A mycoparasite, Scytalidium parasiticum sp. nov., isolated from the basidiomata of Ganoderma boninense causing basal stem rot of oil palm in Johor, Malaysia, is described and illustrated. It is distinct from other Scytalidium species in having smaller asci and ascospores (teleomorphic stage), longer arthroconidia (anamorphic stage), hyaline to yellowish chlamydospores, and producing a fluorescent pigment. The phylogenetic position of S. parasiticum was determined by sequence analyses of the internal transcribed spacers and the small-subunit ribosomal RNA gene regions. A key to identify Scytalidium species with teleomorphic stage is provided.

There are more than 25 species of Mentha plants, which are aromatic perennial herbs. Currently, these species are being widely used with great interest because of various clinical findings regarding their health benefits. This is due to the abundance of volatile compounds that could expedite environmental interactions such as protection against herbivores, parasites, pathogens, and so on. Therefore, in this study, the antimicrobial effect of Mentha piperita (peppermint) oil on Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Cronobacter sakazakii, and Salmonella Enteritidis were investigated using the spot-on-lawn method. The results show that Mentha piperita (peppermint) oil exhibited antimicrobial activities against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Cronobacter sakazakii; however, it did not inhibit the growth of Salmonella Enteritidis. This shows that the antimicrobial effect of Mentha piperita (peppermint) oil is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Hence, in the present study, Mentha piperita (peppermint) oil was shown to have strong antimicrobial activities; it could be used as a potential food additive for improving the quality of various milk-based products due to its various bioactive properties. Future studies should be conducted for manufacturing functional dairy products with the addition of peppermint oil to prevent and/or alleviate specific diseases.

The stability of red pepper seed oils during storage at 20${\pm}$3$^{\circ}C$, 40${\pm}$3$^{\circ}C$ and heating at 140${\pm}$3$^{\circ}C$ or 180${\pm}$3$^{\circ}C$ were measured to evaluate red pepper seed oil as a cooking oil. Two species of red pepper seeds (native, improved) were dried by either sunlight or heating to prepare the oil samples of NS (native, sunlight-dried), IS (improved, sunlight-dried), NF (native, heated), and IF (improved, heated). During storage at 20${\pm}$3$^{\circ}C$ or 40${\pm}$ 3$^{\circ}C$, acid values (AV) of all red pepper seed oils were higher than that of soy bean oil (SBO), however, peroxide values (POV) were similar to SBO. Antioxidative stability of NS was better than SBO but IF was not. By the heat treatments at 140${\pm}$3$^{\circ}C$ or 180${\pm}$3$^{\circ}C$, NS was identified to have better antioxidative stability than SBO and IF was the lowest. In sensory evaluation of each deep-fat fried potato-chip at 180${\pm}$5$^{\circ}C$, potato-chips fried in NS were better than that of SBO for color, taste, and flavor. NS-fried potato-chips got the highest score in overall acceptance (p<0.05), however, those of IF showed little acceptance. When blended oils (SBO: NOS, 0, 25, 50, 75%) were used, 50% blended oil was the best for taste, color, flavor, cripness, and total acceptance.

95종의 식용 혹은 약용식물로부터 에탄올과 물을 용매로 하여 얻은 126종의 추출물을 괌유, 돈지 및 대두유에 첨가하여 Rancimat으로 항산화 효과를 비교하였다. 항산화 효과가 인정되면서 추출 수율이 높은 민들레, 질경이, 붉나무, 택란엽, 황기, 포공영 등 6종을 1차 선발하여 각 추출물을 농도별로 실험한 결과 붉나무 추출물이 팜유 및 돈지의 유도기간을 연장시키는데 우수한 효과를 보였다. 붉나무 추출물을 팜유에 600ppm 첨가시 AI(Antioxidant index, 각 항산화제 첨가구의 유도기간을 무첨가구의 유도기간으로 나눈 값)는 1.35였고, 돈지에서는 AI가 3.03으로 돈지에 효과가 우수하였다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of Pine needle extract on lipid oxidation and free radical reaction in iron sources reacted with active oxygen species. The results were summarized as follow; The pine needle extracts didn`t show a distinct effect on reduction of lipid oxidation if the iron ion didn`t exist in oil emulsion. The pine needle extracts played role as a strong chelating agents to bind iron ion if Ferrous iron(Fe\ulcorner) exist in oil emulsion. Ferric iron(Fe) was lower effect than Ferrous iron(Fe) on free radical reaction in oil emulsion. And also, the Fe\ulcorner reacted with pine needle extract did not show distinct effect on free radical reaction, compared to Fe\ulcorner reacted with pine needle extract. And also, Pine needle extracts reacted with H\ulcornerO\ulcorner were tended to show a low oxygen scavenging ability in case of H\ulcornerO\ulcorner only was existed, compared to those of H\ulcornerO\ulcorner + Fe\ulcorner complex. Pine needle extracts were the most powerful Fe\ulcorner binding agents, compared to other strong synthetic antioxidants such as EDTA and DTPA.

Oil spills have occurred throughout the years of industrialization and represent a global challenge as they affect vast areas of the ocean. The toxicity of crude oil to aquatic organisms has been extensively investigated, but the potential impacts of crude oil on vertebrate development remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated the effects of dispersants used in treating a recent oil spill, as well as that of crude oil, on vertebrates by using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model species, which has been widely used in empirical studies of both early embryonic development and adult physiology. Chronic exposure to crude oil resulted in marked developmental abnormalities, including pericardial edema, abnormal trunk vessel development, retardation of axonal branching, and abnormal jaw development. Embryonic development was affected more severely by exposure to the oil-dispersant combination than to the oil alone. Thus, the zebrafish in vivo model system suggests that dispersant treatment can have detrimental developmental effects on vertebrates and its potential impact on marine life, as well as humans, should be carefully considered in clean-up efforts at the site of an oil spill.

Seed protein and oil content is important trait in the soybean. Both seed protein and oil content in this plant species is inherited quantitatively. A 68-plant $F_2$ segregation population derived from a mating between Mercury and PI 467.468 was evaluated with random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers to identify QTL related to seed protein and oil content. Marker OPB12 was found to be associated with differences in seed protein content. Four markers, OPA09b, OPM07b, OPC14, and OPN11b had highly significant effects on seed oil content. By interval mapping, the interval between marker OPK3c and OPQ1b on linkage group 13 contained a QTL that explained 25.7% variation for seed oil content.

The chemical characteristics of seed oils of Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) at different ages grown in Korea (3, 4 and 5-year old) and China (5-year old), and American ginseng (Panax quinquefoliu L., 5-year old) grown in China were compared. Total fatty acid composition showed a significantly higher oleic acid content in American (87.50%) than in Korean (68.02~69.14%) and Chinese ginseng seed oils (61.19%). At the sn-2 position, the highest oleic acid (81.09%) and lowest linoleic acid (15.77%) were found in American ginseng seed oil. The main triacylglycerol species in ginseng seed oils were triolein (OOO) and 1,2-dioleoyl-3-linoleoyl-glycerol (LOO)/1,3-dioleoyl-2-linoleoyl-glycerol (OLO). In addition, the seed oils possessed an ideal oxidative stability showing 16.55~23.12 hr of induction time by Rancimat test. The results revealed that ginseng seed oil could be developed as a new healthy edible oil, and that the oil's chemical characteristics were strongly associated with the ginseng species and habitats.

삽주(Atractylodes japonica Koidz. ex Kitam.)와 큰꽃삽주(A. macrocephala Koida.)의 근경 과 측근, 줄기, 잎과 엽병, 자방, 잎의 표피 세포의 형태와 크기에 관한 해부학적형질을 조사하여 이들의 분류학적 가치를 평가하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 줄기와 자방의 횡단면 구조는 매우 유사하여 두 종이 구분되지 않았으나, 근경에 분포하는 유관의 크기와 단위면적 당 분포수, 잎과 엽병의 횡단면 형태, 잎 표피 세포의 크기와 기공의 단위 면적당 분포수에서 차이가 있어 두 종을 구별하는 형질로서 가치가 있는 것으로 생각되었다.

사철쑥에 함유되어 있는 천연 화학물질이 다른 식물에 미치는 효과를 구명하기 위하여 실험식물의 종자발아와 생장실험을 수행하고 사철쑥의 화학성분을 분석했으며, 그 성분과 동일한 시약으로 생물학적 정량을 실시하였다. 사철쑥의 수용추출액에 의한 발아율은 실새풀, 이고들빼기와 왕고들빼기는 수용추출액의 농도가 증가함에 따라 비례적으로 감소했으나, 그러나 코스모스와 익모초는 70% 실험구와 100%, 10%구와 30%에서 서로 반대로 나타났다. 유식물의 건중량은 추출액의 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소현상이 뚜렷하였다. 사철쑥의 정유의 농도에 따라 쑥과 질경이는 정유농도가 증가함에 따라 생장은 억제되었고 유근보다 유묘에서 더욱 확실하였다. GC로 사철쑥의 정유를 분석하여 36종류의 화학물질을 분리확인하였고 이들중 7종류를 선정하여 생물학적 정량을 실시한 결과 terpinen-4-ol이 가장 강한 억제작용이 있었다.
