Variation of Leaf Form of Leaf Variabilities of Natural Population of Quercus spp.

참나무 천연집단(天然集團)의 엽형변이(葉型變異)

Morphological characteristics of leaves of 10 natural populations of Quercus mongolica and 9 natural populations of Q. serrata were investigated to study inter-population and intra-population variability as well as interspecies variability. Five leaf form indices, blade length/max. blade width, blade length/petiole length, blade length/vein number, upper 1/3 blade width/max.blade width, upper 1/3 blade width/lower 1/3 blade width, as well as petiole length and vein number were included in the present study of Leaf variabilities of the Quercus population. All of the investigated leaf variabilities except for the case of blade length/petiole length, in Q. serrata indicated highly significant differences among the populations and among the individual trees within population. Both of Q. mongolica and Q. serrata represented different leaf forms between southern populations and northern populations in the indices of blade length/max. blade width, blade length/petiole length and blade length/vein number, and so the leaf forms of northern populations were more similar to the unique characters of Q. mongolica and those of southern populations were more similar to the unique characters of Q. serrata. The variability among individual trees within population was more notable in blade length/petiole length, and petiole length than in other leaf form indices, and also it was more obvious for Mt. Kyeryrong population located in middle part of the country than for other population.

수종간(樹種間), 집단간(集團間), 집단내개체간(集團內個體間)의 변이(變異)를 밝히기 위(爲)해 신갈나무 10개(個) 천연집단(天然集團)과 졸참나무 9개(個) 천연집단(天然集團)의 엽형질변이(葉形質變異)를 조사(調査)하였다. 엽신장(葉身長)/최대엽폭(最大葉幅), 엽신장(葉身長)/엽병장(葉柄長), 엽신장(葉身長)/엽맥수(葉脈數), 상(上)1/3엽폭(葉幅)/최대엽폭(最大葉幅), 상(上)1/3엽폭(葉幅)/하(下)1/3엽폭(葉幅)의 5개(個) 엽형지수(葉型指數)와 엽병장(葉柄長), 엽맥수(葉脈數)가 본(本) 연구(硏究)에 포함(包含)되었다. 졸참나무의 엽신장(葉身長)/엽병장(葉柄長)을 제외(除外)한 조사(調査)된 모든 엽형질변이(葉形質變異)는 집단간(集團間), 집단내개체간(集團內個體間)에 고도(高度)의 유의적(有意的)인 차이(差異)를 보였다. 신갈나무와 졸참나무 다같이 엽신장(葉身長)/최대엽폭(最大葉幅), 엽신장(葉身長)/엽병장(葉柄長), 엽신장(葉身長)/엽맥수(葉脈數)의 지수(指數)에서 남부집단(南部集團)과 북부집단간(北部集團間)에 다른 엽형(葉型)을 나타냈다. 그리고 북부집단(北部集團)의 엽형(葉型)은 신갈나무의 독특(獨特)한 특성(特性)들과 더 유사(類似)하고 남부집단(南部集團)은 졸참나무의 독특(獨特)한 특성(特性)을 더 많이 지니고 있었다. 집단내개체목간(集團內個體木間)에 변이(變異)는 엽신장(葉身長)/엽병장(葉柄長), 엽병장(葉柄長)에서 더욱 두드러지게 나타났고 우리나라 중부(中部)에 하는 속(屬)하는 계룡산집단내(鷄龍山集團內)에서 더욱 현저(顯著)했다.
