Abstract

Forsythia saxatilis is a Korean endemic plant designated as rare and endangered by the Korea Forest Service (KFS). Growth and physiological characteristics of F. saxatilis were investigated under two different light intensities in order to figure out an appropriate growth environment for conservation and restoration of the species in its natural habitat. Shoot length, leaf size and weight, photosynthetic pigment content and photosynthetic parameters were measured for F. saxatilis grown at two experimental plots under relative light intensities (RLI) of 20% and 60% of the full sun, respectively. Fresh leaf weight of plants grown under high relative light intensities (RLI-60) exceeded that of plants grown at 20% RLI. The ratio of fresh leaf weight to leaf size at RLI-60 was 1.47 times superior comparing to that recorded at RLI-20. The content of photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophyll a, b and carotenoid were higher in plants grown at RLI-60, whereas the ratio of total chlorophyll to carotenoid content was higher in the leaves at RLI-20. Photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate at RLI-60 were, respectively, 2.5, 2.65 and 1.79 times higher comparing to those recorded at RLI-20. Water use efficiency, however, was higher at RLI-20. The chlorophyll/nitrogen ratio was 1.83 times higher at RLI-20 than at RLI-60. In contrast, the ratio of net photosynthesis to chlorophyll content at RLI-60 was 2.58 times higher than that of RLI-20. In conclusion, light intensity might be the major factor affecting growth and physiological characteristics of F. saxatilis grown under canopy of tall tree species.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 특산식물이면서 희귀식물인 산개나리의 유전자원 보존 및 복원을 위한 생육 환경 특성을 구명하기 위한 것으로, 서로 다른 광 조건을 가진 환경에 식재된 산개나리의 생장과 생리적 특성을 조사 분석하였다. 산개나리 시험구내 광량은 전광의 20%, 60%로 구성되었다. 산개나리의 생리적 특성으로 당년지 길이, 잎 크기 및 무게, 광색소 함량 및 잎 내 질소 함량, 광합성 특성을 분석하였다. 광량이 다른 두 시험구에서 측정한 산개나리의 잎 무게는 전광의 60% 광량을 가진 시험구의 잎이 20% 시험구 잎보다 무거웠으며, 잎 무게와 크기의 비율은 전광의 60% 시험구가 20% 시험구보다 1.47배 컸다. 산개나리 잎의 엽록소 a와 b 함량과 카로테노이드 함량 모두 전광의 60% 광량을 가진 시험구에서 높게 나타났으며, 총 엽록소 함량과 카로테노이드 함량의 비는 전광의 20% 시험구가 60% 시험구보다 높았다. 산개나리의 두 시험구에서 측정한 광합성 속도는 전광의 60% 광량을 가진 시험구가 20% 시험구보다 2.5배 이상 높았으며, 기공전도도와 증산 속도도 광합성 속도와 마찬가지로 전광의 60% 시험구가 20% 시험구보다 각각 2.65배와 1.79배 높았다. 그러나 수분이용효율은 전광의 20% 광량을 가진 시험구가 60% 시험구보다 높았다. 산개나리 잎의 질소 함량에 대한 총 엽록소 함량의 비는 20% 시험구가 60% 시험구보다 1.83배 높았으나, 총 엽록소 함량에 대한 순 광합성 량의 비는 60% 시험구가 20% 시험구보다 2.58배 높은 값을 나타냈다. 결론적으로 산개나리의 생장과 생리적 특성에 영향을 주는 가장 큰 요인은 광량이며, 광량이 높은 조건에서 산개나리의 생장과 생리적 특성은 개선될 수 있다고 판단된다.
