In this study, the change in the mold opening stroke of important functional parts according to the 20, 50, 80, and 100% increase in the injection speed of a hydraulic 150 ton hydraulic injection molding machine was studied to verify the accuracy of the injection speed and mold opening stroke and the reproducibility of the standard deviation. The null and alternative hypotheses were confirmed by conducting hypothesis verification according to the experimental condition change using the experimental design method.

Background : The Schizonepeta which is characterized by short growth period is used for the pedicel as a medicinal plant. Its main ingredients are essential oil, monoterpenoid, and flavonoid. Major effects include fever, pain, anti-inflammation, and anti-allergy. There are no varieties developed so far, and it is necessary to develop standard varieties to supply domestically good varieties. In this study, the growth and yield characteristics of the genetic resources collected for cultivating good-quality varieties were tested. Three strains were classified into early, medium, and late life. Methods and Results : The research was carried out in the test packaging of the Medicinal Resources Research Institute (Hamyang) in Gyeongnam province. It was harvested in late May, early June, and mid June by flowering season. The harvest time was mid June, late June, mid July, late July, mid August, and late August. Flowering, growth characteristics and yield were investigated. Growth characteristics showed a tendency to increase with the delay of flowering and harvesting time, such as plant height, leaf length etc. As the flowering time and harvesting time were delayed, the number of trees increased. The selected early line showed 89.4 ㎝ in plant length, 38.3 g grain weight, medium line 69.5 ㎝, 61.0 g, late line 136.4 ㎝, 111.2 g. Conclusion : When the cultivars are selected for the selected strains, it is expected that the cultivars with high physiological activity characteristics will be able to develop the cultivars as high quality varieties and high yield varieties.

Background : Schizonepeta tenuifolia Kitagawa is a herbaceous plant affiliated to labiate. It ha s many oil components which has antimicrobial activity for health with limonene, menthone, p ulegone, piperitenone, schizonepetoside A, schizonepetoside C, spatulenol. The planting area of which is comparatively small than other medicine crop as 5 ha area and 15MT in the nation. This experiment was focused on the storage characteristics for searching better condition. It is very useful for making oriental medicine. It is needed for Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) certification. It is one of certification condition for farmers. Many medicinal plants have almos t been no their storage condition for GAP. Methods and Results : This experiment was carried out to conform optimal condition for S. tenuifolia Kitagawa. There were two kinds of treatment for storage test. One is temperature. The other is time period. The temperature treatments are room temperature and 4℃. The storage periods are divided into four times. Their times continued three month until nine month. There used polyethylene for packing materials. This experiment was investigated to storage condition about moisture, ash, bacteria, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, mold and chromaticity. The contents value of moisture and ash are under standard of permission as 9.7 and 6.2 respectively. There were almost no significance about test microorganism in the storage temperature condition. There was statistical significance on the bacteria according to storage period. In terms of stroage temperature and period interaction, there was statistical significance on the Staphylococcus aureus and mold. Conclusion : The effect of storage treatments on S. tenuifolia Kitagawa mainly focused to time period treatment and time period-temperature interaction treatments, there were differences along with time period of storage about the bacteria and interaction with storage temperature and period about Staphylococcus aureus and mold.

Background : Schizonepeta tenuifolia Kitagawa is a herbaceous plant affiliated to labiate. It has many oil components which has antimicrobial activity for health with limonene, menthone, pulegon e, piperitenone, schizonepetoside A, schizonepetoside C, spatulenol. The planting area of which is com paratively small than other medicine crop as 5ha area and 15MT in the nation. The purpose of this study was to figure out the cause of characteristics on the planting life in accordance wit h the planting date used plugs. Plug plants are very useful for transplanting. It gives well-mana gement effects to the farmer such as time saving, convenience of planting, plant health, and ma ximum potential state during the raised time. Methods and Results : The number of treatment for planting date was five. Those are early May, middle May, late May, early July and middle July. The interval of the planting date was 10 days. And the raising seeding period was 30 days. During the raising seeding period, in late July treatment the length of plant and the stem diameter were the highest respectively. The number of stem was also the most in late July. In the planting period, the length of plant and the stem diameter were the highest at early May. There were no differences in the number of stem per plant. The length of ear and the width of ear were the highest at the early July. The number of ear per plant was the highest in the early May as 768.7. In the respect of yield, the weight of fresh body at early May was the highest as 587g per plant. The next higher weight of fresh body was middle May as 530.0g per plant than that of other planting date. Conclusion : The effect of planting date on the growth and the yield of Schizonepeta tenuifolia Kitagawa mainly focused to early May treatment. The earlier planting treatment was the better for planting it in this study.

Schizonepeta spike (Korean name "Hyung-Gae") has been used for oriental medicinal purposes in Korea, China and Japan. In this study, twenty six "Hyung-Gae" samples were collected including nine certified Schizonepeta tenuifolia plants, and seventeen commercially marketed "Hyung-Gae" products. Chloroplast trnL-F and rDNA ITS regions of the "Hyung-Gae" samples were sequenced and used to identify whether the samples were genuine S. tenuifolia or not. As the result, the trnL-F and ITS sequences of all the "Hyung-Gae" samples were shown to be identical and it was proven that commercially available medicinal products "Hyung-Gae" are genuine S. tenuifolia. Phylogenetic tree of S. tenuifolia using the trnL-F sequences was constructed and compared with phylogenetic tree using ITS of rDNA region sequences. In these tree, S. tenuifolia was affiliated in the family Lamiaceae. It is proven that trnL-F and ITS phylogenetic trees are useful to study taxonomic position of S. tenuifolia.

형개의 잎, 줄기 및 화수의 정유함율 및 정유구성성분을 생육시기별로 비교 분석하여 조사한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 형개의 정유함율은 잎이 줄기나 화수에 비하여 월등히 높았으며 영양성장기부터 개화 후반결관까지 생육이 진전됨에 따라 잎과 줄기의 정유함율은 증가하였다. 2. 정유성분의 구성은 잎과 화수의 경우는 d-menthone과 l-pulegone이 56～71%의 함유 비율을 나타내었으며, 줄기는 21～26%의 함유비율을 보이고 잎과 화수에 거의 나타나지 않는 두 물질이 확인 되었다. 3. 잎의 정유성분구성은 생육후기로 갈수록 d-menthone은 생육초기에 많았다가 후기에 증가하는 반면에 l-pulegone은 점차 감소하여 두가지 주정유성분의 함유비율이 서로 반대로 나타났다. 4. 형개의 정유 성분 평가를 위하여 주요 성분의 생약 약리학적인 검토가 필요하다.
