Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of light condition before and after chilling treatment started at different times of a day on the survival and physiological responses of cucumber seedlings grown in a greenhouse. Percent survival of cucumber seedling exposed to a chilling temperature of 2$^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours varied considerably depending upon the initiation time of chilling treatment. Seedlings exposed to chilling treatment from 7:00 o clock, the end of a dark period, showed considerably lower % survival of 30.6% as compared to 90.2% in those exposed to the same treatment starting from 18:00 o clock, the end of a photoperiod. This difference in % survival was found to be closely associated with content of photosynthetic assimilates in seedlings. Relative amount of electrolyte leakage was 57.1% in seedlings chilled from 7:00 o clock and 25.9% in seedlings chilled from 18:00 o clock. Among the ions found in the electrolyte leakage, content of $K^{+}$ was the greatest, followed by that of N $a^{+}$, $Mg^{+}$ and $Ca^{+2}$. Light illumination for 2 hours or longer shortly before chilling treatment during the dark period was effective in increasing % survival of seedlings, probably because of increased photosynthetic assimilates in seedlings. Light illumination during a 48 hour chilling treatment at 3$^{\circ}C$ significantly reduced % survival to 43.3% as compared to 92.0% in seedlings kept continuously in darkness.ess.s.

겨울철 시설내에서 정전 등으로 인하여 수시간 동안 작물체가 생육한계 온도로 경과시 오이묘에 나타나는 피해와 피해발생의 생리적 요인 및 피해 경감대책을 구명하기 위하여 저온처리 전후의 광환경 조건이 오이 묘의 생존율 및 생육반응에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 냉온처리(2$^{\circ}C$, 48시간)에 따른 오이묘의 생존율은 암기말인 07:00시 처리에서 30.6%이었고, 암기 개시기인 18:00시 처리에서는 92.2%로 높았다. 세포의 전해질 누출은 07:00시 처리에서(72시간) 57.1%, 18:00시 처리에서는 25.9%로 낮았다. 누출액중 무기이온 함량은 $K^{+}$ 이온이 가장 많았고, $Na^{+}$, $Mg^{+2}$ , $Ca^{+2}$ 순으로 적었다. 냉온처리전 야간에 광을 조사하면 생존율이 광 무처리에 비해 56% 더 높아졌으며, 광조사는 2시간 처리로 충분한 효과가 있었다. 광 조사에 의하여 생존율이 높아지는 것은 광합성에 의한 당함량의 증가 때문인 것으로 해석 되었다. 냉온처리(3$^{\circ}C$, 48시간) 기간중 광을 조사하면, 생존율이 43.3%로 낮아진 반면, 암조건에두면 92%로 높았다.
