Abstract

Grafted seedlings have widely been used in fruit vegetables such as tomatoes in order to increase productivity by acquiring resistance to environmental stress and soil-borne diseases. This study was conducted to assess the performance of rootstocks by comparatively analyzing the growth, yield, and photosynthetic efficiency, by measuring chlorophyll fluorescence, in cherry tomatoes grown in soil cultivation. The cherry tomato variety ‘Nonari’ was used as the scion. The domestic rootstock cultivars ‘Powerguard’, ‘IT173773’, ‘20LM’, and a control cultivar ‘B-blocking’ were grafted with the scion. When using the rootstock cultivar ‘20LM’ grafted with cherry tomato ‘Nonari’, the yield was 15% higher than the yield using the control rootstock cultivar, and the performance index based on the absorption (PIABS), which is an index of plant vitality, was as much as 3.260 higher with ‘20LM’ than with the control rootstock even in the low temperature period. The rootstock ‘20LM’ maintained the plant vigor with balanced growth until the late harvest because its photosynthetic efficiency was high even when exposed to cold stress in the early stage. The growth strength of the non-grafted cherry tomato decreased to 7.3mm at 80 days after planting. The grafted cherry tomatoes had greater cold stress tolerance than the non-grafted cherry tomatoes because they had stronger roots. In contrast, the non-grafted cherry tomato plants were damaged by cold, which inhibited growth and led to a decrease in fruit yield. When ‘Powerguard’ and ‘IT173773’ were grafted with the scion, the yield was low, which might have been due to the low photosynthetic efficiency in the late harvest stage; the chlorophyll fluorescence OJIP transients (OJIP curves) of the plants with ‘Powerguard’ and ‘IT173773’ rootstocks were lower than those of the other grafted plants. There was a significant relationship between plant growth, yield, and chlorophyll fluorescence. Therefore, photosynthetic efficiency can be used to screen the performance of rootstocks.

접목묘는 생물적·비생물적 스트레스 피해 저감 및 세력 유지를 통한 수량 증대 효과를 위해 토마토와 같은 과채류에서 폭넓게 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 토경재배 시 방울토마토 대목의 종류에 따라 나타나는 생육과 수량을 비교 분석하고 엽록소형광으로 측정한 광합성 효율을 평가하여 대목의 성능을 검정하고자 수행하였다. 대목 실험재료는 국내 개발 품종 및 계통 ‘Powerguard’, ‘IT173773’, ‘20LM’ 및 대조 품종 ‘B-blocking’을 사용하였으며, 접수 실험재료와 비접목처리구로 방울토마토 품종 ‘Nonari’를 사용하였다. 접목처리구 ‘20LM’의 주당 총 수량은 1,339g으로 대조 대목 품종인 ‘B-blocking’보다 15% 더 많았고, 접목처리구 ‘Powerguard’와 ‘IT173773’의 주당 총 수량은 1,013g과 997g으로 적었다. 저온기에 비접목처리구의 생장강도는 7.3mm로 낮았고 ‘20LM’은 9.9mm를 높았다. 작물의 전반적인 활력도를 나타내는 엽록소형광 지수 PIABS를 측정한 결과, 비접목처리구는 1.498로 낮았고 ‘20LM’은 3.260으로 높았다. ‘20LM’은 대목의 뿌리 활력으로 인해 저온에 내성이 있으나 비접목처리구는 저온 피해를 받아 광합성 효율이 떨어져 생장강도가 감소한 것으로 판단된다. ‘20LM’은 생육 초기에 저온에 노출되었음에도 광합성 효율이 높아 균형된 생장을 유지하여 생육 후기까지 작물 세력이 강해 총 수량이 많은 것으로 판단된다. 처리 간의 생육과 수량의 정도가 엽록소형광 수치와 일치하는 양상을 보여 광합성 효율을 측정함으로써 대목 종류에 따른 성능을 분석할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.
