Abstract

In order to obtain the basic information for agricultural utilization of Germanium(Ge), the growth characteristics and the germanium uptake by water celery were investigated at different concentration of germanium in soil. This experiment was carried out in the Wagner pot(1 $5,000^{-1}a$). Germanium concentrations in soil for water celery cultivation were maintained at 0.26, 25.0, 62.5, and 125.0 mg $kg^{-1}$, respectively. The treatment of over Ge 25.0 mg $kg^{-1}$ in the soil led to germanium phytotoxicity such as reduction of plant height and fresh weight. The contents of germanium in water celery were increased with the increase of germanium concentration in the soil. When water celery was cultivated from soil maintained with Ge 25.0 and 62.5 mg $kg^{-1}$, its germanium contents in plant were 89.9 and 371.6 mg $kg^{-1}$, respectively. Then, the efficiency of germanium uptake of water celery in Ge 25.0 and 62.5 mg $kg^{-1}$ maintained plots was 1.7 and 2.4%, respectively. When water celery was cultivated from soil maintained with Ge 25.0, 62.5 and 125.0 mg $kg^{-1}$, its content of amino acid was found to be 89.8, 198.4, and 318.2 mg $g^{-1}$, respectively. To investigate the effect of N fertilizer application in uptake of germanium by water celery, these were treated with nontreatment, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 times of N application based on soil testing for cultivation of water celery. However, the amount of the N fertilizer application did not affect the contents of germanium in the water celery. When water celery was cultivated from soil maintained with two kinds of inorganic and organic germanium 50 mg $kg^{-1}$, respectively, the content of germanium were 24.2 mg $kg^{-1}$ in the Ge-132 treatment and 11.8 mg $kg^{-1}$ in the $GeO_2$ treatment.

게르마늄의 약리효능이 알려짐에 따라 게르마늄이 함유된 기능성 농산물 재배에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구는 게르마늄의 농업적 이용에 대한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 시험하였으며 미나리의 생육 및 게르마늄 흡수 특성을 분석하였다. 게르마늄 처리농도가 증가할수록 초장과 생체중이 감소하여 게르마늄 독성이 나타났다. 게르마늄 25.0 mg $kg^{-1}$ 이상에서는 생육이 저하됨에 따라 미나리의 정상적인 생육을 위해서는 그 이하 농도로 게르마늄을 처리하여야 할 것으로 생각된다. 게르마늄 농도를 25.0 및 62.5 mg $kg^{-1}$ 으로 처리하였을때 게르마늄 함량은 각각 89.9와 371.6 mg $kg^{-1}$이었으며, 흡수율은 각각 1.7 및 2.4%으로 나타났다. 토양에 게르마늄을 25.0, 62.5 및 125.0 mg $kg^{-1}$으로 처리하였을때 총 아미노산 함량은 각각 89.8, 198.4 및 318.2 mg $g^{-1}$으로 게르마늄 농도가 높을수록 아미노산 함량이 증가하였고, 특히 Asx.(Asp.+Asn.), Ser., Glx.(Glu.+Gln.), Leu. 등의 함량 증가가 뚜렷하였다. 토양에 무기게르마늄을 50 mg $kg^{-1}$으로 처리하고 질소시비량을 달리하여 미나리를 재배하였을때 토양검정에 의한 질소시비량구에서 게르마늄 함량은 11.7 mg $kg^{-1}$으로 가장 높았으나 pot당 흡수량은 질소시비량에 따른 유의성이 없어 질소비료 시용량과 게르마늄 흡수량과는 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 게르마늄 종류를 달리하여 무기와 유기게르마늄을 각각 50 mg $kg^{-1}$으로 토양에 처리하였을 때 게르마늄 흡수량은 유기게르마늄인 Ge-132 처리에서 24.2 mg $kg^{-1}$으로 가장 높았으며, 무기게르마늄인Ge와 $GeO_2$ 처리에서는 각각 12.9 및 11.8 mg $kg^{-1}$이었다.
