Hepatoprotective activity of different extracts of Citrullus colocynthis L. sch. (roots) (cucurbitaceae) was investigated in albino rats by inducing hepatotoxicity with carbon tetrachloride. The alcoholic extract of Citrullus colocynthis sch. 100 mg/kg b.w. has been shown to posses significant hepatoprotective effect by lowering the serum level of transaminases (GPT & GOT), alkaline phosphate (ALP) and bilirubin (P < 0.05 to P < 0.001).

Watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris L.) is a summer fruit typical to help fatigue systemic absorption is getting better. The goal of this study is to screen antioxidant activity to ensure the possibility as a functional material for exocarp of watermelon. Watermelon was extracted with 70% methanol, 70% ethanol, chloroform:methanol (CM, 2:1, v/v). Total phenol contents were 12.01 mg/g, 8.89 mg/g, 3.53 mg/g in the 70% methanol, 70% ethanol, CM, in that order, respectively. Total flavonoid content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching assay were 70% methanol extract remarkably higher than the other extracts. And these results showed the same trend of total phenol content. From the above results shows that watermelon was effective on the antioxidative activity.

The increasing resistance of head lice Pediculus humanus capitis to many drugs has highlighted the need for new alternatives to control head lice in adults. The effect of two types of extracts (aqueous and alcoholic) of Citrullus colocynthis fruit on adult lice was tested in vitro. The results showed that the alcoholic extract with a concentration of 20% showed similar efficacy in killing adult lice to that of Natroba 9% w/w, with values ranging between 87% to 98% within 18 minutes, followed by a 20% aqueous extract with a 44% to 79% death rate. A 10% concentration of both types of extracts had moderate lethality for lice, while a 5% concentration did not show strong lethality for adult lice. These results revealed significant differences between the control group and those treated with alcoholic and aqueous extract concentrations of C. colocynthis fruits at the probability level p ≤ 0.05.

동시증류추출장치를 사용하여 획득한 수박(Citrullus vulgaris S.)과 참외(Cucumis melo L.)의 휘발성 향기성분을 기체크로마토그래피로 분리하여 질량분석법으로 동정하였다. 수박에서 분리동정된 37종의 화합물로는 16종의 alcohol 류, 15종의 aldehyde 류, 2종의 ester류, 2종의 ketone 류와 기타 2종의 화합물이 확인되었다. 전체 상대적 농도의 68.66%를 차지한 alcohol 류가 수박의 주요 향기성분이었으며, 불포화 $C_{9}$ 화합물인 (Z)-3-nonen-1-ol, (Z,Z)-nonadien-1-ol, (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal, (E)-2-nonenal이 특징적 향기성분으로 나타났다. 참외에서 분리동정된 55종의 화합물로는 26종의 ester 류, 16종의 alcohol 류, 10종의 aldehyde 류와 기타 3종의 화합물이 확인되었으며, 전체 상대적 농도의 63.8%를 차지한 ester류가 참외의 주요 향기 성분으로 나타났다. 이 중에서 (Z)-3-nonenyl acetate, (Z)-6-nonenyl acetate와 (Z,Z)-3,6-nonadienyl acetate, $C_{9}$-불포화 ester 류가 중요한 향기성분이었으며, 황함유 ester 류인 ethyl (methylthio)acetate, ethyl 3-(methylthio) propanoate 또한 참외의 향기에 중요한 역할을 하는 화합물이었다.

The behaviour of alginate immobilized and soluble watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris) urease in water miscible organic solvents like, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide (DMF), ethanol, methanol, and propanol is described. The organic solvents exhibited a concentration dependent inhibitory effect on both the immobilized and the soluble urease in the presence of urea. Pretreatment of soluble enzyme preparations with organic solvents in the absence of substrate for 10 min at $30^{\circ}C$ led to rapid loss in the activity, while similar pretreatment of immobilized urease with 50% (v/v) of ethanol, propanol, and acetonitrile was ineffective. Time-dependent inactivation of immobilized urease, both in the presence and in the absence of urea, revealed stability for longer duration of time even at very high concentration of organic solvents. The soluble enzyme, on the other hand, was rapidly inactivated even at fairly lower concentrations. The results suggest that the immobilization of watermelon urease in calcium alginate make it suitable for its application in organic media. The observations are discussed.

2007년 5월 상순 진주시 초전동 비닐하우스 수박 재배 포장에서 수박 흰비단병이 발생되었다. 병정은 과실 아랫 부분이 수침상으로 물러지고 부패되면서 병반부와 토양 표면에 흰색의 곰팡이가 솜털모양으로 생기고 갈색의 둥근 균핵을 많이 형성하였다. 균핵의 크기는 $1{\sim}3\;mm$이며 균사의 폭은 $4{\sim}8{\mu}m$로서 균사생육과 균핵형성 적온은 $30^{\circ}C$이었다. 균사특유의 clamp connection이 관찰되었다. 수박에서 발생한 병징과 병원균의 균학적 특징 및 병원성을 검정한 결과, 이 병을 Sclerotium rolfsii에 의한 수박 흰비단병으로 명명하고자 제안한다.

In the present study in vitro mutagenesis was used to study the effect of gamma irradiation and EMS on callus induction, morphogenesis and production of multiple shoots from different explants of Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schrad. Gamma radiations (5 kR to 20 kR) and certain chemicals have been effected on plant growth developments and changes of biochemical metabolisms in plants. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing with auxins such as NAA, IAA, 2,4-D (0.5 ~ 2.0 mg/l), cytokinines BAP, kn TDZ, (0.5 ~ 2.5 mg/l), L-Glutamic acid (1 ~ 2 mg/l) and Coconut milk (10 ~ 20%). After 5 weeks on induction media, explants and callus (EC) were exposed to 5 kR, 10 kR, 15 kR and 20kR, of gamma radiation and treated with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mM ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS) for 30 min. The highest percentage of callusing was observed (70%) stem irradiated with 5 kR and significantly decrease in fresh and dry weight of callus in the below 4 kR doses and above 20 kR doses, there was a progressive decrease in the fresh weight and dry weights when compared to control callus. Maximum percentage of plantlet regeneration (59%) was induced from callus exposed to 15 kR gamma irradiation on MS media fortified with 2.0 mg/l 2,4-D + 2.0 mg/l BAP + 2.0 mg/l L-glutamic acid. Increase in gamma irradiation dose above 15 kR and 5 mM EMS reduced regeneration capacity of callus. Doses higher than 20 kR and 7 mM EMS was lethal to micropropagated plants of Citurullus colocynthis.

박과 작물 4종(오이, 수박, 참외, 수세미)에 대한 핵형분석 연구를 수행하였다. 염색체 조성은 모두 이배체로 염색체 수와 형태적 특징에 있어서 종에 따라 차이를 나타냈다. 오이의 핵형은 2n=14=14m, 수박은 2n=22=22m으로 2번 염색체가 부수체를 지니며, 참외는 2n=24=18m+6sm으로 7번 염색체가 부수체를 지니고 있었다. 수세미는 2n=26=26m으로 1번 염색체가 부수체를 지니고 있었다. 핵형분석 결과 종에 따라 특징적인 염색체 수와 조정을 나타내었으며 종간 게놈 구성의 정보에 따른 박과 작물 육종화 작업의 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있으리라 본다.
