북한식물은 남한이 아닌, 북한 또는 이북지역에 자생하는 식물이며 DMZ자생식물원은 국내 유일의 북한식물 연구센터로서 한반도의 생물다양성 자료구축, 보전, 활용에 관한 연구를 수행하고 있다. 동아시아의 생태계를 이해하고 통일 이후의 황폐화된 북한의 식생 복원 기반 구축 및 산업화 소재 발굴을 위해 북한식물에 관한 체계적인 자료정리와 북한식물 유전자원(표본, 생체, 종자) 수집전략이 요구된다. 본 연구는 국내·외 수목원 및 관련기관의 북한식물 유전자원에 대한 보유 현황을 파악하기 위하여 수행되었다. 조선식물지 등 북한식물 종에 관한 문헌과 전문가 검토를 거쳐 북한식물 DB를 구축하였다. 국내·외 수목원 DB에 북한식물 학명을 검색하여 각 수목원의 북한식물 유전자원 보유 현황을 확인하였다. 북한식물 480 분류군에 대하여 국내 14개 수목원을 포함한 전 세계 6개 대륙, 42개국, 283곳의 수목원을 탐색한 결과 총 432 분류군에 대한 보유 현황을 파악하였다. 189 분류군에 대한 1,475 점의 표본정보를 확보하였으며, 327 분류군에 대한 3,652 건의 생체 및 종자 보유 여부를 확인하였다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 북한식물 유전자원을 체계적으로 수집하여 향후 한반도 생물다양성의 이해를 증진시키고 북한지역 생태계의 보전 및 복원에 기여할 수 있을 것이라 생각한다.

The object of this study was to investigate the effects of the feeding mixed with powders and extracts of Platycodon grandiflorum (4 or 22 years) on the lipid metabolism of liver in rats. After cholesterol-feorats of Sprague-Dawley strain were fed 5% level of frozen powder, fiber, saponin and ethanol extract for 3 weeks, the activity of enzymes related to liver function, liver tissue and lipid components of liver were examined. The activity of enzymes was significantly lower in the P. grandiflorum powder diet group than in control. The concentration of total cholesterol in liver was rather lower in powder and fiber diet group of each P. grandiflorum than in the other experimental groups, and triglyceride concentration was rather lower in all experimental groups than in the control group, while phospholipid was not significant. On observing through electromicroscope of liver tissue, there was showed to increase fat droplet in control group, but decrease fat droplet in all experimental groups, and glycogen was found to accumulate in rats fed twenty-two years P. grandiflorum.

최근 기후위기 등으로 인해 생물다양성 감소 우려가 높아지고 있으며, 식물유전자원 보존의 강화를 위해 수많은 국제협약이 체결되고 있다. 자국의 생물다양성을 보호하고, 전 세계의 기후위기 취약식물의 보존을 위해 대한민국 산림청은 세계 최초로 지하터널형 야생식물종자 영구저장시설인 '시드볼트(Seed Vault)'를 경상북도 봉화에 설립하였다. 시드볼트는 안전한 종자의 저장을 위해 온도 -20℃, 습도 RH 40% 이하를 유지하며, 환경 변화를 최소화하기 위해 매일 시설 점검을 진행하고 있다. 시드볼트의 미션은 '기후위기 대응 생물다양성 확보'이며, 전 세계 종자저장의 선도기관으로 2022년 12월 기준으로 5,424종 192,625점을 확보하였으며, 2030년까지 1만 종 30만 점을 목표로 하고 있다. 전 세계 식물 종의 보호를 위해 국제기구와 협력하고 있으나, 해외 종자의 저장이 더욱 강화되어야 하며, 향후 시드볼트 종자저장 네트워크 구축에 참고하기 위한 해외 사례를 조사하였다. 아시아에서는 중국이 다량의 식물종을 수집하고 있으나, 해당 자료에 대한 공개는 이루어지지 않고 있으며, 일본은 농업식량 식물자원 중심으로 종자를 보존하고 있으며, 태국, 대만, 싱가포르 및 몽골 및 중앙아시아 국가의 종자수집과 보존은 근래 확대되는 추세이다. FAO의 Plant Genetic Resources for Food And Agriculture 관련 수집 자료에 따르면, 아시아지역 25개 국가에서 984,019점의 식물유전자원을 보고하였다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 아시아지역의 종자보존 네트워크를 구축하여 해외 종자의 안전한 저장을 통해 아시아 야생식물자원 다양성 보전 가치를 통합하는 시설로 성장하고자 한다.

The trends of plant-related teaching and learning of elementary and secondary schools were presented in this paper. The textbooks of other subject matters except biology were analyzed for their plant-related learning contents. It was suggested that interconnection exists between biology and other subjects in the relations with plant-related learning materials. A total of 331 books were analyzed from 143 elementary schools, 117 middle schools and 71 high schools. 1. Among the learning materials, 264 species of plant were presented in elementary schools textbooks, 295 in middle schools, and 283 in high schools. Other subjcets had more various plants than biology. 2. Korean language, social study and home ecology had more plant materials than other subjects with not only simple citation but scientific concepts and inquiry activities. As this plant-related materials is considerable for school education and science curriculum. 3. The available plants in daily life - resource plants, edible plants, demonstration plants and engineering-related plants - were cited in other subjects. Interconnection of plant-related materials with biology and other subjects will provide basis of STS education and subject integration.

The purpose of this study is to sort out the plants in "The Book of Songs", and to analyze the cultural significance of plants from the viewpoint of the symbolic elements and the landscape elements in the 3~11 century BC. The conclusions are as follows. First, there were 147 plant names and 136 plant species in "The Book of Songs", and these results can confirm that the plants were existed in the 3~11 century BC. Second, through analyzing the cultural significance of the plants, cattail, lotus, etc. are the symbol of lovers; peony and willow are the symbol of farewell; bamboo is the symbol of gentleman; and Japanese pepper is the symbol of fecundity. Third, at the viewpoint of the landscape elements, the poplar, dwarf elm, etc. can be used as a place of affection; reed and nepenthe can make a place of melancholy, hazel and chestnut tree, etc. can make a place of power and position, celery and water shield etc. can be used as a place of knowledge. Based on the research of "The Book of Songs", it can help to understand the plants culture in 3~11 century BC, and it will be a useful information for the plant design.

Phytoplankton community was studied in relation to a typhoon at Bok-gyo Bridge area in Juam Lake, Korea. In August 31, 2000, a typhoon (Prapiroon) was passed by Juam Lake with great power enough to destroy summer stratification of Juam Lake. Destratification resulted in temporal mixing of the whole water column and changed the physical and chemical properties of water bodies, and caused the changes of the biological properties. The transparency decreased from 195 cm before the typhoon to 84 cm after the typhoon with the resuspension of the bottom sediment. In the vertical distribution of the phytoplankton population, the maximum population was measured at depth of 2 m before the typhoon. However, immediately after the typhoon, the population distributed evenly throughout the entire water layers. The carbon biomass of the phytoplankton was also highest at the depth of 2 m before the typhoon, but immediately after the typhoon, it was uniformly distributed throughout the whole water layers. The vertical profiles of the concentrations of chlorophyll a, however, did not show a significant difference before and after the typhoon. The typhoon induced destratification and restratification altered the taxa of the phytoplankton. The major dominant phytoplankton taxa before the typhoon was diatoms including Aulacoseira granulata, but the green algae overwhelmed the diatoms in cell number and biomass after the typhoon. The chlorophycean dominance was replaced by cyanophycean dominance with the heavy rain and descent of water temperture at the end of September.

Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc) is one of the most important diseases on citrus. Although Satsuma mandarin cultivating mostly in Korea is moderately resistance to canker, occurrence of the disease were more frequently reported since last decade. Like other diseases in citrus, citrus canker was mainly protected by chemical fungicide in the field. Due to the side effect of the chemicals, alternative method of disease control is recently required. In this study four rhizobacterial strains TRH423-3, MRL408-3, THJ609-3 and TRH415-2 are selected by testing its antifungal activity against Xcc. Pre-inoculation with the selected rhizobacterial strains caused disease suppression on the citrus leaves after inoculation with the citrus canker pathogen. Similarly, in the field test symptoms of citrus canker were less developed in the citrus trees applied several times with the selected rhizobacterial strains compared with those of untreated trees. Therefore, it is suggested that the selected rhizobacterial strains may be valuable as an alternative method in the environment-friendly citrus farm.

누에는 식식성 곤충중에서도 단식성 또는 협식성의 곤충으로 널리 알려져 오랜 세월동안 뽕잎만을 먹고살아 왔다. 이 누에를 뽕 이외의 식물로 사육해 보려는 시도는 꽤 오래 전부터 실시되어 누에가 먹고 어느 정도 성장할 수 있는 식물로는 구지뽕나무, 닥나무, 민들레, 왕고들빼기, 씀바귀 등 10여 종류가 넘게 보고되어 있다. 그러나 이들의 사육성적이나 얻어진 고치는 뽕을 먹여 사육한 성적과는 비교도 안 되는 현저히 뒤떨어지는 것이었고 실용적인 의미에서 뽕을 능가하는 식물은 찾아볼 수 없다.(중략)
