Abstract

Japanese larch (Larix leptolepis) has been extensively planted in Korea as a reforestation species but their supply has been a major bottleneck due to sporadic natural seed production. In this study, stem girdling was applied to 32-year-old grafted Japanese larches, resulting in significantly enhanced seed production compared to the controls. Stem girdling induced about 4 times higher cone production than that of controls in the Japanese larch seed orchard. Time-dependent metabolic alterations after girdling were investigated by stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer, HPLC, and GC-MS analysis. In girdled trees, the contents of total nitrogen, sucrose, and total free amino acids were significantly higher than the non-girdled trees at the flowering differentiation season (from July to August). Moreover, the numbers of female strobilus per tree were positively correlated with the contents of both total nitrogen (r=0.765, p<0.01) and total amino acids (r=0.802, p<0.01) in the bark being collected at the flowering differentiation time (August 20). Interestingly, the levels of various individual amino acids at the flowering differentiation times, such as aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, serine, and cysteine, were also significantly correlated (p<0.05) with the numbers of strobilus, suggesting that those amino acids might be involved in the induction of female strobilus formation of Japanese larches.

낙엽송(Larix kaempferi) 채종원의 종자생산을 증진하기 위하여 접목 32년생의 채종목에 환상박피 처리를 하였다. 환상박피처리에 의하여 무처리보다 4배에 이르는 착과량 증가 효과가 있어 환상박피 처리의 효과가 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 환상박피 처리에 의한 낙엽송 주간 수피조직내의 대사물질의 변화를 IR-MS, GC-MS 및 HPLC로 분석하여 무처리와 비교한 결과 전질소 함량, sucrose 함량 및 전체 유리 아미노산의 함량이 무처리에 비해 유의적(p<0.05)으로 증가되었다. 또한 유리아미노산의 경우 화아원기가 형성되는 8월의 aspartic acid, glutamic acd, glycine, serine, cysteine, threonine 및 alanine이 환상박피 처리에서 무처리에 비해 유의적으로 높게 함유된 것으로 나타났다. 대사물질과 착과량간에 상관관계를 분석한 결과 착과량과 수피조직내의 전질소 함량(r=0.765, p<0.01)과 전체 유리 아미노산 함량(r=0.802, p<0.01)간에 고도의 정의 상관관계가 있었다. 특히, 화아원기 형성기인 7월 및 8월의 수피조직내의 aspartic acid, glutamic acd, glycine, serine 및 cysteine이 착과량과 정의 상관관계(p<0.05)가 있어, 아미노산의 질소화합물 인자가 낙엽송 화아원기 유도에 직, 간접적으로 관련이 있을 것으로 추정되었다.
