After evaluation of antithrombotic effect of 40 herbs on platelet aggregation induced by ADP(Adenosine diphosphate), these results were obtained as follows: 1. Crude drugs exerting over 30 % of in Chinemys reevesii (Gray)hibition on platelet aggregation induced by ADP were Ganoderma japonicum (Fr.) Lloyd., Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., Gastrodia elata Bl., Thea sinensis, Chinemys reevesii (Gray), Cuscuta chinensis Lam., Cervus nippon Temminck., Biota orientalis (L.) Endl., Coriolus versicolor, Cinnamomum cassia Presl., Sophora flavescens Ait., Amomum villosum Lour., Carthamus tinctorius L., Rubus chingii Hu., Poria cocos (Schw.) Wolf., Laminana japonica Aresch., Ligustrum lucidum Ait., Angelica sineusis (Oliv.), Cyperus rotundas L., Ginkgo biloba L., Zingiber officinale Rosc., Prunus persica (L.) Batsch., Schizandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill. and Plantago asiatica L.. 2. Of crude drugs having showed over 50% of inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation, at the concentration of $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, the inhibitory rates were 82.2% in Ganoderma japonicum (Fr.) Lloyd., 55% in Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., 50.8% in Gastrodia elata Bl., while at the concentration of $200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, antithrombotic rates were 89.4% in Ganoderma japonicum (Fr.) Lloyd., 59.2% in Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., 57.9% in Thea sinensis, 52.7% in Gastrodia elata Bl.. These results suggest that the study sholuld be necessary on antithrombotic effect of solvent fractions of Ganoderma japonicum (Fr.) Lloyd., Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., Gastrodia elaha B1. and Thea sinensis and isolation of effective compound from above drugs.

Tea plant has been mllainly grown in shade aild wet flace of several temple surroundings for a long years in sourthern area of Korea, since it has been introduced about1,000 years ago In those rlaces, it has been mostly grown in semi-wild, but recentlycultivated in a part of Bosung-gun, Cheonnanl province. External forms of tea plantwere considered that those have a little changed according to geographic andclimatic conditions of growing places. To investigate how is the variation of teaplant by the difference of environment conditions under growing places, we had ex-amined the protein and isozyme patterns of seeds of tea plant. In spite of difference ofgeographic and climatic conditions, the patterns of catalase, esterase, acid phosphat-ase isozyme and protein showed the same aspects.

Soybean sprouts presoaked to leaf extracts were on sale as taking a growing concern about wellbeing foods. The study was carried out to compare the effects of culture period after presoaking tea (Thea sinensis L.) and hard rubber tree (Eucommia ulmoides Oliver) leaf extracts on lateral root formation, growth and morphological characters of the sprouts. Seeds of three cultivars, Pungsannamulkong, Sowonkong and Junjery, were imbibed for 5 hours into 10% solutions immediately before 5, 6 and 7 day cultures. The cultured sprouts were classified into 4 categories to calculate their composition rates on the base of hypocotyllengths; >7 cm (A),4 to 7 cm (B),< 4 cm (C) and not germinated (D), and their morphological characters, fresh and dry weights were measured. Rate of A was the lowest in Junjery of the three cultivars, while that of C showed reverse result compared to A. Similar results to that of A were observed between the three cultivars in sprout length including hypocotyl and root, diameters in middle and hook parts of hypocotyl, total fresh and dry weights. Regardless of tea and hard rubber tree leaf extract treatments, longer culture periods increased rate of A due to decrements of B, C and D, and also did the growth and the morphological characters mentioned above. Although longer culture periods reduced the increment of lateral roots, the latter treatment was more delayed in their formation and less in the roots per sprout than the former one. The growth and the morphological characters above were less in the latter treatment than in the former one in general, meaning that hard rubber tree leaf extract could more repress growth of soybean sprouts than tea leaf extract.

The effect of shading on mineral elements, free amino acids, and fatty acids content of tea shoot was examined under different shading periods. The results are summarized as follows. The con­tent of $NH_4^+$, $K^+$. $Mg^{++}$, $PO_4^{--}, was increased, but that of $Na^+$, $Ca^{++}$, $F^-$, $Cl^-$, $No_3^-$, $So_4^{--}$ was de­creased with the passage of shade treatment periods. The content of Total- Nitrogen of tea shoot was the highest in the 55% 10days+95% 5days shading as 6.07%. The content to Total Free Amino Acid was hagher ranged from 20mg/100g to 80mg/100g in shading treatment compered with the un shading treat­ment. The content of Theanine was the highest in 55% 10days+95% 5days shading as 1834mg/100g,while that of unshading was the lowest as 1247mg/100g. The content of Theanine was decreased with the passage of shading periods. The content of Fatty Acid was the highest in the 55% 15days+95% 15days shading as 3164mg/100g, while the unshading treatment had the lowest in the 55% 5days+95% 5days as 2435mg/100g.

Methanol extracts were prepared from 32 medicinal herbs of the extracts were tested their microbial inhibition activities against food borne pathogens and/or food poisoning microorganisms, food-related bacteria and yeast. Methanol extracts of Cinnamomum cassia, Paeonia suffruticosa, Alnus japonica, Eugenio caryophyllata and Illicium verum exhibited antimicrobial activity for the microorganisms tested, except lactic acid bacteria and yeast. Minimum inhibitory concentrations(MIC) were about 5 mg/mL for Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Cell growth of lactic acid bacteria was inhibitied, but greatly on Leuconostoc mesenteroides. The phenolic compound contents were 10.98 mg/g, 10.31 mg/g, 8.55 mg/g and 6.69 mg/g in Thea sinensis, Eugenia caryophyllata, Alnus japonica and Artenisia capillaris, respectively. Antimicrobial activity appeared to be related to phenol compound content in medicinal herbs. The methanol extracts of medicinal herbs could be suitable for the development of a food preservative.

Lateral roots of soybean sprouts should deeply affect their quality and marketability. The study was done to compare the effects of ocher, chitosan, corn kennel, tea (Thea sinensis L.) and hard rubber tree (Eucommia ulmoides Oliver) leaf extracts on lateral root formation, growth and morphological characters of the sprouts. Seeds of three cultivars, Pungsannamulkong, Sowonkong and Junjery, were imbibed for 5 hours into their 10% solutions and cultured for 6 days. The cultured sprouts were classified into 4 categories to calculate their composition rates on the base of hypocotyl lengths;>7 cm (A), 4 to 7 cm (B), < 4 cm (C) and not germinated (D), and their morphological characters, fresh and dry weights were measured. Composition rate of A was the lowest in Junjery of the three cultivars, while that of C showed reverse result compared to A. This results was the most distinct in hard rubber tree leaf extracts (HRTLE) of the five treatments. In HRTLE treatment, lateral root formation rate were formed in almost of Sowonkong although reduced in order of Pungsannamulkong and Junjery. However, there was no significant difference between the other treatments. Lateral roots per sprout were the lowest in HRTLE treatment of the 5 treatments. In all treatments except the chitosan treatment, the roots were most formed in Sowonkong but least in Junjery. Sprout length adding hypocotyl and root was the shortest in Junjery compared to the other two cultivars. and was the longest in tea leaf extract treatment but the shortest in HRTLE treatment. The result in total fresh weight of sprouts was similar to that of the sprout length.

To classify and analyze the forest communities and their structures, the vegetation in Mt. Joghe was investigated from July, 1980 to August, 1989. The results obtained are as follow ; 1. A total of 750 kinds of vascular plant(49 orders, 122 families, 434 genera, 627 species, 1 subspecies, 111 varieties and 11 forma)were observed in Mt. Ioghe. The newly observed plant species were Dioscorea quingueloba, Spiranthes sinensis, Cephalanthera falcata, Angelica gigas, Clematis patents, Paeonia obovata, Hibiscus mulabilis, Ainsliaea acerifolia, Dictamnus dasycarpus, Cynachum ascyrifolia, Vaccinium koreanum, Erythrortium japonicum, Indigofera kirilowii (17species), Broussonetia kazinoki var, humillis, Euonymus, fortunei var. radicans, Juniperus communis var, nippnnica, Callicarpa japonica var. radicans, Joniperus communis var. rzipponica, Callicarpa japonica var. taquetii (4 varieties) and L indera obtusiloba for. billosum (1 forma). 2. The life spectrum of flora in Mt. Joghe was classified into $CH-D_1-R_5-e$ type. Distribution area was identical to Southern type by Nakai, Lee, and Yim. A few subtropical species were also observed. 3. Simpson's species diversity index(Ds) was 0.9 and Shannon-Weiner's diversity index (H') was 1.004. These indice suggest that the vegetation in Mt. Joghe is of complicated forest communities. 4. Pte-Q was 1.81 which was higher than the nationwide mean of 1.68. Urbanization Index (UI) was 28.75 for naturalized plant species, and 17.49 for exotic woody plant species, which were similar to those of Mt. Baekun and Mt. Naejang. 5. The forest vegetation of Mt. Joghe was grouped in 3 vegetation types : 7 natural plant Communities dominated by Quercus serrat, Quercus acutissima, Quercus variabilis, Carpinus laxiflora, Pinus derasiflora and Platycarya strobilacea, 8 substitutional plant communities Styrax japonica, Stewartia koreana, Lindera erytlrrocarpa, Zelkova serrata, Rhtrs chinensis, Controversa, and Frzrxirtus manrlshurica, and 7 plantation Communities composed of Pinus koraiensis, Pinus rigida, Magnolia nbnvata, Chamecyparis obkrsa, Larie ieptolepis, Castanea crenata and Cryptomeria japonica. 6. Actual vegetation maps and profile diagrams were made by phytosocialogical classification. 7. As the important and unique species in Mt. Joghe, Lindera sericea, Penicaria tilitorme, Hex macropoda, Hex macropoda for. pseudo-macropoda, Steroartia koreana, Adenopkora palustris and Corylop.,is coreana, which were also seported by Lee(1977), Kim and Yark(1989), were identified and Vaccinium coreanum, Cremastra appendiculinium, Juniperus comminis van. nipponica, Cephalanthera falcata, Broussortetia kazinoki var. humilis, paeonia obovata, Deutzia prunifolia, Dictamnus dasyarpus, Angelica gigics and Bupleurum falcatum were odditionally observed.
