Background : Oxidative stress condition refers as disturbed homeostasis between the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidant system that results in severe pathological conditions. To balance such an oxidative stress condition external antioxidant sources are required. Methods and Results : In view of the above, present study was carried out to investigate the cytoprotective role of the strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa var. Seolhyang) root extract (SRE) against oxidative stress condition stimulated by H2O2 in murine macrophages Raw 264.7 cells and further evaluation of intracellular ROS level, lipid peroxidation and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity as oxidative stress markers. Cytoprotective effect of SRE was evaluated by quantifying survival of macrophages challenged by H2O2 in presence and absence of SRE. Finding suggest a 60.1 ± 7.5% cell survival in H2O2 treated cells as compare to 100% survival in control cells. However, a significant increase in cell survival with 62.7 ± 2.9, 74.2 ± 5.2 and 81.3 ± 3.3% were observed in the cells treated with 2.5, 5, 10 μg/ml of SRE respectively. A reduced ROS level together with inhibition of the lipid peroxidation and MPO activity was observed in the cells treated with SRE as compare to only H2O2 treated cells. Conclusion : Our results signify the potency of SRE to protect the cells from oxidative stress implied by H2O2 and can be used as a source of antioxidant for health benefits.

저에탄올 딸기 발효주 제조를 위한 딸기 과즙의 수율을 향상시키기 위하여 4종의 pectinase를 이용하여 효소처리시 최적조건을 설정하였으며, 발효기간에 따른 이화학적 특성, 에탄올함량, anthocyanin 색소함량의 변화를 조사하였다. 4종의 pectinase를 1,000 ppm의 농도로 30, 60분간 처리하여 수율을 측정한 결과, Viscozyme L 효소를 1,000 ppm에서 30분간 처리시 수율이 81.7%로서 가장 높았으며, 대조구

본 연구는 딸기 품종의 유전적 변이를 DNA 수준에서 비교함으로써 육종의 기초 자료로 활용하기 위하여 딸기 품종 및 계통 50점을 대상으로 AFLP와 SSR 분석을 수행하였다. 총 27종의 AFLP 프라이머와 13종의 SSR 프라이머를 이용여 각각 407개와 42개의 다형성 밴드를 얻었다. 획득된 449개의 다형성 밴드를 이용하여 UPGMA 방식으로 유사도 및 집괴분석을 수행한 결과 유전적 유사도 0.654를 기준으로 6의 그룹으로 분류되었다. 국내 육
