Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate germination rate of Vicia tetrasperma and V. hirsuta as affected by storage duration, temperature, and light. All seeds of both species were gathered from Dangjin, Chungnam in the late June of 2004 and 2005, stored for a certain period of time, and then exposed for 20 days to the alternating temperatures ($15/^{\circ}C,\;20/10^{\circ}C,\;25/15^{\circ}C$, and $30/20^{\circ}C$) for evaluating the germination rate. Both 2004 and 2005, two species stored at room temperature for 3 months had germination rates less then 30% with applying various alternating temperatures for 20 days although the highest germination rate was obtained with $25/15^{\circ}C$ treatment. V. tetrasperma at 12 month storage after seed gathering in 2005 had 82% of germination rate with $25/15^{\circ}C$ treatment and showed the increased rate as time passed. V. hirsuta at 6, 9, and 12 month storage after seed gathering in 2005 ranged, however, from 33 to 53% of the germination rate at alternating temperature treatments for 20 days and did not seem to be affected by the elapsed time of the storage. Storage at room temperature was more effective for increasing germination rate of both species compared to those of the storage at low temperature. The germination rate of both species was not significantly affected by either exposure of light or short period of high temperature.
자생잡초인 얼치기완두와 새완두를 피복식물로 이용하기 위해 이들 종자의 저장기간 및 방법, 온도 및 광조건이 발아율에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위한 시험을 수행하였다. 2004년과 2005년 6월에 충청남도 당진에서 채종하여 일정기간 상온에서 저장한 종자를 $15/5^{\circ}C$, $20/10^{\circ}C$, $25/15^{\circ}C$, $30/20^{\circ}C$(주/야) 조건에서 발아율을 조사하였다. 2004년과 2005년에 얼치기 완두와 새완두 모두 채종후 3개월 동안 상온에서 저장한 후의 발아율은 30% 이하로 낮게 나타났다. 2005년에 채종되어 12개월 상온저장 후 $25/15^{\circ}C$로 처리한 얼치기완두는 82%의 높은 발아율을 보였으며, 시간이 경과함에 따라서 발아율이 증가하는 양상을 나타내었다. 반면에 새완두는 채종 6, 9, 12개월 후에 33%에서 53%의 발아율을 보여 저장기간이 발아율에 별다른 영향을 미치지 않았다. 얼치기완두와 새완두 종자는 저온보다는 상온에서 저장하는 것이 효과적이었으며, 광이나 고온처리가 발아에 영향을 미치지는 않았다.
