造景樹木의 VA內生菌根에 관한 硏究 = Studies on Vesicular-Arbuscular Endomycorrhizae of Woody Landscape Plants

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The beneficial role of Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhizae (VAM) for growth of woody landscape plants has already been well demonstrated in many countries, but little has been studied about VAM in Korea. So far, researches concerning physiological aspects of VAM have been abundant compared to researches on the ecological sides in woody landscape plants. Especially, the study about VA mycorrhizal fungi indigenous to threeflower maple (Acer triflorum), Korean mountain-ash. (Sorbus alnifolia), and European bird cherry (Prunus padus) have been less studied.
The studies described here were undertaken to identify the genera of VAM fungi living in the soil wherein threeflower maple, Korean mountain-ash, and European bird cherry rooted, to observe infected root of host plants, and to compare mycorrhizal colonization related to soil factors.
The results obtained were as follows. Ornamental trees roots infected by VAM fungi were observed and identified genera of the fungi investigated in the rhizosphere soil were Glomus sp. The VAM fungi of threeflower maple and Korean mountain-ash showed a circular form, but spore of European bird cherry showed a ellipsoidal form. Vesicle diameter of landscape plants were found from 25.21㎛ to 50.43㎛. Mycorrhizal colonization of threeflower maple, Korean mountain-ash, and European bird cherry were respectively 46.7, 33.3, and 20.0%. Soil pH of landscape trees were slightly acid, and available soil phosphate in the rhizosphere soil showed lower than normal soils. Rhizosphere soil moisture content were 22.90-29.38%.
