This study was carried out to investigate features pertaining to spiral thickenings, which was considered one of the most important diagnostic values, for wood identification. Species, kind of cells with spiral thickening, and ridge numbers of spiral thickening per axial mm were recorded in 71 families, 144 genera, 316 species of Korean hardwoods. Spiral thickening was observed in 128 of 316 species, about 40.5 % of all the investigated, and classified into 6 types on the basis of distributional patterns and morphological features as follows: 1. Type 1, present throughout all vessel element, which was found in 14 families, 19 genera, 43 species. 2. Type 2, present only in small vessel element, which was found in 18 families, 29 genera, 41 species. 3. Type 3, present both in small vessel element and wood fibers, which was found in 8 families, 17 genera, 29 species. 4. Type 4, present in wood fibers, which was found in 1 family, 1 genus, 1 species. 5. Type 5, present only in tail of vessel element, which was found in 4 families, 5 genera, 9 species. 6. Type 6, being present in vessel element faintly or partially, which was found in 2 families, 3 genera, 5 species.

This study was carried out to investigate the variations of dimension and exterior shape of vessel elements, morphology of spiral thickening and ray-vessel pit in korean diffuse-porous woods (56 species, 18 families), The tangential pore diameter and vessel element length was increased, whereas the pore number per unit area($1mm^2$) was decreased from pith outwards. The tangential pore diameter was decreased but the length of vessel element was not changed from earlywood to latewood within an annual ring. However, the dimensional variations of vessel element was not able to be recognized among relative positions in peripheral variation. The exterior shape of vessel element could be classified into four types; Type 1 is without tail, Type 2 with ligulate tail, Type 3 with broad taper tail and Type 4 with the very short length between perforations. The distribution frequency of Type 2 and 3 was relatively high in comparision with the others. According to the prominence, distribution position and branched shape, the spiral thickenings could be divided into five types. The spiral thickenings occurred 52% in the species observed. Thus it was doubtful to consider the simple presence of spiral thickening as diagnostic index in diffuse-porous woods. The morphology of ray-vessel pit could be grouped as reticulate, scalariform, oval, linear and coalescent type. Most of species examined showed oval and linear type.

The structure of spiral thickenings, particulary the appearance, arrangement and orientation of thickenings in compression wood of Torreya nucifera, were studied in detail by light and polarizing microscope, scanning and transmission electron microscope. The results obtained are as follows: (1) Using the inclined sections at an angle of 45 degrees to the fiber axis, it seems that we can not only observe the more accurate transverse view of the thickenings but also investigate the formation of their thickenings. (2) Generally 2-4 pieces of thickenings are projected to the cell lumen as nipple-like appearance in transverse section and are as frequent, well developed, forming pair and have the rope-like appearance in radial surface. (3) The secondary wall of early wood is composed of 3 layers (S1, S2, S3) and orientation of thickening appears S helix but that of late wood is of 2 layers (S1, S2) and that orientation shows Z helix. Above two regions are demaracted at several tracheid cells from the growth ring boundary. (4) Orientation of thickening seems to be a element showing the characteristics of compression wood in Torreya nucifera. (5) It believes that the thickenings of compression wood are integral part of the S3 in early wood tracheids and of the S2 in late wood and have the same orientations as the inner-most microfibrils in these layers. (6) Thickening and cavities seem to be not formed together in a secondary cell wall of same tracheids.

Micromorphology of the vessel wall sculptures such as perforation plate, inter-vessel pits, vessel-ray pits, vessel-parenchyma pits, vestured pits, spiral thickening, and warts was observed in 78 species(45 genera, 25 families) of Korean hardwoods using a scanning electron microscopy. The SEM observation revealed the micromorphology of vessel wall sculptures which have not yet been described, and have confirmed findings already established at the light microscopical level.

Anatomical characteristics of the secondary xylem in the roots and the stems of genus Pinus including nine species growing naturally in Korea have been studied to elucidate the structural differences between two organs. The results, comparing the root woods with the stem woods, are as follows; The transition from the early-wood to the late-wood occurs more gradually in the root woods. In the root woods, the bordered pits on the radial wall of tracheid are frequent in the two rows. The spiral thickening on the radial and tangential wall of the tracheid can be seen in the only stem woods of four species such as P. koraiensis, P. rigida, P. rigitaeda and P. banksiana. In the majority of the species studied, the length of the tracheid is longer in the root woods, but in some species such as P. strobus, P. densiflora, P. rigida and P. sylvestris, this length is almost sam ein both organs. The diameter of the tracheid in the root woods is wider. The wall thickness of the tracheid in the early wood is thicker in the root woods, but vice versa in the late woods. More rays per unit area can be seen in the root woods.

잎갈나무와 일본잎갈나무의 종 구분을 위하여 해부학적 특성을 관찰하고, 재질의 특성을 밝히기 위하여 연륜폭, 가도관 길이, 밀도, 강도 등을 비교분석하였다. 수간해석와 시험편 채취를 위하여 강원도 정선군 정선읍 지역에서 생장한 잎갈나무와 일본잎갈나무를 경급별(대 중 소)로 1본씩 선발하여 벌채하였다. 잎갈나무와 일본잎갈나무의 평균 수령은 각각 74년, 51년, 평균 흉고지름은 각각 442 mm, 352 mm, 평균 수고는 각각 26.1 m, 20.8 m이었다. 두 수종의 수목해부학적 차이는 나선비후가 잎갈나무에 존재하지 않지만, 일본잎갈나무의 방사가도관에 드물게 존재한다는 점이다. 하지만 본 연구에서는 잎본잎갈나무의 방사단면에서 나선비후가 발견되지 않았다. 수고 1.2 m의 원판에서 측정된 잎갈나무와 일본잎갈나무의 연평균 직경생장은 각각 5.167 mm, 5.954 mm로 일본잎갈나무의 생장이 잎갈나무에 비하여 우수하였다. 강도측정을 위한 시험편의 물리적 특성에서 연평균 직경생장이 작은 잎갈나무가 일본잎갈나무에 비하여 만재율과 전건밀도가 크게 측정되었다. 역학적 특성은 잎갈나무가 일본잎갈나무에 비하여 2 - 7% 크게 측정되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 축적된 자료는 향후 수행될 DNA 분석을 통한 잎갈나무와 일본잎갈나무 종 구분의 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
