This study was carried out to investigate the economic value of organic rice production using gelatin ․ chitin microorganisms in eco-friendly complex, Gongsan, Naju city. The soil condition of experiment paddy field was Jeonbuk series and silt loam with a slightly poor drainage. Except for the high effective silicate, the chemical characteristics of soils used were included in the optimum range of paddy soils in Korea. In growth, plant length, tiller number, ear number, and ear length were observed to be higher in conventional paddy fields than organic paddy fields. However, number of grain per panicle and grain filling ratio (%) were higher in organic paddy fields than conventional paddy fields. Incidences of diseases and insect pests were slightly higher in the organic paddy fields. Water weevil, sheath blight, rice leaf roller and rice blast were more occurred in organic paddy field. On the other hand, false smut was higher occurred in conventional paddy field. There was a significant negative correlation between rice sheath blight and rice leaf roller, and rice yield. In the milled rice quality, the quality of organically cultivated milled rices was lower by the increase of broken rice than that of conventionally cultivated milled rices. The quality and palatability of rice were higher in organic cultivation with decreasing of protein content. Net income of conventionally and organically cultivated rice was 360,000 won/10a and 610,000 won/10a, respectively. Premium net income of the organically cultivated rice was 68%.

Plant molecular farming has attracted a lot of attention lately in the field of mass production of industrially valuable materials by extending application of the plant as a kind of factory concept. Among them, protein expression system using rice(Oryza sativa L.) callus is a technology capable of mass culture and industrialization because of a high expression rate of a target protein. This study was carried out to develop an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system to increase the utilization of rice callus. The transformation efficiency was improved by using the hand when seeds were de-husked for callus induction. Furthermore, we were possible induction of callus from 6 years old seed smoothly. Selection of the callus contained the target gene was required a cultivation period of at least 3 weeks, and the most efficient selection period was after 6 weeks of culture including one passage. This selection was confirmed that the gene was stably inserted into the genomic DNA of the plant cell by the southern blot analysis and progeny test. Such an efficient selection system of rice callus that can be cultured in the long term will be contribute to the industrialization of useful recombinant proteins using rice.

The content of bioactive substances and antioxidative activity in conventionally grown brown rice (CGBR) and organically grown brown rice (OGBR) were compared. Minerals (mg/100 g) such as magnesium (OGBR, 168.59±2.62; CGBR, 121.43±2.22), copper (OGBR, 0.50±0.06; CGBR, 0.41±0.05), and manganese (OGBR, 4.70±0.04; CGBR, 2.49±0.02) were higher in OGBR than in CGBR (p<0.05). In addition, levels of (μg/100 g) vitamins B2 (OGBR, 27.22±2.56; CGBR, 22.12±2.24) and B6 (OGBR, 46.32±2.66; CGBR, 39.91±3.32) were higher in OGBR than in CGBR (p<0.05). The contents (mg/100 g) of β-sitosterol (OGBR, 27.40±2.79; CGBR, 24.75±1.06), total phenolic (OGBR, 6.72±0.02; CGBR, 6.64±0.02), and ferulic acid (OGBR, 1.75±0.45; CGBR, 1.11±0.14) as well as the antioxidative activity (OGBR, 53.09±1.90%; CGBR, 48.29±3.38%) evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging assay were higher in OGBR than in CGBR, although no significant differences between samples were observed. In comparison to the control group, brown rice samples significantly inhibited cholesteryl ester hydroperoxide formation in rat plasma subjected to copper ion-induced lipid peroxidation. The inhibitory effect of OGBR was higher than that of CGBR. These results indicate that OGBR showed higher levels of bioactive substances and enhanced antioxidative activity than CGBR, although the differences were not statistically significant.

This study was performed to verify the possibility of manufacturing a germinated aromatic rice tea, which was roasted at 200, 250, and 300℃ each for 10, 20, and 30 min. The roasted aromatic rice was analysed physicochemical properties, sensory characteristics and aromatic compounds. The total polyphenol content and DPPH radical scavenging activities of the germinated aromatic rice increased as the roasting temperature and time increased. Total soluble solid contents, turbidity and browning index of the germinated aromatic rice tea also increased was the roasting temperature and roasting time increased. The pH did not change by roasting. The main aromatic components in roasted germinated aromatic rice tea were 2-methyl butanal, 3-methyl butanal, benzaldehyde and nonanal, which increased according to increasing temperature and time. However, those favorable aroma components were decreased at more than 300℃ of roasting temperature. In addition, methyl benzene, pentanol were increased which affect odor aroma. The sensory score of germinated aromatic rice tea also increased with high roasting temperature and time. However, aromatic rice roasted at a higher temperature (300℃) showed lower sensory score. Therefore roasting temperature and time must be controlled for manufactureing high quality of germinated aromatic rice tea, and the optimun roasting conditions were 250℃ and 30 min, which provide best physicochemical characteristics of aromatic rice tea.

The amylose contents of rice determine eating quality which is one of the major traits in rice breeding program. To identify the low-amylose gene of the japonica rice cultivar Baegjinju, genetic analysis was conducted using 200 F2 population derived from a cross between the japonica cultivars, Saeilmi and Baegjinju. Individual F2 plants were classified as wild type (translucent grain) and mutant type (dull grain) based on the grain appearance of brown rice. Two hundred F2 plants were segregated into 155 wild type plants and 45 mutant type plants, which fit the 3:1 ratio (x2 = 0.667, df = 1, p = 0.414) and this result indicated the low-amylose gene of Baegjinju is a single recessive gene which controls the amylose contents. Linkage analysis was conducted to localize the low-amylose gene of Baegjinju and fine mapped within an 800-kb interval between 17.5 to 18.8Mb on short arm of chromosome 10. Co-segregated SSR marker, RM25648 was developed and it could be useful for marker-assisted selection and determination of the genetic resource related with amylose contents in rice breeding.

Rice bran has been reckoned as a potential source of edible oil contained 15-20 % of oil, in its natural state, also contains several constituents of potential significance in diet and health. Interest has focused primarily upon gamma-oryzanol, tocotrienols, and tocopherols, all of which demonstrate antioxidant properties. We analyzed the transcriptome profiles for rice grain from high and low oil content lines at the early milky stage using the Illumina sequencing method. This analysis indicated that many transcripts showed different expressions level between high and low oil content rice. The functional classification of those genes indicated their connection with various metabolic pathways, oil transport, signal transduction, transcriptional regulation, and other processes. The results obtained here will enable to understand how changes in oil concentration or availability are interpreted into adaptive responses in early milky stage of rice. Based on the functional annotation of the differentially expressed genes, the possible processes that regulate these expressed transcripts in rice grain was further analyzed. The candidate transcripts may provide genetic resources that may be useful in the improvement of oil contents of rice.

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is one of the important abiotic factors limiting rice productivity world-wide and also a widespread nutritional disorder affecting human health. Zinc is one of the most important essential micronutrient for human About thirty percentage world’s population doesn’t still get enough zinc through their diets. As a staple food of over half world’s population, rice should take the responsibility to provide much more zinc in the future. We analyzed the transcriptome profiles for rice grain from high zinc content and low zinc content lines at the early milky stage using the Illumina Sequencing method. The analysis results for the sequencing data indicated that many transcripts showed different expressions between high zinc content and low zinc content in early milky stage of rice and RT-qPCR analyses confirmed the expression patterns of selected transcripts. Functional analysis of the differentially expressed transcripts indicated that genes have functional annotation and their functions are mainly involved in oxidation-reduction, metabolic, transport , transcript regulation, defense response and photosynthetic processes. Based on the functional annotation of the differentially expressed genes, the possible process that regulates these differentially expressed transcripts in rice grain responding to Zinc at the early milky stage was further analyzed. The functional classification of those genes indicated their connection with various metabolic pathways, Zinc transport, signal transduction, transcriptional regulation, and other processes related to growth and development in early milky stage of rice. Using Illumina sequencing technology, the differences between the transcriptomes of high zinc content and low zinc content lines the early milky stage was described here for the first time. The candidate transcripts may provide genetic resources that may be useful in the improvement of Zinc concentration of rice. The model proposed here is based on differences in expression and transcription between two rice lines. In addition, the model may support future studies on the molecular mechanisms underlying plant responses to Zinc.

In the rice inflorescence development, timing of inflorescent meristem abortion, conversion of the rachis branch meristem to the terminal spikelet meristem and shift to lateral meristem identity determine the overall architecture of the rice panicle (keda-Kawakatsu et al. 2009). Cheng et al. (2011) reported that quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have major effects on panicle apical abortion in rice. However, there have been very few reports about panicle tip mutants. Therefore, this research is conducted to fine map mutant gene and perform functional analysis of mutant gen. Hwacheongbyeo (japonica rice) seed was treated with ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) for inducing mutation. Two F2 population (Japanica mutant crossed with wild type and Japanica mutant crossed with Milyang 23, Indica type) were established for Phenotyping and genomic analysis. STS markers in crop molecular Breeding laboratory. Additional STS markers for fine mapping were developed based on the Nipponbare genome sequence (http://rgp.dna.affrc.go.jp/blast/runblast.html). All F2 generations showed the segregation of normal plants and mutant following a ratio of 3:1 suggesting the mutant phenotype is caused by a single recessive gene. Initial BSA test made using STS markers confirmed the mutant gene is found in the long arm of chromosome 8. Panicle tip mutant gene, pnt has pleotropic effect which has been manifested in significant reduction of tiller development starting from late stage of vegetative growth and pronounced effect on possession of stay green nature of the rice during the vegetative stage of development. The only significant difference observed within panicle traits is the number of spikelet on primary branch and spikelet fertility. The first primary branch which contain aborted spikelet and elongated distance between spikelet is the most affected structure in the panicle.

For understanding the genetic diversity and genetic relationship between cultivated and weedy types, we evaluated genetic variation of 80 accessions of rice (O. Sativa). This included 42 cultivated accessions and 38 weedy accessions with the help of AFLP and CACTA-TD. A total of 542 loci were analyzed (255 for AFLP and 287 for CACTA-TD) of which AFLP markers exhibited 75% of polymorphism and transposon based CACTA-TD markers exhibited 93% of polymorphism. The average genetic diversity value for all 80 accessions, using AFLP markers was 0.226 (Cultivated – 0.210; Weedy 0.241) and based on CACTA-TD markers was 0.281 (Cultivated – 0.294; Weedy 0.269). A UPGMA phylogenetic tree revealed three major groups for both the marker system. The average polymorphic content value obtained with AFLP and CACTA-TD markers were 0.21 and 0.232, Effective multiplex ratio (AFLP – 47.50; CACTA-TD – 66.75), Marker Index (AFLP – 9.94; CACTA-TD – 21.13) and Resolving power (AFLP – 19.53; CACTA-TD – 34.62) indicated that the CACTA-TD markers were relatively efficient than AFLP markers.

The influence of rainfall during the ripening stage on pre-harvest sprouting, seed viability, and seed quality was investigated in two Korean rice cultivars, Shindongjin and Hopum. When the rainfall was artificially treated in a greenhouse, HP started to pre-harvest sprouting at three days of rainfall treatment (DRT), but Shindongjin did not show pre-harvest sprouting at 40 DAH treatment and just 0.3~0.8% at 50 DAH, which was much lower than 15.3~ 25.8% of Hopum in the same treatment. After harvest, the seed germination of Hopum decreased about 10~25% compared to non-treated seeds, but that of Shindongjin decreased much little rate than that of Hopum. The seed longevity tested by accelerated aging decreased with prolonged rainfall period in both cultivars, but the varietal difference was clear; Shindongjin could withstand longer accelerated aging than Hopum. Shindongjin maintained its germination (>50%) ability after 15 days of accelerated aging regardless of the rainfall treatment period and time, but Hopum dropped below 50% germination ability after only 5 days of accelerated aging. In conclusion, rainfall during the ripening stage induced not only pre-harvest sprouting, but also reduced seed quality and longevity during storage, which varied between two cultivars.

The White backed planthopper (WBPH), Sogatella furcifera (Horvath) is one of the serious insect pests in rice growing region in Asia. When rice is attacked by the insect it releases secondary metabolites for self-defense. In this study, we identified WBPH-mediated compounds from a cross ‘Cheongcheongbyeo/Nagdongbyeo’ doubled haploid (CNDH). The compounds were located in chromosome. Leaves and stem of CNDH lines were infected by 2∼3 insta of 3 weeks WBPH and samples were extracted by 90% methanol. Extracted compounds were analyzed through HPLC. TLC was used in separating the target compounds. QTL analysis of compound was done using winQTLcart 2.5 program. Chrysoeriol was highly contained in Cheongcheongbyeo. QTL location is found on chromosome by winQTLcart 2.5. QTL analcited with compound7 was detected on chromosome 4, 7 and 12. qFla4 was detected on chromosome 4 in RM280-RM6909 at LOD 3.5 with 30% of variation. qFla7 was detected on chromosome 7 in RM248-RM1134 with LOD 3.0 with 30% of variation. qFla12 was detected on chromosome 12 in RM1226-RM12 with LOD 2.7 with 40% of variation. Cochlioquinone was detected on chromosome8, qFla8 in RM23230-RM3689 with LOD 2.5 with 30% of variation. Chrysoeriol and Cochlioquinone separated to condition of (Chloroform: Methanol:1-Butanol:Water=4:5:6:4). Separated compounds were analyzed by LC/MS and NMR. These results, investigation is being done to ditermine how the secondary metabolites come lead to pathways of genes and its effect on WBPH relation.

The seed shattering played a key role in the crucial step of rice domestication. Because it has been important to increase the yield human had to select the rice varieties and species with low shattering degree. The shattering habit of rice is considered to be under the relatively simple genetic control compared with other characteristics related to domestication. Several recessive genes associated with the formation of an abscission layer, sh2, sh4 and sh-h on chromosomes 1, 3 and 7, have been reported. In addition, the grain shattering of rice is considered to be caused by seed abscission. The morphology of the abscission layer can differ in many different rice varieties that show varying degrees of shattering. Accordingly, it is important to elucidate the molecular mechanism to determine why some varieties do not have abscission layers and have an easy-shattering trait. In this study, analysis of QTL for grain shattering was performed to determine the location of QTLs on the whole chromosomes of rice. Also, we tried to construct a physical map for qPs6

Rice embryo contains valuable materials which are related to human health and industrial material, thus controlling embryo size is more and more important in the field of rice breeding. Especially, main health-aid components such as γ -aminobutyric acid (GABA), tocopherol and vitamins showed positive-correlation with embryo size. We obtained three enlarged embryo character mutants derived from Hwacheongbyeo (Korean japonica cultivar) by treatment of chemical mutagen, N-methyl-N-nitrosourea(MNU). These three mutants were named according to their embryo size as ge-m, ge, ge-s. The result of allelism test between Hwacheongbyeo, ge-m, ge and ge-s represented that the embryo size of ge and ge-s was controlled by the same gene(Giant embryo, GE). Through GE locus sequencing of three mutants, we found that each of ge and ge-s mutant has a point mutation, causing non synonymous amino acid substitution. On the other hand, ge-m mutant, the embryo of which featured intermediate size in between those of Hwacheongbyeo and ge, turned out to be non-allelic to the GE locus, suggesting it is likely a novel gene, which influences rice embryo development through a different mechanism than GE gene. Fine mapping of ge-m is currently in progress. This work was supported by a grant from the Next-Generation BioGreen 21 Program (Plant Molecular Breeding Center No. PJ008125), Rural Development Administration, Republic of Korea.

It is assumed that air temperature and light intensity may influence thermal image of plants but little effort has been made to these environmental factors. We conducted this study to investigate the effects of these environmental factors on the thermal image of rice and thus to optimize the condition for thermal image acquisition for high-throughput screening of salt-tolerant rice. Rice (Oryza sativa cv. Chucheong-byeo) seedlings at the four-leaf stage were treated with 0, 50, and 100 mM of NaCl for salt stress. Thermal images (T420, FLIR, Sweden) were taken at 1 and 2 days after salt treatment under 4 different air temperatures and 3 light intensities. Thermal images were analyzed using FLIR Tools 3.1 (FLIR systems Inc., USA) and MATLAB 8.1 (The MathWorks Inc., USA). Rice leaf temperature increased significantly with increasing air temperature and light intensity, resulting in greater discrimination between salt-stressed and unstressed rice plants. Our results thus conclude that environmental conditions such as air temperature and light intensity affect rice thermal image and their optimization is essential for better image acquisition and high-throughput screening system based on thermal image analysis

Since global climate changes drastically, pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is expected to pose serious problems in rice production. CBL-interacting serine/threonine protein kinases (CIPKs) have been implicated to play important role in regulating various abiotic stresses such as cold, salinity and drought. In this study, to understand the function of this gene under pre-harvest sprouting in rice, a cDNA clone encoding CBL-interacting protein kinase 15 (CIPK15) was isolated from rice flowers. This gene is 2,818 bp long with 1,332 bp coding region that encodes a polypeptide of 443 amino acids. We constructed a recombinant vector carrying the OsCIPK15 under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter and Tnos terminator and transformed into rice using Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Insertion of the gene was verified in transformants using HPT resistance test and genomic PCR. Transcriptional profiling using tissues of wild type, Gopum, revealed expression of the gene in whole plant tissues with level of expression highest in the seeds suggesting possible role in dormancy. Comparative expression analysis of the gene in transgenic and wild type through semi-quantitative RT-PCR and real-time PCR showed higher expression in transgenic rice lines. Moreover, screening in the mist chamber showed overexpression lines that were resistant to the PHS. This result suggests the involvement of OsCIPK15 in the regulation of pre-harvest sprouting.

Rice blast (Magnaporthe oryza B.) is one of the most widespread and devastating diseases of rice. Screening of valuable genetic resources harboring resistance genes is one of the most efficient approaches against blast disease. Because the bioassay to rice blast in the field shows high variations, this study has performed to provide DNA profiles in the accessions of diverse countries using major blast resistant genes linked markers, identified and mapped in different genotypes of rice. Because durable resistance to blast is controlled by a combination of major resistance genes, we surveyed the distribution of blast resistant genes in the 1,500 accessions using major 12 blast resistance genes linked markers. These resistant genes found that the frequency distribution of Pi-39 (66.9%), Pik-m (41.9%), Pit (40.5%), Pii (21%), Pib (19.3%), Pi-d(t)2 (12.7%), but Pita, Pita/Pita-2, Pik, Piz-t, Pi5 genes were identified in less than 10% frequency. Most of accessions contain from 1 to 4 different resistant genes. Pi39 and Pik-m genes amplified in the 69.1% and 51.7% among 356 Korean accessions, Pi39 (79.6%) and Pib (55.8%) in 113 China, Pit (80.6%) and Pib (32%) in 103 Philippines, respectively. In this study, we evaluated the blast resistance degree and the information about the distribution of rice blast resistant genes in rice germplasm. This study will help to develop effective strategies for managing rice blast disease in rice germplasm.
