Abstract
This research was carried out to elucidate the photosnthesis, respiration, and intercellullar $CO_2$ concentration of Kalopanax pictus leaves. The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. The light compensation points in leaves of Kalopanax pictus seedlings were in the following order; the upper ($34{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$) middle ($29{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$) lower leaves ($24{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$). The light saturated points were at $800{\sim}1200{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ in the upper leaves and $400{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ in the middle and lower leaves. At the light saturated points, the net photosynthesis rate was in the following order; the upper ($11.1{\mu}mol\;CO_2\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$) middle ($5.15{\mu}mol\;CO_2\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$) lower leaves ($4.01{\mu}mol\;CO_2\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$). The light use efficiency was in the following order; the upper ($0.041{\mu}mol\;CO_2\;{\mu}mol^{-1}$) middle ($0.040{\mu}mol\;CO_2\;{\mu}mol^{-1}$) lower leaves ($0.039{\mu}mol\;CO_2\;{\mu}mol^{-1}$). 2. In the upper leaves of Kalopanax pictus seedlings, the stomatal conductance increased continuously with increasing light intensity. In the middle and lower leaves, it was saturated at $400{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$. 3. In the upper, middle and lower leaves of Kalopanax pictus seedlings, the intercellular $CO_2$ concentration/the atmospheric $CO_2$ concentration ($C_i/C_a$) ratio rapidly decreased to $600{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$, and then showed a constant values. 4. In the upper leaves of Kalopanax pictus seedlings, the photorespiration rate was $3.34{\mu}mol\;CO_2\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ and $CO_2$ compensation point was $48.7{\mu}mol\;mol^{-1}$. Dark respiration rate increased exponentially with increasing leaf temperature, and the photorespiration rate was 2.4 times higher than dark respiration rate.
음나무 엽의 생리반응 특성을 구명하기위하여 광도별 광합성속도, 그리고 호흡속도를 측정한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 음나무의 광보상점은 상엽 ($34{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}S^{-1}$) > 중엽($29{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}S^{-1}$) > 하엽 ($25{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}S^{-1}$) 순위였고, 광포화점은 상엽이 $800{\sim}1,200{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}S^{-1}$, 중엽과 하엽이 $400{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}S^{-1}$이였다. 광포화시 순광합성속도의 크기는 상엽($11.1{\mu}mol\;CO_2\;m^{-2}S^{-1}$) > 중엽 ($5.15{\mu}mol\;CO_2\;m^{-2}S^{-1}$) > 하엽 ($4.01{\mu}mol\;CO_2\;m^{-2}S^{-1}$) 순위였다. 광양자이용효율은 하엽($0.041{\mu}mol\;CO_2\;{\mu}mol^{-1}$). 중엽($0.040{\mu}mol\;CO_2\;{\mu}mol^{-1}$). 하엽($0.039{\mu}mol\;CO_2\;{\mu}mol^{-1}$) 순위였다. 2. 상엽의 기공전도도는 광도의 증가와 함께 계속적으로 증가한 반면, 중엽과 하엽은 광도 $400{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}S^{-1}$부터 더 이상 증가하지 않았다. 3 엽육세포간극의 $CO_2$농도/대기중 $CO_2$농도($C_i/C_a$) 비율은 상엽, 중엽, 하엽 모두에서 광도 $600{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}S^{-1}$까지 감소하였고, 그 이상의 광도에선 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 4. 상엽의 광호흡속도는 약 $3.34{\mu}mol\;CO_2\;m^{-2}S^{-1}$이였고, $CO_2$ 보상점은 $48.7{\mu}mol\;mol^{-1}$이었다. 암호흡속도는 옹도의 증가와 함께 지수함수적으로 증가하였으며, 광호흡속도는 암호흡속도의 약 2.4배 정도였다.
