To obtain the information on antioxidant activity by harvesting parts and time in Cudrania tricuspidata Bureau, total phenolic contents, flavonoid contents, superoxide dismutase (SOD) like activity and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenging activity of methanol extracts from Cudrania tricuspidata were investigated. Total phenolic contents was the highest in leaf [30.2~38.8 mg/g dry weight (DW)] and followed by root bark, stem bark, fruit, root except bark and stem except bark. Among harvesting time, total phenolic contents of leaf was the highest as 38.1~38.8 mg/g DW in May and June, and then decreased to October. Root bark harvested in April and May contained 26.6~27.8 mg/g DW total phenolic compounds and total phenolic content fell to a very low values at 1.8 mg/g DW in February. Flavonoid contents was very high in leaf and root bark. Especially, root bark harvested in April had the highest of flavonoid contents as 23.2 mg/g DW. As a result of simple linear regression analysis of total phenolic contents on flavonoid contents according to harvesting parts, it showed a high correlation (p 〈 0.001) with 0.57~0.97 R2 (coefficient of determination). As RC50 value, that was, the concentration of sample required for 50% reduction of DPPH absorbance, was 13.7~20.5 μg/mL in leaf so DPPH radical scavenging activity was very high. But SOD like activity of 1,000 μg extract/mL MeOH was a low value of 0.3~9.2% in all samples.

An effective rapid propagation method was established through in vitro cultures of the medicinal plant, Cudrania tricuspidata. In vitro plantlets were obtained from in vitro germinated seeds. The various levels of cytokinins (BAP, Kinetin and TDZ) were tested on multiple shoot formation from plantlets. BAP (1.0 mg/l) treatment induced highest number of multiple shoots. Single shoot cultures gave higher initial shoot numbers than 5 shoots per culture. Among the various culture media, the shoot elongation was optimal on 2 MS basal medium without growth regulators. The IAA (2.0 mg/l) treatment induced highest number of roots. IBA (2.0 mg/l) treatment more promoted in vitro root growth than other concentrations. Rooted shoots were transferred directly to small pots with an artificial soil and successfully acclimatized.

꾸지뽕나무의 대량번식을 위한 상토와 생장조절제 처리에 따른 삽목 번식에 관한 시험을 수행한 바, 삽목상토는 미풍화토에서 양호하여 숙지삽과 녹지삽에서 각각 56.9%, 62.3%의 발근율을 보였고, 생장조절제는 IBA 100 ppm처리에서 발근이 양호하여 숙지삽에서 57.9%, 녹지삽에서는 89.2%의 발근율을 보였다.
