Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate geographic variation in needle characteristics of Pinus densiflora, one of the most economically important tree species in Korea. Needles were collected from 35 natural populations and their morphological and anatomical characteristics were studied. ANOVA showed statistically significant differences among populations as well as among individuals within populations in needle length, needle width, number of stomata row, density of stomata in $0.25mm^{2}$, number of serrations in 0.5mm, and number of resin ducts. In all these traits, variance components among individuals within populations were larger than those among populations. The density of stomata in $0.25mm^{2}$ increased as the latitudes and elevations of the populations increased, while the number of serrations in 0.5mm decreased as the decrease of latitudes and elevations. The number of resin ducts was higher in inland populations than in coastal populations. The resin duct index appeared to be higher in western populations than in eastern populations. Cluster analysis based on morphological characteristics divided populations into three groups. The third group was composed of populations selected from the Taebaek mountains. The number of serrations in 0.5mm of this group was lower than that of other two groups, while the density of stomata in $0.25mm^{2}$ was higher.

우리나라의 대표적 향토수종인 소나무 침엽의 지리적 변이를 알아보기 위하여 남한 전 지역을 대상으로 위도와 경도를 30' 간격으로 교차되는 35집단을 선정하고 침엽을 채취하여 형태적 특성을 조사하였다. 침엽길이, 침엽폭, 기공열수, 기공밀도, 거치수, 수지구수가 집단간, 개체간에 많은 차이가 있었으며, 개체간의 차이가 집단간의 차이보다 더 컸다. 기공밀도는 남부지역의 집단들 보다는 북부지역의 집단들이 더 높았으며, 표고가 낮은 지역의 집단들 보다는 표고가 높은 지역의 집단들이 기공밀도가 더 높았다. 거치수는 북부지역의 집단들보다는 남부지역의 집단들이 더 많았으며, 표고가 높은지역의 집단들보다는 표고가 낮은 지역의 집단들이 더 많았다. 수지구 수는 해안에서 거리가 먼 내륙의 집단들 보다는 해안에서 거리가 가까운 집단들이 더 많았다. 그리고 수지구 지수는 동부지역의 집단들 보다는 서부지역의 집단들이 더 높았다. 침엽의 형태적 특성으로 유집분석 결과 3개 군으로 구분되었으며 제III군은 I, II군에 비하여 거치수는 적고, 기공 밀도가 높은 태백산맥 주위의 집단들이었다.
