Abstract

Triploids are a useful tool for biomass production and molecular breeding of trees with a long life span. Triploids of the poplar 'Hyunsasi' (Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa) have been developed by crossing between female diploids and a male tetraploid. The tetraploid was developed around the 1970s at Korea Forest Research Institute by colchicine-induced chromosome doubling. Seedlings of the $F_1$ generation were analyzed using flow cytometry to verify their ploidy status. The mean relative fluorescence index of 3 F1 poplars, labeled as Line- 1, Line-17, Line-18, were approximately 1.5 times higher than those of diploid poplars, and the results clearly indicated that they were triploids. The phenotype of the F1 poplars included larger leaves and thicker stem than diploids, and abnormal leaf morphology, especially in the triploid 'Line-18'. Three triploid lines developed roots more slowly and had less roots than diploid. However, 3 poplar cytotypes (2x, Line-1, Line-17) rooted within 10 days on MS medium. In contrast, compared with the 3 cytotypes, the Line-18 showed about 80% and 70% in the rooting rate and the number of roots. The triploid poplars could be directly utilized for biomass production and with their sterility, they could serve as basic material for genetic transformation. In addition, flow cytometric analysis proved to be an effective and reliable method for screening forest trees for their ploidy level.

세대기간이 긴 임목에 있어 3배체는 바이오매스 생산과 분자생물학적 연구 분야에서 매우 유용한 연구재료이다. 1970년대 육성된 현사시나무 4배체와 일반 2배체 간의 인공교배를 통해 3배체가 육성되었다. 유세포 분석법을 이용해 이들 $F_1$의 배수성을 확인한 결과 14개체 중 10개체가 3배체로 선발되었다. 그 가운데 3계통의 3배체(Line-1, Line-17, Line-18)는 기내배양시 2배체에 비해 잎이 크고, 엽형이 다소 변형된 형태적 특징이 있었다. 특히 'Line-18'은 줄기가 2배체에 비해 굵었으며, 뿌리 생육에 있어서 발근이 더뎠고 뿌리수도 다른 3배체나 2배체에 비해 적은 특징을 보였다. 그러나 순화율은 모두 100%에 달하였다. 본 연구결과는 3배체 현사시나무가 바이오매스 생산 및 형질전환 연구를 위한 좋은 재료가 될 수 있음을 보여주는 결과이며, 또한 유세포 분석법이 배수체 육종시 배수체를 확인하는데 효율적인 방법임을 시사한다.
