밤나무의 영양번식(榮養繁殖)을 위(爲)한 한 방법(方法)

A Method for Vegetative Propagation of Chestnut tree

밤나무 종자(種子)의 발아초기(發芽初期)에 유근(幼根)과 유경(幼莖)을 할절(割切), 단일종자(單一種子)로부터 여러쌍(雙)의 동일유전자형(同一遺傳子型)을 얻는 방법(方法)으로 본연구(本硏究) 결과(結果), 밤나무종자(種子)의 유근(幼根)과 유경(幼莖)을 일주(一週) 간격(間隔)으로 1-3회(回)로 나누어 할절(割切)하여 2-8개체(個體)의 동일유전자형(同一遺傳子型)을 만들었다. 그 생장율(生長率)은 90-100%이며, 일회(一回)의 할절묘(割切苗)는 수회(數回)의 할절묘(割切苗)보다 생존율 생장량 및 T/R율(率)이 불량(不良)하고, 단일종자(單一種子)에서 얻은 4개체(個體)까지는 정상묘(正常苗와) 별 차이가 없고, 외부형태(外部形態)도 완전(完全)한 원형(原形)을 회복하였다.

In the beginning of the germination of Castanea creata seeds, seedlings with identical genetic characteristics from only one seed were produced by longitudinally splitting the radicle and epicotyl in half with a razor blade. The results are summarized as follows: 1. 2-8 genetically identical Castanca crenata seedlings were produced by longitudinally splitting the radicles and epicotyles from one to four in number in half with a razor blade 1-3 times about 7 days apart, while the seeds were germinating. 2. The proportion of success of splitting seedlings was very high (90-100%). When some of the spliting seedlings were withered a sprout appeared again and it was possible the seedling to revive. 3. The production rate, growth and T/R rate of seedlings which were split only once were lower that those of the seedlings which were split several times. 4. The growth and T/R rate of split seedlings which were one of no more than four seedlings produced from one seed showed no difference in comparison with normal seedlings, but in seedlings which were one of more than four, the growth and T/R rate were considerably decreased. 5. With the progress of growth, the external shapes of splitting seedlings completely returned to the original state, and no problems in growth, were found.
