The analytical method of ${\beta}-ecdysone$, the insect moulting hormone, by high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) with UV detector was developed using boronic ester derivatization and applied to the extracts of Ajuga iva, Silene otites and Schistocerca egg. Derivatization of yield with methyl-, butyl-, and phenyl-boronate was completed under mild conditions with 20-hydroxyecdysone. The conversion ratios of boronate were estimated to be 70% in methylboronic acid, 89% in butylboronic acid and 93% in phenylboronic acid. Phenylboronate showed a high sensitivity and demonstrated an effective separation on HPLC. The optimum temperature and reaction time for derivative formation were $25^{\circ}C$ and 20 min. respectively. ${\beta}-Ecdysone$ was effectively identified in extracts of Ajuga iva, Silene otites and Schistocerca egg by the HPLC method.

In the neat flow vacuum pyrolysis of 2-methoxy-2-(o-N,N+dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl-3-trimethylsilyl-5,5-dime-thyl-2-silahexane (4) at $600^{\circ}C$ and its static thermolysis at $350^{\circ}C23-benzo-5-aza-1-silacyclohexane$, (5) has been obtained in97% and 46％ y ields, respectively. Product 5 might have been formed via an intramolecular rearrangement invoIving a zwitterionic species generated from the pentacoordinated silene Si-atom. From trapping experiments with an excess of MeOH, we have obtained 2-(o-N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl-5,5-dimethyl-2-trimethylsiloxy-2-silahexane (6) and 2-(o-N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl-2-methoxy-5,5-dime-thyl-2-silahexane (7) formed via an intermolecular protodesilylation reaction rather than through trapped prod-ucts of the silene.

The purpose of this study is to select suitable planting base for the mat-type rooftop greening in order to popularize rooftop greening system easily. The experiment was conducted from 2004 June to 2005 May under several conditions; 4 soil depths under mats(2cm, 5cm, 10cm, 15cm), two soil mixtures(natural soil 80%+leaf mold 20%, artificial soil) and two light conditions(full sun place, 20% shaded place). In this experiment, 3 types of mats were used ; the herbaceous plants mat(11 plants inclusive of Lotus corniculatus L., Silene armeria L.), the lawn mat with Festica arundinacea and Sedum mat with Sedum kamtschaticum, Sedum sarmentosum, Sedum oryzifolium, Sedum middendorffianum. The result is as follows; in the mat-type rooftop greening, the herbaceous plants mat, lawn mat and sedum mat are the similar number of plant and effect of greening on soil depth 2cm, 5cm and 10cm, 15cm. So suitable soil depth of rooftop greening is 10cm for the load and economical factor. Thus the mat-type rooftop greening possible planting base depth of all 13cm as soil depth 10cm and mat depth 3cm. As soil mixtures, the number and growth of plants were better mat and 'natural soil 80% +leaf mold 20%' than mat and artificial soil. In herbaceous plants mat, Silene armeria L., Dianthus chinensis, Centaurea cyanus L., Lotus corniculatus L. are survival in full sun place and Silene armeria L., Dianthus chinensis, Centaurea cyanus L. are survival in 20% shaded place. In conclusion, selection of suitable soil mixtures and plants is possible extensive management rooftop greening with effect of continuous greening. The mat-type rooftop greening are lightweight and simple preparation without management and can popularize readily.

Background: Abandoned coal piles after the closure of mines have a potential negative influence on the environment, such as soil acidification and heavy metal contamination. Therefore, revegetation by efficient species is required. For this, we wanted to identify the role of Silene acaulis in the succession of coal piles as a pioneer and a nurse plant. S. acaulis is a well-studied cushion plant living in the Arctic and alpine environments in the northern hemisphere. It has a highly compact cushion-like form and hosts more plant species under its canopy by ameliorating stressful microhabitats. In this research, we surveyed vegetation cover on open plots and co-occurring species within S. acaulis cushions in coal piles with different slope aspects and a control site where no coal was found. The plant cover and the similarity of communities among sites were compared. Also, the interaction effects of S. acaulis were assessed by rarefaction curves. Results: S. acaulis was a dominant species with the highest cover (6.7%) on the coal piles and occurred with other well-known pioneer species. Plant communities on the coal piles were significantly different from the control site. We found that the pioneer species S. acaulis showed facilitation, neutral, and competition effect in the north-east facing slope, the south-east facing slope, and the flat ground, respectively. This result was consistent with the stress gradient hypothesis because the facilitation only occurred on the north-east facing slope, which was the most stressed condition, although all the interactions observed were not statistically significant. Conclusions: S. acaulis was a dominant pioneer plant in the succession of coal piles. The interaction effect of S. acaulis on other species depended on the slope and its direction on the coal piles. Overall, it plays an important role in the succession of coal piles in the High Arctic, Svalbard.

We describe here an efficient in vitro propagation method of Silene acaulis subsp. arctica (Caryophyllaceae), one of the higher arctic angiosperms, through the multiple shoot regeneration after callus induction from the radicle. The seeds of S. acaulis subsp. arctica collected from Svalbard, the Norwegian Arctic, were germinated and calli were induced from the radicle on solid MS media supplemented with 0.25mg/L 2,4-D and 1mg/L $GA_3$ at both $10{\pm}1^{\circ}C\;and\;23{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ Two weeks after callus induction, the multiple shoots were efficiently regenerated on the MS media supplemented with 0.25 g/L BA and 0.05mg/L HPh. The total biomass increment of regenerated shoots increased most efficiently of S. acaulis subsp. afctica was showed the maximum efficiency in at $23{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ on 1/2 MS salt strength. The multiple regenerated plantlets of S. acaulis subsp. arctics were grown to normal plants on soil.
