  • A cytotoxic coumarin against L1210 cell was isolated from the unripe fruit of Poncirus trifoliata ($ED_{5}$) = 10.2 $\mu$ g/ml. Its structure was identified as aurapten, 7-geranyloxycoumarin. Hydrolysis of the substance gave umbelliferone and geraniol. Only geraniol showed the cytotoxic activity ($ED_{53}$ = 6.5 $\mu$g/ml) while umbelliferone and its methyl or allyl derivatives were not active.

  • Benzo[c] phenanthridine alkaloids occurring in the Fumariaceae, Papaveraceae, and Rutaceae. posses numerous pharmacological activities, such as antitumor. antimicrobal and antifungal activities. Thus, they have attracted much interests of chemists and as the result, several total syntheses of these heterocycle structure were accomplished. Among that, procedures which involve 3-arylisoquinoline intermediates are useful methods and these synthons could be also applied to the preparation of other alkaloids. (omitted)

  • Powdery mildew anamorphs were collected from Orixa japonica (Rutaceae) in Korea. Based on the morphology and molecular phylogeny derived from the internal transcribed spacer regions and the large subunit gene of the rDNA, the fungus was identified as Erysiphe orixae. This powdery mildew species has been known to be endemic to Japan. This is the first report on E. orixae in Korea.

  • Citrus is a common term and genus (Citrus) of flowering plants in the rue family, Rutaceae. Citrus is believed to have originated in the part of Southeast Asia bordered by Northeastern India, Myanmar (Burma) and the Yunnan province of China. The taxonomy and systematics of the genus are complex and the precise number of natural species is unclear, as many of the named species are clonally propagated hybrids, and there is genetic evidence that even some wild, true-breeding species are of a hybrid origin. One of the most popular sequences for phylogenetic inference at the generic and infrageneric levels in plants is the chloroplast trnL-trnF region. We evaluated the seven taxa with the trnL-trnF region to estimate phenotypic relationships within the genera Citrus, Poncirus, and Fortunella in Korea. Alignment of the DNA sequences required the addition of numerous gaps. Sequence variation within Citrus was mostly due to insertion/deletion. Within the genus Citrus, C. lomonia and C. sinensis were relatives and sistered with C. aurantium in the four phylogenetic analyses (MP, ML, ME, and NJ). However, some external nodes were poorly supported.

  • This study analyzed the relationship between butterflies and plants. We examined 8 butterfly greenhouse. Butterflies are 5 families, 22 species found in 8 locations. Papilio xuthus, Pieris rapae, Papilio bianor etc. was expected to be introduced in the garden. Plants were identified in the 8 greenhouse with a total 249 taxa to 82 families 186 gunus 224 species 23 variety 2 forma. The main planting species were Compositae, Liliaceae, Rosaceae, Umbelliferae, Crassulaceae, Rutaceae and Etc. A main life forms are Hemicryptophytes. The naturalized plants have been identified 7 families 11 species. And planting in the garden, we propose appropriate management. Host plant is confirmed Rutaceae, Umbelliferae Leguminosae, Cruciferae, Ulmaceae, Aristolochiaceae Etc.. Main nectar plant is Compositae, Liliaceae, Rosaceae, Crassulaceae, Labiatae. Nectar plant is proposed to be planted in consideration of the flowering period. Zanthoxylum piperitum, Zanthoxylum schinifolium, Phellodendron amurense, Poncirus trifoliata, Citrus junos, Ruta graveolens proposed design reflects the woody. Spiraea(Rosaceae) and Rhododendron(Ericaceae) proposed by Nectar plants of woody. We hope to be utilized in the planning and construction of a butterfly garden.

  • Citrus aurantium var. amara L., commonly known as 'bitter orange' or 'sour orange', of the family Rutaceae, has traditionally been used in the treatment of various ailments, and it possesses different types of pharmacological properties. As a part of our on-going studies on the plantsfrom the Iranian flora, the extract of C. aurantium var. amara has been studied for its weight lossproperties using the mice model. While the Sep-Pak fraction, 20% methanol (MeOH) in water, of the hydro-methanolic extract of the peels of C. aurantium var. amara fruits, when injectedintraperitoneal (i.p.) at a dose of 10 mg/kg, significantly decreased the level of weight gain of the mice in comparison with control the group (P < 0.01), the Sep-Pak fraction 80% MeOH in water decreased the initial weight of mice by 0.44% in six weeks. The administration of the total extract(10 and 20 mg/kg, i.p.), and the Sep-Pak fractions, 40% and 60% MeOH in water (10 mg/kg, i.p.)did not show any significant change of weight of the test mice. Of the two active fractions, the80% MeOH in water fraction did not show any noticeable adverse effects on mice, and was therefore analysed by reversed-phase preparative high performance liquid chromatography resulting in the isolation and identification of four major components, two coumarins, meranzin hydrate (1) and bergamottin (2), and two flavonoids, xanthomicrol 5,4'-di-methyl ether (tangeritin, 3) and hymenoxin 5,7-di-methyl ether (nobiletin, 4).
