Brown leaf spot, caused by necrotrophic Cochliobolus miyabeanus (imperfect; Bipolaris oryzae), is one of the devastating disease in rice (Oryza sativa). Especially, recommended agricultural system such as diminishing fertilizer and environmental alteration like temperature increment result in the favorable conditions for the outbreak of this disease. Lack of water supply also requires drought-tolerant rice cultivar. We hypothesized that regulation of programmed cell death (PCD) should be a common solution conferring resistance and tolerance against above biotic and abiotic stresses at the same time. Among 17 CYCLIC NUCLEOTIDE-GATED ION CHANNEL in rice (OsCNGCs), over expression of a CNGC resulted in lesion mimic phenotypes in Dongjin background. Further, knock out of a CNGC resulted in enhanced resistance against rice brown spot in the field. These results indicate that selected OsCNGC should be involved in the PCD regulation and fungal infection-specific regulation of OsCNGC expression might induce resistance against rice brown spot because of pathogen’s necrotrophic nature. Vitamin E, tocopherol, is involved in the accumulation inhibition of reactive oxygen species involving superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. Tocopherol cyclase in Nicotiana benthamiana (NtTC), which is included in tocopherol systhesis, conferred tolerance against drought stress to rice. We already have settled down the recombination system effectively removing selection markers in vector. Based on these systems, we will define fungal secretome and genome, confirmation of PAMPs/effectors, identification of rice pattern recognition receptor, and functional characterization of these rice genes in the respect of PCD and disease resistance. We will also develop marker-free transgenic rice tolerant to drought and/or salinity stresses. These works should give us a bundle of rice genes conferring resistance and tolerance against biotic and abiotic stresses and amount of information useful for the analyses of common cross talk points between disease resistance and stress-tolerance.
