Sixteen kinds of naturally occurring phenolic compounds including 5 stilbenes, 7 flavonoids and 4 anthraquinones were examined in the inhibitory activity against rat liver AADC(aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase) in vitro, using 5-hydroxytryptophan as a substrate. Three hydroxystilbenes, resveratrol 1, rhapontigenin 3 and piceatanol 5, which were known to be monoamine oxidase A inhibitors, exhibited a significant inhibition against AADC($IC_{50}$=20, 8 and $5\;{\mu}M$, respectively). By the comparison of the activity of each phenolic compound, it was suggested that the 3',4'-dihydroxyphenyl group of stilbenes or flavones was the best pharmacophore for the AADC inhibitory activity.

The repellent activity of methanol extracts from 8 aromatic medicinal plant species and a steam distillate against blood-starved Aedes aegypti (L.) females was laboratory examined by skin test and compared with that of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (deet). Reponeses varied according to Plant species. At a dose of $0.1mg/\textrm{cm}^2$, potent repellency against adult mosquitoes was obtained with extracts of Cinnamomum camphora (94.1 %) Cinnamomum cassia bark (91.2%), Eugenia caryophyllata flower bud (72.2%), and Tilia amurensis (69.4%). Repellent activity of these plant extracts was comparable to that of deet (83.4%). The plants described merit further study as potential mosquito-repellent agents.

향끽미종인 소향을 공시하여 묘상면적과 이식노동력을 절감하는 육묘방법과 적정재식밀도를 구명하기 위하여 가식의 여부, 육묘용비닐포트의 크기$(3.5cm{\times}3.5cm, 4cm{\times}4cm and 5cm{\times}5cm)$ 및 혈당주수(1, 3, 5, 7, 9주)를 달리하여 실시한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 혈당건물중 및 L. A. I는 혈당주수가 많을수록 증가하였으나 1엽중, 1엽면적, 단위엽면적중, 액아발생량 및 엽면조도는 감소하였고 포트의 크기에 따른 차이는 통계적으로 유의성이 인정되지 않았다. 2. 생존율은 가식여부에 따른 차이는 없었고 3.5cm 포트가 컸으나 5cm포트에 혈당 7주까지는 재배상의 문제가 없을 것으로 생각되었다. 3. 니코틴은 혈당주수가 많을수록 감소하였으나 포트의 크기에 따른 차이는 통계적으로 유의성이 인정되지 않았다. 4. 수량, kg당 가격 및 10a당 대금은 가식여부 및 포트의 크기에 따라 통계적인 유의성이 인정되지 않았으나 혈당주수가 많을수록 증가하였다. 5. 완화성 및 팽숭성은 혈당주수가 많을수록 좋아졌고, 연소성도 혈당 5주 이상이 혈당 1-3주보다 좋았다. 6. 향끽미종잎담배인 소향의 재부는 가식을 성략하여 $5cm{\times}5cm$ 포트에 혈당 6주를 육묘하는 것이 바람직하다.

The spice phenomenon therapy is to adhibit aromatic herbs or materials to the human body or clothing, for the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. Mankind found the fire, and found that some plants and trees give off smoke when they are burning. Then, they found that some of aromatic substances had certain actions after being absorbed through the respiratory organ, which was the beginning of the spice phenomenon therapy. The spice phenomenon therapy is effective to relieve the exterior syndrome, to eliminate dampness, to regulate Qi flow, and to induce resuscitation. It has two actions. One is that the aromas that permeated the body, refreshes the mind, stimulates the appetite, strengthens the spleen and the stomach, and makes a relaxing sleep. The other is that the aromatic substances, absorbed into the human body, have pharmacological actions. The volatile aromatic substances have various pharmacological actions such as stimulating cranial nerves, dilating cardiac blood vessels, promoting gastric secretion, relaxing and sleep-inducing. It has been proved that the spice phenomenon therapy is anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial and is effective to dilate cerebral blood vessels and to ease the pain. It is expected to be studied more aggressively.

A rapid micropropagation protocol was established for Exacum travancoricum Bedd. The effect of two cytokinins viz. BA and kinetin were studied to evaluate the propagation of plants through nodal explants. MS medium supplemented with 13.32 ${\mu}M$ BA induced early bud break and subsequent production of multiple shoots. Rooting of shoots occurred when cultured on 1/2 strength MS medium supplemented with 14.7 ${\mu}M$ IBA. Rooted plants were acclimatized to greenhouse conditions. The propagated plants were transferred successfully to field with 65% success. As the plant was amenable to propagation in vitro, this can be employed as a tool for conservation of this critically endangered and endemic ornamental herb.

It is of utmost importance to feed the current world population by improving agricultural production with newer varieties of food crops, but what is still more important is to add nutrition into the food. Some of the plants, which are currently growing in the wastelands, contain certain phytochemicals which add to their neutraceutical and health value. These plants contain secondary metabolites which enhance the over all metabolic functions of the body. Withasteroids are one of such phytochemicals. These chemicals are almost exclusively found in plants of the Solanaceae family; one of which, Physalis minima, contains several with asteroids. The aerial parts and roots of P. minima have been found to contain several steroids, identification of which is been discussed in this paper. These with asteroids contribute to the functional value since incorporation of withanolides in the diet may prevent or decrease the growth of tumors in humans.

Essential oils are increasingly of interest for use as novel drugs acting as antimicrobial and antiviral agents. In the present study, we report the in vitro antiviral activities of 29 essential oils, extracted from Chinese indigenous aromatic plants, against the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Of these essential oils, those oils from ginger, lemon, tea tree, tangerine peel, artemisia, and lemongrass effected a more than 50% inhibition of TMV at 100 ${\mu}g/ml$. In addition, the mode of antiviral action of the active essential oils was also determined. Essential oils isolated from artemisia and lemongrass possessed potent inactivation and curative effects in vivo and had a directly passivating effect on TMV infection in a dose-dependent manner. However, all other active essential oils exhibited a moderate protective effect in vivo. The chemical constitutions of the essential oils from ginger, lemon, tea tree, tangerine peel, artemisia, and lemongrass were identified by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The major components of these essential oils were ${\alpha}$-zingiberene (35.21%), limonene (76.25%), terpinen-4-ol (41.20%), limonene (80.95%), 1,8-cineole (27.45%), and terpinolene (10.67%). The curative effects of 10 individual compounds from the active essential oils on TMV infection were also examined in vivo. The compounds from citronellal, limonene, 1,8-cineole, and ${\alpha}$-zingiberene effected a more than 40% inhibition rate for TMV infection, and the other compounds demonstrated moderate activities at 320 ${\mu}g/ml$ in vivo. There results indicate that the essential oils isolated from artemisia and lemongrass, and the individual compound citronellal, have the potential to be used as an effective alternative for the treatment of tobacco plants infected with TMV under greenhouse conditions.

본 연구는 도시형 온실 삼림욕장 개발을 목표로 하여 이 삼림욕장 조성에 이용될 후보식물들의 내음성을 조사하고자 수행되었다. 후보식물로 소나무, 장백소나무, 눈측백나무, 백리향, 인동덩굴 및 생강이 선정되어 각각 자연 전광의 50%, 30%, 10% 및 2% 로 조절된 피음포지에서 생육하였으며, 뱀고사리의 경우에는 시험용 삼림욕장내 상대광도가 자연 전광의 10~15%와 25~30%가 되는 장소에서 생육하였다. 소나무, 장백소나무, 백리향은 광도가 낮아짐에 따라 수고 및 근원경 생장과 건물질 생산량이 감소하였다. 눈측백나무와 생강은 50%에서의 생장이 오히려 대조구보다 좋았으며, 뱀고사리의 경우에는 상대광도가 낮을수록 생장이 양호하였다. 본 실험의 결과로 볼 때 소나무, 장백소나무 및 백리향은 눈측백나무와 생강에 비하여 온실 삼림욕장내에서 상대적으로 광도가 높은 장소에 적합하고, 뱀고사리는 앞으로 이러한 실내 공간에 매우 적합한 식물로 사료된다.
