We monitored 32 wetlands in order to investigate the influence of aquatic plants on zooplankton density and diversity in the littoral zone in Gyeongsangnam-do from May to June in 2011. A total of 65 zooplankton species were identified in the study sites. Among them, the diversity of epiphytic zooplankton were higher (40 species) than planktonic zooplankton. Littoral zones of all wetlands were covered by various aquatic plants, and influenced the epiphytic zooplankton assemblages. Based on the data from $1{\times}1$ (m) quadrat sampling, epiphytic and planktonic rotifer density showed no significant relationships with macrophyte cover. However, the epiphytic cladocerans density significantly increased under high aquatic plant cover ($r^2=0.39$, p<0.05, n=32). Types of aquatic plants strongly influenced epiphytic zooplankton density. Upo and Jangcheok are locations which have well developed Phragmites communis and Ceratophyllum demersum communities in the littoral zone, and a higher density of epiphytic zooplankton was recorded on the surface of C. demersum. Especially, rotifers such as Lepadella, Monostyla and Testudinella showed obvious differences (One-way ANOVA, p<0.05 for all three species). This result suggests that epiphytic zooplankton have a substrate preference for larger surface areas, likely for adherence, on C. dimersum. In conclusion, the complex structure of the littoral plant community is expected to provide diverse refuge and microhabitats to epiphytic zooplankton.

The effects of number of host plants and nectar plants on the number and diversity of butterflies were monitored and analyzed by simple and multiple regression from May 2008 to Sep 2009 in the Bubjusa region (Mt. Sokri, Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do), which was divided into four regions. The results demonstrate that the number of butterflies has a positive correlation with the number of host plant species, the number of nectar plant species, and the number of host plants multiple regression analysis. The number of butterflies also increased habitat area. However, the butterfly species number and diversity index showed lower correlation with the number of host plants and the area size of the divided region, respectively, when analyzed by simple regression. In addition, increased species diversity in a region with more diverse plant flora. These results suggest that the composite distribution of host and nectar plants with diverse plant flora is required for butterfly diversity and population preservation. Additionally, it also suggest that vegetation types complementarity all factors.

We investigated the area around four moors from May 2009 to June 2010 for plant diversity in Moojechineup, officially designated as the Ramsar wetland. The vascular plants of Moojechineup at Mt. Jeongjok were recorded as total 149 taxa, 55 families, 105 genera, 128 species, 1 subspecies, 16 varieties, and 4 forms. Rare plants were observed 7 taxa (Eriophorum gracile Koch, Drosera rotundifolia L., Iris ensata var. spontanea (Makino) Nakai, Kobresia bellardii (All.) Degl, Utricularia bifida L., Utricularia racemosa Wall., Utricularia yakusimensis Masam.). Korean endemic plants were 1 taxon, floristics special plants were 19 taxa, and naturalized plants were 3 taxa. Phytogeographical and evolutionarily, Eriophorum gracile is an important species; hence, further studies are needed to conserve it. Moojechineup is similar to the Shinbulsan wetland in terms of wetland plants (hydrophytes). Moojechineup's flora changes are in process slowly compared to earlier work; thus, continuing interest and appropriate measures should be encouraged.

We investigated the genetic diversity of an endemic rare species, Forsythia ovata Nakai by examining 93 ISSR amplicons in 84 individuals distributed among five populations. The overall percentage of polymorphic ISSR amplicons was 54.8% and mean number of amplicons per ISSR primer was 6.6. The amount of genetic diversity was relatively lower than other shrub species. The Mt. Seokbyeong and Mt. Seorak B populations had the highest level of genetic diversity. Although the Seokgae-jae population had the lowest level of genetic diversity, the population was genetically the most distinctive from the other populations. About 30.6% of the total variation was allocated between five populations, which was slightly higher than other shrub species. Such a pattern of genetic variation may have resulted from the limited distribution and small population sizes of F. ovata. The UPGMA dendrogram based on Nei's genetic distance showed some decisive geographic patterns. These results suggest that, in addition to the preservation of the natural stands, the conservation of larger number of populations with small number of individuals per population is more effective for the dynamic ex situ conservation and for maintaining the genetic diversity of F. ovata than smaller number of populations with large number of individuals.

전 지구적으로 학명이 보고된 식물 종은 약 36만종이다. 그 중 종자를 생산하는 관속식물은 310,422종으로 전체 식물종의 85.7%에 달한다(IUCN, 2018). 그리고 2015년 Primely Forest Organization (PFO)에서는 야생식물의 80%가 산림 내에 서식한다고 밝혔다. 식물이 인류에게 주는 다양한 이로움은 인류의 생존과 복지증진에 막대한 영향을 미친다. 2016년 State Worlds Plants (SWP)에 따르면 인류가 현재까지 이용하는 식물종은 31,128종으로 알려져 있다. 이중 약용으로 17,810종, 식량으로 5,538종을 유용하게 이용하고 있다. 하지만 현재 전 지구적 생물멸종속도는 산업혁명 이전 보다 약 1,000배정도 빠르게 진행이 되고 있다(Science, 2017). 이에 전 지구적 생물다양성보전을 위해 생물다양성 협약, 지구식물보전전략 등이 지속적으로 발효 이행되고 있다. 시드볼트는 이러한 보전전략을 이행하기 위해 적합한 시설이다. 우리나라도 노르웨이와 전 세계적으로 2곳뿐이 없는 시드볼트를 가지게 되었다. 우리의 시드볼트는 전 지구적 재난과 재앙에 대비해 야생식물종자를 안전하게 영구 저장하는 시설이고, 우리나라는 봉화군에 위치한 국립백두대간수목원 내에 200만점 저장 규모로 조성이 되어 있다. 현재 국내 외 수집 수탁종자 48,327점이 안전하게 저장이 되어 있다. 국내 23개 종자관련 기관, 단체, 개인과 카자흐스탄 등 해외 3개국 6개 기관이 야생식물종자의 영구저장을 요청하였다. 앞으로 시드볼트는 통일시대에 대비하여 지구적 야생식물종자 저장의 컨트롤타워 역할과 종자연구의 중심기관으로 발돋움 할 것이다. 이에 따른 목표로 2050년까지 백두대간 글로벌시드볼트(BGSV)는 전세계 식물종의 13%, 40만점을 저장할 것이다. 특히 종자연구부분에서는 현재 종 맞춤형 활력검정시스템개발, 분류군별 장기저장 특성분석, 장기저장 종자수명예측 등을 고도화하여 한반도 야생식물 종자정보 플랫폼 구축, 고대 매장종자 보전 모델링 연구, 지구 종자연구 브릿지 구축 등으로 개발, 발전시킬 것이다.

This study was carried out to address an efficient in vitro regeneration system from seed-derived callus of Phragmites communis, and to evaluate genetic variations of the regenerants using ISSR markers. Shoot regeneration via calli was greatly influenced by N6 medium compared with MS medium, and plant regeneration frequency was 90% in N6 supplemented with BA 0.25 mg/L and BA 0.5 mg/L. According to ISSR analysis of the thirty regenerants, out of 94 loci detected overall, 16 were identified to be polymorphic with a rate (PR) of 17.0%. The mean gene diversity (h) of different in vitro condition was 0.03 and ranged from 0.008 for N6 with BA 5 mg/L, to 0.040 for MS with IAA 0.1 mg/L+kinetin 2 mg/L. The results indicate that the regenerants have a low genetic variation, and ISSR analysis is effective to detect genetic variation of regenerants.

Endophytic fungal strains were isolated from 5 aquatic plant species (Trapa japonica, Miscanthus sacchariflorus, Oenanthe javanica, Typha orientalis and Zizania latifolia) native to river wetland of tributary in Nakdong river. Total 34 strains were purely isolated, and then its internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions were amplified. After that, phylogenetic analysis based on ITS sequences and deduction of diversity indices were done. Fungal isolates were belonged to 17 genera, concretely in Acremonium, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Emericellopsis, Fusarium, Galactomyces, Leptosphaeria, Microsphaeropsis, Penicillium, Peyronellaea, Phoma, Pseudeurotium, Rhizomucor, Talaromyces, Trematosphaeria and Zalerion. Especially, fungal isolates were distributed intensively in genera Alternaria and Talaromyces. This study deals with the diversity of endophytic fungal species that showing symbiotic relationship with their host aquatic plants.
