본 연구는 일본잎갈나무 인공림에서 천연하종갱신을 이용한 후계림 조성 방법을 제안하고자 수행되었다. 이를 위해 2016년 경기도 가평에 모수작업과 개벌작업을 실시하여 시험지를 조성하고, 2014년에 조성된 경상북도 봉화의 시험지와 함께 천연갱신지의 종자결실 및 종자낙하 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 결실이 좋은 해에 V영급 일본잎갈나무의 개체 목당 종자 수는 690,340립이며, 모수가 ha당 25본인 일본잎갈나무 천연갱신지에서는 ha당 1,380만립의 종자가 결실되는 것으로 추정되었다. 종자의 비산은 9월부터 시작되었으며, 11월까지 낙하된 종자의 발아율은 종자품질 기준인 40%를 넘는 것으로 나타났다. 갱신유형별 종자 낙하량은 보잔목작업, 모수작업, 개벌작업 순이었고, 보잔목작업이 종자의 균등한 비산에 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 일본잎갈나무의 천연갱신을 위한 벌채와 갱신상 조성 시기는 종자가 비산하는 9월 이전이 효과적이고, 보잔목작업이 균일한 종자공급에 유리한 방법인 것으로 판단된다.

Current data on reproductive characters of endemic and native species are essential to provide a strategy for the conservation of these species. Red pine (Pinus densiflora Sieb. & Zucc.) is one of the dominant, native tree species in Korea, but its reproductive ecology is not well-known. In 1997, the pattern of variation in cone and seed yields contributing to the conservation of declining populations of red pines was examined. Plant height and dbh were measured, and several new cones were collected from each tagged tree after counting the number of cones on each tree. For a subset of cones sampled, the number of fertile scales, the number of seeds at three development stages (early/late aborted, and filled seed), seed wing size, wing color, and individual filled seed mass were measured. The three sites which differed significantly in mean plant size also differed in mean cone and seed production per plant. However further analyses showed that most variation in characters examined occurred among plants within sites, but not among sites. An average of 90% of the potential seeds on the cones aborted at an early developmental stage, demonstrating that early abortion is a major factor affecting the number of filled seeds per cone. Individual seed mass was the only character which exhibited significant variations among sites as well as among trees within sites. Individual seed mass was overall negatively correlated with both the percentage of late abortion and the number of old cones per plant, suggesting that both the past and current years' reproductive activities have caused variations in seed mass. The potential dispersal distance of red pine seeds is quite large. However, wing loading was correlated with seed mass and number in a complex pattern across the sites. Distribution of seeds with varied colored wings differed among sites and among trees within sites. These results suggest that red pines at different sites might possess different strategies to cope with selection pressures acting during the final phase of reproduction, from seed dispersal to establishment. Then the ‘fitted’ red pine trees at each site should be identified and managed to conserve or restore populations.

Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is widely distributed in the southern part of the United States and it has been used as a major economic species in the region due to its excellent growth and stem straightness. The tree also grows only in the southern part of Korea because it is susceptible to cold. Recently climate changes have had widespread impacts on forest trees. Thus, the use of good quality seeds is prerequisite for assessing assisted migration adaptation trial. In this study, we conducted to investigate its cone and seed characteristics of each family, which is expected to improve seeds productivity for planting valuable timber trees. A total of 14 families were selected from the experimental forest in Boseong, Jeonnam province in 1981. The seed production capacity was estimated to range from 87.2 to 129.4 among families and the average was 111.3. The number of aborted ovules was investigated in the range of 11.4 to 29.5 for the first test and 7.4 to 22.2 for the second test. The average number of empty and filled seeds was 1.4 and 79.2 per cone, respectively. Based on the results, we can conclude that there is a strong correlation between the number of fertile scale and the seed production ability.

경기도 화성군 반월면 속달리 소재의 백합나무 종자 산지 시험림을 대상으로 모수림 작업 전후의 유전다양성의 변화를 예측하기 위해서 총 305개체에 대한 I-SSR 표지자 분석을 수행하였다. 9개의 I-SSR primer를 이용하여 PCR을 수행한 결과 총 89개의 증폭산물 변이 체를 확인했으며, 속달리 시험림에 식재되어 있는 전 개체에 대한 다양도는 0.4532로 비교적 높은 수치를 보였다. 종자산지별로 구분하여 분석한 결과 미국 채종원산 종자를 양묘하여 식재한 개체군에서 가장 높은 다양도(0.4530)를 보였으며, 그 다음이 안양 산지로 0.4152, 전북 산지의 경우 0.3929로 가장 낮은 다양도를 보였다. 식재목의 형태적 특성과 식재 간격을 고려하여 두 번에 걸친 간벌을 수반하는 모수림 작업 결과 남겨질 37개 개체목에 대한 유전다양도 및 유전적 거리를 모의 통계분석한 결과, 종자 산지내 다양도는 전북이 28.3%로 가장 크게 감소했으며, 그 다음이 안양으로 16.3%, 미국이 8.0%로 가장 적게 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 개체목 감소율의 차이가 적었음에도 불구하고(87.5~88.2%) 다양도의 변화에 큰 차이가 나는 이유는 미국산 채종원 종자는 비교적 다수의 모수로부터 유래되었으나 안양 및 전북에서 생산된 종자들은 상대적으로 소수의 모수로부터 유래되었을 가능성이 크기 때문인 것으로 추정된다. 비록 2차에 걸친 간벌에 의해서 각 종자 산지내 개체간 다양도는 평균 17.5%가 감소했으나, 전체 37개체에 대한 다양도의 감소는 불과 6.1%에 지나지 않기 때문에 속달리 시험림에 식재되어 있는 305개체 중에서 종자생산을 목적으로 본 연구에서 선정한 기준에 따라 37개체를 잔존시키는 모수림 작업을 수행하더라도 이들로부터 생산될 차대들에 있어서 전체적인 유전다양성의 현격한 감소를 초래하지는 않을 것으로 생각된다.

Since forest trees form the basis of forest ecosystem, their prolong subsistence is crucial for various flora and fauna. The foremost challenges to sustain the forest ecosystem comprise of the declining forest tree population accompanied with structural changes due to afforestation and exploitation of forest area, environment changes, pests, pollution, and introgressive hybridization. For ex situ conservation approach, in vitro techniques encompass basic role for conserving tree genetic resources, predominantly where natural propagules like recalcitrant seed might not be appropriate for long-term conservation. The practice includes restricted growth techniques, conventional micropropagation, production and storage of synthetic seeds, and cryopreservation. Even though these practices have been applied chiefly to herbaceous species, but recently, woody species were also focused upon. Key conceptions, challenges and techniques for forest tree seed conservation are discussed briefly in this review with special emphasis on some successful cryopreservation approaches for long-term storage.

An evaluation was carried out on variability in morphology of fruits and seeds (number and weight) of Tetrapleura tetraptera (Schumach. and Thonn.) Taub. from different populations across its distribution range in Nigeria. Bulk fruit samples were collected and examined for variations in morphological characters. Differences in morphological character of fruits and seeds among the populations were determined using analysis of variance at 5% level of probability. The relationships among morphological characters were determined using Pearson correlation coefficient (r). Significant variations (p<0.05) existed among T. tetraptera populations for all the evaluated characters: fruit length, fruit width, number of seeds per fruit and seed weight. A positive significant strong correlation (r=0.96) was found between seed weight and number of seeds per fruit, while no correlation existed between fruit length, width and number of seeds. Seed weight was positively correlated with minimum altitude (r=0.97) and maximum altitude (r=0.99) of seed populations. Number of seeds was also significantly correlated with maximum altitude (r=0.965). There was no significant correlation between geo-climatic variables and fruit dimensions (length and width). Observed variations in morphological traits within and across populations of T. tetraptera may be used as proxy to estimate genetic diversity and selection of superior trees for improved productivity.

Seeds of Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge were collected from two plantations and two superior trees in Inner Mongolia: and one plantation and one superior tree in Liaoning, China in late August, 2011. Yellowhorn or goldenhorn is an important tree species, from the aspects of source of edible oil and biodiesel and pioneering capacity of degraded and desert land. Characteristics investigated were seed length, width, and weight: weight and volume of 1,000 seeds: and weight and volume of one-liter seeds. The seeds of Qingsonglingxiang No. 1, growing alone in an open space, showed the highest values in seed length (16.08 mm), width (14.48 mm) and weight (1.40 g), while those of Tree No. 160 in Ar Khorqin Banner were the lowest ones: that is, 11.48mm for length, 11.81 mm for width, and 0.73 g for weight, respectively. Traits of seeds varied quite much between trees and among areas; for example, Tree No. 38 and No. 160 produced quite different seeds in several traits, although they are adjacent to each other in the same farm. Weight of 1,000 seeds varied from 718.0 g to 1,010.1 g and volume from 0.76 L to 1.52 L. Weight of one-liter seeds were 522.3 g to 688.2 g, while the number of seeds were 603 to 935. Seeds which were soaked in the water at $4^{\circ}C$ for 2 days showed the highest germination rate (89%) in a 30-day test, which was about 10% to 40% higher than those of non-treatment and dipping treatment at $36^{\circ}C$ followed by keeping under room temperature for 2 days. 81% of seeds in the wet sand at room temperature germinated, while 23% of seeds deprived of seed coat germinated. It is necessary to understand seed traits to select superior clones or provenances for the increased, unfluctuating production of seed.

Birds play a main role in the formation and change of forest structures as they are seed-dispersal agents. This study aims to identify birds consuming fruits and seeds of the tree and their associated fruits and seeds on Jeju Island in the context on the forest restoration in Korea. We conducted field surveys twice a month from 2013 to 2015 at nine study sites located across Jeju Island and collected available photographic and observation records. A total of 50 species of birds consuming fruits and seeds of the tree were identified and birds belonging to Bombycillidae, Pycnonotidae, Zosteropidae, Sturnidae and Fringillidae were confirmed as major birds consuming fruits and seeds of the tree. Gulping was the dominant type of feeding as well as crushing, but relationship between the size of a bird and the number of fruit and seed species used by the bird was not significant. We also documented that 118 fruit and seed species were consumed by birds and that shrubby fruits and seeds were more consumed by birds than those of other plant types. The relative consumption rate of fruits and seeds ranged from 0.02 to 0.44, but five species were the most important fruits and seeds for birds. Our finding suggest that avian frugivorous gulpers will benefit the seed dispersal, especially of five fruiting plants, providing useful baseline data for forest restoration and urban park design.

본 연구에서는 -18℃ 및 4℃에서 18년간 저장된 소나무 종자 963개에 대해 FT NIR 스펙트럼을 조사하여 7개 머신러닝 방법(XGBoost, Boosted Tree, Bootstrap Forest, Neural Networks, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, PLS-DA)을 이용한 종자발아 예측모델을 만들고, 그 성능을 비교하였다. XGBoost 및 Boosted Tree 모델의 예측성능이 가장 우수하였으며, 정확도, 오분류율 및 AUC 값은 각각 0.9722, 0.0278, 0.9735과 0.9653, 0.0347, 0.9647이었다. 2개 모델에서 종자발아 유무를 예측하는 데 있어 상대적 중요도가 높았던 54개 파수 변수들에 대한 파장대는 크게 6개(811~1,088 nm, 1,137~1,273 nm, 1,336~1,453 nm, 1,666~1,671 nm, 1,879~2,045 nm, 2,058~2,409 nm) 그룹으로 나눌 수 있었으며, 방향족 아미노산, 셀룰로스, 리그닌, 전분, 지방산 및 수분과 관련된 것으로 추정되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합할 때, 본 연구에서 얻어진 FT NIR 스펙트럼 데이터과 2개의 머신러닝 모델은 소나무 저장종자의 발아 유무를 정확도 96% 이상으로 예측할 수 있기에 장기저장 종자 유전자원의 비파괴적 활력검정에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
