MMS 처리를 통한 좀비비추 잎변이 품종 ‘Eunha’ 육성 Breeding of Leaf Variegated Hosta minor ‘Eunha’ Induced by MMS Treatment
pp.139-141
좀비비추 ‘Eunha’는 돌연변이 유기용 화학물질인 MMS(methyle methane sulfonate)용액을 이용하여 돌연변이개체를 유기하고 그 중 녹색잎에 흰색에 가까운 줄 무늬가 들어간 개체를 선발하여 영양번식한 품종이 다. 2003년부터 3년간 특정검정을 실시하였는데, ‘Eunha’는 잎에 흰색 줄무늬가 년 중 변함없이 균일하 게 발현되는 것이 특징이고 잎 무늬가 독특하여 화분 용 및 화단용 반음지성 지피식물로서 화단용으로 이용 될 수 있는 매우 유용한 신품종이다.
A new leaf variegated cultivar ‘Eunha’ was developed by methyle methane sulfonate (MMS) treatment on seed of Hosta minor. Among induced leaf variegated plant, some with white color on the leaves was selected. They were cultivated via vegetative propagation. Assessment of botanical characteristics was conducted for three years since 2003. The major characteristic of these cultivars is that they maintain uniformly white stripe on the leaves consistantly. These cultivar is suitable for pot plants and as ground cover for landscape uses.
