Abstract

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum M. cv. ‘Momotarou’) and hot pepper seedlings (Capsicum annuum L. cv. 'Nockkwang')were grown under the 24h photopeliod (12 hrs light period: 12 hrs dark period) and 6 h photoperiod (3 hrs light period: 3hrs dark period). As a result of this experiment, the following details were observed. Plant height, leaf area, total dry weight, and leaf chlorophyll content decreased in case of tomato seedlings when they were given 6 h photoperiod. But the same effect was not observed in case of hot pepper seedlings. The photoperiod, however, did not produce any significant effect on the uptake of N, P, K, Mg and Ca ions in their nutrient solutions with the exception of their Fe. On thc 10th day of treatment, leaf chlorosis started to become visible in tomato seedlings and at the same time the uptake of Fe went down when the 6h photoperiod was applied to both tomato and hot pepper scedlings. In addition to this phenomenon, the sucrose content in leaf increased in case of tomato plants which were treated with 6 h photoperiod; on the other hand, their glucose content was observed to have decreased.

주야온 25/20$^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 70%로 조절된 생육상내에서 명기 시간과 암기 시간의 비를 1 : 1 로 일정하게하고 광주기를 24h(명기 12시간 : 암기 12시간)와 6h(명기 3시간 : 암기 3시간)로 설정하여 토마토와 고 추 묘의 양분흡수 및 탄소대사 특성을 조사하였다. 토마토에서는 처리후 15일 6h에서 건물중, 초장, 엽면적, 엽록소함량 및 수분흡수량 감소와 함께 황화현상이 나타났으나, 고추에서는 6h에서 엽록소함량이 약간 낮았을 뿐 처리간 생장 차이는 없었다. 전체 처리 기간을 통해 $NO_3$, P, K, Ca 및 Mg의 흡수량은 광 주기의 영향을 받지 않았으나, Fe의 흡수량은 두 작물 모두 처리후 10 일부터 6h가 24h에 비해 적었다. 이러한 경향은 엽록소함량이 가장 낮았던 처리후 15일과 토마토에서 현저하게 나타났다. 한편, 엽중 sucrose 함량은 토마토의 6h에서 높았으나 glucose는 24h에서 더 높았다. 본 실험 결과는 광주기 단축에 의한 엽중 엽록소함량 저하와 황화현상은 Fe 흡수량 부족 및 엽중 sucrose 축적과 관련이 있음을 시사해 주었다.
