Abstract

Chilean wild flower seeds showed low germination rate and lacked germination uniformity. This experiment was conducted to find out the effects of light conditions, $GA_3$ (50 mg/L, 100 mg/L, 200 mg/L) and $KNO_3$ (0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4%) treatments on germination of five species of Chilean wild flower seeds. The seeds of $Schizanthus$ $candidus$, $Schizanthus$ $hookerii$, and $Schizanthus$ $litoralis$ did not germinated in light condition. The others did not show a significant different germination rate under light and dark conditions. The germination rate of $Mimulus$ $luteus$, $Schizanthus$ $candidus$, $Schizanthus$ $hookerii$ increased 2.3, 5.6, and 3.2 times compared with control, respectively in $GA_3$-200 mg/L treatment, but that of $Rhodophiala$ $ananuca$ enhanced slightly in $GA_3$-50 mg/L treatment. Those results suggested that the germination rate of Chilean wild flower seeds enhanced by $GA_3$ treatment that is very efficient in breaking seed dormancy.

칠레산 야생화 종자는 발아율이 낮고, 종자의 등숙 정도가 불량하다. 이에 본 연구는 광조건 그리고 $GA_3$(50mg/L, 100mg/L, 200mg/L)와 $KNO_3$(0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4%) 처리가 5종의 칠레산 야생화 종자의 발아율에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 수행되었다. 광조건 실험에서 $Schizanthus$ $candidus$, $Schizanthus$ $hookerii$, $Schizanthus$ $litoralis$ 종은 명조건에서는 발아가 전혀 이루어지지 않았다. $GA_3$$KNO_3$ 처리에서는 $Mimulus$ $luteus$, $Schizanthus$ $candidus$, $Schizanthus$ $hookerii$ 종은 $GA_3$-200mg/L 처리구에서 무처리구에 비해 각각 2.3배, 5.6배, 3.2배의 발아율 증가효과를 보였다. 그러나 $Rhodophiala$ $ananuca$ 종은 $GA_3$-50mg/L 처리구에서 다소 높은 발아율을 나타냈다. 발아율이 낮은 칠레산 야생화 종자의 발아 촉진에는 식물 종자의 휴면타파의 효과가 있는 $GA_3$ 처리가 효과적인 것으로 생각된다.
