Aralia continentalis Kitagawa (Araliaceae), known as “Dokwhal” in Korea. IS one of the most popular edible mountain vegetables. It habitat is in China, the Russian Far East, Japan, and Korea. There are several reports suggesting that A. continentalis (AC) has pharmacological properties as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory. The biological activity was estimated with methanol extracts isolated from cultivated roots and adventitious roots . DPPH and ABTS activity showed the highest activity in methanol extract of adventitious roots and antioxidant activity of methanol extract of the adventitious roots was higher than other samples. In the antibacterial activity assay (paper disc method), the methanol extract of adventitious roots showed activity against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, B. subtilis, and S. enterica. This study demonstrated that adventitious roots of A. continentalis, which was produced for the first time in the roots of A. continentalis, can be used as a natural antibacterial and antioxidant agents.
