  • 한반도 동해 연안에 자생하는 거머리말의 종 내 형태적 변이의 한계를 파악하기 위하여 1998년 6월부터 8월까지 (동해 중부 화진포에서부터 남부 대변까지) 식물체를 채집 비교 분석하였다. 거머리말은 연안의 석호, 항구와 만의 다양한 생육지에서 출현하였다. 생체를 대상으로 형태학적 주요 형질은 직접 측정되었으며, 이들 자료로 형질의 상관관계, 주성분 분석과 군집분석을 하였다. 외부형질의 특징에 따라 거머리말은 단협엽형, 장광엽형의 두 그룹으로 구분되었으며, 엽두 형태는 원두, 둔두, 미요두, 소요두, 유두, 예두와 미철두로 각 생육지와 집단 내에서도 변이가 다양하게 출현하였다. 동해연안에 생육하는 거머리말의 군집들은 생육환경에 따라 식물체 크기와 외부형질 변이 폭이 큰 것으로 밝혀졌다.

  • Lespedeza maximowiczii C. K. Schneid. (Fabaceae) is a deciduous shrub which is known to be distributed in the temperate forests of China, Korea and on Tsushima Island of Japan. Due to severe morphological variations within species, numerous examinations have been conducted for Korean L. maximowiczii. However, the morphology of Chinese plants has not been studied as thoroughly, despite doubts about their taxonomy. To clarify this taxonomic issue, we investigated morphological characters and undertook a Bayesian clustering analysis with microsatellite markers. The morphological and genetic traits of Chinese individuals varied considerably from those of typical L. maximowiczii growing in Korea. For example, petals of the former had a different shape and bore long claws, while the calyx lobes were diverged above the middle and the upper surface of the leaflet was pubescent. Their terete buds and spirally arranged bud scales were distinct from those within the series/section Heterolespedeza, which includes L. maximowiczii. Our Bayesian clustering analysis additionally included L. buergeri as an outgroup. Those results indicated that the Chinese samples clustered into a lineage separated from L. maximowiczii (optimum cluster, K = 2), despite the fact that the latter is grouped into the same lineage with L. buergeri. Therefore, we treat those Chinese plants as a new species with the name L. pseudomaximowiczii.

  • 공변세포는 선태류, 양치류 그리고 모든 관다발식물의 잎에서 발견되며, 공변세포벽의 특징은 식물에 따라 매우 다양하고 특수하다. 식물에서 공변세포의 형태적 특징은 단자엽식물과 쌍자엽식물에서 관찰할 수 있는 두 종류로 분류되어 왔다. 일반적으로 단자엽식물은 아령형이고 쌍자엽식물은 콩팥형으로 알고 있다. 그러나 많은 단자엽식물의 공변세포는 콩팥형이다. 벼과에 속하는 옥수수와 벼 그리고 사초과의 공변세포는 아령형이다. 아령형의 공변세포를 보이는 식물은 부세포가 있다. 쌍자엽식물의 공변세포는 대부분 콩팥형이며 부세포가 없는 것이 특징이다. 기공은 공변세포와 부세포로 구성되어 있는 것으로 알고 있으나, 대부분의 쌍자엽식물은 부세포가 없다. 이제까지 단자엽식물은 공변세포 모양이 아령형이며 쌍자엽식물은 콩팥형으로 알고 있으나, 결론적으로 공변세포의 모양은 단자엽식물과 쌍자엽식물에 의해 분류되지 않으며 대부분의 벼과와 사초과를 제외하면 단자엽식물의 공변세포도 콩팥형이다. 돌나물은 공변세포가 가늘고 긴 입술형 그리고 자주달개비의 공변세포는 완벽하게 반달형이다. 따라서 콩팥형의 경우는 식물에 따라 그 모양이 모두 다르다고 할 수 있으며, 아령형의 경우는 그 공변세포의 형태가 비교적 일정하다.

  • We investigated the variation of morphological features, density, biomass and characteristics of reproductive shoot on Zostera marina. This species was monthly monitored and collected during a year in Tongyeong (from January 2016 to December 2016). Morphological features, biomass and density showed significantly seasonal variation (p<0.001). Dimensions of Z. marina were highest in spring and early summer but lowest in winter. Biomass and leaf density of Z. marina showed highest value in May (4,700.5 g w·wt m-2) and June (858.0 leaves m-2) respectively and lowest value in November (515.9 g w·wt m-2 and 312.0 leaves m-2). Reproductive shoot was monitored from April (13℃) to June (21℃) and grew up to ca. 200 cm. Spathe length, spadix weight, numbers and weight of fruit showed significantly different on monthly. None mature flowers were monitored in April but matured flowers, fruits were founded in May and seed releasing were occurred in June.

  • The fungal genus Suillus Micheli ex S. F. Gray plays important roles in the survival and growth of plant seedlings. Humans have utilized these ectomycorrhizal fungi to enhance the nutrient uptake and defense systems of plants, particularly in the reforestation of coniferous forests. The genus Suillus is easily distinguishable by its distinctive morphological features, although the morphology of the fruiting body does not facilitate reliable interspecies discrimination. On the basis of micro-morphological features and internal transcribed spacer sequence analysis, we found that 51 of 117 Korean Suillus specimens had initially been misidentified. The list of the 12 Suillus species previously recorded in Korea was re-evaluated and revised to only eight distinct species: S. americanus, S. bovinus, S. granulatus, S. grevillei, S. luteus, S. pictus, S. placidus, and S. viscidus. We provide taxonomical descriptions for six of these species from the sample specimens.

  • In order to investigate early identification of species of the wood-decaying fungi in the the mycelial stage, the authors isolated of 41 species, 28 genus, 9 family at 8 locations in Korea and cultivated these isolates on the various kinds of solid media. After investigating such cultural characteristics as oxidase reactions with tannic and gallic acid, various morphological features of colony and growth grade, appeared on the various media, the authors obtained the following results : 1. The oxidase reactions with tannic and gallic acid in the PDTA, DTA, PDGA and DGA media are available for identificantion of the wood-decaying fungi. 2. The oxidase reactions with guaiacol, pyrogallol and hydroquinone in the PDGUA, PDPA and PDHA media are not so much available for identification of the wood-decaying fungi. 3. Morphological features of colonies such as mycelium color, floccose, floccose-powdery, mycelloid, powdery-mycelloid, velvet, radiate, contoured, rosulate and growth grade on the PDA, PSA and PXA media are useful for identification of wood-decaying fungi. 4. It is believed that early identification in species level of wood-decaying fungi using cultural characteristics in the mycelial stage is possible. 5. The key for the identification of 41 species of wood-decaying fungi is proposed by the cultural characteristics using several solid media.

  • Objective: To investigate the stem cell-like characteristics of human periodontal ligament (PDL) stromal cells outgrown from orthodontically extracted premolars and to evaluate the potential for myogenic differentiation. Methods: PDL stromal cells were obtained from extracted premolars by using the outgrowth method. Cell morphological features, self-replication capability, and the presence of cell-surface markers, along with osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation, were confirmed. In addition, myogenic differentiation was induced by the use of 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza) for DNA demethylation. Results: PDL stromal cells showed growth patterns and morphological features similar to those of fibroblasts. In contrast, the proliferation rates of premolar PDL stromal cells were similar to those of bone marrow and adipogenic stem cells. PDL stromal cells expressed surface markers of human mesenchymal stem cells (i.e., CD90 and CD105), but not those of hematopoietic stem cells (i.e., CD31 and CD34). PDL stromal cells were differentiated into osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic lineages. Myotube structures were induced in PDL stromal cells after 5-Aza pretreatment, but not in the absence of 5-Aza pretreatment. Conclusions: PDL stromal cells isolated from extracted premolars can potentially be a good source of postnatal stem cells for oromaxillofacial regeneration in bone and muscle.

  • Purpose: To determine whether the morphological features of the palatal rugae are associated with sex and age in children and adolescents. Methods: A total of 300 diagnostic models of the palatal rugae of children and adolescents were collected. The models were classified into male and female and<13- and ≥13-year-old groups. The palatal rugae pattern, and the number and length of palatal rugae plicae, were analyzed. Results: The number of palatal rugae plicae was higher in females than in males, however, the difference was negligible. In the group aged 13 years or more, the number was higher in the male group on the left side. There was no association between the number of palatal rugae plicae and age group. The type I pattern was the most common in both males and females. The length of palatal rugae plicae was greater in males than in females. There was no association between the length of palatal rugae plicae and age group. Conclusions: The number and length of palatal rugae were associated with sex, but the morphological features of the palatal rugae could not distinguish between children and adolescents. These findings suggest that the palatal rugae have limited value for identification of individuals.
