For the investigations on the mechanism of blast disease resistance in the rice variety 'Toilg-il', Ihe chemical contents such as silicate, nitrogen and flavonoid in the leaf blades of tile variety were determined as compared to moderately susceptible variety 'Pung-kwang' A correlation between disease severity of rice blast and the chemical contents in the variety 'Pung-kwang' were also studied. The results showed that silicate and flavonoid contents were decreased inversely with application of nitrogen fertilizer, and negative correlation between silicate and flavonoid contents and disease severity in the field were observed. In the resistant variety 'Tong-il', these chemical contents and silicified cells were significantly higher than in the variety 'Pung-kwang' From these results, it seemed that the high contents of silicate and flavonoid in the leaf blades were related closely to the resistance of the variety 'Tong-il'.

The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effects of O. robusta stem extract (ORE) and to determine the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents. Free radical scavenging properties were evaluated using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)), and ·OH (hydroxyl radical) scavenging assays. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were measured using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and aluminum chloride colorimetric methods, respectively. Active compounds of ORE were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results of the study showed that ORE exhibited DPPH, ABTS, and ·OH radical scavenging activities in a dose-dependent manner. Especially, 1,000 ㎍/mL of ORE showed the strongest radical scavenging properties against DPPH, ABTS, and ·OH. ORE contained total polyphenol content of 57.4 mg GAE/g and total flavonoid content of 5.4 mg QE/g, which may contribute to their antioxidant effects. As a result of HPLC, the contents of active compounds in ORE, dihydrokaempferol (0.65 ㎍/mL), and 3-O-methylquercetin (1.10 ㎍/mL) were confirmed. In conclusion, ORE may be useful as a functional material with antioxidant properties.

The antioxidant activities and flavonoid contents of the mulberry leaves and the ginko leaves teas were investigated. The antioxidant activities were examined by FRAP and DPPH radical scavenging assays, and total phenolic content and the flavonoid contents by HPLC were also determined. The ginko leaves tea showed the highest antioxidant activities and antioxidant contents, while the wild mulberry leaves tea showed the lowest. The antioxidant activities of the mixture tea of wild mulberry leaves and ginko leaves were increased more than the wild mulberry leaves tea. The flavonoid contents of the leaves(ginko, wild mulberry and mixture) powders were higher than those of infusion teas. Compared with wild mulberry tea, the mixture tea showed a little increase of flavonoid contents. The total phenolic contents and the flavonoid contents of the teas showed good correlations with their antioxidant activities, such as FRAP and DPPH radical scavenging activities(${\geq}0.8727$). The antioxidant capacities of wild mulberry leaves tea could be enhanced by the addition of the ginko leaves.

Apple and pear are popular fruits consumed in Korea and are common fruit in daily diet. In order to compare the antioxidant activity of the apple and pear peels, total polyphenol contents, total flavonoid contents, $ABTS^+$ free radical scavenging activity, and DPPH free radical scavenging activity were measured from hot water, ethanol, and methanol extracts of the two fruit peels. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were highest in 95% methanol extracts of the apple peelsand 70% ethanol extract of the pear peels, respectively. Total polyphenol contents of the pear peels were higher than that of apple peels, and total flavonoid contents of the apple peels were higher than that of pear peels. The apple and pear peels had the highest $ABTS^{+{\cdot}}$ and DPPH free radical scavenging activity in 95% methanol extracts and 70% ethanol extracts, respectively. $ABTS^{+{\cdot}}$ and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of pear peels was higher than that of apple peels, and the DPPH free radical scavenging activity of apple and pear peels were detected in hot water, 95% methanol, and 70% ethanol extracts, respectively. Ascorbic acid, a synthetic antioxidant used as positive control, had significantly higher scavenging activity than the apple and pear peels. In conclusion, the apple and pear peelshave great potential as natural antioxidants. Therefore, above results should be considered to provide the possibility for the development of high functional antioxidants.

Antioxidant activity of Astragalus membranaceus, Polygonatum stenophyllum, Angelica gigas, Acanthopanax sessiliflorus and Angelica pubescens extracts cultivated in Jecheon prepared with different solvents were determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrzyl(DPPH) radical scarvenging ability and thiocyanate method . The highest hydroxy radical scarvenging activity was shown in Acanthopanax sessiliflorus, while the lowest was in Polygonatum stenophyllum. Angelica gigas showed strong antioxidant activity by thiocyanate method. Methanol extracts and water extracts showed higher antioxidant activities than ethanol extracts. Angelica pubescens showed the highest polyphenol contents and Acanthopanax sessiliflorus showed the highest flavonoid contents. Direct correlation between the hydroxy radical scavenging activity and polyphenol contents or flavonoid contents was established by simple regression(r>0.8) in each solvent extracts. Among medicinal plants cultivated in Jecheon, Acanthopanax sessiliflorus and Angelica pubescens showed strong antioxidant activities. These results suggest that methanol or water extracts of several medicinal plant cultivated in Jecheon could be used as natural antioxidants.
