본 연구는 우리나라 벼흰잎마름병 균주에 대한 인디카형과 자포니카형의 단일 저항성 유전자의 반응과 이들의 집적 효과를 비교 분석하고 자포니카형의 유망 조합을 제시하여 향후 우리나라 환경 여건에 효과적인 저항성 품종을 육성하고자 수행하였다. 단일 저항성 유전자 계통중 Xa1, Xa3, Xa21은 생태형 간에 차이가 없었으나 Xa4와 xa5는 자포니카에 비해 인디카형에서 저항성이 강하였다. 인디카형과 자포니카형에서 모두 저항성 유전자가 집적되었을 경우에 단일 또는 두 개의 저항성 유전자에 비해 저항성이 정도가 증가하거나, 저항성 수준이 높은 유전자가 저항성 수준이 낮거나 균계 특이적 이병성을 나타내는 저항성 유전자를 보완하는 효과를 나타냈다. 자포니카형에서 새롭게 확인된 저항성 유전자 집적 조합인 Xa3+Xa21, xa5+Xa21과 Xa3+xa5+Xa21은 우리나라 우점 균주와 16개 균주에 대해서 저항성이었으며 현재 우리나라 벼흰잎마름병 저항성 육종에서 주력 저항성 조합으로 이용되고 있는 Xa3+xa5 보다 높은 수준의 저항성을 나타냈다. 이들 저항성 유전자 집적 조합은 균계 분화 등에 따른 저항성 붕괴에 안정적으로 대응할 수 있고 저항성을 효과적으로 강화할 수 있는 유망 조합으로 생각되어 자포니카 벼흰잎마름병 저항성 증진을 위한 목표 조합으로 설정하여 육종사업을 수행하겠다. 

R genes are a key component of genetic interactions between plants and biotrophic bacteria and are known to regulate resistance against bacterial invasion. The most common R proteins contain a nucleotide-binding site and a leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) domain. Some soybean NBS-LRR genes have also been reported to function in disease resistance. A total of 319 genes were determined to be putative NBS-LRR genes in the soybean genome. The number of NBS-LRR genes on each chromosome was highly correlated with the number of disease resistance QTL in the 2-Mb flanking regions of NBS-LRR genes. In addition, the recently duplicated regions contained duplicated NBS-LRR genes and duplicated disease resistance QTL, and possessed either an uneven or even number of NBS-LRR genes on each side. The significant difference in NBS-LRR gene expression between a resistant near-isogenic line (NIL) and a susceptible NIL after inoculation of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines supports the conjecture that NBS-LRR genes have disease resistance functions in the soybean genome. The number of NBS-LRR genes and disease resistance QTL in the 2-Mb flanking regions of each chromosome was significantly correlated, and several recently duplicated regions that contain NBS-LRR genes harbored disease resistance QTL for both sides. In addition, NBS-LRR gene expression was significantly different between the BLP-resistant NIL and the BLP-susceptible NIL in response to bacterial infection. From these observations, NBS-LRR genes are suggested to contribute to disease resistance in soybean. Moreover, we propose models for how NBS-LRR genes were duplicated, and apply Ks values for each NBS-LRR gene cluster.

The objective of this study was to determine the genetic diversities of major rice blast resistance genes among 84 accessions of aromatic rice germplasm. Eighty four accessions were characterized by a dominant 11 set of PCR-based SNP and CAPS marker, which showed the broad spectrum resistance and closest linkage to seven major rice blast resistance (R) genes, Pia, Pib, Pii, Pi5 (Pi3), Pita (Pita-2), and Pi9 (t). The allele specific PCR markers assay genotype of SCAR and STS markers was applied to estimate the presence or absence of PCR amplicons detected with a pair of PCR markers. One indica accession, Basmati (IT211194), showed the positive amplicons of five major rice blast resistance genes, Pia, Pi5 (Pi3), Pib, Pi-ta (Pi-ta2), and Pik-5 (Pish). Among 48 accessions of the PCR amplicons detected with yca72 marker, only five accessions were identified to Pia gene on chromosome 11. The Pib gene was estimated with the NSb marker and was detected in 65 of 84 accessions. This study showed that nine of 84 accessions contained the Pii gene and owned Pi5 (Pi3) in 42 of 84 accessions by JJ817 and JJ113-T markers, which is coclosest with Pii on chromosome 9. Only six accessions were detected two alleles of the Pita or Pita-2 genes. Three of accessions were identified as the Pi9 (t) gene locus.

Brown planthopper (BPH) is a serious insect pest of rice crop throughout rice growing countries, and yield loss due to its infection can be up to 60%. This study aimed to evaluate efficiency of molecular markers for screening BPH resistance accessions among 86 aromatic rice germplasm Eighty-six accessions of aromatic rice germplasm included two accessions of Tongil type (bred in Korea), 28 accessions of japonica type and 56 accessions of indica type. We applied eight STS markers (pBPH9, pBPH19, pBPH20, pBPH21, AJ09-b, RG457L, RG457B, and 7312.T4A) which were linked to four of BPH resistance genes, Bph1, Bph13(t), Bph10, and Bph18(t) respectively. One japonica type accession, 415XIr352, and six indica type accessions possessed one or four positive bands when tested with four STS markers linked to Bph1 gene. One indica type aromatic rice, Basmati9-93, showed the target bands linked to the Bph10 gene. The other accessions did not show same fragments as the respective resistant lines. Bph13(t) is the most widely introduced resistance gene and only one accession showed positive bands implying that this accession might harbor Bph10 and Bph18(t) genes. Three aromatic accessions, Domsiah, Khao Dawk Mali 105 and 415XIr352 showed gene pyramiding of Bph1 and Bph13(t). Two indica aromatic rice, Ds 20 and Basmati 9-93, possessed at least two BPH resistance genes, Bph1, Bph18(t) and Bph13(t), Bph18(t), respectively. These results indicates that aromatic rice germplasm have narrow diversities of BPR resistance genes.

저항성원이 다른 7개이 근동질 저항성 계통과 감수성 품종인 Toyonishiki에서 X. oryzae pv. oryzae의 증식과 이동에 관한 시험을 실시하였다. 접종 10일 후, NIL의 접종부위 잎의 세균밀도는 약 105~106cfu/cm2 이었으나 감수성 품종인 Toyonishiki에서는 약 107cfu/cm2 로 높게 나타났다. 이와 같이 감수성 품종에서의 세균 수는 급속히 증가하였으나 NIL에서는 점차적으로 증식하였다. IRBB 103과 Toyonishiki는 접종 25일 후에 접종부위로부터 20cm 위쪽에서 세균이 검출되었으나 다른 NIL에서는 검출되지 않았다. 이와같이 Xa1, Xa4, xa5, Xa7 저항성 유전자는 세균의 이동을 크게 억제하였다.

To investigate genes related to vernalization and cold- resistance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Nagaoka), differentially expressed genes were identified from cold-resistant barley leaves with suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and Northern blot analyses. The nucleotide and the deduced amino acid sequences of the putative gene products were compared. The bvrn-7 showed high homology(84%) with gene related to vernalization, and the bvrn-3, bvrn-12, bvrn-28, bvrn-29 and bvrn-36 related to cold-resistant genes had high identity of 88~98% with low temperature-induced genes. The results indicate that the 6 genes were closely related to vernalization and cold-resistance during low temperature treatment.

Fifty-two Korean japonica rice cultivars were analyzed for leaf blast resistance and genotyped with 4 STS and 26 SSR markers flanking the specific chromosome sites linked with blast resistance genes. In our analysis of resistance genes in 52 japonica cultivars using STS markers tightly linked to Pib, Pita, Pi5(t) and Pi9(t), the blast nursery reaction of the cultivars possessing the each four major genes were not identical to that of the differential lines. Eight of the 26 SSR markers were associated with resistant phenotypes against the isolates of blast nursery as well as the specific Korean blast isolates, 90-008 (KI-1113), 03-177 (KJ-105). These markers were linked to Pit, Pish, Pib, Pi5(t), Piz, Pia, Pik, Pi18, Pita and Pi25(t) resistance gene loci. Three of the eight SSR markers, MRG5836, RM224 and RM7102 only showed significantly associated with the phenotypes of blast nursery test for two consecutive years. These three SSR markers also could distinguish between resistant and susceptible japonica cultivars. These results demonstrate the usefulness of marker-assisted selection and genotypic monitoring for blast resistance of rice in blast breeding programs.
