The germination of Lactuca sativa seeds was significantly inhibited by the water extract of the fresh leaves of Pulsatilla koreana N. including abundant ranunculin. Germination inhibitory activity increased in a dose-dependantly. Protoanemonin, produced from ranunculin by enzymatic action during maceration process of leaves, was proved to be the active principle with inhibitory activity was above 90% at concentration of 1 mg/ml.

본 연구에서는 발아기간 및 부위별 벼 추출물에 대한 다양한 효소활성 저해효과를 조사하였다. 발아기간은 6일까지로 하였고, 발아된 벼는 왕겨+싹 부위와 현미로 나누어 80% ethanol로 환류 추출하였다. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase 저해활성은 왕겨+싹 추출물에서 발아 전 26.32%에서 발아 5일차 39.38%로 증가하였으며, ${\alpha}$-amylase 저해활성은 왕겨+싹 추출물에서 발아 전 59.98%에서 발아 5일차 75.32%로 증가하였고, DPP-4 저해활성 또한 왕겨+싹 추출물에서 발아 전 38.80%에서 발아 5일차 47.77%로 증가하여 발아에 의해 효소활성 저해가 증가하였다. ACE 저해활성은 왕겨+싹 추출물에서 가장 높았으며 발아에 의해 증가하였다. Xanthine oxidase 저해활성은 발아가 진행됨에 따라 감소하였다. Lipase 저해활성은 발아 4일차 왕겨+싹 추출물이 36.78%로 무발아 31.72%에 비하여 증가하였다. 본 연구결과 벼를 발아시킬 경우 왕겨+싹에서 성인병 관료 효소를 억제하는 성분이 증가함을 알 수 있었으며, 추후에 어떠한 성분에 의한 것인지에 대한 연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

한국산 벼의 발아 전과 후의 부위별 및 추출용매별 항산화성분 및 활성변화를 살펴보았다. 발아 전과 후의 벼를 왕겨, 현미 및 싹으로 분리하고 각각 열수 및 70% 에탄올을 이용하여 추출하였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량은 현미 물추출물에서 발아 전 1.67에서 발아 후 5.84 mg/g으로 증가하였으며, DPPH 라디칼소거능은 벼 에탄올추출물에서 발아 전 22.95 %에서 발아 후 31.32%로 증가하였지만 왕겨와 현미 부분에서는 발아 후 감소하였다. 총 항산화력은 에탄올추출물에서 발아 전과 후에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나 싹 부분에서는 4.41 mg AA eq/g으로 높게 나타났다. 환원력은 에탄올 추출물 현미에서 발아 전 0.32에서 발아 후 0.45로 증가하였다. ACE 저해활성은 왕겨에서 가장 높았으며 발아 후 증가하였다. 본 연구결과 발아 시 항산화활성이 증가하는 원인에 대한 추후 연구가 필요하다 판단된다.

After a mixed carbohydrate diet, inhibition of ${\alpha}$-amylase and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase involved in the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates can significantly decrease the postprandial increase of blood glucose level. In the course of screening these useful enzyme inhibitors, we selected five kinds of bean, using an in-vitro enzyme inhibition assay method. To evaluate the effect of germination process on the functionality of the bean, we investigated the inhibitory activities of the water extracts of non-germinated bean and germinated bean against ${\alpha}$-amylase and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase, relevant to postprandial hyperglycemia. We also investigated the oxygen radical absorbance capacity(ORAC), total phenolics content, and postprandial blood glucose lowering effect in rats(Sprague-Dawley rat model). Most germinated beans showed significantly higher ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity, compared with non-germinated beans. Among germinated beans, Glycine max had the highest ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity(53.3%). The water extract of germinated Phaseolus vulgaris L. had the highest ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibitory activity(95.1%), followed by Glycine max(58.7%), and Glycine max L. Merr(54.1%). Furthermore, the five germinated beans also showed high antioxidant activities in ORAC assay. Results suggested that the germination process may improve and enhance the anti-hyperglycemia potential and antioxidant activity of the bean.

This study analyzed the some of the physiological activities of 70% ethanol extracts of specialty rough rice ('Goami2', 'Keunnunbyeo', and 'Heugkwangbyeo' rough rice cultivars) before and after germination. The physiological activities of the extracts were analyzed for their inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation, hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging activity, superoxide dismutase-like activity, xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity, and nitrite scavenging effects. The most active rough rice cultivar was 'Heugkwangbyeo' and germinated 'Heugkwangbyeo' rough rice was more effective than ungerminated rough rice, having higher inhibition activity of linoleic acid peroxidation (1.2-fold), hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging activity (1.4-fold), superoxide dismutase-like activity (1.2-fold), and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity (1.1-fold). The nitrite scavenging effect was increased after germination (2.1-fold) and decreased as pH increased. According to the results obtained in this study, 70% ethanol extracts from germinated 'Heugkwangbyeo' rough rice can be used for industrial applications such as the functional food materials.

To evaluate allelopathic effect of volatile chemicals and phytohormones, seed germination and seedling growth test of Lactuca sativa have performed in laboratory experiments. Among used chemicals terpienen-4-ol was the most inhibitory to seed germination of lettuce. ABA and GA inhibited seed germination at $5{\times}10^{-6}M$ concentration but promoted germination at $2.5{\times}10^{-5}M$ and $5{\times}10^{-5}M$. ABA and GA alleviated volatile chemical-induced inhibition of seed germination and seedling elongation of lettuce.

Compositae plants are known to contain biologically active substances that are allelopathic to agricultural crops as well as weed species. Aqueous extracts from leaves of Xanthium occidentale were assayed against alfalfa (Medicago sativa) to determine their allelopathic effects, and the result showed that the extracts applied onto filter paper significantly inhibited seed germination as well as root growth of alfalfa. Untreated seeds germinated in 60h, but extract concentrations greater than 30g $\textrm{L}^{-1}$ delayed seed germination. The extracts significantly inhibited seed germination of alfalfa, and $\beta$-amylase activity of alfalfa and barley seeds during 24-36 hours after treatment. Aqueous extracts of 40 g $\textrm{L}^{-1}$ from X. occidentale were completely inhibited the hypocotyl and root growth of alfalfa. Aqueous leaf extracts showed the highest inhibitory effect and followed by root and stem extracts. Early seedling growth of both alfalfa and barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) was significantly reduced by methanol extracts. By means of high-performance liquid chromatography, chlorogenic acid and trans-cinnamic acid were quantified as the highest amounts from water and EtOAc fractions, respectively. BuOH and EtOAc fractions of X. occidentale reduced alfalfa root growth more than did hexane and water fractions. The findings of the bioassays for aqueous or methanol extracts reflected that the inhibitory effect of extract was closely related to the level of responsible allelochemicals found in plant extracts.

This paper deals with the study on comparative efficacy and in vitro activity of cow urine and cow dung for controlling root rot disease of cucumber caused by Fusarium solani f. sp. cucurbitae Snyder & Hansen following slide germination and mycelial growth inhibition tests. Results showed that both germination of conidia and the percentage inhibition of mycelial growth decreased or suppressed and varied greatly with respect to different hour and days of incubation and kind of bio-matters. In between two bio-matters cow urine was found more effective than that of cow dung in conidial germination. No germination of conidia was recorded after one hour of incubation in any medium whereas in cow urine germination of conidia was not also observed even after 2 hours of incubation. After 7 hours of incubation out of 200 conidia of F. solani f. sp. cucurbitae, 28 in cow urine and 64 in cow dung were germinated while in control a total germinated conidia was 185. In case of percentage inhibition of conidial germination the highest percentage(100%) was recorded in cow urine after 2 hours of incubation followed by 3 hours(96.0%), 4 hours(91.0%) and 6 hours(89.4%). During the test on inhibition of mycelial growth, the highest percentage(62.8%) was recorded in cow urine potato dextrose agar(CUPDA) medium tested after 4 days of incubation, followed by 3 days(60.5%), 5 days(56.5%) and 2 days(55.0%). In this test cow dung potato dextrose agar(CDPDA) had less efficacy in suppression of the percentage inhibition of mycelial growth.

The inhibitory activity of ent-norsecurinine alkaloid was evaluated against spore germination of some plant pathogenic fungi(Curvularia maculans, Curvularia species, C. palliscens, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Colletotrichum species, Afternaria solani, A. brassicae, Fusarium udum, Helminthosporium echinoclova and H. penniseti). It inhibited spore germination of all the test fungi. C. maculans, C. species, and C. palliscens were the most sensitive as complete inhibition of spore germination was observed at 1000 ppm. A. solani was not inhibited by this chemical.

고압처리가 발아벼 추출물의 성인병관련 예방효과에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 발아기간 및 고압처리 시간에 따른 효소저해활성을 살펴보았다. 발아기간은 6일로 하였고, 30 MPa의 압력 하에서 24시간 및 48시간 동안 처리하였다. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase 저해활성은 발아초기에 대조구에 비해 고압처리 시 높은 범위의 저해활성을 나타내었으며, ${\alpha}$-amylase 저해활성은 발아기간 및 고압처리시간이 증가함에 따라 유의적으로 증가하였다. ACE 및 lipase 저해활성은 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase 저해활성과 유사하였으며, 고압처리가 대조구보다 높은 저해활성을 나타내었으며, 48시간 고압처리한 2일차 발아벼에서 가장 높은 저해활성을 나타내었다. Xanthine oxidase 저해활성은 발아초기에는 대조구보다 고압처리시 높았지만 발아가 진행됨에 따라 감소하였다. 이상의 결과로 부터 발아와 고압처리를 병행한 벼는 무발아 및 발아벼에 비하여 활용가치가 높을 것으로 판단되며, 성인병 예방을 위한 기능성식품소재로써 이용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
