본 시험은 발아가능한 담배종자를 조기 파종하여 파종에 이용하고자 몇가지 버어리종 담배를 공시하여 수분후 8일부터 30일까지 2일간격으로 채종 발아조사를 하였던 바 1. 종자는 수분후 12일 이상이면 발아가능하여 파종에 이용할 수 있었고 발아율은 낮았으며 품종에 따라 변이가 컸다. 2. 적기채종시기는 수분후 24-28일이였다. 3. 과숙종자는 후숙이나 일시휴면현상을 보여 발아율이 감소하였다.
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of early seed harvest on germination of tobacco(Nicotiana tabacum L.) seeds. Seeds of seven burley tobacco were harvested every two days from 8 to 30 days after pollination and tested for germination. The results are; 1. Seeds harvested 12days after pollination germinated but germination rates were low and varied across cultivars. These seeds will provide viable seeds adequate for breeding program. 2. Germination rates of seeds harvested 24-28 days after pollination were high and showed none significant differences among cultivars. 4. Over-ripen seeds showed low germination rates cused by after-harvest or temporary dormancy.
