This study investigates the factors influencing the seed longevity of Quercus myrsinifolia, a species with recalcitrant seeds highly sensitive to desiccation and freezing. The effects of moisture content, seed collection date, and storage methods on seed viability were analyzed using exponential decay modeling. Interactions between these factors were also explored to refine conservation strategies. Seeds with moisture content above 40% demonstrated a predicted seed longevity of 2.19 years, whereas those with moisture content below 30% had seed longevity of less than 1 year. Late-season seeds collected in November and December exhibited superior germination percentages and longer predicted seed longevity (1.32 years) compared to early-season seeds collected in September and October (<1 year). In seed weight, large seeds (2.0 g) showed longer predicted seed longevity about 1.5 times greater than that of small seeds (<1.2g). Storage methods significantly affected seed longevity, with refrigerator (4°C) with silica gel maintaining viability for 2–3 years, while seeds stored at room temperature (25°C) exhibited a seed longevity of less than 1 year. Silica gel was found to prevent seed deterioration due to over-desiccation, emphasizing the importance of balanced moisture regulation. Q. myrsinifolia seeds exhibited 𝑏 values ranging from 0.30 to 2.04, demonstrating a close relationship between decay constant, moisture content, storage conditions, and seed longevity. These findings provide critical insights into optimizing seed storage and propagation strategies for Q. myrsinifolia, contributing to its conservation and ecological restoration efforts.
국내 수박(Citrullus lanatus) 품종의 발아율에 대한 Solid Matrix Priming(SMP)의 영향을 평가하였다. Micro cel-E가 SMP 처리에 가장 이상적인 matrix로 밝혀졌으며, 종자:matix:물의 비율은 10:5:10(w/w/w)로, 25°C 에서 3일 동안 처리했을 때 유근의 돌출없이 발아속도가 촉진되었다. SMP 처리 과정 동안 초기 4시간 동안의 수분 흡수율은 급격하게 증가했으며, 이후 72시간 동안은 더 느린 속도로 흡수되었고, 처리 마지막 시간까지 수분 흡수 율은 41%이었다. 발아 온도와 상관없이, SMP 처리된 종자는 발아 시간이 단축되면서 발아율이 향상되었다. 특히, 최적 발아 온도보다 낮은 온도에서 발아율이 높았다. 품종별 차이는 있었으나, 특히 ‘해찬꿀’과 ‘리코스위트’ 품종 에서 발아율이 유의미하게 증가하였다. 또한 일부 품종에서 SMP 처리 종자의 유묘출현율과 초장, 생체중이 무처 리에 비하여 증가한 값을 보였으며, SMP 처리로 종자의 발아속도 및 유묘활력을 증진시켜 우량 묘 확보가 가능한 것으로 판단되었다.
Background : In this study, We will compare germination rate for each bed soil moisture content and find optimal seed germination on bed soil condition. This study was carried out germination efficiency related percent germination, germination energy, mean germination time and germination seed treated bed soil moisture content by volume on dehisced Korean ginseng seeds.
Methods and Results : This study was used for conventional seeds of dehisced Korean ginseng seeds. In order to bed soil moisture treatment, We was dried on the soil until 1.5% moisture content and treated 12 different bed soil, soil 100 g volume up water 10 ㎖ for 10% soil moisture content, that contain moisture content (1.5 - 59.66%) at intervals 5 - 10% moisture content in Wagner ports. For bed soil moisture content test, We was sowed 61 Korean ginseng seeds each port on 18-May. In order to maintain the moisture content, The top of the port was covered with vinyl for blocked from the outside air. After sowing seeds, We was examined the germination rate, germination strength (GS), mean days per germination (MDG), and germination speed (GR) at every two days. Our results showed that germination rate was 94.5% at 47.07% moisture content. It had over 90 percent germination rate from 40.90 to 59.96% moisture content. High germination rate treatments also was higher with another traits such as germination strength (GS), mean days per germination (MDG), and germination speed (GR).
Conclusion : The germination rate is very important in Korean ginseng cultivation of direct sowing. The soil moisture content is one of the most important environment related germination rate of ginseng seeds. According to our result, 40.90 to 59.96% bed soil moisture content had over 90 percent germination rate. These finding could be used to increase high germination rate, is required to proper irrigation. We will need to proper moisture content to increase high germination rate not only bed soil but also soil.
전보 10)의 경과 품종, 종자숙도의 차이에 따라 중배축 신장성 정도가 다르게 나타난 것이 유전 또는 생리적 특성의 차에 기인한 것인지를 구명하기 위해 수행하였던 바 실험결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 습윤.고온처리에 의한 중배축 신장 효과는 처리구가 무처리구보다도 7배 이상 크게 신장하여 그 효과가 현저하였다. 2. 토양수분 함량에 따른 중배신장은 수분함량 8%구에서 최고치를, 16%구에서 최저치를 나타내 토양수분함량이 높을수록 작아지는 경향이었다. 3. 식물 Hormone중 중배축신장 효과는 cis-ABA 처리구가 GA3 , IAA 및 Kinetin 처리구보다도 그 효과가 현저하게 컸다. 4. 중배신장과 분리근장과는 어떠 뚜렷한 경향을 찾을 수 없었으나 중배축장과 분리근의 건물중간에는 중배축장이 클수록 건근중이 크게 나타났다.
