Abstract

This study was carried out to estimate the size and exine pattern of pollen grains in seven species of the genus Lilium by using scanning electron microscope. Exine of pollen grains, which were all monad, took the prolate forms with a pollen aperture. However, there were various L/W ratio between length (L) and width (W) of pollen grains among selected Lilium species. The pollen of L. distichum was oblong shape which had the highest L/W ratio of 2.59. On the other hand, that of L. concolor var. partheneion was broadly elliptical shape close to circle which had the lowest L/W ratio of 1.82. The surface patterns of exine were reticulate in all Lilium species that have showed diverse forms in their lumina. Pollen length and width in L. lancifolium had the greatest value, 115.90 and $46.54{\mu}m$, respectively, in comparison with those of L. tsingtauense, 70.33 and $38.72{\mu}m$, respectively. Except L. distichum and L. leichtlinii var. maximowiczii which had a similar pollen length within standard errors, the others in Lilium species showed different sizes, respectively. Therefore, these results indicated that pollen length could be a better standard for the classification of Lilium species than exine surface patterns or pollen dissection area.

한국산 나리속 7종의 화분 관찰에 의한 나리속의 종간 유연관계를 구명하고자 본 실험을 수행하였다. 화분 표면을 주사전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과 모두 단립(monad)으로 발아구가 한 개인 장형(prolate)을 띠었다. 화분 길이와 폭의 비율은 종별로 차이를 나타내어서 말나리가 2.59로 제일 큰 장타원형을 나타냈고, 하늘말나리는 1.82로서 원형에 가까운 타원형을 나타냈다. 화분의 길이와 폭은 참나리가 각각 115.90와 $46.54{\mu}m$로 가장 컸으며 하늘말나리는 길이와 폭이 각각 $70.33{\mu}m$$38.72{\mu}m$로 가장 작았다. 외막의 표면 무늬는 망상(reticulate)으로서 망강(lumen)은 형태가 일정하지 않은 다각형으로 7종 모두 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 나리속의 종간 분류는 말나리와 중나리가 오차범위 내에서 유사한 화분 크기를 지니고 있었다. 한편, 나머지 종들의 화분 길이는 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내어 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 화분의 길이를 통한 나리속의 분류는 외막 모양이나 화분의 단면적보다는 화분 크기가 유용할 것으로 생각된다.
