본 연구는 국내 특산식물이며 신 관상식물로 기대되는 산꼬리풀[Veronica rotunda var. subintegra (Nakai) T.Yamaz.]의 효과적인 재배법을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 플러그 육묘는 파종용기와 파종량을 달리하였다. 재배는 묘의 소질, 식재용기, 토양종류 및 차광정도를 달리하여 처리하였다. 묘의 소질은 162, 200 및 288구 트레이를 이용하여 육묘한 묘를 사용였으며, 파종량은 1, 2, 4 및 6립을 파종하여 생산된 묘를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서 산꼬리풀의 육묘 시 트레이 종류는 162구가 적절하였으며, 셀 당 1립씩 파종할 경우 각 개체의 생육이 증가하였으나 4립 파종 시에는 전체 식물의 생육에 유리하였다. 묘의 소질에 따른 실험은 162구 트레이에서 생산된 묘와 4립씩 파종하여 생산된 묘에서 각기 우수한 생육을 보였다. 산꼬리풀 재배 시 식재용기의 용적량이 커질수록 지상부 및 지하부의 생육이 증가 하는 경향이었으며, 용기의 재질에 따른 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 토양조건별 생육은 원예상토에서 가장 왕성하였으며, 혼용토에서는 피트모스에 비해 마사토의 함량이 높은 조건에서 양호한 생육을 나타냈다.

This study investigated a suitable method that could be applied for Asian chain fern [Woodwardia japonica (L. f.) Sm.] to propagate gametophytes and promote sporophyte formation. The gametophytes used in all experiments were obtained from germinated spores in vitro and were subcultured at 8-week intervals. The most appropriate media for gametophyte propagation was identified by culturing 300 ㎎ of gametophyte in Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2), and Knop medium for 8 weeks. As a result, fresh weight of the gametophyte was increased by 56.7-fold on MS medium. Moreover, antheridium formation as well as gametophyte growth was improved on MS medium, especially. To improve the sporophyte formation ex vitro, 1.0 g of gametophyte was ground with distilled water and spread on eight combinations onto four different culture mediums, such as bed soil, peat moss, perlite and decomposed granite. Then generation and growth of sporophytes were investigated after cultivation for 10 weeks. As a result of this experiment, peat moss had a promotive effect of sporophyte formation at single-use and mixed culture soils. In particular, a mixture of bed soil, peat moss and perlite in a 1:1:1 ratio (v/v/v) led to the accelerated formation (782.5 ea/pot) and the frond growth of sporophytes. This included increases in length and width of fronds. However, promotive effect of gametophyte growth and sporophyte formation was not found at single-use and treatment with high ratio of bed soil.

본 연구는 진퍼리고사리의 전엽체 증식을 위한 배지를 선발하고, 포자체 증식을 위한 적정 배양토를 구명하여 대량생산 체계를 구축하고자 수행되었다. 전엽체 증식연구는 배지종류(1/4, 1/2, MS 배지, Knop 배지), sucrose (0, 1, 2, 3, 4%),의 농도를 달리한 배지에 전엽체 300 ㎎를 각각 접종하여 8주간 배양한 후 전엽체의 생육을 비교하였다. 포자체 형성 연구는 분쇄한 전엽체를 인공토양위에 접종하여 수행하였다. 인공토양은 원예상토, 펄라이트, 마사토의 비율을 다르게 조성하거나 원예상토단 용으로 사용했다. 그 후 접종한 전엽체를 12주간 배양한 다음 포자체 형성 및 생육을 조사하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 기내 전엽체는 2% sucrose를 첨가한 MS 배지에서 생체중과 생육이 가장 우수하였다. 포자체 형성을 위한 배양토 조성 실험에서는 원예상토:펄라이트 2:1(v:v)와 원예상토:마사토 2:1(v:v) 처리구에서 포자체의 형성이 가장 많았으며, 전반적인 생육은 원예상토:마사토 2:1(v:v)가 우수하였다.

본 연구는 중금속 오염지역의 토양정화에 적합한 식물을 선발하기 위해 국화과 15종을 중금속으로 오염된 토양에 8주 동안 재배한 다음 생육반응과 부위별 비소, 카드뮴, 구리, 납, 아연 등의 중금속의 축적능을 분석하였다. 톱풀을 제외한 가새쑥부쟁이, 금계국, 감국, 각시취 등의 생육은 비교적 양호하였다. 비소 축적능은 더위지기 지하부(25.52 ㎎·㎏-1)에서 가장 높았고 지상부는 바위구절초(3.35 ㎎·㎏-1)가 가장 우수하였다. 카드뮴은 왕갯쑥부쟁이 지상부(2.50 ㎎·㎏-1)에서 가장 높았다. 구리 축적능은 지상부와 지하부 모두 각시취(24.29, 99.92 ㎎·㎏-1)가 가장 높은 경향을 보였다. 국화과 15종의 지상부는 1.43(왕갯쑥부쟁이)∼5.00 ㎎·㎏-1(수리취)의 납이 축적되었다. 눈갯쑥부쟁이(140.09 ㎎·㎏-1), 쑥부쟁이(109.07 ㎎·㎏-1), 왕갯쑥부쟁이(100.21 ㎎·㎏-1) 등의 아연 축적능은 100 ㎎·㎏-1 이상으로 아연 오염 지역의 식물상 정화 기법 소재로 활용이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

This study was performed to develop a new natural antimicrobial materials by analyzing the effect of extracts obtained from Ten Lauraceae Species on the inhibitory activity against Propionibacterium acnes. The plant materials were collected from Wando and Jeju islands, and the antimicrobial activity of the crude extracts was examined by the agar diffusion method with different part (i.e., leaf and branch), solvents (i.e., distilled water, 80% ethanol, and 100% methanol) and at different ultrasonic extracting times (i.e., 15, 30, and 45 minutes). The control agents used were synthetic antimicrobials, methylparaben and phenoxyethanol, at concentrations of 0.4, 1, 2, and 4 ㎎/disc. Altogether, extracts of 10 species used in the study showed inhibitory activity, which confirmed their antimicrobial action against acnes. Among these, leaves of Laurus nobilis L. which was extracted in 80% ethanol for 45 min showed the largest clear zone (19.8 ㎜). Leaves of L. nobilis L., showing highest antimicrobial activities among 10 species, were successively reextracted with n-hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate and n-butanol. As a results, in all fractions except butanol, clear zone above 10 ㎜ were formed. The ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest inhibitory activity (13.3 ㎜) and the inhibitory activity was significantly higher than that of crude extract (10.2 ㎜) and phenoxyethanol as a control (12.5 ㎜).

This research was performed to develop mass propagation method of Alpine modest primrose (Primula modesta var. hannasanensis T.Yamaz.) for improving the conservation and utilization of the species. Seeds were collected on August 2011 in Jeju-city and well-selected seeds were dry-stored at 4 ± 1.0℃. Seed size ranged 0.44 ± 0.07 × 0.61 ± 0.04 ㎜, and weight of 1,000 seeds was 51.78 ± 0.021 ㎎. Thus the seed was classified as ‘dwarf seeds’. As the result of dormancy characteristics, moisture content of freshly matured seeds increased rapidly by water-soaking treatment and seeds did not germinate at 20℃ for 4 weeks under the light condition. Therefore, seeds were estimated to have physiological dormancy. Germination conditions of dry-stored seeds were found to be 20℃ and light condition, and seeds did not germinated under dark condition regardless of all temperature regimes. Therefore, Alpine modest primrose seed was considered as photoblastic type. Percent germination (PG) and germination energy (GE) were greatly improved by soaking the seeds in GA3 and kinetin for 24 hours. Especially, 200~500 ㎎/L GA3 treatment resulted in the highest PG (95.5%) and GE (98.3%). So, chemical treatment such as GA3 was thought to be a useful method for raising seedling uniformly.

This study was performed to develop the efficient phytoremediation model in the paddy soil contaminated with heavy metals by cultivating Pteris multifida and Artemisia princeps with different mixing ratios (1:0, 8:1, 6:1, 4:1). As a result of investigating the heavy metal accumulation of each plant per dried material (1 ㎏), content of arsenic and cadmium was the highest in aerial part of P. multifida (169.82, 1.70 ㎎·㎏-1 DW, each) among the treated group. Lead content was the highest (12.58 ㎎·㎏-1 DW) in the aerial part of P. multifida cultivated with 8:1 mixed planting. But the content of copper and zinc was the highest (33.94, 61.78 ㎎·㎏-1 DW, each) in the aerial part of A. princeps with 8:1 treatment. Regardless of heavy metals, plant uptake from the 1 ㎡ soil was the highest in 4:1 mixed planting group, which showed the best yield of A. princeps.

This research was performed to develop mass propagation method of round-leaved sundew (Drosera rotundifolia L.) for improving horticultural usefulness. Seeds were collected around Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do in October of 2011 and experimented upon while being dry-stored at 4 ± 1.0℃ (darkness). Seed length of a major and minor axis were 1.58 ± 0.060 and 0.21 ± 0.016 ㎜, respecrively, and weight of 1,000 seeds was 6.24 ± 0.172 ㎎. Seeds were thus classified as ‘dwarf seeds’. Regarding the dormancy type, since round-leaved sundew seeds were dormancy broken and germinated at 20~30℃ under the light condition after wet-chilling treatment for 12 weeks, seeds were estimated to have physiological dormancy. Germination conditions of dormancy broken seeds were found to be 20℃ and light condition (54.7%), but germination decreased at higher temperature. Percent germination (PG), germination energy (GE), mean germination time (MGT) and T50 were effectively improved by chemical treatment such as GA3 200 ㎎/L + kinetin 20 ㎎/L and wet-chilling treatment for 14 weeks. In conclusion these optimal conditions were thought to be a useful method for raising seedling uniformly.

Background : This study was carried out to survey the effect of IBA (indole-3-butric acid) concentration on root development characteristics in Viburnum dilatatum cuttings. Methods and Results : The cuttings were collected on July 28, 2016 from plants growing in Korea National Arboretum. Cuttings were treated with different IBA concentrations [0 (control), 10, 100, 1000, 2000 ㎎⋅L-¹] for 10 seconds. Rooting parameters (root number, the longest root length, root fresh weight, root dry weight, rooting percentage, and survival rate) were observed at 8 weeks after cuttings. Rooting percentage was 43, 33, 17, 47, and 40 % at 0, 10, 100, 1000, and 2000 ㎎⋅L-¹ of IBA, respectively. Root number (13.4) was highest under 1000 ㎎⋅L-¹ IBA. Root length (9.4 ㎝) and Root weight (fresh and dry) were highest under 1000 ㎎⋅L-¹ IBA. Conclusion : According to the results, 1000 ㎎⋅L-¹ IBA was the best treatment for increasing percentage rooting percentage and other root development characteristics of V. dilatatum cuttings.

This research was performed to develop seminal propagation method of Saururus chinensis (Lour.) Baill. by conducting a rigorous germination study. Well-selected seeds were dry-stored at 4 ± 1.0℃ during the experiment. To study dormancy type, non-stored seeds were analyzed by embryo observation, germination test and detecting for any difficulties in seed coat to absorb moisture. Then to improve germination, seeds were submerged for 24 hours in a solution of varying concentrations containing one of plant growth regulators and minerals. According to research, fleshly matured seeds had an undifferentiated embryo and had a low germination rate below 5%. In addition, water submersion led to moisture absorption, embryo in the seeds grew and germinated so it was deemed morphophysiological dormant seeds. Percent germination (PG) and germination energy (GE) was greatly improved by soaking in plant growth regulators and minerals for 24 hours. Especially, 500 ㎎/L GA3 treatment resulted in the highest GE as 46.1%. KNO3 meaningfully improved PG (54.3∼57.7%) at 10∼20 mM but effect of minerals on germination acceleration as GE were negatively impacted in all concentrations.
