Abstract

Effects of exogenously foliar applied glycine betaine (GB) on the growth and contents of osmolyte in tomato seedling was investigated. Plants treated with exogenous glycine betaine induced better biomass production and plant height during chilling stress than the untreated plants. The total soluble sugar contents in GB foliar-applied plants lower than that of untreated plants 28 days after foliar application. Total water soluble protein contents in GB foliar-applied plants did not change 28 days after chilling stress. In untreated plant, it decreased rapidly in the beginning of chilling stress. Proline contents in untreated plants rapidly increased by the beginning of chilling stress, and then slightly decreased during the next 3 weeks. However proline contents in GB foliar-applied plants did not change during the 28 days chilling stress period. The results suggest that foliar application of GB is a effect methods to increase the chilling tolerance of tomato seedlings in protected cultivation system at low temperature season.

토마토 유묘의 생육에 미치는 glycine betaine의 엽면처리 효과를 분석한 결과, 초장이나 건물중 등의 생육이 대조구인 증류수 처리에 비해 촉진되는 경향을 보였으며 25mM glycine betaine 처리가 가장 좋았다. 저온스트레스 하에서 삼투조절 역할을 하는 가용성 당과 proline의 축적량이 증류수 처리에 비해 glycine betaine처리에서 낮은 경향을 보여 외부에서 엽면 처리한 glycine betaine이 삼투조절 역할을 한 것으로 판단되었으며 이러한 결과는 수용성 단백질과 유리 아미노산의 축적 양상에서도 잘 반영되었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 glycine betaine의 엽면 처리는 저온기 시설 토마토 재배 시 야간 저온장해를 극복할 수 있는 방법으로서 이용 가능성이 있을 것으로 사료된다.
