수도품종의 내냉성 관련인자로서, 생체막 구성물질로서 중요한 역활을하는 phospholipid의 지방산조성과 지방산 불포화비율, 생체의 가장 중요한 대사과정의 하나인 호흡에 관련된 특성인 mitochondria의 호흡활성, 광합성된 엽록소 형광강도 등 여러가지 생리적 인자들과 내냉성과의 관계를 검토하고 내냉성 품종선발과 냉해를 경감시킬 수 있는 방법을 모색하고자 관련자료를 종합정리하였다. 1. 지방산의 불포화비율은 저온처리를 함으로서 높아지는 경향을 보였으며, 내냉성정도와 비교하여 볼 때 내냉성이 강한 품종에서 불포화비율이 높고 약한 품종에서 낮아 내냉성 정도와 일치하는 경향이었다. 2. 경화처리에 의하여 인지질의 지방산조성중 palmitic acid는 감소하고 linolenic acid의 함량은 증가되었으며 지방산 불포화비율이 대조구에 비하여 19~24% 증가되어 내냉성을 증가시킨 것으로 생각되었다. 3. 수도 백화묘(25℃ 암상태 2주간 생육) 및 야외에서 생육시킨 유묘에서 분리한 mitochondria의 호흡활성 전이온도와 내냉성 정도와의 관계를 보면 내냉성이 강한 품종에서 전이온도가 낮았고, 약한 품종에서는 높은 경향이었다. 4. 생육시기별 mitochondria의 호흡활성 전이온도는 상풍벼 11.5~12.5℃ , 풍산벼 15.0~l6.0℃ , 샛별벼 17.0~l8.0℃ 로서 큰 차이가 없었으나 내냉성 강, 중, 약 정도간에는 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 5. 엽록소 형광강도와 내냉성 정도와의 관계는 내냉성이 강한 품종에서 형광강도가 높고 약한 품종에서 낮은 경향을 보였으며 높은 산관관계를 보였다. 6. Mn을 엽면시용하므로서 호흡활성 전이온도를 0~2℃ 낮추었으며 토양처리를 하였을 때 내냉성이 약한 품종에서 효과가 켰다 7 내냉성 정도와 인지질 지방산불포화도, 호흡활성 전이온도 및 엽록소 형광과의 관계에서 대체적으로 이들 세 인자와는 높은 상관을 보였으나 그중에는 독특한 반응을 보인 품종들도 있었으며, 호흡활성 전이온도는 지방용 불포화비율과는 부의 관계를, 엽록소형광과 지방산 불포화비율과는 정의 상관관계를 보였다.
Cold stress influence plant growth through a wide range of growth characters. Adverse effects of low temperature to plant growth come from results of colligative and complex physiological responses to cold stress. To evaluate more exactly cold tolerance of crop plant, it is needed to observe physiological changes induced by cold stress and to analyze relationships between intraspecific variations in physiological factors related to cold tolerance and the extent of cold tolerance in the field. Therefore, the composition and unsaturation ratio of fatty acids in phospholipid, a constituent of membrane, the transition-temperature in respiratory activity of mitochodria, the chlorophyll fluorescence as a factor related to photosynthesis were investigated in rice plant and data on these factors were compared with the degree of cold tolerance obtained in the field experiment. Also, effects of hardening and Mn++ treatment were evaluated as a method to reduce chilling injuries. The unsaturation ratio of fatty acids, whether rice plants were grown in a natural condition or under the chilling stress, was higher in the cold- tolerant varieties and was significantly correlated with the degree of cold tolerance (1-9) observed in the field experiment. And it was also increased by chilling treatment or hardening treatment, due to a reduction in palmitic acid content and an increase in linolenic acid content. The transition-temperature of respiratory activity of mitochodria isolated from etiolated rice seedlings (25~circC , two week-grown in the dark), was correlated with the degree of cold tolerance in the field, cold -tolerant varieties showing a lower transition-temperature. It was not influenced by growth stages. The intensity of chlorophyll fluorescence was highly correlated with the degree of cold tolerance, cold-tolerant varieties having a higher fluorescence intensity. By foliar application of Mn, the transition-temperature of respiratory activity was lowered as much as 0-2~circC in all tested varieties. Soil application of Mn induced more significant effect in cold-susceptible varieties with a possibility of reducing chilling injuries. On the whole, there were high correlationships among the degree of cold tolerance, the unsaturation ratio of fatty acids in phospholipid, the transition- temperature of respiratory activity and chlorophyll fluorescence except for a few varieties. The transition- temperature of respiratory activity appeared to be negatively correlated with the unsaturation ratio of fatty acids. and the chlorophyll fluorescence to be positively correlated with the unsaturation ratio. This implies that these physical and physiological factors were very closely related to cold tolerance and can be used as an effective index of the evaluation of cold tolerance of crop plant. But other factors as well as three factors discussed above are needed to be considered colligatively and altogether with a systematic analysis for the more exact evaluation of cold tolerance. in rice cultivars. in rice cultivars.
