To understand the seed characteristics among cultivated types of Perilla crop and their weedy types in Korea and Japan, we studied the variation of 69 accessions by examining weight of 100 seeds, hardness of seed, germination percent and germination energy. The survey of the weight of 100 seeds and hardness of seed, clarified as follows; cultivated type of var. frutescens showed a range of 0.177 to 0.402 g with weight of 100 seeds, and most accessions of cultivated type of var. frutescens have soft seeds, except for several accessions, which have hard seeds, whereas weedy type of var. frutescens showed a range of 0.045 to 0.172 g with weight of 100 seeds, and has only hard seeds. While cultivated type of var. crispa showed a range of 0.054 to 0.101 g with weight of 100 seeds, and has only hard seeds. The weedy type of var. crispa showed a range of 0.059 to 0.135 g with weight of 100 seeds, and has only hard seeds. According to the result of germination tests, although the most accessions of cultivated and weedy types of var. frutescens and cultivated and weedy types of var. crispa showed below 50% germination rate at the first germination test, but some accessions of cultivated type of var. frutescens showed above 50% germination. While, in the second or third germination tests, most accessions of cultivated types of Perilla crop and their weedy types showed above 50% germination rates, except for several accessions. As a result, in this study, the average of germination percent and germination energy among accessions of cultivated types of Perilla crop and their weedy types showed respectively the highest value at the third germination test, but showed the lowest value at the first germination test. In addition, the germination percent and germination energy showed much higher in the room temperature condition than in $28^{\circ}C$ constant-temperature condition. Although our results may be required much clearly survey in the further study, this current results will be help for our understanding the variation of seed characteristics among cultivated types of Perilla crop and their weedy types in Korea and Japan.

We investigated the effects of an ethanol extract from Perilla frutescens sprouts (PFSE) as an antioxidant, and its effects on edema and inflammation in RAW 264.7 cells and HMC-1 cells. The antioxidant activities (DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging) of PFSE were similar to those of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and (${\pm}$)-6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchromane-2-carboxylic acid (Trolox). We also investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of PFSE on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and HMC-1 cells stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) with the calcium ionophore A23187. TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-$1{\beta}$ production, which had been increased by treatment with LPS or PMA plus A23187, were significantly inhibited by PFSE in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, PFSE significantly reduced the xylene-induced ear edema and the carrageenan-induced paw edema of ICR mice in a dose-dependent manner. The effects of PFSE (200 mg/kg) in reducing ear and paw edema were similar to those of aspirin (50 mg/kg). These results suggest that PFSE can be potentially used as a medicine for treating oxidative stress, an edematous and inflammatory disease.

Antimicrobial activities were assayed through the hot-water extracts from 41 species of medicinal plants against Helicobacter pylori which is known as the ulcerogenic phathogen. Opuntia ficus-indica, Houttuynia cordata, Sinomenium acutum, and Coptis japonica showed the MIC at the concentrations less than 100 ppm, Pulsatilla koreana, Forsythia koreana, Rheum undulatum, and Perilla frutescens less than 200 ppm, Belamcanda chinensis, Arctium lappa, Cassia tora, Citrus tachibana, Siegesbeckia orientalis, and Caesalpinia sappan less than 300 ppm by the 2-fold dilution method. In disc method only three of them were confirmed to have antimicrobial activities which were increased in the order Perilla frutescens, Coptis japonica, Caesalpinia sappan. Three extracts were partitioned with chloroform, ethyl acetate and butanol in sequence and examined for the activity to inhibit H. pylori. The major ativities were observed in ethyl acetate fraction of Caesalpinia sappan, butanol fraction of Perilla frutescens, butanol and chloroform fraction of Coptis japonica. The partitioned fractions were found to have increased antimicrobial activities in all extracts. The experiments in which the extracts were added into urea R broth containing the crude urease derived from H. pylori resulted in the increase of pH and optical density at 560 nm to 8.15 and 1.7 respectively. Urease activity of H. pylori was inhibited over 80% by Caesalpinia sappan, Perilla frutescens, and Coptis japonica, of which Caesalpinia sappan suppressed up to 95%.

This aim of this study was to examine the immunomodulatory activities of crude polysaccharides from Perilla frutescens Britton var. acuta Kudo (PCP) in mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) and splenocytes. The immunomodulatory activity was determined by cell viability, nitric oxide (NO) production, cell surface marker expression (CD 80/86 and MHC class I/II), and cytokine production in BMDC, and cell viability, and cytokine production in splenocytes. Cell proliferation and cytokine production (tumor necrosis factor; TNF-${\alpha}$, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-$1{\beta}$, and IL-12) tested in BMDC were significantly increased by PCP treatment. Additionally, the cell surface markers (CD 80/86, MHC class I/II) were highly increased by PCP treatment. For cytokine production in splenocytes, PCP treatment significantly increased the production of Th 1 cytokines [IL-2 and interferon (IFN)-${\gamma}$], but not Th 2 cytokines (IL-4). Therefore, PCP can induce immune cell activation and is a potential candidate for the development of nutraceuticals to boost the immune system.

This study investigates the effects of chajogi (perilla frutescens) extracts on quality of vinaigrette dressing during storage. Vinaigrette dressing(VD) samples prepared with chajogi(perilla frutescens) extracts were divided into control(0% chajogi extracts) and the groups added chajogi extracts. VD samples prepared with chajogi extracts were divided into $T_1$(VD with 0.4% chajogi extracts), $T_2$(VD with 0.8% chajogi extracts) and $T_1$(VD with 1.2% chajogi extracts). The pH values during storage at 25 and $50^{\circ}C$ for 120 days in all samples ranged from 2.38 to 2.83 and form 3.21 to 3.36, respectively. As for total acidity, it decreased in all samples during storage while there wasn't significant difference in the samples of different storage temperature(25 and $50^{\circ}C$). L(lightness) value scores of all samples added with chajogi extracts during storage went higher and a(redness) and b(yellowness) value scores became lower. Escerichia coli forms were not detected in all samples. Antioxidant capacity by peroxide value of T1, T2 and T3 sample showed higher than that of the control sample. Crude Fat contents of the control sample during storage at $25^{\circ}C$ were the highest as compared to those of the other samples.
