This study was conducted to characterize and to elucidate the inheritance mode of green-kerneled rices which were selected in rice germplasms collected in China. Three green-kerneled varieties (Hexi 41, Beijingluimi-1, and Jilinluimi-1), three regular whi
To demonstrate the importance of transformation efficiency in independent event, molecular and cytogenetic analysis were conducted with genomic DNA and chromosome of transgenic plants produced by Agrobacterium tumefeciens LBA4404 (pSBM-PPGN: gusA and bar). Selection ratios of putative transgenic calli were similar in independent experiments, however, transformation efficiencies were critically influenced by the type of regeneration media. MSRK5SS-Pr regeneration mediun, which contains 5 mgL-1 kinetin, 2% (w/v) sucrose in combination with 3% (w/v) sorbitol, and 500 mgL-1 proline, was efficient to produce transgenic plant of rice from putative transgenic callus in the presence of L-phosphinotricin (PPT). With MSRK5SS-Pr medium, transformation efficincies of Nagdongbyeo were significantly enhanced from 3.7% to 6.3% in independent callus lines arid from 7.3% to 19.7% in plants produced, respectively. Stable integration and expression of bar gene were confirmed by basta herbicide assay, PCR amplification and Southern blotting of bar gene, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis using pSBM-PPGN as a probe. In Southern blot analysis, diverse band patterns were observed in total 44 transgenic plants regenerated from 20 independent PPT resistant calli showing from one to five copies of T-DNA segments, however, the transformants obtained from one callus line showed the same copy numbers with the same fractionized band patterns.
Cold acclimation of plants is a highly active process resulting from the expression of a number of physiological and metabolic adaptations to low temperature. Major metabolic changes in carbohydrates, protein, nucleic acids, amino acids, and growth regula
This study was conducted to identify the genetic basis of the domestication-related traits in weedy rice. An RIL population consisting of 80 lines was developed from a cross between the japonica weedy rice, Hapcheonaengmi 3 and the Tongil-type cultivar Mi
This study was conducted to identify the genomic regions associated with cold tolerance in rice. An RIL population consisting of 120 lines was developed from a cross between the japonica cultivar, Hwayeongbyeo and the wild rice, Oryza rufipoon Griff. Acc.
Molecular markers were used to map and characterize quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for traits related to cold tolerance in an intrasubspecif ic backcross population of r ice. The parents of the cross were a cold susceptible Tongil-type cultivar 'Milyang23
