참느릅나무의 개화, 수분 및 결실 특성에 관한 연구 = Study on Flowering, Pollination and Samara Characteristics of Chinese elm, Ulmus parvifolia in Wonju, Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

To examine the reason of empty samara production of Chinese elm, Ulmus parviflora, twenty two planted trees in Wonju-si were monitered for three years in terms of their flowering, pollinatiom system and samara characteristics. Inflorescences with bisexual flowers of Chinese elm are developed in the leaf axils on the twigs. Dichogamous flowers are varied with protogynuous and protandrous flower, and stamens in some bisexual flowers are developed in seperated time on a inflorescence or a tree. It is revealed newly that the flower of Chinese elm is out-crossed and partially insect(Apis mellifera) pollinated. The ratios of sound samara are significantly differed among years, the heighest values 65.5% were shown in 2009, lowered 42.9% in 2010, and the lowest 37.5% in 2011. This result might be affected by mean daily precipitation and number of rainy days during the flowering date, and lower temperature during the floral initiation stage, especially in 2011. These findings suggest that Chinese elm has self-incompatibility strategy and much pollination failure resulted in a production of much empty samaras. Further researches on the empty-seed production strategies and pollination system of major tree species might be needed.

참느릅나무가 많은 쭉정이 시과를 생산하는 원인을 구명하고자 원주지역에서 생육하는 22그루의 참느릅나무 성목의 개화, 수분 및 시과특성을 3년간 조사하였다. 참느릅나무는 당년지 엽액에 양성화가 달리는 화서를 형성하고, 꽃은 웅예선숙, 자예선숙 및 웅예이숙 하는 등의 독특한 성 형태를 가지고 있었다. 참느릅나무는 대부분의 느릅나무속 수종들과는 달리 타가수분하며 부분적이나마 충매한다는 사실이 새롭게 밝혀졌다. 충실시과의 비율의 평균값은 연도별로 고도의 퉁계적 유의차가 인정되었으며, 2009년 65.6%로 가장 높았으며, 2010년 42.9%, 2011년 37.5%로 현저히 낮아졌다. 이는 화분비산에 영향하는 강수량이나 강우일수, 화아분화기인 봄철의 저온 등에 영향을 받은 것이라 사료된다. 이상의 결과를 통하여 참느릅나무는 자가불화합성을 지니고 수분실패로 많은 쭉정이시과를 생산하는 것이라 사료된다. 앞으로 쭉정이시과를 생산하는 주요 수목의 전략, 수분시스템 등에 대한 많은 연구가 필요할 것이라 판단된다.
