This study was to examine the shelf life and qualities of castellas added with mixture of Morus alba root bark (MA), Ecklonia stolonifera (ES), and Curcuma aromatica (CA) extracts (MECE). The result of total microbial cell count showed that castellas with MECE were increasing storage time, especially at the rate of MA : ES : CA＝0.75:0.75:0.5, and was reduced about 3 log cycle as compared to that of control. Also castellas with MECE were shown to have the highest antioxidant effect by Rancimat method. In the color, redness of castellas diminished with increasing amounts of MECE in castellas while conversely, lightness and yellowness increased. In sensory evaluation, the castella containing MA 0.25%, ES 0.25% and CA 0.125% were preferred than the control. These results suggest that the addition of MA 0.25%, ES 0.25% and CA 0.125% in castella positively improved the preservation and development of quality.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of silkworm powder, mulberry leaves and mulberry root bark administered to S.D. rat on gastrointestinal function. Plot containing ten percent sericultural products(silkworm powder, mulberry leaves and mulberry root bark) was supplied with S.D. rat. The food efficiency ratio(FER) of S.D. rat fed with sericultural products were 0.1486~0.1573. The transit time also were 512.5~574.0 minutes, and transit speed were 25.05~29.11 mm/min. The pH of S.D. rat's feces fed with sericultural products were 5.95~6.72. The daily amount of S.D. rat's feces were 4.12~5.42g. As above results, sericultural products was evaluated to improve the function of S.D. rat's gastrointestine.

The ethanol extract of root bark of Morus alba strongly inhibited the Gram positive bacteria like Streptococcus sp., Lactococcus garvieae and Staphylococcus sp., but weakly the Gram negative bacteria like Listonella anguillarm and Edwardsiella tarda. It was more effective in liquid medium than in solid medium. The minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) of the extract in liquid medium was 19.8 and 790~1185 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ for the Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, respectively. The extract concentration, at which the growth was totally inhibited, was 67.2~403.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ for the Gram positive bacteria but it was as high as 1185 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ for L. anguillarum and almost ineffective against E. tarda. For diet supplementation of the extract, effective soaking duration was 3 minutes. The fish diet soaked in the extract inhibited the growth of all the tested Gram positive strains, but not the Gram negative strains. The relationship between the weight of fish diet and absorption of the extract by the fish diet was Y=7.5757X + 4.6962($R^2$ = 0.9998).

A platelet activating factor(PAF) antagonist ginkgolides produced from Ginkgo biloba are well known for their potential usage in septic shock and other PAF related diseases. Even though they are extracted from the leaves and on occasion the root bark, the exact biosynthetic site and pathway have not proved yet. In order to locate the enzymes involved and elucidate the biosynthetic site of the compounds, embryo-derived aseptic intact plantlet and plantlet without root have been cultured on 0.3% active carbon-containing solid Murashige and Skoog's medium. The leaves from the six-week-old normal plantlet contained similar amount of ginkgolide B to that of outdoor plant leaves, while the plantlets without root had less than 30% of the ginkgolide B compared to the in vitro intact plantlets. The results suggest that the ginkgolides may be synthesized in the root and transported to the aerial part.

In July 2020, wilting symptoms were observed among adzuki bean plants (Vigna angularis var. angularis L.) in the fields in Yeosu, Korea. Infected plants showed yellowing of leaves, browning inside the stems, splitting of stem bark, and wilting. When these plants were uprooted, their roots were found to be brown. The fungal pathogens NC20-737, NC20-738, and NC20-739 were isolated from symptomatic stem and root tissues. These pathogens were identified as a Fusarium fujikuroi species complex based on their morphological characteristics. Molecular identification was performed using the DNA sequence of translation elongation factor 1 alpha and the RNA polymerase II second largest subunit regions. The nucleotide sequences of all three isolates were similar to the F. fujikuroi reference isolates NRRL 13566 and NRRL 5538 of the National Centre for Biotechnology Information GenBank. A pathogenicity test was conducted by the soil inoculation method with cornmeal sand inoculum. Approximately 3 weeks after inoculation, symptoms were observed only in the inoculated adzuki bean seedlings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of Fusarium root rot caused by F. fujikuroi in adzuki beans, both in Korea and worldwide.

This research was conducted to investigate the influence of various levels of fused superphosphate as pre-planting fertilizer on the growth of red-leaf lettuce and changes in the chemical properties of the soil solution in three root media, namely coir-dust plus expanded rice hull (8:2, v/v; CD+ERH), carbonized rice hull (6:4; CD+CRH), or ground and aged pine bark (8:2; CD+GAPB). The amounts of fused superphosphate (FSP) incorporated into the three root media during formulation were controlled from 0 to $6.0g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in $1.5g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ increments. The root media containing fertilizers were packed into 300 mL plastic pots and seedlings of red-leaf lettuce at the 3rd leaf stage were transplanted. After transplanting, the crops were fed with a solution of neutral fertilizer ($100mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$). The growth of red-leaf lettuce was investigated 5 weeks after transplanting and soil solutions were extracted and analyzed every week for pH, EC, and concentrations of macro-nutrients. The elevation of application rates of FSP in the three root media resulted in better growth, and the crops grown in CD+ERH and CD+GRPB had greater fresh and dry weights than those in CD+CRH when compared among the treatments of equal amounts of FSP. The pH and $PO_4{^{-3}}$ concentrations in the soil solution of CD+CRH at 3 weeks after transplant were in the ranges of 4.0 to 4.8 and 20 to $100mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, respectively. These were lower pH and higher $PO_4{^{-3}}$ concentrations than those in CD+ERH and CD+GAPB. The $K^+$ concentrations were higher in CD+CRH than those in the other two root media, and the elevation of FSP application rates resulted in higher $Ca^{+2}$, $Mg^{+2}$ and $SO_4{^{-2}}$ concentrations in soil solution of the three root media. The $NO_3$-N concentrations in soil solution rose continuously during crop cultivation, implying that the leaching percentage was elevated. The soil solution EC varied, showing the same tendencies as the $NO_3$-N concentrations. The above results indicated that the CD+ERH and CD+GRPB media performed better than CD+CRH, and optimum application rates of FSP in the three root media were 4.5 to $6.0g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ for pot cultivation of red-leaf lettuce.

Two glycosides, assumed to be one of the potential active principles, is isolate from the root bark of Acanthopanax koreanu Nakai, identified to be acanthoside D, $C_{34}H_{46}O_{18}$, mp $242^{\circ}C$, and syringo side, $C_{17}H_{24}O_{9}$ mp $192^{\circ}C$. Acanthoside D has been found to have s-GPT, s-GOT lowering effect, BSP-retention rate and survival rate in the toxic state through the bio-pharmacological experiments.

Acanthopanax species (Araliaceae) has been traditionally used as analgesics, stimulants of immune system, and replenishment of body functions. Acanthopanax divaricatus var. albeofructus is a indigenous plant in Korea. The anti-lipid peroxidation activities of the loaves and root bark extracts of A divaricatus var. albeofructus were determined. Activities of MeOH extracts were examined in vitro and in vivo with control group intoxicated by carbon tetrachloride. Both extracts showed significant inhibitory effects on the lipid peroxidation.
