Abstract

This study was carried out to know the effect of light intensity, temperature and $CO_2$ concentration on photosynthesis and transpiration in yacon(Polymnia sonchifolia Poepp.& Endl.). Light compensation point was ${58\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}}$and light saturation point was ${1708\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}}$. Transpiration rate was increased to about 4 mmol${m^{-2}\;s^{-1}}$ with increasing of light intensity to ${2193\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}}$. The optimum temperature for photosynthesis was ${24^{\circ}C}$ in air. Photosynthesis was gradually reduced as transpiration rate increased from 4 to 8 mmol ${m^{-2}\;s^{-1}}$ in different air temperature. $CO_2$ compensation point was 63 vpm and $CO_2$ saturation point was 1155 vpm and light saturation point was enhanced with increasing of $CO_2$ concentration from 350 vpm to 1300 vpm.

본 연구는 야콘의 광합성 효율증진을 위한 기상환경 조건을 규명하여 재배적지의 선정과 재배관리에 대한 기초적 자료를 제공하고자 광도와 온도, 그리고 $CO_2$의 농도에 대한 광합성과 증산량을 조사하였다. 광 보상점은 ${58\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}}$이었고, 포화점은 ${1708\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}}$이었다, 증산량은 광도가 증가할수록 높아져 광도 ${2193\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}}$에서 약 4 mmol ${m^{-2}\;s^{-1}}$간에 이르렀다. 광합성의 최적온도는 ${24^{\circ}C}$였으며, 온도의 변화에 의하여 증산량이 4 mmol ${m^{-2}\;s^{-1}}$에서 8 mmol ${m^{-2}\;s^{-1}}$까지 증가하였을 때 광합성은 오히려 감소하는 경향이었다. 이산화탄소 보상점은 63 mol mol ${m^{-2}\;s^{-1}}$이었고, 포화점은 1155 vpm이었으며, 이산화탄소 농도가 350vpm에서 1300vpm까지 증가함에 따라 광포화점은 높아졌다.
