Abstract

남한산성 지역에서 춘계단명식물인 현호색 자연집단에 대해 2년간 종자생산의 특성을 조사하였다. 개화는 4월초에, 종자생산은 5월초에 일어나 개화로부터 종자생산까지는 30일이 소요되었으며 생식기관의 수가 감소하는 시기는 낙화 및 결실기 사이가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 개체 당 생산하는 꽃의 수는 1∼13개, 종자의 수는 0∼76개, 열매 당 종자의 수는 0∼20개이었다. 한 개체 내에서 열매 당 종자생산량은 가장 아래에 위치한 꽃이 11.8개로 많았으며 상부로 이행할수록 급격히 감소하였다. 동일한 개체가 생산하는 종자의 수는 매년 큰 폭으로 변하였으며 작은 개체는 다음해 많은 수의, 큰 개체는 적은 수의 증자를 생산하였다. 생육초기 개화체의 비율은 개체의 크기(괴경의 부피)가 증가할수록 증가하였으며 가장 작은 크기 계급인 <100 ㎣에서 5.0%(1999)∼5.4%(2000)를, 600㎣≤ 에서 100%를 나타냈다. 한편, 각 계급별 평균 꽃의 수는 2000년이 1999년보다 많았다. 특히 900 ㎣≤에서는 6.5개(1999)와 13.2개(2000)로 현저한 차이를 보였다. 생육후기 개화체의 비율은 <100 ㎣에서 13.3%이었고 500 ㎣≤ 에서 100%이었다. 따라서 생육초기보다 개화체의 비율이 다소 높게 나타났다. 괴경의 체적이나 건중량의 크기에 따른 열매의 수 및 종자의 수는 대체로 증가하였지만 경향성은 뚜렷하지 않았고 동일 크기계급 내에서도 개체마다 편차가 심하였다. 한편, 엽면적이 증가할수록 열매의 수나 종자의 수는 뚜렷이 증가하였다. 따라서 종자의 생산량은 생육기간동안 광합성량과 관계가 깊은 것으로 볼 수 있었다. Properties of seed production in Corydalis, spring ephemeral, group were studied during two years at Namhansansung area. Corydalis´ flower was out in the early April and its seed dispersed in the early May. The period of total seed production was 30 days. The decrease rate of sex organs was the highest between deflowering time and early fruiting time. The numbers of flower and seed per plant were in the range of 1∼13 and 0∼76, respectively. And the number of seed per fruit was from zero to twenty. In a plant, seed production was the most (11.8 seeds) in the lowest fruit and conspicuously decreased along the upward fruit. In the same plant, seed production was various by each year. The plants of small tuber size produced more seeds and those of large tuber size produced fewer seeds in the next year than this year. In the early growth season, the flowering plants/total plants rate increased in proportion to plant size (tuber volume), the rate of the smallest size class (<100 ㎣) was in the range of 5.0%(1999)∼5.4%(2000), those over the 600 ㎣ size classes were 100%. The number of flower per plant at the same size class were higher in 2000 than in 1999. Especially, at the size class of 900 ㎣≤, the numbers of flower per plant were 13.2 in 2000 and 6.5 in 1999. In the late growth season, the flowering plants/total plants rates were 13.3%in the smallest size class (<100 ㎣)and 100% over the 500 ㎣ size classes. Therefore, the flowering plants/total plants rates along the size classes were higher in the late growth season than in the early one. The bumer of fruit or seed per plant increased in proportion to the volume and dry weight of tuber, there was not significant and varied along each plant in the same size class. The number of fruit or seed per plant conspicuously increased in proportion to the leaf area. Therefore, it was thought that seed production was related to photosynthetic ability during growth season.
