본 연구에서는 밀양23호의 배경에 O. glaberrima의 특정 염색체단편을 가지는 55 이입계통의 내건성 관련 형질을 조 사하여 변이를 검정하고 내건성이 향상된 4 계통을 선발하였 다. 특히 IL55는 유묘기, 영양생장기 그리고 생식생장기에서 반복친인 밀양23호에 비해 조사된 내건성 형질에서 우수한 특성을 보였으며 내건성 관련 유전자의 분석 및 교배모본으 로 이용될 수 있을 것이다. 이입계통들은 밀양23호의 유전적 배경에 각 계통마다 서로 다른 O. glaberrima 단편이 이입된 계통으로, 이 집단은 O. glaberrima에서 유래된 내재해성 및 작물학적으로 유용한 유전자의 탐색에 효율적인 도구가 될 것이다.
We generated 55 introgression lines via backcrosses using Milyang23 as the recurrent parent and Oryza glaberrima as the donor. 141 SSR markers were used to genotype 55 introgression lines. The 55 introgression lines with Milyang23 were evaluated for physiological traits; fresh shoot weight (FSW), fresh root weight (FRW) and dry shoot weight (DSW) under the control and 30% PEG-treated condition. Three lines showing significant difference with Milyang23 were selected for further analysis. Three lines had four, four and two O. glaberrima homozygous segments, respectively. IL9 performed better than Milyang23 in all traits measured in the 30% PEG-treated condition. IL9 possessed four O. glaberrima introgressions on chromosomes 1, 2, 6 and 7. IL12 performed better than Milyang23 in FSW and FRW. IL55 contains two O. glaberrima introgressions on chromosomes 2 and 6. Three lines shared the O. glaberrima segment delimited by markers RM133-RM225 at chromosomes 6. This region corresponds to the QTL region for drought tolerance reported by other previous studies. Although IL9 and IL12 showed improved drought tolerance at the seedling and vegetative stage, they performed poor under the drought stress at the reproductive stage implying that the level of drought tolerance differs according to the growth stage in rice. IL55 had significantly higher no. of the total grain than Milyang 23. This result seems to indicate that IL55 will be a good resource for drought tolerance breeding. The population would be useful in developing drought tolerant lines in the breeding program.
