Abstract
This study was aimed to assess the effects of microclimate factors on lettuce chlorophyll fluorescent responses and to develop an environment control system for plant growth by adopting a simple genetic algorithm. The photosynthetic responses measurements were repeated by changing one factor among six climatic factors at a time. The maximum Fv'/Fm' resulted when the ambient temperature was $21^{\circ}C,\;CO_2$ concentration range of 1,200 to 1,400 ppm, relative humidity of $68\%$, air current speed of $1.4m{\cdot}s^{-1}$, and the temperature of nutrient solution of $20^{\circ}C$. In PPF greater than $140{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, Fv'/Fm' values were decreased. To estimate the effects of combined microclimate factors on plant growth, a photosynthesis efficiency model was developed using principle component analysis for six microclimate factors. Predicted Fv'/Fm' values showed a good agreement to measured ones with an average error of $2.5\%$. In this study, a simple genetic algorithm was applied to the photosynthesis efficiency model for optimal environmental condition for lettuce growth. Air emperature of $22^{\circ}C$, root zone temperature of $19^{\circ}C,\;CO_2$ concentration of 1,400 ppm, air current speed of $1.0m{\cdot}s^{-1}$, PPF of $430{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, and relative humidity of $65\%$ were obtained. It is feasible to control plant environment optimally in response to microclimate changes by using photosynthesis efficiency model combined with genetic algorithm.
본 연구에서는 폐쇄형 식물 생산시스템 내에서 생체정보에 의한 최적 환경제어와 식물의 환경스트레스 판단을 위하여 엽록소형광 분석법으로 광합성효율 모델을 만들었으며, 광합성효율 모델에 유전알고리즘을 적용하여 재배환경 최적화 프로그램의 응용성을 평가하였다. 6가지 미기상 요인 중 5가지는 고정하고 1가지씩만 변화시켜 가며 측정한 Fv'/Fm'이 최대가 되는 환경조건은 기온 $21^{\circ}C,\;CO_2$농도 $1,200\~1,400ppm$, 상대습도 $68\%$, 기류속도 $1.4m{\cdot}s^{-1}$, 배양액온도 $20^{\circ}C$이었으며 PPF가 $140{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ 보다 증가할수록 광합성 효율은 감소하였다. 광합성효율모델의 오차는 평균 $2.5\%$였다. 재배환경 최적화 프로그램으로부터 계산된 밀폐형식물 생산시스템내에서 상추의 최적재배환경조건은 기온 $22^{\circ}C$, 배양액온도 $19^{\circ}C,\;CO_2$농도 1,400ppm, 기류속도 $1.0m{\cdot}s^{-1}$, PPF $430{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, 상대습도 $65\%$이다. 이상의 연구 결과로부터 광합성 효율 모델을 이용하여 식물 생산시설의 환경모니터링 시스템과 식물 생체정보에 의한 최적제어시스템의 개발이 가능함을 확인하였다.
