Ginkgo trees have long been planted in Korea as roadside trees and ornamental trees, but the wood was seldom used except some utilization f3r small artifacts. Soaring prices of imported wood and future uncertainty about long-term supply of foreign woods have stimulated research on value-added utilization of less-utilized domestic wood resources such as Ginkgo wood. The processing properties of Ginkgo wood were investigated to determine its utilization potential in this study, and the results of treatability, drying characteristics, gluability, paintability, bending properties, chemical discoloration characteristics were presented.

This study was conducted to understand and to compare the qualitative aspects of anatomical characteristics in compression wood (CW), lateral wood (LW), and opposite wood (OW) in a stem of Ginkgo biloba. The qualitative analysis was examined by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. CW in Ginkgo biloba disks were dark brown in color, and the OW and LW were light brown in color. CW and OW showed abrupt transitions from earlywood to latewood, while LW showed a gradual transition. Cross sections of CW presented circular tracheids with angular outlines, many intercellular spaces, and varying sizes of lumens. Cross sections of LW and OW showed rectangular tracheids, fewer intercellular spaces, and varying sizes of lumens. In radial sections, CW showed an irregular arrangement of tracheids in earlywood, while LW and OW showed comparatively regular arrangements. Slit-like bordered pits on the tracheid cell wall, piceoid pits in the crossfield, and a few spiral checks were present in CW. LW and OW showed bordered pits with slightly oval-shaped apertures, as well as cuppresoid pits in the crossfields. Rays were primarily uniseriate, with few biseriate rays in the tangential sections of CW, LW, and OW. The tips of the tracheids were branched in CW but had a normal appearance in LW and OW.

The objective of this study is to identify the species of 17 wooden Buddhist statues of the late Joseon Dynasty (the 17th and 18th century) in Jeollado, southwestern region of Korea. The bodies of statues were made of Ginkgo (Gingko biloba L.: 88%) and alder (Alnus spp.: 12%). The hands of statues were alder(64%), willow (Salix spp.: 27%) and Ginkgo(9%). The bottoms of hollow bodies were covered all with Japanese red-pine (Pinus densiflora S. et Z., 'sonamu') panels. The main species of statue body, Ginkgo tree was known to be introduced to Korea from China with Buddhism. The results indicated that Ginkgo trees of Korea in the 17th century had already become large and rich enough to be used for most of statues. Ginkgo wood has low shrinkage and even texture, which are crucial for carving sculptures. Alder and willow woods used for statue hands have fine and firm textures. The pedestals for these statues were also made of red pine wood. Red pine woods have rather high shrinkage and low hardness, but it is versatile woods strong enough to support heavy statues.

안성 석남사 영산전에 쓰인 주요 목부재의 수종을 식별하기 위하여 기둥, 창방, 대들보, 서까래, 청판 등 총 95점에 대하여 조사하였다. 수종은 소나무류(경송류), 외래산 소나무류, 느티나무, 은행나무, 감나무속, 배나무속, 참나무속의 상수리나무류 등 7 수종이 식별되었다. 기둥에서는 소나무류(경송류) 8점, 느티나무 1점, 배나무속 1점이 확인되었다. 추녀에서는 은행나무 2점과 느티나무 2점, 대들보에서는 소나무 1점과 느티나무 1점이 나왔다. 주심도리는 2점 모두 상수리나무류이었고, 서까래에서는 은행나무 1점과 외래산 소나무류 1점을 제외하고는 나머지는 소나무류인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 적심목에서 느티나무 1점과 감나무속 1점이 나왔다. 다른 부재는 소나무류가 대부분이었다. 서까래에서 나온 외래산 소나무 1점은 해방 이후 영산전 수리 시 사용된 것으로 추정되었다. 소나무류 이외에 다양한 수종의 목재가 사용된 것은 사찰 인근에서 쉽게 구할 수 있는 수종들을 이용하였기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

The peroxidase activity was localized cytochemically to get an insight into its precise function in lignin biosynthesis. In this work, cerium chloride ($CeCl_3$) was used as a trapping agent for hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) generated from peroxidase. Seasonal variation of peroxidase activities in cambial region of Populus, Pinus, and Ginkgo was investigated at subcellular levels. Under transmission electron microscopy, electron dense deposits of cerium perhydroxide formed by reaction with $H_2O_2$ were observed in cambium and its immediate derivatives. The staining with $CeCl_3$ in cambium varied with growth seasons. The strongest $H_2O_2$ accumulation, regardless of tree species, appeared in May. Staining pattern of $CeCl_3$ in the cambium of poplar indicated that the production of peroxidase started in March before the opening of buds and reached the highest in May and then declined in August. Ginkgo and Pinus showed relatively late generation of $H_2O_2$ production when compared with Populus. Although Ginkgo and Pinus are classified into gymnosperms, however, the generation of peroxidase production and its duration was different from each other. Little staining appeared in all the tree samples collected in September before falling the leaves.

In order to elucidate the formation of reaction tissues during the transition from primary to secondary growth, the developmental anatomy was conducted in the first internode of Ginkgo biloba seedling in horizontal position. The righting of the horizontal first internode took place at the middle portion and gradually proceeded to the base during the primary growth. Reaction tissues were formed corresponding to the righting movement in the horizontal first internode. During the transition from primary to secondary growth, compression wood was gradually developed on the lower side only. The anatomical features of compression wood also extended longitudinally to the lower side of the vertical portion where it coincided with the lower side of the horizontal first internode occurs acropetally from basal to apical portion. Eventually, some of the anatomical features of compression wood occurred at the primary growth. And the typical compression wood is gradually established during the secondary growth. On the other hand, the lower side tracheid and ray were longer and higher than those of the upper side in the horizontal first internode. However, difference in the width of ray was not observed between the lower and upper sides.

End-matched disks of 7.7cm thickness were part-time dried in vacuum press dryer to investigate the drying characteristics by using drying schedules and end treatments. The ginkgo disks could be dried faster with severer end checks and ring failures by C schedule than by S schedule. There were no significant differences in drying rates and amounts of end checks, ring failures and V-shaped checks occurred between ginkgo disks end-taped with Korean traditional paper (KTP) and those untreated. The drying time of walnut disks was slightly reduced by end-taping with KTP. And the length of end checks and V-shaped checks and the frequency of defected disk were decreased more effectively than those untreated. The tangential strains and tangential drying stresses near bark sides of ginkgo and walnut disk untreated were developed in the early stage of drying and incresed slightly curvi-linearly above fiber saturation point (fsp) and more curvi-linearly below fsp. The influence of end-taping with KTP on the drying rate for impermeable walnut disk was stronger than that for permeable ginkgo disk.

The antimicrobial effect of the Ginkgo biloba leaves extracts, Wood flavor and 1% sorbic for the total microorganics in beef examined by serial dilution method. As a result of using GLEA(T20), GLW80, Wood flavor and 1% sorbic acid by serial dilution method, it was revealed that wood flavor is most antibiotic. The decreased of wood flavor 82.80%, GLEA(T20) 73.44%, sorbic acid 66.33%, GLW80 64.36%, was compared with not treated.

은행나무 추출물의 생리활성에 대한 실험결과, 그 추출물이 GAG release에 의한 IL-1의 억제효과(87%)를 나타냄을 관찰하였다. 그 추출물을 chromatography로 분리한후 분광학적 분석을 이용하여 그 함유물질들이 anarchardic acid 및 그와 유사한 페놀성 물질임을 밝혔다. 각 성분에 대하여 활성효과를 다시 실험한 결과, 주성분인 IIIb와 IIIc는 활성효과를 보이지 않았으며, 단지, 소량물질인 Va와 Vb만이 중간 정도의 효과(각각 43과 55%)를 나타내었다. 이 결과에 의하면, 은행나무의 추출성분이 IL-1의 억제효과를 분명히 나타내나, 그 효과가 주성분에 기인하는 것이 아님을 보여 주었다.
