This study was conducted to evaluate effects of dietary herbal extracts mixturetMiracle" included Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Rehmanniae Radix, Cnidii Rhizoma, Glycyrrhizae Radix, Schizandrae Fructus, Plantago asiatica and Dioscoreae Radix) on the productivities of lactating sowsand growth performance and hematological characteristics of piglets. Twenty seven sows (Yorkshire ${\times}$ Landrace ${\times}$ Duroc, 1 to 3 parities) were used in a 21 day old trial. Dietary treatments included 1) CON (control; basal diet), 2) HPMO.l (basal diet + herbal plant mixture 0.1 %) and 3) HPMO.2 (basal diet + herbal plant mixture 0.2 %). Backfat thickness losses from farrowing to weaning was decreased in HPM treatmentscompared with control(linear effect, P $\leq$ 0.003). ADFI was decreased in sows fed herbal plant mixture(linear effect, P < 0.05). Also, treatments of dietary herbal plant mixture reduced day of return to estrus compared with control(linear effect, P < 0.05). Energy digestibility in HPM treatments were higher than control(linear effect, P $\leq$ 0.05). In piglets, weight gain(P > 0.05) and survivability(P> 0.05) after weaning werenot affected by treatments. No statistical differences were found(P> 0.05) forhematological characteristics in piglets. In conclusion, dietary herbal plant mixture reduces backfat thickness losses and day of return to estrus and improves energy digestibility in lactating sows.

Definitive identification of original plant species is important for standardizing herbal medicine. The herbal medicines Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix (Baekshuoh in Korean and Beishuwu in Chinese) and Polygoni Multiflori Radix (Hashuoh in Korean and Heshuwu in Chinese) are often misidentified in the Korean herbal market due to morphological similarities and similar names. Therefore, we developed a reliable molecular marker for the identification of Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix and Polygoni Multiflori Radix. We used random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of three plant species, Polygoni multiflorum, Cynanchum wilfordii, and Cynanchum auriculatum, to obtain several species-specific RAPD amplicons. From nucleotide sequences of these RAPD amplicons, we developed six sequence characterized amplification region (SCAR) markers for distinguishing Polygoni Multiflori Radix and Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix. Furthermore, we established SCAR markers for the simultaneous discrimination of the three species within a single reaction by using multiplex-PCR. These SCAR markers can be used for efficient and rapid authentication of these closely related species, and will be useful for preventing the distribution of adulterants.

Objectives: To summarize and make a reference number of herbal plant-derived antioxidant researches worldwide. Methods: We surveyed all papers of antioxidant-focused studies using plants in PubMed database as "herbal plant AND antioxidant" of Default Tag "Title". The type of materials used in the studies, formation of experiments, frequency of herbal plants studied and their actions, and main study subjects were analyzed. Results: The number of studies on herbal plant-related antioxidant effects have increased worldwide since 2000. Studies have been performed using mainly single plant and single compounds for medical disorders such as immunity, heart/blood, liver, and central nerve functions. The list of plants frequently includes SalviamiltiorrhizaBge.,GinkgobilobaL., ScutellabaicalensisGeorgi.,and so on. Most of these plants have strong effects against oxidative stress and also against free radicals and increase the activities of antioxidant enzymes. Conclusion: This study produced an overview of previous research on antioxidant-focused herbal plants. This result will provide useful information for the field of Korean traditional medicine for the development of drugs related to antioxidants.

Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is one of the most destructive viruses in tomato plant. TSWV-GT from the leaves of tomato plant showing top wilt symptom in 2015 was used to screen the tolerance in tomato cultivars. Among 51 cultivars commercially available in Korea, 'TY Smartsama' and 'Marnolia' showed tolerance to the virus in bioassay. Three cvs. 'Titichal', 'TY Sensq', and 'Venekia' were moderate tolerance.
