An efficient system for high frequency plant regeneration was established through investigating various factors such as plant growth regulator combinations, explant types and ages, and addition of $AgNO_3$ influenced on shoot regeneration in Brassica juncea L. cv. BARI sarisha-10. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L NAA (1-naphthaleneacetic acid) and 1 mg/L BA (6-benzyladenine) showed the maximum shoot regeneration frequency (56.67%) among the different combinations of NAA and BA. Explant type, explant age, and addition of $AgNO_3$ also significantly affected shoot regeneration. Of the four type of explants (cotyledon, hypocotyl, root, and leaf explants)- cotyledon explants produced the highest shoot regeneration frequency and hypocotyls explants produced the highest number of shoots per explant, whereas root explants did not produce any shoot. The cotyledonary explants from Four-day-old seedlings showed the maximum shoot regeneration frequency and number of shoots per explant. Shoot regeneration frequency increased significantly by adding $AgNO_3$ to the medium. Two mg/L $AgNO_3$ appeared to be the best for shoot regeneration with the highest shoot regeneration frequency (86.67%) and number of shoots per explant (7.5 shoots). Considerable variation in shoot regeneration from cotyledonay explants was observed within the B. juncea L. genotypes. The shoot regeneration frequency ranged from 47.78% for cv. Shambol to 91.11% for cv. Rai-5. In terms of the number of shoots produced per explant, B. juncea L. cv. Daulot showed the maximum efficiency. MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L NAA showed the highest frequency of rooting. The regenerated plantlets were transferred to pot soil and grown to maturity in the greenhouse. All plants were fertile and morphologically identical with the source plants.

This research investigated the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of hot air-dried red mustard (Brassica juncea L.) leaf (HR) and freeze-dried red mustard leaf (FR). Crude protein content was highest in FR, and crude fat and carbohydrate contents were highest in HR. However, moisture and crude ash contents were not significantly different between the two drying methods. Total free sugars were higher in HR compared with FR. Sucrose, fructose, and glucose were the major free sugars in both HR and FR. Contents of essential and non-essential amino acids were higher in HR compared with FR. The major organic acid of FR was malic acid, and the major organic acid of HR was malic acid. The contents of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids were higher in HR than in FR. Total mineral contents were higher in FR (10,187.22 mg%) compared with HR (9,815.80 mg%). Major minerals were K, Ca, and Na in the two drying methods. The contents of vitamins C and E in HR were higher than those in FR. Total polyphenol contents showed no significant difference between the two methods. However, total flavonoid contents in HR were higher than in FR. The $IC_{50}$ values of FR and HR in ABTS assay were 0.89 mg/mL and 0.65 mg/mL, respectively. The results of all experiments suggest that HR and FR can be natural candidates as a rich source of antioxidants for further chemical investigation.

This study was conducted to develop a method to change the color of traditional Dongchimi using natural dyes to meet changing consumer demands. It was intended to improve the manufacturing process ability for color Dongchimi, and the best optimum extraction solvent and method from the natural dyes were proven to be confirmed and valid. The extraction process was evaluated using different solvents including distilled water, 20% ethyl alcohol, and 1% citric acid, and the quantity of the extracted anthocyanin was then measured based on the absorbance. The greatest absorbance was observed when 1% citric acid was used. Based on these findings, it would be most efficient to allow the traditional Dongchimi to produce citric acid naturally instead of using artificial additives during its production. Celosia cristata L. was extracted in its largest quantity when reacted with 20% ethyl alcohol. Therefore, instead of applying Celosia cristata L. to Dongchimi as the sub-ingredient during the preparatory stage, it will be more efficient to use Celosia cristata L. as the fractional ingredient in order to first extraction.

New types of cytoplasmic male sterility in Brassica species would be very useful for the production of F$_1$, hybrid seeds. Leaves and stems of rapid cycling stock of B.juncea (CrGC4-3) containing Anand CMS were used as experimental materials for plant regeneration from protoplast culture. Very high plant regeneration rate (85%) was found in the Kao & Michayluk medium supplemented with 2 mg/L zeatin, 0.5 mg/L BAP, and 1 mg/L NAA when only leaf, not stem, segments were cultured. Protoplasts were isolated from leaves using mixtures of enzymes (1% Cellulycin, 0.5% Macerozyme) in 0.4 M mannitol and 50 mM $CaCl_2$.$2H_2$O. Mcrocalli induced from protoplasts were transferred to the shoot regeneration medium containing 2 mg/L BAP, 2 mg/L zeatin, and 0.5 mg/L NAA. After 60 days of initial protoplast culture, regenerated plantlets were obtained, acclimatized, transplanted into the pots, and grown up to the flowering stage.

우라늄으로 오염된 지하수를 정화하기 위하여 해바라기(Sunflower; Helianthus annuus L.), 강낭콩(Bean; Phaseolus vulgaris var.), 그리고 갓(Indian mustard; Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.)을 이용한 수생법(Rhizofiltration)의 우라늄 제거 효율을 규명하기위한 실내 실험을 실시하였다. 안정우라늄 표준 용액을 사용하여 초기 농도를 30 ${\mu}g$/L와 80 ${\mu}g$/L로 적정한 인공오염지하수를 대상으로 72시간 수생법을 실시하여 일정 시간 간격으로 오염지하수의 우라늄농도를 측정함으로써 시간에 따른 식물의 우라늄 제거 효율을 계산하였다. 해바라기의 경우 수생법 72시간 내에 인공오염수 내 우라늄의 81%와 89%가 제거되었으며, 강낭콩은 72%와 80% 제거율을 나타내었고, 갓의 경우에는 80%와 60%가 제거되어 수생법의 우라늄 제거 효율이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다. 초기 우라늄 농도가 500 ${\mu}g$/L 이상(미국 EPA 수질허용한계농도인 30 ${\mu}g$/L 보다 18배 이상)되는 인공오염수를 대상으로 수생법을 실시한 결과 해바라기, 강낭콩, 갓의 경우 각각 97%, 70%, 77%의 높은 제거 효율을 나타내어 우라늄으로 심각하게 오염된 지하수의 경우에도 수생법을 적용할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 인공 오염수의 pH에 따른 수생법의 우라늄 제거 효율 변화 실험 결과, 오염수의 pH가 증가할 수 록 우라늄 제거 효율은 감소하였으며, 갓의 경우 pH 3에서 pH 9로 증가함에 따라 제거 효율은 83%에서 42%로 감소하였다. 실험 후 식물에 농축된 우라늄량을 습식분해법을 이용하여 부위별로 측정한 결과, 식물로 이동한 우라늄의 99%가 뿌리에 농축되어 있는 것으로 나타나, 수생법을 적용한 후 성장한 오염식물을 처리하는 경우 농축이 심한 뿌리 부분만을 후처리함으로써 복원 비용과 시간을 절감할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 우라늄 농도가 81.4 ${\mu}g$/L인 대전지역에 위치한 천정 지하수를 대상으로 수생법을 실시한 결과, 해바라기의 경우 인공오염지하수 실험 결과와 비슷한 제거 효율이 95.2%인 것으로 나타나, 친환경 정화방법인 수생법에 의한 우라늄 오염지하수 처리 방법이 실제 오염 현장에서 효과적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

This study was aimed to select useful mutants of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and leaf mustard (Brassica juncea L.), the seeds of three lines S-14, S-27, and S-28 were treated with gamma-ray and EMS. The optimum ranges of gamma-ray dose and EMS concentration to enlarge the characteristic morphological variations were also separately investigated. The survival rates of S-28 only linearly decreased with increasing the gamma-ray dose. The overall growth parameters decreased of gamma-ray dose in all three lines of S-14, S-27, and S-28. The reduction dosage 50 of gamma-ray was identified as 1,200 Gy for S-14 leaf mustard, while those of S-27 and S-28 rapeseed lines were appeared as same 1,000 Gy. The emergence rates of S-14 and S-27 showed no significant differences by EMS treatment, while the growth of all three lines were significantly decreased. The reduction concentration 50 in S-14 could not be determined, demonstrating that this leaf mustard line is presumably insensitive to mutagenic EMS, while those in S-27 and S-28 were identified as 3.0 and 2.5%, respectively, showing that these rapeseed lines possess higher sensitivity to EMS than S-14. Various morphological characteristics of $M_1$ generation obtained from mutagen treatment were elaborately investigated for further maintenance of $M_2$ generation. In $M_2$ generation variants showing short stem, yellow color in seed coat, chlorophyll deficiencies in leaf or pod, abnormal flower color were selected as potentially useful mutants for breeding.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Obesity is a global health problem of significant importance which increases mortality. In place of anti-obesity drugs, natural products are being developed as alternative therapeutic materials. In this study, we investigated the effect of Brassica juncea L. leaf extract (BLE) on fat deposition and lipid profiles in high-fat, high-cholesterol diet (HFC)-induced obese rats. MATERIALS/METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups (n = 8 per group) according to diet: normal diet group (ND), high-fat/high-cholesterol diet group (HFC), HFC with 3% BLE diet group (HFC-A1), and HFC with 5% BLE diet group (HFC-A2). Each group was fed for 6 weeks. Rat body and adipose tissue weights, serum biochemical parameters, and tissue lipid contents were determined. The expression levels of mRNA and proteins involved in lipid and cholesterol metabolism were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis, respectively. RESULTS: The HFC-A2 group showed significantly lower body weight gain and food efficiency ratio than the HFC group. BLE supplementation caused mesenteric, epididymal, and total adipose tissue weights to decrease. The serum levels of triglyceride, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly reduced, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly increased in rats fed BLE. These results were related to lower glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, acetyl-coA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase mRNA expression, and to higher expression of the cholesterol $7{\alpha}$-hydroxylase and low density lipoprotein-receptor, as well as increased protein levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\alpha}$. Histological analysis of the liver revealed decreased lipid droplets in HFC rats treated with BLE. CONCLUSIONS: Supplementation of HFC with 3% or 5% BLE inhibited body fat accumulation, improved lipid profiles, and modulated lipogenesis- and cholesterol metabolism-related gene and protein expression.

This study was conducted to provide basic data on the antioxidant activity, inhibition of adipocyte differentiation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production of a mixture of Brassica juncea extract (BJE) and fermented black rice fraction (BRF). We investigated the total phenol content, total flavonoid content, antioxidant effects (DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS radical scavenging, reducing power, FRAP and ORAC assay) and anti-obesity activity of the mixture in 3T3-L1 cells. Our results showed that the total phenol and flavonoid content increased with increasing BRF mixture ratio. The antioxidant activity increased as the BRF mixture ratio increased. In addition, BJE and BRF mixtures did not show any cytotoxicity during the 3T3-L1 differentiation period. During adipocyte differentiation, BJE and BRF mixtures significantly inhibited lipid accumulation and ROS production compared to the control group. These results warrant further experiments to develop an anti-obesity functional food using a mixture of BJE and BRF.
