Effects of Gibberellin and Atonic Acid on Growth and Fiber Yield of Ramie Plant

식물생장조절자의 처리가 모시풀의 생육 및 섬유수량에 미치는 영향

An experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of plant growth regulators on the growth and fiber yield of ramie. Gibberellin (GA) and Atonic acid were applied at the various levels of application dates, application frequencies and concentration. Stem growth of ramie increased greatly by applying GA on the meristem of shoot apex. Among three treatments of application frequencies of GA, that is, one time application at the stage of stem length with 50cm, twice applications at the stem length of 50cm and 100cm, and three times applications at stem length of 50cm, 100cm and 150cm, stem growth increased more as application frequency increased. GA application is more effective on stem growth at the later stage of growth than the earlier growth stage. GA treatment of 100 to 300 ppm is more effective on stem elongation than 50 ppm, which was due on the elongation of internodes without increase in number of nodes. One time application of GA enhanced leaf growth more or less regardless of concentration, but GA was applied more frequently, leaf growth was inhibited more at higher concentration. Fiber yield was the highest at the treatment of three times application of GA with 100 ppm. This treatment also showed the highest percentage of fiber with 5.3%, which is much higher value compared with that of control treatment with 4.6%. Atonic acid was less effective on stem elongation than GA, but it also seemed to be effective on the enhancement of fiber development.

모시풀의 생장촉진을 위한 생장조절제의 적정 살포시기, 회수 및 농도를 알아보기 위한 시험결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 모시풀의 생장점에 Gibberellin을 살포하면 줄기의 신장에 효과가 켰으며 경장 50cm 때의 1회 살포에 비하여 경장 50및 100cm때의 2회, 50, 100 및 150cm 때의 3회로 살포회수가 많을수록 그 신장도가 켰으며 생육초기보다 후기살포가 더욱 효과적이었다. 2. Gibberellin 농도는 50ppm 보다는 100～300ppm액 살포에서 줄기의 신장이 뚜렷하였으며, 이는 절간장의 신장에서 연유되었고, 절수의 증가는 거의 없었다. 3. 어느 농도에서나 1회 살포의 경우는 엽의 생장도 다소 좋아지는 경향이나, 2회, 3회로 살포회수가 많고 농도가 높을수록 오히려 엽의 생장에 저해를 받는듯 하였다. 4. 섬유수량은 Gibberellin 100ppm 3회 살포의 경우 가장 다수였으며 섬유비율에 있어서도 무처리구의 4.6%에 비하여 5.3%로서 가장 높았다. 5. Atonic은 모시풀의 줄기신장 효과가 Gibberellin에 미치지 못하였으며, 생장조절제 처리는 모시풀의 인피섬유의 발달에도 효과가 있는 것으로 생각되었다.
