In this study, stiffness evaluation was conducted on the main member, front cross member, and rear cross member, which are three components of sub-frame for SUVs (sports utility vehicles), through mode analysis. As for the design variables used in the analysis, the maximum frequency was examined by varying the width and height of each of the three parts into four types. Of course, the weight at this time is minimized, and the mode is set as a constraint that only bending occurs and no distortion occurs. As a result of the analysis, the member affecting the 1st mode was the rear cross member, and the member having the greatest influence on the 2nd mode was the front cross member. In addition, the member with the greatest influence on the 3rd mode appeared as the rear cross member, indicating that this part had the greatest effect on the bending stiffness.

Background : Tetraploid plants are bigger in the size of fruits, leaves, stems, and roots than diploid plants due to bigger cells attributed to chromosome multiplication. The advantage of tetraploid plants includes breakdown of self-incompatibility and increase of disease resistance. This study was carried out to gain tetraploid resources for breeding of new boxthorn varieties having pest resistance, higher yield, and self-compatibility. Methods and Results : Tetraploid lines and maternal varieties used in this study were C0148-10 and C0412-1 from Cheongyang-jaerae, M0148-94 and M0148-120 from Myongan, B0148-43 and B0148-78 from Bulro, D0148-62 and D0148-72 from Cheongdae, and Y0148-2 and Y0148-24 from Youngha. For organic acid composition of tetraploid lines and matrenal varieties, malic acid was highest as 1.47 – 4.6 ㎎/g in fruit, and citric acid and succinic acid were highest in leaf as 2.67 – 4.08 ㎎/g and 4.28 – 6.00 ㎎/g. Total organic acid content in root ranged from 1.78 to 3.23 ㎎/g, lower than in fruit and leaf. Of 11 fatty acids composing the boxthorn fruit, linoleic acid was highest as 25.36 – 50.33 ㎎/g. For leaf, linolenic acid was highest as 4.39 – 8.77 ㎎/g. Linoleic acid was highest as 1.65 – 6.98 ㎎/g of all fatty acids in root. 19 free amino acids were analyzed. Average content of essential amino acids in fruit was 6.64% and lysine was highest as 1.57%. Non-essential amino acid content was 8.26% and serine was highest as 2.72% of all non-essential amino acids in fruit. D0148-62 was highest in the total amino acid and the essential amino acid as 23.58% and 10.19%, respectively. Total amino acid content in leaf was 26.49%. Essential amino acid was 12.12% and leucine was highest as 2.08%. Non-essential amino acid was 14.37% and serine was highest as 4.61%. Total amino acid content in root was 13.25%. Essential amino acid was 6.66% and arginine was highest as 2.58%. Non-essential amino acid was 6.59% and serine was highest as 2.60%. Conclusion : Organic acid content increased in fruit of tetraploid lines and lines induced from Cheongyang-jaerae, Myongan, and Cheongdae were higher in contents of linoleic acid, oleic acid and palmitic acid, resulted in total fatty acid increasing. This shows several induced tetraploid boxthorn lines are very useful resources in breeding new varieties.

For the investigation of possibility as a useful functional material, different parts of Lythrum salicaria L. harvested at four growth stages were studied in the aspect of bleeding characteristics, chemical composition and in vitro activity. Weights (g/plant) of L. salicaria plant parts were high in order to stem 〉 leaf 〉 flower 〉 root at the best growth time. Crude lipids (3.59~4.30%) and crude proteins (14.7~23.5%) of L. salicaria leaves were the highest among the other plant parts showed from 0.08~3.54%, and 4.0~21.9%, respectively. Free sugars (2.9~4.2%) and crude ash (11.9~14.8) of leaves also showed the highest value. Free radical scavenging activities of L. salicaria root on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl showed from 43.5 μg/ml to 47.6 μg/ml as IC50 which were followed by those of flower, leaf, and stem. Root of L. salicaria tested at 100 μg/ml also showed the most efficient inhibitory effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells. Cell viability of the plant parts tested by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazoliumbromide (MTT) assay was high in order to flower, leaf, root, and stem. Total phenol content measured as tannic acid equivalent showed the highest value in flower. In conclusion, among the plant parts, especially leaf of L. salicaria, was rich in the chemical components, and showed efficient antioxidant/inhibitory activity on free radical and NO production, and was expected to be a functional material candidate.

4년생 의성작약을 재료로 하여 작약의 주 이용부위인 약근 외에 뇌두, 줄기, 잎과 같은 작약 식물체 각 부위로 시료를 구분하고, 또한 작약근의 경우 관행적 법제시 박피를 통해 제거되는 코르크층과 코르크층의 유 무에 따라 유피근 및 거피근으로 구분하여 각 시료에 함유된 작약 주요 생리활성 성분의 함량 분포를 검토한 결과 작약 식물체 부위별 paeoniflorin, albiflorin 및 phenolic compounds의 각 함량은 뇌두가 뿌리보다 높은 양상을 나타내었다. 또한 기능성 물질로 평가되는 gallic acld 및 benzoic acid는 작약의 잎과 줄기에도 상당히 많은 양이 존재하였고, 특히 잎에는 paeoniflorln도 약 2.3%가 존재하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 현재까지 번식용으로만 이용되어온 작약의 뇌두도 약재로서의 이용 가능성을 체계적으로 검토할 필요가 있을 것이며, 작약의 잎 및 줄기도 gallic acid 및 그 유도체들의 source가 될 수 있으므로 이들 부위의 이용성도 체계적으로 검토되어야 할 것이다. 한편 작약근에 함유된 유용 생리활성 성분들은 목부와 껍질부위의 코르크층에 함께 존재하였다 특히 albiflorin, gallic acid, benzoic acid 및 (-)-epicatechin 성분은 코르크층에 많이 존재하였고, 목부에 더 많은 양이 존재하는 성분은 paeoniflorin, (+)-taxifolin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside 및 (+)-catechin이었다. 결국 작약근 이용시 코르크층을 벗기면 albiflorin을 포함한 유용성분의 손실이 발생되고, phenol 성 물질의 분비로 외면의 갈변이 유도되므로 상품의 질을 떨어뜨리는 원인이 된다. 그러므로 작약근의 이용 시 거피를 하지 않는 것이 유용성분의 활용 면에서도 유리하고, 수치작업에 대한 노력이 감소되므로 경제적 측면에서도 유리한 것으로 평가된다.
