봄보리 1.5엽기에 흰가루 병균을 접종하여 병진전에 따른 엽내전분함량변화를 측정하였다. 1.5엽기에 접종하였을 때 감수성 품종 Peruvian과 성체식물저항성 품종 Asse에서 상이한 전분축적양상을 보였다. 감염초기에서는 두 품종 모두 전분함량에 다소 변화가 있었다. 병반형성과 포자형성 동안 감수성 품종 Peruvian에서 전분함량감소가 뚜렷하였으나 Asse에서는 병반형성 동안 증가하였고 세포형성전후에 급격히 감소하였다. 감염이 심한 1.5엽에서 Peruvian은 급격한 전분감소를 보였으나 Asse는 감염강도에 관계없이 감염잎에 높은 전분함량을 유지하였다. 봄 보리의 성체식물저항성과 연관시켜 상이한 발육시기에서 흰가루병 감염된 잎의 전분축적역할을 논하였다.
Starch contents in healthy and powdery mildew-infected spring barley leaves at first and fifth leaf stages were measured at different intervals after inoculation. Different patterns of starch accumulation in the susceptible cultivar Peruvian and the adult plant resistant cultivar Asse were found in infected first and fifth leaves. At the early phase of infection, the amount of starch in infected first leaves was slightly changed in both cultivars. During colony development and sporulation, the decrease in starch content was .more marked in the susceptible Peruvian, whereas the amounts of starch in the adult plant resistant Asse increased during colony development and then decreased sharply before and after sporulation. In heavily infected first leaves, the susceptible cultivar Peruvian showed a drastic decrease in starch content. In the adult plant resistant cultivar Asse, the higher amount of starch retained in these infected leaves, regardless of infection intensity. The regulation of starch accumulation in mildewed barley plants at different leaf stages was discussed in relation to adult plant resistance of spring barley.
