The Hyoscyamus niger hyoscyamine $6{\beta}-hydroxylase$ (H6H, EC 1.14.11.11) gene was introduced into the genome of a Scopolia parviflora by the binary vector system using the disarmed Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain KCTC 2703. Expression of H6H enzyme which are involved in alkaloids pathway by western blot analysis using proteins extracted from leaf, stem flower, branch root and main root were examined The enzyme expression was found only in the roots, with no expression in leaf, stem and flower. The alkaloids contents were the most higher in root and then leaf and stem has very small amount of alkaloid contents were analyzed by HPLC. The expression level of H6H in transgenic plants were two or more times than wild type plants. In transgenic plant which constitutively expresses H6H enzyme, high concentration of scopolamine was accumulated.

This experiment was carried out to study in stomatal behaviour of wheat (Chokwang) upon the different soil water potentials, lodging and two different nitrogen treatment. Stomatal aperture was measured at flowering stage under diurnal course with two hour intervals, Stomatal apertures were differently changed according to soil water potentials and leaf position on the stem, showing the rapid closure of stomata at low soil water potential and the narrow opening at low leaf position of stem. Wider stomatal opening appeared at the plot of optimal nitrogen application than that of low nitrogen. It was greatly decreased in opening of stomata at plants lodged, appearing that plant investigated of six days after lodging showed less than 50% than that normal plants, which indicated peculiar decrease of low leaf position of stem at afternoon of diurnal course.

The purpose of this work is to investigate the effects of picking leaves in autumn on the non-budding and survival of grafting. The results are as follows. 1) The leaf picking in autumn causes an increase of the non-budding ratio in the following spring. When tue whole leaves picking is compared with the control, the non-budding ratio increases 46 percent. In case of tone leaves on a single stem are picked in various tray, the non-budding ratio of picked portion is higher than that of non-picked. 2) The leaf picking in autumn with winter bud being grafted on stock in the next spring, decrease the survival of grafting. In case some leaves on a single stem are picked in various way, the winter bud of picked part is always poor in survival. 3) In the event of leavf picking in autumn, the yield always decreases 7∼20 percent, especially this phenomenon becomes serious in the under half part of the stem(20%) and whole leaves picking(12％) treatments.

This study systemically analyzed the data on the microbial levels in fresh vegetables in Korea to identify the points to control. We scanned the studies published between 2001 and 2015 in peer-reviewed research papers on the microbial levels in fresh vegetables produced in Korea. Plant products were categorized by using the US IFSAC (Interagency Food Safety Analytics Collaboration) category. The most consumed, the non-heat treated, the epidemiological foodborne diseases sources of fresh vegetable in foodservice (KCDC data) were identified by literature review. Articles were screened using National Digital Science Library (NDSL) search engine regarding to microbial hazards in plant products. Based on the total plate count number and coliforms on the 89 data cases from 26 published articles, the total plate count number was high in the order of sprouts, leaf and stem, bulbs and roots, vine-grown, solanaceous, melons, and pome. Escherichia coli was frequently detected in leaf and stem and sprouts products. Focused on the microbial data of leek, lettuce and cabbage, the levels of total plate count, coliforms and Bacillus cereus showed the levels of 4.15~7.69 log CFU/g, 1~6.99 log CFU/g, and 0.51~3.9 log CFU/g, respectively, by 33 published papers. The levels of environmental factors affecting the microbial safety of lettuce and leek before harvest were investigated. Manure, soil, hands, scale, gloves were the major potential microbial contamination points to control. In addition, GAP (good agricultural practice), microbial testing, and improvement of irrigation methods are required to provide the safer fresh produce.

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) has been shown to play an important role in the development of the diabetic complications. The AGEs inhibitors or cross-link breakers attenuate various functional and structural manifestations of diabetic complications. In this study, 69 China herbal medicines have been investigated with an in vitro evaluation system using AGEs inhibitory activity. Of these, 28 herbal medicines $IC_{50}$=<50 ${\mu}g/ml$) were found to have stronger AGEs inhibitory activity compared with aminoguanidine ($IC_{50}$=59.77 ${\mu}g/ml$). Particularly, 5 herbal medicines, Camptotheca acuminata (stem, leaf), Eurya groffii (stem, leaf), Cornus Capitata (leaf), Mucuna birdwoodiana (root), Nelumbo nucifera (fruit, seed) showed more potent inhibitory activity (approximately 6-27 fold) than the positive control aminoguanidine.

This study was performed to elucidate anticancer activities of various parts, such as peel, flesh, placenta, seed, stalk and stem leaf of oriental melon. Chemopreventive and anticancer effects of oriental melon extract were evaluated by detoxifying enzyme, quinone reductase (QR) inductive activity, cytotoxicity and growth inhibitory effect against hepatoma cell. Stalk and stem leaf extracts of oriental melon showed the increment of QR inductive activity with dose-dependent manner and induced quinone reductase 3.9, 1.5-fold at $200{\mu}g/mL$ respectively compared to control. The growth inhibitory effect of oriental melon extract against mouse hepatoma cell (Hepa1c1c7) was investigated by crystal violet (CV) assay. Stalk and stem leaf of oriental melon showed potent growth inhibitory effect. Based on these result, the growth inhibitory effects of stalk, stem leaf at various concentration were examined in detail by MTT assay using human hepatoma cancer cell (HepG2). All of two parts showed growth inhibitory effects and expecially stalk exhibited inhibitory effect of 60.3% at maximum concentration. The above results suggest that stalk of oriental melon has a possibility as a source of natural cancer chemopreventive materials.

This study was carried out to investigate the volatile constituents change according to extraction methods, parts and heating methods. The research results are as follows: 23 kinds of components were extracted by steam distillation method; 8 by head space method; 16 by ether extraction method; 9 by Tenax-GC. This fact indicated that volatile constituents differ depending upon the extracting method. When the volatile constituents were extracted by steam distillation method and analyzed by GC-MSD, the content of the volatile constituents was 41.71 mg％ in the stem and 85.37 mg％ in the leaf. A total of 23 components - 14 kinds of hydrocarbon, 5 of aldehyde, 4 of alcohol- were detected in the stem. A total of 31 components - 21 kinds of hydrocarbon, 5 of aldehyde, 4 of alcohol and 1 of ester were detected in the leaf. The leaf had comparatively more varied volatile constituents than the stem. In the stem, the octanal content was highest and the contents of limonene, sabinene, -terpinene and -myrcene were higher; in the leaf, the content of octanal was highest and the contents of isobicyclogermacrene, limonene, -farnesene, undecaethiol, -terpinene, sabinene, elemene, -myrcen were higher. These were the major volatile constituents of the water d.opwort. The volatile constituent formation changed as the water dropwort was heated. The volatile constituents of the water dropwort heated in 1000 $m\ell$ were the most similiar to those of the raw water dropwort, and volatile constituent content was highest.

This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of soil moisture content and planting depth on the growth of 2-year old ginseng plant. The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. When the ginseng seedlings were planted in soil by 4 to 5cm in depth, the length of leaflet and stem and the number of branch roots were significantly decreased but the stem diameter was increased. 2. Highly significant quadratic regressions were shown between soil moisture content and the growth of the stem, leaf and root of the ginseng plant. 3. Estimated amount of soil moisture for the maximum growth of the stem was 75% of field capacity, and that for length and width of the leaflet was about 65 to 66% of field capacity. Estimated soil moisture for the maximum growth of the root was about 56 to 58% of field capacity and that for increase in root weight was about 60 to 61% of field capacity. 4. Estimated soil moisture content for best growth of ginseng roots was 1 to 5% lower when the seedling was planted in 3cm depth compared with 2cm in depth. And when the amount of soil moisture was 31% of field capacity, the deep planting was adequate for good root growth. 5. Significant correlations were resulted between the dry weight of roots and the leaf length, the leaf width and the dry weight of stem and leaves. And also, significant correlations were obtained between the ratio of root dry weight to root fresh weight and the stem length, the leaf length, the leaf width and the dry weight of stem and leaves.

The optimal condition of in vitro regeneration and transformation were investigated for newly bred potato varieties in Korea. Leaf and internodal stem tissues of 'Chubak', 'Namsuh', 'Jasim', 'Jopung' and 'Jowon' were used to investigate the influence of growth regulator on regeneration efficiency The effect of phenolic compound acetosyringone on gene transformation efficiency was also investigated. Leaf tissue of 'Jowon' and internodal stem tissues of 'Jopung' were showed high regeneration efficiency on M5 medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L GA₃, 2.0 mg/L Zeatin and 0.01 mg/L NAA. The other three potato cultivars were showed low regeneration efficiency less than 25%. The effect of acetosyringone on Agrobacterium-mediated gene transformation with leaf and internodal stem tissues were noticeable. By adding the 75 μM of acetosyringone during the Agrobacterium innoculation, the transformation efficiency was increased up to 1.5∼4.0 fold compare to non-treated control. In case of 'Jowon' the transformation efficiency was 87.9% in leaf tissue and 'Jopung' was 68.4% in internodal stem tissues.

Korean local and introduced varieties were classified by the cluster analysis of correlation and taxonomic distance based on nineteen growth characters. 1. Thirty six varieties can be classified into three groups(I, II, III) by WVGM (weighted variable group method) 2. Major characters for classifying cultivars were days to flowering, number of leaves, leaf length, stem diameter and width of midrib: the five characters seemed to be useful in monothetic classification. 3. Korean varieties were similar to oriental, and japanese varieties to taiwan. 4. WVGM was more accurate and meaningful than classification by WPGM (weighted paired group method) and reticulate diagram of correlation. 5. Characteristics of each group: Group I closely related to many leaves, late of maturity and broad leaf type, Group II related to medium leaves, late of maturity and narrow leaf type, Croup 19 related to few leaves, early of maturity and medium leaf type respectively.
