품종에 따른 키위나무 눈과 가지의 내한성 비교

초록

In Korea kiwifruit growing area is limited to southern coastal region and Jeju island, partly due to the lack of information on their cold hardiness in winter. This study was carried out to investigate cold hardiness of Korean kiwifruit cultivars in a period of dormancy for using it as preliminary data to expand the cultivation area of kiwifruit in Korea. A total of five kiwifruit cultivars in two species and hybrid, Actinidia deliciosa (‘Hayward’ and ‘Garmrok’), A. chinensis (‘Goldone’) and A. arguta hybrid (‘Bangwoori’ and ‘Skinny Green’) were subjected to five freezing treatments of -12℃, -15℃, -18℃, -21℃ and -24℃. Cell membrane damage in all cultivars initiated in -18℃/32h and cell membrane stability was lost in -24℃ in most cultivars, except for ‘Skinny Green’. Cold hardiness was estimated by 50% lethal temperature (LT50) which was determined by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) reduction. In branches, LT50 was -15℃ in ‘Hayward’ and ‘Garmrok’, -18℃ in ‘Bangwoori’ and -21℃ in ‘Goldone.’ The LT50 of buds on ‘Hayward’ and ‘Garmrok’ was 56 and 42 hours in -15℃ and 4 and 11 hours in -18℃, respectively; however, LT50 of buds on ‘Goldone’ was 51 hours in -18℃ and that on ‘Bangwoori’ was 3 hours in -24℃. Cold hardiness results imply that it may be difficult for cultivars in A. deliciosa such as ‘Hayward’ and ‘Garmrok’ to be grown in the north of southern coastal region in Korea; however, it can be possible for several cultivars in A. chinensis and A. arguta hybrid to be grown in the northern part of Korean kiwifruit belt if cold tolerance in the thaw is confirmed.
