The effect on the antioxidant activity and Nitric Oxide activity production inhibitory activity of Taraxacum has not been known. Therefore, phenolics and flavonoid contents were investigated from the ethanol extracts of five different Taraxacum species. The results showed that, among the five Taraxacum, T. hallaisanensis contains the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents. When the antioxidant activity was measured by DPPH, $ABTS^+$ and reducing power activity, the free radical scavenging activity of T. hallaisanensis was also the highest among five Taraxacum species. However, measurement by CCK-8 assay in Raw264.7 cells indicated that the extracts of Taraxacum species have no effect on cell viability. Moreover, we also investigated the effect of Taraxacum species on NO scavenging activity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated Raw264.7 cells. The results clearly showed that Taraxacum species inhibited NO production, and the inhibitory effect of T. hallaisanensis was the strongest. The above results suggested that Taraxacum species affected the antioxidant and NO scavenging activity, and among the five species, antioxidant and NO scavenging activity assay of T. hallaisanensis was significantly higher than those of other four Taraxacum species. Therefore, T. hallaisanensis could be used as a potential drug with anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effect.

RAPD를 이용하여 국내에 생육하는 4종의 자생 민들레와 2종의 귀화 민들레 종간의 유전적인 유연관계를 분석하였다 Primer Screening을 통해 선발된 30개의 Primer를 이용하여 RAPD를 행한 결과, Polymorphic band 수는 141개로 나타나 민들레 종간의 유전적인 차이 분석이 가능하였다. Primer OPC12, OPD16, OPK16, OPK17, OPK20, OPSI에서는 각 종마다. 특정 밴드가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 특히 OPS8에서는 564bp에서 귀화종인 서양민들레 종에서만 특이 밴드가 나타났다. RAPD분석결과 자생종과 귀화종 민들레들은 명확히 2군으로 구분되었다. 1군에는 서양민들레. 붉은씨서양민들레 등의 귀화종 그룹이었으며, II군은 민들레, 산민들레, 좀민들레, 횐민들레 등의 자생종 민들레 그룹으로 나뉘어졌다. Bootstrap 방법으로 6종의 유연관계를 분석한 결과도 비유사계수를 통한 방법으로 분석한 결과와 매우 유사하였다 우리 나라에서 자생하는 민들레속 6종의 주요형질을 조사한 결과 I군에 속하는 민들레류는 II군에 속한 종들에 비해 개화일수가 길고, 외총포편의 방향이 다르며 털의 유무 또한 다른 특징이 있었다. ll군에 속하는 횐민들레는 다른 민들레종과는 화색에서 확연한 차이를 보였으며 자생종들 속에서도 잎의 방향과 발아의 생리적 특성 등 유전적으로 여러 다른 점이 복합적으로 작용함으로서 II군내에서도 유전적 거리가 가장 먼 것으로 나타났다.

Genus Taraxacum has been widely used as a folkloric medicine for treatment of diverse diseases. The genetic diversity and relationship among 32 accessions belonging to five Taraxacum species (T. mongolicum T. coreanum, T. coreanum var. flavescens, T. officinale and T. laevigatum) which collected from field, mountain, island and seaside of Korea were evaluated using ISSR markers. A total of 142 ISSR loci detected in the overall species were all polymorphic loci (100%) and interspecies polymorphisms obtained from Korean native and naturalized species were 98.2% and 94.5%, respectively. The genetic similarity matrix (GSM) among 32 accessions ranged from 0.025 to 0.860 with an average of 0.303. According to the clustering analysis, the Korean native species and naturalized species were divided two major clusters. In addition, the different species were divided into independent groups except for the T. coreanum and T. coreanum var. flavescens, and all the 32 accessions could be classified into 7 categories. The study findings indicate that Taraxacum accessions have a high genetic diversity and the dandelion accessions as breeding materials can be effectively utilized for the improvement of Taraxacum breeding.

This study compared the nutritional composition and antioxidative activities of different parts (aerial part and root) of Taraxacum coreanum and Taraxacum officinale. To identify the nutrient composition of different parts of Daedelion species, nutrient contents were analyzed. Crude ash, protein, and fat contents of T. coreanum and T. officinale were higher in the aerial part compared to the root. There was no significant difference in crude ash, protein, or carbohydrate content of the aerial part depending on the Daedelion species. Aerial part contents of vitamin A, E, and C were significantly higher in T. coreanum than T. officinale. The K content of the aerial part of T. coreanum and T. officinale was highest, although there was no significant difference among Daedelion species. Contents of oxalic acid, citric acid, and acetic acid in the aerial part of T. coreanum were highest. Contents of total polyphenols, total flavonoids, and DPPH radical scavenging activity of the aerial part were significantly higher in T. coreanum than T. officinale. In conclusion, the aerial part of T. coreanum and T. officinale could be used as antioxidative functional food sources.

Plants of the genus Taraxacum are well-known as a traditional herbal remedy with a long history, and they have also been extensively used as food, chemicals and cosmetics. In this study, four Taraxacum species distributed in Korea (T. mongolicum, T. officinale, T. mongolicum variation and T. officinale variation) were utilized for an efficient method for direct multiple shooting induction and regeneration, using leaf blade, transition zone, petiole and root as explants in MS media with various hormone concentration and combination. MS medium containing IAA 0.2 mg/L and TDZ 1.0 mg/L showed the highest induction frequency of all the hormone combinations. Besides, the induction of T. mongolicum variation was most effective comparing with the other three species by the average induction frequency of four explants. While the induction effect of leaf blade explant was more obvious than the other three explants. This system exhibited a rapid propagation of shoots from the leaf blade explants and makes it convenient to make use of these Taraxacum species to develop their diverse applications in the future.

Ecological success of introduced species is frequently attributed to the reproductive characters of those species. We examined the relationship between both flowering season and plant size and reproductive characters in two introduced species of Taraxacum, e.g., T. officinale and T.laevigatum. Seventy six plants of T. officinale and 23 plants of T. laevigatum were randomly tagged from a population at the sungshin Women's University in April of 1997. The size and number of vegetative characters such as rosette diameter, leaf number, and the largest leaf length and width were measured for each plant at the onset of flowering. The infructescence was collected continually from each plant before seed dispersal from April to August of 1997. The number of infructescence per plant, and seed number and total seed weight per infructescence were measured. Mean individual seed weight per infructescence was also obtained. T. officinale possessed larger sized, but smaller number of, leaves than T. laevigatum, thereby resulting in no significant difference in total leaf area. There was a trend that vegetatively larger plants in both of these species produced reproductive characters larger in size or greater in number, except for seed number and total seed weight per infructescence in T. laevigatum. All reproductive characters examined in T. officinale decreased toward the end of flowering season. In T. laevigatum, infructescence number per plant also declined during a flowering season: however, mean seed number per infructescence increaed toward the end of flowering season with no significant seasonal change in the total seed weight per infructescence. T. officinale produced on average about twice as many seeds per plant as T. laevigatum during a growing season. These two Taraxacum species produced quite small seeds in size compared to the endemic species, exhibiting a far better dispersal ability of introduced species. These data demonstrate that most reproductive characters decline in size and number in both species during a long flowering period, but the two species appear to employ different strategies to achieve reproductive success in disturbed habitats.

This study was conducted to investigate the heavy metal accumulation in wild plants. The samples from 5 plant species on 14 sites were taken on the roadside where urban and industrial regions in northern Gyeonggi do. Artemisia princeps var. orientalis, Chenopodium album L. var. centrobrum, Erigeron canadensis L., Rumex crispus L. and Taraxacum platycapum H. Dahlst were taken from different parts of the plants gathered in surveyed sites for analysing. This study classified which species were suitable to accumulators, excluders, or indicators which were provided as Phytoremediation for heavy metals(Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb and Zn) and considered the applicability of that work. 1. The mean accumulation of 6 heavy metals in plants was as follows; Zn> Cu> Cr> Pb> Ni> Cd in rows except for Ni and Pb in Erigeron. 2. The highest heavy metal accumulators were Taraxacum and Artemisia. 3. The comparison of heavy metal accumulations between the tops and roots in the plants was as follows; Zn> Cd> Pb> Ni> Cu> Cr. 4. Comparison of heavy metal accumulations between tops and roots, root parts were higher than the top parts in most of the plants. Especially, in Taraxacum, a ratio was over 1.0 in Cr, Ni, and Zn. Therefore, Taraxacum was an accumulator for 3 heavy metals. And Erigeron, Chenopodium, Rumex, Artemisia were good for excluders which had lower than 1.0.

Collected germplasms of five representative dandelion species (Taraxacum ohwianum, T. platycarpum, T. platypecidum, T. officinale, and T. coreanum) were 104 lines from different habitates in Korea and China. Their genetic diversity was analyzed by genomic fingerprinting method using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). AFLP results of 6 primer combinations were revealed 1,176 total DNA fragments and 523 polymorphic bands with a 44.4% ratio of polymorphism. On the basis of similarity coefficient analysis by unweight pair group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA), 104 dandelion germplasm lines were ranged from 0.64 to 0.99 and clustered distinct five group depending on the species. Furthermore, a principal coordinate analysis (PCA) by the application of multi-variate analysis indicated significantly greater differences among species than geographical origins.
