsia japonica 속간 교배를 통하여 개발된 Fatshedera lizei는 Hedera rhombea 계통들과 함께 계통도에서 위치하였다.

A leaf blight caused by a species of Phytophthora was found on fatsia plants (Fatsia japonica Decne et Planch.) growing in an apartment garden in Daegu, Korea in late April to May, 2003. The species of Phytophthora isolated from the diseased plants produced sporangia and sex organs on V8 juice agar medium. Sporangia were papillate, ovoid to subspherical, and caducous with a pedicel. The dimensions of the sporangia were $31.2-46.8\times23.4-33.2{\mu}m$ in range, $39.6\pm4.1\times28.3\pm2.8{\mu}m$ in $average{\pm}standard$ deviation, I/b ratio approximately 1.40, with papillae about $3.6{\mu}m$ high, and pedicels $0.9­5.8{\mu}m$ long. Oogonia were spherical, $25.0-32.5{\mu}m$ in range with an average of $28.2\pm2.3{\mu}m$ in diameter. Antheridia were predominantly paragynous, globose to ovoid, $8.8-13.8\times7.5-10.0{\mu}m$ with an average of $10.9\pm1.2 \times9.2\pm1.1{\mu}m$. Oospores in the oogonia were aplerotic or plerotic, and $20.0-25.0{\mu}m$ in diameter with an average of $23.5\pm1.5{\mu}m$. Pathogenicity of the isolate was confirmed on detached leaves of fatsia. The disease was observed only in April and May of 2003 when the weather was unusually wet. It then diminished with increase of temperature in the year and did not appear again on the same plants in 2004. Thus, the fungus appeared to be a relatively weak pathogen of fatsia.

In this study, the effect of specimen size and layer thickness on the sound absorption of the leaves of two evergreen broad-leaved tree species, Dendropanax morbiferus and Fatsia japonica, was investigated. The specimen sizes of 0.5 × 0.5, 1.0 × 1.0, and 2.0 × 2.0 ㎠ and layer thicknesses of 1.00, 1.75, and 2.50 cm were considered. At the layer thickness of 2.5 cm, the leaf of the D. morbiferus showed no significant difference in sound absorption coefficients (SACs) as the sample size varied, however, a significant change in SACs was recorded in that of the F. japonica. At 1.0-cm thickness, the SACs of the F. japonica leaf varied more remarkably with the sample size. The 2.50-cm-thick F. japonica leaf with the specimen size 0.5 × 0.5 ㎠ exhibited the highest sound absorption effect among all samples investigated.

A leaf blight disease was found on Fatsia japonica plants growing in the first author's apartment garden in May, 2003. Major symptoms were leaf blight and petiole rot. A species of Phytophthora was isolated from the lesions. The isolate readily produced sporangia and sex organs on V8 juice agar plates. Sporangia were papillate, ovoid to subspherical and caducous with a pedicel. Sporangia were 33.6-38.4 ${\times}$ 33.6$\mu\textrm{m}$ with 1/b ratio approximately 1.14, papillae 4-5$\mu\textrm{m}$ high, pedicels also 4-5$\mu\textrm{m}$ long. Oogonia were spherical, 28.8$\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter. Antheridia were globose, 14.4$\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter and mating with oogonia paragynously. Mycelia grew best at 30$^{\circ}C$ and did not grow at 35$^{\circ}C$ or above, and at 5$^{\circ}C$. The morphological characteristics conformed to P. cactorum (Leb. And Cohn) Schroeter.

It has been reported that Tat-SOD can be directly transduced into mammalian cells and skin and acts as a potential therapeutic protein in various diseases. To isolate the compound that can enhance the transduction efficiency of Tat-SOD, we screened a number of natural products. 3-O-[$\beta$-D-Glucopyranosyl(1$\rightarrow$4)-$\alpha$-L-arabinopyranosyll-hederagenin (OGAH) was identified as an active component of Fatsia japonica and is known as triterpenoid glycosides (hederagenin saponins). OGAH enhanced the transduction efficiencies of Tat-SOD into HeLa cells and mice skin. The enzymatic activities in the presence of OGAH were markedly increased in vitro and in vivo when compared with the controls. Although the mechanism is not fully understood, we suggest that OGAH, the active component of Fatsia japonica, might change the conformation of the membrane structure and it may be useful as an ingredient in anti-aging cosmetics or as a stimulator of therapeutic proteins that can be used in various disorders related to reactive oxygen species (ROS).
