Abstract

Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii Henry is a short and creeping evergreen shrub which reaches about 60 cm in height and only occurs in the northeast Asia and in the top of high mountains over the Korea. The Korea Forest Service protects it strictly by law since J. chinensis var. sargentii is an eccentric plant and possibly may be exterminated soon in Korea. This study was carried out to develop the propagation technique by cutting for conservation of genetic resources of J. chinensis var. sargentii. The rooting responses of branch cuttings, obtained from hard(May) and semi-hard wood shoots (August) to four growth regulators, namely, IAA, IBA, NAA and Rooton(exceptionally powder method) applied at various concentrations(0, 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 2000 $mgL^{-1}$) were examined in mixed soil media. Rooting rate showed significant difference between cutting times, among kinds and among concentrations of growth regulators. The optimum cutting time was April to May in hardwood cutting. The application of IBA 1000 $mgL^{-1}$(rooting rate : 36.4%) was most effective in callus formation and rooting of cutting. Relatively, rooting of cutting of the control taken in May was 30.4%. Root characteristics such as number, length and diameter of root were not significantly affected by kinds and concentrations of growth regulators in hardwood cutting.

눈향나무(Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii Henry)는 누워서 자라는 상록침엽관목으로 수고 60 cm까지 성장한다. 지리적으로는 동북아시아에 한정되어 분포하는 수종이며, 우리나라에서는 고산지대의 산정부근에서만 극히 일부 자생하여 멸종의 위기에 직면하고 있는 위기종(Endangered species)으로 지정되어 보호되고 있다. 본 연구는 희귀수종 눈향나무의 유전자원보존을 위한 삽목증식법을 개발하기 위하여 삽목시기 및 발근촉진제의 종류별 농도에 따른 발근특성을 조사하였다. 삽목 발근율은 삽목시기와 발근촉진제의 종류 및 농도에서 각각 고도의 유의성이 인정되었다. 삽목은 8월보다 5월이 적정한 시기로 판단되었으며, 발근율과 발근특성을 고려한 발근촉진제의 종류 및 농도는 IBA 1000 $mgL^{-1}$ 처리하는 것이 발근율 36.4%(무처리 30.4%)로 캘러스 형성율이 높고 발근이 촉진되는 것으로 나타났다. 삽수의 발근에 따른 뿌리의 수, 길이 및 굵기에 대한 특성에서는 모두 발근촉진제의 종류 및 농도에 따른 통계적인 유의성이 인정되지 않았다.
