Genus of Rhododendron has been used in traditional medicine since ancient times and is known to be effective in immune function, inflammation, and cold symptoms. And the reason for this activity is the flavanonol type among flavonoids in the genus of Rhododendron. Among the flavanonol types, Taxifolin-3-O-arabinopyranoside was isolated from the root of native R. mucronulatum in Korea, and the structure was finally identified through HPLC, LC-MS/MS, ¹H-NMR, and ¹³C-NMR. Taxifolin-3-O-arabinopyranoside is a compound mainly found in R. mucronulatum, a representative species of the genus of Rhododendron, and exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-atopic activities. In this study, Taxifolin-3-O-arabinopyranoside was chemotaxonomic significant in 5 species of the genus Rhododendron native to Korea (R. mucronulatum, R. mucronulatum var. ciliatum, R. schlippenbachii, R. yedoense var. Poukhanense, R. japonicum for. Flavum). Compared with the existing literature, Taxifolin-3-O-arabinopyranoside was identified for the first time in 4 species of Rhododendron except for the R. mucronulatum.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of naturally occurring aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors from white-color natural products (Aruncus dioicus var. kamtschaticus, Chionanthus retusa, Cosmos bipinnatus, Hibiscus syriacus, Hydrangea paniculata, Magnolia denudata, Prunus padus, Robinia pseudo-accacia, Rhododendron mucronulatum for. albiflorum, Spiraea blumei, and Spiraea prunifolia var. simpliciflora). The MeOH extract of white-color natural products were tested on rat lens AR inhibition in vitro. Among them, the MeOH extract of R. mucronulatum for. albiflorum showed highest inhibition on AR ($IC_{50}$ value, 1.07 ${\mu}g/ml$). These results suggested that R. mucronulatum for. albiflorum, a white-color natural product, could be a useful resource in the development of a novel AR inhibitory agent against diabetic complications.

Rhododendron mucronulatum for. albiflorum, native species is a shrub that has white flowers on May to June, and rare species endangered by people's rash digging or cutting. But its physiological ecological characteristics and propagation method are not being known at all. Therefore, this study was executed to utilize this species as the planting material for landscaping by analysing its habitat environment and growth form, and also experimenting its seed and vegetative propagation, and it field culture and utilization. The results are as follows; 1. The elevation, gradient and direction of this species were 295-1,350m, 10-36$^{\circ}$, northwest respectively. It was found that the species is shade-liking plant that grows under forest cover of average 51.33%. 2. The soil pH and water content of its habitat were 5.4, 25.41% respectively. The organic matter content was 6.29% that was higher than 3.2%, the average organic matter content of forest soil in Korea. 3. Representative plant community within which this species was living was Quercus mongolica community, and its main neighboring species were Lindea obtusiloba, Fraxinus sieboldiana, Rhus trichocarpa, Rhododendron Schlippenbachii, Rododendron mucronulatum. 4. The leaf length and width of this species were 39.18mm, 12.60mm respectively. This result showed that generally its leaf size was larger than that of R. micranthum, R. yedoense var. poukhanense and R. mucronulatum var. ciliatum and smaller than that of R. mucronulatum and R. schlippenbachii. 5. The whole size of its pollen was, as 59${\times}$61$\mu\textrm{m}$, the largest of plants of Rhododendron family including R. mucronulatum and R. mucronulatum var. ciliatum. 6. The result of seed germination experiment at intervals of 5$^{\circ}C$ from 15$^{\circ}C$ to 30$^{\circ}C$ presented the highest germination rate of 94.7% at 20$^{\circ}C$ numerically, but high percent germination at all temperature levels without significant difference. And the seed of this plant proved to be sun-liking seed at requiring dormancy in germination. 7. Through seed germination experiment by treatment of growth regulators such as GA. Thiourea and Kinetin under dark condition, it was found that the effect of GA treatment on germination increase and acceleration was the highest. 8. In greenwood cutting, rooted rate by treatment of various concentration of IBA and NAA on clay and vermiculite bed was not wholly high, but 100ppm plots of both IBA and NAA of clay bed showed relatively good rooted rate. 9. As result of field culture experiment for finding out optimum growth temperature and light intensity, growth conditions such as height, number of leaves, fresh weight and chlorophyll contents were the best at night/day temperature of 20/25$^{\circ}C$ and under 1/2sun. Also, the photosynthetic rate was the highest at 25$^{\circ}C$. Accordingly, it was found that optimum temperature and light intensity for growth of this plant are 25$^{\circ}C$ (day temperature), 50% of natural light respectively.

삽목시기가 진달래의 발근에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 시기별로 삽목하여 본 결과 5월부터 6월에 걸쳐서 비교적 높은 발근율을 얻을 수 있었는데, 6월 12일에 실시한 삽목에서 92.5%의 발근율을 나타내었다. 그러나 생식생장이 시작되는 7월 이후에는 발근율이 현저하게 낮아졌다. 즉 진달래의 삽목 최적기는 6월 중순으로 판단되었다. 관행 녹지삽목(greenwood straight cutting)과 녹 종삼목(踵揷木)(greenwood heel cutting)간에는 발근율에 있어서 별 차이를 보이지 않았다. 5월 15일에 실시한 숙지삽 결과 45%의 발근율을 보였으며, 6월 12일에 흰진달래를 삽목하였을 때에도 85%의 발근율을 나타내었다. NAA, lBA 및 Rootone 의 처리효과 실험에서 일반적으로 $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$의 저농도에서 12시간 동안 처리하는 것에 비하여, 고농도($2,000mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) 에서 수초간 처리하는 것이 발근촉진효과가 좋았는데, NAA $2,000mg{\cdot}L^1$에서 15초간 침지처리하는 것이 가장 효과적이었다.

진달래(Rhododendron mucronulatum)는 우리나라에서 어렵지 않게 볼 수 있는 개화식물로 꽃이 아름다워 관상목으로 이용되고 있고 생태학적, 약리적으로 잠재력이 있는 중요한 산림자원이다. 우리나라의 대표적 진달래나무군락지인 비슬산군립공원에서 진달래나무 아래의 토양을 채집하여 그 진균 군집의 특성을 조사하였다. 위치와 계절에 따른 진균 군집의 차이를 확인하기 위하여 토양 샘플은 총 3개의 위치에서 2월과 8월에 각각 한번씩 채집하였다. Pyrosequencing을 통해 총 454,157개의 서열을 얻을 수 있었다. 첫번째 채집포인트에서 얻은 샘플의 진균 군집이 6개 샘플 중 가장 종 풍부도가 높았고 가장 다양한 진균들로 구성되어 있음을 확인하였다. 분류 단위 별 분석으로는, Basidiomycota, Ascomycota, Mortierellomycota가 대표적인 문(phylum)으로 나타났으며, Agaricales_f, Mortierellaceae, Clavariaceae가 주요한 과(family)인 것으로 분석되었다. Mortierella 속(genus)은 모든 샘플중에서 가장 우점한 속이었다. 또한 총 진달래와 관련이 있는 것으로 추정되는 19개의 속이 확인되었다. 8월에 채집한 샘플에서 위치에 따라 각각 109개, 111개, 112개의 특이적인 속이 발견되었고, 2월의 샘플과 비교했을 때 2월의 샘플에는 존재하지 않는 28개의 공통된 속이 발견되었다. 이 연구는 추후 진달래나무에 특이적인 진균의 새로운 종을 규명하거나 토양 진균류와 식물의 상호작용을 규명하는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.
