This study investigated the antibacterial activities of extracts and fractions of Sasa borealis against eight bacteria (Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Psedomonas aerginosa, Salmonella choleraesuis, Serratia marcescens and Vibrio vulnificus) by broth dilution assay. Using survival curves, the kinetics of bacterial inactivation upon exposure to the extracts and fractions were followed for 24 h. In this same manner, MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) values were determined by broth microdilution assay and then confirmed to be the extract concentrations that inhibited bacterial growth. Sasa borealis extracts showed antibacterial activities against all tested bacteria. In particular, all tested fractions of Sasa borealis had stronger activities than 70% ethanol extract. MIC of Sasa borealis extract was determined to be 5 mg/mL against Salmonella choleraesuis. All fractions of Sasa borealis extract had extremely strong antibacterial activities. MIC of fractions were determined to be 0.03~2.5 mg/mL. These results suggest that the extracts and fractions of Sasa borealis effectively inhibited bacterial growth and thus are useful as natural antibacterial agents.

산림발달에 따른 조릿대 임분의 구조적 특성을 구명하기 위해 전남 광양의 백운산 지역내 천연임분과 1987년 벌채임분, 1993년 벌채임분에서의 조릿대 발생임분과 비발생 임분에 대해 식생조사를 실시하였다. 또한, 상층 수목의 생장에 대한 조릿대의 영향을 조사하기 위해 조릿대가 분포하는 임분과 분포하지 않는 임분에서 공통적으로 중요도가 높은 졸참나무와 서어나무에 대한 연륜 생장량 분석을 실시하였다. 조사연구지역의 식생형은 조릿대 우점 식생형과 조릿대 소점 또는 무점 식생형으로 크게 분류되었으며. 전자의 경우 졸참나무-서어나무/조릿대 군락, 때죽나무-쪽동백나무/조릿대 군락, 층층나무-산뽕나무/조릿대 군락, 느티나무-조릿대 군락 등 4개의 군락으로 분류되었고, 후자의 경우는 졸참나무/비목군락, 층층나무/비목 군락, 졸참나무/당단풍/물참대 군락, 물푸레나무-졸참나무/비목/회잎나무 군락, 산딸기-산수국 군락, 산딸기-싸리 군락 등 6개 군락으로 분류되었다. 임분발달 단계에 따라서는 천연임분의 경우 졸참나무와 서어나무 중심의 낙엽활엽교목과 하층식생으로서 조릿대가 우점하는 반면, 벌채임분의 경우 하층식생으로서의 조릿대 출현밀도가 다양하게 나타났다. 졸참나무와 서어나무의 초기생장기에는 조릿대가 발생하지 않은 임분에서 자라는 개체들의 연륜폭이 조릿대 발생임분에서 자라는 개체들의 연륜폭보다 넓었으나 약 30년을 전후하여 반대 현상이 나타나고 있어 조릿대에 의한 생장감소는 없는 것으로 판단된다.

As obesity is known to be related to hyperlipidemia, diabetes and coronary heart disease, and other chronic diseases, many researches have focused on functional food materials showing anti-obesity activity. The adipokines secreted by adipose tissue, resistin and adiponectin are known to play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases directly. C-reactive protein and homocysteine are molecules regulated by adipose tissue indirectly also relate to the chronic diseases. This study was performed to study of the anti-obesity effects of Sasa borealis in diet-induced obese mice (C57/BL6J). The mice were divided into four group: NFD (Normal fat diet), HFD (High fat diet), BSE (High fat diet containing 5% of 70% ethanol extract of Sasa borealis leaves), BLW (High fat diet containing 5% of water extract of Sasa borealis leaves). The experimental diets were fed for 11 weeks. The final body weight of the mice in the groups of BSE and BLW groups were significantly lower than the HFD group. The effects of weight reduction were due to reduced body fat accumulation. The adiponectin levels are significantly decreased in HFD group compared than NFD group and increased taken by Sasa borealis containing diet. The resistin levels are not significantly different between experimental groups. The CRP and homocyteine levels are significantly higher in HFD group than NFD group and significantly decreased by Sasa borealis containing diet, especially BLW group. These results indicate that orally administered Sasa borealis not only has the effect of reducing the body weight and total fat weight, but preferable effect in adiponectin levels and related molecules as CRP and homocysteine. Therefore we expect the Sasa borealis may have an anti-obesity function and anti-metabolic syndrome effect in diet-induced obese mice.

The deciduous shrubs, Lindera sericea belonging to family Lauracea are distributed in Mt. Chogye and Mudeung locally. To estimate the community structure of this shrub, the relationship between the floristic composition and environmental factors of 20 sites in Mt. Chogye were investigated. L. sericea community distributed at the hum양 zone of altitude 305-480 m in ES and NE slope of $15~30^{\circ}$. The floristic composition of this communities consisted of 17-32 species varied with sites. Sasa borealis, Sapium japonicum, and Quercus serrata were the constant species over 90%. The forest vegetation was classified as Sasa borealis-Lindera sericea community, and the Sasa borealis-Meliosma oldhamii, and Sasa borealis-Callicarpa japonica were as subunit community. Acidity, organic matter content, inorganic phophate, potassium, calcium, magnesium, cation exchange capacity and conductivity were determined as environmental factors. Diameter of stem at ground surface and stem, distribution area and growth property of this plant were investigated, and this plant was presumed to be a relic endemic species.

조릿대(Sasa borealis)집단에서 미세지리적 변이에 대한 공간적 상관관계를 조사하였다. 각 거리등급당 대립유전자좌위에서 연결계수(하나의 대립유전자좌위에서 유전자형의 조합)를 산출하였으며 그 계수가 임의 예상 값에 유의성을 가지는지 검증하였다. 150 경우 중 25 경우$(16.7\%)$가 예상 값과 유의하게 차이를 나타내었다. 이들 값 중에서 8경우$(4.7\%)$는 음의 값으로 거리등급에서 개체쌍이 유전적 비친화성이 있음을 나타낸다. 조릿대는 죽세공에 쓰이므로 인위적 별채에 의해 한국내 자연집단은 유효 집단이 유지되지 못하는 등 집단 파괴가 이루어지고 있다. 특히 조릿대가 잘 발달되어온 지리산 집단의 경우 공간적 유전 구조가 결여되어 있었다.

Objectives : This study was performed to investigate the antioxidant activity of water and ethanol extracts from Sasa borealis leaves, stems and roots. Methods : Sasa borealis leaves, stems and roots extract were prepared using water and ethanol. The total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents were analyzed. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenging activity, SOD like activity, 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)(ABTS), hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, and Nitrite scavenging activity assays were carried out to determine the antioxidant activities. Results : The antioxidant activities of the Sasa borealis appeared higher in ethanol extract than water extracts. Total polyphenol and total flavonoids contents in ethanol extracts of leaves were $24.6mg/m{\ell}$ and $14.3mg/m{\ell}$, respectively, which were much higher than those of any other parts. SOD like activity was 70% ethanol extract of the leaves was highest with 15.68%. Electron donating ability was 70% ethanol extract of the leaves had the highest 59.07%. It exhibited high electron donating ability than BHT(45.68%). Nitrite scavenging activity of 70% ethanol extract was higher than the water extract at pH 2.5 and pH 4.2. Nitrite scavenging activity was 70% ethanol extract of the leaves was the highest 75.2%. Hydroxyl radical scavenging activity was 70% ethanol extract of the leaves was highest with 16.16%, showed very low activity than BHT(61.56%). Conclusions : These results suggest that 70% ethanol extracts from Sasa borealis leaves, exhibited higher antioxidant activities than those of root and stem, and can be potentially used as proper natural antioxidants.

Leaf of Sasa borealis, a species of bamboo, has been reported to exhibit anti-hyperglycemic effect. However, its antidiabetic mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, we examined whether an extract of S. borealis activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and exerts anti-hyperglycemic effects. Treatment with the S. borealis extract increased insulin signaling and phosphorylation of AMPK and stimulated the expression of its downstream targets, including $PPAR{\alpha}$, ACO, and CPT-1 in C2C12 cells and $PPAR{\alpha}$ in HepG2 cells. However, inhibition of AMPK activation attenuated insulin signaling and prevented the stimulation of AMPK target genes. The S. borealis extract increased glucose uptake in C2C12 cells and suppressed expression of the gluconeogenic gene, PEPCK in HepG2 cells. The extract significantly reduced blood glucose and triglyceride levels in STZ-induced diabetic mice. The extract enhanced AMPK phosphorylation and increased Glut-4 expression in the skeletal muscle of the mice. These findings demonstrated that the S. borealis extract exerts its anti-hyperglycemic effect through activation of AMPK and enhancement of insulin signaling.

본 연구는 전국에 분포하는 조릿대[Sasa borealis (Hack.) Makino & Shibata]의 12 개체군을 대상으로 유전다양성을 분석하고, 이러한 분석 결과를 식물지리학적인 해석을 통하여 기후변화와 같은 변화 요인을 객관적으로 측정하고 예측할 수 있는 방법을 제시하기 위해 수행되었다. AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) 분석을 통한 유전다양성 조사 결과, 조릿대 개체군의 유전다양성(PPL = 37.2%, h = 0.143, I = 0.205)과 유전적 분화도($G_{ST}$= 0.324, ${\theta}^B$=0.395)는 비교적 높은 수준으로 나타났다. AMOVA (Analysis of molecular variance) 분석 결과에서도 전체 유전적 변이 중 47.7%가 개체군 간 변이에 의한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 조릿대 개체군들의 유전다양성은 위도가 높아짐 따라 감소하는 것이 확인 되었으며, 이는 남방계 식물인 조릿대의 분포가 낮은 위도에서 높은 위도로 전파된 과정과 일치하는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 따라서 식물 개체군의 AFLP 분석 결과를 위도 변화와 비교 분석함으로써 기후변화에 따른 분포 변화의 정도를 파악하고 주요 식물의 보전 전략을 세우는 데 필요한 정보를 제공할 수 있다.

The present study elucidated the growth properties of Sasa borealis communities distributed in the lower layer of deciduous broadleaf forests in temperate zones and analyzed the correlation between the growth properties of S. borealis and positional environmental factors. The higher the culm height of S. borealis was, the higher the values of the leaf number, leaf area, and foliage layer thickness became. This might be because as the culm height of S. borealis increased, the acquisition of light sources became easier so that the biomass of leaves increased simultaneously for smooth anabolism. S. borealis seem to change their growth mode for smooth acquisition of light resources. The culm density of S. borealis and the leaf number, leaf area and foliage layer thickness of S. borealis did not show any clear correlation. The values of the culm height, leaf number, leaf area, and foliage layer thickness of S. borealis as the above altitude of the location of S. borealis increased. It seems like that growth conditions such as temperatures and winds are deteriorated as the above altitude of the location of S. borealis increased so that S. borealis becomes smaller. No clear correlations were shown between the physiochemical properties of soil and S. borealis' growth properties. It seems like that the growth of S. borealis complexly intertwined with diverse environmental factors and that due to the physiological integration of S. borealis, certain physiochemical properties do not unilaterally affect S. borealis' growth properties.
