The demand for Chelidonium majus L. subsp. asiaticum H. Hara is expected to increase due to its pharmacological properties such as antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. However, an effective propagation system for this species has not yet been established. This study was conducted to analyze the seed dormancy and germination characteristics of C. majus L. subsp. asiaticum H. Hara native to Korea and establish a mass propagation system. The dormancy type was primarily classified by analyzing the general information of the collected seeds. The seed dormancy breaking was investigated by comparing the effects of cold stratification (0, 2, 4, 8, 10, or 12 weeks) with warm stratification (S, summer temperature, 25/15℃) and intermediate temperature stratification (A, autumn temperature, 15/10℃) of alternating temperature stratification (S12-A4 or S12-A8 weeks). After dormancy break, 500 mg/L GA₃ and GA₄₊₇ treatment replaced cold stratification and improved seed germination. The results of this study are expected to provide basic data for future seed propagation and mass propagation by analyzing the dormancy and germination characteristics of C. majus L. subsp. asiaticum H. Hara seeds.

헐떡이풀은 우리나라에서 울릉도에서만 분포하는 자생식물로 전통적으로 약용으로 쓰여왔으며, 관상식물로의 활용도 기대되는 자원식물이다. 본 연구는 헐떡이풀 종자의 휴면타파와 발아를 위한 조건을 확립하고 종자휴면 유형을 분류하고자 수행되었다. 실험은 헐떡이풀 종자에 저온층적처리($5^{\circ}C$에서 0, 12주)와 고온층적처리($23^{\circ}C$에서 0, 4, 8, 12주 처리 후에 $5^{\circ}C$에서 8주, 다시 $23^{\circ}C$에서 배양함), $GA_3$ (0, 10, 100, 1000 mg/L)처리를 수행하였다. 이렇게 처리한 종자는 무균배지에 소독하여 파종하고 온도 $23^{\circ}C$, 광도 $40{\mu}mo{\ell}{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PPFD, 일장16시간 조건의 배양실에서 배양하였다. 헐떡이풀 종자는 자연상태에서 미숙배인 상태로 탈리되며, 종자 내부로의 수분흡수에 대한 물리적인 장벽은 없었다. 그러나 아무 처리 없이 파종하였을 때 30일이 지나도록 전혀 발아하지 않았다. 따라서 헐떡이풀 종자는 형태적 휴면(MD)과 생리적 휴면(PD)을 가지고 있는 것으로 판단하였다. 저온층적처리(0, 12주) 실험의 최종 발아율은 각각 66.7%, 45.6%로 나타났다. 저온처리는 오히려 발아를 약 3주 정도 지연시켰다. 고온층적처리(0, 4, 8, 12주) 실험에서는 최종 발아율이 각각 13.3%, 24.4%, 20.0%, 51.1%로 나타났다. 헐떡이풀 종자의 배는 상대적 고온에서 발달하였다. $GA_3$ 처리는 종자의 휴면을 극복하고 발아를 촉진하였다. $GA_3$ 처리에서의 최종 발아율은 0, 10, 100, 1000 mg/L 처리구에 대하여 각각 33.3%, 45.0%, 42.5%, 72.5%로 나타났다. 위의 결과를 종합하여 헐떡이풀 종자는 non-deep simple 형태생리적 휴면(MPD)을 가지고 있으며, $GA_3$ 처리를 통해 고온을 대체하고 종자의 휴면을 타파할 수 있었다. 이는 한국에 자생하는 헐떡이풀속의 종자휴면에 대해 처음으로 보고한 논문이다.

Heloniopsis koreana and Heloniopsis tubiflora (Melanthiaceae) are endemic herbaceous species of the Korean Peninsula. The Melanthiaceae family has been described as having seeds with small, underdeveloped embryos at the time of dispersal, and morphological (MD) or morphophysiological dormancy (MPD). However, there are few reports on embryo growth, morphology, and seed germination in Heloniopsis species. The aims of this study were to investigate embryo growth and seed dormancy, and to determine the type of dormancy exhibited by these species. The effects of incubation temperatures, light conditions, and gibberellic acid ($GA_3$) on dormancy break and seed germination were tested. Freshly matured seeds of the two species had small embryos that occupied about 9-11% of the length of the endosperm, and which increased by more than 300% in length before radicle emergence, indicating that the embryos are underdeveloped at the time of dispersal. Embryos in the seeds grew under warm temperature regimes (between $25/15^{\circ}C$ and $30/20^{\circ}C$). $GA_3$ application (tested only in the light) overcame seed dormancy and promoted germination. Approximately 30% of the seeds of H. koreana and approximately 40% of the seeds of H. tubiflora germinated in suitable environmental conditions (light and temperature) within 4 weeks. Therefore, 30-40% of the seeds of the two species exhibited MD, and the rest of the seeds had non-deep simple MPD. Light was found to be one of the critical factors for germination because no seed of either of the two Heloniopsis species germinated under constant dark conditions, and thus, these species have the potential to form a persistent soil seed bank. Understanding these germination requirements will help in development of effective strategies to increase the establishment of seedlings in their native habitat.
