  • 칠곡 금무봉 나무고사리 화석산지는 1925년 Tateiwa가 중생대 나무고사리 줄기 화석(Cyathocaulis naktongensis)을 처음 발견한 모식산지로서, 그 학술적 가치를 인정받아 일제강점기인 1930년대부터 천연기념물로 지정, 약 90여년 간 보존되어 왔다. 하지만, 발견 당시 나무고사리 화석 산출 층준을 찾지 못해, 전석 상태의 표본을 기반으로 낙동층 내 역암/사암층을 함화석층으로 해석하면서, 금무봉 일대가 광범위하게 문화재구역으로 설정되었다. 2003년 이후, 지정구역 인근 노두에서 나무고사리 화석이 발견되면서 산출지역의 퇴적암상이 특정되었으며, 나무고사리 화석의 외형과 해부학적 특징에 대한 연구가 추가적으로 이루어졌다. 이를 통해 Ogura가 국내에서 보고한 Cyathocaulis속 2종의 분류 기준을 재검토하고, C. naktongensis와 C. tateiwai가 동종일 가능성을 고찰하였다. 또한, 오랫동안 이어져 온 각종 규제에 따른 갈등과 민원 해결을 위해, 현재의 문화재 구역은 시대환경 변화에 맞게 적정성 검토를 통한 큰 폭의 재조정이 필요하다고 판단된다.

  • The research was carried out to define the environmental characteristics and vegetation structure of the evergreen fern habitat in Jejudo. The growth conditions of evergreen fern in various habitats was surveyed, including topographical features, vegetation structure, air temperature, humidity, intensity of light, water content and organic matter content in the soil. In the direction of the native habitat, 70% of research area was located in the southeast-facing slopes, 30% was located in southern slopes. The gradient ranged from $0^{\circ}$ to $30^{\circ}$. Temperature ranged from $16^{\circ}C$ to $28^{\circ}C$, and $22.3^{\circ}C$ was the average. Humidity ranged from 20 to 68%, and 36% was the average. In the native habitat, the highest light intensities reached 60,000 to 80,0001ux, but in general ranged from 300 to 40001ux. Water content in the soil ranged from 32% to 59%, organic matter content ranged from 8 to 13%. Within a unit of 25$m^2$, there were tall-tree layer such as Quercus galuca and Castanopsis cuspidata with a covering of rate 40~80%, a sub-tall-tree layer such as Camellia japonica, Staphylea bumalda and Sambucus williamsii with the covering rate of 3~5%, a shrub layer with the covering rate of 5~20%, and a grass layer with the covering rate of 40~95%. This research provides the basic data about the native habitat environment of the evergreen fern plant. Continuous monitoring and accumulation of data is necessary for the use of evergreen fern as vegetation materials.

  • Cyathea gigantea is a tree fern distributed throughout humid tropical regions of northeast India and other parts of the country. However, wild populations of this species are largely affected by various natural and anthropogenic activities. Therefore, an attempt was made to study the population structure and regeneration status of C. gigantea in and around greater Itanagar area of Papum Pare district, Arunachal Pradesh. Altogether 45 patches, ranging from 19.63 to $260m^2$ of area, were randomly sampled to study population structure and regeneration status of the species. Population study showed highest number of youngs in the height class of 0.50-0.75 m while, immatures were recorded highest in the height class of 2.0 to 2.5 m. Majority of the matures belonged to 6-9 m height class while it was recorded maximum in the diameter class of 10-15 cm. Average density of C. gigantea was $0.07individuals\;ha^{-1}$ which varied greatly among different patches with a range of 2 to 14. Significant correlations were found between patch size and density of youngs, immatures, matures and total density. Maximum concentration of youngs was observed in patch size $60-140m^2$, while for immatures, it was highest in patch size $20-160m^2$. Similarly, highest concentration of matures was observed in patch size $20-80m^2$ and $80-180m^2$. Population structure of the total population exhibited inverted pyramid shaped distribution. Population structure consisting of youngs, immatures, matures showed that around 60% patches lack of regenerating individuals which depict very poor natural regeneration of the species. Effective conservation strategies are therefore to be formulated to save C. gigantea from the threat of extinction in near future.

  • 제주도에 자생하는 양치식물 25종을 대상으로 항산화활성, ACE 저해활성, APN 저해활성 및 $\alpha$-amylase 저해활성을 검색하였다. 항산화활성은 쇠고비와 일색고사리에서 비교적 높아서 항산화 음료로 애용되고 있는 차나무 잎보다도 더 높았다. ACE 저해활성과 APN 저해활성은 전체적으로 낮았으나, 쇠고비에서 각각 26.7%와 28.2%으로 비교적 높은 저해활성을 나타내었다. $\alpha$-Amylase 저해활성은 10종이 50% 이상의 높은 활성으로 보였으며, 그 중에서 쇠고비와 홍지네고사리의 저해활성이 특히 높았다. 이상의 결과로부터 쇠고비는 항산화활성뿐만 아니라 ACE 저해활성, APN 저해활성과 $\alpha$-amylase 저해활성 모두 다른 식물에 비해 높아 생리활성 물질의 분리 및 동정 등 식품소재 및 식물생약으로 이용하기 위한 후속 연구가 기대된다.

  • Virus-like symptoms including stunt, severe mosaic with malformation of leaves, fern-like leaves and abnormal petals were observed from an African impatiens (Impatiens walleriana) grown in a plant nursery in Icheon, Korea. Serological analysis using immuno-strip kits for viruses reported in African impatiens indicated that Cucumber mosaic virus (named CMV-Im) was a causal agent for the symptomatic African impatiens. Biological properties of CMV-Im were analyzed using responses of host plant species, suggesting that CMV-Im is a typical strain that belongs to CMV subgroup I. RT-PCR analysis verified CMV-Im infection from naturally infected African impatiens or mechanically inoculated some host species. Analysis of multiple alignments of CMV capsid protein (CP) sequences showed that CMV-Im shared high CP amino acids identities with other CMV strains. Phylogenetic tree analysis for the CP sequences of CMV-Im and representative CMV strains confirmed that CMV is a typical member of CMV subgroup I. To our knowledge, it is the first report of CMV in African impatiens in Korea.

  • In this study, the chloroplast (cp) genome sequences from three early diverged leptosporangiate ferns were completed and analyzed in order to understand the evolution of the genome of the fern lineages. The complete cp genome sequence of Osmunda cinnamomea (Osmundales) was 142,812 base pairs (bp). The cp genome structure was similar to that of eusporangiate ferns. The gene/intron losses that frequently occurred in the cp genome of leptosporangiate ferns were not found in the cp genome of O. cinnamomea. In addition, putative RNA editing sites in the cp genome were rare in O. cinnamomea, even though the sites were frequently predicted to be present in leptosporangiate ferns. The complete cp genome sequence of Diplopterygium glaucum (Gleicheniales) was 151,007 bp and has a 9.7 kb inversion between the trnL-CAA and trnV-GCA genes when compared to O. cinnamomea. Several repeated sequences were detected around the inversion break points. The complete cp genome sequence of Lygodium japonicum (Schizaeales) was 157,142 bp and a deletion of the rpoC1 intron was detected. This intron loss was shared by all of the studied species of the genus Lygodium. The GC contents and the effective numbers of codons (ENCs) in ferns varied significantly when compared to seed plants. The ENC values of the early diverged leptosporangiate ferns showed intermediate levels between eusporangiate and core leptosporangiate ferns. However, our phylogenetic tree based on all of the cp gene sequences clearly indicated that the cp genome similarity between O. cinnamomea (Osmundales) and eusporangiate ferns are symplesiomorphies, rather than synapomorphies. Therefore, our data is in agreement with the view that Osmundales is a distinct early diverged lineage in the leptosporangiate ferns.
