수도(水稻) 품종(品種)의 냉해관련인자(冷害關聯因子) 특성(特性)에 의(依)한 내냉성(耐冷性) 평가(評價) I. 묘(苗)에 인지질(燐脂質)의 지방산(脂肪酸) 조성(組成)과 내냉성(耐冷性)

Composition and unsaturation ratio of fatty acids composing phospholipid which is the main constituent of biological membranes are known to be related to the response of plant to cold stress. In order to investigate a relationship between fatty acid unsaturation ratio of phospholipid and the range of cold tolerance of rice cultivars obtained in the field experiment, the lipid from the leaves of 32 rice cultivars were isolated and the fatty acid composition of phospholipid was determined by gas chromatography. In this experiment, composition and unsaturation ratio of fatty acids composing phopholipid on rice plants grown under natural condition and treated with chilling temperature were compared with the cold tolerance in the field for rice cultivars. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; 1. The phospholipids isolated from the leaves of 32 rice cultivars both grown under natural condition and chilling treatment contained palmitic, linoleic and linolenic acid as major components and palmitoleic, stearic and oleic acid as minor components. 2. The content of palmitic acid, a saturated fatty acid, was reduced in rice seedlings subjected to chilling treatment for 3 days at $15^{\circ}C$, and contents of linoleic and linolenic acid, unsaturated fatty acids, were increased. 3. The unsaturation ratio of fatty acid was increased by chilling treatment, and was high in cold-tolerant cultivars but low in cold-susceptible cultivars and the results were correlated with the range of cold tolerance investigated in the field. 4. The content of palmitic acids among fatty acids composing phospholipid was reduced and that of linolenic acid was increased by hardening treatment. 5. The unsaturation ratio of fatty acid was increased 18~24% by hardening treatment compared to control.

수도품종(水稻品種)의 내냉성관련인자(耐冷性關聯因子)로서 생체막구성물질(生體膜構成物質)에 중요(重要)한 역할(役割)을 하는 인지질(燐脂質)의 지방산조성(脂肪酸組成)과 지방산(脂肪酸)의 불포화비율(不飽和比率)을 증가(增加)시킬 수 있는 경화처리(硬化處理)에 의한 지방산(脂肪酸)의 변화(變化)를 조사(調査)하여 포장(圃場)에서 조사(調査)된 내냉성정도(耐冷性程度)와 비교검토(比較檢討)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. 수도(水稻) 32품종(品種)에서 분리(分離)한 인지질(燐脂質)의 지방조성(脂肪組成)은 Pamitic, Linoleic 및 Linolenic acid가 주(主) 지방산(脂肪酸)이었고, Palmitoleic, Stearic 및 Oleic acid가 소량(少量) 함유(含有)되어 있었다. 2. 저온처리(低溫處理)($15^{\circ}C$, 3일간)한 묘(苗)에서 포화지방산(飽和脂肪酸)인 Pamitic acid의 함량(含量)은 감소하고, 불포화지방산(不飽和脂肪酸)인 Linoleic acid의 함량(含量)은 증가하였다. 3. 지방산(脂肪酸)의 불포화비율(不飽和比率)은 저온처리(低溫處理)를 하므로써 높아졌으며, 내냉성(耐冷性)이 강(强)한 품종(品種)에서 비율(比率)이 높고, 약(弱)한 품종(品種)에서 낮아 내냉성정도(耐冷性程度)와 일치(一致)하는 경향을 보였다. 4. 경화처리(硬化處理)에 의하여 인지질지방산조성(燐脂質脂肪酸組成)중 Pamitic acid는 감소하고, Linoleic acid의 함량(含量)은 증가하였다. 5. 경화처리(硬化處理)를 하므로써 지방산(脂肪酸)의 불포화비율(不飽和比率)은 대조구(對照區)에 비하여 18~24% 증가되었다.
