Vessel elements in lateral root, tap root, transition region, stem and mid vein of 1-year old, 3-year old and 5-year old ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) are studied with light microscope to clarify the distribution and differentiation of several kinds of vessel elements. Vessel elements are classified into five types such as ring vessel, spiral vessel, scalariform vessel, reticulate vessel and pitted vessel according to the secondary thickenings of cell wall. All of the five types are not observed in each organ, but diverse kinds of vessels are present in stem and mid vein compared with the underground organs such as tap root and lateral root. The length of vessel elements is longest (680$\mu$m) in stem and shortest (143$\mu$m) in tap root. The diameter of vessel elements is 19.0$\mu$m in tap root and the angle of perforation plate comes under 22$^{\circ}$-60$^{\circ}$. The degree of differentiation of vessel elements according to the length, diameter and angle of perforation plate of vessel elements is highest in tap root regardless of the age of ginseng. Three types of perforation plate such as scalariform, intermediate type of simple and scalariform, and simple perforation plate are observed. The vascular tracheids are characteristically observed in mid vein of 1-year old ginseng, and in transition region of 3 and 5-year old ginseng.

The causal organism of Phytophthora disease on Panax ginseng Meyer in Korea was isolated and identified as Phytophthora cactorum. It's pathogenicity, etiology, and possible control measures were investigated. Disease symptoms on various parts of ginseng plants were also described The fungus caused seedling and mature plant blight and root rot. Oospores were easily formed on potato dextrose agar and corn meal agar. Oospores, however, were not formed in the diseased root tissues but did in the in footed shoots such as leaves, petioles, and stems and in the inoculated berries.

A new polyacetylene compound with cytotoxic activity against L1210 cells having diyne-ene and epoxy moiety, named panaxyne epoxide, was isolated from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer. The chemical structure of the polyacetylene was determined to be tetradeca-13-ene-1,3-diyne-6,7-epoxide by UV, IR, $^1H-NMR,\;^{l3}$C-NMR and mass spectra.

백삼 및 백삼에 함유된 페놀성 성분 6종의 산화적 손상에 대한 신경세포보호효과와 LPS로 유도된 대식세포에서의 NO 생성억제효과를 검정한 결과 백삼 추출물은 두가지 모두에서 농도의존적인 효과를 나타내었다. 백삼에 함유된 페놀성 성분 중에는 cinnamic acid 및 maltol이 우수한 신경세포보호활성을 나타내었고 NO 생성억제효과는 ascorbic acid 및 cinnamic acid가 높았다. 또한 페놀성성분의 백삼내 함량을 정량한 결과 ascorbic acid, cinnamic acid, esculetin가 다른 성분들에 비하여 비교적 많이 함유되어 있었으며 이를 종합하여 볼 때 백삼의 신경보호효과 및 항염증효과에는 높은 함량 및 우수한 활성을 보이는 성분인 cinnamic aicd가 크게 기여하는 것으로 판단된다.

Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer has been extensively used in the traditional oriental medicine as a restorative, tonic and prophylatic agent. This study was devised to develop a chemopreventive agent from panax ginseng to be able to suppress the genotoxicity and oxidative damage by ractive oxygen species, which are involved with cancer or aging. Ginseng petroleum ether extract (GPE) and one of its fraction, P2, showed an antioxidative effect on the lipid peroxidiphenyl-2-picryl hydrazil (DppH) radical generation. They also showed the suppressive effect of H2O2 or KO2 induced DNA damage by single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE). Results from our study indicate that GPE and P2 are capable of protecting lipid peroxidation, and oxidative DNA damage. Therefore, GPE and P2 may be useful chempreventive agents which are involved with cancer and aging.

Malate dehydrogenase is a ubiquitous enzyme in plants, involving in a range of metabolic processes depending on its subcellular location. A malate dehydrogenase (PgMDH) cDNA was isolated and characterized from the root of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer. The deduced amino acid sequence of PgMDH showed high similarity with the NAD-dependent mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase from Glycinemax (P17783), Eucalyptus gunnii (P46487), and Lycopersicon esculentum (AAU29198). And the segment of a malate dehydrogenase gene was amplified through RT-PCR. The expression of PgMDH was increased after treatments of chilling, salt, UV, cadmium or copper treatment.

Solubility and degree of swelling of the starch were about 15% and 30%, respectively when the starch in agueous solution was heated at 90$^{\circ}C$ for 30minutes. The starch showed no singnificant differences in the degree of swelling and soblubility with a growing period of ginseng. The starch was begun gelatinize at 50-55$^{\circ}C$ and completed at 65-70$^{\circ}C$ by the amy tical methods of X-ray diffraction, disappearance of crystalinity. Brabender angly lographic analysis and amylase digestion test. The maximum and minimum peak viscosities of 10% starch solution were 5.500 B.U and 1960 B.U, respectively. The starch showed no significant differences in pasting temperature, maximum and minimum viscosities on amylogram with a growing period of ginseng. The intrinsic viscosities of the starch and amylose were 0.54 and 1.5-1.9, respectively.

Ethanol, total saponin and petroleum ether extract of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer were tested for their anticlastogenic effects against induction of micronuclei by cyclophosphamide and benzo(a)pyrene in mice. Ginseng petroleum ether extract (GPEE) showed the highest suppressive effect among three extracts. GPEE was also tested to compare their anticlastogenic effect against several well-known carcinogens: such as mitomycin C, 7, 12-dimethyl benzo(a)anthracene, ethyl methane sulfonate, dimethylnitrosamine and busulfan. GPEE showed the anticlastogenic effect against most of carcinogens, although there were no significant effects against 7, 12-dimethyl benzo(a) anthracene, dimethyl nitrosoamine and busulfan-induced micronuclei.
