Background : This study was carried out to investigate the possibility of cosmetics materials by comparing growth characteristics, photosynthetic rate and major functional components of Rosa multiflora and Perilla frutescens at different altitudes. Methods and Results : This experiment is being carried out in April 2018 in Namwon (500 m above sea level) and Iksan (15 m above sea level) in Jeollabuk-do. The growth characteristics of R. multiflora were investigated at the end of May. Flowers were collected at this time and used as samples for functional analysis. The growth characteristics of P. frutescens were investigated in the middle of August and the ground part was collected at this time and used as a sample for functional analysis. Photosynthetic rates were measured using LCpro+ (ADC, UK). The marker compound were investigated and analyzed using HPLC Alliance e2695 and 2998 PDA detector (Waters, USA). Photosynthetic rate (based on 1,600 μ mole of light intensity) was measured in mid-June as follows. The R. multiflora showed 9.8 μ mole․CO2/㎡/s in Iksan and 7.9 μmole․CO2/㎡/s in Namwon. The P. frutescens showed 15.0 μmole․CO2/㎡/s in Iksan and 8.8 μmole․CO2/㎡/s in Namwon. Overall, Photosynthetic rate was higher in Iksan. As a result of analyzing 18 kinds of marker compound, gallic acid and astragalin were found in R. multiflora, caffeic acid and rosmarinic acid were found in P. frutescens. Gallic acid and Astragalin of R. multiflora showed 5.4 ㎎/g and 28.4 ㎎/g in Iksan and 3.2 ㎎/g and 21.6 ㎎/g in Namwon, respectively. Caffeic acid and rosmarinic acid of P. frutescens were 2.7 ㎎/g and 49.7 ㎎/g in Iksan and 2.5 ㎎/g and 33.6 ㎎/g in Namwon, respectively. Conclusion : Comparing the yield of the harvesting parts by region, both R. multiflora and P. frutescens was higher in Namwon. As a result of quantitative analysis of four detected elements of gallic acid, astragalin, caffeic acid and rosmarinic acid, all four components were high in Iksan. It is considered that this is due to optical environment difference.

The study was performed to investigate basic tree growth and fruit characteristics of ‘Nero’ black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) depending on the different cultivation regions and altitudes in 2014, 2015. Tree growth and change of developmental stages of ‘Nero’ were similar regardless of meteorological environment of the four cultivation regions (Danyang, Okcheon, Yeongdong, and Geumsan) in 2014. Fruit characteristics of ‘Nero’ were significant differences in berry weight and anthocyanin content among the four orchards due to difference in cultivation techniques and relatively wide daily temperature range just before harvest, respectively. Tree growth and change of developmental stages of ‘Nero’ grown at the two orchards with different altitudes appeared to be similar during the successive years 2014 and 2015. Soluble solids content of the berries cultivated at low altitude (117 m) was higher than at high altitude (342 m). Acidity showed an inverse pattern with soluble solids content. Anthocyanin content increased progressively until at the middle of August, 2014-15 and then it decreased. Our results showed that black chokeberry is a species adaptive to the domestic environment as there were no differences in tree growth and change of developmental stages of ‘Nero’. Considering fruit quality of black chokeberry such as soluble solids content, acidity, and anthocyanin content, our results suggest that optimal harvest period of black chokeberry ‘Nero’ is August 8 to 19.

본 연구는 1997년(年)까지 제주도(濟州道) 한라산(漢拏山)에서 고도(高度)에 따른 약용식물(藥用植物)(홍화 : Carthamus tinctorius, 황기 : Astraglus membranaceus, 디기 달리스 : Digitalis purpurea, 레몬 밤 : Melissa officinalis, 딜 : Anethum graveolens, 참당귀 : Angelica gigas, 삼백초 : Saururus chinensis)의 생장(生長), 생태반응(生態反應)을 규명하기 위해서 수행하였던 결과를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1. 고도(高度) 상승(上昇)에 따라 온도(溫度)는 남사면(南斜面)보다는 북사면(北斜面)에서 완만하게 낮아지는 경향(傾向)이었으나, 습도는 높아지는 경향이었다. 2. 생육(生育)에 있어서는 전반적(全般的)으로 남사면(南斜面)보다는 북사면(北斜面)에서 양호하였다. 3. 황기와 디기달리스는 북사면(北斜面)에서 50m(해안지대)에서 바람의 피해를 받아 발아, 생육(生育)과 수량(收量)에 영향(影響)을 주었으며, 참당귀는 약간의 피해는 있었으나, 생육(生育)에는 지장이 없었다. 4. 홍화, 레몬 밤, 딜, 참당귀는 고도(高度) 상승에 따라 전체적으로 생육(生育)은 감소(減少)되는 경향(傾向)을 보였다. 5. 삼백초인 경우는 고도(高度)의 상승에 따라 전체적으로 생육(生育)이 감소(減少)되는 경향(傾向)도 있었지만, 습도(濕度)의 영향(影響)이 커서 700m 고지(高地)에서도 생육(生育)이 왕성하였다.
