  • Polyamines (putrescine, spermidine and spermine) play pivotal roles in plant defense to different abiotic and biotic stresses. In order to understand the function of ginseng spermidine synthase gene, a key gene involved in biosynthesis of polyamines, transgenic plant was generated in Arabidopsis. The transgenic plants exhibited high levels of polyamines compared to the untransformed control plants. We investigated the tolerance capacity of transgenic plants to abiotic stresses such as salinity and copper stress. In addition, transgenic plants also showed increased resistance against one of the important fungal pathogens of ginseng, the wilt causing Fusarium oxysporum and one of important bacteria, bacterial blight causing Pseudomonas syringae. However, an activity of the polyamine catabolic enzyme, diamine oxidase (DAO) was increased significantly in F. oxysporum and P. syringae infected transgenic plant. Polyamine catabolic enzymes which may trigger the hypersensitive response (HR) by producing hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) seem act as an inducer of PR proteins, peroxidase and phenyl ammonium lyase activity. The transgenic plants also contained higher antioxidant enzyme activities, less MDA and $H_2O_2$ under salt and copper stress than the wild type, implying it suffered from less injury. These results strongly suggest an important role of spermidine as a signaling regulator in stress signaling pathways, leading to build-up of stress tolerance mechanisms.

  • The present study has been undertaken to detect edible medicinal plants with antineoplastic property on the basic of a number of traditional Korean medical literatures, besides studies on development of anti-cancer medical wild plants growing in Korea and to prove experimentally their efficacy by in vitro and in vivo tests.235 species from 45 family 79 genus were screened primarily as edible sources of antitumor effect. Among those the crude. extracts of 40 spp. showed considerable cytotoxicity in vitro and especially Pegangkuen(Patrinia scabiosaefolia), Deod-eog(Codonopsis lanceolata), Okssusu(Zea may), and Geureong(Eragrositis ferru-ginea) exhibited significant antitumor activity against sarcoma 180 asites mice. However, additional researches should be mode for the confirmation of their availability as antitumor plants.

  • Codonopsis lanceolata (Campanulaceae) has been used in traditional medicines, as its roots contain several kinds of triterpenoid saponin with high medicinal values. In this work, we induced transgenic hairy roots of C. lanceolata and analyzed triterpenoid saponins from the hairy roots and hairy root-derived transgenic plants. Hairy roots were obtained from leaf explants by the transformation of Agrobacterium rhizogenes R1000. Transgenic hairy root lines were confirmed by the transcriptional activities of rolA, B, C, and D genes by RT-PCR. Transgenic root lines actively proliferated on hormone-free medium but not in nontransformed roots. Hairy roots contained richer triterpenoids (lancemaside A, foetidissimoside A, and aster saponin Hb) than nontransformed roots. Transgenic plants were regenerated from the hairy roots via somatic embryogenesis. They showed phenotypic alterations such as shortened shoots and an increased number of axillary buds and adventitious roots. The transgenic plants also contained higher triterpenoid levels than wild-type plants. These results suggest that hairy roots and transgenic plants of C. lanceolata could be used as medicinal materials for the production of triterpene saponins.

  • In this study, we aimed to study carnation italian ringspot virus (CIRV) in Erigeron annuus (L.) Pers. in Bonghwa County, Korea. The collected samples showed mosaic and malformation symptoms. To identify the virus species, we performed high-throughput sequencing, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and cloning. The virus was confirmed to be an unreported species, and therefore we performed genome sequencing of the samples. The complete genome was 4,746 nucleotides in length. The CIRV contained five open reading frames (ORFs), and it showed the typical features of members of the genus Tombusvirus. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that ClRV isolates had the highest nucleotide identities with the CZ isolate (95.89%) from Korea. In recent years, these viruses have sporadically been reported in floral scent and medicinal plants. This research found the first natural host infected with CIRV, and provides baseline information to determine the correlation between weeds and crops.

  • American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) is herbaceous perennial plants indigenous to North American forests. This is highly valued as medicinal herbs with a long history of collection from wild populations since 1716. Wild American ginseng distributed from Quebec in Canada to northern Florida in USA. A heavy concentration is found in the Appalachian mountains, although wild American ginseng is considered endangered. The price paid for field cultivated ginseng has dropped dramatically in the past 10 years, while the price for wild or woods cultivated ginseng has rised significantly. The price curve for ginseng resembles a roller coaster, reflecting not only supply and demand but many other factors. This information will be useful to understand American ginseng compared to Korean ginseng.

  • Codonopsis pilosula and Adenophora triphylla were cultivated by sawing seeds, but the germination rate were low. To cultivate these two wild plants was very difficult. The marketable roots of the plants had low quality. The plant pathogens were very difficulty to prevent the diseases (Rhizoctonia, Pythium, Fusarium, Erwinia, Botrytis, Phythophthora) appeared in cultural state. For the extermination of the disease needs a lot of agricultural chemicals, the effect of remain behind an insecticides was high of a hazardous rate after harvest. On this studies, for the safe prevention of the diseases and the promote of seeds germination, we used Bacillus subtilis, B. liquefaciens, Paenibacillus polymixa, Pseudomonas putida separated in our research, these results would bring us harmless products of medicinal herbs for human.

Extraction of Patrinia hispida Bunge, Pharbitis nilChoisy, Toilis japonica DC, Eragrostis erruginea Beauv. and Forsythia koreana Nakai showed effec-tively supressed on growth rate of cancer tumor by the below 50 percent of T/C ratio at 30mg /mlof extraction from plant. That Is strong activity while Reynouxria japonica Houtt. was observed onlymild activities. The above results many possibly suggest that Patrinia hispido Bunge and Eragrostisferrugina Beauv. inhibited the growth of cancer tumor by the both total packed cell volume methodand cytotoxicity method. Although basic research is still going on, we will find out an accurate moth-od for developing useful medicinal plant to improve pharmacological activites against anti-cancertumor, especialy, in Eragrostis ferruginea Beauv.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the kinds of fresh wild vegetables, the number of street stalsl, seller's age, and the selling list of items of the street stall in the five-day traditional markets of Gyeongnam Tongyoung and Namhae, Jeonnam Naju and Younggwang, Jeonbuk Iksan and Jangsu, from March to May, 2005. The number of street stalls selling fresh wild vegetables was forty nine in Tongyoung, twenty five in Namhae, thirty in Naju, eighteen in Younggwang, one hundred and thirty in Iksan, and seventeen in Jangsu. The selling lists of items totaled forty items; thirty in Tongyoung, seventeen in Namhae, twenty in Naju, sixteen in Younggwang, twenty seven in Iksan, and thirteen in Jangsu. The main kinds were Aster scaber, Aralia elata, Pteridium aquilinum var. latusculum, Artemisia princeps, Sedum sarmentosum, Oenanthe javanica, Pla쇼codon grandiflorum, Petasites japonicus and Allium monanthum. sprouts or woody plants such as Arazia elate, Ailanthus altissima, Meliosma oldhamii, and Kalopanax pictus were also being sold. About $80{\%}$ of the sellers were over fifty one years old. Half of the sellers were at least sixty years old. More thab $77\%$ of the street stalls in the traditional markets sell fewer than four kinds of fresh wild vegetables.
