Abstract

As an abiotic stress, chilling stress is one of the major factors limiting plant growth and increasing susceptibility to pathogens. Therefore, enhancing stress tolerance in plants is an important strategy for their survival under unfavorable environmental conditions. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of the exogenous application of salicylic acid (SA) or nitric oxide (NO) on chilling tolerance in pepper seedlings. Pepper (Capsicum annuum L. 'kidaemanbal') seedlings were grown under normal growing conditions ($20/25^{\circ}C$, 15 hours photoperiod, $145{\pm}5{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, fluorescence lamps) for 23 days after transplanting. The solution (3 mL) of 1 mM SA and 0.3 mM NO with surfactant triton 0.1% were sprayed two times a week, respectively. Right after the completion of chemical application, seedlings were subjected to chilling condition at $4^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours under dark condition and then the seedlings were recovered at the normal growing conditions for 2 days. In order to assess plant tolerance against chilling stress, growth characteristics, chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm), and membrane permeability were determined after chilling stress imposition. Total phenolic concentration and antioxidant capacity were measured during the whole experimental period. Disease incidence for pepper bacterial spot and wilt was also analyzed. Pepper seedlings treated with SA or NO were maintained similar dry mass ratio, while the value in control increased caused by chilling stress suggesting relatively more water loss in control plants. Electrolyte leakage of pepper seedlings treated with SA or NO was lower than that of control 2 days after chilling treatment. Fv/Fm rapidly decreased after chilling stress in control while the value of SA or NO was maintained about 0.8. SA increased higher total phenolic concentration and antioxidant capacity than NO and control during chemical treatment. In addition, increase in total phenolic concentration was observed after chilling stress in control and NO treatment. SA had an effect on the reduction of bacterial wilt in pepper seedlings. The results from this study revealed that pre-treatment with SA or NO using foliar spray was effective in chilling tolerance and the reduction of disease incidence in pepper seedlings.

저온은 식물 생장을 저해하는 주된 요인이며 병원균에 대한 감수성을 증가시킨다. 그러므로 식물체에서 스트레스 내성을 증대시키는 것은 불리한 환경 조건에서 살아남기 위한 중요한 전략이다. 본 실험의 목적은 고추 묘에서 저온 내성과 식물병 발생에 대한 외생 살리실산(SA)과 일산화질소(NO) 처리의 효과를 밝히는 것이다. 정식 후 23일 동안 고추 묘(Capsicum annuum L. '기대만발')는 온도 $20/25^{\circ}C$(낮/밤), 광주기 15시간, 광도 $145{\pm}5{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$의 정상적인 생육환경에서 자랐다. 1주일에 2번 계면활성제 0.1%를 포함한 SA와 NO 3mL을 고추 묘에 각각 분사해주었다. 처리 후 고추 묘는 암 상태에서 6시간 동안 $4^{\circ}C$ 저온에 노출시킨 후 정상적인 생육환경에서 2일 동안 회복시켜주었다. 저온 스트레스에 대한 식물 내성을 평가하기 위해 저온 처리 후 생육특성, 엽록소 형광 값, 세포막 투과성을 측정하였다. 총 페놀릭 농도와 항산화도는 실험하는 동안 측정하였다. 또한, 고추의 점무늬병과 풋마름병 발생 정도도 조사하였다. 저온 처리 전 후를 비교하여 대조구 고추묘에서는 저온에 의해 상대적으로 많은 수분을 손실하여 건물율이 높지만 SA와 NO 처리 된 고추 묘는 비슷한 건물율을 유지하였다. 저온 처리 후 대조구에 비해 SA와 NO 처리구의 전해질 유출 값은 더 낮았다. 저온 처리 동안 SA와 NO 처리구의 엽록소 형광값은 약 0.8 수준으로 유지하였지만 대조구는 빠르게 감소하였다. 화학적 처리 동안 SA 처리구의 총 페놀릭 농도와 항산화도는 NO 처리구보다 높았다. 또한 저온 처리 후 대조구와 NO 처리구의 총 페놀릭 농도는 증가하였다. 고추에서 풋마름병에 대한 저항성은 SA가 보다 효과적이었다. 본 실험의 결과는 SA와 NO의 외생처리는 고추 묘의 저온 내성을 증대시켰고 병 발생 정도를 감소시키는 데 효과적이었음을 보여준다.
