  • Soil and root samples were collected form the rhizoshpere of 11 different medicinal plants to determine the incidence, density and identification of root-knot nematode species associated with medicinal herbs. About 55% of medicinal herbs examined was found to be infested with root-knot nematodes. As a result of infection casued by three root-knot nematodes, M. hapla recorded 43.3% in medicinal herba whereas M. incognita and M. arenaria showed 7.9% and 3.7%, repectively. Forsythia koreana, Hemerocalis fulva, Hibuscus mutabilis and Petasites japonicus were the most severely infested herbs whereas Acanthopanax sessilflorus was least infested. Population of the second stage younger plants. Meloidogyne hapla, M. incognita and M. arenaria were the species associated with the medicinal herbs. The most abundant nematode observed in medicinal herbs was M. hapla and followed by M. incognita and M. arenaria. M. arenaria was observed firstly on Ficus carica, one of medicinal plant.

  • A palynological study of genus Dioscorea L. in Korea was conducted to evaluate the taxonomic implications. As a result of confirming the palynological characteristics of seven taxa of Dioscorea L., including six that are distributed in Korea and D. tokoro found in Japan, sections or species were classified according to the characteristics, such as the number of apertures, the polar end shape, and exine sculpturing. Specifically, the exine sculptures of D. coreana and D. tokoro, erroneously known to be distributed in Korea, are distinguished. The change in the number of apertures is closely associated with microsporogenesis, and it can be presumed that disulcate pollen might have been derived from monosulcate pollen in Dioscorea.
