To elucidate ecophysiological factors affecting nutural distribution of evergreen broad-leabed trees in Danohad National Marine Park, water potential, relative water content and photosynthetic activities of 4 species, Cammellia japonica, Machilus thunbergii, Castanopsis cuspidata var.sieboldii and Quercus acuta, were potential began to decrease from 07:00h to its minimum value at 13:00h for C. cuspidata var. sieboldii (-14.3bar) and Q. acuta (-19.4bar) at 16:00 h for M. thunbergii(-17.0bar) and at 19:00 h for C. japonica (-14.5bar), and these showed similar trends to relative water content. Photosynthetic activities of 4 species began to increase from 7:00 h and reached maximum values before their minimum values of water potential occureed. Optimum temperature renges of photosynthetic activities was $18~20^{\circ}C$ for C. japonica - M. thunbergii and $14~16^{\circ}C$ for C. cuspidata var. sieboldii Quercus acuta.Q.acuta had the highest light saturation point of $0.4mM/m^2/s$ and C. japonica the lowest of $0.15mM/m^2/s$. Water potential of 4 species subjected to water stress, began to decrease after 1st day of drought and after 21th day of drought, those of C. japonica, M. thunbergii, C. cuspidata var. sieboldii and Q. acuta decreased to species began to decrease after 7th day of drought and after 21th day, those of M. thunbergii, C. cuspidata var. sieboldii and Q. acuta were dropped to about 50% and C. japonica 83.5%. Photosynthetic activity of 4 specie began to decline in the order of C. cuspidata var. sieboldii, Q.acuta, C. japonica and M. thunbergii after 10th day of drought. These results suggest that the segregated disributions of C. japonica - M. thunbergii on vally positions and C. cuspidata var. sieboldii - Q. acuta on slopes were associated with different responses of water status and photosyntheties to their environment.

Background: Asarum sieboldii Miq., a species of forest understory vegetation, is an herbaceous perennial belonging to the family Aristolochiaceae. The metapopulation of A. sieboldii is distributed sparsely and has a short seed dispersal distance by ants as their seed distributor. It is known that many flowers of A. sieboldii depend on self-fertilization. Because these characteristics can affect negatively in genetic structure, investigating habitat structure and assessment of genetic structure is needed. A total of 27 individuals in a valley were sampled for measuring genetic diversity, genetic distance, and genetic differentiation by RAPDPCR. Results: The habitat areas of A. sieboldii metapopulation were relatively small (3.78~33.60 m²) and population density was very low (five to seven individuals in 20×20 m quadrat). The habitat of A. sieboldii was a very shady (relative light intensity = 0.9%) and mature forest with a high evenness value (J = 0.81~0.99) and a low dominance value (D = 0.19~0.28). The total genetic diversity of A. sieboldii was quite high (h = 0.338, I = 0.506). A total of 33 band loci were observed in five selected primers, and 31 band loci (94%) were polymorphic. However, genetic differentiation along the valley was highly progressed (G_st = 0.548, N_m = 0.412). The average genetic distance between subpopulations was 0.387. The results of AMOVA showed 52.77% of variance occurs among populations, which is evidence of population structuring. Conclusions: It is expected that a small-scale founder effect had occurred, an individual spread far from the original subpopulation formed a new subpopulation. However, geographical distance between individuals would have been far and genetic flow occurred only within each subpopulation because of the low density of population. This made significant genetic distance between the original and new population by distance. Although genetic diversity of A. sieboldii metapopulation is not as low as concerned, the subpopulation of A. sieboldii can disappear by stochastic events due to small subpopulation size and low density of population. To prevent genetic isolation and to enhance the stable population size, conservative efforts such as increasing the size of each subpopulation or the connection between subpopulations are needed.

초석잠 acetone+methylene chloride (A+M) 및 methanol (MeOH) 추출물들의 총 플라보노이드 함량은 $57.05{\pm}1.08$ 및 $37.42{\pm}0.12mg/g$으로 A+M 추출물의 총 플라보노이드 함량이 높았다. 택란 A+M 및 MeOH 추출물들의 총 플라보노이드 함량은 $233.22{\pm}2.60$ 및 $46.31{\pm}0.54mg/g$으로 A+M 추출물의 총 플라보노이드 함량이 높았다 이에 따라 총 플라보노이드 함량은 A+M 추출물에서 높게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 각 용매별 추출물들의 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) 라디칼 소거활성을 각각 0.05, 0.1, 0.25 및 0.5 mg/ml의 농도로 대조군 [L-ascorbic acid, Butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT)]과 비교하였다. 먼저 추출물들과 비교했을 때 택란 A+M 추출물은 다른 추출물과 비교했을 때 활성산소 소거능이 우수하였다. 이는 앞서 택란 A+M 추출물의 높은 총 플라보노이드 및 총 페놀 함량과 연관성이 있는 것으로 여겨진다. 2.2'-Azino-bis (3-ethylbenothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt radical cation (ABTS+) 라디칼 소거활성에서도 택란 A+M추출물과 초석잠 A+M추출물은 합성 항산화제인 BHT와 비교하여 0.25 및 0.5 mg/ml 농도에서 BHT 경우, 93.5 및 95.3%이며, 초석잠 A+M추출물은 89.0 및 89.8%의 소거능을 나타내었으며 택란 A+M추출물은 각각90.2% 및 88.0%로 대조군과 유사한 값을 나타내었다. 초석잠 및 택란 A+M 및 MeOH 추출물을 0.05 및 0.025 mg/ml의 농도로 인체 섬유육종세포(HT-1080)에 처리하여 세포 내 활성 산소종을 측정한 결과 두 추출물들 모두 측정시간 120분이 지남에 따라 높은 세포 내 활성산소종 억제효과를 나타내었다. A+M 추출물의 경우 MeOH 추출물과 비교 하였을 때 세포 내 활성산소종을 상대적으로 크게 억제하였으며 특히 택란 A+M 추출물 0.05 mg/ml 농도에서는 대조군과 비교하여 높은 억제효과를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구 결과는 택란 A+M 추출물에 의한 항산화 효과가 우수하였고 이는 택란 초석잠 A+M 추출물의 높은 함량의 플라보노이드와도 연관성이 있음을 나타낸다.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylorl) infection is now established as the major pathogenic factor in chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. in addition, there is accumulating evidence that H. pylori plays an important role in the process of gastric carcinogenesis. On the other hand, oriental traditional medicines have been used for stomach disease for thousands of years. In the present study, methanol extract from the stem bark of Magnolia sieboldii (M. sieboldii) and its components were investigated on their inhibitory effects against urease activity and growth of H. pylori in vitro. The methanol extract of M. sieboldii significantly inhibited the growth of H. pylori ATCC 43504 at 5 mg/ml. From the further fractionation, the chloroform fraction inhibited the bacterial growth dose-dependently. Among four fractions separated from the chloroform fraction by silica gel column chromatography, MS-C-2 was the most potent. Costunolide was isolated from the MS-C-2 subtraction by preparative TLC and recrystallization using n-hexane. Anti-H. pylori effect of costunolide was investigated using one commercial strain (H. pylori ATCC 43504) and three clinical strains (H. pylon 4, 43, 82548). Costunolide exhibited potent anti-H. pylori activity, and the MIC was around $100-200{\mu}g/ml$. However, costunolide had no inhibitory effect of H. pylori urease activity at the concentration used for the growth inhibition assay. From these results, we conclude that costunolide inhibits the, growth of H. pylori by the independent manner of H. pylori urease inhibition.
