| Abstract:
Since Chinese Shandong garlic is officially cultivated in Korea, abnormal growth of a leaf blade was confirmed. Abnormal leaf blades occur because the leaf blade is not completely expanded and a part of a leaf blade is attached, thus forming cylindrical leaf blades. If a part of a leaf blade becomes cylindrical leaf blades, the leaf blade develops with curled leaves with cylindrical leaf blades and becomes an obstacle to overall growth. Abnormal growth of a leaf blade appeared every year. The abnormal leaf blades are formed in the first-fifth phyllode starting from a flag leaf (the final leaf). The occurrence of abnormal cylindrical leaf blades by leaf position and the occurrence in their progeny were a change in reproducibility. It is considered that this abnormal growth is a physiological phenomenon involved in unbalanced harmony between the environmental factors and the hereditary cultivar characteristics. | |
