  • The study was performed to select a adaptable tree species under stressed field conditions where there are a industrial plants operating with a number of smoke stacks emitting pollutants, such as hydrogen fluoride and sulfur dioxide. As a result of the study, a tree species selected are due to construct a forest belt in a zones near industrial plants to reduce the concentrations of air pollutants. The concentrations of atmospheric hydrogen fluoride and sulfur dioxide were very higher at experimental sites near industrial plants (air-pollution sites) than at control site. The leaves of 7 tree species grown at air pollution sites contained more sulfur and, specially, fluorine than at those control site. Among the tested tree species, Ligustrum japonicum Thunb. and Euonymus japonica Thunb. grown at air pollution sites did not at all break out a foliar injury but appeared to be healthy, as well as those grown at control site. Acer pseudo-sieboldianum Kom., Pinus virginiana Mill., Larix leptolepis Gordon., Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc., Pinus strobus L., Picea abies Karst and Ligustrum obtusifolium Sieb. et Zucc., however, showed a severe fluoride-type foliar injury such as necrosis on tip or margin of leaves, etc. Fluorine found in leaves was proved to be correlated to sulfur found in leaves whereas index of foliar injury hadn't a good correlation to pollutants found in leaves. It appears that Euonymus japonica Thunb., Ligustrum japonica Thunb., Platanus acerifolia Willd, Chamaecyparis pisifera Endl., Populus tomentiglandulosa T. Lee and Sophora japonica L. grown at both experimental sites had a high value of percent survival whereas Pinus virginiana Mill., Pinus koraiensis Sib. et Zucc., Koelreuteria paniculata Laxm. and Alnus hirsuta Rupr. had an extremely low value of that. In comparison with control site, the percent tree height increments in Chamaecyparis pisifera Endl., Ligustrum japonicum Thunb., Quercus acutissima Carruth., Populus tomentiglandulosa T. Lee, Pinus thunbergii Parl and Euonymus japonica Thunb. and the percent upmost root diameters in Populus tomentiglandulosa T. Lee, Chamaecyparis pisifera Endl., Euonymus japonica Thunb., Ligustrum japonicum Thunb., Betula platyphylla var. japonica Hara and Pinus thunbergii Parl. cultivated at air polluted sites showed very high value above 90%, respectively. A significant negative correlation (r=-0.662) was recognized between the index of foliage injury and the percent collective character, which was the mean of tree characters such as percent survival, percent tree height increment and percent upmost root diameter increment which compared to those at air polluted site with those at control site. Based on the percent collective character Ligustrum japonicum Thunb., Euonymus japonica Thunb., Chamaecyparis pisifera Endl., Populus tomentiglandlosa T. Lee, Betula platyphyla var. japonica Hara and Platanus occidentalis L. have large value about 90%, respectively. Therefore, the results indicate that this tree species are adaptable species in air polluted regions. For better understanding of the adaptable tree species, furthur studies concerning the effects of various air pollutants on the tree growth are required.

  • A Korean folk medicine, "DangYak (當藥)" has been used as a bitter stomachic in Korea. With regard to the botanical origin of this crude drug, it has been considered to be from Swertia species (Gentianaceae), but there was no pharmacognostical confirmation on it. In this study, the morphological and anatomical characteristics of three Swertia species growing in Korea, Swertia japonica Makino, S. pseudochinensis Hara and S. tetrapetala Pall. were compared to clarify the botanical origin of "DangYak". As a result, it was determined that the commercial "DangYak" from Korean traditional market was proved to be the whole plant body mixture of Swertia japonica and Swertia pseudochinensis.

  • The study investigated the quality of pound cake added with various concentrations of perilla leaves (Perilla frutescens var. japonica HARA) powder. Pound cake were prepared by addition of 0, 5, 10 and 15% powder to the flour of basic formulation. The pH of the batter and cake decreased with increasing perilla leaves powder concentration. The baking loss rate of the pound cake tended to increase by 7.13~7.42%. The height of pound cake added with perilla leaves powder decreased with increasing powder concentration. The lightness, redness, and yellowness values were significantly decreased with increases in perilla leaves powder except for redness of pound cake crumb. The pound cakes containing 5% perilla leaves powder had acceptable sensory evaluation, such as flavor, taste, moistureness, and overall preference. The hardness and gumminess tended to increase, while springiness and cohesiveness decreased with increases in perilla leaves powder. The retrogradation degree of pound cake prepared with perilla leaves powder for 7 days at $25^{\circ}C$ was higher than the control but there were no significant differences. For the antioxidative activity measured by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity, pound cake added with 10% and 15% added perilla leaves powder showed high antioxidant activities. The results exhibited that adding the perilla leaves powder into the pound cake increased antioxidant activity with the highest quality improvement obtained by incorporating 5% (w/w) of perilla leaves powder into the pound cake formula.

  • The hepatoprotective effects of water extracts composed of Adenophora triphylla var japonica Hara (ATJH) on acetaminophen (APAP)-induced hepatotoxicity were investigated in vivo and in vivo. The effects of ATJH on liver toxicity induced by APAP were assessed by blood biochemical and histopathological analyses. APAP treatment (350 mg/kg) caused severe liver injury in mice as indicated by their significantly elevated plasma aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels. Pretreatment with ATJH for 3 or 7 days attenuated the increases in ALT and AST when challenged with APAP. The reductions in viability caused by high dose of APAP (450 mg/kg) in vivo were reversed by pretreatment with ATJH. These protective effects of ATJH against APAP-induced toxicity were consistent with the results from the histopathological examinations. We next examined the effects of ATJH on the gene expression of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) that detoxify the metabolic intermediates of APAP in H4IIE cells. The hepatic GST protein levels [$\alpha$ class (GSTA2, GSTA3/5)] were significantly elevated in a dose-dependent manner by ATJH treatment. In summary, ATJH is effective at protecting against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity by GST induction, implying that ATJH should be considered a potential chemopreventive agent.

  • This study investigated the quality of muffin prepared with various concentrations of freeze dried-perilla leaves (Perilla frutescens var. japonica HARA) powder. Muffin was prepared by addition of 0, 3, 6 and 9% powder to the flour of basic formulation. The weight of muffin decreased with increase in freeze dried-perilla leaves powder concentration, but no constant tendency in the bottom and upper dimensions by its addition was found. The height and baking loss rate of the muffin increased with increase in the powder concentration but with no significant differences. Lightness and yellowness of muffin decreased as the concentration of the powder increased, whereas no significant differences in the redness was found with increased powder concentration. The hardness of muffin increased, and springiness decreased with increase in the powder concentration, although not significant. The cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness showed no consistent tendency by addition of the powder. The antioxidative activity measured by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of muffin increased as the concentration of the powder increased. The muffin contained 0~6% freeze dried-perilla leaves powder had acceptable sensory properties, such as color, taste, and overall acceptability. Results indicated that optimal concentration of freeze dried-perilla leaves powder into the muffin formula was 3~6% (w/w).

  • A pot experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of boron on the growth, symptom, yield, and content of boron in Perilla(Perilla frutescens var. japonica HARA), Melon(Cucumis melo L.) and Cucumber(Cucumis sativus L.). The results obtained are as follows. Perilla. melon and cucumber uptake a lot of boron from the soil, and toxic effects of boron result in leaf tip yellowing by progressive necrosis. Yield of perilla, melon and cucumber are decreased at the $3{\sim}5mg\;kg^{-1}$, $5{\sim}10mg\;kg^{-1}$ of boron applicated in soil, respectively. Boron content in the leaf is the highest among various parts plant, and the tip and margin of the leaf contained more boron than central part of the leaf. Boron applicated was moved and accumulated to the plant and soil.

  • Dried parts of the two species are difficult to distinguish morphologically, thus Codonopsis radix has been sold instead of Adenophorae radix in herbal medicine market. Therefore, this study was conducted to develop the genetic marker through the examination of the phylogenetic relationships between two Adenophora triphylla(Thunb.) A. DC. var. japonica Hara, two Adenophora radiatifolia Nakai, five Codonopsis lanceolata(Sieb. et Zucc)Trautv. using RAPD analysis. Fifty decarmer oligonucleotide primers were screened for the RAPD analysis, and four primers generated distinct RAPD markers specific to Adenophorae radix and Codonopsis radix. Based on the RAPD patterns, the genetic relationships between three herbal medicine were analyzed by UPGMA method. As a result, Adenophorae radix and Codonopsis radix were classified into two major subgroups on the basis of the genetic similarity coefficient. The specific RAPD patterns generated by the selected primers were reproducible from dried materials. Furthermore, the specific RAPD patterns were produced from the mixture of dried roots of A. triphylla and C. lanceolata. These results prone the usefulness of the RAPD analysis for the discrimination of pure materials from the mixtures of A. triphylla and C. lanceolata.
