Abstract

Individuals in the population under a particular environmental condition influencing recurrently for a long time could locally adapted and local adaptation is of a fundamental importance in a breeding program, conservation activities of genetic resources or evolutionary biology. Plants at northern range limits have higher probability of expressing an adaptative genetic trait. The natural community at the northern range limit of Ilex cornuta (Chinese holly) in Buan, Jeollanam-do in Korea was composed of adults of 744 and seedlings of 211 (hereafter Community) and is designated as the Korean Natural Monument (No. 122) by the law. At two adjacent areas to Community, 85 (hereafter Plantation I) and 27 hollies (hereafter Plantation II) were planted respectively for preparations of the next generation. Eighty-five trees were sampled for genetic analysis in the three groups. Fifty-two (36%) of the total 143 amplicons were polymorphic from four AFLP primer combinations. A total of thirteen genotypes was identified and just one genotype was for 52 trees of Community. Seven and five genotypes were shown for Plantation I and II, respectively. There was no identical genotype between Community and Plantation (I or II) or between two plantation groups. Number of private loci was 2 for Community, 6 for Plantation I and 4 for Plantation II. We presumed their genetic backgrounds were quite different with one another and the plantation groups were made independently because they were different not only the genetic compositions but also their ages. Considering the genetic monomorphism by AFLP markers, observations of only male trees and asexual propagation as layerage or cuttage, the hollies in Community might be a genet by root suckering from a single male tree, not the results of selective removal of female trees for ornamental use in the past.

한 지역의 특수한 환경에 오랫동안 반복적으로 노출된 집단의 개체가 지닌 지역적응성(local adaptation)은 육종이나 유전자원보존, 진화생물학적 측면에서 가치가 높으며, 북방한계지의 집단은 이러한 적응 유전형질이 발현될 가능성이 높은 곳 중 하나이다. 호랑가시나무의 북방한계지인 전라북도 변산반도의 부안 도청리 호랑가시나무 군락(천연기념물 제122호)은 성목 744본과 치수 211본(이하 군락)으로 구성되며, 인접지에 후계목 유도를 위해 85본(이하 식재림I) 및 27본(이하 식재림II)이 식재되어 있다. 총 85개체의 엽시료를 채취하여 유전변이 분석을 실시하였는데 AFLP primer 4조합에서 얻은 143개 증폭산물중 다형성 유전자좌는 52개(36%)였다. 85개체는 13개 유전자형으로 나뉘었는데, 군락의 성목과 치수 52개체는 모두 동일한 유전자형을 갖고 있으며, 식재림I과 식재림II는 각각 7개와 5개의 유전자형을 보유했다. 군락과 식재림(I과 II)간 또는 두 식재림간 공통된 유전자형은 관찰할 수 없었으며, 군락과 식재림I, 식재림II에서 해당 그룹에서만 고유하게 관찰되는 유전자좌는 각각 2개, 6개, 4개로 나타나서 이들의 유전적 기원에 상당한 차이가 있을 것으로 생각된다. 두 식재림은 수령이 다를 뿐 아니라 유전적 구성의 차이도 뚜렷해서 서로 다른 경로를 거쳐 조성된 것으로 추정된다. 도청리 군락에서 유전적으로 동일한 수그루만 관찰됐다는 사실과 삽목은 물론 취목에 의한 영양번식도 용이한 점을 고려하면, 군락은 암나무의 선별적 굴취에 따른 결과가 아니라 수나무의 근맹아 발생에 의해 이루어진 클론개체(genet)일 가능성이 크다.
