Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the dwarfing effect in variable temperature treatments on 1-year-old and 3-year-old Chloranthus glaber. The plants grown in four difference growth chamber under a mean light intensity $500{\pm}20$ lux, RH of $40{\pm}5%$, and temperature of $5^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, and $20^{\circ}C$ for 120 days from January 3, 2011. And then they were moved into a glass house (50% shading). In 1-year-old seedlings, the rate of plant height elongation was lowest at $5^{\circ}C$, but plant growth was not good. The number of leaves and leaf width were highly increased by $10^{\circ}C$ treatment although the plant height was slightly increased. Also the plant height of $15^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ was decreased and defoliation was started from the bottom leaves. Thus, $10^{\circ}C$ treatment was thought to be the most appropriate for dwarfing effect of 1-year-old seedlings. In 3-year-old seedlings, the plant height tended to increase with temperature, and growth pattern showed a similar trend between $5^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. The number of leaves increased the most at $5^{\circ}C$. Lateral branches per node were mainly occurred at $5^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$, whereas they almost didn't happen at $15^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. Flowering rate at $5^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$ reached more than 90% and 60%, respectively, but it was too low at $15^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ until the end of August. From these results, it could improve plant quality of 1-year-old and 3-year-old Chloranthus glaber making compact potted plants when temperatures were maintained at $10^{\circ}C$ and $5^{\circ}C$, respectively.
온도에 따른 왜화효과를 알아보기 위해 죽절초 1년생과 3년생 각각을 2011년 1월 3일부터 광도 $500{\pm}20$ lux, 상대습도가 $40{\pm}5$%로 유지되는 $5^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$의 생육상에 약 120일간 처리한 후 즉시 유리온실(50% 차광)에 입실시켜 60일 동안 계속 재배하였다. 그 결과 죽절초 1년생은 $5^{\circ}C$ 처리에서 초장 증가율이 가장 낮아 왜화에 효과가 있었지만, 생육상태는 양호하지 않았다. $10^{\circ}C$ 처리의 초장은 약간 신장 하였지만, 엽수와 엽폭이 가장 많이 증가되어 미관상 생육이 가장 양호하였다. $15^{\circ}C$와 $20^{\circ}C$ 처리는 초장이 오히려 감소되고 하엽이 지는 등 생육이 좋지 않았다. 따라서, 죽절초 1년생의 소형화를 위해서는 $10^{\circ}C$가 가장 적정한 온도로 생각된다. 3년생 죽절초의 초장은 처리온도가 높을수록 증가하였고, 초장 신장률은 $5^{\circ}C$와 $10^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$와 $20^{\circ}C$ 처리구가 서로 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 엽수는 $5^{\circ}C$에서 가장 많이 증가하였다. 한 마디당 측지도 $5^{\circ}C$와 $10^{\circ}C$는 많이 발생한데 비해 $15^{\circ}C$와 $20^{\circ}C$는 거의 발생하지 않았다. 또한 $5^{\circ}C$와 $10^{\circ}C$ 처리구는 8월말까지 각각 약 90%와 60% 이상 개화 되었지만 $15^{\circ}C$와 $20^{\circ}C$는 거의 개화되지 않았다. 위 결과로 보아 1년생과 3년생 죽절초를 소형분화로 상품화하기 위한 왜화 온도는 각각 $10^{\circ}C$와 $5^{\circ}C$가 가장 적정한 것으로 판단된다.
