  • Sparganium japonicum Rothert. is designated as a near threatened species by the National Institute of Biological Resources and is restrictively distributed in South Korea. To conserve and restore habitats of this plant, we investigated environmental characteristics and vegetation at five habitats during the growing season. Thirty plant species from seventeen families were found in the S. japonicum community. The species frequently found in this community included Utricularia vulgaris, Potamogeton distinctus, Phragmites japonica, Cicuta virosa, Persicaria thunbergii, Phragmites communis, Hydrilla verticillata. Maximum height of this plant reached at August and average height at five habitats is 120 cm at this time. Water and soil environmental factors showed low values compared with that of other wetlands. S. japonicum lived in not only shallow water level but also deep water level. These results can be helpful for S. japonicum habitat conservation and restoration.

  • 에 분포하는 기후변화 취약식물종인 목본식물 20종, 초본식물 18종 총 38종을 대상으로 2009년 5월부터 2010년 11월까지 식물계절 변화 모니터링을 실시하였다. 조사식물은 개엽, 개화, 낙화, 단풍, 낙엽 등 5개의 특성으로 구분하여 기후변화에 따른 아고산지대내 기후변화 취약종의 식물계절 변화를 분석하였다. 기상 자료는 2009년 11월 말부터 2010년 12월 초까지 측정되었으며 조사 결과, 기온은 향적봉-중봉 지역에서 최대가 $30.4^{\circ}C$, 최소가 $-20.3^{\circ}C$로 조사되었으며, 상대습도는 최고 100%, 최소 3.4%로 조사되었다. 덕유산 향적봉과 중봉지역의 개엽시기를 조사한 결과 박새, 산오풀 등을 제외한 대부분의 종들은 비슷하거나 전년도에 비해 6~20일 정도 늦게 나타났다. 개화시기는 식물계절 변화 중 가장 큰 차이를 보였으며, 이른 봄에 개화하는 처녀치마, 산철쭉, 노랑제비꽃은 2차년도에 13일~20일 빠른 것으로 관찰되었으며, 늦은 봄과 여름에 개화하는 백당나무, 풀솜대, 개시호 등은 2차년도에 6일~10일 늦은 것으로 나타났다. 낙화시기와 단풍시기는 전년도에 비해 10일~18일 늦은 것으로 나타났고, 낙엽시기는 전년도와 유사한 경향성을 보였다. 본 연구결과 기후변화의 영향이 한반도 아고산지대에 분포하는 기후변화 취약종들에게 상당히 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

  • An efficient and reproducible protocol for in vitro germination of seeds of Couroupita guianensis has been developed in the present study. Couroupita guianensis is a medicinally important tree and categorized as threatened plant species by the IUCN. The seeds were surface sterilized using 0.1% $HgCl_2$ and inoculated on MS (Murashige and Skoog) and Woody Plants (Llyod and McCown) medium. The seeds with partially removed seed coat responded better (100%) on half strength MS medium as compared to the full (51%), one-fourth strength MS (79%) and the WP medium. Half strength MS medium conjunct with $2.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ indole-3 butyric acid (IBA) was found best among the different types of auxins and cytokinins tested for seed germination, as all the seeds germinated on this medium combination. The seedlings were successfully hardened in the greenhouse and restored in the field with 83% survival rate. The protocol can be used as conservation measure for large scale multiplication of this threatened forest tree species.

  • The purpose of this study was to present the fundamental data for conservation and management of wetland ecosystem by surveying and analysing the vascular plants distributed in major wetlands, Gyeongju National Park. The study sites were Tohamsan wetland, Amgok wetland and Namsan wetland. The numbers of vascular plants were summarized as 200 taxa including 70 families, 145 genera, 171 species, 2 subspecies, 23 varieties and 4 forms. The threatened species designated by Ministry of Environment was Utricularia yakusimensis, and the rare plants were 7 taxa including Utricularia yakusimensis, Drosera rotundifolia, Mosla japonica, Utricularia bifida, Pogonia japonica, Utricularia racemosa and Iris ensata var. spontanea. The Korean endemic plants were Lespedeza maritima and Weigela subsessilis. The specific plants by floristic region were 12 taxa including 3 taxa of grade V, 1 taxa of grade IV, 1 taxa of grade III, 2 taxa of grade II and 5 taxa of grade I. The plants with approval for delivering oversea were 9 taxa including Glycine soja, Saussurea pulchella, Habenaria linearifolia and so forth. The naturalized platns were 5 taxa including Rumex obtusifolius, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Bidens frondosa, Erigeron annuus and Erigeron strigosus, the invasive alien plant was Ambrosia artemisiifolia.

  • Twenty-eight of 44 Indian Ceropegia species are endemic and their survival is threatened. As a step towards conservation, we implied in vitro methods for the sustainable propagule production in C. hirsuta, C. lawii, C. maccannii, C. oculata and C. sahyadrica. Effects of explant, growth regulators, sucrose and photoperiod were studied. High frequency microtuber production was achieved with the seedling-apical buds, grown on MS medium containing 4-6 mg $1^{-1}$ BAP, 3-8% (w/v) sucrose, under continuous illumination. Each microtuber, when subcultured proliferated to form a cluster of secondary microtubers. Every primary and secondary microtuber bore at least one shoot-bud and a root primordium. Each tuber (formed with any of the significantly effective treatments) weighed more than 500 mg, enough to plant directly in non-sterilized soils. Microtubers could be produced and proliferated round the year. Proliferation could be solely attributed to in vitro procedures as these plants bear solitary tubers in vivo. Microtubers could be sprouted in vitro to prepare ready to pot plantlets. As, this novel method succeeded for all five species, though they belong to different eco-physiological backgrounds, we recommend its implementation in the conservation programs for a broader range of Ceropegia species, supported by other integrated strategies.

  • We evaluated the actual distribution, present status, and number of remnant individuals of Korean Sagittaria aginashi (Alismataceae) based on herbarium specimens and field surveys. We also reidentified Korean S. aginashi by analyzing sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. We found nine specimens of S. aginashi in herbaria from four localities housed at the Osaka Museum of Natural History (OSA) and at the Korea National Herbarium (KH). During our field research, we could not confirm the current statuses of two collection localities (Taereung and Ansan-si), though this was not the case for Ulsan-si. In addition, we found two new localities in Ulsan-si and Yangsan-si. These three remnant populations are distributed in wetlands in mountainous areas (elev. 480-740 m). With regard to the number of flowering and immature individuals in the three localities, there were <50 and <2,000, respectively, in total. ITS sequences demonstrated that the sequences of Korean and Japanese S. aginashi are uniform and distinct from other Sagittaria species. These results indicate that S. aginashi is a rare and threatened species in Korea. It should be listed as an endangered species on the Korean Red List and requires urgent protection by conservation programs, including the extensive surveys of other possible natural habitats.

  • Saussurea dorogostaiskii Palib. (Asteraceae) is a critically endangered medicinal plant in Mongolia and Russia. We studied the genetic variation of S. dorogostaiskii from three mountains of northern Mongolia. The genetic profile was assessed in 70 individuals from eight populations using five inter-simple sequence repeat markers, producing 53 loci with 96.4% polymorphism across all bands. Shannon's index (I) and Nei's gene diversity (H) value at the species level of S. dorogostaiskii are 0.25 and 0.17, respectively. An AMOVA showed high genetic variation among the populations (22% of populations and 32% of mountains), consistent with the high genetic differentiation (GST = 0.49) and low gene flow (Nm = 0.51) in S. dorogostaiskii populations. Eight populations were clustered into two groups, corresponding to their geographic locations. The low within-population genetic diversity and high genetic differentiation among S. dorogostaiskii populations factor into their endangered designation. This genetic analysis reveals that all populations are equally threatened, and community-based conservation is appropriate for these species.

  • 가야산국립공원 내의 기후변화 취약 산림식물 및 국가기후 변화 지표 생물종을 파악하기 위해 2016년 3월부터 10월까지 총 28회에 걸쳐 조사하였다. 그 결과 기후변화 취약종은 총 39분류군이 분포하였고 북방계 11분류군, 남방계 2분류군, 관심식물은 26분류군으로 확인되었으며, 이중 자생종은 33분류군으로 확인되었다. 가야산국립공원의 아고산지역에 분포하는 기후변화 취약종으로는 전나무, 구상나무, 잣나무, 사스래나무, 매발톱나무, 흰참꽃나무, 산앵도나무, 설앵초, 기생꽃, 백리향, 병풍쌈, 솔나리가 해당되었으며, 이들은 수직적 분포역이 매우 좁은 것으로 확인됨에 따라 지구온난화의 영향에 취약할 것으로 예상된다. 아울러, 기후변화 취약종에 포함되지 않지만 본 지역의 산정에 자생하고 있는 한라송이풀, 세모산부추, 숙은처녀치마 등의 고유종과 식물구계학적 특정식물 V등급에 해당하는 여우꼬리풀, 구름병아리난초 등도 기후변화에 매우 취약할 것으로 예상되므로 이들에 대한 보전 방안이 절실하게 요구되며, 산정에 분포하는 잔존종에 대한 장기적인 모니터링을 통하여 기후변화취약종을 보다 객관적이고 타당한 분류군으로 재선정할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.
