Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyse misinformation about gymnosperm taxon used for over 57 years, since 1957 when plant biology as a discipline was established in our country. That is, terminologies and descriptions of the reproductive structure (flower) of angiosperms (flowering seed plants) have been incorrectly applied to the reproductive structures (typically cones and pollen grain) of gymnosperms (non-flowering seed plants) by numerous and various media such as text books, dictionaries, and internet websites for plant biology. Thus, these resources have been misleading teachers, students, and other people interested in plant biology in general and taxonomy in particular by describing gymnosperm reproductive structures as if they are the same as angiosperms. Such a practice has an especially adverse effect on plant biology education at all levels of instruction, with teachers and students confused in their understanding of the concept and definition of a flower. In this paper, these incorrect expressions for the reproductive structures of gymnosperms from the various media are analysed and discussed in terms of cladogram, anatomy of reproductive structures, and historical context of classification systems.

이 연구의 목적은 우리나라에서 식물학이 시작된 이후 57년이 넘도록 나자식물 분류군에 대하여 다음과 같이 잘못 인식되어 온 관행의 원인을 분석하는 데 있다. 즉, 수많은 식물(분류)학 관련 매체들에서, 나자식물(꽃이 피지 않는 종자식물)의 생식구조(cone 및 pollen)에 관한 용어 및 기재에 피자식물(꽃이 피는 종자식물)에서 사용되는 생식기관(꽃)의 용어들을 그대로 적용하여 쓰고 있다. 이로 인하여, 마치 나자식물이 꽃이 피는 식물(피자식물)인 것처럼 오도되고 있다. 특히, 이러한 오류의 관행은 각급 학교에서 교사와 학생들이 꽃에 대한 개념 및 정의를 이해하는 데 있어서 커다란 혼란을 불러 일으키고 있으며, 이는 식물(분류)학 교육에 심각한 문제가 아닐 수 없다. 따라서 많은 식물학 관련 매체들로부터 나자식물에 대하여 잘못 표현된 용어 및 기재를 조사하여, 이를 분계도, 생식구조의 해부학, 분류체계의 역사적 배경 등의 관점에서 분석하고 논의하였다.
