It was found that 14 coastal habitats in South Korea have comparetively natural vegetation. The habitats were classified into three types - intertidal flats, sand dunes, and estuaries. There were four intertidal flats, five sand dunes and five estuaries. Except for Cynodon dactylon and Tetragonia tetragonoides, all of the main halophytes and sand dune plants were found in the habitats. These two species were mainly distributed on the southern coast. This study identified coastal vegetation, such as pure stands of Suaeda japonica on intertidal flats, mixed halophyte communities around the high-water mark, pure stands of Vitex rotundifolia on stable sand dunes, mixed communities dominated by Carex kobomugi on unstable sand dunes, and pure stands of Phragmites communis in estuaries. The types of coastal vegetation may depend on sediment types, the inundation time of seawater and the stability of sediments.

A variety of bioactive secondary metabolites have been reported from plant-associated microorganisms. Halophytes, plants that can only grow in hypersaline area, were reported to host beneficial microorganisms such as plant growth-promoting endophytes. The microorganisms have been reported to show notable mutualistic symbiosis with halophytes to help them survive in high saline condition. Finding out bioactive secondary metabolites as well as elucidation of relationship(s) between microbes and the host halophyte has been paid attention, because of their functional diversity. Novel microbes often have associated with novel natural products. In an effort to investigate natural compounds with interesting structures from fungi, we selected plants from a distinct environmental setting which could be a promising source. Several fungi were isolated from halophyte or medicinal plants. Some strains of the fungi were cultivated on a large scale and extracted with ethyl acetate, which were subjected to a series of chromatographic methods, leading to the isolation of tens of compounds. The isolated compounds were identified by analysis of spectroscopic methods such as 1D-, 2D-NMR, and MS. Details of isolation, structure determination, and biological activities will be discussed.

The tidal flats of Korea today have reduced by 40% in size compared to 1964. To manage this important habitat properly, development of well-organized and nationwide-applicable grading systems is required. There have been several assessment systems proposed previously in Korea, but they are critically flawed in that selected biological indicators are not adequate and grading criteria are obscure and arbitrary. We reviewed the indicators used in these previous evaluation systems (e.g., diversity indices, quantity and quality of benthic macrofauna, halophytes, water birds, etc.) and subsequently proposed new indicators and an improved grading scheme. For the quantitative assessment of macrobenthic community, biomass reflecting production and ecosystem function is recommended over density, which is much less discriminatory among habitats. Of biodiversity indices used, within-, between-habitat and regional biodiversity indices that accurately reflect sampling efforts are suggested. In addition, we proposed to include species rarity, ecosystem engineers, and the ecological quality index ISEP (Inverse function of Shannon-Wiener Evenness Proportion). As for halophytes, their low spatial coverage on benthic habitat suggests that their presence can be used as an ecological indicator of benthic habitat, regardless of their protective status. We stress the need to introduce 1) quantile approach for quantitative indicators (e.g., diversity, biomass, etc.) in relation to grading, 2) presence-absence approach for spatial or aggregate indicators (e.g., boundaries of halophytes and feeding ground of water birds) and 3) benthic habitat mapping that combines all of these indicators.

South Korea is largely dependent on imports of forage crops. In order to raise the self-sufficiency rate of forage crops, it is necessary to cultivate forage crops in 135,100 ha reclaimed land of South Korea. This study was conducted to investigate the growth of halophytes and forage crops in order to search for stable plants on reclaimed land. The plants were cultured in Hoagland solution and grown at 0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% of salt concentrations. Plants with good growth at 0.5% of salt concentration were halophytes such as Suaeda asparagoides and Salsola komarovii. Salicornia herbacea and Suaeda maritima showed good growth at 2.0% salinity, and Suaeda maritima showed stable growth at all of salt concentrations. In conclusion, Suaeda asparagoides showed the best growth at 0.5% of salt concentration and was considered the most biomass at reclaimed land in Korea with less than 0.5% of salt concentration.

Mechanistic studies of halophytes are urgent areas of agricultural research due to the increase in saline-contaminated and irrigated land worldwide. The halophyte Suaeda glauca (S. glauca) has advantages in terms of biomass and saline elimination due to its large mass and well-developed phenotype on seashores, although its mechanistic features and growing specificities still require systematic investigation. In this study, S. glauca was cultivated under various saline concentrations (0-400 mM) in Hoagland's solution in the absence or presence of indole derivatives to elucidate physiological features. The results confirmed the optimal growth and development of S. glauca in 50 mM NaCl, and morphologies such as the number of branches, shoot length, and fresh and dry weights were improved by indole-3-carboxylic acid (ICA) treatment. The cation concentrations in roots, shoots and leaves were investigated to examine the ionic imbalances in response to saline treatment, and the results demonstrated that sodium ions accumulated to high concentrations in leaves. The levels of calcium and potassium ions in roots were maintained or slightly decreased in the presence of 50 mM NaCl and proline concentration was increased significantly in roots at optimal concentrations. These results demonstrate that the concentrations of ions and metabolites are key regulators of optimal growth by regulating the physiology of halophytes.

간척지에서 식생의 분포와 토양 염농도 간의 관계를 분석하기 위하여, 간척 후 교란이 없는 대호 간척지의 식생보전지구에서 본 연구를 수행하였다. 출현 식물 종을 분류하고, 집락 유형별로 토양 염농도를 측정하여 비교하였고, 식생도를 작성하였다. 대호 간척지의 식물 종은 주기적인 침수가 이루어지는 갯벌 및 초기 간척지에 비해 매우 다양하였다. 출현한 식물 집락은 단일 종으로 이루어진 순수 집락과 여러 종의 혼합으로 이루어진 혼생 집락으로 구분되었다. 식물 집락별 출현지의 토양 염농도에 근거할 때 퉁퉁마디, 해홍나물 및 나문재의 단일 집락은 토양 염농도가 31.05 dS/m 정도인 곳에, 이들의 혼생 집락은 42.75 dS/m에 출현하여 내염성이 강하였고, 사데풀, 갯개미취, 새섬매자기 등의 단일집락은 11.73 dS/m 인 곳에, 이들의 혼생집락은 9.43 dS/m 정도인 곳에 출현하여 저염생식물군의 특성을 보였고, 띠, 레드클로버, 억새, 강아지풀 및 잠자리피의 단일집락은 2.42 dS/m 정도인 곳에 분포하여 내염성이 약한 중성식물군의 특성을 보였다. 이와 같이 식물 집락의 분포는 토양 염농도의 영향을 받고 있어, 간척지 토양의 염농도는 식물 집락 분포의 제한요소로 작용함을 보였다. 이 결과는 토양 염농도에 따라 다르게 나타나는 식물 종과 식물 집락의 분포 양상이 간척지 토양의 탈염화 지표로 유용함을 시사하고 있다.

The main purpose of this thesis is to select the appropriate plants for the ecological restoration of coastal land. The soil and vegetation environment survey of the beach where the halophytes live now was executed for the sake. Firstly, the soil survey was done by the physical and chemical survey of beach soil and dumped soil. The soil is mostly sandy loam and sandy clay loam which has silty much. The beach soil where the salt plants live has more organic matters in the content than dumped soil because of the influx of the dead halophytes, a pioneer plant to this area. Secondly the vegetation survey was executed by the halophytes survey in the beach area in order to select the appropriate plants for ecological restoration. The shows two different areas in the vegetation divided by the salt density of soil. Artemisia fukudo, Juncus haenkei, Carex pumila, Silene armeia, Polyponum aviculare etc live in the less salt density area and it doesnt show collected. Salicornia herbacea, Suaeda asparagoides, Aster tripolium, Limonium tetragonum, Suaeda maritima, Scirus fluvitilis, Phragmtes communis, Suaeda japonica, Zoysia sinica etc halophytes live in the more salt density area and there are a few advent plant but many collected. So the salt density of soil limits the vegetation. The selection of appropriate plants for the ecological restoration programs was designed with 3 different standards considering the salt density of soil in the dumped soil area. The plan selection guidelines of thick salt density due to the salt density of soil, and economical efficiency and maintenance because the area is large. The guidelines of middle salt density area were made considering economical efficiency and maintenance because there are salt as well, and it is effective for the scenery if they have normal ecology but their leaves have good color and the flowers are beautiful. However I suggest beautiful flowery plants for the neutral plan area because this area is the entry point of the airport so the view is very important.

본 연구에서는 염생식물에서는 최초로 expansin 유전자를 분리하고 특성을 분석하였다. 염생식물 중 생리활성물질 등으로 최근 들어 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 칠면초로부터 expansin 유전자의 cDNA 3종을 분리, 합성하였다. 확보한 3종의 칠면초 expansin cDNA 염기서열 분석 및 단백질 1차 구조의 비교분석 결과 시스테인 잔기의 위치 및 배열간격과 트립토판의 위치, 그리고 활성부위의 일부로 생각되는 HFD 도메인이 잘 보존되어 있다는 점에서 이들이 ${\alpha}$-expansin (EXPA)에 속한다는 것을 확인하였다. 다른 식물들과 칠면초의 expansin 단백질을 대상으로 계통수를 작성한 결과, 목본성인 딸기와 대추나무의 expansin과 가장 가까운 것으로 나타났다. 칠면초는 일년생 초본이지만 생육초기에는 초본성으로 자라다가 나중에 목질화되는 경향이 있다. 따라서 칠면초의 expansin이 목본 식물의 expansin과 유사한 기능을 가질 것으로 추측할 수 있다. 고염도 환경에서의 칠면초 유식물의 생육 실험결과에 따르면 실험에 사용된 NaCl 농도범위 내에서 유식물의 생장이 현저하게 억제되지 않았을 뿐만 아니라 expansin의 발현량에도 큰 변화가 없었다. 이 결과로 미루어 내염성을 가진 식물에서는 expansin과 같은 생장관련 유전자의 발현이 NaCl의 농도에 크게 영향을 받지 않으므로 식물의 생장이 저해되지 않는다고 유추할 수 있다. 이는 염생식물인 칠면초가 고염도 환경에서 정상적으로 생육할 수 있도록 하는데 expansin이 중요한 요소 중 하나일 것이라는 점을 의미한다.
