CA 저장 마늘의 후대 생육과 피루브산 함량

The study was carried out to investigate the effect of CA storage on the growth of two garlic cultivars, ‘Namhae’ (the southern ecotype) and ‘Danyang’ (the northern ecotype). These cultivars were stored in controlled atmosphere (CA) condition, the combination of O2 and CO₂ were 1% and 5%, 1% and 10%, 3% and 5%, 3% and 10%, and the control was room temperature condition. After storing 120~135 days, the bulbs were seeded. Bulb weight and bulb diameter were higher in both ecotype cultivars in control than in other storage conditions. Among CA storage conditions, O2 3% + CO₂ 5% in ‘Namhae’ and O2 3% + CO₂ 10% in ‘Danyang’ were highest in bulb weight. Plant height and the number of leaves were highest at O2 3% + CO₂ 5% CA condition in ‘Namhae’ and room temperature storage of ‘Danyang’. Pyruvic acid content was highest at control in both cultivars. The difference of pyruvic acid contents among CA storage conditions was not significant. In conclusion, it was not recommendable to use as seeds those bulbs stored under CA conditions.
