간척지에서 생육된 수도의 근군형성양상을 조사하기 위해 염해의 정도가 서로 다른 3구에서, 시료를 채취하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 고염지에서 생육한 수도의 근군은 저염지에서 생육된 수도의 근군보다 천근성을 나타냈다. 2. 고염지에서 생육된 수도의 근군을 구성하는 관근수는 저염지에서 생육된 수도의 근군을 구성하는 관근수보다 적었다. 3. 각 요소에서 출근된 관근수도 고염지에서 생육된 수도가 저염지에서 생육된 수도보다 적었으며, 이와 같은 현상은 이앙후 출근하는 요소에서부터 나타났다. 4. 각 처리구의 관근에 형성된 분지근의 밀도는 고염지에서 생육된 수도가 저염지에서 생육된 수도보다 높은 경향을 나타냈다. 5. 각 처리구의 관근에 형성된 근모의 형성양상은 고염지에서 생육된 수도가 저염지에서 생육된 수도에 비하여 근모형성율이 낮고 또 근모장도 짧은 경향을 나타냈다.

It has been ascertained by a few researchers that soil conditions under which the rice plants were cultivated have some effects upon the root formation of the rice plants. But, much is not known about the root formation of the rice plants cultivated in the saline paddy fields. The goal of the present investigation is to study morphological effects of the soil salinity on the development of the rice root system. The following results were obtained: 1. Under the conditions of higher soil salinity, root systems developed well at surface soil, however, root systems developed well and distributed evenly through surface and sub-soil at the saline fields where soil salinity was lower. 2. The rice plants cultivated in the higher soil salinity form less crown roots than the rice plants which cultivated at the lower soil salinity. 3. As for the formation of the stunted roots, it was found out that relatively rice plant cultivated in higher soil salinity forms more stunted roots than the rice plants cultivated in lower soil salinity. 4. The crown root cultivated in the higher soil salinity forms more lateral roots per unit langth than the root cultivated in lower soil salinity. 5. As for the root hair formation, the crown root cultivated in higher soil salinity bears less haired epidermis and shorter root hairs than the root cultivated in lower soil salinity.
