Histones are important proteins that interact with the DNA double helix to form nucleosome. Two putative histone genes, GjH2A-1 and GjH2A-2 were isolated from a red alga Griffithsia japonica. The putative open reading frame of GjH2A-1 and GjH2A-2 shared high similarity with the previously reported amino acid sequences of histone H2As. They have a motif consisting of seven amino acids A-G-L-Q-F-P-V, which matches the histone H2A motif [AC]-G-L-x-F-P-V. Phylogenetic trees were constructed from amino acid sequences of 38 histone H2As. The histone H2As were divided into two groups: major H2As and H2A.F/Z variants. The major histone H2A group consisted of animals, fungi, plants + green algae, and red algae H2A subgroups. The animal histone H2A subgroup was divided into vertebrates, echinoderms, nematodes, insects, and segmented worms H2As. The putative red algal histone genes, GjH2A-1 and GjH2A-2, constituted an independent lineage. This is the first report on red algal histone genes.

A survey was conducted to investigate the presence of epiphytic organisms in four kelp Saccharina japonica farms in the coastal area of Korea from 2014 to 2015. Of 740 kelp samples that were taken, 208 exhibited six kinds of epiphytic organisms, including hydroid (detection rate: 11.6%), bryozoan (6.4%), polychaete (3.4%), algae (3.2%), caprellid (3%), and oyster (0.5%). The infestation rate for hydroid, bryozoan, and polychaete was significantly higher in the Wando farm, Busan farm, and Pohang farm, respectively. Epiphytic organisms were generally observed during May to September and not January to April, indicating that their infestation was significantly higher when the water had a higher temperature. The histopathogical examination revealed that hydroid and bryozoan organisms were attached on the cuticula of the thallus while some algae were attached on the cuticula of the thallus or had penetrated the epidermis. These results indicate that hydroid and bryozoan were the most predominant epiphytic organisms in Korean kelp farms, even though the infested thallus had not been broken.

Medicinal plants were screened for the inhibitory effects on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 pretense. Of the extracts tested, the strong inhibitory effects were observed in the acetone extracts of the pericarp of Camellia japonica. Camelliatannin H from the pericarp of C. japonica showed a potent inhibitory activity on HIV-1 pretense. Effects of the extract and compound from leaves of Zanthoxylum piperitum on the enzyme activities were investigated in the liver of bromobenzene-treated rats. The methanol extract and protocatechuic acid isolated from Z. pipetitum reduced the activity of aniline hydroxylase that increased by bromobenzene, while did not affect the activities of aminopyrin N-demethylase and glutathione S-transferase. The extract and protocatechuic acid recovered significantly the activity of epoxide hydrolase decreased by bromobenzene.

본 연구는 1997년 3월부터 1998년 10월에 걸쳐 이루어졌으며, 한반도 서남해 도서의 소나무림을 대상으로 식물사회학적인 방법에 의해 군락의 유형을 분류하였다. 26개의 방형구를 선정하여 결과 본 조사 지역의 소나무림은 자금-소나무군락과 방아풀-소나무군락으로 분류되었고, 각각의 군락은 털머위하위군락, 졸참나무하위군락 및 전형하위군락과 노간주나무하위군락, 윤노리나무하위군락 및 전형하위군락으로 구분되었다.

This study assessed the subsurface runoff and peak flow reduction in rain gardens. The results showed that the highest water retention was found in rain garden mesocosms in which Rhododendron lateritium and Zoysia japonica were planted, followed by mesocosms in which either R. lateritium or Z. japonica was planted, and the lowest water retention rate was found in non-vegetated control treatment mesocosms(${\alpha}$ < 0.05). Although higher rainfall intensity caused a decrease of peak flow reduction in both vegetated and non-vegetated treatments, peak flow reduction was the greatest in mesocosms with mixed plants. A rain garden can be an effective tool for environment-friendly stormwater management and improving ecological functions in urban areas. Depending on the purpose such as delaying runoff or increasing infiltration, various plant types should be considered for rain garden designing.

The forest vegetation of Mt. Chil-gab was studied from 1983 to 1984. By Z-M method, the actual vegetation was classified into 8 communities and 1 plantation; Quercus variabilis, Q. variabilis-Styrax obassia, Q variabilis-Q. dentata, Q. varisbilid-Q. mongolica, Q. acutissima-Q. variabilis, Zelkova serrata-Styrax japonica, Capinus laxiflora, Pinus densiflora community and Larix leptolepts plantation (on the mountain foot) community. The plant communities of Q. variabilis and S. japonica as edaphic climax, in terms of the isopleth line of warmth index. Based on the data of vegetation survey and environmental analysis, the actual vegetation map and potential natural vegetation map were perpared with scale of 1/25, 000.

From the polar fractions of a 70% EtOH extract of the flower buds of Lonicera japonica (Caprifoliaceae), ten constituents were isolated and identified as iridoid glycosides 7-dehydrologanin (7-ketologanin, 2), secologanin dimethyl acetal (3), (E)-aldosecologanin (centauroside, 5), dimethyl secologanoside (6), secoxyloganin (7) and epivogeloside (8). Other identified constituents were 1-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S,3S,4R,8E/Z)-2-[(2R)-2-hydroxy(docosanoyl, tricosanoyl, tetracosanoyl, pentacosanoyl)amino]-8-octadecene-1,3,4-triol (1), uracil (4), D-mannitol (9), and sucrose (10). Among them, 1, 2, 4, and 10 were isolated for the first time from this plant.

The genus Styrax (Styracaceae) is different from other genera of this family due to the production of resinous material, usually secreted when the barks and trunks are injured by sharp objects. This resin, in the past considered a miraculous remedy in several parts of Asia and America, has been used in traditional medicine to treat inflammatory diseases. The CH$_2$Cl$_2$ fraction of Styrax japonica showed significant cytotoxic activities by SRB method against five human tumor cell lines (A549, HCT-15, MES-SA, SK-OV-3, and SK-MEL-2). (omitted)

수도 생육기간중 이상저온이 내습하였던 1980년에 동일위도상의 표고가 다른 두 개 지역, 수원($127^{\circ}$, $37^{\circ}$20' 표고 37m)과 제천 ($128.2^{\circ}$, $N37^{\circ}$10', 표고 280-300m)에다 Japonica 품종인 대골도, 진흥, 신002와 통일형품종 조생통일, 수원 287호(태백벼), wx 817-1-65-2-3(서울대 농대육성) 등을 4월 21일 파종 6월 1일 이앙하고 출수기, 간장, 수장 및 수량 관련형질들을 조사 비교 검토하였다. 1. 간장, 수장 및 1,000립중은 Japonica품종의 경우는 제천에서 통일형 품종의 경우는 수원에서 약간 작아지는 경향이었으나 유의적인 차이는 아니었다. 2. 수량구성요소중 주당 수수는 제천에서 현저히 증가되었는데 그 정도는 품종에 따라서 달랐으며, 임실율은 수원이 제천보다, Japonica 품종이 통일형 품종보다 높았는데 지역간 차이는 통일형 품종에서 현저하였다. 3. 지역에 따른 품종들의 품종군에 따라 달라 Japonica 품종들(대골도 제외)은 제천에서 월등히 높았으나 통일형 품종들은 제천에서 모두 감수되었다.
