The present study was designed to evaluate in vitro anti-proliferative potential of extracts from four Indian medicinal plants, namely Anogeissus latifolia, Terminalia bellerica, Acacia catechu and Moringa oleiferna. Their cytotoxicity was tested in nine human cancer cell lines, including cancers of lung (A549), prostate (PC-3), breast (T47D and MCF-7), colon (HCT-16 and Colo-205) and leukemia (THP-1, HL-60 and K562) by using SRB and MTT assays. The findings showed that the selected plant extracts inhibited the cell proliferation of nine human cancer cell lines in a concentration dependent manner. The extracts inhibited cell viability of leukemia HL-60 and K562 cells by blocking G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Interestingly, A. catechu extract at $100{\mu}g/mL$ induced G2/M arrest in K562 cells. DNA fragmentation analysis displayed the appearance of a smear pattern of cell necrosis upon agarose gel electrophoresis after incubation of HL-60 cells with these extracts for 24h.

Three macrophytes species, that are, Phragmites australis, Zizania latifolia and Typha angustifolia were grown in mono culture in order to compare growth (relative biomass increase rate), variation of photosynthetic pigment (total chlorophyll, Chl a, Chl b and Chl a/Chl b) and effectiveness of nutriment removal in 15%o NaCl-salt solution or processed-leachate (salinity 19.6%o) from sanitary landfill sites. The relative biomass increase rate of p. australis was significantly higher than Z. latifolia and T. angustifolia. In the case of processed-leachate treatment, the relative biomass increase rates of above-part, rhizome and root of P. australiswere 178 %, 148 % and 157 %, respectively. Also, in 15%o NaCl-salt solution treatment, the relative biomass increase rates of P. australis increased as follows; 161 % (above-part), 183 % (rhizome) and 112 % (root). Total chlorophyll contents increased significantly in the leaves of P. australis and Z. latifolia grown in 15%o NaCl-salt solution and processed-leachate. Among three macrophytes, P. australis was evaluated as most effective macrophyte for the biological retreatment of processed-leachate from sanitary landfill sites.

The optimal environmental ranges of the establishment phase for the distribution of Zizania latifolia and Typha angustifolia was determined to develop a set of basic data and criteria of planting substrate for the restoration, conservation and management of wetlands. The study was carried at 17 wetlands in the Kyunggi-do and Gyeongsangnam-do region where inland wetlands place intensively in June, 2005. Total 127 quadrats were sets in growing areas of Zizania latifolia and Typha angustifolia. $NO_3-N$, K, Ca, Mg and Na in the water variables and soil texture, LOI (loss on ignition), soil pH and soil conductivity in the soil variables were analyzed. The optimal range of water depth for the distribution of Zizania latifolia was -5~39cm, $NO_3-N$ content of water was <0.01~0.19ppm, K content of water was 0.1~5.9ppm, Ca content of water 0.5~44.9ppm, Mg content of water was 1.2~11.9ppm, Na content of water 3.4~29.9ppm, water conductivity was 48~450${\mu}S$/cm, respectively. The optimal range of LOI for the distribution of Zizania latifolia was 1.7~11.9%, soil conductivity was 25.5~149.9${\mu}S$/cm, respectively. The optimal range of water depth for the distribution of Typha angustifolia was -20~24cm, $NO_3-N$ content of water was <0.01~0.19ppm, K content of water was 0.2~2.9ppm, Ca content of water 0.6~19.9ppm, Mg content of water was 0.2~5.9ppm, Na content of water 3.5~19.9ppm, water conductivity was 96~450${\mu}S$/cm, respectively. The optimal range of LOI for the distribution of Typha angustifolia was 2.4~15.9%, soil conductivity was 17.6~149.9${\mu}S$/cm, respectively. The optimal soil texture were loam, silt loam and sandy loam in both species. The lower water depth (-20~40cm) is appropriate to increase biodiversity in both species dominated community and it is better to maintain water depth of 40~100cm for water purification. Both species appear frequently in the soil with high silt content.

꽃송이버섯(Sparassis crispa)은 배양과정에서 항균물질인 sparassol, methyl orsellinate (ScI)와 methyl-dihydroxy-methoxy-methylbenzoate (ScII) 등의 화합물을 생산하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 이 중 ScI와 ScII는 sparassol보다 높은 항균활성을 나타내는 것으로 보고되었다. 본 연구에서는 꽃송이버섯의 액체배양 시 균사체가 생산하는 항균 물질인 methy1 orsellinate와 sparassol을 분리하여 NMR과 ESI-MS 분석을 통해 그 구조를 동정하였으며, HPLC 분석을 통해 methy1 orsellinate와 sparassol의 retention time은 각각 15분과 31분임을 확인하였다. S. latifolia의 화합물 생산 양상은 크게 4가지로 대별되며, 균주에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 기주식물과의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 일본잎갈나무와 잣나무에서 분리된 균주는 서로 다른 생산 양상을 보인 반면, 소나무와 전나무에서 분리된 균주는 동일한 생산 양상을 나타냈다. 균체량과 화합물 생산량과의 상관관계는 나타나지 않았다. Methy1 orsellinate 생산량은 낙엽송에서 분리된 KFRI 645 균주가 0.170 mg/ml로 가장 높았으며, sparassol 생산량은 소나무에서 분리된 KFRI 747 균주가 0.004 mg/ml로 가장 높았다. 이러한 결과를 통해 꽃송이버섯 균주들의 methyl orsellinate와 sparassol의 생산 양상은 기주식물의 종류에 따라 다르다는 사실을 확인하였다.

정수식물인 줄(Zizania latifolia)의 생장에 따른 저토로부터의 무기영양소 흡수와 저토의 산화환원전위(Eh) 및 pH와 같은 물리, 화학적 특성과 $NH_4^+$와 $NO_3^-$의 질소형 그리고 유동성 인$(PO_4^{3-})$, 착화합물 인, 인회석 인 및 유기 인의 변화를 화분 재배실험을 통하여 조사하였다. 화분재배 실험에서 저토의 Eh는 식재 후에 식물구의 환원층이 무식물구의 것보다 높았다. 환원층의 $NH_4^+-N$ 함량은 식물구가 무식물구보다 적었고, $NO_3^--N$ 함량은 그것과 반대의 양상으로 나타났다. 형태별 인의 비율은 식재 전에 유기 인이 높았고, 식재 후에 착화합물 인이 높음으로써, 전자가 분해되어 후자로 변형됨이 확인되었다. 상층수와 침출수의 $NH_4^+-N$ 및 $PO_4^{3-}-P$ 농도는 무식물구보다 식물구에서 낮았다. 침출수의 $NO_3^--N$ 농도는 무식물구보다 식물구에서 높았고, 이는 뿌리로부터의 산소공급이 저토를 산화시켰기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다.

The effectiveness of three kinds of enzymes (chitinase, ${\beta}$-glucuronidase, and lysing enzyme complex), employed as elicitors to enhance the ${\beta}$-glucan content in the sawdust-based cultivation of cauliflower mushroom (Sparassis latifolia), was examined. The elicitors were applied to the cauliflower mushroom after primordium formation, by spraying the enzyme solutions at three different levels on the sawdust-based medium. Mycelial growth was fully accomplished by the treatments, but the metabolic process during the growth of fruiting bodies was affected. The application of a lysing enzyme resulted in an increase in the ${\beta}$-glucan concentration by up to 31% compared to that of the control. However, the treatment resulted in a decrease in mushroom yield, which necessitated the need to evaluate its economic efficiency. Although we still need to develop a more efficient way for using elicitors to enhance functional metabolites in mushroom cultivation, the results indicate that the elicitation technique can be applied in the cultivation of medicinal/edible mushrooms.

The contents of valepotriates, valerenic acid and their derivatives as mild sedative and antispamodic principles in two Korean valerian roots (Valeriana officinalis var. latifolia Miq. and V. fauriei var. dasycarpa Hara) were investigated and were compared with those in European valerian roots(Valeriana officinalis L.) by BPLC method. Among valepotriate compounds, valtrate was detected as a small amount in two Korean valerian roots, and iso-valtrate and dihydrovaltrate were detected as a trace amount. Among valerenic acid and their derivatives, valerenic acid were contained from 0.9∼3.46 mg/g base on dry weight. Over the vegetation periods investigated, the content of valepotriates remained more or less constant, hut the content of valerenic acid reached its maximum in 3-year old age. The compound isolated from Korean V. officinalis var. latifolia was elucidated as valerenic acid by spectroscopic data such as GC-MS, $^1$H-NMR and $^{13}$ C-NMR, and comparison of GC retention time with that of authentic compound.

A flavone glycoside was isolated from the leaves of Betula platyphylla var. latifolia and characterized as $4, 6-Dimethoxy-5-hydroxyflavone-7-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside(pectolinarigenin-7-O-{\beta}-D-glucopy-ranoside)$ by method of chemical and NMR spectral analysis. $^13C-^1H$ long range coupling was confirmative for determination of its substituted position. In connection with this study, 6-C-Glucosylnalingenin and 6-C-Glucosylaromadendrin were confirmed its structures using this technique.
