Effects of Germanium(Ge) on Growth, Yield and Ge Content of Mungbean

This study was conducted to clarify the effective application method, uptake, and translocation of germanium(Ge) in mungbean plants. The foliar application of liquid Ge at 7 mg/l during the flowering period, seeds containing 38.7, $14.1{\mu}g/kg$ of Ge, from the first and second harvesting. It had 2.5 and 2.3 times more Ge than the seeds raised by using granule Ge at 7 mg/kg with basal fertilization. The foliar application of Ge at 3.5, 7, 14 and 28 mg/l during the flowering period, yielded a relatively high record of seeds containing $14.9{\sim}77.8{\mu}g/kg$ and $6.9{\sim}26.7{\mu}g/kg$ of Ge, from the first and second harvesting. However, seeds from the first harvesting contained $2.2{\sim}4.1$ times more Ge than the seeds of from the second harvesting. On the other hand, seeds from first and second harvesting of the non-treatment group Ge contained 1.9 and $3.2{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. When the foliar application of Ge at 7 mg/l was conducted two or three times, the Ge content of the seeds in the first to third harvesting were all over $20{\mu}g/kg$. This indicates that a certain level of Ge can be accumulated. In seeds of mungbean containing $96{\mu}g/kg$ of Ge, cotyledon had $138{\mu}g/kg$ of Ge, which was 79% more than seed coat per unit weight. The growth and quantity of mungbean was not significantly different according to the formulation of Ge, the concentration and the frequency of foliar application of Ge used for in study.

게르마늄 시용에 따른 녹두 생육 및 부위별 Ge 함량 변화

본 연구는 게르마늄 함유 녹두 생산을 위해 게르마늄의 효과적인 처리방법과 이행특성 등을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 1. 액상 게르마늄(7 mg/l) 개화기 엽면살포구 1, 2차 수확 종실의 게르마늄 함량은 각각 38.7, $14.1{\mu}g/kg$로 입상 게르마늄(7 mg/kg)을 기비와 함께 시용하는 것보다 각각 2.5, 2.3배 많다. 2. 게르마늄 3.5, 7, 14, 28 mg/l 를 개화기 엽면살포구 1, 2차 수확 종실의 게르마늄 함량은 각각 $14.9{\sim}77.8{\mu}g/kg,\;6.9{\sim}26.7{\mu}g/kg$로 엽면살포 농도에 비례하여 많았으나 1차 수확 종실이 2차 수확 종실에 비해 $2.2{\sim}4.1$배 많다. 반면에 무처리구 1, 2차 수확 종실의 게르마늄 함량은 각각 1.9, $3.2{\mu}g/kg$이었다. 3. 게르마늄 7 mg/l를 2회나 3회 엽면살포시 $1{\sim}3$차 수확 종실의 게르마늄 함량은 $20{\mu}g/kg$ 이상으로 일정 수준의 게르마늄 축적이 가능하였다. 4. 게르마늄 $96{\mu}g/kg$이 함유된 녹두 종실에서 자엽의 게르마늄 함량은 $138{\mu}g/kg$으로 종피보다 단위 중량당 79% 많았다. 5. 본 연구에 이용된 게르마늄의 제형, 엽면살포 농도 및 횟수에 따른 녹두 생육과 수량은 유의차가 없다.
