Sambucus williamsii var. coreana have been used as a traditional medical food. This research was conducted to investigate the antioxidants of S. williamsii var. coreana leave and stem extracts. Total phenolic content of S. williamsii var. coreana leaves and stem water extracts were 6.6 and 2.0 mg/mL. The EDA by DPPH free radical scavenging test of S. williamsii var. coreana leaves extracts were 99.5 and 89.7% in water and ethanol extracts contained phenolic 200 ${\mu}g/mL$. The stem extracts were 92.2 and 94.3% in water and ethanol extracts contained phenolic 200 ${\mu}g/mL$. The ABTS radical decolorization activity of water and ethanol extracts from leaves were 79.8 and 99.1% at phenolic 200 ${\mu}g/mL$ and water and ethanol extracts from stem were 90.8 and 97.2% at phenolic 200 ${\mu}g/mL$. The antioxidant protection factor of water and ethanol extracts from leaves were 1.1 PF and 1.1 PF at phenolic 200 ${\mu}g/mL$ and water and ethanol extracts from stem were 1.4 PF and 1.0 PF at phenolic 200 ${\mu}g/mL$. The TBARs of water and ethanol extracts from leaves were 88.7 and 98.1% at phenolic 200 ${\mu}g/mL$ and water and ethanol extracts from stem were 93.6 and 90.6% at phenolic 200 ${\mu}g/mL$. The antioxidative activities of extracts from S. williamsii var. coreana leaves and stem were higher than BHT as positive control. These results suggests that S. williamsii var. coreana extracts have the greatest property as a natural antioxidative source.

The optimal culture conditions for root organogenesis from the callus of peonies (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.) were investigated. Root explants with vascular bundles were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium combined with 0.5-4.0 mg/L auxins (indole acetic acid [IAA], naphthalene acetic acid [NAA], indolebutyric acid [IBA], and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid [2,4-D]) and 0.0-2.0 mg/L cytokinins (kinetin, zeatin, and benzylaminopurine [BAP]) to induce callus formation. The callus was then cultured in MS medium combined with three concentrations (0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/L) of IAA, NAA, IBA, kinetin, zeatin, and BAP in the dark for 6 weeks. Based on the results, the effects of dark and light conditions on the callus cultured in MS medium with combinations of 0.1-1.0 mg/L IBA and zeatin for 6 weeks were studied. Callus formation was most effective (>+++) in the medium with a combination of 1.0 mg/L NAA and 1.0 mg/L zeatin. A high number of long adventitious roots were observed in the mediums with 0.1 mg/L IBA (6.66 and 4.82 cm) and 0.5 mg/L zeatin (2.32 and 0.72 cm) among auxins and cytokinins, respectively. The highest number (14.06) of adventitious roots were formed from the callus cultured in light in the MS medium combined with 0.1 mg/L IBA and 0.5 mg/L zeatin. This same medium induced the formation of the longest adventitious root (5.45 cm) in the dark. Thus, optimization of in vitro culture conditions may be possible for the mass propagation of adventitious roots in peonies.

This study was conducted to establish the tissue culture system for Korean domestic Miscanthus sinensis, which is used in various purposes such as forage, and bio-energy resources. With the mature seed of Miscanthus, optimum concentrations of plant growth regulators were identified for an efficient callus induction and regeneration. Among the treatments of 1~10 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 2,4-D, IBA, or NAA, callus induction rate was highest (85.3%) on MS medium containing 5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 2,4-D. Under the condition, the callus were efficiently induced and proliferated with comparably lower frequencies of callus browning. In shoot regeneration, the treatment of NAA combined with BAP seemed to contribute more efficient conditions to shoot regeneration than those of NAA with Kinetin or 2-iP. Especially, regeneration efficiency and number of regenerated plants were 83.7% and 5.5 in 3 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA with 5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BAP, respectively, which were higher frequencies than those in NAA with Kinetin or 2-iP. In results, 5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 2,4-D and 3 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA combined with 5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BAP were efficient for embryogenic callus induction and regeneration of Miscanthus. This system would be useful for mass-propagation and developing new cultivars via tissue culture of Miscanthus sinensis.

This experiment was carried out to obtain the optimal liquid culture conditions for the mycelial growth and the polysaccharide production of Tricholoma matsutake. For the mycelial growth and polysaccharide production, the synthetic medium was optimized with containing glucose 40 g/L, yeast extract 30 g/L, $KH_2PO_4$ 1.5 g/L and $MgSO_4.7H_2O$ 1 g/L. The effects of agitation and aeration were investigated for the cell growth and the polysaccharide production in batch culture. The biomass and polysaccharide concentrations were 21.87 g/L at 150 rpm and 8.86 g/L at 300 rpm, respectively. And the biomass concentration and the polysaccharide production were 20.85 g/L at 0.5 vvm and 8.83 g/L at 1.5 vvm, respectively.

In this paper, we would like to show unexpected morphogenic potential of cell suspensions derived from seedling explants of Gentiana kurroo (Royle). Suspension cultures were established with the use of embryogenic callus derived from seedling explants (root, hypocotyl and cotyledons). Proembryogenic mass proliferated in liquid MS medium supplemented with $0.5mg\;l^{-1}$ 2,4-D and $1.0mg\;l^{-1}$ Kin. The highest growth coefficient was achieved for root derived cell suspensions. The microscopic analysis showed differences in aggregate structure depending on their size. To assess the embryogenic capability of the particular culture, 100 mg of cell aggregates was implanted on MS agar medium supplemented with Kin ($0.0-2.0mg\;l^{-1}$), $GA_3$ ($0.0-2.0mg\;l^{-1}$) and AS ($80.0mg\;l^{-1}$). The highest number of somatic embryos was obtained for cotyledon-derived cell suspension on $GA_3$-free medium, but the best morphological quality of embryos was observed in the presence of $0.5-1.0mg\;l^{-1}$ Kin, $0.5mg\;l^{-1}$ $GA_3$ and $80.0mg\;l^{-1}$ AS. The morphogenic competence of cultures also depended on the size of the aggregate fraction and was lower when size of aggregates decreased. Flow cytometry analysis reveled luck of uniformity of regenerants derived from hypocotyl suspension and 100% of uniformity for cotyledon suspension.

To develop a selection system for regenerating plants from transformed tissues, effects of four antibiotics (kanamycin, hygromycin, carbenicillin, cefotaxime) and herbicide (phosphinotricin) on shoot regeneration from cotyledon and hypocotyl explants of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis) were studied. For cotyledon, shoot induction was not significantly affected by kanamycin at $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, but the number of shoots formed was significantly reduced at $2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, and no shoots were regenerated from any explants at $6mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ or higher. Hypocotyl explants showed similar result as cotyledon. Kanamycin at $7mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ may be adequate for selecting Chinese cabbage transformants. Hygromycin at $4mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ or higher completely inhibited the growth and shoot regeneration of Chinese cabbage explants. Therefore, resistance gene to hygromycin may also be used as a selective marker for Chinese cabbage transformation. Carbenicillin and cefotaxime, the cephalosporin type of antibiotics, had little effect on shoot regeneration of Chinese cabbage explants. Since carbenicillin and cefotaxime have low toxicity to Chinese cabbage, they are suitable for use in tissue culture to eliminate Agrobacterium in transformation experiments after co-cultivation. Shoot regeneration from cotyledon and hypocotyl explants was significantly reduced in presence of $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ phosphinotricin (PPT) and completely inhibited by $2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ or higher. PPT, same as antibiotics, may also be used to select transformed cells. Since Chinese cabbage is known to be recalcitrant to in vitro shoot regeneration compared to other Brassica species, even though lower levels of selectable markers result in more transformants but simultaneously allow more untransformed escapes to develop, lower levels of antibiotics and herbicides could be successfully used as a selectable marker to reduce selection pressure.

Sweet bee venom (SBV) causes less hypersensitivity reactions compared with whole bee venom. To determine the appropriate SBV initial dose for pharmacopuncture treatment of lower back pain, the initial dose, and the dose which caused hypersensitivity were retrospectively reviewed between January 1^st, 2017 and December 31^st, 2019. There were 523 first-visit patients who received SBV pharmacopuncture for lower back pain and 41 showed hypersensitivity. No systemic reactions were observed and localized reactions were not severe. Hypersensitivity was observed during the first (7 cases), and fifth treatments (8 cases). An initial SBV (10%) volume of 0.1 mL was used in 2 cases, 0.2 mL in 6 cases, 0.6 mL in 41 cases, and 1.2 mL in 474 cases. The hypersensitivity rate during the first and fifth treatment was 1.34% and 1.53%, respectively. As a result, 1.2 mL of SBV was considered the acceptable initial dose. However, for safer treatment, we recommend limiting the initial dose of SBV to 0.5 mL.

In this paper we study the Banach space $L^1$(G) of real valued measurable functions which are integrable with respect to a vector measure G in the sense of D. R. Lewis. First, we investigate conditions for a scalarly integrable function f which guarantee $f{\in}L^1$(G). Next, we give a sufficient condition for a sequence to converge in $L^1$(G). Moreover, for two vector measures F and G with values in the same Banach space, when F can be written as the integral of a function $f{\in}L^1$(G), we show that certain properties of G are inherited to F; for instance, relative compactness or convexity of the range of vector measure. Finally, we give some examples of $L^1$(G) related to the approximation property.

본 논문에서는 L$_1$평면상에 도로망이 주어져 있어서 여행자들이 그 도로들을 이용하여 더욱 빠르게 이동할 수 있는 가정 하에서 가장 기초적인 기하문제 중에 하나인 두 점 사이의 최단 경로를 찾는 문제를 다룬다. 이 때, 두 점 사이의 거리는 L$_1$ 거리가 아닌 주어진 도로들을 이용하여 두 점 사이를 이동할 때 필요한 최소시간으로 측정한다. 단순한 평면상에서의 최단경로와는 달리 도로망이 설치되어 있는 경우는 그것을 해결하기가 일반적으로 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 도로망이 있는 평면에 대한 깊은 관찰과 이해를 통해 도로망이 설치되어 있는 L$_1$ 평면상에서의 최단경로 문제를 해결하는 효율적인 알고리즘을 제시한다. 덧붙여, 본 논문에서 제시하는 문제 해결 방법은 L$_1$ 평면뿐만 아니라 유클리드 평면에도 어렵지 않게 적용할 수 있으며 보로노이 다이어그램으로의 일반화도 간단하다.

Consider minimizing the sum of absolute deviations for multiple regression models. If a regression line is assumed to pass a given point, then we can find that the $L_1$ regression coefficient can be defined in terms of the weighted medians of the slopes from each data point to the given point. Therefore, $L_1$ method could be regarded to find the optimal point which regression line passes over.
