본 연구는 19년생 상수리나무 육종실생채종원에서 다양한 유전간벌 모형(간벌 방법 및 강도)에 따른 개량효과와 유전다양성을 추정함으로써, 본 채종원에 적합한 유전간벌 방법 및 강도를 선정하기 위해 실시하였다. 간벌 방법은 개체간벌, 가계간벌, 가계+가계 내 개체간벌을 적용하였으며, 간벌강도는 10% 단위로 10∼90%의 간벌강도를 적용하였다. 개체간벌은 모든 간벌강도에서 가장 높은 개량효과가 나타났지만, 유효집단크기를 이용하여 추정한 유전다양성은 가장 낮게 나타났다. 가계간벌은 가장 높은 유전다양성이 나타났지만, 잔존 가계수가 적고 개량효과가 극히 낮아 본 채종원에 적용할 간벌 방법으로는 부적절하였다. 가계+가계 내 개체간벌 방법은 높은 개량효과가 추정되면서, 안정된 유전다양성이 유지되었다. 간벌강도는 가계수와 유전다양성이 일정하게 유지되면서, 높은 개량효과를 얻을 수 있는 60%의 간벌강도가 적절한 것으로 생각되었다. 결론적으로 본 상수리나무 육종실생채종원 관리를 위하여 개량효과를 높이면서 유전다양성을 안정적으로 유지할 수 있는 가계+가계내 개체간벌 방안을 제시하는 바이다. 또한 상수리나무 채종원 관리자는 목적하는 개량효과 달성 및 유전다양성 유지에 필요한 유전간벌 강도를 설정할 수 있을 것이다.

We have cloned an LTP gene (PoLTP1) from poplar (Populus alba × P. tremula var. glandulosa) suspension cells and examined changes in its expression levels in response to various stresses and ABA treatment. The full-length PoLTP1 cDNA clone encodes a polypeptide of 116 amino acids with typical characteristics of LTPs, notably a conserved arrangement of cysteine residues. Southern blot analysis indicate that two or three copies of the PoLTP1 are present in the genome of the investigated hybrid poplar. In addition, northern analysis of samples from soil-grown plants indicate that PoLTP1 is tissue-specifically expressed in the leaves and flowers. The gene is significantly up-regulated by treatment with mannitol, NaCl and ABA, but not by either cold or wounding. These results indicate that PoLTP1 is involved in osmotic stress responses in poplar plants and suspension cells.

The present study intends to investigate the transient response of an atmosphere/ocean general circulation model to a gradual increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide. To detect the climatic change of the surface air temperature due to gradual increasing carbon dioxide for 100 years, two runs of GFDL CGCM for 1 % CO_2 run with increasing CO_2 and the control run with fixed CO_2 are compared. From results it is noted that the transient response of surface air temperature is more increased over the Northern Hemisphere than the Southern Hemisphere. However, in Northern Hemisphere the transient response of the surface air temperature due to the gradual increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide is slowly increased with latitudes and is clearly larger over continents than oceans. The annual global mean temperature is continuously increased with 0.03552 per one year with strong S/N ratio and distinguished from the natural variability. The time dependent response of the gradual increasing CO_2 has the strong seasonal variability with small change in summer and large change in winter, and the strong regionality in the Asian and the American continents. It has been suggested that the direct and the feedback processes in the climate systems should be investigated by the detailed sensitivity runs to get the meaningful estimate of the CO_2 forced variability.
