In a project to study the hepatroprotective effect of some plant extracts four plants Ephedra foliate Boiss, Alhagi maurorum Medikus, Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik. and Hibiscus sabdariffa L. were studied. The ethanol extract of the aerial part of the first three plants and the flowers of H. sabdariffa were subjected to hepatoprotective assays using Wistar albino rats. Liver injury induced in rats using carbon tetrachloride. The biochemical parameters; serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and total bilirubin were estimated as reflection of the liver condition. Based on the good results of the biochemical parameters measurements, histopathological study was performed on the liver of rats treated with E. foliate. The normal appearance of hepatocytes indicated a good protection of the extract from carbon tetrachloride hepatotoxicity. All the results were compared with silymarin, the reference hepatoprotective drug.

This study was conducted to development of rapid propagation method by leaf cuttings in Hibiscus hamabo native to southern seaside of Korea, and special object of this study was to determine the effects of IAA, IBA, and NAA on rooting in leaf cuttings of H. hamabo. Rooting was promoted by dipping treated with IAA and IBA. And rooting percentage was greatest at 1,000 and 2,000$mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IBA. At higher concentrations of IAA and IBA, more adventitious roots were developed. Also, IAA at high concentrations (above 2,000$mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) and IBA ranged from 500~2,000$mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ promoted on root number and rootingratio. However, root formation in Hibiscus leaf cuttings inhibited by NAA application.

A leaf spot of cotton rose(Hibiscus mutabilis) occurred severely in the flower beds of cotton rose around Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongnam Province in Korea. The causal fungus was identified as Corynespora cassiicola on the basis of cultural and morphological characteristics of the fungus. The fungus grew well on potato dextrose agar and the colony color was gray to brown. Conidia were solitary or catenate, obclavate to cylindrical in shape, and pale olivaceous brown or brown in color. They had 420 pseudosepta, and measured $35.2{\sim}173.6{\times}8.8{\sim}19.9{\mu}m$. Conidia germinated as a bipolar type. Conidiophores were pale to mid brown in color, and measured $74.2{\sim}275.6{\times}3.8{\sim}10.8{\mu}m$. Optimal temperature for mycelial growth was $30^{\circ}C$. The fungal isolate grown on PDA showed strong pathogenicity to cotton rose plant. This is the first report on the corynespora leaf spot of cotton rose(Hibiscus mutabilis) caused by Corynespora cassiicola in Korea.

Hibiscus syriacus were surveyed to study the growing temperature, relative humidity and growing responses shown at different elevations of Kangwon Province, and results of the assessment are summarized as follows 1. Growing responses as represented by leaf length, leaf width, shoot length, number of flowers and flowering duration, were decreased as the elevation increased, while the degree of defoliation was increased. 2. The important factor determining the growing responses to the elevation was the maximum and minimum temperatures, particularly those of July, August, and September. 3. The aphid occurrence on Hibiscus syriacus decreased as the elevation increased. Leading factor determining the population was relative humidity which increased as the elevation increased.

In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial effect of 14 different herbal petal extracts on various foodborne and food spoilage bacteria. Herbal petal extracts were prepared with 70% ethanol followed by sequential hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water fractionation. Antimicrobial activity was highest in the ethanol fraction from roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) petals as determined by the paper disc method. The roselle ethanol extract retarded the growth of food spoilage bacteria in kimbap (rice rolled in dried laver). Foodborne microorganisms (e.g. Bacillus cereus and Clostridium perfringens), on the other hand, were most efficiently inhibited by the ethyl acetate fraction of the roselle petal extract as determined by growth inhibition curves. Our study shows that roselle petals harbor antimicrobial activity against foodborne and food spoilage microorganisms. The critical ingredient is highly enriched in the ethyl acetate fraction of the extract.

Southern blot analysis revealed a ubiquitous distribution and high copy number of Ty3-gypsy-like elements in the genome of Hibiscus syriacus. Comparative phylogenetic analysis of the large subunit of Rubisco and the integrase region of Ty3-gypsy elements in various plant species indicated that the retrotransposon-like sequences have different evolutionary histories and their own unique polymorphism in the H. syriacus population. Sequence-tagged site-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (STS-RFLP) analysis also indicated great variability in the numbers and sequences of Ty3-gypsy-like elements within H. syriacus varieties. Ty3-gypsy-like elements may still be active within H. syriacus, since Northern analysis of wounded leaves of H. syriacus variety Saehan with a probe for the integrase domain gave strong hybridization signals. The sequence heterogeneity and ubiquity of the Ty3-gypsy-like elements in H. syriacus genomes could provide reliable DNA markers for line identification as well for the analysis of genetic diversity in H. syriacus.

This study was performed to provide basic information of the development and breeding of new cultivars of Hibiscus syriacus L., which have more beautiful and diverse flowers. Morphological characteristics of the flowers and leaves, and genetic variation of the flowers color of two Jeoktanshim-line cultivars, Bulsae and Pyungsung, were crossed each other. The result of the cross between Bulsae and Pyungsung are as follows: Mean flower height and width were 5.35 cm and 7.69 cm, respectively. Mean length and width of petal were 5.43 cm and 3.80 cm respectively, and mean length and width of flower pistil were 4.67 cm and 0.44 cm, respectively. The flower color of all ten individuals was the color of the Jeoktanshim-line, and Pyungsung, and all flower type were I-c type.

In this study, we investigated whether Hibiscus manihot flowers (HMF) exhibits immunostimulatory activity in RAW264.7 cells. HMF increased the production of immunostimulatory factors such as NO, iNOS, IL-1β and TNF-α in RAW264.7 cells. TLR2 and TLR4 blocked HMF-mediated production of immunostimulatory factors in RAW264.7 cells. In addition, the inhibition of MAPK signaling pathway reduced HMF-mediated production of immunostimulatory factors. From these results, HMF is thought to promote the production of immunostimulatory factors through activating TLR2/4/MAPK signaling in macrophages. It is believed that HMF can be developed as an agent related to immune enhancement in the future.

본 연구는 무궁화와 무궁화속 식물의 종간 교잡하여 얻은 교잡묘의 특성을 조사하고, 기존 무궁화에 비해 꽃이 크고, 화색이 짙고 특이하며, 잎이 크고 특이하거나, 수고가 큰 교목성 등 형태 및 유전적 특성이 뛰어난 신품종을 육성하고자 하였으며 결과는 다음과 같다. 종간 교잡종 중 양친과 형태적 특성이 다르고 기존 품종에 비해 꽃이 크고 특이한 배달계 품종으로 'W-26'과 'W-27'이 나타났으며, 'WRB-2'는 백단심계로 단심이 푸른색으로 특이하였다. '칠채'(♀)와 '파랑새'(♂)의 교잡실생묘에서 선발된 'RV-25'는 대형화로 단심이 긴 특성이 있었고, 꽃이 기존 품종보다 큰 계통으로 'R-141'과 'R-142'이 있었다. 자연 방임수분된 '칠채'의 실생묘에서 선발된 계통 'R-150', 'R-151', 'R-152', 'R-153', 'R-154' 역시 잎, 꽃, 수형 등이 모본과는 형태적 특성이 다른 잎이 넓고 크며, 꽃이 크고 색이 진하고 수형 또한 큰 직립성이었다. 무궁화속 종간 교잡종 중 선발된 신품종으로는 도입된 종간 교잡 품종 '등낭'을 모본으로 하고 무궁화 홍단심계 홑꽃 교목성 무궁화 '남원'을 화분친으로 하여 교배 조합한 교잡체 중 선발된 Hibiscus ${\times}$ 'W-26'의 화색은 흰색으로 양친과 달랐다. 또한 꽃의 모양은 꽃잎의 길이가 폭보다 훨씬 길고 주걱모양으로 기존의 무궁화에서는 드문 꽃잎이 서로 겹치지 않는 I-a형에 가까웠다. 무궁화 종간교잡종 '등낭'과 무궁화 '남원'의 교잡체로부터 백단심계로 단심의 색이 푸른 'WRB-2'가 선발되었다. 백단심계 신품종 'WRB-2'의 수형은 개장형으로 화분친인 '남원'과 유사하였으며 수고 역시 교목성으로 중간형의 '등낭'보다 화분친인 '남원'과 유사하였다. 무궁화 종간교잡종 '칠채'와 '남원'의 종간 교잡종 중에서 선발된 'R-141'은 화형이 모본인 '칠채'를 많이 닮았으나 화색이 '칠채'의 경우 청단심계로 청색이 짙은 반면 신품종 'R-141'은 붉은색이 강해 새로운 계통으로 선발되었다. 또한 꽃이 크고 꽃잎의 폭이 넓어 완전히 겹치는 I-c형으로 나타났다.
