This study was performed to investigate hepatoprotective effect of rutin on acute hepatic damage induced by carbon tetrachloride in rats. Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups; normal control group, $CCl_4$ control group, two rutin treatment groups (rutin 200+$CCl_4$ and rutin 400+$CCl_4$). Dissolving vehicles were applied to the rats in the normal control group. The rutin was administrated to the rats in rutin 200+$CCl_4$ and rutin 400+$CCl_4$ groups at the levels of 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg, 3 consecutive days orally, with 24 hours interval before inoculating $CCl_4$. $CCl_4$ was intraperitoneally administered an hour after the last treatment of rutin to the rats in every group except the normal control group. The body weight of rats in $CCl_4$ control group were significantly lower than other groups (p < 0.05), but the liver weight and relative liver weight were higher than normal control group (p < 0.05). The activities of ALT, AST, ALP, GTP, LDH and the level of total bilirubin in sera of rats in $CCl_4$ control group were higher and the levels of total protein, albumin and globulin were lower than the normal group (p < 0.05). The activities of ALT, AST, ALP, GTP, LDH and the level of total bilirubin in rutin 200+$CCl_4$ and rutin 400+$CCl_4$ groups were lower than $CCl_4$ control group (p < 0.05). Therefore the pre-treatment of rutin before $CCl_4$ inoculation in rats effectively inhibited the elevation of serum ALT, AST and total bilirubin which are the parameters of hepatic damage.

Ginseng (Panax ginseng) is one of the most widely cultivated medicinal herbs in Korea. However, yield losses reached up to 30-60％ due to various diseases during 3 or 5 years of ginseng cultivation in the country. Therefore, successful production of ginseng roots depends primarily on the control of diseases. The objective of this study was to select potential biocontrol agents from rhizobacteria isolated from various plant internal root tissues for the control of multiple ginseng diseases as an alternative to fungicides. Among 106 Bacillus strains, two promising biocontrol agents, Bacillus pumilus strain B1141 and Paenibacillus lentimobus strain B1146, were selected by screening against root rot of ginseng caused by Cylindrocarpon destructans in a greenhouse. Pre-inoculation of selected isolates to seed or l-year-old root of ginseng resulted in stimulation of shoot and/or root growth of seedlings, and successfully controlled root rot caused by C. destructans (P<0.05). Furthermore, drenching of cell suspension of the selected isolates on seedling-growing pots reduced the incidence of Phytophthora blight after the seedlings were challenged with zoospores of Phytophthora cactorum (P<0.05). P. lentimorbus strain B1146 showed antifungal activity against various soil-borne pathogens in vitro, while B. pumilus strain B1141 did not show any. Results of this study suggest that some rhizobacteria can induce resistance against various plant diseases on ginseng.

Biocontrol activity of five strains of selected rhizo-bacteria were tested in tomato against bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. After root bacterization the plants were grown in a perlite-hydroponic system. Upon challenge inoculation with the pathogen, all of the rhizobacterial strains efficiently suppressed the bacterial wilt in tomato in various rates, at maximum by the strain, Bacillus vallismortis strain EXTN-1. While the percent of infected plants in the non-bacterized control plants were 95%, it was only 65% in plants pre-treated with EXTN-1. It was also demonstrated that the movement of R. solanacearum within the stem was significantly hampered when the plants were root bacterized. As EXTN-1 has no antagonistic properties against R. solanacearum, the bacterial wilt was probably suppressed by a mechanism other than antibiosis. Previously, the strain had been proven to produce an efficient elicitor for inducing systemic resistance in many crops. As the present study confirmed that EXTN-1 has the ability for reducing the pathogen spread in tomato, the strain could be effectively used as a potential biocontrol agent against bacterial wilt.

Fescues, which are widely cultivated as grasses and forages around the world, are often naturally infected with the endophyte, Epichloë. This fungus, transmitted through seeds, imparts resistance to drying and herbivorous insects in its host without causing any external damage, thereby contributing to the adaptation of the host to the environment and maintaining a symbiosis. However, some endophytes, such as E. coenophialum synthesize ergovaline or lolitrem B, which accumulate in the plant and impart anti-mammalian properties. For example, when livestock consume excessive amounts of grass containing toxic endophytes, problems associated with neuromuscular abnormalities, such as convulsions, paralysis, high fever, decreased milk production, reproductive disorders, and even death, can occur. Therefore, pre-inoculation with non-toxic endogenous fungi or management with endophyte-free grass is important in preventing damage to livestock and producing high-quality forage. To date, the diagnosis of endophytes has been mainly performed by observation under a microscope following staining, or by performing an immune blot assay using a monoclonal antibody. Recently, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based molecular diagnostic method is gaining importance in the fields of agriculture, livestock, and healthcare given the method's advantages. These include faster results, with greater accuracy and sensitivity than those obtained using conventional diagnostic methods. For the diagnosis of endophytes, the nested PCR method is the only available option developed; however, it is limited by the fact that the level of toxic alkaloid synthesis cannot be estimated. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to develop a triplex real-time PCR diagnostic method that can determine the presence or absence of endophyte infection using DNA extracted from seeds within 1 h, while simultaneously detecting easD and LtmC genes, which are related to toxic alkaloid synthesis. This new method was then also applied to real field samples.

Citrus melanose, caused by Diaporthe citri, has been one of the serious diseases, and chemical fungicides were used for protection in many citrus orchards of Jeju Island. Establishing a disinfectant resistance management system and reducing pesticide usage would be important for contributing to safe agricultural production. In this study, monitoring of chemical resistance was performed with 40 representative D. citri isolates from many citrus orchards in Jeju Island. Four different fungicides, kresoxim-methyl, benomyl, fluazinam, and prochloraz manganese, with seven different concentrations were tested in vitro by growing the mycelium of the fungal isolates on the artificial medium potato dextrose agar. Among the 40 fungal isolates, 12 isolates were investigated as resistant to kresoxim-methyl which could not inhibit the mycelium growth to more than 50%. Especially isolate NEL21-2 was also resistant against benomyl, whose hyphae grew well even on the highest chemical concentration. However, any chemical resistance of fungal isolates was found against neither fluazinam nor prochloraz manganese. On the other hand, in vivo bio-testing of some resistant isolates was performed against both kresoxim-methyl and benomyl on young citrus leaves. Typical melanose symptoms developed on the citrus leaves pre-treated with both agrochemicals after inoculation with the resistant isolates. However, no or less symptoms were observed when the susceptible isolates were inoculated. Based on these results, it was suggested that some resistant isolates of D. citri occurred against both systemic fungicides, which may be valuable to build a strategy for protecting citrus disease.

Picea mariana 생장을 억제하는 Kalmia angustifolia에 영향을 주는 외생근균을 조사 선발하였다. 11개 외생근균중에서 19계통을 선발하여 Kalmia 잎침출물이 들어있는 배지에 P. mariana 치묘와 함께 근균을 접종하여 자라는 형태와 생장양상을 조사하였다. Kalmia 잎추출물을 첨가한 액체배지에서는 균사의 건중량을, 한천배지에서는 코로니의 직경을 측정한 결과 분리된 9개 균주에서는 현저하게 억제되었으나 나머지 10개 균주에서는 반대로 증가되거나 Kalmia의 영향이 나타나지 않았다. 배양배지의 pH가 3-4일 때는 생장을 억제 받는 근균도 있었으나 pH와 잎침출물을 조합한 조건하에서는 더욱 강하게 억제되었다. 분리된 13개 계통은 순수배양에서 Kalmia 잎침출물 25%와 함께 배양한 P. mariana에서 외생근균이 형성되었다. Paxillus involutus(NF4), Cenococcum geophilum(GB12), Laccaria laccata(GB23), E-strain(GB45)계통에서는 Kalmia 잎추출물 50%에서 배양한 결과 다른 계통보다 많은 외생근균이 형성이 되었다. 이러한 근균을 미리 접종한 P. mariana를 Kalmia 잎추출물과 같이 배양한 후 온실 안에서 4개월동안 Kalmia와 갈이 재배하였다. P. involutus, L. laccata 와 E-strain 미리 접종한 치묘에서는 많은 근균(흡수근외 77-91%)이 형성되었으나 C. geophilum를 미리 접종한 치묘에서는 근균이 비교적(흡수근의 32%) 적게 형성되었다. 외생균근이 대부분의 치묘에서 생겼음에도 불구하고 근균의 90% 이상이 접종근균에서 생겨났다. 근균의 지속적인 생장은 살아있는 Kalmia 식물개체에 영향을 받지 않았다. P. involutus, L.laccata와 E-strain과 같이 처리한 치묘 근균의 80% 이상과 C. geophilum을 처리한 치묘 근균의 53%가 접종된 균주의 영향을 받았다. 대조구에서는 토착균주에 의해 약 45%의 짧은 뿌리의 외생근균이 형성되었다. L. laccata와 C. geophidum는 Kalmia잎추출물과 같이 배양한 치묘의 근균행성을 촉진하였다. 균주를 접종한 경우 근균형성율은 pH5보다 pH4에서 4-15% 더 낮았으며 L. laccata를 접종한 경우 심하게 억제되었다. P. involtus에 접종한 치묘는 L. laccata를 E-strain를 접종한 치묘보다 줄기와 뿌리생장이 가장 높게 나타났다. P. involtus와 L. laccata를 접종한 치묘는 대조구의 치묘보다는 건중량이 많고 키가 훨씬 컸다. E-strain에 접종한 치묘는 대조구와 비교해서 1차 측근 수가 매우 작았으며 줄기 건중량은 매우 높게 나타났으나 다른 형질, 예를 들면 흡수근, 뿌리 건중량, 수고 등은 대조구와 크게 다르지 않았으나 C. geophilum에 접종한 치묘는 1차 측근수를 제외한 다른 생장 특징에서는 대조구와 크게 다르지 않았다.

The author has investigated epidemiological features of human cases of epidemic encephalitis (E. E.) in the Republic of Korea and the status of antibody requisition in pre-and post-epidemic time. And virological and serological studies with regarding the relationship of E. E. infection between human and piglet, and field survey against its vector by means of virus isolation from mosquitoes were carried out. Finally, vaccine field trial against human population has also been evaluated in order to confirm its effectiveness. The results of the studies are summarized as follows : 1. The annual incidence of reported cases during the past 25 years (1949-1973) in the Republic of Korea has shown two patterns, one was typical cyclic incidence and the other one was irregular. Annual average morbidity and mortality rate per 100,000 population were 5.7 and 2.1 and fatality rate was 34.6% in typical cyclic years. 2. With regard to the geographical distribution of E. E., the province of Jeolla-Bug-Do illustrated the highest incidence regardless of the epidemic size. 3. The main epidemic period was between mid-August and mid-September (above 90% of the total number of cases). The first case was reported in middle of July and the epidemic ceased in late of October. 4. An analysis of the age distribution of cases of E. E., has shown that above 90% of the total cases occurred in the age groups under 14 years and it was noted that about its 54% were occurred in the age groups between 5-9 years group. 5. Through the Haemagglutination Inhibition (H-I) test for the laboratory diagnosis of E. E., it was found that higher H-I antibody titer was usually detected in the convalescent phase, 15 days after onset. 6. The H-I antibody survey against 563 healthy population by age groups during the pre-epidemic season showed that 422(75%) were less than H-I titer, 1:20 and 122(21.7%) were positive H-I titer, 1:20. Among the 94 American in Seoul who had not been in E. E. endemic area previously only one person had appeared sero-conversion as a H-I titer of 1:80 after post-epidemic season. 7. The E. E. virus could be isolated from the mosquitos pools-C, tritaeniorhyncus which were caught between late July and middle August. 8. E.E. Virus was also isolated from piglet blood on early August and H-I antibody conversion was occurred mostly on middle of August. 9. H-I antibody sero-conversion rate reached to high level when vaccine purified by mouse brain tissue inoculated, showing 98.9%. Higher antibody titer was acquired when booster inoculation was performed, Four fold rise of H-I add N-T antibodies was confirmed with 93.2% and 82.1% respectively.

본 연구는 빵의 스폰지법을 증편의 제조에 응용하기 위한 pre-fermented rice sourdough의 제조조건을 확립하고자 수행되었다. Rice sourdough를 제조하기 위하여 S. cerevisiae CY 균주와 L. mesenteroides ATCC 9135 균주를 접종하여 $30^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 동안 발효시키면서 rice sourdough의 품질특성을 조사하였다. 반죽에서 L. mesenteroides 균주의 생육은 초기에 감소하다가 배양 후기에 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, S. cerevisiae 균주는 전형적인 효모의 생육곡선을 보였다. 효모와 유산균의 혼합배양으로 반죽에 존재하는 총균수는 감소되었다. 또한 혼합배양으로 반죽의 점도와 팽창도는 증가되었으며, 팽창도인 경우 18시간 발효 후 170%의 증가를 보였다. 혼합배양 시 현미분의 첨가는 유기산과 에탄올의 생성을 촉진시켰으며, 발효제품의 기호성을 평가하는 fermentation quotient(FQ; lactic acid와 acetic acid의 몰비)는 $1.9{\sim}3.2$로 양호하였다. 이는 S. cerevisiae 균주와 L.mesenteroides 균주의 혼합배양으로 제조한 rice sourdough가 향후 증편 제조용 발효종으로 사용될 경우 증편의 품질향상에 기여할 것으로 생각된다.
