The purpose of this study was to determine the content of polyphenols and flavonoids, vitamin C, and antioxidant activity for the extract from the Deodeok sprout. To accomplish this, the Deodeok sprout whole (CLS-W), above ground part (leaf, stem, CLS-L), and root (CLS-R) were individually extracted using 70% ethanol. The highest levels of total polyphenols and total flavonoids were observed in the Deodeok sprout extract CLS-L2. Similarly, antioxidant activities resulting in radical scavenging activities increased significantly in the extract of CLS-L2. In conclusion, these results indicate that Deodeok sprouts can be used as a viable, new natural antioxidant source.

Serpentines soil have high values of magnesium and low values of calcium, and are usually deficient in N and P, but rich in iron, Ni, silicates. We investigated serpentine soil properties and measured the content of nutrient elements and heavy metals in shoots and root of plant species which were in common at serpentine and non-serpentine areas in Andong, Korea. The soils showed higher pH value above 6.9. The contents of Ni, Cr, Fe and Mg of serpentine soils exhibited 77, 27, 5.5 and 12.5 times more than in non-serpentine soils, respectively. The content of Na was almost same but K was two times higher in non-serpentine soil, compared with serpentine soil. The contents of nutrient element such as K, Ca, Na and P in serpentine plants did not show conspicuous differences with non-serpentine plants. On the other hand, the concentrations of Ni, Cr, Fe, Mg and Mg/Ca were very high in plant on serpentine area. The all plant species collected at the serpentine site were bodenvag plants, which are not restricted to a specific type of substrate. By the plant species and parts of plant tissues, the absorption levels and patterns showed high variation and were species-specific. Carex lanceolata, Lysimachia clethroides and Cynanchum paniculatum contained much chromium and Eupatorium chinense and C. paniculatum exhibited high contents of Ni. In leaf tissue, C. lanceolata, Rubus parvifolius, Festuca ovina, Quercus serrata, and L. clethroides took comparatively large amount of Cr in serpentine area. E. chinense contained large amount of Ni, Cr and Fe in a leaf tissue. The stem of Galium verum, Juniperus rigida included high amount of Cr, Ni and Fe. And C. paniculatum absorbed large amount of Ni and Cr in the stem.

An experiment was conducted using a [6, 6-$^2H$]glucose isotope dilution method to determine the effects of plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) on plasma glucose metabolism in sheep taken from a thermoneutral environment and exposed to a hot environment. The sheep were fed either mixed hay (MH) of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) and reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) at a 60:40 ratio or MH and plantain (PL) at a 9:1 ratio in a crossover design for each 23-day period. In both dietary treatments the metabolizable energy (ME) and crude protein intake were designed to be isoenergetic and isoproteinous at around maintenance level. The sheep were taken from a thermoneutral environment ($20^{\circ}C$, 70% RH) and exposed to a hot environment ($28-30^{\circ}C$, 70% RH) for 5 days. The isotope dilution method using a single injection of [6, 6-$^2H$]glucose was performed on the $18^{th}$ day of the thermoneutral environment and on the $5^{th}$ day of heat exposure. Plasma glucose pool size was numerically lower (p = 0.26) during heat exposure on both dietary treatments, and numerically higher (p = 0.13) on the MH diet irrespective of environmental temperature. Plasma NEFA concentration (p = 0.01) and glucose turnover rate (p = 0.03) were decreased during heat exposure, but remained similar between diets. It could be concluded that, although no positive impact of plantain on glucose metabolism was found under the present experimental conditions (plantain constituted only 10% of basal diet), plantain herb is an alternative to MH for rearing sheep in both thermoneutral and hot environments.

This paper reported the establishment of mass production system of adventitious roots of Codonopsis lanceolata through shake flask and bioreactor culture. Induction of adventitious roots was started from the explants of leaf, stem and root on 1/2 strength Murashing and Skoog (MS) solid medium. Stem segments were the best explants for induction of adventitious roots compared to leaf and root segments. Among the different auxins tested (NAA, IBA and IAA), number of adventitious root per explant was highest on solid medium with 1.0 mg/L IBA, and produced $9.9{\pm}1.2$ roots per explant. However, growth of adventitious roots was fast in the presence of IBA at low concentration (0.1 mg/L). In shake flask culture, maximum production of adventitious roots (fresh weight) was obtained in half-strength MS medium compared to full-strength and one-third MS medium. When the adventitious roots produced in shake-flask culture were transferred to 5 L air-lift bioreactor, 16 times of fresh weight increase was gained after one month of culture. These results indicate that this protocol for the production of C. lanceolata adventitious roots can be applied to large scale culture for practical application.

In the flora of Korea, Carex L. is one of the most species-rich genera. Among nearly 157 Carex taxa, less than 30 have had chromosome numbers reported. We report the meiotic chromosome numbers of eight Carex taxa from Korean populations, which include the first count for C. accrescens Ohwi (n = 37_II) and the first chromosome investigations of Korea populations for three taxa: C. bostrychostigma Maxim. (n = 22_II), C. lanceolata Boott (n = 36_II), and C. paxii Kuk. (n = 38_II). In most species, chromosome counts observed in the study are included in the variation ranges of previous chromosome numbers. However, C. bostrychostigma Maxim. (n = 22_II) and C. planiculmis Kom. (n = 29_II) are assigned new chromosome numbers. Carex is known to have holocentric chromosomes, lacking visible primary constrictions and exhibiting great variance in its chromosome number. Further investigations of the diversity of Carex chromosomes will provide basic information with which to understand the high species diversity of the genus.

Field study on the sporogenesis periods of 16 red algae growing at the intertidal zone of Daesongri was conducted from April 1987 to March 1988, obseuing the occurence of carposporic and tetrasporic fronds. The period of Gloiopeltis furcata was in spring and summer; that of Laurencia intermedia, Laurencia undulata and Rhodymenia intricate in summer; that of Chondria dasyphylla and Hypnea charoides in autumn; that of Carpopeltis affinis, Pachymeniopsis lanceolata, Chondrus ocellatus, Awosorium polyneunm, Gymnogongrus flabelliformis, Gigartina intermedia, Champia parvula and Ceramium paniculatum in summer and autumn. Of the species, G. flabelliiformis, G. intermedia and R. intricate only matured the carposporic phase, and P. telfairiae, H charoides, C. parvula and C. paniculatum did the tetrasporic phase. But the carposporic phase of G. flabelliformis and the tetrasporic phase of C. paniculatum were not occured in Kori area where water temperature was 3 C higher than that in Daesongri. In that area they only matured the other phase. This suggests that the life history is rarely complete in nature and water temperature is a important factor influencing on the sporogenesis. Also it was observed in C. affinis, C. ocellatus and S. latiuscula that the period of one phase is much longer than that of the other phase. But in most of species with both phases, tatrasporic and caropsporic, the former phase appeared a month later than the latter phase. In addition, their biomass became maximum just before sporgenesis, and then gradually decreased with release of reproductive cells.

We investigated the changes in chemical composition and antioxidant activity of Deoduk (Codonopsis lanceolata) and Doragi (Platycodon grandiflorum) with heating. Deoduk and Doragi were heated to $110\sim150^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The total polyphenol content of Deoduk and Doragi reached high values of 6.31 and 7.34 mg/g, respectively, at $150^{\circ}C$. The total polyphenol content of raw Deoduk and Doragi were 0.60 and 0.59 mg/g, respectively. The DPPH radical scavenging activity ($IC_{50}$) of Deoduk and Doragi decreased from 13.94 and 6.83 mg/mL, respectively, in raw samples to 0.81 and 0.94 mg/mL, respectively, in samples heated to $150^{\circ}C$. The ABTS radical scavenging activity of Deoduk and Doragi increased from 0.43 and 0.21 mg AA eq/g, respectively, in raw samples to 3.55 and 4.83 mg AA eq/g, respectively, in samples heated to $150^{\circ}C$. The reducing power of raw Deoduk and Doragi was 0.1 and 0.06, respectively, which was increased to 0.54 and 0.50, respectively, in samples heated to $150^{\circ}C$. Fructose content decreased after heating to $130^{\circ}C$. The sucrose content of the samples increased slowly with heating up to $120^{\circ}C$, but was not detected at warmer temperatures. The organic acid and 5-HMF of the samples increased gradually with increasing temperature.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of Kochujang following the addition of deodeok (Condonopsis lanceolata) powder. To accomplish this, 1%, 3% and 5% deodeok powder was added to Kochujang and the samples were then incubated at $30^{\circ}C$. during which time the general ingredients, water content, acidity, salinity, reducing sugar content, amino-nitrogen content and DPPH were analyzed at intervals of about two weeks. The water crude protein, crude fat and ash content were 3.61%, 8.44%, 4.62% and 8.85%, respectively. The initial acidity was 3.23~3.97%, and this increased to 4.39~44.86%. highlight please clarify this, I cannot infer your intended meaning; however, this can likely be deleted. The salinity was 7.42~7.73%, and 5% with deodeok powder producing the lowest content and showing a tendency to decrease during the storage period. The early amino-nitrogen content was 274.0~333.1%, with higher nitrogen contents being associated with large amounts of deodeok powder. The amino-nitrogen content during the storage period increased to the 4th week, then decreased. Additionally, the a value decreased sharply during the 4-week storage period. Addition of large amount of deodeok powder significantly improved the free radical scavenging activity. The free radical scavenging activity of 1%, 3% and 5% deodeok powder was higher than that of Kochujang throughout the maturation period. Overall, the results of this study indicate that there is the potential to develop functional foods by the addition of deodeok.
