Abstract

This research was carried out to investigate the germination and seedling growth characteristics of the halophyte Suaeda asparagoides under various salt concentrations, temperatures, and the presence or absence of light S. asparagoides has a non-endospermic dicotyledonous seed structure that is go stone-shaped with a dark brown color and covered by a star-shaped perianth. Germination within the temperature range $5{\sim}40^{\circ}C$ varied from 8% to 65%. The highest germination occurred at $15^{\circ}C$. In seeds exposed to salt concentrations in the range 0~400 mM, the highest germination occurred at 0 mM, and the germination progressively decreased as the salt concentration increased. When the perianth of the seed was removed, the germination increased significantly. In the presence or absence of light, germination under white light was 5~20% higher than that under darkness, which varied according to salt concentrations in the range 0~300 mM. The plant growth of S. asparagoides, evaluated by plant height, branch number, root length, fresh weight, and dry weight, was higher in the concentration range 50~100 mM, and it decreased in the other concentrations. In conclusion, the seeds of S. asparagoides showed higher germination in fresh water at low temperature of approximately $15^{\circ}C$ under light when the perianth was removed, and the plant growth was higher at salt concentrations of 50~100 mM.

본 연구는 토양 염농도의 변이가 큰 간척지에서 염생식물 나문재의 안정적인 재배와 생산을 위한 연구의 하나로, 나문재 종자의 발아특성과 초기생육특성을 구명하고자 실시하였다. 나문재 종자는 무배유 쌍자엽 구조를 가지며 별 모양의 황색 화피에 싸여 있다. 종자크기는 길이가 4.7 mm, 너비가 4.4 mm, 그리고 두께가 3.1 mm이며, 천립중은 1.58 g이다. 종자의 발아는 $5{\sim}40^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 8~65%의 변이를 보이며, $15^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높았다. 염농도에 따른 발아율은 증류수에서 발아율이 가장 높았으며 염농도가 증가할수록 발아율이 감소하였다. 종자에서 화피를 제거했을 때의 발아율은 온도나 염농도에 관계 없이 모든 처리에서 유의하게 증가하였다. 종자발아에서 광의 영향을 보면, 0~300 mM의 염농도 범위에서 광조건이 암조건보다 5~20% 정도 발아율이 높게 나타났다. 한편, 염농도 따른 나문재의 초기생장을 초장, 경수, 생체중, 건물중, 근장 등으로 조사한 결과, 모든 특성들이 50~100 mM의 염농도에서 양호하였고, 증류수나 높은 농도의 염수에서는 생장이 크게 감소되었다. 결론적으로, 나문재의 발아율을 높이기 위해서는 화피를 제거한 종자를 증류수에 침종하여 $15^{\circ}C$ 정도의 저온과 광 조건에서 발아시키는 것이 유리하며, 식물체의 생장은 50~100 mM의 염농도 하에서 재배하는 것이 유리하다.
