Abstract

The leaf growth and physiological characteristics of Forsythia saxatilis were investigated at six natural habitats under different light intensities in Bukhansan in order to figure out an appropriate growth environment for conservation and restoration of F. saxatilis that is Korean endemic plant designated as rare and endangered species. Relative light intensities (RLI) at six habitats showed from 10% to 78% of the full sun. Leaf length, leaf width, leaf area and dry leaf weight of population under highest relative light intensity (78%) were the highest. The ratio of dry leaf weight to leaf area increased with the increase of RLI. The content of photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophyll a, b and carotenoid were the highest at 78% of RLI, whereas the ratio of total chlorophyll to carotenoid content reduced according to the increase of RLI. Photosynthetic parameters, such as photosynthetic rate, also increased with the increase of RLI. The total nonstructural carbohydrate (TNC) was 1.5 times higher at 78% of RLI than that at 10% of RLI and the total soluble sugar (TSS) was the highest at 78% of RLI. In conclusion, leaf characteristics and physiological characteristics have high positive correlation with light intensity. Therefore, light condition should be primarily considered to improve growth and physiology characteristics of F. saxatilis under low light intensity.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 특산식물이며, 희귀멸종위기식물인 산개나리의 유전자원 보존 및 복원을 위한 생육 환경 특성을 구명하기 위한 것으로, 서로 다른 광 조건을 가진 북한산 산개나리 개체군의 생장 및 생리적 특성을 조사 분석하였다. 산개나리 각 개체군의 광량은 전광의 10%에서 78%의 범위로 매우 다양하였다. 북한산 산개나리의 잎 길이, 잎 폭, 잎 면적 및 건중량은 광량이 높을수록 증가하였으며, 잎 건중량과 면적의 비도 광량이 높을수록 증가하였다. 산개나리 잎의 엽록소 a와 b의 함량과 카로테노이드 함량 모두 전광의 78% 광량을 가진 개체군에서 가장 높았으며, 총 엽록소 함량과 카로테노이드 함량의 비는 전광의 10% 광량을 가진 개체군에서 가장 높았다. 산개나리 개체군별 광합성 속도는 전광의 78% 광량을 가진 개체군이 전광의 10% 개체군보다 2배 이상 높았으며, 기공전도도, 증산속도, 암호흡 속도 및 순양자수율도 전광의 78% 광량을 가진 개체군에서 가장 높았다. 산개나리 잎에서 측정한 총 비구조 탄수화물 함량은 전광의 78% 광량을 가진 개체군에서 전광의 10% 광량을 가진 개체군보다 1.5배 이상 높았으며, 총 수용성 당 함량도 전광의 78% 광량을 가진 개체군에서 가장 높았다. 결론적으로 자생지에서 생장하는 산개나리의 생장과 생리적 특성은 광량과 정의 상관을 가지므로, 낮은 광량에서 자라는 산개나리 개체군의 생장과 생리적 특성을 개선하기 위해서는 광량이 우선적으로 고려되어야 한다.
