Rotting bacteria were isolated from decayed root rot of ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer), cultured purely, and it's pathogenicity was confirmed by reinoculation test. Two strains (E3, E7) were selected to be tested in more detailed study with respect to their morphological, cutural and biochemical characters. The strains causing red rot of ginsneg were identified as Erwinia carotovora.

Ginsenosides present in the roots of panax ginseng C.A. Meyer were shown to induce a stimulatory effect on the overexpressed cellular chicken c-src protein tyrossine kinase in NH3T3 cells. Among 4 ginsenosides studied $(G-Rb_2,\;G-Rc,\;G-Re\;and\;G-Rg_1),\;G-Rg_1$ showed the most stimulatory effect at $16.7\mu{g/ml}$ ginsenoside concentration increasing the activity by 2-4 times. Inhibitors of either protein synthesis or RNA synthesis blocked the activation of c-src proein tyrosine kinase. These results suggest that the csrc kinase activation apprars to involve an increase in the amount of protein of the kinase by transcriptional control mechanism rather than an increase in the kinase activity.

인삼의 엽소현상과 광계 II(photosystem II)의 광수확 엽록소-단백질 복합체(LHCP II)의 광에너지 분배 기작과의 관계를 구명코저 LHCP II의 인산화에 따른 형광 quenching과 광량별 인산화 정도, 그리고 단백질 조성을 조사하였다. 인삼은 DCMU의 존재 하에서 photosystem II의 형광발생량이 양지식물인 콩에 비해 많았으며, 인간화에 따른 형광 quenching율도 현저히 높았다. 또한, 강광(25k1ux 이상)에서 인삼은 인산화에 따른 형광 quenching율이 콩에 비해서 2배정도 높다는 사실을 확인하였다. 엽록소-단백질 복합체(CP-complex)의 조성비율 및 LHCP II를 구성하고 있는 단백질의 앙과 수적인 면에서 비교식물과 큰 차이를 나타내었는데, 24~29kD 범위에서 인삼은 25, 26, 27kD의 major 밴드와 24, 25.3, 28.3kD의 minor밴드로 구성되어 있었으며 광량에 의존적으로 인산화가 증가하는 인삼의 LHCP II 단백질은 24kD 이었다.

Background: This study was carried out to determine the best time for collecting ginseng berries without reducing the ginsenoside-Re content of ginseng roots, which are used as food, medicine, or cosmetic materials. Methods and Results: The test variety of ginseng used in this study was is Chunpung, which was collected from a 4-year-old ginseng field. Ginseng berries were collected at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, and 56 days after flowering. The number of berry bunches per $1.62m^2$ ranged from 43.4 to 61.4, while the weight of berries per $1.62m^2$ was the greatest when they were collected 49 days after flowering. The root fresh weight per $1.62m^2$ was increased by 0.21 - 1.00 kg compared with that before the test, but root weight gain was decreased as the berry collection time was delayed. Total ginsenoside content of 4-year-old ginseng was the highest when berries were collected 7 days after flowering, while the ginsenoside-Re contents was the highest when collection was done 14 days after flowering. Conclusions: The most suitable period for ginseng berry collection was proposed to be from 14 to 21 days after flowering, as this is when the content of ginsenoside-Re, which is useful as a medicinal or cosmetic material, is still high and the ginseng root has not yet decreased in weight.

In the previous observations, it was reported that both total ginseng saponin and panaxadiol revealed the marked secretory effect of catecholamines (CA) from the rabbit adrenal gland and that CA secretion induced by them is due to dual mechanisms, cholinergic action and the direct action. In the present study, an attempt to investigate the effect of panaxatriol-type saponin (PT), which is known as an active component of Korean ginseng, on the secretion of CA from the rabbit adrenal gland was made. PT(200 $\mu$g) administered into adrenal vein evoked significantly secretion of CA from the isolated perfused rabbit adrenal gland. Secretory effect of CA produced by PT was attenuated clearly by treatment with chlorisondamine or adenosine, but was markedly increased by physostigmine. Perfusion of Krebs solution containing PT (200 $\mu$g) for 30 min potentiated greatly secretion of CA induced by acetylcholine. PT-induced CA secretion was weakened considerably by ouabain treatement or perfusion of calcium-free Krebs solution. These experimental data demonstrate that PT releases CA from the isolated perfused rabbit adrenal gland by a calcium-dependentd exocytotic mechanism. It seems that the secretory effect of PT is caused through the release of acetylcholine form cholinergic terminals present in the adrenal gland and a direct action on the chromaffin cell itself.

국내에서 수집된 인삼 자원 중에서 작물학적 특성이 우수하다고 조사된 54점(6~7년 근)을 대상으로 UPOV 조사 기준에 따라 주요 형태적인 특성들을 조사한 결과 경수는 1~4개 범위로 1개인 것이 42.6%이고, 2개인 것이 38.6%로 경수가 1~2개인 것이 전체 81.2%로 나타났으며, 경수가 5개인 것은 없었다. 장엽수는 3~6엽 범위로 5엽이 55.6%였고 4엽인 것은 25.9%였다. 경색은 자색계열이 전체 81.5%로 자색이 46.3%, 연자색이 25.9%를 차지하였다. 엽병색도 자색계열이 87%로 이 중 자색이 38.9%, 연자색은 29.6%를 차이 하였다. 잎의 주름 정도는 약간 있다가 20.4%였고, 46.3%가 강하다고 조사되었다. 잎의 거치정도는 없거나 약간 있다고 조사된 것이 51.9%였고, 29.6%가 강하다고 나타났다. 소엽모양은 넓은 타원형이 61.1%였으며, 타원형이 38.9%이였다. 풍기를 포함한 경북 지역 수집종 21점과 금산지역 수집종 29점 등을 포함한 54점의 수집종을 재료로 100개의 random primer를 이용 RAPD 분석 결과 OPA02 등 14개의 primer를 선발하였으며, 크게 금산지역과 풍기지역으로 group지워졌고, 풍기 수집종인 01-9, 01-35, 01-44는 금산지역으로 grouping되어진 반면, 금산지역 수집종 332001, 332002, 332003은 풍기 지역으로 grouping되었다. 금산지역 수집종은 65~86%로 변이가 심한 반면, 풍기지역 수집종은 73~95%사이로 금산지역 수집종의 혼계 정도가 더 심하였다. 특히 형태적 특성 면에서 두 지역간에 경수는 1~2개로 차이가 없었으나 장엽수, 경색, 엽병색, 소엽의 모양 등에서는 다소 차이를 보였다. 따라서 수집종의 유전 분석을 통해 선발된 OPA02, OPA07, OPC08, OPD11, OPD20 등 14개의 primer들은 앞으로 지역 재래종 특성 분류 등 인삼 유전자원의 특성 구분이나 품종개량에 유익하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
