The present work was designed to study the yield loss on rice at different appearance days of hopperburn caused by the brown planthopper(BPH), Nilaparvata lugens Stal, when rice plants were infested with BPH on booting and heading stages. Dead plants were colleted from 23 days after heading stage with intervals of 5 days. Yield losses by the initation of BPH infestation was greater at tooting than at heading stage. Compared to the uninfested plot, there was a reduction in 1,000 grain weight and filled grain percentage at both stages. Positive relationship was observed between rice yield(Y) and the number of days from heading to the appearance of the hopper-burn. Regression equations calculated were; for BPH feeding from booting $\hat{Y}(g)=10.145X-16.374(r=0.9726^{**})$, and for BPH feeding from heading $\hat{Y}(g)=9.792X+26.936(r=0.8850^{**})$.

The insecticides MIPC, BPMC, carbofuran and diazinon were treated to the brown planthopper (BPH) , Nilaparvata lugens STAL, at the dose levels of $LD_{10}\;and\;LD_{50}$(by topical application)/at the rate of 40kg/ha (product base) (by dusting or broadcasting on potted rice). The BPH population in the first generation was significantly decreased in the topical treatments compared to the untreatment. The number of BPH offsprings was relatively greater at the dose level of $LD_{10}\;than\;of\;LD_{50}$. The number of nymphs, however, were greatly varied with the insecticides. The offsprings from the BPH treated with the rate of 40kg/ha showed longer nymphal periods and higher adult emergence, but except diazinon treatment, rather less egg-numbers were observed. The BPH population density was significantly decreased in general up to 38 days after treatment(DAT) in the treated pots. Among the insecticides tested, however, only diazinon induced greater number of insects at the 54 DAT compared to the untreated pots.

This study presents a case study designed to compare the selection efficiency between phenotypic selection (PS) and marker-assisted selection (MAS) in breeding of resistance lines to brown planthopper (BPH). The efficiency between PS and MAS were compared with four population such as the $F_2$, RILs ($F_6$), DH, and backcrosse ($BC_6F_5$) population, derived from a cross 'Samgang / Nagdong'. The resistance lines were selected using two markers, RM28493 and BpE18-3, related to BPH resistance were screened as resistance lines over 95% in PS. The costs required for BPH screening in the MAS system account for approximately 32% of the total costs of PS. The period needed to select the resistance plants was 30 days in PS and 7 days in MAS. Based on the results, we could establish the breeding system for selection of BPH resistance lines by MAS.

The brown planthopper (BPH) is a major insect pest in rice, and damages these plants by sucking phloem-sap and transmitting viral diseases. Many BPH resistance genes have been identified in indica varieties and wild rice accessions, but none has yet been cloned. In the present study we report fine mapping of the region containing the Bph1 locus, which enabled us to perform marker-aided selection (MAS). We used 273 F8 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between Cheongcheongbyeo, an indica type variety harboring Bph1 from Mudgo, and Hwayeongbyeo, a BPH susceptible japonica variety. By random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis using 656 random 10-mer primers, three RAPD markers (OPH09, OPA10 and OPA15) linked to Bph1 were identified and converted to SCAR (sequence characterized amplified region) markers. These markers were found to be contained in two BAC clones derived from chromosome 12: OPH09 on OSJNBa0011B18, and both OPA10 and OPA15 on OSJNBa0040E10. By sequence analysis of ten additional BAC clones evenly distributed between OSJNBa0011B18 and OSJNBa0040E10, we developed 15 STS markers. Of these, pBPH4 and pBPH14 flanked Bph1 at distances of 0.2 cM and 0.8 cM, respectively. The STS markers pBPH9, pBPH19, pBPH20, and pBPH21 co-segregated with Bph1. These markers were shown to be very useful for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in breeding populations of 32 F6 RILs from a cross between Andabyeo and IR71190, and 32 F5 RILs from a cross between Andabyeo and Suwon452.

The densities of plant-and leaf hoppers were examined by direct counting the rice plant of two varieties; Milyang 23 and Chucheongbyeo, in Chinju. The densities of the small brown planthopper(SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, and Green rice leafhopper(GLH), Nephotettix cincticeps were higher on Chuchungbyeo than on Milyang 23 throughout the season, whereas those of white backed planthopper(WBPH), Sogatella furcifera, and Brown planthopper(BPH), Nilaparvata lugens were high on Milyang 23. Seasonal densities of planthoppers were varied with rice plant growth; on Chucheong field, GLH was the predominant species from June to August and BPH was in September, but in Milyang 23 field, WBPH was more abundent from July to August and BPH was increased from late August and was the highest on September.

Some attempts were made to investigate the biological characteristics of the brown planthopper(BPH), Nilaparvata lugens St${\aa}$l, biotypes in terms of perference in feeding oviposition on rice field, egg and nymphal periods, egg hatchability, emergemce ratio, growth index, adult lingevity and gecundity fed on 60-day-old rece cultivaes with different resistance genes. Feeding and oviposition perference of the three BPH biotypes on Dongjinbyeo with no resistance gene were shown very higher than on rice cultivars with resistance genes. Those of biotype-2 on Cheongcheongbyeo with bph 1 gene and bitype-3 on Milyang 63 with bph 2 gene were relatively high, however, they were still remarkably lower than those of Dongjibyeo. The egg and nymphal periods of the three BPH biotyes on Milyang 23 were shorter than on the other rice cultivars. The periods of biotype-2 on Cheongcheongbyeo and biotype-3 on Milyang 63 were as short as those of the three BPH biotypes on Milyang 23. The egg hachability, emergence ratio, and growth index of the three BPH bioyoes on Milyang 23 were higher than on the other rice cultivars and those of biotype-2 on Cheongcheongbyeo and biotyoe-3 on Milyang 63 were as high as on Milyang 23. The female adult longevity of the BPH biotype-1 on Milyang 23 was longer than on the other cultivaes, and that of biotype-2 on Cheongcheongbyeo and bioty-3 an Milyang 63 were as ling as on Milyang 23. The number of egg laid by a female of the three BPH biotypes were greatly increased on Milyang 23. Those of biotype-2 on Cheongcheongbyeo and biotype-3 an Milyang 63 were also greatly increased.

Residual and biological effects of buprofezin(25% WP) on the larvae of the brown planthopper(BPH), Ni/aparvata /ugens SUlI, were studied by pot experiments. Residual lethal effects on the 2nd instar larvae lasted significantly long, and were higher with application rates. The rate of 17.50 g a.i./10a showed ca. 90% mortality even on 35 days after treatment (OAT). $RLT_{90}$ and $RLT_{50}$(residual lethal time that can show 90% and 50% mortality, respectively) with rates of 5.78-11.50 g a.i./lOa were 9.0-13.5, and 16.8-22.8 days, respectively. It was estimated that 13.00 and 4.44 g a.i./lOa were the rates of buprofezin which could show mortalities of 2nd instar BPH larvae above 95% and 50% until 15 OAT, respectively. The residual lethal effect of 7.00 g a.i./10a on the 1st instar BPH larvae was 100 % even on 17 OAT. $RLT_{50}$ was 32.5 days which was 15 days longer than $RLT_{50}$ for the 2nd instar larvae. Buprofezin with 7.0 g a.i./lOa showed 100% and 70% mortality for 1st-4th and 5th instar BPH larvae, respectively. Longevity of a female BPH which emerged from the 5th instar larvae treated by buprofezin was greatly reduced, and its fecundity was nearly zero.

Plant defensins are small (5-10 kDa) basic peptides thought to be an important component of the defense pathway against fungal and/or bacterial pathogens. To understand the role of plant defensins in protecting plants against the brown planthopper, a type of insect herbivore, we isolated the Brassica rapa Defensin 1 (BrD1) gene and introduced it into rice (Oryza sativa L.) to produce stable transgenic plants. The BrD1 protein is homologous to other plant defensins and contains both an N-terminal endoplasmic reticulum signal sequence and a defensin domain, which are highly conserved in all plant defensins. Based on a phylogenetic analysis of the defensin domain of various plant defensins, we established that BrD1 belongs to a distinct subgroup of plant defensins. Relative to the wild type, transgenic rices expressing BrD1 exhibit strong resistance to brown planthopper nymphs and female adults. These results suggest that BrD1 exhibits insecticidal activity, and might be useful for developing cereal crop plants resistant to sap-sucking insects, such as the brown planthopper.

The main objective of this study was to develop the multi-resistance lines to insects(brown planthopper; BPH, rice green leafhopper; GRH) and disease(blast; BL, bacterial blight; BB and rice stripe virus disease;RSV) with good grain quality and plant type by combining conventional breeding and marker assisted selection(MAS) and to eliminate the linkage drag effects between Bph1 gene and culm length, we conducted MAS of Bph1 gene in advanced backcross and double cross progenies. 'Nampyeong', 'Junam' and 'Milyang220' were used as the parent in this study. 'Milyang220' was used as the donor of brown planthopper resistance gene Bph1 with tall culm length. Two backcross progenies were developed using two recipients 'Nampyeong' carrying GRH resistance gene Grh3(t) with good grain appearance and 'Junam' harboring bacterial blight resistance gene Xa3 with short culm length. Two $BC_1$ generations were resulted from the backcrossing of the $F_1$ plants with recurrent parents 'Nampyeong' and 'Junam'. The second rounds of backcrossing($BC_2$) were derived from the cross of selected resistant $BC_1F_1$ plants based on heterozygous genotype of RM28493 linked to Bph1 gene. The double crossed population was constructed from the cross of between each heterozygous $BC_2F_1$ plants at RM28493 locus of '$Nampyeong^*3$ / Milyang220' and '$Junam^*3$ / Milyang220'., The homozygous alleles in Bph1 gene were selected using co-dominant DNA marker RM28493 in double crossed population. Eighty-five lines with multi-resistance to BL, BB, RSV, GRH and BPH were selected by bio-assay and MAS in generation of double crossing. The culm length, head rice ratio and yield of the selected multi resistance lines was ranged from 71 to 88 cm, from 51 to 93%, from 449 to 629 kg/10a. respectively. We can select a promising multi resistance line similar with 'Nampyeong' of major agronomic traits such as culm legnth, head rice ratio and yield. It was designated as Milyang265. Finally this study was developed the multi resistant varieties against to insects and diseases with the good grain quality 'Milyang265' by the advanced backcross and double cross combining MAS and it can be used as genetic resources of multi-resistance to insect and diseases in rice breeding programs.

Rice plant extracts of brown planthopper (BPH) resistant rice varieties, Jangseongbyeo (JSB) and Hwacheongbyeo (HCB) at different growth stages (seedling, tillering, heading and ripening) were sequentially fractioned using hexane, ethyl ether, ethyl acetate, butanol, and distilled water. The extracts were applied to BPH susceptible rice variety, Dongjjnbyeo (DJB), to investigate the insecticidal and repellent effects against BPH. BPH insecticidal effects were not clearly observed with almost all of the extract fractions obtained from both JSB and HCB varieties for 12 h, whereas the ethyl ether and hexane extract fractions showed about 10 to 30% of BPH mortality in 24 to 48 h of application periods. An effective BPH repellent activity was found with the applications of ethyl ether extract fractions obtained from JSB variety. The extract fractions obtained from HCB variety did not show any different repellence among the various fractions. The BPH repellent effects of the extract fractions obtained at different growth stages of either JSB or HCB varieties did not show any correlations. The effect of ethyl ether fraction on BPH repellent was continually increased by 30 h after treatment and thereafter decreased. In addition, the first sub-fraction separated by a flash column chromatography eluted with chloroform:methanol (9:1, v/v) from the BPH effective ethyl ether faction in JSB variety might be meaningful to repel BPH from BPH susceptible target rice plants. The results indicated that the ethyl ether fraction obtained from JSB was higher in repellent activity than in insecticidal activity, and suggesting that there might be specific substance(s) in the first sub-fraction (sF1) of the ethyl ether fraction in JSB that could provide repellent activity against BPH.
