| Research Abstract |
The present study was performed to understand history of introduction of Ginkgo tree into Japan and of propagation, using with DNA analysis and with legends in historical literatures. Based on DNA analysis, we found common and different DNA types among Japan, South Korea, and China, and the spread route was considered. Moreover, by investigation using the old database of big trees, we figured out characters of some big trees, including Ginkgo tree, in Japan and Korean Peninsula.
