This study was to evaluate the biological activity of flavor components extracted from E. ciliata and E. splendens in order to survey the possibility applicable to tobacco and food industry. Flavor components were extracted with dividing into three parts; essential oil, absolute, oleoresin. In the nonenzymatic lipid peroxidation system, the inhibition rate($\%$) of essential oil were $67.3\;\pm\;20.7\%,\;58.1\;\pm\;19.3\%$ at the concentration of 50 ${\mu}g/mL$ of E. ciliata and E. splendens, respectively. The inhibition rate($\%$) of the oleoresin in E. ciliata was higher than one in E. splendens. In the enzymatic lipid peroxidation system, the inhibition rate($\%$) of essential oil and oleoresin was$14.28\;\pm\;2.38\%,\;and\;65.93\;\pm\;0.01\%,\;and\;was\;22.58\;\pm\;2.84\%\;and\;40.73\;pm\;6.04\%$. The oleoresin of two species were showed above $90\%$ of the inhibition rate($90\%$) against autooxidative lipid peroxidation system. $EC_{50}$ values in neutral red uptake assays 24 h of exposure times were $23.3\;{\mu}g/mL,\;341.0\;{\mu}g/mL\;and\;17.2\;{\mu}g/mL$ in essential oil, absolute and oleoresin from E. ciliata respectively, and were $46.4\;{\mu}g/mL,\;681.7\;{\mu}g/mL\;17.6\;{\mu}g/mL$ in three extractions of E. splendens. Oleoresin of two species showed high rate in the cytotoxic effect by neutral red uptake assay. Absolute and oleoresin did not show antibiotic and mutagenic activity. On the contrary, essential oil with over 500 ug/plate showed antibiotic and mutagenic activity in Ames test. Essential oil and oleoresin have a prolongating effect the ciliostasis of rat trachea. This results indicate that flavor components extracted from E. ciliata and E. splendens can be considered to be toxicological safe and to be the possibility applicable the cigarette, food and drug industry as a flavor for expectoration.

308 isolates of Ampelomyces quisqualis were isolated from powdery mildew fungi of 73 plant species in Korea from 1994 to 2004. Among them, the new mycohosts and new plant hosts of A. quisqualis were found in 13 species of powdery mildew fungi in 38 species of plant. The new hosts of A. quisqualis were Erysiphe heraclei on Heracleum moellenderfii; E. hommae on Elsholtzia splendins; E. glycines on Glycine max; E. lespedezae on Lespedeza biclor; E. pileae on Pilea mongolica; E. pisi on Phaseolus radiatus; E. polygoni on Rumex aquatica and Rumex crispus; Golovinomyce artemisiae on Artemisia princeps var. orientalis; G. cichoracearum on Rudbeckia laciniata var. hortensis; G. rubiae on Rubia akane; Oidium sp. on Valeriana fauriei, Lactuca indica var. laciniata, Carpesium triste var. manshuricum, Aster ageratoides var. turczaninow, Lufa cylindrica, Ixeris demtats Nakai, Phlox paniculata, Bidens bipinnata and Pathenocissus tricuspidata; Microsphaera alphitoides on Quercus aliema, M. pseudolonicerae on Cocculus trilobos; Podosphaera sp. on Ligustrum obtusifolium; Sphaerotheca aphanisi on Fragaria ananassa; S. balsaminae on Impatiens textori; S. fusca on Cucurbita pepo, Cucurbita maxima, Ligularia fischeri, Solanum melongena, Lagenaria leucantha, Cucumis melo var. makuwa, Acalypha australis, Cosmos bipinnatus and Aster scaber; Uncinuliella simulans on Rosa muliflora and Uncinula australiana on Lagerstroemia indica.

This study was conducted to determine the antioxidant potentials of some available plants to source alternate antioxidants and antibiotics. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by determining the antioxidant activity reducing powers and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activities of extracts from some local edible native plants. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the extracts was found to have been 0.41-94.84%. The Elsholtziasplendens NAKAI extract ($85^{\circ}C$, ethanol, accelerated solvent extraction) showed the highest level of antioxidant activity. Eight samples of plant extracts were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities against three microflora (Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans) using disc diffusion assay. Two samples (Geranium krameri FR. Et SAV. and Cleyera japonica Thunb.) had much more intensive antimicrobial activities than the control. However, their DPPH free radical scavenging activity levels were only 14.50 and 13.85, respectively. It is suggested that they could be used as natural preservatives against bacterial contamination in cosmetics and foods, in place of the common synthetic preservatives currently used.

78 Korean native plants, which have not been used in general, were selected to be used as outdoor pot plants for three seasons, from spring to autumn. Plants, which were explored in about 30 places of Korea from 2007 to 2009, were transplanted to or sown in white plastic general pots ($27.5cm({\Phi}){\times}27.5cm(H)$) and hanging pots($28cm({\Phi}){\times}13cm(H)$) and grown in the garden of 36''56' latitude(N) and 127''09' longitude(E). 38 species(13 families and 29 genus) were suitable for outdoor general pots, and 46 species(28 families and 43 genus) for outdoor hanging pots. Among 38 plants for outdoor general pots, the principal species, which were easy to grow and have not been used in general, were 16 species, Metaplexis japonica in Asclepiadaceae, Phyteuma japonicum in Campanulaceae, Artemisia capillaris, Artemisia princeps, and Artemisia selengensis in Compositae, Carex humilis in Cyperaceae, Pennisetum alopecuroides, and Setaria viridis in Gramineae, Agastache rugosa, Glechoma hederacea, Elsholtzia splendens, Isodon inflexus, and Mosla punctulata in Labiatae, Vicia villosa in Leguminosae, Piper kadzura in Piperaceae, and Rosa multiflora var. multiflora in Rosaceae. Among 46 plants for outdoor hanging pots, the principal species, which were easy to grow and have not been used in general, were 17 species, Metaplexis japonica in Asclepiadaceae, Ixeris stonlonifera in Compositae, Calystegia japonica and Quamoclit angulata in Convolvulaceae, Dioscorea batatas in Dioscoreaceae, Glechoma hederacea and Thymus quinquecostatus in Labiatae, Trifolium lupinaster for. alpinus and Vicia villosa in Leguminosae, Menispermum dauricum in Menispermaceae, Piper kadzura in Piperaceae, Clematis mandshurica for. lancifolia in Ranunculoideae, Rosa multiflora var. multiflora and Potentilla fragarioides var. major in Rosaceae, Paederia scandens and Rubia akane in Rubiaceae, and Parthenocissus tricuspidata in Vitaceae.

간무봉(555.8m)은 강원도 인제군 남면에 위치하고 있다. 북한강의 지류인 소양강으로 대부분 둘러싸여 있으며 북서쪽에 봉화산(874.4m), 북동쪽에 기룡산(940.4m)과 이어진다. 현재까지 간무봉을 대상으로 한 식물상 조사 이력은 없었으나, DMZ 일원에 위치하는 산이기 때문에 DMZ의 식물상 연구를 위한 기초 자료로 보전하고 탐색하는 의미가 있다. 현지조사는 2018년 4월부터 10월까지 총 6회 수행하였다. 간무봉에는 굴참나무, 신갈나무, 소나무가 우점하고 있는 형태였으며, 조사 결과 관속식물은 73과 175속 211종 3아종 27변종 4품종으로 총 245분류군이 조사되었다. 그 중 양치식물은 고비, 고사리삼, 십자고사리, 퍼진고사리 4분류군이고, 나자식물은 소나무, 일본잎갈나무 2분류군, 피자식물은 노랑제비꽃, 은방울꽃, 꽃향유 등 205분류군이었다. 이는 우리나라 관속식물 4,494분류군(국립수목원, 2016)의 5.45%에 해당한다. 간무봉에서 확인한 특산식물은 진범, 할미밀망, 갈퀴아재비, 병꽃나무 등 6 분류군이며, 희귀식물은 미치광이풀(LC), 말나리(LC) 2 분류군 이외에 VU 이상에 해당하는 희귀식물은 발견하지 못하였다. 그리고 침입외래식물(국립수목원, 2016)의 경우 미국자리공, 수박풀, 미국쑥부쟁이, 단풍잎돼지풀 등 17 분류군이었다. 간무봉 주변에는 경작지, 군부대 훈련장소 등이 있으며, 서쪽 사면은 이미 벌목이 많이 된 상태이며, 북동쪽도 마을과 더불어 경작지로 개간되어 있다. 따라서 주변의 외부에서 가해지는 인위적인 간섭이 많은 상태라고 볼 수 있으며, 이미 유입된 단풍잎돼지풀 등 생태계교란종에 의한 변화에도 유의할 필요가 있다.
