Growth Response and Nutrient Content of Cowpea Sprouts Based on Growth Temperature and Genetic Resources

The purpose of this study was to establish the optimal growth temperature and to select genetic resources for production of cowpea sprouts. Seowon was treated between $15^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$ at intervals of $3^{\circ}C$ to investigate growth temperature. Twelve resources, including Seowon, IT154149, IT154153, Tvu7426, and Tvu7778, were used for cultivating sprouts at a temperature of $27^{\circ}C$. The yield ratio of cowpea sprouts was highest at $27^{\circ}C$ (657%), and was reduced when growth temperature was decreased. The hard seed rate was lower when the growth temperature was increased. Vitamin C content was highest at $24^{\circ}C$ (2.85 mg/g), ranged between 2.15 and 2.29 mg/g at other growth temperatures, and increased with the length of the growth period. The inorganic component content of cowpea sprouts did not vary based on growth temperature, while the amino acid content increased with increasing growth temperature between $15^{\circ}C$ and $24^{\circ}C$, and then subsequently decreased as growth temperature rose from $24^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$. IT154153 had the highest yield ratio of cowpea sprouts per genetic resource (647%), followed by Seowon (615%), and Tvu7426 (608%). Genetic resources with a higher yield ratio had smaller seeds, a thinner seed coat, and superior germinability. The inorganic components found at highest concentrations in the cowpea sprouts were potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, iron, molybdenum, and zinc (in that order). In comparison to raw seeds, the protein, calcium, zinc, molybdenum, and iron content in the cowpea sprouts was higher, while the content of aluminum and boron was lower.

재배온도 및 유전자원에 따른 동부나물 생장반응 및 영양성분 변화

본 연구는 동부나물 생산에 적합한 재배온도를 설정하고, 유전자원을 선발하고자 수행하였다. 재배온도 설정을 위해 Seowon을 이용하여 $15^{\circ}C$에서 $30^{\circ}C$까지 $3^{\circ}C$ 간격으로 처리하였다. 나물 생산에 적합한 유전자원의 선발을 위해 Seowon, IT154149, IT154153, Tvu7426, Tvu7778 등 12계통 및 품종을 이용하여 $27^{\circ}C$에서 재배하였다. 1. 동부나물 생산수율은 $27^{\circ}C$에서 657%로 가장 높았고, 재배온도가 낮아질수록 떨어졌다. 2. 비타민 C 함량은 $24^{\circ}C$ 재배에서 2.85 mg/g로 가장 많았고, 기타 재배온도에서는 2.15~2.29 mg/g 범위였으며, 재배기간이 길어질수록 증가하였다. 3. 동부나물의 무기성분 함량은 재배온도에 따른 차이가 없었고, 아미노산 함량은 $15^{\circ}C$에서 $24^{\circ}C$까지는 재배온도가 높아질수록 증가한 반면 $24^{\circ}C$에서 $30^{\circ}C$까지는 재배온도가 높아질수록 감소하였다. 4. 동부 자원별 나물 생산수율은 IT154153 647%, Seowon 615%, Tvu7426 608% 순으로 많았다. 동부나물의 생산수율이 높은 자원은 종실이 작고 종피가 얇으며 발아력이 우수한 특징을 나타냈다. 5. 동부나물의 무기성분 함량은 칼륨, 마그네슘, 칼슘, 나트륨, 철, 몰리브덴, 아연 순으로 많았다. 동부나물의 단백질, 칼슘, 아연, 몰리브덴, 철 등의 함량은 원료곡보다 많았고, 알루미늄, 붕소 등의 함량은 원료곡보다 적었다.
