But their cultivated area tends to decrease every year because of economic and agricultural reasons. On the other hand, perilla is recognized as a functional food for their ingredient, α -linoleic acid. In relation to sesame, its functions are also recognized and the import increases year by year. So, its price has gone down every year. And the local varieties may be lost because of the above reasons. Exploration for collecting local varieties of P. frutescens and S. indicum were conducted in Gifu Prefecture and Northern region of Aichi Prefecture on October 29 to 31. On the collection trips, we found the farmers who grew perilla for their own use and for small trade. But we could not find any farmers who grew sesame. Nowadays some farmers and local government promote the cultivation of P. frutescens, because it has probability being a specialty of the region. In this context, it seems very important to collect the local varieties as useful genetic resources.}, pages = {19--25}, title = {岐阜県及び愛知県北部におけるエゴマ (Perilla frutescens) 及びゴマ (Sesamum indicum) 在来種の探索収集}, volume = {20}, year = {2004}, yomi = {ヤスモト, サトコ and トクシュク, ツギオ and ヨコタ, イチロウ} }
