Ansan city in the coastal area of the mid-western Korea is known as a newly industrialized city(73.44$Km^2$, 127, 000 persons), with the increase rate of 27.8% in population and mean density of 1, 732 persons/$Km^2$. According to the census of the city(1986), it consists of cultivated field(36.8%), forest(34.2%), industrial area(7.4%), residential area(4.1%) and others(12.5%). The forest vegetation in the city is composed of four associations and two subassociations as follows; Pinus rigida, Pinus densiflora-Rhododendron mucronulatum, Quercus mongolica-Rhododendron mucronulatum and Robinia pseudo-acacia asociation, and Quercus mongolica-Corylus sieboldiana var. mandshurica and Robinia pseudoacacia-Alnus hirsuta subassociation. Various environmental conditions have been changed with the progress of urbanization of the city, since 1977. For example, a heat island phenomenon, which is the air temperature of 2 or 3$^{\circ}C$ higher in the central area than that of the boundary area, and floral changes caused by air pollutants such as decreasing bryophyte species along increasing SO$_2$ concentration.

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.

Rhododendron schlippenbachii have been used as a medicine because of their various biological activities. In this study, R. schlippenbachii ethanol extract was evaluated for the treatment of vitiligo. The R. schlippenbachii ethanol extract did not show any cell cytotoxicity. The effect on mushroom tyrosinase and cellular tyrosinase activities were further assessed. In addition, the determination of melanin content in melanocytes was measured using both the B16 melanoma cells and C57BL/6J Ler-vit/vit mice. Finally, the existence of quercetin in R. schlippenbachii was confirmed by qualitative analysis using HPLC. The results clearly demonstrated the R. schlippenbachii extract enhanced melanogenesis and also increased tyrosinase activity in cultured melanoma cells and C57BL/6J Ler-vit/vit mice. In addition, treatment with R. schlippenbachii extract led to a higher content of melanin and eumelanin in C57BL/6J Ler-vit/vit mice hair than in control (untreated) mice, which demonstrated the therapeutic effect of hair-graying associated with vitiligo. Finally, we confirmed a notable increase in melanocytes in the skin of C57BL/6J Ler-vit/vit mice treated with R. schlippenbachii extract compared with the control. Extracts of R. schlippenbachii was shown to be potent tyrosinase and melanin synthesis activator in B16 melanoma cells. The R. schlippenbachii extract have significantly higher melanin content than the untreated control in C57BL/6J Ler-vit/vit mice hair. The results suggest that R. schlippenbachii extract might be considered as an alternative treatment for improvement of vitiligo.

Empetrum nigrum dominant community or Rhododendron mucronulatum and R. yedoense var. poukhanense dominant shrub community are developing above l,500m on Mt. Halla in Cheju Island, Korea. These communities were formed as a result of the forest of Abies koreana regression by grazing or erosion over a long period of time. This study was conducted using the phytosociological method and it clarified the floristic composition of the community in Cheju Island by comparing with a similar community in Japan. Also this study interpreted the development data of these communities and considered community succession. As a result of our interpretation, shrub community of Cheju Island is recognized as two associations, Festuco obinae-Empetretum nigrum ass. nov and Rhododendretum mucronulatum ass. nov. Each association of Cheju Island is composed of endemic species of Cheju Island. related to the Korean peninsula and to Japan. The two associations are divided into 8 sub-units but each community development has been created with longtime grazing and prescribed fire. Maybe the location stability by stoppage of interference and grazing will process community transition Quickly. Comparing the shrub communities of Cheju Island with Maianthemo-Rhododendretum in Kyushu, Japan, which is close geographically, both areas have the species of Miscanthetea sinesis and Ericaceae in common. But Cheju Island has more abundant species and has higher ratio of appearance of alpine plants. The shrub communities of Cheju Island and Kyushu. Japan are identified as having a different rank over Alliance.

The investigation was made about distribution and ecological characteristics of Rhododendron mucronulatum var. mucronulatum, R. dauricum and R. schlippenbachii on Mt. Changbai in China. The Ericaceae plants are known to be highly ornamental and easy to cultivate. The results of investigations are like followings. The plant species diversity was the highest in habitats of R. mucronulatum var. mucronulatum, followed by those of R. schlippenbachii and R. dauricum. R. mucronulatum var. mucronulatum community was found in the northwest exposure areas of 300m in altitude. Corylus heterophylla, Carex humilis var. nana, Atractylodes japonica species also grew in the R. mucronulatum var. mucronulatum community. R. dauricum communities were widely distributed in the west exposure areas of 1226-1860m above sea level. R. schlippenbachii populations were found in areas of under 300m above sea level, which has dry soil. But humidity of air was relatively high in the place. Artemisia japonica, Lespedeza bicolor and Dactylis glomerata were found around the habitats of R. schlippenbachii. Phalanx type of plants were dominant near the habitats of Ericaceae plants as 61%. Further, there appeared higher plant life totalling to 72 taxa comprising 54 species, 16 varieties and 2 forma with 31 families and 59 genuses at the whole survey area. Among these, Compositae plants excellent in resistance to environment was surveyed the most, accounting for 30.0%.

Objective : This experiment was designed to investigate the effect of Rhododendron simsii Planch(RSP) on the Alzheimer's disease. Method : The effects of RSP on amyloid precursor proteins(APP), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) mRNA of PC-12 cell treated by amyloid ${\beta}$ protein$(A{\beta})$ and $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$ mRNA of THP-1 cell treated by lipopolysaccharide(LPS), AChE activity of PC-12 cell lysate treated by $A{\beta}$ and behavior of the memory deficit mice induced by scopolamine, and glucose, AChE in serum of the memory deficit mice induced by scopolamine were investigated, respectively. Result : 1. RSP suppressed APP, AChE, GFAP mRNA in PC-12 celt treated by $A{\beta}$. 2. RSP suppressed $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$ mRNA in THP-1 cell treated by LPS. 3. RSP suppressed AChE activity in cell lysate of PC-12 cell treated by $A{\beta}$. 4. RSP increased glucose and decreased AChE significantly in the serum of the memory deficit mice induced by scopolamine. 5. RSP group showed significantly inhibitory effect on the scopolamine-induced impairment of teaming and. memory in the experiment of Morris water maze. Conclusion : According to the above results, it is suggested that RSP might be usefully applied for prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and memory deficit symptom.

조경용(造景用) 및 분재용(栽用) 화목(花木)으로 개발가치가 매우 높은 참꽃나무의 종자발아특성(種子發芽特性)에 관하여 실험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 항온조건(恒溫條件)에서의 발아적온(發芽適溫)은 $20^{\circ}C$이었고 $25^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 발아가 심하게 억제되었다. 한편 $15^{\circ}C$에서는 초기발아노(初期發芽努)는 저조하였지만 최종발아율은 $20^{\circ}C$에서와 거의 비슷하였다. 2. 야간온도(夜間溫度)를 $15^{\circ}C$로 고정한 변온처리(變溫處理)를 통하여 $25^{\circ}C$와 $30^{\circ}C$의 고온처리구(高溫處理區)에서 항온처리에 비하여 발아율이 현저하게 높아겼다. 3. 황색(黃色) 및 적색광(赤色光) 처리구(處理區)에서는 대조구(對照區)에 비하여 유의성(有意性)있게 발아율이 증가하였고, 녹색광(綠色光) 처리구(處理區)에서는 발아율이 현저하게 억제되었다. 또한 암처리구(暗處理區)에서는 전혀 발아하지 못하여 참꽃나무 종자는 절대적(絶對的) 광발아성(光發芽性) 종자(種子)임이 확인되었다. 4. 암조건(暗條件)에서도 $50{\sim}100ppm$ 농도(濃度)의 GA처리에 의하여 발아(發芽)가 가능하여 GA의 광대체효과(光對替效果)가 확인되었다.

우리나라에서 식용으로 이용되는 진달래꽃으로부터 6성분의 폐놀산 화합물이 분리동정되었다. 이들 화합물의 구조는 IR, UV, $^{1}H$과 $^{13}C$ NMR, FAB-MS, ES-MS와 EI-MS에 의해 얻어진 분광학적인 결과에 근거하여, chlorogenic acid, 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid인 것으로 밝혀졌다. Chlorogenic acid (0.2 g)는 ethyl acetate과 ethyl ether 분획에 동시에 함유되어 있었고, polyamide C-200 관 크로마토그래피법, 분취용 박층크로마토그래피법, 재결정법, Sephadex LH-20 관 크로마토그래피법을 통해서 양 구분으로부터 최종적으로 회수된 총 페놀산 함량 (0.52 g)의 38.5%를 차지하였다. 항산화성은 티오시안산철의 존재하에서 리놀레산의 에타놀 용액 중에서 측정되었다. 항산화능은 p-coumaric acid<${\alpha}-tocopherol$
