The compositions of essential oils isolated from the aerial parts of Chrysanthemum boreale and C. indicum by steam distillation were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Ninty-four components were identified in the essential oil from C. boreale, with camphor (15.40% as GC peak area), cir-chrysanthenol (14.11%), ${\alpha}-thujone$ (13.27%), 1,8-cineole (4.16%), ${\alpha}-pinene$ (3.80%), ${\beta}-caryophyllene$ (3.58%), gremacrene D (2.69%), camphene (2.40%), umbellulone (2.24%) and ${\beta}-pinene$ (2.00%) as the major constituents. In the oil from C. indicum, the major constituents among 80 components identified were germacrene D (16.50%), camphor (10.04%), ${\alpha}-thujone$ (6.40%), ${\alpha}-pinene$ (4.50%), ${\alpha}-cadinol$ (3.97%), camphene (3.82%), ${\beta}-pinene$ (3.67%), zingiberene (3.64%), cis-chrysanthenol (3.45%), piperitone (3.09%), 1,8-cineole (2.61%) and chrysanthenone (2.42%). The oil from C. boreale, although similar to that from C. indicum in many respects, contained proportionately higher levels of camphor, cis-chrysanthenol, ${\alpha}-thujone$, 1,8-cineole and umbellulone, while that from C. indicum contained higher levels of germacrene D, ${\beta}-caryophyllene$, ${\alpha}-cadinol$, zingiberene, cis-chrysanthenol and piperitone.

The objective of this study was to compare the aroma characteristics and antioxidant activity of Chrysanthemum indicum Linne (CIL), C. morifolium Ramat (CMR) and C. zawadskii var Latilobum (CZL). The volatile compounds were extracted by simultaneous steam distillation extraction and identified with gas chromatography/mass spectrometer. The major volatile compounds of Chrysanthemum sp. were camphene, 1,8-cineole, benzene, pinocarvone, bicyclo-2,2,1-heptan-2-ol, ${\beta}$-caryophyllene, 3-cyclohexen-1-ol, ${\gamma}$-curcumene, zingiberene and ${\beta}$-bisabolene. The DPPH radical scavenging activity (EDA, %) of volatile compounds in CIL, CMR and CZL were 30.57, 46.36, and 51.72%/g sample, respectively. The ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity (AEAC) of volatile compounds were 34.99, 35.31, and 38.48 mg AEAC/g, respectively.

The compositions of the leaf monoterpenoids in 7 species of Thuja (Thuja orientalis, T. orientalis 'Avrea Nana', T. orientalis cv. compacts, T. occidentalis, T. occidentalis 'Boothii', T. occidentalis 'Pumila', T. occidentalis 'Tiny Tim') were analyzed by GC-MS and compared between species. These Thuja contains 30 compounds and α -pinene, camphene, sabinene, myrcene, limonene, bonyl acetate, γ-terpinene, α -terpinenyl acetatee are occurred in these all species. Compounds in these leaf extracts are remarkably different between species. The simplest monoterpenoid (11 compounds) was found in T. orientalis 'Avrea Nana' the most complex monoterpenoid was in T. occidentalis 'Pumila'(26 compounds). Based on these data, similarities are computed using presence/absence matching by PAUP (Phylogenetic Analysis Using Parsimony). It appears that four taxa are present within these Thuja plants. The minimum spanning network reveals that Thuja occidentalis and Thuja occidentalis 'Boothii' were the most similar compounds.

The physical properties of essential oil of nutmeg extracted in different methods (SDE, Solvent, $CO_2$) were investigated and also the components of essential oil were analyzed using G.C. and G.C./ Mass. Solvent extraction yield was 23% and was higher than those of SDE extraction and $CO_2$ extraction. From the analysis result and physical properties of nutmeg oil, it was conformed that the nutmeg used In this experiment was similar to East Indies type. The content of sabinene was 3.6-14.1%, 28.4-48.7% for myristicin, 1.2-2.1% for elemicin, and 3.6-5.6% for safrole. The camphene was identified in SDE extracts but not in $CO_2$ extracts. The volatile components of SDE extracts and solvent extracts contained large amount of monoterpene and terpene alcohol but $CO_2$ extracts aminly contained aromatic compounds.

Resistant and susceptible pine (Pinus thunbergii, Parl) trees to pine gall midge (Thecodiplosis japonensis, Uchida et Inouye) were selected and monoterpene composition in one year old branches, shoots and needles of both groups have been analysed by GLC. The results are summarized as follows; 1. Monoterpene composition in either one year old branches or shoots were not affected by their directions (North or South). 2. Major monoterpenes in one year old branches were ${\alpha}-pinene,\;{\beta}-pinene$, myrcene, limonene, ${\beta}-phellandrene$ and terpinolene. 3. In addition to ${\alpha}-pinene$, camphene, ${\beta}-pinene$, myrcene, ${\Delta}^3-carene$, limonene, ${\beta}-phellandrene$ and terpinolene, several less volatile components which appear to be monoterpenes were also present in shoots and needles. 4. Compared with the susceptible pine, the resistant tree was found richer in limonene composition. 5. ${\beta}-Pinene$ composition in the resistant pine was less than that in the susceptible pine. 6. The difference in the composition of limonene or ${\beta}-pinene$ between two groups of pine trees was discussed in relation to the resistance to pine gall midge.

Essential oil of the root of Angelica koreana Max. (Umbelliferae) was investigated. Essential oil was obtained from the dried roots by steam distillation and fractionated by column chromatography. Each isolate or fraction was identified by GC, GC-MS and spectral analysis. It was found to contain nine monoterpenes such as ${\alpha}-pinene$(7.0%), camphene, ${\beta}-pinene$, myrcene, ${\alpha}-phellandrene$, ${\Delta}-3-carene$, p-cymene, limonene(2.8%), terpinolene and also found to contain m-cresol(11.6%), citronellol, citral b, methylcinnamate, eudesmol and osthol. 2-Hydroxy-5-methylacetophenone and twelve compounds were tentatively identified.

To investigate the constituents of following plants, Valeriana fauriei species, which are V. fauriei var. fauriei $H_{ARA}$, V. fauriei form. coreana $H_{ARA}$ and V. fauriei var. dasycarpa $H_{ARA}$, we carried out gas-liquid chromatographical analysis of the volatile oils of these plants and found that camphene, l-bornylacetate, ${\alpha}-pinene,\;{\beta}-pinene$, d,l-limonene, l-borneol and ${\alpha}-kessylacetate$ were common components in their volatile oils. However, their terpenoidal composition was considerably different from ${\alpha}-kessylacetate$ in V. faurie var. fauriei, from kessanol, ledol, kessoglycol and nardol in V. fauriei var. dasycarpa, and from kessoglycoldiacetate, ${\alpha}-kessylalcohol$, faurinone and terpineol in V. faurie form. coreana. It was found by gas-liquid chromatography that the terpenoidal patterns of these Korean valerians were similar to those of Japanish valerians.

To investigate phytotoxic substances in some donor plants and their biological activities, seed germination and seedling growth of receptor plants were examined at different concentrations of aqueous extracts and essential oils of the donor plants. Germination of some receptor species was inhibited by the extracts, while seedling growth was decreased to a lesser degree than in the germination test. Germination, seedling growth and dry weight growth of Achyranthes japonica grown in pot were proportionally inhibited by the extracts. Volatile substances emitted some donor plants caused inhibitory effects in the germination and seedling growth of the receptor species. Essential oil of the plants extracted by Karlsruker's apparatus Inhibited growth of microorganisms, callus growth and root hair development of receptor plants. The cortical cells at the root tips of Latuca sativa treated with essential oils showed contraction of the cytoplasm, resulting in plasma membranes becoming detached from the cell walls and the cells metamorphosing irregularity. Accumulation of lipid granules Inside contracted cytoplasm and degeneration of mitochondrial cristae were also observed. The GC/MS method was employed for analysis and identification of allelochemicals from donor plants. Sixty-one chemical substances such as camphene, cineole etc. were identified from essential oils of Artemisia argyi.
