Abstract

This study was undertaken to elucidate the effects of virus and viroid infections on the growth of trees and the attributes of fruit quality in 'Hongro' apples. Trials were initiated using virus-infected, viroid-infected, combined virus/viroid-infected, and uninfected apple trees in an experimental apple orchard at the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science in 2019. The growth of each tree was measured annually and compared between virus-free and virus/viroid-infected trees. Fruits were harvested from all apple trees, and selected attributes of fruit quality, including yield, weight, firmness, titratable acidity, and anthocyanin content, were determined in September 2021-2022. The results revealed significant differences among virus-free trees and those infected with either virus, viroid, or a combination of virus and viroid. Infection with viral and viroid diseases led to reductions in tree height (14.0%), trunk area (23.1%), fruit yield (65.0%), fruit weight (34.4%), and anthocyanin content (39.8%), while increasing fruit firmness (33.2%) and titratable acidity (39.8%), respectively. We anticipate that our research findings will also be beneficial for apple virus and viroid disease control, as well as apple cultivation management.

본 연구는 '홍로' 사과의 바이러스와 바이로이드 감염이 수체 생장 및 과실 영향을 분석하기 위해 수행되었다. 무병묘와 감염묘를 동일한 환경 조건에서 비교하고 분석하기 위해 2019년 국립원예특작과학원 원내에 실증포장을 조성하고 수체 생장 및 과실 품질을 조사하였다. 수체 생장은 연도별로 조사하였고, 과실은 2021-2022년 시험수의 재식 3~4년차에 2년동안 조사하여 과실 수량, 무게, 경도, 당도, 산도, 안토시아닌함량을 측정하였다. 연구 결과 바이러스와 바이로이드 감염에 의해 '홍로'의 수고(14.0%), 주간직경(23.1%), 과실 수량(65.0%), 과중(34.4%), 과피의 안토시아닌함량(39.8%)은 감소하였으며, 경도(33.2%)와 산도(39.8%)는 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 사과 바이러스병과 바이로이드병의 피해를 이해하고 효과적인 방제를 통해 사과 과원에 재배적인 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.
