Enhancement of Growth and Survival of Populus alba × P. glandulosa Cuttings Inoculated with Ectomycorrhizal Fungus, Pisolithus tinctorius under Fumigated Nursery Condition

모래밭버섯 균근균(菌根菌)의 인공접종(人工接種)에 의(依)한 포플러 삽목묘(揷木苗)의 생장촉진(生長促進) 및 활착률(活着率) 증진(増進)

Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa cuttings in nursery bed were inoculated with mycelium of ectomycorrhizal fungus, Pisolithus tinctorius (Pt) to evaluate effectiveness of the fungus in growth stimulation of poplar. Pt was cultured in 1l glass bottles with vermiculite-peatmoss mixture moistened with modified Melin-Norkrans' solution. The nursery bed was arranged for microplots of $1{\times}2m$ in size and fumigated with methyl bromide before inoculation and cutting placement. Fifty cuttings were placed in each microplot and two treatments (fumigation only and fumigation plus Pt inoculation) were replicated three times. At the end of the first growing season, inoculated plants grew 19% faster in height and produced 49% more dry weight (above-ground portion) than uninoculated plants. Survival rate of inoculated cuttings was also improved by 20% over that of uninoculated cuttings. Inoculated cuttings developed abundant fine root system with golden brown zigzag tips. In the middle of September a sporocarp of Pt was produced from an inoculated plot, suggesting successful establishment of mycorrhiza between poplar and Pt fungus.

외생균근(外生菌根)을 형성(形成)하는 모래밭 버섯균(菌)(Pisolithus tinctorius) (Pt)을 포플러에 인공접종(人工接種)하여 기주(寄主)의 생장촉진(生長促進)과 활착률(活着率) 증진효과(增進效果)를 조사(調査)하였다. 질석(蛭石), 니탄(泥炭)이끼, MMN배지(培地)(Modified Melin-Norkrans)를 첨가(添加)한 $1{\ell}$ 유리 용기(容器)에 Pt 균(菌)을 대량(大量)으로 배양(培養)하여 Methyl bromide($50g/m^2$)로, 훈증(熏蒸)한 묘포토양(苗圃土壤)에 혼합(混合)하고, 은수원사시 (Populus alba${\times}$P. glandulosa)를 삽목(揷木)하였다. $1{\times}2m$ 크기의 삽목상(揷木床)에 50개(個)의 삽수(揷穗)를 사용(使用)했으며, 삽목당년(揷木當年) 가을에 수고(樹高), 건중량(乾重量)(지상부(地上部)), 활착률(活着率)을 조사(調査)하였다. Pt로 접종(接種)된 묘목(苗木)은 접종(接種)안된 묘목(苗木)보다 수고생장(樹高生長)에서 19% 더 빨리 자랐으며, 지상부(地上部)의 건중량(乾重量)에서 49% 더 많았다. 삽목(揷木) 활착률(活着率)도 접종(接種)된 묘목(苗木)이 접종(接種)안된 묘목(苗木)보다 20% 증가(增加)하였다. 접종(接種)된 묘목(苗木)에는 Pt 균(菌)의 전형적(典型的)인 황갈색(黃擖色)을 띤 세근(細根)이 많이 발달(發達)했으며, 꼬불꼬불한 root tip 형태(形態)를 보였다. 접종(接種)된 삽목상(揷木床)에서 9월(月) 중순(中旬)에 Pt균(菌)의 자실체(子實體)가 생산(生産)되어서, 접종(接種)과 균근형성(菌根形成)이 성공적(成功的)이었음을 입증(立證)해 주었다.
