Abstract

Subalpine species, Sorbus pohuashanensis in the Korean peninsula, which is assumed to be evolved from hybridization between S. commixta and an unknown species based on the flavonoids data. Morphometric analysis was conducted on the basis of 19 leaf and flower (or fruit) characters. A total of 721 samples in 13 populations of Sorbus pohuashanensis and S. commixta from Korea and additional specimens of S. commixta, S. pohuashanensis, and S. wilsoniana from Japan and China were examined to reveal the hybridization patterns and morphological differences. We found a preliminary evidence where Korean mountain rowan is more related to a Chinese inland taxon, S. wilsoniana, rather than Northeastern Chinese S. pohuashanensis in terms of flavonoids. The current morphological structure of the Korean mountaion rowan, however, which is more similar to S. commixta, was neither associated with that of S. wilsoniana nor that of S. pohuashanensis. This indicates that this morphological variation represents an intermediate of S. commixta and S. wilsoniana via a more ancient hybridization event in terms of qualitative characters, such as stipules, buds, and carpels. These morphometric differences together with other distinguishing characteristics suggest that the Korean mountain rowan should be considered as a conspecific species of S. commixta, although this demonstration of hybridization with the current phenetic species concept contradicts longstanding historical species concept.

플라보노이드 분석을 실시한 결과 한반도 아고산지역에 널리 분포하는 것으로 추정되는 당마가목[Sorbus pohuashanensis (Hance) Hedl.]은 중국 내륙에 분포하는 S. wilsoniana, S. amabilis과 동일한 화학형을 보이거나, 혹은 마가목[S. commixta Hedl.]의 화학형이 집단별로 나타나 잡종 가능성이 제기되었다. 따라서, 근연종과 잡종가능성이 제기되는 중국 내륙의 개체들과 당마가목과 마가목 분포지인 한중일의 721개 개체의 19개 형질에 대한 다변량분석을 시도하여 분류군의 형태적 분화와 형질에 대한 분석을 시도하였다. 정량적 형질에 대한 단변량과 다변량분석에서 마가목분류군 전체 종간에 뚜렷하게 구분할 수 있는 식별형질은 찾지 못한 반면, 정성형질인 동아의 색, 동아와 잎 뒷면의 털의 색깔 및 유무, 탁엽의 모양의 차이와 심피의 모양에서 종간 식별 형질을 확인하였다. 형태 분석과 플라보이드 연구 결과, 한반도에 분포하는 한반도당마가목은 중국동북 3성과 극동러시아의 당마가목(S. pohuashanensis)과는 전혀 다른 화학형으로서, 중국 내륙에 분포하는 S. wilsoniana와 마가목과의 과거 잡종이입에 의한 분류군으로 판단된다. 한반도에 분포하는 추정 교잡종인 당마가목은 정량적, 정성적으로 마가목과 형태적으로 별다른 차이점을 확인할 수 없어, 역사적 종의 개념(historical species concept)에 의한 신 잡종기재보다는 전형질적 종의 개념(phenetic species concept)에 근거하여 마가목과 동일종으로 보는 것이 타당하여 마가목의 이명으로 처리하였다.
