  • Hibiscus cannabinus, Cassia fistula and Abutilon indicum are medicinally important plants in India. Tissue culture studies have done for efficient propagation and for crop improvement in these three plants. Various explants were tried for callus induction, somatic embryogenesis and organagenesis with manipulation in culture media. Calli and somatic embryos were induced from hypocotyl explants in Hibiscus cannabinus, while in Cassia fistula and Abutilon indicum it could be obtained from leaf explants.

  • BACKGROUND: Arsenic (As)-contaminated groundwater used for long-term irrigation has emerged as a serious problem by adding As to soils. Phytoremediation potential of fiber crops viz., kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.), mesta (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.), and jute (Corchorus capsularis L.) was studied to clean up As-contaminated soil.METHODS AND RESULTS: Varieties of three fiber crops were selected in this study. Seeds of kenaf, mesta, and jute varieties were germinated in As-contaminated soil. Uptake of As by shoot was significantly higher than that by root in the contaminated soil. In As-contaminated soil, kenaf and mesta varieties accumulated more As, than did jute varieties. In the plant parts above ground, mainly the shoots, the highest As absorption was recorded in kenaf cv. HC-3, followed by kenaf cv. HC-95. Kenaf varieties produced more biomass. In terms of higher plant biomass production, and As absorption, kenaf varieties showed considerable potential to remediate As-contaminated soil.CONCLUSION: The overall As absorption and phytoremediation potentiality of plant varieties were in the order of kenaf cv. HC-3 > kenaf cv. HC-95 > mesta cv. Samu-93 > jute cv. CVE-3 > jute cv. BJC-7370. All varieties of kenaf, mesta, and jute could be considered for an appropriate green plant-based remediation technology in As-contaminated soil.

  • In this study, to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of kaempferol and its rhamnosides isolated from Hibiscus cannabinus L. leaves, we investigated UVB-induced inhibitory effects on inflammatory reaction by measuring the cytokine as the prostaglandin ($PGE_2$), interleukine-6 (IL-6) and interleukine-8 (IL-8). We investigated the inhibitory effects of kaempferol and its rhamnosides on TARC (thymus and activation-regulated chemokine) and $PGE_2$. Kaempferol and ${\alpha}$-rhamnoisorobin showed inhibition activity of TARC generated to compared to positive control. Kaempferol, ${\alpha}$-rhamnoisorobin and afzelin Inhibited the release of $PGE_2$. Also, only kaempferol significantly inhibited interleukine-6 (IL-6), interleukine-8 (IL-8) among UVB-induced inflammatory cytokine.

  • A severe outbreak of gray mold on kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) was observed on kenaf grown in the research field of Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services, Jinju, Korea in 2014. Gray mold appeared on young plants as gray-brown velvety mold covering stems and leaves. Infections that girdled the stem caused wilting above the infected area and developed a canker. The casual fungus formed grayish brown colonies on potato dextrose agar. The conidia were one celled, mostly ellipsoid or ovoid in shape, colorless or pale brown in color, and 6-18 × 4-10 ㎛ in size. The conidiophores were 15-32 ㎛ in length. These measurements and taxonomic characteristics were most similar to those of Botrytis. DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the complete internal transcribed spacer rRNA gene region confirmed that the fungal isolates were indeed Borytis cinerea. Koch's postulates were supported by pathogenicity tests conducted on healthy plants. On the basis of mycological characteristics and pathogenicity test on host plants, the fungus was identified as Botrytis cinerea. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a gray mold caused by B. cinerea on kenaf in Korea.

  • 세계 4대 섬유작물중의 하나로 알려진 케나프(Hibiscus cannabinus L.)는 탄소 저감용 및 친환경 생활소재용으로 각광받고 있으며, 2013년 국내 채종 가능한 '장대' 품종이 확립되면서 전국적으로 재배되고 있다. 그러나, 케나프의 부위별 생리활성, 특히 '장대'의 부위별 생리활성 평가는 미미한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 케나프 '장대'의 종실(seed), 종자 꼬투리(seedpod), 잎(leaf), 줄기(stem), 뿌리(root) 에탄올 추출물을 조제하여 이의 항혈전 및 항산화 활성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 종실 추출물에서 강력한 혈액응고인자 저해활성을, 종자 꼬투리 추출물에서 프로트롬빈 저해 활성을, 줄기 추출물에서 트롬빈 저해활성을 확인하였다. 또한 종자 꼬투리 추출물에서는 항혈전 활성과 연관된 DPPH 음이온 소거능, ABTS 양이온 소거능, 환원력 및 nitrite 소거능이 여타의 부위 추출물보다 유의적으로 강력한 활성을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 국내 케나프 친환경 섬유산업의 부산물로 얻어지는 종자 꼬투리, 뿌리 및 줄기를 이용한 고부가가치 생물소재 개발이 가능함을 제시하고 있다.
