  • Growing barley leaves with $20{\sim}50cm$ length were analyzed for chemical constituents including moisture, crude fiber, protein, fat, ash, free sugars, free amino acids, chlorophylls, vitamin C and minerals. During the growth of barley leaves, moisture content decreased, while crude fiber gradually increased. Protein, fat and ash contents of barley leaves remained relatively unchanged. Chlorophyll content increased to a maximum value at the leaf length of 20 cm, and then declined. Minerals of barley leaves were abundant in the following order of K>Ca>P>Na>Mg. Vitamin C content, showing the similar trend to chlorophyll, was the highest at the leaf length of 20 cm. Major free sugars present in growing barley leaves were identified as glucose, fructose and sucrose. All the free sugars reached their maximum values at 20 cm and they were reduced thereafter. Total amount of free amino acids varied from 803 mg% at the Barley stage of l0 cm to 1038 mg% at the later stage of 50 cm. Changes in content for each amino acid were variable to some extent.

  • To enhance the utilization of Allium hookeri (AH) as a food, characteristics of AH roots and leaves cultivated under open field and greenhouse conditions were investigated. The moisture content of the roots and leaves were 81.05 to 84.18% and 88.85 to 90.12%, respectively. The moisture content of AH cultivated in the open field was 2 to 3% lower than the moisture content of AH cultivated in the greenhouse for both roots and leaves. The content of nitrogen-free extract, carbohydrates, was 13.49 to 16.20% in the roots and 7.08 to 7.79% in the leaves. The main mineral generated from both open field and greenhouse cultivation was potassium, at 503.98 to 512.08 mg% in leaves. The free sugar content of roots cultivated in the open field was four times higher than the content in the leaves, and roots cultivated in the greenhouse contained three times lower free sugar than the leaves. In particular, the fructose content of roots cultivated in the open field was about 12 times higher than roots cultivated in the greenhouse. The crude saponin and total polyphenol content was higher in leaves than roots, and was higher in the open field than the greenhouse. The $IC_{50}$ for DPPH radical scavenging activity was highest, 2.74 mg/mL, in 70% MeOH extracts of AH leaves cultivated in the greenhouse. Water and 70% MeOH extracts of AH leaves cultivated in the greenhouse showed no cytotoxicity to RAW 264.7 cells. Water extracts of AH leaves cultivated in the open field markedly inhibited the production of the inflammatory mediator nitric oxide. These results suggest that AH may be used as the material of health functional food.

  • Chemical examination of Betula platyphylla var. latifolia afforded a novel diarylheptanoid named betulateraol, together with a phenylpropanoid (3, 4'-dihydroxypropio-phenone), flavan-3-ol [(+)-catechin] and its glycosides [(+)-catechin 5-O-$\beta$-glucopyranoside, (+)-catechin 7-0-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside] and two proanthocyanidins (procyanidins B-1 and B-3).

  • Two phenolcarboxylic acids. five flavonoids and one hydrolysable tannin were isolated from the leaves of Acer ginnala Maxim. On the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence, the strutures of these compounds were established as gallic acid, ethylgallate, acertannin, quercetin, quercitrin, isoquercitrin, rutin, $quercetin-3-O-{\alpha}-_L-rhamnopyranosyl-2'-gallate$.

  • A new 24-nor-lupaneglycoside was isolated from the leaves of Acanthopanax trifoliatus. Based on spectroscopic data its chemical structure was determined as 24-nor-11$\alpha$-hydroxy-3-oxo-lup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid 28-Ο-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1$\rightarrow4)-\beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1\rightarrow6)-\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl ester.

  • Ethaboxam is the first proprietary fungicide developed in Korea, registered in 1998 and commercialized in 1999 by LG Chemical Ltd., Korea. It is a derivative of aminothiazole carboxamide and formulated into 25% wettable powder for practical application in fields. Ethaboxam effectively controlled cucumber downy mildew caused by Pseudoperonospora cubensis, potato late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans, and pepper Phytophthora blight caused by P. capsici, and was superior or comparable to the commercial standards, when foliarly sprayed 3∼5 times until dripping off at approximately 7-day intervals during the growing season. Ethaboxam was required at least 125 mg/liter and 250 mg/liter for effective control of cucumber downy mildew, and potato late blight and pepper Phytophthora blight, respectively. There was not phytotoxicity observed o leaves, stems or fruits of cucumber, potato and pepper from any trial.
