Dodok (Codonopsis lanceolata Bench. et Hook) root contains abundant pharmaceutical substances and is widely used as a food and a medicinal herb. To identify the major components, fermented Codonopsis lanceolata was analyzed for its chemical compositions prior to their pharmaceutical substances, which were used as the fundamental data. The contents of carbohydrate, crude protein, crude lipid and ash are 79.3%, 13.0%, 2.40% and 5.3%, respectively. The calories of fermented Codonopsis lanceolata was 390.5 kcal. Total dietary fiber was 47.4% of total carbohydrates. The protein was composed of 18 different amino acids. The contents of essential and non-essential amino acids were 8,118.18 mg and 10,913.42 mg. The K was the largest mineral followed by P, Ca and Mg, which means fermented Codonopsis lanceolata is alkali material. The contents of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids were 37.76%, 3.84%, and 35.64%, respectively. Therefore, the amount of the total unsaturated fatty acid was higher than that of any other plant. The content of crude saponin in fermented Codonopsis lanceolata was 60.1 mg/g. It is expected that a follow up study on fermented Codonopsis lanceolata through development and evaluation of processed foods for their functional properties would provide useful information as a source of medicinal foods.

Priming has been used to establish a better standing in practice as controling the seed moisture content after sowing. The experiment was done to measure the effect of priming (material ; concentration ; period) and light quality (red ; white ; dark) after sowing on seed germination and radicle elongation of Campanulaceae (Platycodon grandiflorum ; Codonopsis lanceolata ; C. pilosula) to give an information on their earlier standing establishment. The germination test was carried out with 12 hours irradiation for 9 days after priming treatment. In the darkness, the mean germination rate of all the species was decreased in the order to P. grandiflorum, C. pilosula, C. lanceolata. Their germination and radicle elongation became more inclined when primed with $Ca(CO_3)_2$ or with 50 to 150mM than with $KNO_3$ or no priming although there was no difference between priming periods. Under irradiation during their seed germination, however, the former order was changed to P. grandiflorum, C. lanceolata, C. pilosula because light quality treatment given after priming reduced the rate of C. pilosula but enhanced that of C. lanceolata. Although light quality forced after priming did not affect the mean germination rate of P. grandiflorum, it increased earlier or alltime germination of C. lanceolata or C. pilosula, respectively. White light after priming repressed germinations of C. lanceolata and C. pilosulai but increased earlier germinatin of P. grandiflorum, meaning that seed germination and radicle elongation of Campanulaceae could be determined by light quality treated after priming.

A cyclophilin 1 cDNA clone(GenBank accession no.CF924191) was isolated from the taproot of C. lanceolata and designed as C1CyP1. Determination of the nucleotide sequence of C1CyPl identified an open reading frame of 525bp, which shared high homologies with cyclophilins that were previously reported in other organisms. The C1CyP1 amino acid sequence possesses 7 amino acid residue stretch(KSGKPLH) that is characteristic of plant cytosolic dehydrins. Currently available amino acid residues of plant cyclophilins were compared to examine their phylogenetic relationship to C1CyP1. In the phylogenetic analysis, based on the aligned sequences, C1CyP1 showed high homology with arabidopsis ROC2 and rice CyP1. The transcript that corresponded to C1CyP1 was abundant in callus, but only basal level of transcript was detected in stem, leaf and root. For the study in the defense mechanism against various stresses, we report expression patterns of this gene by quantative RT-PCR.

This study was designed to evaluate the physicochemical properties and biological activities of steamed and fermented Codonopsis lanceolata. The treatments included NS-NF (non-steamed and non-fermented), NS-LF (non-steamed and L. rhamnosus fermented), S-NF (steamed and non-fermented), and S-LF (steamed and L. rhamnosus fermented). Total polyphenol amounts of S-NF and S-LF were significantly increased to more than 26 mg GAE/g. The highest DPPH scavenging activities were observed for S-NF and S-LF, showing $EC_{50}$ values of 0.8 and 0.6 mg/mL, respectively. The growths of Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Shigella boydii were effectively inhibited by S-LF (MIC < 9 mg/mL). The NS-LF and S-LF ($EC_{50}$ <6 mg/mL) effectively inhibited ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase and tyrosinase activities compared to NS-NF ($EC_{50}$ <17 mg/mL). The S-LF exhibited the highest acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity ($IC_{50}$ <32 mg/mL). Therefore, the results suggest that the application of the steaming process combined with probiotic fermentation can effectively enhance the biological and pharmacological activities in C. lanceolata.

This study was conducted to develop food and medicinal products containing useful components of Lentinula edodes in Codonopsis lanceolata and Platycodon grandiflorus for use as herbal medicine. We manufactured C. lanceolata (FCLM) and P. grandiflorus (FPLM) extract fermented with L. edodes mycelium. The effect of the two fermented products on proximate composition, free sugar, organic acid, 𝛽-glucan, ergothioneine, ergosterol, and vitamin D₂ levels, and 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cell growth were studied. The proximate composition analysis results showed that the crude fiber and crude fat content in FCLM was higher than that in FPLM, and the crude protein and soluble nitrogen content in FPLM was higher than that in FCLM. Free sugar analysis detected arabinose, glucose, and sucrose in both FCLM and FPLM, and the total free sugar content was high in FPLM. The organic acid content was lower in FCLM and FPLM compared to C. lanceolata and P. grandiflorus before fermentation. The 𝛽-glucan content was higher than that of L. edodes used as a control in both fermented products, FCLM and FPLM. The content of ergothioneine, an antioxidant, was higher in FCLM than in FPLM. Ergosterol content was highest in L. edodes which was used as a control, and the two fermented products showed similar content. Vitamin D₂ was detected only in FCLM and FPLM, and FPLM (0.58±0.01 mg%) showed a higher vitamin D₂ content than FCLM (0.47±0.01). FCLM and FPLM showed a higher level of cell viability for 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes compared to non-fermented C. lanceolata and P. grandiflorus. In addition, FCLM and FPLM inhibited 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation more than C. lanceolata and P. grandiflorus before fermentation, which may exert an anti-obesity effect.

1. A quantitative ecological investigation of the intertidal sand beach at Yong-ho Bay, located about 6km NE of Busan Harbour was carried out from February, 1974 to February, 1975. Composition of the fauna, diversity, faunal affinity and distributions in time and space were studied. Some ecological factors influencing to the community also discussed. 2. The beach can be classified as a fine-sand beach which is dominated by Armandia lanceolata and Nephtys sp. (A). Thirty two species of animals representing 29 genera were found. In number, two polychaetes, A. lanceolata and Nephtys sp. (A) were dominant, while one polychaete, Neanthes japonica and one bivalvia, Laternula limicela were dominant in weight. 3. Distribution of the fauna was devided into three areas of different faunal compositions with sediment types particularly by mud fraction content, and it well agreed with faunal affinity and diversity index value. 4. Seasonal fluctuation of the three dominant species, A. lanceolata, Nephtys sp. (A) and N. japonica was studied. Except Nephtys sp. (A), the fluctuation were closely related to the brooding time. 5. There was no relationship between faunal distribution and organic matter content. Submergence time affected the distribution of some species but the influence to the whole-community was little.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity and tyrosinase inhibitory activity of Codonopsis lanceolata 50% ethanol extract, and its solvent fractions (n-hexane, ethyl acetate (EA), n-butanol, water). The main components of the EA fraction were qualitatively analyzed using UPLC Q-ToF/MS. Additionally, a quantitative analysis was performed using UPLC. As a result, the total polyphenol content was 113.36 mg gallic acid/g in the EA fraction, which contained the largest amount of the C. lancolata solvent fractions. Also EA showed the highest antioxidant activity than other fractions. The IC₅₀ of DPPH(2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity was 0.03 mg/mL and the IC₅₀ of ABTS [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate)] radical scavenging activity was 0.049 mg/mL. The EA fraction showed tyrosinase inhibitory activity than other fractions and especially inhibited monophenolase oxidase reaction higher than diphenolase oxidase reaction. The monophenolase oxidase inhibited 55% when the concentration of the EA fraction was 0.25 mg/mL. As a result of Q-ToF/MS analysis, it was confirmed that tangshenoside I and lobetyolin were the main components of EA fraction. Thus, these results suggest that C. lanceolata may be used as a potent source of cosmetic agents.

In order to improve cultivation technuque of C. lanceolata, natural ABA was treated with foliar application periodically during differenctitation of node. The higher is concentration and the earier its foliar application was, the shoter plant height was. Especially, when $10mg;.L{-1}$ of ABA was treated at differentiated stage of 3rd node, plant height was inhibited to 60% of control. But leaf length, leaf width, and number of branches have no significant differnence in comparison wiht control. The fresh weight of subterranean part was similar to control independent of treat-time in the case of $10mg;.L{-1}$. When 1,5 and $10mg;.L{-1}$ of ABA were treated at initial differentiated node stage, plant height inhibited to 20~30% of control, but subterranean part was similar to control. All treatement showed slight antitumor activity by the P388 cytotoxic screening test.
