This study was designed to investigate the possible utilization of Zizyphus jujuba leaves as a source of functional ingredients. The physiological activity of different solvent fractions prepared from ethanol extract of Zizyphus jujuba leaves were analyzed. Xanthine oxidase inhibitory effect was very high in all fractions except chloroform fraction. The very high electron donating ability was observed in the ethylacetate fraction and the effect was similar to 0.1% tocopherol. Nitrite scavenging effect of all fractions was more than 40% even at low concentration of 1mg/ml and was increased with increasing concentration. Angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitory activity was appeared in ethyl acetate and chloroform fractions only at high concentraton.

Objective : This study was designed to investigate the effects of non fermented Zizyphus. jujuba mixture (mixed fruit and leaf : ZM) and fermented Z. jujuba mixture(FZM) on fed high-fat diet induced hyperlipidemic rats for development medicinal food. Method : The extracts prepared for Zizyphus. jujuba mixture(ZM) and fermented Z. jujuba mixture(FZM) with Lactobacillus plantarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Experimental group was divided into normal control group(NC group) and high fat diet groups. The high fat diet groups fed high fat diet 2 weeks after was sub-divided into high fat diet control group(HC group), high fat diet positive control group(HPC group), non fermented Z. jujuba mixture extract group(ZM group) and fermented Z. jujuba mixture extract group(FZM group). NC and HC group was orally administerd of 0.9% saline, HPC group administerd lovastatin diluted in 0.9% saline at a dose of 10 mg/kg BW, ZM and FZM groups was administerd each extracts diluted in 0.9% saline at a dose of 300 mg/kg BW once a day on a fixed time for 4 weeks. In the present study we measured organ weight, epididymal fat tissue weight, concentration of serum lipids, hepatic lipids, MDA contents in liver tissue and metabolic variables in serum. Results : ZM and FZM suppressed testis weight loss and FZM decreased epididymal fat tissue weight to level of NC group in high-fat diets. ZM and FZM did not influence on serum cholesterol level, but prominently decreased serum triglyceride concentration compared with HC group, and FZM diminished hepatic triglyceride same as serum. ZM and FZM did not impair liver and kidney function and influence positive effects through by suppression of elevation lipid level. Conclusion : These results suggested that Z. jujuba mixture(ZM, FZM) should be useful developing medicinal food for prevention and improvement of hyperlipidemia and FZM is more suitable agent than ZM.

Zizyphus jujube is a plant in the buckthorn family (Rhamnaceae) that has been the subject of research into antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties of its fruit and seed. However, few studies have investigated its leaves. In this study, the anti-inflammatory activity of ZJL (an extract of Z. jujube leaf) was evaluated to verify its potential as an anti-inflammatory agent and SARS-CoV-2 medicine, using nitric oxide (NO) assay, RT-PCR, SDSPAGE, Western blotting, and UHPLC/TOFHRMS analysis. We found that ZJL suppresed pro-inflammatory mediators such as NO, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells. ZJL acted by inhibiting NF-KB and MAPK signaling pathway activity. We also confirmed that ZJL contains a phenol compound and flavonoids with anti-inflammatory activity such as trehalose, maleate, epigallocatechin, hyperoside, catechin, 3-O-coumaroylquinic acid, rhoifolin, gossypin, kaempferol 3-neohesperidoside, rutin, myricitrin, guaiaverin, quercitrin, quercetin, ursolic acid, and pheophorbide a. These findings suggest that ZJL may have great potential for the development of anti-inflammatory drugs and vaccines via inhibition of NF-κB and MAPK signaling in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells.

Background: This study were performed to determine the effect of root pruning of Zizyphus jujuba var. inermis (Bunge) Rehder. Root cutting inhibit vegetative growth and promote reproductive growth as temporarily reducing growth, net assimilation, water potential of leaf and cytokinin level. Methods and Results: The root pruning was treated of the root cutting widths 50, and 80 ㎝ and the root cutting depths 10, and 20 cm. The amount of root pruning and the number of suckers were the highest in the root-pruning treatment at a width of 50 cm and a depth of 20 cm. The blooming time was from June 18 to 20, and no difference was observed in the blooming time among the root-pruning treatments. The number of flowers was rather higher in the root-pruning treatment at a width of 50 cm and a depth of 20 cm and at a width of 80 cm and a depth of 20 cm. The percentage of fruit setting was higher in the plants whose roots were pruned at a depth of 20 cm than in the untreated plants. The fruit size, fruit weight, and sugar content showed no difference among the root-pruning treatments. Conclusions: The results showed that percentage of fruit setting increased with root pruning, while no difference was observed in the growth and fruit quality of plants.

Leaf litter is the main and quick source of organic matter and nutrient to the soil compared to other parts of litter. This study focused on the nutrients (N, P and K) leaching from leaf litter of Melia azadirachta, Azadirachta indica, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Swietenia macrophylla, Mangifera indica, Zizyphus jujuba, Litchi chinensis, Albizia saman, Artocarpus heterophyllus, Acacia auriculiformis, Dalbergia sissoo and Khaya anthotheca as the common cropland agroforest tree species of Bangladesh. About (9 to 35) % of initial mass was lost, while Electric Conductivity (EC) and TDS (Total Dissolved Solid) of leaching water increased to (573 to 3,247) ${\mu}S/cm$ and (401 to 2,307) mg/l respectively after 192 hours of leaching process. Mass loss (%) of leaf litter, EC and TDS of leaching water showed significant (ANOVA, p<0.05) curvilinear relationship with leaching time. Initial concentration of NH4, PO4 and K in leaching water was found to increase significantly (p<0.05) up to 48/72 hours and then remained almost constant at later stages (48/72 to 192 hours). Mass loss of leaves; EC, TDS, $NH_4$, $PO_4$ and K in leaching water was varied also significantly (ANOVA, p<0.05) among the studied tree species. All the tree species showed similar pattern of nutrients (K>N>P) release during the leaching process. The highest $NH_4$ (4,097 ppm) and potassium (8,904 ppm) concentration was found for M. azadirachta while the highest $PO_4$ (1,331 ppm) concentration was found for E. camaldulensis in the leaching water. Among the studied tree species, M. azadirachta, A. indica, D. sissoo, E. camaldulensis and Z. jujuba was selected as the best tree species with respect to nutrient leaching.

Phoma sp.에 의한 대추나무 점무늬병 방제용 살균제를 선발하기 위하여 모두 26종의 살균제를 대상으로 $250{\mu}g\;a.i./m{\ell}$ 의 농도에서 균사생장을 조사한 결과 benomyl 등 8종의 살균제가 균사생장 억제효과를 보였다. 이들 8종의 살균제에 대하여 균사 최소생장억제농도 (MIC)와 포자발아억제력을 조사하였는데, myclobutanil 등 3종은 포자발아억제력은 우수하였으나 포장에서 사용시의 권장농도보다도 높은 MIC 값을 보여 이들을 제외한 5종 (benomyl, iminoctadine-triacetate (IT), iprodione과 propineb 합제 (IP), thiophanate-methyl과 triflumizole 합제 (TT), carbendazim과 kasugamycin 합제 (CK)에 대하여 온실에서 예방효과와 치료효과를 검정하였다. Benomyl, CK, TT 등의 MIC는 $10-50{\mu}g\;a.i./m{\ell}$ 사이에 있음이 확인되었으며, IP와 IT의 MIC는 $50-250{\mu}g\;a.i./m{\ell}$이었다. 또한 포자발아 억제시험 결과 IT는 $0.4{\mu}ga\;.i./m{\ell}$의 농도에서 99%, 그리고 CK와 TT는 $10{\mu}g\;a.i./m{\ell}$에서 90% 이상의 포자발아를 억제하였으나, benomyl과 IP는 $10{\mu}g\;a.i./m{\ell}$에서 각각 22.8%와 9.2%라는 낮은 억제율을 보였다. 예방효과시험에서 CK와 TT는 모두 권장 농도 (1,000 ppm)에서 70% 내외, 배량 농도 (2,000 ppm)에서 90% 내외의 방제 효과를 보였고, benomyl은 2,000 ppm, IP는 4,000 ppm, IT는 8,000 ppm에서 70% 내외의 병 방제 효과를 보였다. 치료효과시험에서는 각 살균제를 1,000 ppm으로 처리하였을 때 benomyl이 90% 이상의 방제가를, 그리고 CK와 TT가 70-80%의 방제가를 보였다. 반면에 IP는 2,000 ppm에서도 방제가가 6.7%로 매우 낮았으며, IT는 전혀 방제효과가 없었다. 더구나 IT 는 예방 효과 시험과 치료 효과 시험 모두에서 약해를 보였다. 따라서 대추나무 점무의병의 방제약제로는 benomyl이 가장 적합한 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 저항성 균의 출현 등을 저지하기 위해서 병이 발생하기 전에는 CK나 TT를 사용하고, 병이 발생한 이후에는 benomyl을 사용하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 생각한다.

대추나무 잎 이상황화현상이 나타난 과원 토양의 산도는 건전과원 pH 5.6에 비해 pH 5.0으로 매우 강한 산성이었고, 유효인산의 함량은 이상과원이 $645mg\;kg^{-1}$로 매우 높았으나, Mg와 Mn의 함량은 이상과원이 낮았으며, K, Zn, Cu, B의 함량은 큰 차이가 없었다. 이상황화현상은 이현통에서 발생빈도가 가장 높았고, 규암통, 극락통에서도 다소 발생하는 경향이었는데, 이들 토양은 과거에 사과를 재배하였던 토양들이었다. 토양의 Ca/Mg, P/Ca, P/Cu, P/Zn 함량비는 건전과원에 비해 이상과원이 매우 높았으나 Mn/Fe, P/Fe는 이상과원이 낮게 나타났다. 대추나무 잎의 무기성분함량은 건전엽에 비해 이상황화현상이 나타난 잎에 Mg, Fe, N, Zn 함량이 낮았고, K와 Mn의 함량은 높게 나타났으며, 잎의 P/Zn, P/Ca, P/Fe, P/Mn의 함량비는 건전엽에 비해 이상황화현상이 나타난 잎이 높았고, Zn/Fe, Mn/Fe의 함량비는 건전엽에 비해 이상엽이 다소 낮았다. 그러므로 대추나무 잎의 이상황화현상은 토양 양분의 과부족과 양분간의 함량비에 기인되는 영양생리장애 현상인 것으로 추측된다.
