초미세 분쇄를 하였을 때 입자가 작아질수록 추출수율이 높아져 약 2.5배 높은 추출수율을 나타내었다. 일반 분쇄한 시료 추출물에서 69.8%의 전자공여능 억제효과가 관찰되었고, 미세분쇄와 초미세분쇄 추출물에서는 각각 70.7과 83.8%의 억제효과를 나타내었다. 일반분쇄 추출물과 미세 분쇄 및 초미세분쇄 후 추출물 모두 97% 이상의 높은 ABTS 억제효과를 나타내어 분쇄 방법에 따른 항산화력의 차이는 거의 없었다. 일반 분쇄한 시료 추출물 보다 미세분쇄와 초미세분쇄 추출물에서 더 높은 PF값을 확인하였으며, 50% ethanol 초미세분쇄 추출물에서 1.8 PF로 가장 높은 항산화력을 나타내었다. 미세분쇄와 초미세분쇄 추출물에서는 일반분쇄 추출물에 비해 입자크기가 작아질수록 TBARS 억제율이 높아지며, 물 추출물보다 ethanol 추출물의 효과가 더 우수한 것으로 확인되었다. Xanthin oxidase 저해의 경우 초미세분쇄 후 효소억제 증대 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. Angiotensin converting enzyme 억제활성은 일반 분쇄 추출의 경우 물 추출물에서는 억제활성이 나타나지 않았고, 50% ethanol 추출물에서 24%의 억제율이 확인되었다. 또한, ethanol 추출물의 억제효과가 물 추출물에 비해 상대적으로 우수하였다. 50% ethanol 초미세분쇄 추출물에서 Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli에 대해서 아주 약한 항균효과를 나타내었을 뿐 나머지 추출물에서의 항균 효과는 거의 관찰되지 않았다.

The present study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of threeextracts (hot water, 50% ethanol and mixed solvent;water, ethanol, butylene glycol, propylene glycol) of dried chestnut,chestnut shell, chestnut leaves and dried chestnut leaves obtained from Castanea crenata tree. When conducted DPPH assay,radical scavenging activity of ethanol extract of chestnut shell was the highest with IC50 10.8㎍/mL among four extractsfrom these parts (p<0.05). In additional results by the xanthine oxidase assay, antioxidant activity showed that waterextract of chestnut leaves showed the highest xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity in the tested extracts (p<0.05). Futher-more, extracts of chestnut shell and leaves exhibited no cytotoxicity in RAW 264.7 cells (p<0.05). Also, anti-inflammatoryactivity by NO assay showed LPS-induced NO was significantly inhibited following treatment with extracts of chestnut shelland leaves of 3㎎/mL (p<0.05). These data suggest that extract of chestnut shell have antioxidant and anti-inflamantoryactivity including chestnut leaves. Therefore, it is considered that Castanea crenata research range and selection of functionalmaterial can broaden chestnut shell to other fractions such as chestnut and chestnut leaves.

This study was performed to determine the effects of the blanching condition (immersion ratio 1:15 (w/v) for 3 min at 95oC, and solution containing 1% sodium chloride) and selected forming agents (dextrin DE=10, dextrin DE=20, β-cyclodextrin; each forming agents added 5%) on the phytochemical compounds and quality characteristics of Ligularia fischeri leaves. The moisture was not affected by the forming agent. The color of a, b and chroma values were low in the blanching treatment groups and were significantly lowest with β-cyclodextrin (CD). The polyphenol and flavonoid contents in the blanching treatment groups were higher than those in the non-blanching-treatment group. The ascorbic acid content was higher in the non-blanching-treatment group and was significantly highest in the group treated with dextrin (DE=10) whereas the blanching treatment groups showed lower dehydroascorbic acid content than the non-blanching-treatment group. The water absorption was higher in the non-blanching-treatment group and was significantly highest in the group treated with CD. The water solubility in the blanching treatment groups treated with dextrin (DE=20) and CD was higher than that in the blanching treatment group treated with DE=10. The total chlorophyll and chlorophyll a and b contents were high in the blanching treatment group treated with CD, and for the total carotenoid contents, the same tendency as that seen with the chlorophyll content was observed. With regard to the particle diameter, those in the blanching treatment groups were lower than that in the non-blanching-treatment group and was significantly lowest in the blanching treatment groups treated with DE=20 and CD. The result of SEM observation showed that the spray-dried powders in blanching treatment groups treated with the DE=20 and CD forming agents had uniform particle distribution.

Rice is not only a model plant of monocots but also one of the most important crops all over the world. Despite the importance of leaf shape for achieving effective plant architecture for photosynthesis, little is known about the genetic mechanisms that determine leaf morphological characteristics. Explanation of the genetic basis of the control of leaf shape could be of use in the manipulation of crop traits, leading to increased crop production. Many mutants related to leaf morphology have been identified and classified according to their function in determining leaf morphology. search on the genetics of leaf development has used mutagensis to create loss-of-function mutations that change leaf shape. To understand the molecular mechanism of leaf morphogenesis, we identified a rice mutant gene, which was characterized by a phenotype of narrow leaves. While the mutation resulted in reduced leaf width, no significant morphological changes at the cellular level in leaves were observed, except in bulliform cells. The gene locus guess that it encodes a adenosine kinase, which displays sequence homology with ribokinase pfkB like superfamily. To test function of gene, we cloned gene which have 1140 nucleotides and 379 amino acids. This gene was transcribed in various tissues and was mainly expressed in panicles and leaves. NAL7, NAL1 and SLL1 were found to be downregulated, whereas OsAGO7 and NRL1 were upregulated in the mutant. These findings suggested that there might be a functional association between these genes in regulating leaf development.

Present study was conducted to explore the effect of diet mixtures containing dried leaves of Raphanus sativus and Angelica keiskei powder on ulcerative colitis in mice and antioxidant potential of radish green and Angelica extracts as well. Both dried leaves of Raphanus sativus and Angelica keiskei extracts exhibited higher antioxidant activity due to the presence of polyphenols, favonoids and antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD). Analyzed data indicate that Angelica keiskei extract had higher polyphenol and flavonoid contents compared with radish green, while maximum SOD activity was noted in dried leaves of Raphanus sativus extract Likewise, higher antioxidant (348.72 ± 31.65 μg/mL) and ABTS+ radical scavenging (17%) activities were noted in dried leaves of Raphanus sativus extract compared with Angelica keiskei.

제주도와 남부지방에서는 콩잎을 채소용으로 이용하여 고기와 생선을 쌈사서 먹는데 이용해 왔으며, 주로 지역의 재래종이나 일본에서 도입된 ‘단파흑두’를 재배해왔다. 그러나, 이들은 잎 크기가 균일하지 않아 상품성에 문제가 있었다. 그러므로, 쌈용 콩잎의 채소용 품종개발이 필요하다. 콩잎의 채소용 ‘청엽1호’ 품종이 2009년 식량원에서 개발되었다. ‘청엽1호’는 내도복 다수성 품종인 ‘일품검정콩’과 대립이며 잎이 큰 ‘대황콩’을 교배한 품종이다. ‘청엽1호’는 꽃색이 백색, 검정색 종피, 황색 자엽, 구형의 종자모양, 100립중이 35.8g인 대립종이다. 또한, 콩잎의 채소용 적성으로 개화기가 늦어 채엽기간이 길고 잎이 크고 둥근 난형, 잎색이 연한 녹색, 내도복성, 마디의 수가 많으며, 줄기의 두께가 두꺼워 채엽시 잘 부러지지 않는 특성을 가진다. ‘청엽1호’의 비가림재배시 잎 수량은 헥터당 18.44톤으로 대비품종인 ‘단파흑두’보다 6% 높았다. 콩잎의 기능성 성분으로 이소플라본 함량이 잎 g당 809 ㎍으로 대비품종보다 63% 높았다. 이상과 같이 ‘청엽1호’는 콩잎을 채소용으로 이용하기에 매우 적합한 품종이다.

This study was carried out to investigate solid-state fermentation method using cellulolytic lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum TO-2100 in order to increase piperidine alkaloid contents in mulberry leaves. Piperidine alkaloid, one type of which include 1-deoxynojirimycin (1-DNJ), is known to inhibit α-glycosidase activities. Using this strain, the optimal solid-state fermentation conditions on mulberry leaves powder were found as the following: initial moisture content, temperature and relative humidity were 20%, 30~35℃ and 60 ~ 70%, respectively, and the fermentation time was 72 hrs. The piperidine alkaloid contents in the fermented mulberry leaves were 2.86% on dry powder, which is 7-fold increase from that of non-fermented mulberry leaves. The 1-deoxynojirimycin contents after applying preparative thin layer chromatography were 2.02% on dry powder, which is 8 times higher than that of non-fermented mulberry leaves. α-Glycosidase activities was inhibited by 65.7 ~ 84.7% with 3 ~ 5% treatments of hot-water extracts of the fermented mulberry leaves, compared to 16.2 ~ 40.2% with 3 ~ 5% treatments of hot-water extracts of non-fermented mulberry leaves. Therefore, the results suggest that solid-state fermentation method does indeed increase of piperidine alkaloid contents on mulberry leaves.

This study was carried out to investigate the antibacterial activity against pathogens of acne and the anti-inflammatory effect of 75% ethanol extract and its fractions from the leaves of Prunus sargentii. In the antibacterial activity by the disc diffusion assay, the extract showed the highest effect against Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis in 5 mg/disc. However, the ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest antibacterial activity in 1 mg/disc. On the other hand, the hexane and chloroform fraction showed strong nitric oxide (NO) production inhibitory effect in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated Raw 264.7 cell. In the cell viability of Raw 264.7 by MTT assay, the extract and all fractions were exhibited normal viabilities as nontoxic result. Consequently, the extract from the leaves of P. sargentii and its ethyl acetate fraction could be applicable to functional materials for antibacterial activity related fields. Moreover, the hexane and chloroform fraction could be applicable to candidate materials as anti-inflammatory agent.

Understanding the host defense mechanisms in response to brown leaf spot disease caused by Cochliobolus miyabeanus is very important for production of resistant plant. In this study, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DGE) in conjunction with mass spectrometry was utilized to unravel changes of stress inducible proteins in rice leaves infected with C. miyabeanus. For this purpose, we firstly observed disease developmental process of C. miyabeanus in rice using trypan blue, anilin blue, acid fuchsin staining, and DAB staining for ROS detection and expressional abundance of ROS related proteins in rice leaves inoculated was confirmed by Western blotting. Proteins were extracted by PEG fractionation and their expression patterns were analyzed by 2-DGE and subjected to image analysis using the ImageMaster 6.0 2D Platinum software, resulting in the identification of 86 differentially expressed protein spots with significantly changes (p<0.05) compared with control. MALDI-TOFTOF-MS analysis revealed that 69 proteins including 42 and 27 significantly up- and down-regulated proteins, respectively, were identified. Based on gene ontology analysis, identified proteins were classified according to their functional groups: metabolism (20%), oxygen-detoxifying (13%), protein stress/defense (24%). Thus, these results for the first time suggest that differentially induced proteins may play a key role for understanding host defense mechanisms during rice -C. miyabeanus interaction.

천연염색을 원예치료 프로그램에 활용하기 위한 자료 확보 차원에서 전통적인 청색염료인 대청(Isatis tinctoria)의 열수 추출물 1%액을 이용하여 염색온도와 시간을 달리하여 견과 면직물에 대한 염색성을 조사하였다. 염색 온도는 견직물의 경우 70～80℃에서, 면직물은 80～90℃에서 20분간 침지 염색을 하였으며, 매염은 명반[AlK(SO4)2·12H2O], 황산구리(CuSO4) 및 황산제1철(FeSO4)을 각각 3% 농도로 하여 25±2℃에서 20분간 후매염을 기본으로 하였다. 견과 면직물의 표면색은 R, RP 및 YR 계열로 나타났으며, 견과 면직물 모두 염색시간과 온도의 영향은 적게 받았으나 매염제 종류에 따른 차이가 컸다. 헌터 a값은 견직물의 경우 2.76～21.03, 면직물은 0.09～11.06을 나타냈으며, b값은 견직물의 경우 -0.16～16.50, 면직물은 -0.79～12.16을 나타내었다. 염색포의 ᐃE값은 견직물의 경우 27.23～44.11, 면직물은 11.36～20.98을 나타내었다. 따라서 견직물은 70～80℃, 면직물은 80～90℃에서 20분 정도로 염색을 하되, 매염제를 달리하여 다양한 색상으로 발색을 시키는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다.

This study was investigated to compare the volatile aroma compounds of Synurus deltoides and Aster scaber. The volatile aroma compounds from Synurus deltoides and Aster scaber were extracted by soild-phase microextraction (SPME) methods. S. deltoides had 97 volatile aroma compounds such as including 5-acetyl-1,2-dihydro acenaphtylene (14.63%), β-cubebene (9.31%), caryophyllene (8.97%), β-chamigrene (7.14%), β-selinene (2.71), α-farnesene (2.47%), α-bergamotene (2.26%), β-elemene (1.94%), etc. A. scaber had 84 volatile aroma compounds such as (+)-epi-bicyclosesquiphellandrene (10.38%), terpinolen (10.09%), caryophyllene (6.04%), 8-isopropenyl-1,5-dimethyl-1,5-cyclodeca diene (5.42%), α-himachalene (5.04%), β-thujene (4.37%), β-pinene (4.28%), β-cubebene (3.99%), etc. Conclusively, the main common volatile aroma compounds in S. deltoides and A. scaber leaves were 19 volatile aroma compounds such as caryophyllene, terpinolen, β-cubebene. But the composition and amount of volatile aroma compounds were very different between the two species.

The rate of photosynthesis (A) of leaves from 10 plant species (6 evergreen and 4 deciduous) of the family Fagaceae was measured using a portable photosynthesis analyzer, to examine which species take up CO2 most efficiently. Of the evergreen species, the photosynthetic rate of Castanopsis cuspidata var. sieboldii was highest, and remained above 82.1～106.4 μmol kg-1s-1 from July to November. Of the deciduous species, the photosynthetic rate of Quercus acutissima was higher than that of the other three species, and remained high at 83.5～116.6 μmol kg-1s-1 from September to November. The photosynthetic rate of the 10 species was positively correlated with stomatal conductance (gs) and transpiration rate (E). However, there was no correlation between photosynthetic rate and intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci), although there was a positive correlation just in three species (Q. gilva, Q. acutissima and Q. glauca). These results suggest that the CO2 fixation capacity of C. cuspidata var. sieboldii, an evergreen species, and Q. acutissima, a deciduous species, is significantly higher than that of the other species examined, and that photosynthesis is regulated by both stomatal conductance and transpiration. Therefore, C. cuspidata var. sieboldii and Q. acutissima may be valuable for the evaluation of carbon uptake in urban green spaces as well as in afforested areas.
