To search for the aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors from Korean folk plants, the inhibition of rat lens AR in vitro using the methanol (MeOH) extracts from Korean folk plants was investigated. Among fifty four Korean folk plants tested, the MeOH extract of Cedrela sinensis showed highest inhibition of AR ($IC_{50}$ value, 2.52 ${\mu}g/ml$). The plant C. sinensis has a possibility of new natural resources for the development of AR inhibitor for the prevention of diabetic complications.

The natural habitats and distribution of five rare plants were recently discovered in Korea. Salomonia oblongifolia DC., which grows in mountain wetlands, was found in Gijang-gun, Busan, Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, and Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do. Glaux maritima var. obtusifolia Fernald, which grows along the coast, was found in Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do and Buk-gu, Ulsan. Tillaea aquatica L. and Limosella aquatica L., which was previously not known to be present in Korea, were discovered in Gijang-gun, Busan for the first time. Apocynum lancifolium Russanov, which has a narrow distribution range in Korea, was also found in Samcheok-si, Gangwon-do, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do, Jung-gu, Incheon, Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do and Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do.

Forty-seven wild accessions of Lotus japonicus Regal (Japanese trefoil) indigenous to Japan were investigated for nine morphological characters. Average temperature and annual precipitation were negatively correlated with stem color and seed weight. On the other hand, latitude was positively correlated with these traits. Consequently, accessions from sites at higher latitudes with low temperatures and precipitation tend to have dark red stems and heavy seeds. Cluster analysis based on nine morphological characters classified 47 wild accessions into six major groups. Cluster I included four accessions of tall and erect plants. These plants are phenotypically similar to commercial variety 'Empire'. Cluster II consisted of three accessions of creep plants with pale red stems. Cluster III contained 24 accessions that had average values for all morphological characters evaluated. Cluster IV included two accessions of erect plants with rounded leaflets and dark red stems. Cluster V included four accessions of small, creep plants with pale red stems. Cluster VI included seven accessions of small and erect plants, a phenotype that also applies to ?Gifu B-129?, which is used as experimental strain worldwide. These data were deposited into LegumeBase, an online database (http://www.legumebase.brc.miyazaki-u.ac.jp/) supported by the National BioResource Project (NBRP) in Japan.

본 연구는 경기도 김포의 최서북단 DMZ 접경지역 및 민북지역에 위치한 문수산의 산림유전자원보호구역 일대의 관속식물상과 침입외래식물 등을 파악하고 확인된 식물들의 효율적인 관리와 생물다양성 보전을 위한 기초자료로 활용하기 위하여 실시하였다. 조사는 2019년 4월부터 2020년 10월까지 총 17회에 걸쳐 실시되었다. 문수산 산림유전자원보호구역 일대의 관속식물상은 총 95과 276속 395종 13아종 33변종 3품종 444분류군이 분포하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 우리나라 관속식물 총 4,881분류군의 약 9.09%로 나타났다. 문수산 산림유전자원보호구역에서 출현한 한반도 특산식물은 은사시나무, 오동나무, 산이스라지, 백운산운추리 등 6종이 관찰되었다. IUCN 지정 희귀식물은 총 3분류군이 관찰되었다. 위기종(EN)은 복사앵도나무, 약관심종은 쥐방울덩굴과 창포가 출현하였다. 식물구계학적 특정식물은 초 39분류군으로 파악되었다. IV등급은 바위말발도리 등 2분류군, III등급은 고광나무, 병아리꽃나무 등 8분류군이 확인되었다. II등급은 잣나무 및 오리나무 등 총 10분류군이 관찰되었다. 조사지역에서 출현한 침입외래식물은 개망초, 달맞이꽃 및 개쑥갓 등 58분류군으로 확인되었다. 귀화율은 13.1%로 나타났으며, 도시화지수는 18.0%로 계산되었다. 본 연구에서 파악된 문수산 산림유전자원보호구역의 관속식물상과 선행연구와 비교한 결과, 최근 조사 구간이 더 넓고 다양한 경로를 조사했음에도 불구하고 선행연구에 비해 분류군 수가 감소한 것으로 파악되었다. 특히 희귀·특산식물의 수는 크게 감소하고 외래침입식물의 수는 임도 및 등산로 등으로 크게 확산한 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 산림유전자원보호구역 내 자생식물의 보전 및 관리를 위해 산림휴식년제 등을 도입해야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Ageing has been known to be deeply related to oxidative activities. Furthermore, inflammation is a response initiated by conditions such as infection and injury. It has been known that complex connections occur between oxidative stress and the inflammatory response, however underlying mechanism needs to be investigated. Chinese resource plants have been widely used as functional food and medicine for a long time, however it is not studied well how many of these resource plants work. We first decided testing anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities with 95% ethanol extracts of the chinese resource plants, Boehmeria pilosinscula (Blume) Hassk., Carlemannia tetragona Hook f. and Clausena emarginata C.C.Huang. To measure anti-oxidant activity, we performed DPPH assay in Raw264.7 cells with 95% ethanol extracts. Clausena extracts showed significantly higher anti-oxidant activity than those of Boehmeria and Carlemannia. We then performed Nitric Oxide assay to measure the inflammation suppression levels with 95% ethanol extracts of these plants. Clausena extracts showed significantly higher suppression of nitric oxide production than those of Boehmeria and Carlemannia. This indicates that inflammation levels are significantly reduced by Clausena. After measuring anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, we then performed MTT assay to measure the cell survival rate of Raw264.7 cells treated with these extracts. Boehmeria showed much more cell survival rate than Carlemannia and Clausena. Taken together, this result suggests that Clausena extracts have more anti-oxidant and antiinflammatory activities than Boehmeria and Carlemannia, while Boehmeria extracts have more cell survival rate than Carlemannia and Clausena.

본 연구는 만덕산과 미륵봉주변의 자원식물의 분포현황과 활용가능성을 제시함으로써, 식물자원의 보전과 활용에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 만덕산과 미륵봉주변의 자원식물을 조사한 결과, 107과 339속 481종 1아종 65변종 3품종으로 총 550종류(taxa)가 확인되었다. 이중 자원식물을 용도별로 구분하면 식용식물에는 323종류(58.7%), 약용식물에는 384종류(69.8%), 관상용식물에는 267종류(48.5%), 기타용 식물에는 268종류(48.7%)로 분석되었다. 희귀식물에는 말나리(Lilium distichum; 보존우선순위 159번), 뻐꾹나리(Tricyrtis dilatata; 97번), 쥐방울덩굴(Aristolochia contorta; 151번), 왕벚나무(Prunus yedoensis; 110번)가 확인되었으며, 특산식물에는 개비자나무(Cephalotaxus koreana), 지리대사초(Carex okamotoi), 털중나리(Lilium amabile), 은사시나무(Populus tomentiglandulosa), 키버들(Salix purpurea var. japonica), 다화개별꽃(Pseudostellaria multiflora), 왕벚나무(Prunus yedoensis), 개나리(Forsythia koreana), 오동(Paulownia coreana), 병꽃나무(Weigela subsessilis), 벌개미취(Aster koraiensis) 등의 11종류(taxa)가 확인되었다. 또한, 식물구계학적 특정식물종에는 V등급에 해당되는 식물로 식재종인 왕벚나무, IV등급에는 등나무, III급에는 꼬리조팝나무, 단풍나무, 갈퀴아재비 3종류, II등급에는 돌양지꽃, 민둥뫼제비꽃, 층꽃나무 3종류, 그리고 I등급에는 잣나무(식재), 일월비비추, 홀아비꽃대, 왕버들, 가래나무 등 22종류로 분석되어 총 30종류(5.5%)가 확인되었다. 본 조사지역은 외래식물 식재나 야생화 채취 및 토양 답압등 인위적인 훼손우려가 점차적으로 증가하고 있는 실정이므로 시급한 대책 마련이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This study investigated the effect of exogenous hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) on the antioxidant responses and growth of warm-season turfgrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) and cool-season turfgrass (Poa pratensis L.) subjected to drought stress. Compared with control plants that were not pretreated with $H_2O_2$, plants pretreated with $H_2O_2$ had significantly greater fresh and dry weights of shoots and roots, and increased water content. $H_2O_2$ pretreatments before drought stress significantly decreased the concentrations of malondialdehyde and $H_2O_2$. DPPH radical scavenging and glutathione activities were significantly increased. The responsive activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, and peroxidase were also significantly enhanced. Our results suggest that exogenous $H_2O_2$ could improve the growth of warm-season and cool-season turfgrass under drought stress by increasing the activity of their antioxidant enzymes, while decreasing lipid peroxidation.

To study the developments and variations of unsafe behaviors in nuclear power plants thus reduce the possibility of human-related accidents, this paper, based on the Game Theory, focused on the changes in benefits of the Department of Management, Operational and Emergency in a nuclear power plant, and established the expected revenue functions of these departments. Additionally, the preventive measures of unsafe behaviors in nuclear power plants were also presented in terms of these 3 departments. Results showed that the violations of the Operation Department (OD) and the Emergency Department (ED) were not only relevant with the factors such as their own risks, costs, and the responsibility-sharing due to accidents, but also affected by the safety investments from the Management Department (MD). Furthermore, results also showed that the accident-induced responsibility-sharing of both the OD and the ED would rise, if the MD increased the investments in safety. As a result, the probability of violation behaviors of these 3 departments would be attenuated consciously, which would reduce the unsafe behaviors in the nuclear power plants significantly.
