Sequence diversity was accumulated through evolution and breeding process. A set of 595 PCR-based novel insertion/deletion (InDel) markers was designed in order to widen the genetic basis for national rice breeding programs. The markers were generated by analyzing of 40 Korean cultivars and published genome sequences of rice(Oryza sativa L. spp japonica). We selected 112 markers spread across all rice chromosomes among the 595 InDel markers, and they showed polymorphic between rice cultivars, which are 284 Korean japonica and Tongil varieties. Due to their simplicity in design and robustness in genotyping, these InDel markers have been routinely used in quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping studies and marker assisted selection programs for rice. Moreover, the PCR amplification type of InDel markers was converged to digital code, 0 or 1 and then finally represented as one- and two dimensional bar-code system, which could easily differentiate genetically highly homologous japonica rice cultivars. The developed InDel markers uniquely discriminated among each of the Korean cultivars. Therefore, the systems we developed may be valuable tools in discrimination from cultivars

Agronomic characteristics of transgenic herbicide-resistant rice lines were evaluated under field condition. Differences in agronomic traits and rice quality were observed between transgenic plants and the corresponding untransformed controls. Transgenic Ilpumbyeo lines flowered earlier than untransformed controls, whereas transgenic Nagdongbyeo flowered at the same time as untransformed control. With regard to the yield and rice quality, most of the transgenic lines showed lower yield than control except some selected transgenic lines. Selected Nagdongbyeo transgenic line also showed good eating quality comparable to the control although most selected Ilpumbyeo transgenic lines showed slightly lower eating quality and increased white center/belly in the rice grain. In order to find the main factor leading to somaclonal variation among transgenic lines, Tos17, a rice retrotransposon activated by prolonged tissue culture period was investigated. Although the transgenic lines carried only one or two of transformed bar gene, the copy number of Tos17 increased in most transgenic lines compared with control. The activation of Tos17 was not detected in selected promising transgenic lines such as ND115-15-1-B and IP23-3-3, suggesting that the increased copy number of Tos17 may have negatively affected agronomic characteristics of transgenic rice.
