A pathogenic fungus causing balloon flower root rot (Platycodon grandiflorum) was isolated from naturally infected roots. The microbial characteristics of the isolated microorganism were similar to those of Rhizoctonia solani. About 500 bacterial species from field soils were screened for a biological agent against the above-mentioned putative pathogen, and several bacteria with the antifungal activity were isolated. Among them, the isolated JS2 was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This strain showed a broad spectrum of antifungal activity potentially. When the antifungal substance was purified from a broth culture of JS2, it was identified as 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (Phl).

Balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorum) is one of minor crops in Korea. Only four ACCase inhibiting herbicides are registered for P. grandiflorum and the farmers usually use general but unregistered herbicides which can cause critical phytotoxicity. So, this study was conducted to investigate effects of alachlor and pendimethalin on germination and early growth of P. grandiflorum. To evaluate the effect of alachlor and pendimethalin, two herbicides were treated to the seeds in petri-dish and soil. In the petri-dish, alachlor completely inhibited the germination as well as pendimethalin inhibited the germination slightly but not significantly. In case of soil application, alachlor inhibited germination and plant height of P. grandiflorum significantly as well as pendimethalin inhibited plant height and root length significantly. We showed the possibility of phytotoxicity of alachlor and pendimethalin to P. grandiflorum and strongly suggest that two herbicides should not be used to the cultivation of P. grandiflorum. Unregistered herbicides should not be used for weed management and additional researches for screening of safe herbicide to minor crops should be conducted as soon as possible.

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play a pivotal role in epigenetic regulation, affecting the structure of chromatin and gene expression across different stages of plant development and in response to environmental stresses. Although the role of HDACs in Arabidopsis and rice has been focused on in extensive research, the role of the HDAC gene family in various medicinal plants remains unclear. In the genome of the balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorus), we identified 10 putative P. grandiflorus HDAC (PlgHDAC) proteins, which were classified into the three families (RPD3/HDA1, SIR2, and HD2 HDAC families) based on their domain compositions. These HDACs were predicted to be localized in various cellular compartments, indicating that they have diverse functions. In addition, the tissue-specific expression profiles of PlgHDACs differed across different plant tissues, indicating that they are involved in various developmental processes. Furthermore, the expression levels of all PlgHDACs were upregulated in leaves after waterlogging treatment, implying their potential role in coping with waterlogging-induced stress. Overall, our findings provide a comprehensive foundation for further research into the epigenetic regulation of PlgHDACs, and particularly, on their functions in response to environmental stresses such as waterlogging. Understanding the roles of these HDACs in the development and stress responses of balloon flower could have significant implications for improving crop yield and the quality of this important medicinal plant.

The Platycodon grandiflorum (balloon flower) has been used as food material and traditional medicine in Asia. The roots have been used in traditional medicine to treat coughs, upper respiratory infections, and sore throats. Using 1,603 valid patents from 6 countries, we analyzed the patent trend based on year, countries, applicants, and technology. The technologies are categorized into 6 groups which include material, additives, manufacture, cultivation, breeding and seed. The technology competitiveness of countries were analyzed with quantitative factors such as cites per patent, patent impact index, patent family size and technology strength. In comparison with other countries in the patent index, South Korea shows an increasing trend in patent numbers and total leverage ability, although the individual technology is lower than Japan and USA. Our study provides information on technical trend to support the performance of new projects on balloon flower.

6가지 천연 식물 추출물의 첨가가 반추동물의 메탄 감소에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 반추위액은 cannula가 장착된 한우에서 채취하였으며, 공시축의 사양관리는 timothy와 농후사료 6:4 비율로 급여하였다. 50 ml serum bottle에 timothy 0.3 g, 반추위액 5 ml, McDougall's buffer 10 ml를 각각 넣고 인삼, 도라지, 유카식물, 동백나무, 차나무, 오갈피 추출물을 기질의 5%를 첨가한 뒤 발효시간대별(3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, 및 72시간) 7처리 3반복 수행하였다. pH는 6.55~7.41로 반추위 적정 pH 범위에 속하였다. 건물소화율은 첨가구에서 대조구에 비해 유의적(P<0.05)인 차이가 없었다. 총 가스 발생량은 발효 24시간대 인삼, 도라지 첨가구에서 대조구에 비해 유의적(P<0.05)으로 증가하였다. 이산화탄소 발생량은 발효 9시간대, 메탄 발생량은 6시간대에서 첨가구와 대조구간 유의적(P<0.05)인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 미생물성장량은 발효 12시간대 인삼, 도라지 첨가구에서 대조구에 비해 유의적(P<0.05)으로 증가하였고, 발효 24시간대 인삼, 유카식물, 차나무, 오갈피 첨가구에서 대조구에 비해 유의적(P<0.05)으로 증가하였다. Total VFA 농도는 발효 12시간 차나무, 오갈피 첨가구에서 대조구에 비해 유의적(P<0.05)으로 증가하였고, 발효 48시간 인삼, 도라지 첨가구에서 대조구에 비해 유의적(P<0.05)으로 증가하였다. Acetate 농도는 발효 24시간 인삼, 도라지 첨가구에서 대조구에 비해 유의적(P<0.05)으로 감소하였고, propionate 농도는 발효 48시간 인삼, 도라지 첨가구에서 대조구에 비해 유의적(P<0.05)으로 증가하였다. 결과적으로 6가지 천연식물 추출물의 첨가는 in vitro 반추위 발효성상에는 이상이 없었으나 메탄 감소의 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 추후 6가지 천연 식물 추출물의 농도를 달리하여 추가적인 시험이 필요할 것으로 사료 된다.

도라지는 초롱꽃과에 속하는 채소용 또는 약용으로 그 생산량이 해마다 증가하는 추세에 있다. 특히 국내의 경남지역에서는 토종도라지의 보존과 육성을 위한 정책을 추진하고 있고 도라지의 단가도 급등함에 따라 그 재배면적이 크게 증가하였다. 본 연구에서는 토종 도라지의 순계를 보존하기 위한 조직배양 기술의 확립과 함께 분자생물학적 기술을 이용한 토종 도라지의 판별 기술을 개발하기 위한 기초연구를 수행하였다. 먼저 경남지역과 충남아산시 등의 야산에서 채종하여 수 십년간 자가 채종하여 재배하여온 농가에서 수집한 종자를 중심으로 5종의 primer를 이용하여 RAPD분석을 수행한 결과 총 48개의 밴드를 생산하였으며, 이중 21개 밴드는 다형성을 보이는 밴드로 40.3%의 다형성을 나타내었다. 특히 primer HD3는 총 13개의 밴드 중 10개가 계통간 다형성을 보여서 76.9%의 높은 다형성빈도를 보였다. 향후 핵 DNA 보다는 핵외 DNA를 이용한 SNP 마커의 확보 등 보다 진보된 기술을 이용한 보완연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 사료되었다.

약용식물 중 잔류농약의 안전성을 평가하고자 2012년 전국 9개 도시에서 유통되고 있는 인삼과 도라지에 대하여 전체 112점의 시료를 수거하여 잔류농약을 분석하였다. 122종의 농약에 대해 GC-ECD, GC-NPD 및 HPLC-UVD를 이용한 다종농약 다성분 분석법으로 잔류농약을 분석하였고, 분석 결과 12점의 시료에서 7종의 농약이 검출되어 10.7% 검출률을 보였다. 농약 성분별 검출 빈도는 procymidone, kresoxim-methyl, endosulfan, cypermethrin, tralomethrin, tetraconazole, chlorfluazuron 순이었다. 농약이 검출된 시료 중 잔류허용기준을 초과한 시료는 2점으로 1.8% 검출률을 보였으며, 도라지 1점에서 tetraconazole, 인삼 1점에서 cypermethrin이 검출되었다. 해당 작물에 대한 잔류허용기준이 설정되어 있지 않거나 품목고시 되어 있지 않은 시료는 10점에서 5종의 농약이 검출되어 8.9% 검출률을 보였다. 본 연구에서 검출된 농약이 해당 약용 식물의 섭취로 인체에 유입될 일일섭취허용량 대비 일일 섭취추정량은 최저 0.006%에서 최고 0.333%로 낮은 %ADI 값을 보여 인체 위해도는 낮은 것으로 판단되었다.

This study was carried out to strengthen productivity and employee management through the development of simple pre-processed foods based on Hansik (Korean foods) and to investigate the utilization of fresh vegetable menus, pretreatment, and cooking time in the preparation of vegetable side dishes. The reasons for not using pretreated foods were increased cost, required product size is not available, and not hygienic. The acceptable rate of increase in cost when purchasing simple pre-processed foods was under 10%. The expected developed products of simple pre-processed vegetable foods were balloon flower root salad, seasoned green vegetables, and sheredded white radish. The expected developed products of simple mixed vegetable pre-processed foods were deodeok+balloon flower root and white radish+pear. Based on these findings, to increase the utilization of simple preprocessed foods, development of various product sizes and sauces is needed, cost must be reduced, and hygiene improved.

Platycodon grandiflorum root (Platycodi radix) saponins, platycosides, have been used as health supplements and food items for the treatment of respiratory disorders and pulmonary diseases. Deglycosylated saponins have been known to exert stronger biological effects than their glycosylated forms. In the present study, glycosylated platycosides in Platycodi radix extract were biotransformed into deglycosylated 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platycosides, including 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platycodigenin, 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl polygalacic acid, and 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platyconic acid, by pectinase from Aspergillus aculeatus. This is the first report on the quantitative enzymatic production of 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platycosides. The chemical structures of 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platycosides were identified with LC/MS. Moreover, the biotransformation pathways of the three types of platycosides in Platycodi radix into 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platycosides were established.
