Comparision of Cation-Anion Balance in Leaves on the Stalk Positions of Young Tobacco Plant

담배식물(植物)의 엽서별(葉序別) 이온균형(均衡) 비교(比較)

These studies were investigated ionic balance of leaves from different stalk positions of tobacco plant (cv. NC82) grown on pots supplied with nitrate salts solution in the phytotrone. The results of studies are summerized as follows: 1. In comparision with the leaves along the stalk positions, lower position contained higher proportion of total cation and total anion including organic acid, but their concentration lessened gradually at the upper stalk. The ratio in amounts of inorganic cations and anions in leaf laminae depended on their stalk positon, being more than three times in the fifth, but becoming about 1.3 in the tenth. 2. Inorganic cations in the laminae were mostly $K^+$, $Ca^{{+}{+}}$, and $Mg^{{+}{+}}$, comprising about 80% of total with the first two regardless of their stalk positions. Among these two ions $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ tended to become higher at lower stalks, while $K^+$ was higher in younger and became lower when leaves got older and/or more number of leaves were emerged. 3. Total cations were balanced with inorganic and organic acid anions. Composition of inorganic and organic anions were different along stalk positions, ionic balance was governed by organic acid anions dominantly in older leaves, but by inorganic anions in the younger leaves. 4. The discrepancy in the balance between total cations and anions was more pronounced in the older leaves containing higher amount of cations and organic acids. It was suggested that discrepancy was due to precipitation of oxalate as Ca-salt which was not dissolved in the methylation solution of measurement employed.

1. 질산염영양액(窒酸鹽營養液)으로 관수(灌水)하여 재배(栽培)한 담배식물(cv. NC82)의 엽서별(葉序別) 이온균형(均衡)을 조사(調査)한 결과(結果) 무기양(無機陽)이온과 무기음(無機陰)이온의 총량(總量)은 출엽순서별(出葉順序別)로 차이(差異)가 있어 하위엽(下位葉)에서는 무기양(無機陽)이온이 무기음(無機陰)이온보다 3배(倍)이상 차이(差異)(5차엽(次葉))를 보이나 상위(上位)의 어린잎(10차엽(次葉))에서는 1.3배(倍)로 떨어졌다. 2. 양(陽)이온의 대부분은 $K^+$, $Ca^{{+}{+}}$, $Mg^{{+}{+}}$이었으며 K+Ca는 출엽(出葉)된 모든 잎에서 양(陽)이온의 80%정도로 일정한 비율이 유지되었다. 그 구성비율(構成比率)은 오랜잎일수록 $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ 높고 엽령(葉齡)이 커질수록 증가(增加)하나, 어린잎 쪽에서는 $K^+$의 비율이 높으며 엽령(葉齡)에 따라 점차 낮아지는 경향이었다. 3. 양(陽)이온총량(總量)은 무기음(無機陰)이온과 유기산(有機酸) 음(陰)이온으로 이온균형(均衡)이 유지(維持)되었으며 하엽(下葉)에서는 유기산(有機酸) 음(陰)이온에 의존(依存)한 이온균형(均衡)이 무기음(無機陰)이온보다 컸으나 상엽(上葉)으로 갈수록 점차 반대 경향으로 나타났다. 4. 이온총량(總量)이 큰 하엽(下葉)에서는 양음(陽陰)이온 총량(總量) 차이(差異)가 나타났으나 상엽(上葉)에서는 균형(均衡)이 거의 유지(維持)되었다. 하엽(下葉)의 이온총량차(總量差)는 일부(一部) 유기산석회염(有機酸石灰鹽)이 침전(沈澱)되어서 수산(蓚酸)이 검출되지 않았기 때문인 것 같다.
