Abstract

A metabolomic study was conducted to identify key metabolic components, which are correlated with the growth of 4-year-old Pinus koraiensis seedlings harvested at actively height growing season (May 18th). Among 105 individual metabolites identified by GC/MS analysis, alanine, threonine, oleic acid, and butanoic acids were negatively correlated with both height and weight of 4-year-old seedlings, while malic acid, xylose, glucose, d-turanose and inositol had positive correlation with various growth parameters. During the actively growing season, the concentrations of both amino acids and organic acids in the main stem of Superior seedling group were lower but the photosynthates such as mono-saccharide and sucrose were higher than in other seedling groups such as Intermediate and Inferior. Interestingly, d-turanose, an analogue of sucrose that is not metabolized in higher plants but used as carbon source by many organisms including numerous species of bacteria and fungi, showed the highest correlation (r=0.896, p<0.001) with height of 4-year-old seedlings, indicating that possible interaction with mycorrhizal organisms. Therefore we suggest that several metabolites selected in this study may be used as metabolic markers for complex traits in P. koraiensis.

잣나무(Pinus koraiensis) 4년생의 생장특성인자와 관련이 있는 주요 대사물질을 확인하기위한 대사체 분석을 실시하였다. GC/MS로 분리한 105종을 대상으로 길이생장 및 건중량의 생장 특성과의 상관이 있는 대사물질을 분석하였다. Alanine, threonine, oleic acid 및 butanoic acids는 길이생장 및 건중량과 고도의 부의 상관관계가 있었고, 반면 malic acid, xylose, glucose, inositol 및 sucrose는 생장특성과 정의 상관관계가 있었다. 생장이 왕성한 시기에는 생장이 우수한 그룹에서 주지의 아미노산류나 유기산류 함량이 줄어드는 것으로 추정되었으며, 반면 단당류나 sucrose 같은 광합성 산물은 중위 및 하위 그룹에 비교해서 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 특이하게도 박테리아나 균류에서 생성되는 d-turanose의 함량이 4년생 잣나무 묘고생장과 고도의 상관관계(r=0.896, p<0.001)가 있었으며, 이는 근균류와의 관계가 있는 것으로 추정된다. 이러한 인자들은 잣나무 우량개체 선발을 위한 대사 표지자 개발의 기초자료로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.
