  • 가로수용 무궁화를 만들기 위한 무궁화 수행유도 실험에서 무궁화의 지하고를 100cm, 150cm, 200cm로 하고 시비를 달리한 결과, 각각의 근원경 평균이 15.7mm, 13.8mm, 10.8mm로 지하고가 낮을수록 근원경의 생장이 우수하였으며, 분산분석의 결과도 지하고에 따른 영향이 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 시비에 따른 영향은 유의하지 않았다. 또한 가로수로 식재하여 '99년부터 2000년까지 2년 동안 조사한 결과는 지하고 80~120cm, 121~150cm, 151-200cm에서 각각의 근원경 평균이 4.9mm, 4.5mm, 3.0mm의 값을 나타내 지하고 80~120cm, 121~150cm의 근원경 생장이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 앞으로 가로수용으로 무궁화를 육성하가 위해서는 먼저 수고와 지하고를 고려하는 것이 타당한 것으로 본 실험의 결과에서 나타났다. 그러나 본 실험의 결과는 짧은 기간의 시험에 의한 것이므로 앞으로 계속하여 관찰 연구하여 보완하고자 한다.

  • A rapid and efficient in vitro regeneration system was established for Hibiscus syriacus L. The successful regeneration protocol employs induction of shoot organogenesis on leaf, petiole, and root explants. Among the various plant growth regulators evaluated, thidiazuron (TDZ) was the most effective for inducing rapid shoot formation. Most efficient shoot regeneration frequency was obtained from Murashige and Skoog (MS) media containing 0.01 mg/L TDZ. Regeneration efficiency was highest in the roots, and lowest in the leaves. A combination of 0.01 mg/L TDZ with benzyladenine (BAP) markedly improved the frequency of shoot differentiation from the root (up to 98%) and petiole (up to 88%) explants. Furthermore, leaf and petiole explants showed the highest frequency of shoot induction in half-strength MS media containing 0.01 mg/L TDZ and 1.0 mg/L BAP, while root explants formed the greatest number of shoots when 0.01 mg/L TDZ and 0.1 mg/L BAP were added to half-strength MS media. Although the frequency of shoot differentiation from leaf explants was only 50%, the leaf is considered the most efficient plant organ for use in tissue culture because leaves are easier to obtain than roots and petioles. Our findings show that various organs of H. syriacus can be used for plant regeneration, and the protocol developed in this study may be applicable in the horticulture industry.

  • The study on the major insect pests community of Hibiscus syriacus. There were three orders, seven families, and thirteen species of insects harmful to H. syriacus. When the harmful insects eating H. syriacus were classified according to which part of the flower they were eating, insects eating leaves, which considered of nine species four families and one order, accounted for 69.23 %. Insects sucking juice from leaves and stems comprised 15.38 %, with two species two families and two orders, while insects eating seeds comprised 15.38 %, with two species two families and two orders. Aphis gossypii appeared once per H. syriacus from the fourth week of April to the second week of June, appearing the most at a rate of 69.05 per H. syriacus during the first week of May. Dichocrocis surusalis appeared at a rate of 0.05 per H. syriacus during the third week of April and regularly appeared from the first week of July to the second week of September. Nortacha derogata appeared at a rate of 0.1 per tree during the first week of May, after which it continuously appeared until the third week of October. Anomis privata appeared at a rate of 0.05 per tree during the first week of May and continuously occurred from the fourth week of June to the fourth week of October. Its occurrence was most frequent at 2.30 per tree during the third week of September.

  • Photosensitized peroxidation of membrane lipids has been implicated in skin pathologies such as phototoxicity and premature aging. We have previously reported that syriacusin compounds isolated from Hibiscus Syriacus inhibited lipid peroxidation. Here, we investigated whether syriacusins could be effective inhibitor to skin aging using ultraviolet-irradiated human dermal fibroblast cells (HDFCs). Syriacusins A, B, and C inhibit the activity of human neutrophil elastase (HNE), a serine protease to degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins including elastin, with $IC_{50}s$ of 8.0, 5.2, and $6.1\;{\mu}M$, respectively. No changes in cell viability were detected by syriacusins A and B in UV-B ($10\;mJ/cm^2$) irradiated HDFCs. Matrix metallo-proteinase (MMP)-1 expression in HDFCs was increased by UV-B irradiation. MMP-1 expression in UV-B irradiated HDFCs was decreased by $10\;{\mu}M$ and $20\;{\mu}M$ syriacusin A to 50% and 20% of untreated control, respectively. Syriacusin B treated with $20\;{\mu}M$ reduced MMP-1 expression in UV-B irradiated HDFCs to 60% of untreated control. Syriacusin A also inhibited MMP-2 expression accompanying the increase of type-I pro-collagen in UV-B irradiated HDFCs. These results demonstrate that syriacusin A could be a more effective compound to inhibit skin aging caused by UV irradiation. It suggests that syriacusins A and B might be developed as possible agents to treat or prevent skin aging.

  • In order to elucidate the relationship between anti-HIV-1 enzyme activity and inhibition of HIV-1 replication by natural sources, extracts from some plants using the foods and oriental medicines were tested for inhibitory effects on the viral replication, reverse transcriptase (RT), protease and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$. In the anti-RT test, water extracts of Ficus carica (leaf), Houttuynia cordata (aerial part) and Ixeris tamagawaensis (aerial part) showed more than 79% inhitibion at a concentration of $100\;{\mu}g/ml$. The protease and ${\alpha}-glucosidase-inhibiting$ samples in the screening were water extract of Syringa dilatata (leaf) and methanol extract of Hibiscus syriacus (leaf and stem), which showed more than 40% inhibition at a concentration of $100\;{\mu}g/ml$. In the primary anti-HIV-1 test, water extracts of Equisetum arvense (aerial part), Hibiscus syriacus (leaf), Ixeris tamagawaensis (aerial part) and Pueraira thunbergiana (leaf) showed the potent inhibition against HIV-1 induced cytopathic effects.
