Studies on the Drought-Resistance of Major Food Crops II. Effect of Water Stress on the Activity of Nitrate Reductase and Protease, and the Accumulation of Free Proline in Barley and Wheat at Seedling Stage

주요작물의 한발저항성에 관한 연구 제2보 맥류 유묘기의 수분부족이 질산환원효소 및 단백질 분해효소의 활성변화와 유리 Proline의 축적에 미치는 영향

In order to observe the degree and response of drought-resistance and its physiological mechanism in barley and wheat seedling stage, 5 species (16 cultivars) were tested for the changes of nitrate reductase and protease activity and the accumulation of free proline, by being subjected to water stress by withholding watering for 8 days at 10 days (at the 3rd leaf stage) after emergence and by imposing water stress to the excised first leaf by polyethyleneglycol solution (osmotic potential, -20 bars) for 48 hours. The average rate of decrease of all cultivars was 42% in nitrate reductase activity and 73% in protease activity. But proline content in water stress was increased 10 folds more than that of control. The decrease4 rate of nitrate reductase activity in 5 species was in the order of wheat < rye < covered barley < naked barley < two-row barley: wheat being the lowest. The decreased rate of protease activity in 5 species was in the order of wheat > rye > two-row barley > covered barley > naked barley: wheat being the" heighest. The accumulated amount of free proline in 5 species by water stress was in the order of wheat > covered barley > rye > naked barley > two-row barley. And the increased ratio (folds) of free proline of water stress to control was in the order of rye(13) > wheat. covered barley(11) > naked barley(99) > two-row barley(7): rye being the highest. In terms of the enzymatic activity and the physiotically adaptive metabolism during the processing leading to drought-resistance, the degree of drought-resistance of 5 species to water stress at seedling stage was shown to be in the order of wheat > rye > covered barley > naked barley > two-row barley.

맥류의 한발저항성 반응과 정도 그리고 저항생리적 기작을 구명하기 위하여 발아후 10일된 유묘기(본엽 3매시)에 8일간 단수처리를 하여 질산환원효소와 단백질분해효소의 활성변화 그리고 proline축적을 조사하였던 바 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 전품종의 평균 감소율은 질산환원효소의 활성이 42%이였으며 단백질분해효소의 활성은 73%였으며, 이에 반하여 proline은 대조구에 비하여 단수구가 무려 10배나 증가하였다. 2. 질산환원효소의 활성감소율을 맥종별로 보면 소맥 < 호맥 < 대맥 < 2조대맥ㆍ과맥의 순으로 소맥이 가장 낮았다. 3. 단백질분해효소의 활성감소율을 맥종별로 보면 소맥 < 호맥 < 이조대맥 < 대맥 < 과맥의 순으로 소맥이 높고 과맥이 가장 낮았다. 4. 단수구의 proline의 축적색대량을 맥종별로 보면 소맥 < 대맥 < 호맥 < 과맥 < 이조대맥의 순으로 소맥과 대맥이 높았으며, 대조구에 대한 단수구의 증가비는 호맥(13배) > 소맥ㆍ대맥(11배) > 과맥(9배) > 이조대맥(7배)의 순으로 호맥이 가장 높았다. 5. 한발저항성 과정에서 효소적 및 생리적 대사작용의 관점에서 볼 때 소맥 > 호맥 > 대맥 > 과맥 > 이조대맥의 순으로 한발저항성이 강한 것으로 추정된다.
