We examined the floral morphology of 15 taxa of five genera (Cynanchum, Marsdenia, Metaplexis, Tylophora, and Vincetoxicum) in Korean Asclepiadoideae using a stereoscopic and scanning electronic microscope to clarify and describe the floral characteristics. In this study, the corolla and corona types, the types of corona lobes, appendages on the corona lobes, and the apex shape of the style head are considered as diagnostic characteristics at the generic level. The genus Vincetoxicum, which is treated as a synonym of the genus Cynanchum in Korea, is distinguished from Cynanchum by the interstaminal part on the corona, fleshy and mainly triangular or ellipsoid corona lobes, and various corolla colors. In Cynanchum, various corona types have been observed, while Vincetoxicum have similar corona types among the taxa. In addition, the main floral characteristics at the species level were as follows: flowering time, inflorescence, corolla color, trichomes on the corolla surfaces, apex shape of the corona lobe, and trichomes on the ovary. This study presents the taxonomic importance of floral morphology by providing descriptions and diagnostic characteristics among the genera and species investigated.

Floral morphology of Magnoliaceae and Illiciaceae in Korea is investigated. Magnoliaceae has long and elongate floral axis where numerous stamens and pistils are pistils are spirally arranged, whereas Illiciaceae has short floral axis and pistils are arranged in a single whorl on the axis. The stamens are basically similar in both families; winged and broad filament, prominant connective, long sporangium, and no clear limitation between fertile and sterile parts, which are primitive characters in stamen. The ovaries are the conduplicate type, in both, with decurrent stigma, stigmatic surface confined to stylar position, and no distinct style. Magnoliaceae has one locule and two ovules, whereas Illiciaceae has one locule and one ovule. The ovule is anatropous or hemianatropus, and has bitegmic integument and crassinucellate nucellus.

A comparative floral morphological study of 19 taxa in Persicaria sect. Cephalophilon with four taxa related to Koenigia was conducted to evaluate the taxonomic implications. The flowers of P. sect. Cephalophilon have (four-)five-lobed tepals; five, six, or eight stamens, and one pistil with two or three styles. The size range of each floral characteristic varies according to the taxa; generally P. humilis, P. glacialis var. glacialis and Koenigia taxa have rather small floral sizes. The connate degrees of the tepal lobes and styles also vary. The tepal epidermis consists of elongated rectangular cells with variation of the anticlinal cell walls (ACWs). Two types of glandular trichomes are found. The peltate glandular trichome (PT) was observed in nearly all of the studied taxa. The PT was consistently distributed on the outer tepal of P. sect. Cephalophilon, while Koenigia taxa and P. glacialis var. glacialis had this type of trichome on both sides of the tepal. P. criopolitana had only long-stalked pilate-glandular trichomes (LT) on the outer tepal. The nectary is distributed on the basal part of the inner tepal, with three possible shapes: dome-like, elongated, and disc-like nectary. The nectaries are always accompanied by elongated or spheroidal papillae. Various combinations of floral characters (e.g., the numbers of stamens and styles, the stigma shape, the nectary shape, ACWs, cuticular striation and the trichome type and distribution) of P. sect. Cephalophilon are useful when attempting to recognize the infrasectional levels of P. sect. Cephalophilon recently proposed. Here, we describe the floral characteristics in detail and discuss the taxonomic significance of the floral characters.

Pollens of 20 species of Sedum were investigated with a scanning electron microscope. The pollen morphology of Sedum was rather variable, within particular species or even within a single inflorescence. Differences occurred in the number and shape of apertures and surface sculpture. Besides 3-colporate, various aperture types including 2-syncolporate, 3-syncolporate, 40stephanocolporate, 5-stephanocolporate, zonate, and irregular types were found in a single specimen. Also, striate-rugulose and psilate sculpture were found in S. viviparum. No correlation was found between the pollen morphology and the floral formula. Pollen characters appeared to be not useful for infrageneric classification of Korean Sedum.

국내 도입된 하이부쉬 블루베리의 품종 선발의 기초 자료로 활용하기 위하여 블루베리의 형태적 및 품종별 화기 특성에 관해 연구하였다. 블루베리의 수술의 형태를 보면 화사는 판형이었고 모용이 잘 발달되어 있으며, 개약 시 약벽이 열개되지 않고 돌출된 두 개의 관으로 꽃가루가 배출되어 독특하였다. 화분은 3월 하순경에 감수 분열된 후에 분리되지 않은 채로 성숙한 사분자 화분(tetrad pollen)이었다. 약당 사분자 화분립 수는 400~1,300개였으며, 화분립 수가 많은 품종이 발아율도 높은 편이었다. 블루베리의 암술은 5개의 심피로 구성되어 있으며, 화주는 갈라진 부분이 없이 하나였다. 자방당 배주 수는 39~67개 정도였으며, 각 품종별로 변이 계수가 11.6~31.0%로 큰 편이었다. ‘Bluejay’와 ‘Sharpblue’간의 자가 및 타가교배 결과 자가교배보다 타가교배에서 종자 형성률이 높았다.

꽃목굽음 현상(bent peduncle phenomenon, BPP)은 절화장미의 생산성 저하를 유발하는 생리적 장해의 하나로 알려져 있으나, 관련 기작이 명확히 구명되어 있지 않아 아직까지 대책 마련이 곤란한 실정이다. 이를 해결하고자 국내육성 장미 품종인 'Beast'(Rosa hybrida L. 'Beast')를 대상으로 꽃목굽음지의 화기형태, 생장, 내생 호르몬 변화 특성을 분석하였다. 화기형태 관찰을 통해 꽃목굽음지는 5개의 꽃받침조각 중 하나가 조기에 형성되고 엽상화되면서 대화현상을 나타냈다. 연중 BPP 발생 빈도는 계절에 따라 5-20%로 여름철 고온기에 급증하였다. 꽃목굽음지는 정상지와 비교하여 꽃목굽음 증상 외 생장량과 속도면에서 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 꽃으로의 동화산물 분배는 현저하게 감소되었다. 정상지와는 달리 꽃목굽음지에서의 내생 호르몬 IAA 함량은 화아발육기간 내내 높게 유지되었으나, $GA_3$ 함량은 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구에서 BPP는 고온과 관련된 특정 꽃받침조각의 엽상화, 대화현상을 나타내면서 꽃으로의 동화산물 불균형 분배, 높은 IAA에 의해 유발되는 것으로 보인다.

Menyanthes trifoliata L., a heterostyly plant, is an endangered species in Korea. Floral morphology has been published for M. trifoliata, but few works have concentrated on pollen dimorphism differences accompanied by floral dimorphism. Here, we conducted a comparative morphological study of two morphs to investigate a dimorphism system with Korean populations. Pollen morphological characteristics were observed with a light microscope and a scanning electron microscope. For the pin type, pollen size is 36.01 ± 2.01 ㎛, whereas for the thrum type it is 41.28 ± 2.58 ㎛ in terms of the equatorial diameter. The two morphs have a small apocolpium field at 5.62 ± 0.30 for the pin type and 6.24 ± 0.70 for the thrum type. The configuration of the aperture was tricolpate with a striate ridge in the two morphs. However, they have different pollen shapes and sizes, stigma shapes, and apocolpium sizes. M. trifoliata only has different pollen sizes and shapes between European populations and Korean populations. Nevertheless, Korean populations also show pollen dimorphism correlated with their floral dimorphism.

Leaf mesophyll protoplasts of Nicotiana tabacum (nitrate reductase deficient mutant) were fused with cell suspension protoplasts of albino Petunia inflata in an electric field. Hybrid cell colonies were selected for nitrate reductase proficiency and chlorophyll synthesis. Five hybrid plant lines, regenerated from the selected calli lines, were analysed by electrophoresis, number of chromosomes and morphological characters. Somtic hybrid plants showed both parent patterns in the isozymesof isoleucine aminopeptidase and esterase. The hybrids had the expected chromosome number of 62 and exhibited an intermediate floral morphology when compared with the parents, but plant height and leaf arrangement were similar to N. tabacum.

The analysis in external morphology of Astilbe including three endemic species in Korea was undertaken. From this study, five species and three varieties of Astilbe in Korea were redescribed. Their scientific names and Korean names were also consulted. Korean Astilbe could be grouped in two Series-Series 1. Simplicifoliae; Astilbe simplicifoliae and Series 2. compositae; A. taquetii, A. microphylla, A. chiensis var. chinensis, A. chinensis var. paniculata, A. chinensis var. davidii, A. divaricata, A. koreana. Interspecific relationships of eight taxa were represented as a toxonomic model by the considering their external morphology-pubescence on floral axis and surface of leafblade, inflorescence type, ratio of petal and stamen length-and distributional range in Korea and neighboring countries.
