Abstract

The objective of this study was to elucidate the tolerance of woody plants to simulated acid rain in relation to mycorrhizal inoculation. Germinating seedlings of Robinia pseudoacacia were planted in 1I pots with autoclaved soil mixture of vermiculite, sand and nursery soil at 1:1:1 ratio. Each pot was inoculated with both crushed root nodules from a wild tree of the same species and commercial arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculum of Glomus intraradices at the time of planting the seedlings. Simulated acid rains at pH 2.6, 3.6, 4.6, and 5.6 were made by mixing sulfuric acid and nitric acid at 3: 1 ratio. Each pot received nutrient solution without N and P, and was also supplied with 180 ml of the one pH level of the acid rains once a week for 50 days. The plants were grown in the green house. At the end of experimental period, plants were harvested to determine contents of chlorophyll, mineral nutrients and net photosynthesis in the tissues, dry weight of the plants, and mycorrhizal infection in the roots. Mycorrhizal infection rate was significantly reduced only at pH 2.6, which meant vitality of G intraradices was inhibited at extremely low pH. Height growth, dry weight production, nodule production and chlorophyll content were increased by mycorrhizal infection in all the pH levels except pH 3.6. Particularly, mycorrhizal inoculation increased root nodule production by 85% in pH 5.6 and 45% in 4.6 treatments. But the stimulatory effect of mycorrhizal inoculation on nodule production was reduced at pH 3.6 and 2.6. Net photosynthesis was increased by mycorrhizal infection in all the pH levels. The phosphorus(P) content in the tissues was increased by 43% in average by mycorrhizal inoculation, which was statistically significant except in pH 2.6. It was concluded that mycorrhizal inoculation of Robinia pseudoacacia would enhance growth and resistance of the plants to acid rain by improving the photosynthesis, phosphorus nutrition, and more nodule production.

본 연구는 내생균근균 접종이 목본식물의 인공 산성우에 대한 저항성에 미치는 영향을 구명하는데 그 목적이 있다. 아까시나무(Robinia pseudoacacia) 종자를 실험실 내에서 파종한 후, 멸균된 버미큘라이트, 모래, 밭토양을 1:1:1로 혼합한 토양을 담은 1l pot에 건강한 묘목을 이식하였다. 각 pot에 묘목을 이식할 때 분쇄된 뿌리혹과 균근균을 접종하였는데, 뿌리혹은 자연 상태에서 자란 아까시나무림에서 채취한 것을, 내생균근균은 상업용으로 판매하는 Glomus intraradices를 수입하여 사용하였다. pH 2.6, 3.6, 4.6, 5.6 4종류의 인공 산성우는 황산과 질산을 3:1로 혼합하여 만들었다. 각 pot에는 질소와 인을 배제시킨 양료용액과 일정한 pH 수준의 산성우를 각각 180 mm씩 매주 1회씩 50일간 처리하였으며 포트는 온실에 놓아두었다. 실험 종료시 묘목을 굴취하여 엽록소, 무기양료의 함량과 조직의 순광함성량, 건중량, 뿌리의 균근감염율 등을 측정하였다. 균근감염율은 pH 2.6에서 현저히 낮은 수준을 나타냈는데, 이는 극도로 낮은 pH에서 G. intraradices의 활력이 억제됨을 의미한다. 수고생장, 건중량, 뿌리혹 형성, 엽록소 함량, 그리고 순광합성 등은 pH 3.6을 제외한 모든 pH 수준에서 균근감염에 의해 증가하였다. pH 5.6과 4.6에서는 균근균 접종이 뿌리혹 형성을 각각 85%, 45% 증가시켰으나, pH 3.6괴 2.6에서는 균근균 접종이 뿌리혹의 형성을 거의 촉진하지 않았다. 순광합성 량은 모든 pH 수준에서 균근감염에 의해 증가하였다. 조직체 내의 인 함량도 균근감염에 의해 평균 43% 증가하였으며 pH 2.6을 제외하고는 통계적으로 유의하였다. 결론적으로 아까시나무에 대한 균근균 접종은 광합성과 인 함량, 뿌리혹 형성을 증가시킴으로써 생장을 촉진하고, 산성우에 대한 저항성을 높여준다고 할 수 있다.
