In many parts of the world Allium cepa, Allium roseum, Trigonella foenum graecum and Curcuma domestica are extensively used as food and are popular in herbal medicine. The four were screened against 26 pathogens and all exhibited broad-spectrum anti-bacterial activity. The aqueous as well as fractionated methanol extract of Allium cepa and A. roseum demonstrated broader level of activity against most of the organisms. On the other hand the unfractionated methanol extracts as well as the fractions of both Trigonella foenum graecum and Curcuma domestica showed broad spectrum of activity. Fractionation was found to improve their level of activity. In both cases the ethyl acetate fractions exhibited higher level of activity. All the materials tested were inactive against any of the four moulds. Allium cepa, Allium roseum, Trigonella foenum graecum and Curcuma domestica are proposed as non toxic, safe, broad spectrum antibacterial agents.

Identification of compatible parental line is of great importance in introduction of useful characters to onion breeding program, beyond the severe hybridization barrier. Phylogenic analysis of Allium section Cepa was conducted through PCR by URPs, repeated sequences of A. fistulosum, and microsatellite markers. Totally 76 accessions originated from 21 countries were clustered into five groups at a 0.84-similarity level: group I;A. cepa and its wild relatives and A. cepa ssp. ascalonicum, group II; A. cepa ssp. wakegii, A. cepa ssp. proliferum and Samcheung-pa group III; A. fistulosum and A. altaicum, group IV; A. galanthum, group V; Soeckkori-pa. Samcheung-pa and Soekkori-pa, Korean local varieties, shared band type of both Cepa group and Altaicum group, indicating that those are derived from interspecific hybridization between A. fistulosum and A. cepa.

In this study, an ethanol extract being obtained from Allium cepa var. cepa examins the inhibitory effects on the glutathione S-transferase and the separation had been done by silica-gel column chromatography using various eluents, such as ethyl acetate, methanol, and 50% methanol. A volume of column fraction was 50ml and evaporation has been performde by the rotary evaporator under reduced pressure. Each fraction is being examined by thin layer chromatography and the UV spectrum at 365 nm was used to investigate separation patterns of spots on thin layer chromatography. When the eluent was changed, the spot patterns showed another different pattern on thin layer chromatography, so on. Fractions showing similar pattern are combined and eventually, three fractions are obtained. Each fraction is testified to examine the inhibition effects on glutathione S-transferase. All of these showed inhibition effects on glutathione S-transferase. The GC-MS shows that each fraction contains more than 2 compounds.

This study was performed to investigate the wound healing effects of Allium cepa L. on Staphylococcus intermedius contaminated wound. 4 full-thickness skin wounds ($2\;cm{\times}2\;cm$) were made in the back and Staphylococcus intermedius was inoculated in seven dogs. In each dog, the wounds were treated with onion extract (experimental group) and normal saline (control group), respectively. The wound contraction rate of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group during the experimental period. The occupation rate showed that the wounds of the experimental groups contracted more vigorously than that of the control group in the early period of wound healing. The mean value of tensile strength on the 22 day after wounding was $4,741{\pm}848\;g/cm^2$ in the experimental group and $2,400{\pm}397\;g/cm^2$ in the control group. The number of S. intermedius in the experimental groups was decreased more rapidly than that of the control group. These results suggest that application of activated onion extract in like full-thickness skin wounds promote wound healing.

To use onion(Allium cepa L.) residue as raw materials of food product, yields of onion-juice according to various extracting methods and optimal extracting condition of quercetin and its related glycosides were carried out. Onion juices gained by the methods of pressing, rotary crushing, freeze pressing and enzyme treatment. The yield by the method of enzyme treatment was higher than others. The yields of juice from fresh onion and heat-treated onion(8$0^{\circ}C$/10min) by pressing were 66% and 83%, respectively. Ethanol extraction of onion was efficient at 75$^{\circ}C$ and acetic acid extraction was proper at 3% concentration for 3 hours at 11$0^{\circ}C$. The onion extract was fractionated in the order of hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate and butanol to test flavonoids. The highest abundant flavonoids were found in ethylacetate and butanol fraction.

In order to fad out an efficient way of topdressing nitrogen fertilizer in mulch-cropping system of onion(Allium cepa L.), solid, slow-release, and liquid forms of nitrogen fertilizers were allied to cv. 'Changnyungdaego' various number of times at different time, with 5 topdress applications of solid fertilizer serving as a control. Whole basal application of conventional solid fertilizer and 2 slow-release fertilizers were labor-saving and showed improved storage quality of bulbs, but resulted in poor plant growth and considerably low yield due to fertilizer shortage from early April. This suggests that topdress application is necessary. Liquid form of nitrogen fertilizer was more effective for plant growth and yield and saving labor than the solid form. Early applications was effective for increasing yield and storage quality of onion bulbs harvested. Thus two applications of liquid form of nitrogen fertilizer in February and March at rome month interval are recommended in mulch crowing system of onion.

The optimized RAPD-PCR conditions, which can be utilized as a basic information for the analysis of the genetic characteristics were investigated with four onion varieties, named Changryungdaego, Yeoeuijuhwang, Yakwangju, and Dabonghwang using Operon primers, OPR01 (TGCGGGTCCT) and OPZ20 (ACTTTGGCGG). We tested several concentrations of DNA, primer, and MgCl2, annealing temperature, number of PCR cycle, and presence/absence of pre-heating time at the begining of PCR reation in the 25${mu}ell$ volume. The best RAPD profiles were obtained using 50ng of DNA, 5mM of primer, 1.5mM of MgCl2, 45$^{\circ}C$ of annealing temperature and an absence of pre-heating time. An establishment of the stable and reproducible RAPD-PCR conditions are expected to be useful for the subsequent RAPD-related investigation, such as genetic characterization of the onion strains, re-establishment of phylogenetic relationships and development of new varieties.

본 연구는 C57BL/6 마우스에서 Allium cepa (red) 생물전환 추출물과 Angelica gigas Nakai 추출물이 혼합된 새로운 물질의 모발 성장 촉진 효과를 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 적양파의 에탄올 추출물을 Bacillus subtilis KJ-3(BS3) 균주의 사용을 통해 생물전환하였고 이것을 Red-BCQ라고 명명하였다. Red-BCQ의 퀘르세틴 함량은 생물전환 후 약 7.4배 증가 되었다. 참당귀 추출물(Agnex)에는 decursin (D), decursinol angelate (DA) 등 쿠마린이 다량 함유되어 있다. Agnex 1 mg 중에는 D 0.4146 mg, DA 0.3659 mg이 포함되어 있었다. 미녹시딜(minoxidil)은 모발 성장을 촉진하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 Red-BCQ, Agnex 및 이들 혼합물의 모발 성장 촉진효과를 5% 미녹시딜과 비교하였다. 25마리의 마우스는 생리식염수(CON), 5% 미녹시딜(PCON), Red-BCQ (RA), Agnex (AG), 이들 혼합물 (RAG) 처리군 등 5개의 실험군으로 나누었다. 시료는 하루에 한 번 4주 동안 정해진 시간에 경구로 투여되었다. 모발 증식은 7, 14, 21, 28일에 사진으로 관찰하였다. 또한 5α-reductase, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT), insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, transforming growth factor(TGF)-β1, 항산화효소활성, 피부조직의 모낭도 관찰했다. 모든 결과에서 혼합물 투여 그룹은 다른 그룹보다 항산화 효과와 모발 성장 촉진 효과가 더 컸다. 이러한 데이터는 RAG가 C57BL/6 종의 모발 성장에 대해 강력한 자극활동을 가지고 있음을 시사한다.

Allium 속 근연종인 파와 양파간 종간교잡을 이용하여 양파로부터 새로운 형질을 도입하는 과정에서 유래되는 종간교잡 F1과 여교잡 세대들의 게놈크기의 변화를 flow cytometry를 이용하여 측정한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 양파와 파의 종간교잡 F1의 식물학적 특성은 양친의 중간형을 보였으나 여교잡이 진전됨에 따라 반복친인 파의 표현형이 우세하였다. flow cytometry를 이용하여 2C nuclear DNA content을 측정한 결과 $F_1$은 양친에 비해 오히려 증가하였으나 여교잡이 진행됨에 따라 급속히 감소하여 $BC_2F_1$에서는 반복친과 비슷한 수준으로 감소하였다. 여교잡세대의 자식인 $BC_1F_2$은 반복친과 비슷한 $23.1{\pm}1.0pg$으로 측정되었으나 $BC_2F_2$는 $22.9{\pm}0.4pg$으로 반복친의 2C nuclear DNA content인 $23.2{\pm}0.2pg$ 보다 오히려 감소하였다.
