The chromosome behavior and it's synapsis in the meiosis of pollen mother cell were studied on Populus alba L. as a female parent tree, Populus glandulosa Uyeki as a male parent tree and their hybrid, Populus alba x glandulosa. 1. At metaphase I, the number of nuclear plates with early separation chromosome were observed with the lowest proportion of 11.0% in Populus glandulosa and with the highest proportion of 13.0% in Populus alba${\times}$glandulosa. 2. At metaphase II, early separation chromosomes appeared with the frequency of 11.0% in Populus alba${\times}$glandulosa. But the frequency was not different with those of the parental trees. 3. At anaphase I, lagging chromosomes appeared with some high rate of 11.6% in Populus alba${\times}$glandulosa and yet the number of chromosome bridges in populus alba x glandulosa almost were not different with the partental trees. 4. At anaphase II, lagging chromosomes appeared with some high frequency of 10.2% in Populus alba${\times}$glandulosa and the chromosome bridges in Populus glandulosa appeared with the highest frequency in all studied trees. 5. The frequency of abnormal pollen sporad was the highest value of 8.2% in Populus alba${\times}$glandulosa among the studied trees. With the results, it might be assured that the chromosome segregation and it's synapsis behaved normally in Populus alba, Populus glandulosa and Populus alba x glandulosa, and so all the studied trees could produced normal pollens.

We examined sapflow of two Populus species such as Populus alba ${\times}$ Populus glandulosa and Populus euramericana, grown under Swine wastewater treatment. Sapflow of Populus euramericana was 1.8 times higher than that of Populus alba ${\times}$ Populus glandulosa for 14 months. Sapflow of Populus euramericana and Populus alba${\times}$Populus glandulosa was 4,628L and 2,538L during this period, respectively. Positive relationship between sapflow density and solar radiation and temperature had been shown. Mean temperature, relative humidity and sapflow was strongly associated. There was a decreasing sapflow tendency of the two poplar species during the late October when the mean temperature was decreased. In addition, the data showed high relationship between sapflow and photosynthesis. Two poplar species showed dramatic decrease of sapflow since October.

A natural Quercus variabilis forest and a Populus alba${\times}$P. glandulosa plantation in Mt. Mohu area were studied to investigate aboveground biomass and net production. A $20m{\times}30m$ quadrat was set up in each stand, and 10 sample trees each of Quercus variabilis and Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa were cut for dimension analysis. There was little difference in accuracy among three biomass regression models of logWt=A+BlogD, $logWt=A+BlogD^2H$, and logWt=A+BlogD+ClogH, where Wt. D, and H were dry weight, DBH, and height, respectively. Aboveground total biomass of Quercus variabilis stand was 31,275kg/ha, and that of Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa was 55,581kg/ha. In both of Quercus variabilis stand and Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa stand, the proportion of each tree component to abovegound total biomass was high in order of stem wood, branches, stem bark, and leaves. Quercus variabilis stand was higher in the proportion of stem bark, branches and leaves than Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa stand, while the former was lower in that of stem wood than the latter. Aboveground total net production of Quercus variabilis stand was 4,267kg/ha/yr., and that of Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa stand was 3,903kg/ha/yr. The proportion of each tree component to aboveground total net production of Quercus variabilis stand was high in order of leaves, stem wood, branches, and stem bark. That of Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa stand was high in order of stem wood, leaves, branches, and stem bark. Net assimilation rate and efficiency of leaf to produce stem of Quercus variabilis stand were 2.121 and 0.840, respectively. Those of Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa stand were 3.376 and 2.085, respectively. Though Populus alba${\times}$P. glandulosa stand was lower in aboveground total net production than Quercus variabilis stand, the former was higher in aboveground total biomass than the latter. The reason was that Populus alba${\times}$P. glandulosa stand was higher in net production of stem wood of accumulation organs than Quercus variablis stand.

In order to investigate biomass yield of one-year-old hyblrid poplars, Pripulusalba x P. glandulosa $F_1$ and Populus nigra var. italica x P. maximowiczii $F_1$clones, as energy and fiber resources, dry matter yield, leaf area, leaf area index, dry matter production ability, specific gravity and fiber length and width were measured. Dry matter yield was 1.89 ton/ha for Poplus alba x P. glandulosa $F_1$ and 3.63 ton/ha for Populus nigra via.italica x P. merximowiczii $F_1$ clones in the planting density of 20,000 trees/ha and in the planting density of 40,000 trees/ha was 3.87 ton/ha for Populus alba x P. glandulosa $F_1$and 5.64 ton/ha for Populus nigra var. italica x P. maximowiczii $F_1$ clones. Leaf area index was 1.24mtim2 in the planting density of 20,000 trees/ha and 2.45 m31m3 in the density of 40,000 trees/ha for Populus alba x P. glandulosa $F_1$ clones and it was 1.96 m21m2 in the planting density of 20,000 trees/ha and 3.36 m21m2 in the density of 40,000 trees/ha for the hybrid $F_1$ Populus nigra var. italica x P. maximowiczii clones. The average specific gravity of the hybrid poplars was 0..36 when bark and pith were included and 0.31 when bark and pith were removed in the plot of 20,000 trees/ha and in the 40,000 trees/ha plot showed 0.35 and 0.31 respectively, for Populus alba x P. glandulosa $F_1$clones. It was 0.36 when bark and pith were included and 0.32 when bark and pith were removed in the 20,000 trees/ha plot and in the 40,000 trees/ha plot was 0.34 and 0.31 respectively for Populus nigra var. italica x P. maximowiczii $F_1$clones. The average fiber length was 0.57 mm in the 20,000 trees/ha plot and 0.58 mm in the 40,000 trees/ha plot for Poplus alba x P. glandulosa $F_1$clones and was 0.60 in both plots of 20,000 trees/ha and 40,000 trees/ha for Populus nigra var. italica x P. maximowiczii $F_1$ clones. There is a big clonal variation among those clones studied, showing high selection potential in both species.

Inheritance of four isozymes, GOT, ACP, MDH and ADH, in Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa was investigated with starch gel electrophoresis. All four isozymes showed bands. For GOT, six or seven loci were postulated and observed segregation of hybrids at five variable loci was in agreement with expected segregation. Two loci were postulated in ACP; one locus showed no variation but the other locus showed variation. As one additional band was found in P. alba ${\times}$ P. alba (italy), hybrids from P. alba ${\times}$ P. alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa showed more variation than hybrids from P. alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa. One monomorphic locus and two variable loci were postulated in MDH. For ADH, both parents were turned out as homozygotes but for different alleles and thus all progenies were heterozygotes. ADH in hybrids seems to be a dieter enzyme as it showed on additional band between two parental bands. There were no variation in band betweens of four enzymes among the clones of P alba and P. glandulosa, respectively.

We examined two Populus species (Populus euramericana and Populus alba ${\times}$ Populus glandulosa) trees grown under livestock waste leachate treatment in the field. We investigated their physiological properties (photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll contents, transpiration rate and intercellular $CO_2$ concentration) and antioxidant enzyme activities. Ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase were analyzed. According to our measurements, P. euramericana at control site showed a lower total chlorophyll contents, photosynthetic rate, intercellular $CO_2$ concentration, transpiration and stomatal conductance than those of trees at treatment site. P. alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa showed low stomatal conductance and low photosynthetic rate.

Genetic variance and heritability for height growth of Populus alba${\times}$ P. glandulosa were estimated. Remarkable different between P. alba${\times}$ alba(Italy), female and P. alba naturalized in Korea was observed in the genetic variance and therefore genetic character of the P. alba${\times}$ alba(Italy) was considered better than that of P. alba. The heritability (83%) for the female was considerably high. On the other hand, P. glandulosa, pollen tree. showed narrow genetic variance and also very heritability(17%). Two(A and B) of three pollen trees showed the same trend in the genetric variance. However, the other(c) was somewhat different from A and B. Similarly, rooting ability of cuttings differed between female trees, but did not between male trees. Naturalized Pl alba showed relatively higher rooting ability than P. alba${\times}$ alba(Italy). In the pollen trees, the ability was similar in two male trees. However, the other male tree(c) was slightly poorer than the other two.

After long exposure to low-density $SO_2$ the five tree species showed different changes in their visible damage: Ailanthus altissima showed no visible damage; Acanthopanax sessiliflorus, Populus alba ${\times}$ Populus glandulosa, and Platanus orientalis showed typical damage of yellow spots on their leaves; and Liriodendron tulipifera showed serious damage on the end of leaf tip. The photosynthesis rate of Liriodendron tulipifera and Acanthopanax sessiliflorus was usually lower than the control group: Ailanthus altissima, Populus alba ${\times}$ Populus glandulosa, and Platanus orientalis showed no difference from the control group, while Acanthopanax sessiliflorus and Liriodendron tulipifera showed large changes. In regard to the light compensation points, Ailanthus altissima showed similar values, Populus alba ${\times}$ Populus glandulosa and Platanus orientalis exposed to $SO_2$, showed 3 to $5{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ higher values than the control group, and Acanthopanax sessiliflorus and Liriodendron tulipifera exposed to $SO_2$ showed approximately twice higher light compensation points.

A cDNA, PSOD1, encoding cytosolic copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) was cloned and characterized from a full length cDNA library prepared from Populus alba${\times}$Populus glandulosa cultured in vitro. A PSOD1, is 725 nucleotides long and has an open reading frame of 459 bp with 152 amino acid residues (pI 5.43). The deduced amino acid sequence of PSOD1 perfect matched to the previously reported CuZn-SOD (CAC33845.1). Consensus amino acid residues (His-45, -47, -62, -70, -79, -119) were involved in Cu-, Cu/Zn-, and Zn- binding ligands. The deduced amino acid sequence of PSOD1 exhibited the high level of similarity from 100 to $85\%$ among previously registered SOD genes. The expression of PSOD1 in poplar increased at the 1 mM $H_{2}O_2$ and drought stress during 30 min and 60 min, but the ozone treated poplar increased at 30 min in the early time and then decreased at 60 min.

We examined sapflow of two populus tree species (Populus alba ${\times}$ Populus glandulosa and Populus euramericana) grown under Swine wastewater treatment, and measured relationship between sapflow and climate facters. Sapflow of P. euramericana was 1.5 times greater than that of P. alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa from September to late December 2007. However, sapflow of P. euramericana and P. alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa was similar after late January. The relationship between the mean temperature and sapflow was relatively high. There was a decrease in sapflow tendency of the two poplar species during the late October when the mean temperature was low. Trends on relationship between the relative humidity and sapflow showed low relationship. However, data showed weak relationship between sapflow and precipitation. During the period of less precipitation, sapflow of P. alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa has no relationship. Sapflow of two populus species was still active during non-growing season. P. euramericana was considered as a better species than P. alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa, in terms of phytoremediation.
