  • 본 연구는 우리나라 임상 중에서 침엽수림과 침활혼효림으로 구성된 산양삼 시험포지를 선정하고, 임상별 토양의 토양세균군집을 분석하여 산양삼 생육특성과의 상관관계 구명하고자 수행하였다. 산양삼 시험포지는 침염수림으로 구성된 충주 산양삼 종자공급단지와 침활혼효림으로 구성된 함양 산양삼 종자공급단지를 선정하여 각각 조성하였다. 토양세균군집 분석은 pyrosequencing analysis (Illumina platform)를 이용하였고, 토양세균군집과 생육특성 간의 상관관계는 Pearson's correlation을 이용하여 분석하였다. 임상별 시험포지의 토양세균은 두 시험포지 모두 Acidobacteria가 우점종으로 확인되었다. 주좌표 분석을 통해 임상별 산양삼 시험포지에서 우점하는 토양세균 군집을 확인한 결과, 먼저 토양세균 군집은 임상별 시험포지에 따라 군집화를 이루는 것으로 확인되었고, Pearson's 상관관계 분석 결과, 토양세균 군집의 상대적 빈도수는 수종 비율에 따라 상이한 상관관계를 보이는 것으로 확인되었다. 이 중에서 Proteobacteria, Alphaproteobacteria, Actinobacteria_class, Phycisphaerae는 침엽수의 비율과 유의적인 정의 상관관계를 보였고, Nitrospirae, Chlamydiae, Planctomycetia, Acidobacteria_6는 활엽수의 비율과 유의적인 정의 상관관계를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 임상별 산양삼 시험포지의 토양세균 군집과 산양삼 생육특성 간의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, Nitrospirae, Chlorobi, Planctomycetia, Acidobacteria_6가 산양삼의 생육과 유의적인 정의 상관관계를 보였다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 다양한 산림환경에서 토양세균군집과 산양삼 생육특성 간의 상관관계를 명확하게 구명할 수 있다면 향후 산양삼의 최적 재배지를 선정하는데 있어 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • Abeliophyllum distichum is Korea Endemic Plants and its genetic resources found from Korea only. Bioactivities of A. distichum such as antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory studies have been proved through many researches. Whereas, there are no studies on the biological activity of its callus extracts. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant activities of callus extracts derived from A. distichum and its inhibitory effect on oxidative DNA damage. The antioxidant activities were assessed using radical scavenging assays with DPPH, ABTS, and reducing power assay and the inhibitory effects on oxidative DNA damage were measured using ${\varphi}-174$ RF I plasmid DNA cleavage assay. In addition, callus extracts derived from A. distichum showed high antioxidant acitivties and no cytotoxicity in NIH/3T3. Also, it has significantly suppressed expression of ${\gamma}$-H2AX and p53 protein and mRNA levels in NIH/3T3 cells exposed to oxidative stress. Therefore, the callus extracts derived from A. distichum has potential antioxidant activity that can provide protective effects against the oxidative DNA damage caused by free radicals. This study suggest that it is valuable as cosmetics and medicine for antioxidant and cancer preventive materials.

  • In this study, we evaluated anti-inflammatory effect of biji in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Biji inhibited the generation of NO and $PGE_2$ through the suppression of iNOS and COX-2 expression. In addition, biji attenuated the expression of TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-$1{\beta}$ induced by LPS. Biji blocked LPS-mediated $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ degradation and subsequently inhibited p65 nucleus accumulation in RAW264.7 cells, which indicates that biji inhibits NF-${\kappa}B$ signaling. In addition, biji suppressed p38 phosphorylation induced by LPS. Our results suggests that biji may exert anti-inflammatory activity through blocking the generation of the inflammatory mediators such as NO, $PGE_2$, iNOS, COX-2, TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-$1{\beta}$ via the inhibiting the activation of NF-${\kappa}B$ and p38. From these findings, biji has potential to be a candidate for the development of chemoprevention or therapeutic agents for inflammatory diseases.

  • This study compared the growth characteristics of A. gigas according to the transplanting season, in the cultivation located in Yeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, transplanted in the autumn and spring. As a result of that the plant survival rate were observed the highest autumn transplanting (9.4%; autumn-92.2%, spring-82.8%) and bolting rate were observed lowest spring transplanting (7.1%; autumn-37.3%, spring-30.2%). Growth characteristics (height, leaf length and width, stem diameter) were observed the highest autumn transplanting in June and highest spring transplanting in August. The early growth is high growth due to long rooting time in autumn transplanting, but the difference in the ground growth between the two experiments was insignificant when the main growth period was from June to August. Further analysis of the growth characteristics and marker components of roots of A. gigas can be used to determine the optimal planting time and the establishment of high quality cultivation technology.

  • Tetrandrine is a bis-benzyl isoquinoline alkaloid derived from the root of Stephania tetrandra S. Moore. which was reported to elicit in vitro cytotoxic effect on HeLa cells and in vivo supprresive effects on mouse ascite tumor. Tetrandrine also induced apoptosis in a various cell lines. Recent studies have revealed that mitochondria has been shown to play an important role in the regulation of apoptotic processes. (omitted)

  • Production of medicinal soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill], characterized with black seed, white stripe at hilum border, yellow cotyledon and small seed, is increasing with increasing consumption. The objective of this study was to investigate the chemical composition of medicinal soybean seed and to provide basic information, for the characterization of these soybeans among genetic resources. Forty-four lines of medicinal soybeans collected from Korea and two control cultivars, 'Hwangkeumkong' (Yellow seed coat) and 'Geomjeongkong l' (Black seed coat) were planted at the Research Farm of the College of Natural Resources, Korea University, located at Namyangju City on May 25, 1996. Seeds of these lines were harvested at full maturity and analyzed for protein, oil, sugar, starch and mineral contents. Mean protein and oil content of the medicinal line seeds were 42.6 and 16.1%, respectively, and those of the control cultivars were in the middle range for protein and oil content. However, sugar and starch content of the medicinal line seeds appeared to be in the lower range of the distributions compared to the control cultivars and were 10.0 and 1.68%, respectively. Mean P, K, Ca, and Mg contents of the seeds of medicinal soybean lines were 15.9, 21.5, 3.11, and 2.81 mg/g, respectively, indicating that these lines had higher P, K, and Mg and lower Ca contents when compared to the control cultivars. Mean Na and Fe contents were 671 and 224 mg/kg, respectively, showing lower Na and similar Fe contents. The observed results provided that chemical compositions of medicinal soybean were, on average, different from those of the general soybean cultivars.
