'Japonica 6' is a japonica rice variety developed from a cross between 'MS11', the beginning variety adaptable to tropical region, and 'IR86743-28-1-4', an elite line of high yield and good plant type by a Korea(RDA)-IRRI cooperative breeding program at IRRI in 2017. The growth duration of 'Japonica 6' is 121 days from sowing to harvest. It is 10 days later than that of the check variety 'MS11'. The culm length of 'Japonica 6' is 70 cm, and 1,000-brown rice grain weight is 26.7 g. It has a shorter culm and a larger grain. size than that of MS11. 'Japonica 6' is moderately resistant to blast disease but susceptible to bacterial blight, tungro virus and plant hoppers. The milled rice recovery rate of 'Japonica 6' is improved than that of 'MS11'. The head rice rate of 'Japonica 6' is significantly higher than that of 'MS11'. Yield of 'Japonica 6' is averagely 3.59 MT/ha of milled rice in 5 areas of the Philippines. The 'Japonica 6' was registered in Philippines and would be adaptable to the diverse regions of tropical Asia (Registration No in Philippines. BPI-NSIC-2017-Rc 484SR).

Field hulling of high-moisture paddy followed by brown rice drying offers many advantages over the present paddy harvesting and drying offers many advantages over the present paddy harvesting and drying system. We did a preliminary study of the parameters for efficient hulling of high-moisture paddy using the IRRI Centrifugal Huller and two India rice varieties. Hulling capacity , hulling efficiency , brown rice recovery and percent whole bown rice were generally best at the impeller peripheral speed of 44m/s. A second pass through the huller increased hulling capacity , brown rice revery and hulling efficiency, but reduced percent whole brown rice. To solve this , we recommed separation of paddy after hulling and aspiration such that only unhulled and partially -hulled grains will be fed back to the huller. Paddy at even 23% m.c. could be effectively hulled by the impeller-type huller , but the results were generally better at 14 to 17% m.c. Only in percent whole brown rice did the 17 to 23% m.c. range performed better than that of 14% m.c. Difference invarietal response to hulling was observed.

The germplasm of 246 rice cultivars was analysed for iron and zinc contents using a Inductively Coupled Argon Plasma (ICP) at International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) Philippines. Iron contents ranged from 2.0 to 12.0, and zinc ranged from 10.0 to 33.0 (mg/kg), showing with the mean values of 4.3 and 22.8 (mg/kg), respectively. In genotypes tested, there was approximately a two-fold difference in iron and zinc concentrations, suggesting a genetic potential to increase these micronutrients in rice grain. A highly significant positive correlation ($r^2=0.503$) was found between iron and zinc contents. Iron contents decreased drastically as polishing time increased, whereas zinc decreased only slightly. In the interaction between genotype and environment on iron contents, genotype (G), environment (E), and the G ${\times}$ E interactions accounted for 69%, 5% and 26% of the sums of squares, respectively. Indicating that genotype is would be the most significant factor for the to improve iron contents of rice in rice breeding, suggesting that therefore identifying genotypes with relatively stable performance across various environments is important as staple food crops.

Since 1992, the Rural Development Administration (RDA), Republic of Korea in collaboration with International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) has developed 6 japonica rice varieties(MS11, Japonica 1, 2, 6, 7 and Cordillera 4) that are adaptable to tropical regions. However, these varieties show moderate resistance or susceptibility to certain biotic and abiotic stress. The development of varieties with more stable forms of resistance is highly desirable, and this could be possibly achieved through rapid introgression of known biotic and abiotic resistant genes. In this study, we analyzed the allele types of major biotic stress resistant genes including Xa5, Xa13, Xa21 and Xa25 for bacterial leaf blight, Pi5, Pi40, Pish and Pita2 for blast, tsv1 for rice tungro spherical virus, and Bph6, Bph9, Bph17, Bph18 and Bph32 for brown planthopper by using gene-specific molecular markers. In addition, seed quality related genes Sdr4 for preharvest sprouting and qLG-9 for seed longevity were also analyzed. The results revealed that2h5 and Xa25 resistance alleles showed in all varieties while Pi5 resistance allele showed only in MS11. The Pish resistance allele were present in five varieties except for Japonica 1. Meanwhile, for the rest of the genes, no presence of resistance alleles found in six varieties. In conclusions, most of tropical japonica varieties are lack of the major biotic stress resistant genes and seed quality genes (Sdr4 and qLG-9). Moreover, the results indicated that rapid deployment of a few major genes in the current tropical japonica rice varieties is urgent to increase durability and spectrum of biotic stress resistance and also seed dormancy/longevity which are essential traits for tropical environments.

The research was conducted to evaluate a different seedling establishment of rice germplasms which were obtained from the IRRI (International Rice Research Institute) under the direct seeded condition. There was highly significant difference in terms of statistical analysis among cultivars. The seedling establishment of cultivars tested was the highest with ASD1 > IR50 > IR72 > Taothabi > Uplri5 > CO25 > Dula > Moroberakan. The difference of seedling establishment among cultivars particular in dry condition was high between ASD1 and Moroberakan and other cultivars.

This study was conducted to determine which of the different agronomic traits of rice (Oryza saliva L.) has greater weight in predicting thiobencarb (S-[(4-chlorophenyl) methyl]diethylcarbamothioate) tolerance. Differences in plant height, tiller number, culm length, panicle number, and spikelet number per panicle between tolerant and susceptible cultivars were greater at the higher herbicide rate. However, days to heading and percent filled spikelets were not affected by herbicide rate. At the higher thiobencarb rate, the coefficients for all characters except plant height, tiller number, and percent filled spikelets were significant. Spikelet number per panicle and panicle number which had positive significant coefficients at both concentrations are the most useful indicators of total filled spikelets.

To select new germplasm for salinity tolerance from new plant type (NPT) breeding lines, the sixty F$_4$ lines selected from the crosses between Korean cultivars and IRRI's NPT lines were evaluated for salinity tolerance at the seedling stage with salinized culture solution (EC=12 dS/m) in the controlled conditions. Two NTP lines derived from a cross between 'Ilmibyeo' and 'IR66152-AC5-1', 'HR15258-7-1' and 'HR15258-27-1', were found to have good tolerance. The salinity tolerance of the lines was compared to their parents and the sensitive ('IR29') and tolerant ('Pokkali') checks in three salinity levels, no salinity (control) and an EC of 12 and 16 dS/m. Visual salinity score, shoot Na+ and Na-K ratio in two NPT lines was significantly low compared with the parents and IR29. Indicating that salinity tolerance of the lines might be derived from a transgressive segregation. The relative water content of the lines was higher than Pokkali, and the dry weight of shoot and root was proportionally decreased to salinity score and salinizing concentration. The visual salinity scores were significantly correlated with shoot Na concentration, Na-K ratio, relative water content, and reduction of dry weight (P<0.01). Their tolerance was attributed to root and shoot characteristics that led to high shoot water content, thus diluting the toxic effect of salts.
