Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the role of phytohormones in the bulbing of garlic in order to assess the yield and quality. The effect on endogenous plant hormones such as gibberellin (GA) content was also examined during growth stage i.e. clove differentiation to bulbing in garlic. More than 18 gibberellins in garlic were identified with extensive gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring (GC-MS-SIM) quantitative analysis. The results showed that GAs were biosynthesized by both non C-13 hydroxylation pathway (NCH) and early C-13 hydroxylation pathway (ECH) in garlic plant. It was also revealed that NCH pathway leading to synthesis of bioactive $GA_4$ was the more prominent GA biosynthesis pathway than ECH pathway in which bioactive $GA_1$ was synthesized. Total GAs level was gradually increased from clove differentiation to bulbing and later decreased, which portrays the active role of GA in differentiation. The biosynthesis ratio of bioactive $GA_4$ and $GA_1$ concentration was similar to that of total GAs content, which was closely related with bulb development in garlic.

마늘의 안정적 수량 확보와 품질향상 방안을 모색하고자 마늘의 인경 비대에 관여하는 요인을 구명하기 위해 본 연구를 수행하였다. 한지형 마늘의 인편 분화기에서 인편 비대 최성기까지 식물체내 호르몬 함량의 변화를 조사하여 생육 특성과의 연관성을 구명한 결과는 다음과 같다. 마늘 식물체(엽신과 엽초)의 GA 함량을 GC-MS로 동정한 결과 마늘 식물체에서 18종 이상의 GA를 확인하였다. GA 함량은 마늘에 고등식물체에서 주로 존재하는 두 생합성 경로가 모두 존재하는 것으로 확인되었으며, 생리활성 $GA_4$를($7.25ng{\cdot}g^{-1}$ D.W.) 생합성 하는 non C-13 hydroxylation pathway(NCH)가 $GA_1$을($2.97ng{\cdot}g^{-1}$ D.W.) 생합성 하는 early C-13 hydroxylation pathway (ECH) 보다 우세한 것으로 조사되었다. 한지형 의성마늘 인경 분화 및 비대 시 식물체내 호르몬 변화를 조사한 결과 total GA 함량은 인편 분화기부터 비대개 시기까지 점진적으로 증가하다가 인경이 비대되는 동안 점차 감소하였다. 생리활성 GA인 $GA_4$$GA_1$의 함량은 총 GA 함량과 같은 경향으로 변화하여 인경 비대와 밀접한 연관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 마늘 생장 양상과 엽초의 호르몬 변화 양상은 유사한 경향을 보여 엽초의 호르몬 변화가 마늘 생장과 밀접한 연관이 있음을 보여주었다.
