Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is one of the most important leafy vegetables in the world due to its health related benefits. Bitter sesquiterpene lactones (BSLs) are crucial secondary metabolites of lettuce which are useful in many
physiological activities, and also has been used to relieve pain. This study was conducted to appraise the variability of phenotypic characteristics and the total content of BSLs in fifty lettuce germplasm. The germplasm collections exhibited wide variation in both qualitative and quantitative characters. The average plant weight was 333.3 g with a range from 60.0 to 700.0 g and the lactucin content was varied from 3.4 (IT265031) to 448.6 (IT300287) μg/g DW with an average concentration of 94.0
μg/g DW. Whereas lactucopicrin ranged from 6.8 (IT217859) to 2,714.9 (Superseonpung) μg/g DW with an average concentration of 805.8 μg/g DW. Total BSLs content was ranged from 19.6 (IT217859) to 2,821.9 (Superseonpung) μg/g DW with the average concentration of 899.8 μg/g DW. Significant (p≤0.05) differences in lactucin, lactucopicrin and total BSLs content were found among the germplasm collections. Leafy type lettuce germplasm collections originated from South Korea revealed the highest average
total BSLs content (2,821.9 μg/g DW). Principal component analyses of lactucin and lactucopicrin generated based on leaf color and plant growth type yielded two principal components, PC1 and PC2, which accounted for 60.8 and 39.2 % of the total variance, respectively. Our study provides fundamental insights on phenotypic characteristics and the total content of lactucin and lactucopicrin of lettuce germplasm which may further help researchers and breeders to produce improved lettuce varieties.
Background :
The objective of this study was to determine the antioxidant activities of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) seed extracts using various solvents. Method and Results : The safflower seed extracts was obtained using methanol (50, 75, 100%), ethanol (50, 75, 100%) and water. Total phenolic content (TPC) w as determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method and antioxidant activities w ere estimated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS)
radical scavenging activities, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and reducing power (RP). Average TPC of safflower seed extracts were 72.03 ㎍·GAE·㎎-1 DE in methanol, 50.16 ㎍·GAE·㎎-1 DE in ethanol, and 28.47 ㎍·GAE·㎎-1 DE in water. TPC were significantly different (p < 0.05) between the solvents. DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and RP a average activities of methanol extracts showed the highest antioxidant activity, with value of 62.95 ㎍·ASC·eq/㎎ DE, 123.48 ㎍·ASC·eq/㎎ DE, 171.68 ㎍·ASC·eq/㎎ DE, and
76.07 ㎍·ASC·eq/㎎ DE, respectively. Values of Ethanol extracts showed DPPH 32.26 ㎍·ASC·eq/㎎ DE, ABTS 81.02 ㎍·ASC·eq/㎎ DE, FRAP 159.24 ㎍·ASC·eq/㎎ DE, and RP 34.83 ㎍·ASC·eq/㎎ DE. There was no significant difference between extracts of ethanol and methanol in FRAP value. The 75% ethanol extracts showed higher antioxidant activity than 50% and 100% ethanol extracts (p < 0.05). The 75% ethanol extracts had TPC 68.98 ㎍·GAE·eq/㎎ DE, DPPH 70.07 ㎍·ASC·eq/㎎ DE, ABTS 166.59 ㎍·ASC·eq/㎎ DE, FRAP 208.78
㎍·ASC·eq/㎎ DE, and RP 82.16 ㎍·ASC·eq/㎎ DE. Conclusion : Although ethanol extracts had lower antioxidant activity compared to methanol, it was suggested to be more suitable for further studies as it is less toxic and a recommended food grade solvent. It is estimated that the bioactive substance is extracted extensively from 75% ethanol with high antioxidant activity.
Background : Perilla (Perilla frutescens) seed oil is known to contain high omega-3 fatty acid than other plant oils. This study was aimed to investigate the fatty acid composition in seeds of 255 perilla accessions from South Korea and
recommend the potential genetic resources rel ated to their fatty acid composition. Method and Results : Total oil was extracted by soxhlet extraction apparatus and the fatty acid compositions were analyzed by gas chromatography (GCMS QP2010 ULTRA, SHIMADZU, JP). Total oil contents ranged from 22.41 and 47.62% with an average content of 34.20%. Palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acid contributed 4.46 to 7.67%, 1.64 to 4.11%, 9.15 to 26.39%, 11.89 to 28.76%, and 50.24 to 64.16% to
the total oil content, respectively. Seeds from Jeollabuk-do showed the highest average total oil content (41.14%) compared to other regions (p < 0.05), while the linolenic acid composition was the highest in the samples from Chungcheongnam-do (59.48%) (p < 0.05). The cluster analysis segregated the perilla seed accessions into two major clusters. ANOVA revealed that there was a significant difference between group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ (p < 0.05). Group Ⅰ (86 accessions) characterized as
higher palmitic, stearic, oleic, and linolenic acid compositions than group Ⅱ (169 accessions). The highest content of linolenic acid were recorded in accessions K126190, K135903, and IT283646 from group Ⅰ, and accessions IT108680, IT208894, and IT111050 from group Ⅱ had high total oil content. Linoleic acid content showed a strong negative correlation with palmitic acid (r = -0.726*) and oleic acid (r = -0.678*) content. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the first two principal
components together explained 68.75% total variation. Conclusion : Our results showed that accessions K126190, K135903, IT283646 which exhibited high linolenic acid composition and accessions IT108680, IT208894, IT111050 which exhibited high total oil composition, could be useful to develop new functional oil materials.
Background : Perilla leaves (Perilla frutescens) are known to possess antioxidant activity and have long been used to treat a variety of health related issues. The present study was conduct ed to compare the antioxidant activity among perilla
accessions collected from Russia. Method and Results : The leaves of a total of 46 accessions of perilla were collected from Russia. Crude extracts were obtained from 2 g of oven-dried perilla leaves using ASE-350 extractor. Total phenolic content (TPC) was determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method and antioxidant activities were estimated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (A BTS) radical scavenging activities, ferric reducing antioxidant
power (FRAP) and reducing power (RP). TPC was ranged from 88.70 to 148.85 ㎍ gallic acid equivalent (GAE) /㎎ dried extract (DE). DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, and RP were ranged from 59.49 to 94.80 ㎍ ascorbic acid equivalent (ASCE) /㎎ DE, 73.01 to 190.59 ㎍ ASCE /㎎ DE, 98.73 to 326.39 ㎍ ASCE /㎎ DE, 82.58 to 264.88 ㎍ ASCE /㎎ DE, respectively. Cluster analysis based on antioxidant assay results of 46 perilla accessions divided into three major groups. Group Ⅰ (9 accessions) characterized as higher antioxidant
activity accessions than other group (p < 0.001). The correlations between antioxidant assays were strong and positive (r ≧ 0.78). Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the first two principal components together explained 92.96 % total variation. Conclusion : Among the perilla accessions collected from Russia, group accessions clustered in group Ⅱ showed high antioxidant activity. Our results indicated that accessions IT274300, IT226732 and IT274293 could be used as a source of
valuable natural antioxidant materials.

본 연구는 고흥과 제주도로부터 수확된 유자의 수확시기에 따른 과실의 품질 변화를 규명하고자 하였다. 8월부터 12월까지 매월 1일 수확된 유자 과실을 사용하여 유자의 크기, 중량, 과형지수, 당도, 수분함량등 외관적 특징과 총 페놀함량, 항산화 활성 그리고 감귤류의 대표 플라보노이드성분인 나린진과 헤스페리딘의 함량을 각각 측정하였다. 고흥과 제주도로부터 수확된 과실의 외관적 특징을 비교할 때 8월 9월에 수확된 유자는 초록색을 띄며 수확시기가 지날수록 노란색으로 변하면서 성숙되었고
수확적기인 11월과 12월에는 진한 노란색을 띄었다. 제주도 유자가 고흥 유자에 비해 다소 크나 유의적인 차이는 크게 없었으며. 수확시기에 따른 구형지수는 점차 감소하여 구형에서 타원형으로 변하였고 당도는 증가하였다. 총 페놀화합물의 함량은 제주도 유자가 고흥 유자에 비해 다소 높은 함량을 보였으며, 8월에 수확한 어린숙기의 유자의 총 페놀화합물 함량은 수확적기인 11월, 12월 유자 보다 높은 수준의 함량을 보였으며 산지에 따라 10월까지 점차적으로 감소하다 다시 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 산지별, 수확시기에 따른 항산화 활성은 총 페놀화합물 함량과 비슷한 경향을 보였으며 8월 수확한 미숙 유자의 항산화 활성은 높은 수준의 활성을 보였으며 산지에 따라 10월과 11월까지 감소하다 다시 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 나린진과 헤스페리딘 함량 또한 제주도 유자가 고흥유자에 비해 다소 높은 함량을 보였으며 8월 수확한 미성숙과의 유자는 높은 수준의 함량을 보였으며 수확시기에 따라 현저하게
감소하였고 수확적기인 11월과 12월은 유의적인 차이 없이 거의 비슷한 함량을 보였다. 본 연구 결과로 보아, 미성숙과에서 식물체에 존재하는 많은 페놀성 물질과, 플라보노이드 성분을 다량 함유하며 강한 항산화 효과가 있어 다양한 생리활성을 기대할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 이를 다양하게 활용한다면 여러 질병의 예방 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes of fruit quality, flavonoid contents and antioxidant activity of Yuzu (Citrus junos Sieb. ex Tanaka) from Go-heung and Jeju according to harvest time. Samples were harvested from August to December on the 1<SUP>st</SUP> of every month. August and
September samples were green colored, whereas November and December samples were yellow. The fruit shape index decreased, changing from globular to elliptical, whereas the °birx increased with ripening stage. The yuzu from Jeju was larger than that from Go-heung in each month of cultivation. August samples exhibited the highest amounts of phenolic compounds. In addition, samples from Jeju had higher total phenolic content than those from Go-heung. The content of phenolic compounds decreased with
ripening until October and then increased subsequently. Antioxidant activity of the yuzu was evaluated by FRAP and DPPH methods. The antioxidant activity showed a similar trend as total phenolic content. Immature yuzu fruit was found to exhibit the highest amount of flavonoids such as naringin and hesperidin. November and December samples showed almost the same contents of flavonoids. The flavonoid content of yuzu fruit harvested from Jeju was higher than that from Go-heung. Overall, the samples
harvested at the early stage, in the month of August, exhibited the highest flavonoid content, phenolic content and antioxidant activity. As the health benefits of these compounds has been demonstrated in various studies, the immature yuzu appears to be preferable for use as a raw material for formulation of pharmaceutical products as well as for functional food production after a proper in-vivo and in-vitro medical tests.
Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most crucial disease in Kimchi cabbage. Screening disease resistant genetic resources is necessary to develop disease resistant cultivars and conduct related research. We have
evaluated the development of clubroot to the 120 genetic resources of Kimchi cabbage introduced from World Vegetable Center and five Asian countries using isolate of Plasmodiophora brassicae collected in Haenam fields in Jeollanam-do Province, Rep. of Korea. This isolate was determined race 2 using differential varieties reported by Kim et al., 2016. IT100384 and IT305623 showed strong resistance, lower than disease index (DI) 1.0. IT100385, 100439, and 135407 showed moderate resistance
(1.0<DI<2.0).
The rest except above 5 accessions showed susceptible. As a result, 5 accessions which showed strong and moderate level of resistance to the isolate of Plasmodiophora brassicae could be possibly used by breeders and researchers to produce new disease resistant cultivars of Kimchi cabbage. However, research related to the exploration of appropriate materials (accessions) for breeding cultivars that are resistant to variable pathogens need to be conducted. In addition, several characters such as
consumer acceptability, need to be taken into consideration. 배추의 뿌리혹병 저항성 품종 개발 및 관련 연구에 활용할 수 있는 자원 탐색을 목적으로 세계채소센터(World Vegetable Center, 대만 소재)와 아시아 지역 5개국에서 도입한 120 유전 자원을 대상으로 전라남도 해남군 배추 재배포장에서 발병한 뿌리혹병균(레이스 2)을 접종하여 저항성 반응을 조사함 1. 발병정도가 1 이하로 저항성 반응을 보인 자원은 IT100384와 IT305623로 2개이고, 발병정도가 1 초과 2 미만 으로 중도 저항성 반응을 보인 자원은 IT100385, 100439, 135407로 3개임. 그 외 자원은 발병정도가 2 이상으로 감수성 반응을 보임 2. 저항성 반응을 보인 IT100384는 발병정도는 0.3으로 거 의 증상을 보이지 않았으며, IT305623은 발병한 식물체가 발 견되지 않아 가장 저항성이 높은 자원으로 나왔음. 3.
