Abstract

A comparative anatomical and ultrastructural study was undertaken to investigare on the leaf epidermis by light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). On the basis of results from this study, it was grasped major characters of taxa and variation range of each character on the level of species, section and subgenus respectively. The shape of leaf epidermal cell was oblong to linear, which was varied by each taxon. Epidermal cell of taxa in sects. Microscordum, Anguinum, and Rhizirideum, which had wide leaf blade, oblong instead of linear shape in others examined taxa in this study. The leaf of taxa in sect. Anguinum was hypostomatic, while the rest of taxa had amphistomatic leaf. This was also one of characters which could discriminate taxa of sect. Anguinum from others. The guard cell in investigated taxa had not so much variation in the respect of its size. The number of stomata per unit area reduced by increasing size of epidermal cell, the fewest number of stomata per unit area was found in the taxa of sect. Anguinum. The type of stomatal apparatus of observed all taxa was anomocytic. It was found to know ultrastructural variation in the epidermal cell, like as patterns of sculpture on the cell wall, and features of deposition of wax by SEM. There were no depositions of wax in the taxa of sect. Microscordum and Anguinum, but fine thread-like structures which were parallel or cross to axis was found on the surface of epidermal cell respectively. The patterns of sculpture on the cell were prominent straight in sects. Recticulato-bulbosa and Rhizirideum, discontinuous line in the sect. Oreiprason. The epicuticular wax had been deposited on the surface of its epidermal cell in all taxa except sects. Microscordum and Anguinum.

부추속 분류군들에 대한 광학현미경 및 주사전자현미경에 의한 잎 표피의 해부학적 및 미세구조적 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과를 토대로 종 수준 또는 절이나 아속의 수준에서 각 분류군의 주요형질 및 형질의 변이 한계를 파악하였다. 잎 표피세포의 모양은 장방형에서부터 아주 긴 선형으로 관찰되었고, 크기는 분류군에 따라 다양하였다. 엽신이 넓은 달래절, 산마늘절, 두메부추절 등에 속하는 분류군의 표피세포는 장방형으로 선형을 가지는 다른 절로부터 이들을 구분되었다. 산마늘절의 잎은 이면기공엽으로 관찰되어 양면기공엽을 가지는 나머지 분류군들과는 구분되었다. 기공복합체에서 공변세포 크기는 각 분류군 간에 거의 변이가 나타나지 않았다. 단위면적 당 기공의 수는 표피세포의 크기가 커지면 적어지고, 세포의 크기가 작아지면 많아지는 것으로 관찰되었다. 엽신이 넓고, 표피세포의 모양이 장방형인 산마늘절에서는 다른 선형의 세포를 가진 종에서 보다 아주 적게 나타났다. 관찰된 모든 분류군에서는 불규칙형 기공이 나타났다. SEM에 의한 잎 표피세포의 미세구조 관찰 결과, 표피 외벽의 융기 형태와 wax의 침적 양상이 종간에 다소 다양한 형태로 관찰되었다. 세포 표면이 융기된 돌기물의 형태는 달래절과 산마늘절에서는 나타나지 않았으나 달래절에서는 세포벽의 표면에 주축과 수직인 방향으로 미세무늬가 나타났고 산마늘절에서는 평행인 미세무늬가 나타났다. 세포벽 외부의 돌기물의 구조는 돌추절과 두메부추절에서는 뚜렷한 선모양으로, 노랑부추절에서는 미약한 선모양으로 관찰되었으나, 다른 분류절에서는 관찰되지 않았다. 달래절과 산마늘절의 분류군을 제외한 다른 분류군에서는 왁스가 침적되어 있는 것으로 관찰되었다.
