Studies on the Mutation Breeding in Castanea SP.

방사선(放射線)에 의(依)한 밤나무의 돌연변이(突然變異) 육종(育種)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

The seeds, scions and plants of chestnut tree (Castanea. crenata) and Chinese chestnut tree (C. bungeana) were irradiated by gamma ray in order to know their biological effects on germination, plant growth and mutation at several accumulative doses and dose rates. The results of this study could be summarized as follows: 1. In general, the radio-sensitivity of scions was more sensitive to irradiation, showing 50% reduction dose of the control for grafting percentage at 3.1 kR as compared with 4.6 kR for the above reduction dose in germination rates of seeds. 2. The seeds treated by 5 kR dose resulted in some albino mutants at a rate of 0.84%. There was a general tendency that the seedling height reduced significantly as the irradiation dose increased. 3. The scions treated by an acute irradiation showed their 50% reduction dose in grafting at 3.2 kR for Chinese chestnut and at 3.1 kR for chestnut, respectively, while their irradiation doses increased three times, having 10.2 kR for the 50% reduction dose in the case of semi-acute irradiation. 4. When Chinese chestnut trees were irradiated during their dormant period with a total dose of 7.5 kR to 4.9 kR at a dose rate of 150 R to 98 R per day, there were induced giant leaf bud-sports at a frequency of 16.6%. The averag leaf area of the giant leaf bud-sports were measured at 96.36 square centimeters, while the area of normal leaf was only 26.28 square centimeters.

밤나무와 약밤나무의 종자(種子), 접수(接穗) 및 생체(生體)에 감마선(線)을 총선량별(總線量別), 총량률별(總量率別)로 조사(照射)하여 방사선(放射線)의 생물학적(生物學的) 효과(効果) 및 돌연변이(突然變異)의 유기(誘起)를 조사(調査)한 결과(結果)를 다음과 같이 요약(要約)한다. 1. 밤나무의 ${\gamma}$선조사(線照射)에 의(依)한 종자발아율(種子發芽率) 반감선량(半減線量)은 4.6 kR 인데 접목활착율(接木活着率) 반감선량(半減線量)은 3.1 kR으로 더욱 높은 감수성(感受性)을 보였다. 2. 종자조사(種子照射) 5 kR구(區)에서 낮은 빈도(頻度)(0.84%로 albino 개체(個體)가 나타났으며 선량(線量)의 증가(增加)에 따라 묘장(苗長)이 유의성(有意性)있게 감소(減少)하였다. 3. 접수조사(接穗照射)에 의(依)한 접목활착율(接木活着率) 반감선량(半減線量)은 급조사(急照射)에서 약밤나무 및 밤나무가 3.2 kR 및 3.1 kR인데 반급조사(半急照射)에서는 10.2 kR으로서 3배(倍)의 높은 누적선량(累積線量)의 조사(照射)가 가능(可能)하였다. 4. 약밤나무의 휴면기(休眠期) 생체(生體) 완조사(緩照射)의 총선량(總線量) 7.5-4.9 kR, 선량율(線量率) 10-98 R/day구(區)에서 대형엽아조변이(大形葉芽條變異)가 높은 빈도(頻度)(16.6%)로 나타났으며 평균엽면적(平均葉面積) $96.36cm^2$로서 정상엽(正常葉) $26.28cm^2$보다 매우 컸다.
