Plant functional traits have been shown to be useful to understand how and why ecosystems and their components vary across environmental heterogeneity or gradients. This study investigated how plant functional (leaf) traits vary according to an elevation-associated environmental gradient. Environmental gradients (mean annual temperature and precipitation) were quantified, and leaf traits (leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf nitrogen, leaf phosphorus, leaf carbon, and leaf C/N ratio) of the understory woody plant species Acer pseudosieboldianum were examined across an elevational gradient ranging from 600 to 1200 m in a Baegunsan Mountain in Gwangyang-si, Jeollanam-do, South Korea. The results showed that mean annual temperature and precipitation decreased and increased along with elevation, respectively. Leaf area of the plant species decreased slightly with increasing elevation, while specific leaf area did not differ significantly. Leaf nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon concentrations) were higher at high elevations, but leaf C/N ratio decreased with elevation.

The composition and concentration of monoterpenes in the leaves of Artemisia japonica were determined. And seasonal variation in monoterpenes of A. japonica were investigated. Samples were taken from five sites at Mt. Muhak. Monoterpenes in the leaves were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The leaf monoterpene fractions were dominated by R.T. 5.026, ${\alpha}-thujene$, sabinene, ${\beta}-pinene$, cyclohexane (R.T.=12.859) and R.T. 23.149. There were marked seasonal differences in concentration and composition of leaf monoterpenes. There were many kinds of monoterpenes in leaf of spring time, however most of monoterpenes concentration was small. On the other hand, there were not many kinds of monoterpenes in late time, but monoterpene concentrations were increased.

Mulberry being the only food of silkworm, Bombyx mori L., is of great economic importance to the silk industry, The success in cocoon production mainly depends on the supply of quality leaves in sufficient quantity. In mulberry, where the economic product is leaf, the uptake of nitrogen from soil is very heavy and high responses to application of nutrients have been reported. Nitrogen supports vegetative growth particularly the leaf biomass. Variation in nitrogen harvest index and other physiological and yield contributing traits were estimated in five mulberry genotypes. Considerable variation was observed for nitrogen harvest index, protein yield per plant and harvest index. The correlation studies indicated the protein yield per plant was significantly correlated with leaf yield, nitrogen content in leaf, nitrogen harvest index and harvest index. The broad sense heritability estimates revealed that harvest index showed highest heritability (88.07%) followed by nitrogen content (82.52%), protein yield (70.28%) and nitrogen harvest index (66.52%).

Rubus crataegifolius is a shrub species and is primarily distributed throughout Asia and Europe. We collected 550 representative samples of the eleven populations in Korea to estimate leaf variation within species. The 35 morphological characteristics allowed us to resolve well-supported fixed characteristics and variable characteristics. Sixteen of twenty-three quantitative characteristics and five of twelve qualitative characteristics showed significant differences among populations. We argued that the population differentiation can accounted for the variation in phenetic characteristics such as spine in this species, but were less successful in accounting for variation in other traits. Within a polystatistic leaf structure, their morphological differences could be modulated by ecological pressure such as temperature, altitude, duration of sunshine, and solar radiation. The phenogram showed two distinct clades. One was a group in central Korea and the other was a group in the southern regions of Korea. If morphological characteristics in R. crataegifolius populations reflect their ecological niche, morphology should be regarded with caution as the main criterion for population studies in R. crataegifolius.

느티나무를 용재자원으로 육성하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 전국 18개 집단에 대한 엽 형질 변이를 조사하였다. 엽신장, 엽폭 등 14개 엽 형질을 조사한 결과, 모든 측정형질에서 집단 간 및 집단 내 개체 간에 고도로 유의한 차이가 있는 것을 확인하였으며 특히, 최대 엽폭까지의 길이(x3)와 최대 엽폭까지의 길이/엽신장(x10)은 집단 내 개체 간 보다 집단 간의 변이가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 집단별로 보면 측정형질에 따라 차이가 있지만 평균적으로 구례, 정읍, 경주 집단의 변이가 컸으며 영월, 청송, 영천 집단은 변이가 작은 편이었다. 엽 형질간의 상관을 분석한 결과, 엽 크기 관련 형질들 간에는 상관이 높았으나 엽형지수간에는 상관이 낮았다. 환경요인과의 상관을 분석한 결과, 최대 엽폭까지의 길이(x3)와 최대 엽폭까지의 길이/엽신장(x10)는 위도, 해발고와 유의한 정의 상관을 나타냈는데 이는 집단별 연평균 기온의 차이가 반영된 것으로 보인다. 한편, 연평균 강수량은 엽신장(x1), 엽폭(x2), 엽두에서 첫 번째 거치까지의 길이(x5) 및 엽면적(x8)과 낮은 부의 상관을 나타냈는데 조사대상 집단들이 대부분 계곡부에 위치하고 있기 때문에 강수량이 많을 경우 잎 발달에 부정적인 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. 주성분 분석을 통해 고유값 1.0이상으로 의미를 갖는 4개 주성분을 도출하였는데 전체 분산에 대한 설명력은 88.5%였다. 제1주성분은 엽면적(x8), 제2주성분은 최대 엽폭까지의 길이(x3), 제3주성분은 거치수(x6), 제4 주성분은 엽병장(x4)의 기여도가 가장 높았다. 유집분석 결과, 느티나무 집단은 크게 두 개의 분지군으로 나뉘었는데 이는 분지군 간의 연평균기온의 차이가 반영된 결과로 보인다. 그러나 동일 분지군 내 집단들의 유집 결과에서는 지리적 거리 또는 환경구배에 따른 경향성이 나타나지 않았다.

This study was conducted to investigate morphological characteristics of Korean local garlic varieties and to define the genetic variability and the correlations amongthe characters associated with yield. The plant height, the leaf sheath diameter, the nubmer of leaves, and bulb weight were significantly increased in the garlic plants from heavier seed bulbs. The proportation of six clove bulbs was more than 60% in Seosan variety and this was not realted with the number of cloves in seed bulb. While more than 70% bulbs in Jeoksung and Danyang varieties cultivated in paddy field were composed of 6 or 7 cloves, majority of the bulbs of Euisung and Danyang varieties cultivated in upland were composed of bulbs with 7 cloves or more. The highest genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were observed in bulb weight. GCV and PCV also showed high value in leaf sheath diameter. Thus, there is a greater scope for selection of these characters. The small difference between PCV and GCV values in plant height indicates that the environmental influence would be limited in this character. High heritability was observed of plant height (56.76%) and bulb weight (45.95%). And the weight per bulb (34.24%) exhibited highest genitic advance followed by leaf sheath diameter (18.8%) and plant height (9.61%), and those would be the ideal characters for selelction.

콩에 있어서 source인 상부엽의 제거시기에 따라 sink인 협이나 종실에 얼마 만큼 영향을 미치는가 를 절위별 협 및 종실의 변화를 중심으로 연구한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 엽제거에 의해 주경의 협수감소가 시작되는 절위는 엽제거 시기가 늦을수록 낮아졌고, 개화 후 25일 엽재거구가 15일구보다 엽제거 시기가 10일 늦은데도 6∼8절위에서 감소폭이 커 개화후 25일이 결협에 중요한 시기인 것으로 나타났다. 2. 주경의 상부엽 제거로 주걍하부엽과 분지엽의 수광량이 증가하였는데도 엽무제거구보다 이들 부의의 물질 집적량이 적어 이 부위의 동화물질이 다른 부위로 전류된 양상을 보였다. 3. 협당입수는 개화후 35일 엽제거구가 25일구보다 적어 개화후 35일이 입의 퇴화에 더 큰 영향을 준 시기였다. 4. 가장 주요한 sink인 종실의 종피 구열립은 주경의 정단에서 9절위까지 엽무제거구가 25∼35％ 절위였으나 엽제거구는 대부분 10％이하였다.

The monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes are analysed in the leaf and stem of Chrysanthemum boreale using gas chromaltography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The total amount of sesquiterpenes are always higher than monoterpenes in both leaf (2.0-3.4 times) and stem (1.6-8.3 times). The mono- and sesquiterpenes yields of the leaf are higher than the stem. There was no significant difference among the leaf developmental stages, while those of stem were varied. Seventeen monoterpenes and 9 sesquiterpenes compound in this plants comprised more than 5% of the mean total monoterpenes and the total sesquiterpenes in each dates. Among leaf monoterpenes, the concentration of (+)-Limonene and unknown compound no. 13 (Retention time, R.T.=17.28) varied significantly during leaf growing season, and the concentrafion of unknown compound no. 7 (R.T.=35.04) and no. 9(R.T.=35.71) varied in the leaf sesquiterpenes. Similarly the results from the leaf, the concentration of five monoterpenes in stem also varied significantly during maturing period, and much varied in seven compounds of stem sesquiterpene. The major sesquiterpenes of leaf and stem were ${\alpha}-Humulene$ and compound no. 2(R.T.=26.19).
