Abstract

This study confirmed the effects of seed shape, temperature, and light treatment on the germination of eight species of medicinal crops to produce high-value crops in vertical farms. Eight species of medicinal seeds were selected, and the seed shape, seed length, seed width, seed length/width ratio, and one hundred seed weight were measured. The seed moisture content was confirmed. Eight species of medicinal seeds were sown, and the germination rate, germination energy, mean daily germination, and mean germination time were investigated according to temperature (15, 20, 25, 25/15℃) and light treatment. Each of the eight medicinal seeds showed different seed shapes. The moisture content of the seeds showed a moisture content rate of over 20% in the five medicinal seeds. Medicinal seeds that showed a germination rate of over 50% were Angelica gigas Nakai, Codonopsis lanceolata (Siebold & Zucc.) Benth. & Hook.f. ex Trautv., and Achyranthes bidentata Blume var. japonica Miq. seeds. A. gigas seed showed a germination rate of 67.34 ± 4.38% under 25/15℃ light conditions, and C. lanceolata seed showed a germination rate of over 50% under both temperature and light treatment conditions, especially the highest germination rate of 82.67 ± 1.46% under 15℃ dark conditions. Peucedanum japonicum Thunb. seed showed a germination rate of 52.34 ± 1.77% under dark conditions at 20℃, and the highest germination rate was 51.67 ± 3.79% under dark conditions at 15℃. The maximum germination energy was 74.00 ± 4.94% in C. lanceolata seed. The maximum mean daily germination was 14.94 ± 0.15 days in P. japonicum seed. Astragalus penduliflorus Lam. var. dahuricus (DC.) X.Y.Zhu seed showed the highest mean germination time of 34.19 ± 4.71. Through this study, it was determined that A. gigas, C. lanceolata, and A. penduliflours seeds would be suitable for production in vertical farms based on the characteristics of each medicinal seed through analysis of seed germination characteristics.

본 연구는 수직농장에서 고부가가치 작물 생산을 위한 약용 작물 8종에 대한 종자의 형태 및 온도, 광 처리에 따른 발아에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 약용 종자 8종을 선별하여 종자의 형태를 종자의 길이, 종자의 너비, 종자의 길이/너비의 비율 및 백립중 측정하였으며, 종자의 수분함량을 확인하였다. 약용 종자 8종을 파종하여 온도(15, 20, 25, 25/15℃) 및 광 처리에 따라 발아율, 발아세, 평균 발아 속도, 평균 발아 일수를 조사하였다. 약용 종자 8종에 따라 각기 다른 종자 형태를 보였다. 종자의 수분함량은 약용 종자 5종에서 20% 이상의 흡수율을 보였다. 50%가 넘는 발아율을 보인 약용 종자는 당귀(참당귀), 더덕, 식방풍(갯기름나물) 및 우슬(쇠무릎) 종자였다. 당귀 종자는 25/15℃ 광 조건에서 발아율이 67.34 ± 4.38%로 보였으며, 더덕 종자는 온도 및 광 처리 조건 모두에서 50% 이상의 발아율과 특히15℃ 암 조건에서 82.67 ± 1.46% 가장 높은 발아율을 보였다. 식방풍 종자는 20℃ 암 조건에서 52.34 ± 1.77%의 발아율을 보였고, 우슬 종자 15℃의 암 조건에서 51.67 ± 3.79%로 가장 높은 발아율을 보였다. 최대 발아세는 더덕 종자에서 74.00 ± 4.94%였습니다. 식방풍 종자에서 최대 평균 발아 일수는 14.94 ± 0.15일이었다. 황기 종자에서 34.19 ± 4.71로 최대 평균 발아 속도를 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 약용 종자별 특성들을 기초로 수직농장에서 생산하기 위해 종자 발아 특성 분석을 통해 당귀, 더덕, 황기 종자가 적합할 것으로 판단된다.
