기계적 자극은 식물체의 형태적 변화를 유도하는 것으로 알 려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 기계적 자극을 적용한 토마토의 육 묘기 동안의 생육 변화를 확인하기 위해 수행되었다. 브러싱 처리가 기계적 자극으로 이용되었으며, 아크릴이 부착된 이 송장치를 이용하여 2시간 간격으로 파종 후 10일 이후부터 처 리를 진행하였다. 브러싱 처리 동안 생육 변화를 확인하기 위 해 3일 간격으로 생육을 조사하였다. 초장과 엽면적은 브러싱 처리에서 대조구에 비해 감소하는 결과를 보였으며 지상부의 생체중과 건물중은 대조구와 유사한 값을 보였다. 총 근장과 지하부 표면적은 브러싱 처리에서 대조구에 비해 증가하였으며, 지하부 부피는 대조구와 브러싱 처리가 유사한 값을 보였 다. 결론적으로 토마토 공정묘에 브러싱 처리는 지상부의 생 육 감소를 유도하였으며 지하부의 형태적 발달을 증가시키는 것으로 판단된다.

Chinese cabbage or pakchoi (Brassica Rapa subsp. Chinensis) is one of the most popular vegetables in Korea. It is grown and consumed throughout the year because it has many benefits. This study reports on the growth performance of pakchoi grown in the hydroponic system using a Food Juke Box (FJB) under different light compositions. The chlorophyll content (CC), root fresh weight (RFW), and shoot fresh weight (SFW) were measured. Further, various vegetation indices (VIs), such as modified chlorophyll absorption in reflectance index (MCARI1), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), optimized soil-adjusted vegetation index (OSAVI), and structure insensitive pigment index (SIPI), were employed to predict SFW. The study results indicated a significant increase in the CC of pakchoi with different light treatments compared with the control. The CC was highest under treatment with 70% white light, 20% blue light, and 10% red light (T1) than under treatment with 50% white light, 30% blue light, and 20% red light (T2). All used VIs showed significant differences with different light combination treatments. There was no significant change in RFW and SFW between the control and T1. However, a significant reduction in RFW and SFW was observed in T2 compared with the control. A comparison between T1 and T2 demonstrated that RFW and SFW were increased by 23% and 25%, respectively, compared with those in T2. The correlation result showed that SFW had a significant positive correlation with RFW (0.76***). Further, a significant negative correlation was observed with OSAVI (−0.25*), MCARI1 (−0.54***), and CC (−0.19*). In conclusion, our findings implied that different light combinations in pakchoi affected the photosynthetic pigments although they did not improve SFW. This research will pave the way for pakchoi production in hydroponics using smart farming FJB. This will further promote plant development, especially for domestic consumption, and help fulfill the growing demand for leafy vegetables.

저온기의 딸기 재배를 위한 기초자료를 얻기 위하여 '아키히메(章姬)'품종을 재료로 딸기의 뿌리 발달에 미치는 저온의 영향과 지하부의 온도와 관련된 지상부의 생육을 조사하였다. 18℃의 근온처리구에서 1차근의 생육이 가장 양호하였으며 8℃의 저온에서 뿌리의 신장률이 가장 낮았으며, 특히 측근의 수와 길이가 가장 저조하였다. 근부의 온도는 지상부의 생육에도 직접적인 영향을 미쳐서, 낮은 근권 온도에서는 지상부의 생체중, 엽면적, 엽장, 엽폭 및 엽수의 저하를 초래하였다. 본 실험의 결과는 지하부 온도관리의 중요성을 확인할 수 있는 것으로 딸기 촉성재배농가에 유용한 정보로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

돌나물의 가을 삽목번식을 위한 적정 삽목용토와 삽목시기를 조사하기 위하여, 농가에서 손쉽게 구할 수 있는 밭흙, 강모래와 훈탄을 혼합한 삽목용토의 효과를 조사하였다. 밭흙과 모래를 1:1 또는 2:1(v/v)로 혼합하여 사용하는 것이 활착, 지상부 생육 및 뿌리발달이 양호하여 경제적이었다. 선발된 삽목용토(밭흙:모래=2:1) 를 이용하여 10~5cm 간격으로 가을 노지삽목을 실시한 결과, 9월 초중순에 하는 것이 뿌리 및 지상부 생육이 양호하고, 월동전 충분한 rosette를 확보 할 수 있어 안정적이었다. 따라서 가을 노지삽목 한계기는 9월 20일로서, 삽목시기가 늦을 경우, 이듬해 봄철 적정 수량을 확보를 위하여 삽수의 수량을 25-30% 늘려 밀식재배하는 것이 바람직하다.

Slow seedling growth rate and nodulation failure of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) has been limited its good establishment to pastures. The experiment was done to determine the effect of removal of cotyledon and unifoliolate on the shoot, root growth,

This experiment was to study the relationship between shoot and root system in perennial ryegrass at different stages of growth. The results are summarized as follows; 1. The dry weight of shoot was significantly correlated with the dry weight of root at

This study was carried out to have the basic and applied information to develop the cultivation methods and models and to increase the productivity of high-quality ginseng. Plant height was dramatically increased from one year old to four years old, and then it was grown up very slowly. Stem length was shown similar tendency as the plant height did. Its range were from 9.4 cm in one year old to about 42.4 cm in four year-old ginseng. The leaf area was clearly increased until four years old, 10.1cm2 in one year old to 204.9cm2 in four years old, while it was slightly increased after four years old. Root length was continuously increased from one year old until four years old, and then it was grown up very slowly. Tap root length which was measured was appeared about 8 cm from three years old to six years old, showing not much different among the year-olds. The root diameter was continuously increased from one year old to six year-old ginseng, about 2.9 mm and about 19 mm, respectively. The moisture content was higher on the shoot than that on the root. It was slightly decreased as they were getting old. In shoot part, the rate of leaves and stems based on dry weight was about 1 : 1. In the root, the dry weight of tap root was heavier than that of lateral root. The dry weight of shoot was decreased after four years old, while it of the root was continuously increased until six years old, resulting the production of ginseng root. Based on the results of this study, growth characteristics of shoot and root of ginseng were dramatically increased from one year old to four years old and then their growths were appeared different between shoot and root, showing not much growing in shoot and keep growing in root.

Root and shoot development of two rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars with different genetic backgrounds was studied with reference to their relative growth. Tongil type (indica-japonica hybrid) cultivar 'Kuemkangbyeo' and japonica cultivar 'Koshihikari' were grown in 5000-1 a Wagnar pots under flooded condition. Three plants with roots of both cultivars were taken in every phyllochron through the heading stage to record morphological characteristics of shoot and root system. Compared to Koshihikari, Kuemkangbyeo produced more tillers and had greater shoot weight and leaf area per hill. Length and weight of the root system in both cultivars increased exponentially with time. At the same time, root system development was significantly faster in Kuemkangbyeo than in Koshihikari after the panicle initiation stage. As a result, Kuemkangbyeo has a vigorous root system which consists of larger number of nodal roots compared to Koshihikari. Also, the root length and weight per unit leaf area of Kuemkangbyeo were larger than those of Koshihikari in the later half of growing period, which suggests possible higher physiological activity of the root system of Kuemkangbyeo which is known as a high-yielding cultivar. The relationship between root traits (crown root number, total root length, and root dry weight) and shoot traits (leaf area and leaf+culm dry weight) in both cultivars closely showed allometry until the flag leaf stage.

The toxic effects of aluminium (Al) on growth, chlorophyll content, δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) activity and anatomy of root and shoot were investigated in 7-day-old azuki bean (Vigna angularis) seedlings. Significant depressions in root elongation was observed in the low concentrations of Al (50, 100 ㎛) and increasing Al concentrations caused a sharp decline of root and shoot growth. The degree of inhibition was dependent upon Al supply. Exposure to 50 ㎛ Al or more inhibited root elongation within 1 day. In the 50 ㎛ Al treatments, a recovery of root growth was seen after 7 days exposure. In contrast, lateral root initials was little affected by Al exposure. Al toxicity symptoms and growth responses were more well developed in the roots than in the shoots. Analysis of Al localization in root cells by hematoxylin staining showed that Al entered root apices and accumulated in the epidermal and cortical cells immeadiately below the epidermis. There was a good positive correlation between the level of chlorophyll and ALAD activity. Increasing Al concentrations caused a decrease in total chlorophyll contents, accompanied by proportional changes in ALAD activity, suggesting a coordinated reduction of a photosynthetic machinery. Al exerted specific influence on the morphology of root and shoot. At higher concentrations of Al the roots induced drastic anatomical changes. The epidermal cells were disorganized or destructed while the cortical cells exhibited distortion of cell shape and/or disintegration. The diameter of root and transectional area of cortical cells decreased considerably with Al treatment. In the shoot Al also enhanced reduction of diameter of shoot and cell size. Gross anatomy of leaves treated with Al did not differ significantly from the controls, except for fewer and smaller chloroplast. Our results indicate that toxic effect of Al appear to be manifested primarily in roots and secondarily on shoots, and changes in root morphology are related to changes in the root growth patterns. Results are further discussed in relation to the findings in other plant species, and it is concluded that Al causes morphological, structural and, presumably, functional damage to the roots of the species investigated.
