The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the potential enhancement of the flavonoid contents from Agastache rugosa, which can be obtained as raw materials for functional products in the food medicine industry by identifying important factors for efficient preparation to save costs and time in terms of economic factors. For this reason, response surface methodology using Box-Behnken design was used to optimize the extraction conditions for the maximum yield of seven major compounds from A. rugosa. The optimum conditions were obtained with an ethanol concentration of 60.0%, a temperature of 50 ℃, and an extraction time of 33.6 min, meaning that the regression analysis fits the experimental data well. Under these conditions, the seven major compounds 1-7 had observed values of 2.169, 2.135, 0.697, 2.485, 0.105, 1.247, and 0.551%, respectively. These results show that the observed values are in good agreement with the predicted values in the regression model. This process for optimization study exhibited a basic protocol for obtaining stable ingredients from A. rugosa that are appropriate for the development of effective functional products.

The diversity elucidation by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis and 16S rDNA sequencing of 96 associative diazotrophs, isolated from the feeder roots of tea on enriched nitrogen-free semisolid media, revealed the predominance of Gram-positive over Gram-negative bacteria within the Kangra valley in Himachal Pradesh, India. The Gram-positive bacteria observed belong to two taxonomic groupings; Firmicutes, including the genera Bacillus and Paenibacillus; and Actinobacteria, represented by the genus Microbacterium. The Gram-negative bacteria included ${\alpha}$-Proteobacteria genera Brevundimonas, Rhizobium, and Mesorhizobium; ${\gamma}$-Proteobacteria genera Pseudomonas and Stenotrophomonas; and ${\beta}$-Proteobacteria genera Azospira, Burkholderia, Delftia, Herbaspirillum and Ralstonia. The low level of similarity of two isolates, with the type strains Paenibacillus xinjiangensis and Mesorhizobium albiziae, suggests the possibility of raising species novum. The bacterial strains of different phylogenetic groups exhibited distinct carbon-source utilization patterns and fatty acid methyl ester profiles. The strains differed in their nitrogenase activities with relatively high activity seen in the Gramnegative strains exhibiting the highest similarity to Azospira oryzae, Delftia lacustris and Herbaspirillum huttiense.

The pharmacological rationale of Agastache rugosa (AR) or Pogostemon cablin (PC), which have been used in traditional Korean medicine to treat dampness pattern or syndrome in gastrointestinal tract, was investigated on the gastrointestinal disorders. In-vivo model studies that examined the effect on the gastrointestinal disorders of AR or PC were collected. They were classified into disease-induced in-vivo models or non-disease in vivo models. The target disease, animal species, induction method, administration, and outcomes (changes in morphological and histological parameter, or blood and fluid) of each study were analyzed. The therapeutic mechanism of AR or PC extract was evaluated by the induced diseases and the changes in outcomes. There were contradictory reports on gastrointestinal motility of AR or PC in disease non-disease in-vivo model. AR or PC inhibited gastrointestinal motility in disease model of increased gastrointestinal motility, while promoted motility in disease model of decreased gastrointestinal motility. AR or PC also inhibited inflammatory changes in gastrointestinal inflammation model. These results suggest that the bidirectional regulation of gastrointestinal motility and the improvement of gastrointestinal inflammatory disorders might underpin traditional therapeutic effect of AR or PC, that is effect to resolve dampness of gastrointestinal tract.

광주시 월각산 (275 m)의 계곡 주변에서 관중과의 남방고사리속과 관중속에 포함되는 미기록 양치식물 세 분류군을 발견하였다. 흰비늘고사리 [Ctenitis maximowicziana (Miq.) Ching]는 엽병 기부 인편의 색깔과 형태, 엽신의 형태, 둥근 신장형의 포막의 유무 등의 특상에 의해 남방고사리 [C. sinii (Ching) Ohwi]를 포함한 속내 다른 분류군들과 식별되었다. 남도톱지네고사리[Dryopteris lunanensis (H. Christ) C. Chr.]는 측우편의 수, 중부 이하의 우편의 제 1열편 혹은 2열편의 분열정도와 포자낭군의 분포양상에 의해 유사 분류군인 톱지네고사리 [D. atrata (Wall. ex Kunze) Ching]와 구별되었다. 애기지네고사리 [Dryopteris decipiens (Hook.) Kuntze var. diplazioides (H. Christ) Ching]는 중부 이하 우편의 분열 정도에 의해 원변종 var. decipiens와 식별되었으며 잎의 형태로 볼때 원변종과 큰지네고사리 (D. fuscipes C. Chr.)의 중간형처럼 보였다. 이들 세 분류군은 월각산의 해발 200-250 m에 국한하여 10개체 내외가 자생하고 있었다.

Tea leaves are major source of catechins—antioxidant flavonoids. Dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR, EC 1.1.1.219) is one of the important enzymes that catalyzes the reduction of dihydroflavonols to leucoanthocyanins, a key ''late'' step in the biosynthesis of catechins. This manuscript reports characterization of DFR from tea (CsDFR) that comprised 1,413 bp full-length cDNA with ORF of 1,044 bp (115-1,158) and encoding a protein of 347 amino acids. Sequence comparison of CsDFR with earlier reported DFR sequences in a database indicated conservation of 69-87% among amino acid residues. In silico analysis revealed CsDFR to be a membrane-localized protein with a domain (between 16 and 218 amino acids) resembling the NAD-dependent epimerase/dehydratase family. The theoretical molecular weight and isoelectric point of the deduced amino sequence of CsDFR were 38.67 kDa and 6.22, respectively. Upon expression of CsDFR in E. coli, recombinant protein was found to be functional and showed specific activity of 42.85 nmol $min^{-1}$ mg $protein^{-1}$. Expression of CsDFR was maximum in younger rather than older leaves. Expression was down-regulated in response to drought stress and abscisic acid, unaffected by gibberellic acid treatment, but up-regulated in response to wounding, with concomitant modulation of catechins content. This is the first report of functionality of recombinant CsDFR and its expression in tea.

국내 식물자원 30 가지의 항산화활성을 탐색한 결과 방아잎, 형개, 택란의 methanol 추출물에서 높은 활성을 확인하였다. 그 중에서 항산화활성이 가장 높은 방아잎의 건조분말을 methanol로 환류냉각 추출하여 hexane chloroform, ethyl acetate, water 순으로 용매분획한 결과 ethyl acetate 분획에서 가장 높은 항산화활성을 확인하였으며, 이를 농축한 다음 Sephadex LH-20으로 chromatography하여 순수물질을 얻었다. 이물질을 ESIMS로 분석한 결과 분자량이 360임을 확인하였고, IR과 UV spectra에 의해서 phenol계 화합물임을 확인하였으며 NMR 분석에 의해서 이 항산화물질이 rosmarinic acid임을 확인하였다. 이 물질의 항산화활성을 검정한 결과 돈지와 팜유에 대해서 BHT나 ${\alpha}-tocopherol$보다도 우수한 지질과산화 억제효과를 나타냈다. 방아잎의 methanol추출물의 항산화력은 rosmary의 methanol 추출물과는 비슷하였으나, sage의 methanol추출물 보다는 높게 나타났다.

In order to provide fundamental information about the floristic composition of the area along with an assessment of the environmental impact, a floristic study of the vascular plants in the Tamjin River estuary in Gangjin-gun was conducted for a total of nine days, in the period from June 2014 to September 2014. We found that the vascular plants in this region comprised 424 taxa belong to 102 families, 281 genera, 390 species, 5 subspecies, 26 varieties, and 3 forma. Five taxa of Korean endemic plants including Weigela subsessilis (Nakai) L.H.Bailey, Lespedeza maximowiczii var. tricolor (Nakai) Nakai, and Clematis trichotoma Nakai were collected. Two least concern (LC) taxa of rare plants (as designated by the Korea Forest Service) were collected: Hydrocharis dubia (Blume) Backer and Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco. Ten the floristic regional indicator taxa from the third to the fifth grade were identified: two taxa belonged to grade IV, and eight taxa belonged to grade III. Twenty-four taxa of salt-tolerant plants, including Artemisia fukudo Makino, Carex rugulosa Kuk., and Suaeda glauca (Bunge) Bunge, as well as 44 taxa of aquatic plants, including Najas marina L., Nuphar oguraensis Miki, and Nymphoides indica (L.) Kuntze, were investigated in this region. Fifty-nine taxa of naturalized plants were recorded, among which the following six taxa were plants that caused ecosystem disturbance: Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., Humulus scandens (Lour.) Merr., Lactuca scariola L., Rumex acetosella L., Solidago altissima L., and Symphyotrichum pilosum (Willd.) G.L.Nesom.
