This study compared the antimicrobial activity and total phenolic content of three Pinus plants (Pinus densiflora, P. thunbergii, P. rigida) for the first time. The antimicrobial activity of the water fraction of methanol extract of fresh leaves was stronger than that of fallen leaves at any concentrations. The water fraction of crude methanol extract from fresh leaves of P. thunbergii showed a higher growth inhibitory activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria than that of P. densiflora and P. rigida. The results from the disc diffusion method followed by measurements of minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) indicate that Bacillus subtilis was the most sensitive microorganism with the lowest MIC value. The highest total phenolic content was found in fresh leaves of P. rigida and P. thunbergii. The assay showed that the fresh leaves of the three Pinus plants contained higher total phenolic content than fallen leaves of the three plants. The antimicrobial activity was related with the total phenolic content.

요 약: 정금나무의 기능성 품종을 육성하기 위하여 정금나무 선발 5개체의 열매에 대한 항산화 활성을 측정하였으 며, 항산화 성분인 총 페놀 함량을 측정하였다. 총 페놀 함량은 gallic acid를 기준물질로 하여 분석한 결과 15.8~19.9 mg/g 범위로 전체 평균 17.9 mg/g을 나타냈으며, DPPH free radical 소거활성은 400 ppm의 농도에서 69.1~91.4% 범 위로 전체평균 84.2%를 나타내었다. 환원력은 0.56~0.96 범위로 전체 평균 0.79를 나타내었다. 상관분석 결과 DPPH free radical 소거활성과 환원력에서 상관계수가 0.969로 매우 높은 정의 상관관계를 나타내었다.Abstract: Vaccinium oldhamii Miq. is a Korean native tree, which is deciduous and shrub tree with broad leaf. To develop superior cultivars for edible or medicinal purposes, we evaluated total phenolic content and antioxidant activity. Total phenolic content was measured by folin-denis method and antioxidant activity was measured by DPPH free radical scavenging activity (DPPH method) and reducing power (potassium ferricyanide method). Total phenolic content, DPPH free radical scavenging activity (at 400 ppm) and reducing power (at 700 ppm) were 15.8~19.9 mg/g, 69.1~91.4% and 0.56~0.96, respectively. A linear correlation was shown between DPPH-radical scavenging activity and reducing power (r=0969).

Hovenia dulcis var. koreana Nakai, the oriental raisin tree, has been considered not only fruit but an herbal medicine in East Asia including Korea, Japan and east China. As honey plant, value of this species had been rising steadily. The aim of this study was conducted to develop the propagation technique by scion collection time, scion age and vinyl house on survival rate of H. dulcis. The survival rate by veneer grafting showed no significant differences among 3 new cultivars. The scion collection at the northern temperature zone was observed to be the most appropriate time before the spring equinox when the plants are fully dormant. Especially, the installation of vinyl house showed 86% survival rate by veneer grafting. The scion age was effective 1 year shoot than 2 years shoot for increase the grafting survival rate. In this case, the installation of vinyl house can contribute above 80%.
