Abstract
Experiment I: The objective of this study was to know variation in some selected agronomic characters of sweet sorghum when planted in several growing seasons. The 17 different sweet sorghum varieties having various maturities, and plant, syrup and sugar types were used in this study which had been carried out for the period of two years from 1968 to 1969 at Industrial Crops Division of Crop Experiment Station in Suwon. These varieties were planted at an interval of 20 days from April 5 to August 25 both in 1968 and 1969. The experimental results could be summarized as follows: 1. As planting was made early, the number of days from sowing to germination was getting prolonged while germination took place early when planted at the later date of which air temperature was relatively higher. However, such a tendency was not observed beyond the planting on August 25. In general, a significant negative correlation was found between the number of days from sowing to germination and the average daily temperature but a positive correlation was found between the former and the total accumulated average temperature during the growth period. 2. The period from sowing to heading was generally shortened as planting was getting delayed. The average varietal difference in number of days from sowing to heading was as much as 30.2 days. All the varieties were grouped into early-, medium and late-maturing groups based upon a difference of 10 days in heading. The average number of days from sowing to heading was 78.5$\pm$4.5 days in the early-maturing varieties, 88.5$\pm$4.5 days in the medium varieties and 98.5$\pm$4.5 days in the late-maturing varieties, respectively. The early-maturing varieties had the shortest period to heading when planted from July 15 to August 5, the medium varieties did when planted before July 15 and the late-maturing varieties did when planted before June 5. 3. The relationship between the sowing date (x) and number of days from sowing to heading could be expressed in an equation of y=a+bx. A highly positive correlation was found between the coefficient of the equation(shortening rate in heading time) and the average number of days from sowing to heading. 4. The number of days from sowing to heading was shortened as the daily average temperature during the growth period was getting higher. Early-maturing varieties had the shortest period to heading at a temperature of 24.2$^{\circ}C$, medium varieties at 23.8$^{\circ}C$ and late-maturing varieties at 22.9$^{\circ}C$, respectively. In other words, the number of days from sowing to heading was shortened rapidly in case that the average temperature for 30 days before heading was 22$^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$. It prolonged relatively when the temperature was lower than 21$^{\circ}C$. 5. There was a little difference in plant height among varieties. In case of early planting, no noticeable difference in the height was observed. The plant height shortened generally as planting season was delayed. Elongation of plant height was remarkably accelerated as planting was delayed. This tendency was more pronounced in case of early-maturing varieties rather than late-maturing varieties. As a result, the difference in plant height between the maximum and the minimum was greater in late-maturing varieties than in early-maturing varieties. 6. Diameter of the stalk was getting thicker as planted earlier in late-maturing varieties. On the other hand, medium or early-maturing varieties had he thickest diameter when they were planted on April 25. 7. In general, a higher stalk yield was obtained when planted from April 25 to May 15. However, the planting time for the maximum stalk yield varied from one variety to another depending upon maturity of variety. Ear]y-maturing varieties produced the maximum yield when planted about April 25, medium varieties from April 25 to May 15 and late-maturing varieties did when planted from April 5 to May 15 respectively. The yield decreased linearly when they were planted later than the above dates. 8. A varietal difference in Brix % was also observed. The Brix % decreased linearly when the varieties were planted later than May 15. Therefore, a highly negative relationship between planting date(x) and Brix %(y) was detected. 9. The Brix % during 40 to 45 days after leading was the highest at the 1st to the 3rd internodes from the top while it decreased gradually from the 4th internode. It increased again somewhat at the 2nd internode from the ground level. However, it showed a reverse relationship between the Brix % and position of internode before heading. 10. Sugar content in stalk decreased gradually as planting was getting delayed though one variety differed from another. It seemed that sweet sorghum which planted later than June had no value as a sugar crop at all. 11. The Brix % and sugar content in stalk increased from heading and reached the maximum 40 to 45 days after heading. The percentage of purity showed the same tendency as the mentioned characters. Accordingly, a highly positive correlation was observed between. percentage of purity and Brix % or sugar content in stalk. 12. The highest refinable sugar yield was obtained from the planting on April 25 in late-maturing varieties and from that on May 15 in early-maturing varieties. The yield rapidly decreased when planted later than those dates. Such a negative correlation between planting date(x) and refinable sugar yield(y) was highly significant at 1% level. 13. Negative correlations or linear regressions between delayed planting and the number of days from sowing to germination. accumulated temperature during germination period, number of days to heading, accumulated temperature to heading, plant height, stem diameter, stalk weight, Brix %. sugar content, refinable sugar yield or Purity % were obtained. On the other hand, highly positive correlations between the number of days from sowing to heading(x) and Brix %, sugar content, purity %, refinable sugar yield, plant height or stalk yield, between Brix %(x) and purity %, refinable sugar yield or stalk yield, between sugar content(x) and purity% or refinable sugar yield(y), between purity %(x) and refinable sugar yield and between daylength at heading(x) and Brix %. number of days from sowing to heading, sugar content, purity % or refinable sugar yield (y), were found, respectively. Experiment II: The 11 varieties were selected out of the varieties used in Experiment I from ecological and genetic viewpoints. Complete diallel cross were made among them and the heading date, stalk length, stalk yield, Brix %, syrup yield, combining ability and genetic behavior of F$_1$ plants and their parental varieties were investigated. The results could be summarized as follows: 1. In general, number of days to heading showed a partial dominance over earliness or late maturity or had a mid-value, though there were some specific combinations showing a complete dominance or transgressive segregation in maturity. Some combinations showed relatively high general or specific combining abilities in maturity. Therefore, a 50 to 50 segregation ratio in heading date could be estimated in this study and it might be positive to have a selection in early generation since heritability of the character was relatively high. 2. A vigorous hybrid vigor was observed in stalk length. A complete or partial dominant effect of long stalk was obtained. The general combining ability and specific combining ability of stalk length were generally high. Long and short stalks segregated in a ratio of 50:50 and its heritability was relatively low. 3. Except for several specific combinations, high stalk yield seemed to be partial dominant over the low yield. Some varieties demonstrated relatively high general as well as specific combining abilities. It was assumed that several recessive genes were involved in expression of this character. The interaction among regulating recessive genes was also obtained. Accordingly, the heritability of stalk yield seemed to be rather low. 4. The Brix % of hybrid plants located around mid-parental value though some of them showed much higher or lower percentage. It could be explained by the fact that such behavior might be due to partial dominance of Brix %. The varieties with, relatively higher Brix % were high both in general. and specific combining abilities. Therefore, it could be recommended to use the varieties having higher sugar content in order to develop higher-sugar varieties. 5. The syrup yield seemed to be transgressively segregated or completely dominant over low yield. Hybrid vigor of syrup yield was relatively high. No-consistent relationship between general combining ability and specific combining ability was observed. However, some cases demonstrated that the varieties with relatively higher general combining ability had relatively lower specific combining ability. It was assumed that the frequencies of dominant and recessive alleles were almost same.
실험 I. : 본 실험은 단수수에 대하여 재배시기를 이동함에 따르는 실용 제형질의 변화를 구명하기 위하여 1968~1969년까지 2개년에 거쳐 작물시험장 특용작물 연구실(수원)에서 시행되었으며 품종은 조만생, 초형, Syrup형, Sugar형 등 생태적 특성을 달리한 17개품종이 공시되었으며 묘종기 양년 모두 4월 5일부터 8월 25일까지 20일 간격으로 8회에 걸쳐 파종하여 조사한 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 발아기(발아일수)는 파종기를 앞당겨 저온하에 파종하면 발아에 소요되는 일수가 많고 파종기가 늦어서 기온이 상승됨에 따라 발아 일수가 직선적으로 단축되다가 8월 25일 이후의 파종부터는 다시 지연되는 경향이었다. 발아기간의 일평균온도와 발아일수간에는 높은 부상관관계가 있으나 이와는 반대로 발아일수와 적산온도간에는 고도의 정상관이 인정되었다. 2. 파종기의 지연에 따라 출수일수는 거의 직선적으로 단축된다. 공시된 품종간에 평균출수일수차는 30.2일이란 큰 차이가 있었다. 이들을 10일간격으로 조, 중, 만생군으로 구별하면 조생군은 평균출수일수가 78.5$\pm$4.5일범위에 속하고 중생군은 88.5$\pm$4.5일, 만생군은 98.5$\pm$4.5일로 되었다. 출수단축한계 종종기는 조생군이 제VI-VII파종기인 7월 15일$\pm$8월 5일까지이고 중생군은 제VI파종기인 7월 15일까지, 만생군은 제IV파종기인 6월 5일까지이었다. 3. 파종기(x)와 출수까지의 일수(y)와의 회귀직선식 y=a+bx의 손수(출수까지의 일수의 단축율)와 평균출수까지의 일수와는 고도의 정상관관계가 있었다. 4. 파종에서 출수기까지의 생육경과에 있어서 일평균기온이 높을수록 출수일수가 단축되어 조생종은 24.2$^{\circ}C$에서, 중생종은 23.8$^{\circ}C$에서, 만생종은 22.9$^{\circ}C$에서 최대단축율을 보이었고 따라서 출수전 30일간의 평균기온이 약 22$^{\circ}C$부터 $25^{\circ}C$에 이르기까지 가속적으로 출수소요일수가 단축되다가 그뒤 약 21$^{\circ}C$이하가 됨에 따라 다시 지연되는 경향이었다. 5. 초장의 절대치는 품종간에 차이는 있으나 비교적 조파구간에는 초장에 큰 변이가 없었고 파종기가 늦어짐에 따라 짧아졌다. 초장의 신장속도는 파종기가 늦어짐에 따라 현저하게 빨라지고 특히 조생종이 만생종보다 더욱 가속적인 경향이었다. 따라서 최고초장과 최저초장과의 절대치의 차이는 조생종일수록 적고 만생종일수록 큰 격차를 보이었다. 6. 간직경에 있어서도 만생종은 일반적으로 조기파종할수록 굵고, 조생종과 중생종은 4월 25일 파종기가 가장 굵은 편이며 이보다 파종기가 지연 가늘어지는 경향이었다. 7. 간중은 품종의 조만생에 따라 약간의 차이는 있으나 대체로 적기(4월 25일~5월 15일)보다 조기 혹은 만기 파종하면 작아지나 파종기 이동에 따른 간중의 변화는 품종의 조만성에 따라 양상을 달리하여 조생종은 4월 25일 내외, 중생종은 4월 25일~5월 15일 내외, 만생종은 4월 5일~5월 15일 내외의 파종기에서 최고수량에 달하고 이후 직선적으로 감소하였다. 8. Brix 도는 품종에 따라 절대치가 다르며 또한 파종기가 5월 15일 이후로 늦어짐에 따라 직선적으로 감소되어 파종기(x)와 Brix 도(y) 간에 고도의 부상관관계를 볼 수 있었다. 9. 출수후 40~45일경의 절간부위별 Brix 도는 상부 제 1~제3절간 부위가 최고에 달하고, 제4절간부터 서서히 낮아지다가 지상 제2절부위에 가서 다시 약간 높아지는 경향이었다. 그러나 출수전까지는 이와 반대의 경향이었다. 10. 간중당분에 대한 파종기별 축적상황은 파종기가 지연됨에 따라 거의 직선적으로 낮아지며 품종에 따라 차이는 있으나 6월하순 이후의 파종기는 당원료작물로서 거의 무가치한 낮은 함량을 나타내었다. 11. Brix도 및 간중당분은 출수기부터 축적이 시작되어 출수후 약 40~45일에 최고에 달하고 순당율도 같은 경향으로 생육의 진전과 더불어 높아져서 순당율과 Brix 도간, 순당율과 간중당분간에 각각 높은 정의 상관관계가 존재한다. 12. 가제당량과 파종기간의 관계를 보면 중생종과 만생종은 4월 25일, 중생종은 5월 15일 파종기가 최고에 달하고 이보다 파종이 지연됨에 따라 급격히 감소되는 경향으로 파종기(x)와 가제당량(y)사이에 1% 이상의 높은 부의 상관을 보았다. 13. 파종기 및 제형질간의 상호관계를 보면 파종기가 지연됨에 따라 발아일수, 발아기간의 적산온도, 출수일수, 출수일수까지의 적산온도, 초장, 간직경, 간중, Brix 도, 간중당분, 순당율, 가제당량 등은 모두 고도의 부상관 및 회귀관계이었고 출수일수(x)와 Brix도, 당도, 순당율, 가제당량, 초장, 간장(y)등 간, Brix 도(x)와 순당율, 가제당량, 간중(x)과 가제당량(y)간, 또한 출수시의 일장(x)과 Brix 도, 출수일수, 당도, 순당율, 가제당량(y) 등 간에는 고도의 정상관을 인정할 수 있었다. 실험 II: 실험 I에 공시된 품종중에서 생태 및 유전적으로 다른 11품종만을 이면교배법에 의하여 교잡된 F$_1$ 및 교배친의 출수기, 간장, 간중, Brix 도 및 Syrup yield 등에 대하여 우성정도, 교배조합능력 및 유전분석을 한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 출수기는 조, 만숙방향으로 완전 혹은 초월우성인 특정조합이 있기는 하나 대체적으로 중간성 및 부분우성이었고 GCA 및 SCA가 높은 특정조합친을 인정할 수 있었다. 따라서 출수에 관여하는 유전인자의 분배비는 50:50으로 추정되었으며 유전력도 높아서 초기세대부터 선발이 가능할 것으로 본다. 2. 간장은 잡종강세도가 높았으며 장간의 방향으로 초월성인 특정조합도 있으나 완전 혹은 부분우성으로 추정된다. GCA 및 SCA는 일반적으로 높은 편이었으며 관여된 우성 및 열성유전자는 거의 50:50으로 분배되며 유전력은 낮았다. 3. 간중은 대부분 정의 방향(다수)으로 완전우성에 가까운 부분우성으로 작용하나 특정조합에 따라 초월우성인 것과 부분우성인 것이 있었다. GCA와 SCA는 비교적 높은 교배친을 인정할 수 있으며 유전자의 작용방향은 열성유전자가 많이 관여되고 복잡한 분리가 일어날 것으로 추정되며 유전력은 비교적 낮았다. 4. Brix 도에 대한 우성정도 및 방향은 교배조합에 따라 고 Brix 및 저 Brix로 나타났으나 일반적으로 초우성 내지 완전우성으로 나타났고 GCA 및 SCA는 Brix 도가 높은 품종일수록 높은 경향이므로 고당성 육종에는 역시 높은 당분함량을 가진 교배친이 유리할 것으로 추정된다. 5. Syrup 종에 대한 우성정도는 많은 방향으로 초월 혹은 완전우성으로 추정되며 잡종강세도는 대단히 높았다. GCA와 SCA의 관계는 일정하지 않으며 GCA가 높은 품종은 SCA가 낮은 경향이었다. 교배친의 우성대립인자 대 열성대립인자의 빈도는 거의 동수로 나타날 것으로 추정된다.
