Comparative Study of Stomatal Density and Gas Diffusion Resistance in Leaves of Various Types of Rice
유형이 다른 품종들간에 기공밀도와 기체확산저항의 차이와 광합성 속도에 미치는 영향 등을 비교 검토한 바 일반적으로 Indica 품종의 기공밀도가 Japonica 품종보다 컸으나 기체확산은 작았다. Indica 품종과 Japonica 품종간의 교잡을 통하여 육성한 품종들의 기공밀도와 기체확산 저항은 중간가를 나타냈다. 기공밀도와 기체확산저항 광합성 속도 간에는 현저한 정의 상관을 보였지만 특수엽중과는 현저한 질의 상관을 보였고, 단엽면적과의 상관관계는 현저하지 않았다. Indica 품종과 Japonica품종간의 교잡을 통하여 Indica 품종의 기공밀도가 크고 기체확산저항이 낮은 특성과 Japonica 품종의 특수 엽중이 큰 특성을 결합할 수 있다면 광합성 속도를 더욱 높일 수 있으리라 추측된다.
Studies were made on differences among types and varieties of rice in stomatal density and gas diffusion resistance, and on the relationship between these traits and photosynthetic rate. Significant differences among types and varieties were found stomatal density and gas diffusion resistance. Generally, stomatal density was higher in indica varieties than in Japonica varieties, gas diffusion resistance was lower in the former than in the later, in varieties developed through indica-japonica hybridization it was intermadiate. The stomatal density was closely positively correlated with the gas conductivity and the net photosynthetic rate, was not correlated with single leaf area, and had significant negative correlation with specific leaf weight. Higher photosynthetic rate of indica varieties mainly results from its high stomatal density and low gas diffusion resistance. The result also suggested that high photosynthetic rate might be obtained if the high stomatal density and low gas diffusion resistance in indica could be combined with the larger specific leaf weight in japonica through crossing between two.
