Most parts of alfalfa plant have been reported to contain autotoxic substances that inhibit seed germination and early seedling growth, however, the chemical(s) is not still studied much. Effect of seed leachates of 'Vernal' alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) was evaluated for inhibition of alfalfa germination and root growth through bioassay. Alfalfa seeds were extracted in 1 L deionized water for 1 h after soaking and the leachates caused to reduce root length of alfalfa significantly as the soaking time increased. Crude seeds at 4 g L$L^{-1}$ exudated autotoxins that reduce significantly root length by 34 % compared to the control, when the seeds soaked in deionized water for 24 h. However, the extracts did not affect final germination as well as speed of germination. Extracts from ground seeds significantly reduced speed of germination (GT 50) and root length. The results indicate that release of autotoxic substances from seeds during seed imbibition was increased with increase of soaking time and seed amount, and that autotoxicity was more occurred in ground seeds than in crude seeds.

Compositae plants are known to contain biologically active substances that are allelopathic to agricultural crops as well as weed species. Aqueous extracts from leaves of Xanthium occidentale were assayed against alfalfa (Medicago sativa) to determine their allelopathic effects, and the result showed that the extracts applied onto filter paper significantly inhibited seed germination as well as root growth of alfalfa. Untreated seeds germinated in 60h, but extract concentrations greater than 30g $\textrm{L}^{-1}$ delayed seed germination. The extracts significantly inhibited seed germination of alfalfa, and $\beta$-amylase activity of alfalfa and barley seeds during 24-36 hours after treatment. Aqueous extracts of 40 g $\textrm{L}^{-1}$ from X. occidentale were completely inhibited the hypocotyl and root growth of alfalfa. Aqueous leaf extracts showed the highest inhibitory effect and followed by root and stem extracts. Early seedling growth of both alfalfa and barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) was significantly reduced by methanol extracts. By means of high-performance liquid chromatography, chlorogenic acid and trans-cinnamic acid were quantified as the highest amounts from water and EtOAc fractions, respectively. BuOH and EtOAc fractions of X. occidentale reduced alfalfa root growth more than did hexane and water fractions. The findings of the bioassays for aqueous or methanol extracts reflected that the inhibitory effect of extract was closely related to the level of responsible allelochemicals found in plant extracts.

Autotoxicity restricts reseeding of new alfalfa(Medicago sativa L.) after alfalfa until autotoxic chemical(s) breaks down or is dispersed into external environments, often requiring up to a year or more. One solution for reducing autotoxicity would be to select germplasms or cultivars with tolerance to the autotoxic chemical(5) and use genetically breeding program. Bioassay of seed germination and early seedling growth was conducted to evaluate autotoxic responses of 3 varieties of alfalfa to the water-soluble extracts(at 4 and 8g/L) from alfalfa ‘Cody’leaf by using agar and filter paper medium in a petri-dish assay. Root length at 5 days after seeding was more sensitive to the extract than was hypocotyl length or seed germination, and was a better parameter of autotoxic effects of alfalfa leaf extracts. Use of an agar medium gave better sensitivity of root length than did use of filter paper. Evaluating tolerance with percent of control was more important indicator than was mean of root length because of significant variation among varieties in root length of control treatment. Bioassay ranked varieties in the following order of tolerance on the basis of relative root length; “Cody” >“ Pioneer 5373” >“ Alfagraze”. Seedling growth from old “Cody” seed was more sensitive to the autotoxic chemical(5) than was that from newly produced seed.

The efficacy of ozone micro-bubble water (OMBW) in reducing microbial populations on alfalfa seeds was investigated in this study. We observed the surface of alfalfa seeds using microscopy and found that many cracks and crevices existing on the surface could harbor pathogens. Alfalfa seeds were treated with tap water (TW), micro-bubble water (MBW), ozone water (OW), ozone micro-bubble water (OMBW), and chlorine water (CL) for 5 min, and total microbial population, E. coli and Salmonella spp. colonies were determined. Also, the sterilized seeds were germinated and cultivated for 5 d after sowing to investigate the percentage of germination and the growth of alfalfa sprouts. The treatments with OMBW and CL were most effective in reducing total microbial populations and E. coli was eliminated by OW, OMBW, and CL treatments. CL treatment reduced the percentage of germination and fresh weight of alfalfa sprouts, but OMBW did not cause any negative effects on the germination and growth of alfalfa sprouts. These results indicate that OMBW can be used as an effective sanitizer for eliminating seed-borne pathogens without detrimental effects on seed viability.

본 실험은 알파파 꽃 추출물로부터 Allelopathy와 Autotoxicity에 관련되는 활성물질을 분리, 동정하기 위하여 실시하였다. 알팔파 꽃 200g을 80% MeOH로 추출하여 $CHCl_3$층을 silica gel thin layer chromatography (TLC), microcrystalline cellulose thin layer chromatography (MCTLC)와 droplet countercurrent chromatography(DCCC)의 분획을 이용하여 생물검정을 행하고 DCCC의 생물검정에서 가장 억제력을 보였던 분획 5와 6은 HPLC로 활성물질을 동정하였다. HPLC분석 결과 분획 5에서는 ferulic acid, caffeic acid, vanillic acid, rutin, narringin 이, 분획 6에서는 ferulic acid, caffeic acid, vanillic acid, rutin, coumarin이 동정되었다. 이들 동정된 물질을 이용한 알팔파와 돌피에 대한 발아실험에서도 모두 알팔파와 돌피의 발아와 생육에 억제적으로 작용하였으며, 이중 coumarin의 처리가 가장 억제적이었다. 따라서 이들 물질이 알팔파와 돌피의 autotoxicity와 allelopathy에 관련하는 것으로 생각되었다.

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) plants have been reported to contain water-soluble substances that are autotoxic as well as allelopathic. Laboratory experiment through a petri-dish assay with imbibed seeds was conducted to evaluate both autotoxic and allelopathic effects of alfalfa leaf extracts on the germination and early seedling growth of alfalfa, red clover, crested wheatgrass, and Russian wildrye. Alfalfa seed germination was delayed dependent on extract concentration, with no difference in final germination at 72 hours. Root growth of alfalfa was stimulated up to 14% above control at very low concentrations of both leaf and stem extracts of alfalfa and was significantly reduced at extract concentration of more than 0.5g dry tissue/L (${gL}_{-1}$). Leaf extracts were generally more autotoxic for root growth than were stem extracts. Hypocotyl growth was not affected by all the concentrations of both leaf and stem extracts. Root length of legumes was more sensitive to the autotoxic chemicals from leaf extracts than was germination or shoot length. Hypocotyl growth of two legume plants and plant height of two grasses were not influenced by extracts. Seed germination and root growth of legumes were more inhibited by aqueous extracts of alfalfa leaf than were those of grasses. This result indicates autotoxic effect of alfalfa leaf extracts seems to be greater than allelopathic effect.

본 시험은 1997년 연암축산원예대학 부속실험목 장에서 석회, zeolite 및 rock phosphate의 조합비율과 피복 종자의 크기를 달리 하였을 때 목초의 발아 및 초기생육에 미치는 영향을 비교하기 위하여 수행되었다. 피복한 tall fescue 및 orchardgrass의 발아세 및 발아율은 피복하지 않은 종자에 비하여 낮았다. Tall fescue 피복종자의 발아율은 석 회 70 %와 rock phosphate 15% 처리구에서 가장 높았다. 그리고 피복종자의 크기는 소형 (직경 2 mm 이하)이 중형 (직경 2~3 mm)과 대형 (직경 3 mm 이상)에 비하여 발아율이 높게 나타났다. 한편 orchardgrass 피복종자의 발아율에 서는 석회 55%와 rock phosphate 30% 처리구가 다른 피복 처리구에 비하여 높았다. 한편 피복종자의 크기는 소형이 대형과 중형보다는 발아울이 높았다 (p<0.05). 피복한 alfalfa 및 bridsfoot trefoil 종자의 말아세 및 발아율은 피복하지 않은 종자에 비하여 낮았다 Alfalfa의 피복종자 중에서는 석회 70%와 rock phosphate 15% 및 석회 45%와 rock phosphate 55% 처리구가 다른 피복 종자보다 발아율이 높았다. 피복종자의 크기간에는 중형이 소형과 대형보 다 발아율이 높았다 (p<0.05). 한편 birdsfoot trefoil의 피복종자 중에서는 석회 45%와 rock phosphate 40% 처리구가 다른 피복종자에 비하여 발아세와 발아율이 높았다. 피복한 tall fescue 및 orchard grass의 정착률과 초기생 육은 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 피복처리구 중에서는 두 초종 모두 석회 45%와 rock phosphate 40% 처리구가 가장 높았다 (p<0.05). Alfalfa의 경우도 정착률과 초기생 육은 처리간에 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 피복처리구 중에서는 석회 75%와 rock phosphate 10% 처리구의 정착률과 초기생육이 각각 46.4% 및 $72.6\;g/\textrm{m}^2$으로 가장 높았다(p<0.05). Birdsfoot trefoil은 피복 처리구 중에서는 석회 55%와 rock phosphate 30% 처리구의 정착률과 초기생육이 각각 46.4% 및 $44.6\;g/\textrm{m}^2$으로 가장 높았다 (p<0.05) 이상의 연구결과를 종합해 볼 때 피복종자의 발아율은 초종 마다 약간의 차이가 있으나 rock phosphate를 증가 시키고 석회를 감소시킬 때 증가하며, 종자의 크기는 alfalfa를 제외하고는 소형종자 (직경 2 mm 이하)가 발아율이 높은 것으로 생각된다. 한편 정착률과 초기생육은 화본과 목초에서는 rock p phosphate를 중가 시키고 석회를 감소시킬 때 증가 할수 있다.
