Abstract
To clarify the possibility of plant production under red, green. blue, and red+blue using light emitting diodes (LEDs) and fluorescent lamps (control), the effects of light quality on the growth and morphogenesis of in vitro seedlings in Piatycodon grandiflorum were examined. The plantlets grown under the LEDs resulted in taller plants with greater stem than fluorescent lamps. The shortest shoot length, 3.8 cm, was observed in the control and the longest one, 13.4 cm, in the red light. But the shoot length was 5.6 cm under red LED with supplemental blue(red+blue light). This results indicate that red LED may be suitable, in proper combination with other wavelengths of light. The root length under red light was significantly smaller among the treatments. The plantlets grown under red+blue light had lower shoot dry weight, higher dry matter than other lights-grown plantlets. Among the various growth parameters measered, there was an indication that leaf area was controlled by the LEDs. Leaf area of a plantlets developing under green light was about 2.4 times wider than that of plantlets grown under red LED (10.1 $\textrm{cm}^2$ in area). The dry matter rate per plantlet among the treatments was greater in plantlets grown under the red/blue LEDs in comparison with that grown under other LEDs. Chlorophyll contents in plantlets grown under the red, green, blue and red/blue LEDs were 2%, 7% 20% and 10% lower, respectively, than those in plant grown under fluorescent lamps.
발광다이오우드 (Light emitting diode)를 사용한 적색, 녹색 및 청색광에서 식물생산의 가능성을 조사하기 위하여 도라지 유묘의 생장과 형태형성에 미치는 광질의 효과와 광질에 따른 엽록소함량을 형광등과 비교하여 조사하였다. 식물체의 초장은 형광등에서 3.8 cm로 가장 짧았고 LEDs 에서 생장한 것은 적색광에서 13.4cm로 가장 길었다. 반면에 적색/청색의 혼합광은 5.6cm로 적색 단색광에서 식물체가 도장된 것에 비해 정상적인 식물체의 생장양상을 보여 적색과 청색의 혼합광이 식물체의 생장에 적당하였다. 엽면적은 녹색광에서 24.1 $\textrm{cm}^2$로서 적색광에서 10.1 $\textrm{cm}^2$인 것에 비하여 약 2.4 배가 더 넓어 다른 처리구에 비하여 가장 양호하였다. 건물률은 적색/청색의 혼합광에서 15.3%를 나타내어 다른 광질처리보다 함수율이 적었다. 엽록소함량은 청색 단색광과 적색/청색의 혼합광에서 형광등보다 각각 20%, 10% 적었으나 적색과 녹색의 경우 각각 2%, 7% 적었는데 적색 단색광에서 형광등과 비슷한 엽록소 함량을 보였다.
