고추의 16개(個) 도입계통(導入系統)에 대(對)해서 내건성(耐乾性)을 알기 위(爲)하여 발식(鉢植)한 고추를 단수처리(斷水處理)하고 일정기간후(一定期間後)에 엽(葉)의 WSD치(値)를 측정(測定)해서 내건성(耐乾性)을 평가(評價)하였으며 성숙엽(成熟葉)의 기공밀도(氣孔密度)를 조사(調査)하여 WSD치(値)와의 상관(相關)을 구(求)하였다. WSD치(値)로부터 내건성(耐乾性)이 강한 계통(系統)의 순위(順位)는 No.3446, C. chaconce, Gogoshari, 팔방(八房)이였다. 성숙엽(成熟葉)의 기공밀도(氣孔密度)와 WSD치(値)와의 상관(相關)(r=0.581)이 인정(認定)되었다.
Sixteen introductions of pepper (Capsicum annuum) were tested for drought resistance. Watering was stopped to the plants grown in perlite in pots to induce drought. After certain period of time, WSD value and stomatal density of mature leaves were measured for evaluation of drought resistance. A correlationship between WSD value and stomatal density was determined. On the basis of WSD value, the most drought-resistant varieties were No.3446, C. chacoence, Gogoshari, and Yatsufusa in a descending order and a significant positive correlation, r=0.581, between WSD value and stomatal density was observed.
