The bioactive compound and antioxidant property of Korean yam (Dioscorea batatas DECNE.) were studied using in vitro methods. Yam available in Korea was analyzed for lycopene, chlorophyll a, b, tannin, phytic acid and total saponin contents. 70% Methanol, 70% ethanol and chloroform-methanol mixture (CM, 2:1, v/v) were used to extract yam. Then the antioxidant activity evaluated through ferrous ion chelating activity, ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching method, lipid peroxidation inhibition and nitric oxide (NO) radical scavenging activity. 70% Methanol extract showed the highest ferrous ion chelating activity and NO radical scavenging activity. And CM extract was the most effective in inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation evaluated by ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching assay and lipid peroxidation inhibition assay. Based on the results obtained, yam is a potential active ingredient that could be applied in antioxidation as well as bio-health functional food to take a good part in prevention of human diseases and aging.

We studied the folilar wiping effects of antioxidants (ascorbate, glutathione and sodium azide), which effectively inhibited the chlorophyll bleaching or completely recorved the early stage of photosynthesis of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, on photosynthesis, stomatal resistance, free sugar, starch, and total saponin contents of ginseng under the excess light intensity (45 kLux) during 6 days. Ascorbate and glutathione, endogenous antioxidant, recovered photosynehtsis and stomatal resistance, and reduced the photoinhibition by the excess light intensity (45 kLux) on free sugar, starch and total saponin contents. But sodium azide, exogenous $^{1}O_2$ quencher, showed negative effect. Therefore, we assumed that carbohydrates and saponin metabolisms of ginseng by antioxidants (ascorbate, glutathione) were normal. For the reduction of inhibition by excess light in ginseng a program for the higher activation of antioxidants and antioxidative enzymes in ginseng leaf will be desirable. Key words Antioxidants, ascorbate, glutathione, Photoinhibition, ginseng.

인삼의 엽소현상과 광계 II(photosystem II)의 광수확 엽록소-단백질 복합체(LHCP II)의 광에너지 분배 기작과의 관계를 구명코저 LHCP II의 인산화에 따른 형광 quenching과 광량별 인산화 정도, 그리고 단백질 조성을 조사하였다. 인삼은 DCMU의 존재 하에서 photosystem II의 형광발생량이 양지식물인 콩에 비해 많았으며, 인간화에 따른 형광 quenching율도 현저히 높았다. 또한, 강광(25k1ux 이상)에서 인삼은 인산화에 따른 형광 quenching율이 콩에 비해서 2배정도 높다는 사실을 확인하였다. 엽록소-단백질 복합체(CP-complex)의 조성비율 및 LHCP II를 구성하고 있는 단백질의 앙과 수적인 면에서 비교식물과 큰 차이를 나타내었는데, 24~29kD 범위에서 인삼은 25, 26, 27kD의 major 밴드와 24, 25.3, 28.3kD의 minor밴드로 구성되어 있었으며 광량에 의존적으로 인산화가 증가하는 인삼의 LHCP II 단백질은 24kD 이었다.

새로 합성된 KC6361화합물은 기존 디페닐에 테르계 화합물에서 보였던 증상(회백색)과는 달리 식물체의 백화를 유기시킬 뿐만아니라 암조건에서 녹화를 유기시키는 생리현상을 가지는 바 본 연구에서는 암조건에서 녹화가 유기되었던 원인을 규명하고자 실험하였다. 1. KC6361은 암조건에서 PPIX의 축적, 광전환 후 Pchlide의 재축적 정도, Shibata shift 등에는 영향이 없었던 반면, ALA, Pchl, Chl은 증가되었으며 이중 Pchl의 축적이 현저하였다. 2. KC6361 또는 phytol을 단독처리하거나 KC6361, phytol, ALA 상호간 혼합처리하였을 때 Pchlide의 Pchl로의 전환이 촉진되었던 것으로 보아 KC6361에 의한 암조건에서 녹화는 phytol이 일부 축적되어 이들이 Pchlide와 에스테르화되었기 때문으로 보였다.

To better investigate the antioxidative property of thermal treatment yam (Dioscorea batatas DECNE.) in Korea, some established methods were used. 70% Methanol, 70% ethanol and chloroform-methanol (CM, 2:1, v/v) extracts were collected. 70% Methanol extract exhibited stronger antioxidative activity evaluated by ferrous ion chelating activity, NO radical scavenging activity and ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching assays. On the contrary, CM extract was the most effective in inhibiting linoleic acid peroxidation. Yam available in Korea was also analyzed for its bioactive compounds such as lycopene, chlorophyll a, b, tannin, phytic acid and total saponin contents. Total saponin was abundant in thermal treatment, which determined to be $42.52{\pm}1.88mg/g$. Based on the results obtained from this study, thermal treatment yam could be used as natural antioxidant source due to its high antioxidant activity and bioactive compound contents.

방선균 G-0299의 살초특성을 확인하여 천연 제초제 후보소재로서의 가능성을 검토하고자 수행하였다. 선발된 방선균 G-0299는 바랭이에서만 살초력이 발휘되었을 뿐만 아니라 경엽처리 효과, 엽록소 함량 등의 생리 생화학적인 반응에서 광조건에서만 발현되는 독특한 살초특성을 보였다. 방선균 G-0299 배양 여액 농축 시료를 처리했을 때 속효성이며, 고사 또는 백화현상이 발현되는 등의 특징으로부터 광합성 저해 또는 protox 저해 제초제와 비슷한 작용기전을 갖고 있을 가능성을 유추해 볼 수 있겠으나 오직 바랭이에서만 살초력이 발휘되는 특이한 현상을 고려하면 상관성을 설명하기는 곤란하였다. 따라서 천연 제초활성 후보소재 방선균 G-0299의 보다 상세한 살초기 전에 관해서는 추가 연구를 통해 구명되어야 할 것이다.

During austral summer 1998 we examined the impacts of artificial UV-B and solar radiation on chlorophyll a content and fresh weight of four species of Antarctic red algae namely, Georgiella confluens, Iridaea cordata, Pantoneura plocamioides and Porphyra endiviifolium. These subject species were taken in consideration of clear demarcations of their vertical distribution and classified as shallow water group (Iridaea and Porphyra) and deep water group (Georgiella and Pantoneura). When irradiated with artificial UV-B at the irradiance of $2.0Wm^{-2}$ the shallow water inhabitants were much more resistant than the algae from deep water the fresh weight of which was reduced by 40-50% relative to control apart from loss of pigmentation. Direct solar radiation was lethal to the deep water group with a sign of complete bleaching whereas the shallow water group did not show any change in the physiological parameters. We were unable to discriminate difference in the algal sensitivity between UV-filtered and UV-transparent treatments since samples tested were either all unaffected or dead. Spectrophotometric measurements of methanolic extracts revealed a strong absorption peak in the UV range in the shallow water group of algae, Iridaea and Porphyra, but not in the deep water counterparts. Species difference in sensitivity to artificial UV-B and solar radiation is discussed in relation to biochemical and morphological characteristics and the role of the radiation in the algal vertical distribution is suggested from ecological perspective.
