Abstract

The plant-induced electrical signal (PIES), which reflects nutrient and water uptake by the plant, can be monitored by inserting electrodes on both sides of the plant stem. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether PIES measurement can be applied to evaluate plant growth in response to urea fertilization. Soil was treated with different amounts of urea and the PIES of broccoli grown in the soil was monitored. PIES showed significantly positive correlation with nitrate in stems, indicating that PIES represents increased water and ion transport in broccoli stem caused by increasing urea application. Broccoli leaves treated with high amounts of fertilizer showed the highest chlorophyll content, but there was no significant difference among treatments. The proline content was highest with standard urea application; however, it was in the range of normal condition. There was no significant difference in the growth parameters of broccoli among different treatments, but the PIES was slightly higher when standard amount of urea was applied compared to the other treatments. The PIES values were different among individual broccoli plants and were highly correlated with nitrate in broccoli stem. Thus, PIES could be used as an indicator to evaluate plant nitrogen uptake.

식물 유도 전기적 신호(PIES)는 식물 줄기의 양쪽에 전극을 삽입하여 모니터링하며 식물의 양수분 흡수를 반영한다. 본 연구의 목적은 요소 시비에 따른 식물 생육 반응을 평가하는데 PIES를 적용할 수 있을지 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위해 토양에 요소를 처리하고 브로콜리의 PIES를 모니터링하였다. PIES는 줄기의 질산태 질소와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보여 PIES가 요소비료 처리 증가로 인한 브로콜리 줄기의 양수분 이동을 반영한 것으로 판단된다. 비료 과잉 처리구에서 브로콜리 잎의 엽록소 함량이 가장 높았으나 처리구간 유의한 차이는 없었다. 프롤린 함량은 표준 상태로 요소를 처리했을 때 가장 높았으나 정상 범위에 속하는 것으로 판단된다. 브로콜리의 생육은 처리구에 따라 유의한 차이가 없었지만 표준량의 요소를 처리했을 때 PIES가 다른 처리구보다 약간 높았다. PIES의 값은 브로콜리 개체별로 달랐는데 이는 브로콜리 줄기의 질산태 질소 함량과 높은 상관관계를 보여 식물의 질소 흡수를 평가하는 지표로 PIES를 사용할 수 있을 것이다.
