인삼엽소병(leaf-burning disease) 원인과 light-harvesting chlorophyll-protein(LHCP) complex의 solar energy 분배능력과의 상호 연관성을 조사하기 위한 기초 연구로써 인삼 thylakoid의 chlorophyll-protein(CP) complex의 조성 및 특징을 조사하였다. 인삼의 CP-complex는 non-denaturing SDS-PAGE 방법에 의해 4개 bands로 분리되었으며 각 band는 Bassi와 Dunahay의 결과에 따라 CPI(PSI의 reaction center와 LHCP I antennae), CP I(PSI reaction center), LHCP II(LHCP II)의 oligoform), 그리고 LHCP II(PS II antennae; CP29, CP26)로 확인되었다. 인삼의 LHCP II 는 양지식물인 spinach, soybean과 비교해 볼 때 오히려 인삼의 band intensity가 더 높았으며, CP I band는 인삼에서만 분리되었다. 인삼 CP-complex band의 absorption 및 fluorescence spectra, chlorophyll a.b ratio 에서도 비교식물과 차이를 나타내었다. Thylakoid membrane의 polypeptide 함량은 인삼에서 비교식물에 비해 현저히 낮은 polypeptide 함량은을 나타내었다. SDS-PAGE에 의한 polypeptide pattern은 band의 수나 band intensity에서 비교식물과 차이를 나타내었으며, 특히 29-35 kD, 55 kD과 60 kD 근치에서 현저한 band intensity 차이를 확인하였다. Specific $^1O_2$에 의해 chl. a가 60%, chl.b는 90%, 그리고 carotenoid는 70%가 파괴되는 것으로 확인되었다.

본 연구는 친환경 유기농 살균제로 사용되고 있는 유황자재의 인삼탄저병 방제에 대한 효과와 약해가 발생하지 않는 적정 함량을 조사하는데 목적을 두고 있다. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides균에 의해서 발생하는 탄저병은 인삼의 수확량을 급격하게 감소시키는 파괴적인 병이다. 0.06% 황토유황합제와 0.13% 발효황토유황합제를 2년근 인삼에 처리를 했을 때 어떤 약해현상을 찾아 볼 수 없었다. 친환경자재의 치료효과를 알아보기 위해 탄저균을 접종 후에 다양한 친환경자재들을 처리했다. 석회유황합제(400배액)이 가장 높은 방제효과를 보였고 그다음은 발효황토유황합제(20배액), 발효황토유황합제(40배액), 석회유황합제(400배액) 순으로 높았다. 반면에 예방효과를 측정하기 위해서 병원균 접종 전 친환경자재들을 먼저 처리를 했다. 이 경우에는 발효황토유황합제(40배액)이 가장 높은 방제를 보였고 또한 대조구로 사용했던 기존농약과 비슷한 방제효과를 보였다. 그러므로 발효황토유황합제는 인삼탄저병을 방제하는 친환경 살균제로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 생각 된다.

Background: A soil-borne pathogenic fungus, Ilyonectria radicicola (Cylindrocarpon destructans) causes root rot on ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) and is known to attack many other plants. The Nectria/Neonectria radicicola complex has been renamed as the I. radicicola complex after analysis of its multi-gene relatedness and morphological characteristics. The fungi in this complex have been reclassified into 16 species under the genus Ilyonectria based on characteristics analysis Methods and Results: To obtain useful data from the Korean ginseng root rot, I. radicicola was isolated from the rhizosphere soils of the chestnut tree. They were identified through a pathogenicity test and a survey of the morphological features. The existence of I. radicicola in soil samples was confirmed by PCR detections using nested PCR with species-specific primer sets. These were subsequenctly isolated on semi-selective media from PCR-positive soils. Genetic analysis of the I. radicicola complex containing these pathogens was done by comparing the DNA sequences of the histone h3 region. These isolates originating from the rhizosphere soils of chestnut constituted a clade with other closely related species or I. radicicola isolates originating from ginseng or other host plants, respectively. Additionally, the pathogenicity tests to analyze the characteristics of these I. radicicola isolates revealed that they caused weakly virulent root rot on ginseng. Conclusions: This is the first study reporting that I. radicicola isolates from chestnut rhizosphere soils can attack ginseng plant in Korea. Thus, these results are expected to provide informations in the selection of suitable fields for ginseng cultivation.

The formation of thylakoid membrane proteins and changes in the chloroplast ultrastructure of ginseng leaf were investigated as a function of time following the leaf emergence. The leaf chloroplast obtained just after the leaf emergence showed short rod-like thylakoids which were connected and arranged in 3~4 layers along the longitudinal axis of the chloroplast. The 10 DAE (days after emergence) chloroplast started to form grana structure. The typical grana structure was observed 17 DAE, and the grana was fully developed 28 DAE. The membrane proteins obtained from just after emerging leaf were separated into many minor bands indicating no CP-complex formation yet. LHC II was detected after 10 days. CP 47 and CP 43 were detected after 17 days. After 28 days, the PS I and PS II proteins were distinctly separated into CP 1, LHC II, CP 47, CP 43, CP 29, CP 27+24. Thus, the appearance of the light harvesting protein, LHC II, which was concentrated in grana stacks, was consis tent in time with the formation of grana stacks 17 DAE. Key words Chloroplast ultrastructure, grana, CP-complex, LHC II.

Objective: Physical inactivity contributes to mortality rates and is now the fourth most frequent cause of death worldwide. Red ginseng is a medicinal herb that is often used as an ergogenic aid. In this study, red ginseng was administered to rats to test whether it affected their ability to exercise. Methods: Forty-five rats were randomly distributed and divided into five groups: normal (N, n=5), control (C, n=10), the group to which only red ginseng was administered (H, n=10), the group to which only amino acid complex was administered (A, n=10), and the group to which both red ginseng and amino acid complex were administered (HA, n=10). Once a day for three weeks, 333.3 mg/kg body weight per day (b.w./day) of red ginseng and 750 mg/kg b.w./day of amino acid preparation were administered to rats. After three weeks, body weight, swimming time, and the weight of the anterior tibialis muscle of rat were measured. Blood was taken for analysis using the cardiac puncture method. Results: The swimming time of group H (921.3±199.26 sec) showed significant improvement compared to that of group C (798.48±156.37 sec) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Red ginseng has improved swimming time in rat and can be used as an effective ergogenic aid.

In this study, the effects of red ginseng components [ginsenosides (total saponins and $Rg_1$) on the function of ryanodine receptor (RyR) -$Ca^{2+}$ release channel complex protein (named as RyR or $Ca^{2+}$ channel), a membrane protein in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of rabbit skeletal muscle were examined at the SR vesicle's level and the molecular levels with Chaps-solubilized and purified $Ca^{2+}$ channel protein and with reconstituted proteoliposomes by dialysis. The results were as follows. 1. The binding of ryanodine known as inhibitor of muscle contraction to the RyR was decreased at the whole range of concentration ($10^2$~$10^7$%) by these two ginseng components. In heavy SR vesicles, Chaps-solubilized and purified $Ca^{2+}$ channel protein, and reconstituted vesicles, its maximal inhibition by total saponins was shown at the concentration of $10^3$, $10^3$%, and $10^5$% respectively, and by gin- senoside $Rg_1}$) each was $10^3$%, $10^3$%, and $10^4$%. 2. The release of $Ca^{2+}$ ion through $Ca^{2+}$ channel in heavy SR vesicles and reconstituted proteoliposomes was increased as a whole by these two ginseng components, and particularly maximal release by both of them was shown at the range of $10^4$~$10^6$%. These results were seemed to be caused by conformational change of $Ca^{2+}$ release channel protein (RyR) by red ginseng components [ginsenosides (total saponins and $Rg_1}$).

Effects of dammarane glycosides of Panax ginseng on primary cultured chicken embryonic brain cells were studied by microscopic observation and determination of the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC). Brain cells were prepared from the brain of 10-day-old chicken embryo and cultured with either a standard medium consisted of 85% Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), 10% horse serum and 5% chicken embryonic extracts or a deficient medium consisted of 90% DMEM and 10% horse serum. It was observed that dammarane glycosides of Panax ginseng seemed to show the tendency to stimulate the neurite outgrowth of brain cells which were cultured with a deficient medium under microscopic observation. The activity of PDHC in brain cells cultured with a deficient medium was increased by dammarane glycosides of Panax ginseng.
