'Goamibyeo', a mid-late maturing ecotype with high amylose content in kernels, was developed by the rice breeding team of National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station(NYAES) in 2000 and released in 2001. This variety was derived from the three way cross of Milyang 95//Kimcheonaengmi/$2^*Ilpumbyeo$ (in 1992 summer) through the pedigree breeding method and designated as 'Milyang 168' in 1997. The heading date of 'Goamibyeo' was Aug. 18 in ordinary season with culm length of 85 cm. However, 'Goamibyeo' showed susceptible to bacterial leaf blight, stripe virus and leaf blast disease. The amylose content of 'Goamibyeo' in milled rice kernels is about 26.7% with translucent and clear in chalkness. Thus, 'Goamibyeo' is expected to be used as a source grain for rice noodle industries. The milled rice yield potential of 'Goamibyeo' is about 5.38 MT/ha in local adaptability test of three years and it would be adaptable to Yeongnam plain of Korea.

Three rice cultivars, Aichi-asahi, Toyotama and Yamabiko, possessing a resistance gene $Pi-\alpha$ were evaluated for penetration, hyphal growth in the leaf epidermis and lesion formation using 6 isolates of Pyricularia oryzae by treating pre- and post disposing temperatures of $23/15^{\circ}C\;and\;29/21^{\circ}C$ (day/night) regimes, respectively. Percent penetration of the fungus was higher on the seedlings disposed at $29/21^{\circ}C$ regime and more lesions were formed at 7 days after inoculation than at $23/15^{\circ}C$ regime. Degree of hyphal growth and number of host cells with hyphal growth were remarkably increased from 72 to 96 hr after inoculation at $29/21^{\circ}C$ regime. However, lesion formation on the seedlings disposed at $23/15^{\circ}C$ regime was delayed, possibly as a result of the suppressed hyphal growth until 96 hr after inoculation.

Biological control activity of Acremonium strictum BCP, a mycoparasite on Botrytis cinerea, was examined against six plant diseases such as rice blast, rice sheath blight, cucumber gray mold, tomato late blight, wheat leaf rust, and barley powdery mildew in growth chambers. The spore suspension of strain BCP showed strong control activities against five plant diseases except against wheat leaf rust. On the other hand, the culture filtrate of A. strictum BCP was effective in controlling only cucumber gray mold and barley powdery mildew. Further in vivo biocontrol activities of A. strictum BCP against tomato gray mold were investigated under greenhouse conditions. Control efficacy of the fungus on tomato gray mold increased in a concentration-dependent manner. Treatment of more than $1{\times}10^6$ spores/ml significantly controlled the disease both in tomato seedlings and in adult plants. The high disease control activity was obtained from protective application of the strain BCP, whereas the curative application did not control the disease. Foliar infections of B. cinerea were controlled with $1{\times}10^8$ spores/ml of A. strictum BCP applied up to 7 days before inoculation. In a commercial greenhouse, application of A. strictum BCP exhibited the similar control efficacy with fungicide procymidone (recommended rate, $500{\mu}g/ml$) against strawberry gray mold. These results indicate that A. strictum BCP could be developed as a biofungicide for Botrytis diseases under greenhouse conditions.

Eleven F$_1$ rice hybrids were developed by using the genetic male sterile lines having the backgrounds of Korean variety. The average heterosis, heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis for grain yield were 15.2%, 8.7% and 17.9%, respectively. Significant heterobe1tiosis for number of grains per panicle was observed. The leaf blast reaction of the hybrids was mostly similar to that of the more resistant parent. Amylose content of the hybrids ranged from 20.5% to 22.5% and protein content from 10.4% to 11.1%. The degrees of alkali digestion value, white center or white belly, clearance and heading date of the hybrids were almost same as their parents.

Hopum is a new japonica rice cultivar developed from the cross between Milyang165 and F1 crossing Milyang165 and Iksan438 at Department of Rice and Winter Cereal Crop, NICS, RDA, in 2006. This cultivar has a short grain shape and about 141 days growth duration from direct seeding to harvesting in the southern plain including Chungcheong province. This cultivar has short culm and spikelet number per panicle is similar to that of Nampyeongbyeo, while filled grain rate is lower than standard variety. This cultivar has medium size of brown rice and shows moderate resistance to leaf blast, to bacterial blight pathogens of $K_1$, $K_2$ and $K_3$ and stripe virus disease but susceptible to major virus diseases and insect pests. The milled kernel of Hopum is translucent with non-glutinous endosperm. Protein and amylose content of Hopum is about 6.5% and 18.7%, respectively. This cultivar has better palatability of cooked rice than Chucheongbyeo harvested in Gyeongki province. Its milling recovery (76.8%) and percentage of perfect-shaped milled rice (94.7%) were higher than Nampyeongbyeo. The milled rice yield of Hopum was 5.83 MT/ha (15% higher than Juan) under wet-direct seeding, 5.66 MT/ha (8% higher than Juan) under dry-direct seeding, and 6.00 MT/ha (8% higher than Nampyeong) under ordinary transplanting cultivation. "Hopum" would be adaptable for ordinary transplanting and direct seeding in the southern plain including Chungcheong province.

Bis-aromatic ${\alpha},{\beta}$-unsaturated ketone derivatives represented as substrate(S) were synthesized and their fungicidal activities in vivo against rice blast(Pyricularia oryzae) and tomato leaf blight(Phytophthora infestans) were examined with the quantitative structure activity relationships(QSAR) using 3D QSAR, comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA). The 3D CoMFA results and those of 2D QSAR were compared and the results reveal that both results show similar trend. The two important factors, steric and electronic, contribute toward the activity. We assumed that fungicidal activity for rice blast was greatly improved by increasing with positive charge of ${\beta}$-carbon and introduction of bulky derivatives into $R_{2}$ group, while that for tomato leaf blight was improved by decreasing the positive charge of ${\beta}$-carbon and introduction of smaller molecular derivative into $R_{2}$ group. The CoMFA analyses clearly demonstrate its potential in unraveling the steric and electronic features of the molecules through contour maps.

There are the farmer's needs to develop early-maturing cultivar adaptable to mid-northern inland plain and alpine area. Furthermore, it is required to develop a rice variety to produce new rice before concentrated marketing dates, even in the years of early Chuseok. 'Joun' is a new extremely early-maturing japonica rice cultivar developed in 2009 from the cross of SR14880-173-3-3-2-2-2/Unbong20 at Cheolwon Substation, National Institute of Crop Science (NICS), Rural Development Administration (RDA). The heading date of 'Joun' is July 23 in mid-northern alpine area, which is 7 days earlier than that of Odaebyeo. It has about 61 cm in culm length with semi-erect plant type. Panicle has a few awns and its exertion is good. The number of spikelets per panicle is smaller than that of Odaebyeo and 1,000 grain-weight of brown rice is 21.2 g which is less than 26.3 g of Odaebyeo, but the complete grain ratio is higher. Milled kernels are translucent with non-glutinous endosperm and palatability of cooked rice is good. It shows strong resistance to cold treatment, lodging, premature heading, wilting and viviparous germination during ripening stage. This cultivar shows resistance to leaf blast disease but susceptible to bacterial blight, virus disease and insect pests. The milled rice yield performance of 'Joun' is about 5.18 MT/ha by ordinary culture in local adaptability test for three years. This cultivar may be highly adaptable to the mid-northern inland plain and alpine area, north-eastern coastal area and middle plain area.

Rice is responsible for the stable crop of 3 billion people worldwide, about half of Asian depends on it, and rice is grown in more than 100 countries. Rice diseases can lead to devastating economic loss by decreasing yield production, disturbing a stable food supply and demand chain. The most commonly used method to control rice disease is chemical control. However, misuse of chemical control can cause environmental pollution, residual toxicity, and the emergence of chemical-resistant pathogens, the deterioration of soil quality, and the destruction of biodiversity. In order to control rice diseases, research on alternative biocontrol is actively pursued including microorganism-oriented biocontrol agents. Microbial agents control plant disease through competition with and antibiotic effects and parasitism against plant pathogens. Microorganisms isolated from the rice rhizosphere are studied comprehensively as biocontrol agents against rice pathogens. Bacillus sp., Pseudomonas sp., and Trichoderma sp. were reported to control rice diseases, such as blast, sheath blight, bacterial leaf blight, brown spot, and bakanae diseases. Here we reviewed the microorganisms that are studied as biocontrol agents against rice diseases.

Twenty isolates of Helminthosporium species were obtained from various grass plants and tested for controlling efficacy on the development of plant diseases. An isolate of Helminthosporium sp. TP-4 was chosen and six antibiotic substances were purified from cultures of the fungus by repeated silica gel column chromatography and preparative thin-layer chromatography. They were identified as ophiobolin a, 6-epiophiobolin A, 3-anhydroophiobolin A, 3-anhydro-6-epiophiobolin A, iphiobolin B, and iphiobolin I mainly by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. Ophiobolins inhibited the growth of a grampositive bacterium Streptomyces griseus, but were not active against gram-negative bacteria. They also showed an antifungal activity. In in vivo tests, iphiobolin B exhibited potent controlling activities against rice blast, tomato late blight, and wheat leaf rust with control values more than 90% and 70% at concentration of $500\mu\textrm{m}$/ml and 100 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/ml. Ophiobolin A and 6-epiophiobolin A controlled the development of wheat leaf rust more than 80% at concentrations of 100 /ml and $500\mu\textrm{m}$/ml respectively. 3-Anhydro-6-epiophiobolin A was not active against any plant disease. On the other hand, the A-series ophiobolins other than 3-anhydroophiobolin A showed stronger phytotoxic activity in a leaf-wounding assay using 8 plant species than those of 3-anhydroophiobolin A, ophiobolin B, and ophiobolin I. The results indicate that there is little correlation between antifungal activity and phytotoxicity of ophiobolins.
