Moraceae comprise a large family of sixty genera and neary 1,400 specieses, including important groups such as Artocarpus, Morus, and Ficus. In particular, Morus(mulberry) is a small genus of tree and shrubs found in temperate and subtropical regions of the Northern hemishere and has been widely cultivated in China and Korea, In addition, the root bark of mulberry tree have been used as an antiphlogic, diuretic, and expectorant in white medicine, and the crude drug is known as "Sangbaikpi" in Korea. Recently, some papers have been published reporting the hypotensive effect, antiviral effect, antifungal effect, inhibitory effect of cAMP-phosphodiesterase, and anticancer effect of this extract. Little is known about that Cortex mori could have been an antiallergic effect. The purpose of this study was the development of an antiallergic agent with an antiallergic effect from Cortex mori. For this, several in vivo and in vitro experimental models were used. Results are 1) Cortex mori inhibited the compound 48/80-induced degranu-lation, histamine release and calcium uptake of rat peritoneal mast cells, 2) compound 48/80-induced anaphylactic shock and cutaneous reaction were significantly inhibited by pretreatment of Cortex mori, and 3) Cortex mori inhibited the ovalbumin-induced late astmatic reaction. From the above results it is suggested that Cortex mori has some substances with an antiallergic activity. Our final purpose of this study is to develope the new drug with an antiallergic activity from Cortex mori

고추 탄저병균을 고추 열매에 무상처 분무 접종할 경우, 접종원의 밀도, 습실처리 기간, 발병 온도 등이 열매 상에서 병원균의 포자 발아, 부착기 형성과 발병 정도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 병원균의 접종 밀도와 발병온도는 포자 발아와 부착기 형성에는 유의성 있는 영향을 미치지 못하였지만, 발병도에는 영향을 미쳐서 $1{\times}10^6$개 $mL^{-1}$의 밀도와 $30^{\circ}C$의 발병 온도에서 병 발생이 가장 높았다. 습실처리 기간은 포자 발아, 부착기 형성과 발병도에 모두 영향을 미쳤는데, 처리 기간이 길어질수록 포자 발아율, 부착기 형성율과 발병도가 증가하였다. 하지만 7일 이상 기간이 길어지면, 열매에서 균사의 생장이 활발하여 포장에서 보는 것과 같은 전형적인 병징을 관찰하기가 어려웠다. 병원균 밀도를 $1{\times}10^6$개 $mL^{-1}$로, 습실처리 기간은 5일로, 발병온도는 $30^{\circ}C$로 결정하고 병원균을 무상처 접종과 상처 접종하여 살균제의 효과를 비교하였다. 예방 살균제인 propineb는 병원균 접종 1일 전에 처리한 예방효과가 가장 우수하였으며, 병원균을 접종하고 1일 후에 처리한 치료 처리에서는 무상처 접종의 경우에는 효과가 유지되었지만, 상처 접종 시에는 효과가 급감하였다. 치료 살균제인 tebuconazole은 두 가지의 접종 방법 모두에서 치료 효과가 예방효과보다 우수하였다. 예방과 치료 효과를 모두 지니고 있는 trifloxystrobin은 무상처와 상처 접종 모두에서 예방 및 치료 효과가 우수하였다. 하지만 병원균을 접종하고 5일 후에 살균제를 처리하였을 경우에는 3종의 살균제 모두 효과가 아주 미미 하였다. 본 실험을 통하여 표준화한 검정 방법은 병원균을 무상처와 상처 접종하면서 살균제의 효과를 정확하게 검정할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 살균제의 작용 특성을 조사하는데도 유용하리라고 생각한다.

A rapid radicle assay for prescreening antagonistic bacteria to Phytophthora capsic4 causal agent of Phytophthora blight of pepper was developed. Sixty-four bacterial strains with in vitro antifungal activity selected out of 1,400 strains isolated from soils of Ansung, Chunan, Koyang, and Paju, Korea in 1998 were used for development of the bioassay. Uniformly germinated pepper seeds dipped in bacterial cells for 3 hours were placed near the edges of growing mycelia of P. capsici on water agar containing 0.02% glucose. Five-week-old pepper plants(cv. Nockwang) were inoculated to compare with results of the radicle assay developed in this study. For plant inoculation, pepper seeds were sown in potting mixtures incorporated with the bacterial strains, then transplanted into steam-sterilized soils 3 weeks later. Plants were hole-inoculated with zoospores of P. capsici 2 weeks after transplanting. Disease incidence and severity were determined in radicle and plant assessments, respectively. In radicle assay, six strains, GK-B15, GK-B25, OA-B26, OA-B36, PK-B09, and VK-B14 consistently showed the significant(P=0.05) disease reduction against radicle infection by the fungus, four of which also did in plant assessments. Strains OA-B36 and GK-B15 consistently reduced the fungal infection in both the radicle assay and the plant assessment. Therefore, prescreening strains using the radicle assay developed in this study followed by plant assay could reduce time and labor, and improved the possibility of selecting antagonistic bacteria for control of Phytophthora blight of peppers.

Recently, the importance of management and cultivation of grasses has been increased in Korea. Among these cultural practices, the appropriate control of diseases is considered more important than other cultivation techniques such as fertilization and irrigation. The damages of brown patch and large patch caused by Rhizoctonia spp. and Pythium blight caused by Pythium spp. are serious in the major cultivation area of turfgrass in Korea. Since these diseases are difficult to control by agrochemicals, the damages are very serious if these are occured. The periodic spray of agrochemicals, to protect and control these diseases could make some problems of toxicity and environmental pollution as well as rising of non-target diseases. Therefore, the biological methods to control diseases have been required to decrease problems resulted from overuse of agrochemicals, to conserve natural ecosystem, and to control effectively diseases of grasses in the long period. The number of studies about biological control using antagonistic microorganisms have been increased for last half century. However, the application of biological control method has been very limited. In this study, thirteen isolates of R. cerealis, 8 isolates of R. solani and 3 isolates of Phthyn spp. have been isolated from diseased turfgrass in golf course and grass-culture area that have patch and wilting symptoms of zoysia grass and creeping bentgrass. Isolation frequency of R. cerealis and R. solani was high in especially zoysiagrass, while Pythym spp. was isolated from bent grass at low frequency but showed high pathogenicity. Totally, 205 isolates of soil microorganisms were isolated in this study as primary antagonistic microorganism by Herr's triple agar layer plate and dual culture method using rhizosphere of grasses, soil of crop field as the source of antagonistic microorganisms. Among the 205 isolates, 23 isolates were actinomycetes and 182 isolates were bacteria. All of the actinomycetes were isolated by Herr's method. Antagonistic effect of primary isolated microorganisms was tested for in vitro mycelial growth inhibition against pathogenic fungi isolated from grasses and for inhibition of disease occurrence in 24 well tissue culture plate and pot experiment. Then, four isolated of bacteria which are BG23, BG74, BG136 and BG171 were selected as antagonistic microorganisms against soil-born pathogenic fungi of bentgrass.

Chios Gum Mastic (CGM) is a natural resin extracted from the leaves of Pistacia lentiscus, a plant endemic to the Greek island of Chios. It has been used by traditional healers, and it has antibacterial, antifungal properties, and therapeutic benefits for the skin. The CGM reduces the formation of dental plaque and bacterial growth in oral saliva, and recent studies have demonstrated the role of antioxidant activity of CGM. Although CGM has been widely investigated, its protective effect against oxidative-damage to keratinocytes, as well as the relationship between CGM and autophagy, has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to assess the protective effect of CGM against $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress and to evaluate the autophagic features induced by CGM in human keratinocytes. The pretreatment with CGM significantly reduced apoptosis in $H_2O_2$-exposed HaCaT cells. It promoted the degradation of caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9; and it induced the formation of the processed PARP. The treatment with CGM caused an increase in vesicle formation compared to control group. The level of p62 was reduced and the conversion of LC3-I to LC3-II was increased in CGM treated HaCaT cells. Also, the treatment with CGM increased cleavage of ATG5-ATG12 complex. In summary, CGM helps the cells to survive under stressful conditions by preventing apoptosis and enhancing autophagy. Besides, the present investigation provides evidence to support the antioxidant potential of CGM in vitro and opens up a new horizon for future experiments.

Fifty five species of medicinal plant materials were tested for their antifungal activity in vitro against Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-1 and Trichoderma harzianum to select plant species that can be used to improve the biocontrol efficacy of T. harzianum. Six species were effective against R. solani AG 2-1 but were also antagonistic to T. harzianum, except for Cinnamomum loureirii stem bark (CSB). CSB inhibited mycelial growth of R. solani AG 2-1 by 73.7% but showed an inhibitory effect on mycelial growth of T. harzianum by only 2.2%. Scanning electron microscophs showed that the CSB treatment resulted in deformed R. solani AG 2-1 hyphal cells, and transmission electron microscophs revealed degenerated cell structures such as degenerated cytoplasm and disentangled cell wall and the accumulation of electron-dense inclusions (asterisks) in the CSB treatment. The biocontrol efficacy of radish damping-off increased greatly following the combined treatments of T. harzianum and CSB and the combined treatment increased efficacy from 6.4-23.1% to 37.1-87.3% compared with either treatment alone. CSB did not affect T. harzianum population growth, as it was almost the same in rice-bran peat medium (culture) amended with 0.1% and 1.0% CSB powder as in non-amended medium. The formulation of T. harzianum in rice-bran peat medium amended with CSB powder reduced the severity of radish damping-off by 80.6%, suggesting that T. harzianum and CSB can be formulated as a biocontrol product for the control of R. solani AG 2-1.

Han In-jin (Artemisia iwayomogi Kitamura) and Cham Dang-gwi (Angelica gigas Nakai) exhibit antibacterial, antiparasitic, antifungal, and antiviral properties in vitro. In this study, mixture of the extracts of these two medicinal plants was absorbed on pellets. Thereafter, these pellets were fed to olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus for 12 weeks at laboratory (1^st experiment) and 24 weeks at field test (2^nd experiment), and the immune activity and disease resistance properties of the extracts were examined. It was observed that lysozyme activities of plasma, spleen, and kidney improved after 12 weeks. Furthermore, when the olive flounders were artificially infected with bacterial pathogens, their cumulative mortality decreased in the group that was fed the extracts for 12 weeks compared to that in control group, and the relative percent survival also improved. This study concluded that mixture of Han In-jin and Cham Dang-gwi extracts provides disease resistance in vivo.

일련의 N-phenyl-O-phenylthionocarbamate 유도체을 합성하고, benomyl 및 metalaxyl 등 2종의 침투성 살균제에 대하여 저항성과 감수성을 나타내는 잿빛곰팡이병균(Botrytis cinerea) 및 고추 역병균(Phytophthora capsici)에 대한 항균활성(obs. $pI_{50}$)과 치환기 변화에 따른 구조-활성관계(SAR)를 Free-Wilson방법과 Hansch방법으로 검토하였다. 치환기의 기여도는 O-phenyl group (Y)보다 N-phenyl group(X)이 비교적 높았으며 ortho-치환체(X)들이 다른 치환체들에 비해 양호한 항균활성을 나타내었다. 특히 X-치환기로써 4-cyano 치환체, 2는 0.8ppm에서 저항성 고추역병균(RPC)에 대한 균사생장을 50%저해($pI_{50}=5.50$)하였으며 hydroxyl 치환체, 12와 23는 저항성 및 감수성 잿빛 곰팡이균(RBC, SBC)과 감수성 고추역병균(SPC)에 대하여 대체로 높은 항균활성을 나타내었다. SPC균은 MR상수에 의존적인 항균활성을 나타내었고 나머지 3종의 균에 대한 항균활성은 공통적으로 소수성(${\pi}$ 및 logP)에 의존적이었다. 그리고 RPC 및 SBC균의 항균활성을 향상시키기 위한 조건으로는 전자끌게로써 적정값의 ${\sigma}$상수(${\sigma}_{opt.}=0.32$) 및 F상수($F_{opt.}=0.181$)를 갖는 치환기가 치환되어야 항균활성이 개선될 것으로 예상되었다.

Dermatophytes can invade in keratinized tissues and cause dermatophytosis [1] that rank among the most widespread and common infectious diseases world-wide. Although several systemically and topically administered drugs with activities against these fungi are available, still complete eradication of some of these infections, is difficult and relapses and remissions are often observed [2,3]. In addition, some people are allergic to many of the available drugs which add complications even more. Therefore, the search for novel, selective and more effective therapy is always required and it may help the clinicians to choose the correct treatment for their patients. Non-thermal plasmas primarily generate reactive species and recently have emerged as an efficient tool for medical applications including sterilization. In this study, we evaluated the ability of non-thermal dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma for the inactivation of clinical isolates of Trichophyton genera, Trichophyton mentagrophytes (T. mentagrophytes) and Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum), which cause infections of nails and skin and, are two of the most frequently isolated dermatophytes [4]. Our results showed that DBD plasma has considerable time dependent inactivation potential on both T. mentagrophytes and T. rubrum in-vitro. Furthermore, the mechanisms for plasma based T. mentagrophytes and T. rubrum inactivation and planning for in-vivo future studies will be discussed.
