Population genetic assessment is essential for the conservation and management of endangered and rare plants. Neofinetia falcata is endangered epiphyte orchid and protected by law in Korea. In Korea, this species is only found on islands in the South Sea of Korea (including Jeju-do) and the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula. We developed nine microsatellite makers to assess the genetic diversity and population genetic structure of three populations of N. falcata. The genetic diversity at the species level was low, which can be attributed to inbreeding or fragmentation into small, isolated populations. A recent bottleneck was detected in one population, likely due to overcollection. N. falcata exhibited moderated levels of differentiation among populations, with the three populations were divided into two clusters based on genetic structure. The genetic diversity and structure of N. falcata are affected by restricted gene flow by pollen or seeds due to isolation and geographic distance. Strategies for in situ and ex situ conservation of this species are been proposed based on the results of our study.

1995년 3월부터 10월까지 총 22일간 오대산 국립공원지역의 관속식물상을 조사한 바 87과, 277속, 435종, 68변종, 2아종 및 7품종 등 총 512종류(texa)로 조사되었다. 이 중에서 오대산 지역에는 85과, 255속, 389종, 61변종, 2아종 및 7품종 등 총 459종류(texa)와 소금강지역에는 60과, 115속, 138종, 12변종 및 1품종 등 총 151종류(texa)로 각각 조사되었다. 이 지역에서 조사된 식물 중 현재 환경부에서 한국산 희귀 및 멸종위기식물로 구분된 식물은 총 35종류(texa)였다. 이 지역에서 자생하고 있는 희귀 및 멸종위기식물은 대부분 등산로변에 위치하고 있으며, 특히 약용 및 식용식물로 이용되고 있는 것들이 많아 인위적인 채취로 인한 피해가 우려되고 있어서 앞으로 이들의 종 및 서식처 수준에서의 적극적인 보전대책의 수립이 요망된다.

The chloroplast DNA sequences of Megaleranthis saniculifolia, an endemic and monotypic endangered plant species, were completed in this study (GenBank FJ597983). The genome is 159,924 bp in length. It harbors a pair of IR regions consisting of 26,608 bp each. The lengths of the LSC and SSC regions are 88,326 bp and 18,382 bp, respectively. The structural organizations, gene and intron contents, gene orders, AT contents, codon usages, and transcription units of the Megaleranthis chloroplast genome are similar to those of typical land plant cp DNAs. However, the detailed features of Megaleranthis chloroplast genomes are substantially different from that of Ranunculus, which belongs to the same family, the Ranunculaceae. First, the Megaleranthis cp DNA was 4,797 bp longer than that of Ranunculus due to an expanded IR region into the SSC region and duplicated sequence elements in several spacer regions of the Megaleranthis cp genome. Second, the chloroplast genomes of Megaleranthis and Ranunculus evidence 5.6% sequence divergence in the coding regions, 8.9% sequence divergence in the intron regions, and 18.7% sequence divergence in the intergenic spacer regions, respectively. In both the coding and noncoding regions, average nucleotide substitution rates differed markedly, depending on the genome position. Our data strongly implicate the positional effects of the evolutionary modes of chloroplast genes. The genes evidencing higher levels of base substitutions also have higher incidences of indel mutations and low Ka/Ks ratios. A total of 54 simple sequence repeat loci were identified from the Megaleranthis cp genome. The existence of rich cp SSR loci in the Megaleranthis cp genome provides a rare opportunity to study the population genetic structures of this endangered species. Our phylogenetic trees based on the two independent markers, the nuclear ITS and chloroplast MatK sequences, strongly support the inclusion of the Megaleranthis to the Trollius. Therefore, our molecular trees support Ohwi's original treatment of Megaleranthis saniculifolia to Trollius chosenensis Ohwi.

본 조사지역인 손죽도는 전라남도 여수시 삼산면 손죽리에 속하며, 지리적으로는 동경 127도 21분, 북위 34도 16분에 위치하고 있다. 유관속 식물을 대상으로 2001년 12월부터 2002년 11월까지 12개월에 걸쳐 식물상을 조사하였다. 본 연구결과 관속식물은 113과 291속, 519종, 60변종, 5품종 총 584종이 동정되었다. 이 지역은 전형적으로 곰솔이 우점종이며, 남방계 식물이 나타나는 특징을 가지고 있다. 이중 특산식물은 10과 10속 8종 5변종으로 총 13종류로 이 지역에서 관찰되는 전체식물종의 2.0%를 나타낸다. 회귀 및 멸종위기식물은 솔잎란, 애기등, 섬첨남성, 및 지네발란 등이 관찰되었다. 그 외에 귀화식물은 9과, 20속, 23종으로 우리나라 전체 귀화식물종 281종류의 8.2%로 조사되었다. 본 지역은 면적에 비해 한국특산식물, 회귀식물 및 멸종위기식물 등이 많이 분포하는 생태적으로 중요한 지역이지만 한편으로는 귀화식물의 점유율이 점점 높아지는 등 환경오염에 따른 인위적인 훼손의 위협 증대되고 있어 섬 전체에 대해 지속적인 정부의 강력한 관리 및 개발 규제가 있어야만 할 것으로 사료된다.

Cicuta virosa is an endangered species in Korea, which is a southern marginal area. To conserve and restore habitats of this plant, we investigated water and soil environmental characteristics and vegetation at four habitats during the growing season. The C. virosa habitats differed in community structure, water and substrate properties, and water regime. Although the total distribution ranges of the water and soil environments for C. virosa were wide and overlapped with the optimal environmental range of distribution of accompanying species, the optimal water level range for C. virosa was defined as $7{\pm}3.5$ cm. Water level was adjusted by substrate structure such as a mound of P. japonica and a floating mat comprised of accompanying species. A floating mat was an aid to maintain an optimal and stable water level in deep or fluctuating water and to prevent strong competition with prolific macrophytes. The GS sampling site, which had floating mats, could be a good model for C. virosa conservation in a warm temperate region, whereas the PC sampling sites, which experienced a water shortage in spring, provided a clue about the decline in C. virosa population size.

Mankyua chejuense is a native endangered plant distributed only in Gotzawal, a forested wetland, in Jeju Province, Korea. In order to determine the optimal environmental conditions for the growth and development of M. chejuense, we investigated the above- and below-ground growth responses and survival rate to various soil texture (sand and clay), water regimes (flooding and non-flooding), and $CO_2+T$ (ambient and elevated) conditions. All of the treatments had significant effects on aboveground growth parameters, while only the water regime and $CO_2+T$ treatments influenced belowground growth. The survival rate of M. chejuense was about twice higher under the sand, non-flooding and elevated $CO_2+T$ conditions than clay, flooding and ambient $CO_2+T$ conditions. These results indicate that M. chejuense grows in well-drained sandy soil conditions and elevated $CO_2$ concentration and temperature situations. Thus, there is a need to maintain M. chejuense under constant non-flooding soil conditions by implementing appropriate soil drainage strategies.

The population status of Hydrangea luteovenosa Koidz. in Korea was investigated, with an emphasis on its genetic diversity. From field surveys, we obtained the only locality record for a wild population in Jeju Island, which contained 285 individuals in total. Genotyping was performed using five microsatellite markers for the all extant plants in Korea. Three Japanese populations were also genotyped for the comparative analyses. The genotyping result showed that the Jeju population consisted of only two multilocus genotypes, including identical heterozygous genotypes at two loci; it had been maintained mostly by vegetative reproduction; and although the Jeju population is geographically far from Japanese populations, all alleles observed in the Korean population were shared with Japanese populations, suggesting the possibility that H. luteovenosa in the Jeju Island had been recently migrated or introduced from Japan. Future ecological and genetic studies associated with negative effects of low genetic variation will be essential for determining the conservation direction of the threatened Korean population of this species.
