A complete diallel cross was performed to determine the inheritance of allelopathic potential and combining ability of six rice germplasm that showed different level of allelopathic potential against barnyardgrass. Parents and F1 of 30 crosses were assessed for allelophatic potential in field condition. Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv. var. frumentaceae) was used for rice allelopathic potential indicator which was observed in height and shoot dry weight, then suppression percentage were calculated by comparing to barnyardgrass grown in control plot (no rice). It was found that general combining ability showed no significant effect, whereas specific combining ability and reciprocal effect were significant. Variance analysis confirmed that genetic control of allelopathic potential in rice against barnyardgrass was mostly directed by dominance gene effect. The dominant genes were associated with high allelopathic potential and recessive genes were associated with low allelopathic potential. Heritability in broad sense for barnyardgrass dry weight suppression was around 41%; whereas for barnyardgrass height suppression was 51%. However, heritability in narrow sense was very low. The finding suggests that accumulation of genes associated with allelopathic potential would be a strategy to develop promising varieties in reference with the specific combining ability of cross combinations.

This study was conducted to assess the allelopathic potentiality of Korea traditional seventy-nine rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars on barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli P. Beauv. var. oryzicola Ohwi) and to identify possible allelopathic compounds from selected rice cultivars, such as Seogandodobyeo, Huadobyeo and Heugbalbyeo. In the straw mixture, Seogandodobyeo showed the greatest inhibition (67.07%) on total emergence percentage. The greatest inhibition on total seedling length and dry weight of barnyardgrass occurred in Huadobyeo (58.32 %) and Heugbalbyeo (81.20%), respectively. An HPLC analysis with nine standard compounds showed that the concentrations and compositions of allelopathic compound depend upon the cultivars. Four compounds including Ο-coumaric acid in Seogandodobyeo extracts, four compounds including p-coumaric acid in Huadobyeo extracts, and seven compounds including Ο-coumaric acid in Heugbalbyeo were detected, respectively. Ο-coumaric acid (0.97 mg/g) in Seogandodobyeo, p-coumaric acid (0.92mg/g) in Huadobyeo and Ο-coumaric acid (1.02 mg/g) in Heugbalbyeo was detected as the highest amounts, respectively. The preliminary identification by HPLC analysis resulted in peaks with retention times close to those of standards which were confirmed with EI/MS. The mass spectra of p-coumaric, and Ο-coumaric acids showed molecular ions (m/z) at 164 and 164, and their base peaks (m/z) at 164 and 118, respectively.

본 실험은 온실과 포장에서 재배한 알팔파를 잎, 줄기, 뿌리, 꽃 부분으로 나누어 수확, 건조,하여 물 추출한 후 이 추출물들이 알팔파 발아와 생육에 미치는 영향을 조사 비교하였으며 포장상태에서 자란 알팔파 지상부 전체를 수확,건조, 추출하여 이를 농도별로 처리 알팔파 발아율을 검정하였고, pot실험을 통하여 알팔파 품종간 biomass 분배율 검정과, 알팔파 autotoxicity를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 추출물을 adsorbent로 처리하여 이들이 알팔파 독성성분을 변형시키는지를 검토하였다. 1. 온실과 포장에서 자란 알팔파의 추출물로 알팔파 발아 및 생육에 대한 영향을 비교한 결과 포장에서 자란 추출물질이 발아와 생육에 더 억제적으로 작용하였고, 특히 포장에서 생육한 꽃 추출물 처리가 가장 억제적으로 작용하였다. 2. 농도처리에 따르는 추출물 처리는 농도가 증가 할수록 발아율이 억제되었고, biomass분배율에 대한 pot실험에서는 LWR 과 SLA의 산물인 LAR은 품종간 유의성을 보였다. 3. 알팔파 추출물에 대한 absorbents처리는 추출물의 독성을 변형시키지 못하였다.
