Abstract

Heavy metal pollution is a widespread global problem causing serious environmental concern. Heavy metals such as Cd, Pb, and Zn can induce toxicity in all organisms if the soil levels of contaminants reach critical values. The aim of the present study was to examine the application of Liriope platyphylla, an ornamental Korean native plant with great potential for contaminated soil in urban areas, to determine tolerance for Cd, Pb, and Zn. Plants were grown in amended artificial soil with Cd, Pb, and Zn at 0, 100, 250, and $500mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ for 7 months. The length of leaf, width of leaf, total leaf number, dead leaf number, new leaf number, chlorophyll contents, and ornamental value were monitored from May to August, during growth the period. The relative leaf length and leaf width displayed rapidly decreasing tendencies with an increasing Cd concentration beginning from 4 months after planting. The same decreasing tendency was observed in total leaf number, new leaf number, chlorophyll contents, and ornamental values showed a trend of Control> $Cd_{100}$ > $Cd_{250}$ > $Cd_{500}$. In Pb concentration treatments, the relative leaf length and leaf width were significantly lower in plants grown at $250mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ and $500mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ as compared to the Control, $100mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$. The total leaf number, new leaf number, and dead leaf number did not show significant difference among treatments in Control and $Pb_{100}$ but chlorophyll contents and ornamental value decreased with increasing Pb supply concentration treatments. However, in Zn supply treatments, the relative leaf length was higher at $100mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ than the Control, $250mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$, $500mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$, but the relative leaf width decreased compared to the Control, $Zn_{100}$, $Zn_{250}$, and $Zn_{500}$. The total leaf number, dead leaf number, new leaf number, and ornamental value showed the lowest value in plants grown in $Zn_{500}$ treatment but no significant differences were found among other treatments.

본 연구는 토양 내 중금속(카드뮴, 납, 아연) 처리 농도에 따른 자생 맥문동의 외형적인 생장 변화를 살펴봄으로써, 도시 내 중금속 오염지의 관상효과 증진을 위한 수종탐색 자료로 활용하고자 수행하였다. 중금속은 카드뮴, 납, 아연등 3종류이고, 처리 농도는 Control, 100, 250, $500mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ 등 4가지로서, 총 12가지 처리구로 구성하였다. 2009년 3월에 각각의 실험구에 10개씩 3반복으로 각 처리구에 정식하여, 같은 해 9월까지 약 7개월간 온실에서 실험을 실시하였다. 생장이 가장 활발한 시기라 볼 수 있는 5월부터 8월까지 약 3개월 동안 엽장, 엽폭, 총엽수, 고사엽수, 신엽수, 엽록소함량, 관상가치 등을 중심으로 생장 변화를 모니터링하였다. 카드뮴(Cd) 처리구의 경우, 엽장과 엽폭의 상대생장률이 식재 후 4개월이 경과된 시점에서 급속히 감소하였다. 총엽수, 신엽수, 엽록소함량, 관상가치 등의 형태적 항목에서도 Control> $Cd_{100}$ > $Cd_{250}$ > $Cd_{500}$ 순으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 납(Pb) 처리구에서 엽장의 상대생장률은 $Pb_{250}$과 $Pb_{500}$ 처리구에서만 변화율이 감소한 반면, 엽폭은 납 처리 농도가 높을수록 성장률의 감소양상이 뚜렷하였다. 총엽수, 신엽수, 고사엽수등은 대조구와 $Pb_{100}$ 처리구에서 비교적 유사하였으나, 엽록소함량, 관상가치 등은 납 처리 농도가 증가할수록 감소양상이 매우 뚜렷했다. 아연(Zn) 처리구는 카드뮴와 납 처리구와는 달리 식재 후 4개월이 경과된 시점에서도 변화율의 차이가 있을 뿐, 엽장은 꾸준히 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 엽폭 상대성장율 또한 $Zn_{500}$ 처리구를 제외하고, 비교적 완만한 성장세를 보였다. 총엽수, 신엽수, 고사엽수, 관상가치는 $Zn_{500}$ 처리구에서 가장 낮은 값을 나타낸 반면, Control, $Zn_{100}$, $Zn_{250}$ 처리구간에 차이가 뚜렷하지 않았다. 본 연구를 통해, 맥문동의 관상가치적 관점에서 생장 변화를 파악함으로써 향후 현장적용의 기반 연구로서 큰 의미를 갖는다고 하겠다. 하지만, 중금속에 대한 식물의 내성은 중금속 자체의 특이성과 환경조건에 따라 변화할 수 있다는 개연성을 가지므로, 실내연구와 현장적용성 연구가 병행되어야 할 것이다.
