Abstract

Various factors reducing seed yield in 4 Larix species throughout the whole reproductive cycle were investigated and partitionate losses attributed to them were determined. Pollen quality, lack of pollination, and degeneration of female gametophyte played minor roles in reducing seed yield. Failure of pollinated ovules to be fertilized was an important factor causing seed loss. Embryo degeneration was also a major factor causing seed loss in all 4 species. Strobili abortion, which causes loss of all potential seeds in a cone, was the most important factor in reducing seed loss in this study. Based on the results obtained from this studs, hybridizations in either direction between European larch and Japanese larch are likely to resulting viable seed. However, hybridization between tamarack as a mother tree and European larch are not likely to result in viable seeds being produced.

4가지 낙엽송(구주낙엽송, 일본낙엽송, 시베리아낙엽송, tamarack)의 종자결실에 영향을 미치는 요인과 각각의 요인들에 의한 종자손실율을 조사하였다. 화분의 질, 수분의 실패, female gametrophyte의 퇴화 등은 종자결실에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 수정실패, 배의 퇴화 등은 조사된 4개의 수조에서 모두 주요한 종자손실요인으로 조사되었다. 조사된 요인들 중 종자수확에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 수분후 strobilus자체가 퇴화되는 것이었다. 조사된 4가지 교배조합중 구주낙엽송 또는 일본낙엽송을 모수로 하는 것이 종자생산측면에서는 가장 바람직한 것으로 나타났으며, tamarack을 모수로 하는 교배조합은 건전한 종자생산을 하지 못할 것으로 판단된다.
