An introgression line, WH79006 was produced from a single plant from $BC_5F_3$ families from a cross between Hwaseongbyeo used as a recurrent parent and O. minuta (BBCC, Ace. No. 101154) as a donor parent, which was subsequently self-pollinated for three generations. WH79006 resembled the O. sativa parent, Hwaseongbyeo. However it differed from Hwaseongbyeo in several traits including days to heading, culm length, grain size, spikelets per panicle and fertility. These differences in the traits between WH79006 and Hwaseongbyeo can be attributed to the O. minuta introgressions. To detect the introgressions, 294 SSR markers of known chromosomal position have been used. At least, 28 introgressed chromosomal segments have been identified using SSR markers and they map to all chromosomes except chromosome 2. The size of the introgressed segments ranged from 4 to 35cM. A QTL related to culm length was detected using 75 $F_2$ plants from the Hwaseongbyeo/WH79006 cross. This QTL, cl6 located on chromosome 6 explained $9.6\%$ of the total phenotypic variation in the population. This QTL has not been detected in the previous QTL studies between Oryza sativa cultivars, indicating potentially novel alleles from O. minutan.

The experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of nitrogen application on the development of small vascular bundle in the rice plants. Two cultivars, IR58, an indica type and Unbong 7, a japonica type were used in this study. The number of small vascular bundles in peduncle of different tillers was increased with the increase of nitrogen level. In the main culm, number of small vascular bundles at higher nitrogen level was increased by 39% in IR58 and 24% in Unbong 7 compared with nitrogen free plot. The main culm had more small vascular bundles in the peduncle and number of small vascular bundle was decreased with later tiller order and tiller development. The number and cross sectional area of small vascular bundles in flag leaf blade and sheath of main culm were increased with increasing levels of nitrogen. The number of small vascular bundles in peduncle was highly correlated with the number of spikelets and grain weight per panicle.

An experiment was carried out to know the effects of paclobutrazol application time on the lodging related traits and yield of a rice variety. Seomjinbyeo, at two nitrogen leveles. Paclobutrazol (3kg 10a of 0.6% G) was applied 43, 33, 23, and 13 days before heading (DBH) and lodging related traits were observed 10, 20, 30, and 40 days after heading (DAH). Earlier applications of paclobutrazol reduced the length of lower internodes and later applications reduced the upper internodes. Culm length tended to decrease as time of paclobutrazol application delayed. Although lodging was not occurred in all plots. lodging index of paclobutrazol treated plots was lower than that of control and increased with maturity, Fresh weight of shoot increased up to 30 DAH and then decreased. Both fresh weight and breaking strength did not show consistent tendency with time of paclobutrazol application and observation. Direct effect of shoot fresh weight contributing to lodging index decreased with maturity. but that of breaking strength and culm length was similar during the ripening stages. Direct effect contributing to lodging index was greater in the order of breaking strength culm length. and fresh weight 40 DAH. Starch content of culm base decreased up to 20 DAH and then increased up to 40 DAH. Cellulose content increased up to 20 DAH, but hemicellulose and lignin did not change significantly during the ripening stages. Starch, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin contents of culm base did not correlated with breaking strength and time of paclobutrazol application did not show consistent results. Paclobutrazol applied 13 DBH did not reduce yield of rice. but the earlier applications reduced yield due to a reduced number of spikelets per panicle.

Performance of a rice breeding line, Milyang 95 was evaluated at four cultural methods, direct seeding on dry soil covered by making ridges (DS ridged), direct seeding on dry soil covered by rotortilling (DS rotary), direct seeding on flooded soil (FS), and machine transplanting (MT). Days from seeding to emergence in both DS ridged and DS rotary was 15 days. The number of seedlings at DS ridged and DS rotary was lower than that at FS. Heading was earliest at MT, latest at DS rotary and DS ridged, and that at FS was between them. Days from seeding to heading was 115 days at MT, 94-95 days at DS ridged and DS rotary, and 87 days at FS. Lodging index was similar among the cultural methods and lodging was not occurred in the field although fresh weight of tillers and breaking strength at MT were higher than those of direct seedings. Yield and most of yield components were similar among the cultural methods although the number of spikelets per panicle at MT was higher and 1,000 grain weight at FS was lower compared to other cultural methods. Grain appearance (rusty, chalky abortive rice), protein and amylose contents and alkali digestibility were observed.

In this study we evaluated genetic divergence among six Tongil-type rice varieties and assessed the relationship between genetic distance and hybrid performance in all possible non-reciprocal crosses between them. The 15 F1 hybrids along with the six parents were evaluated for eight traits of agronomic importance including yield in a replicated field trial. The six parents were examined for DNA polymorphism using 120 random decamer oligonucleotide primers. A total of 168 polymorphic variants were generated and based on the polymorphism data, genetic distances (GDs) ranged from 0.157 to 0.383. Heterosis was observed in hybrids for most of the traits, and yield exhibited the highest heterosis among the eight traits examined. The correlation values of GDs with F1 performance were not significant. Also the correlations of GDs with midparent and better-parent heterosis were not significant except for spikelets per panicle. Our results have indicated that GDs based on the RAPDs markers may not be useful for predicting heterotic combinations in Tongil-type rice and are supportive of the idea that the level of correlations between hybrid performance and genetic divergence is dependent on the germlplasm employed.

Recently, peoples are greatly concerned with global temperature change because global warming can be a potential serious effect on agriculture production such as yield reduction and poor grain quality. On the other hand, it can bring some beneficial effects through twice cultivation of rice in temperate region. In order to overcome this situation, we developed extremely early-maturing rice 'Milyang255' which heading date was similar with 'Jinbuolbyeo'. Based on agronomic characteristics of 'Milyang255', it has very short stature as 65 cm of culm length and slightly lower spikelets number per panicle compared with that of 'Jinbuolbyeo'. However, the grain appearance, palatability and other items were better than those of 'Jinbuolbyeo' in panel test of cooked rice. The milled rice yield of 'Milyang255' is 3.94 MT/ha at the early transplanting. Especially, its grain filling rate was higher and faster than Jinbuolbyeo and the head rice ratio in milled rice was also higher. Thus, 'Milyang255' can efficiently reduce the growth duration of rice cultivation and also be useful material for research on twice cultivation of rice in Korea.

Rice sheath blight (ShB), caused by Rhizoctonia solani K$\ddot{u}$hn, is one of the serious fungal disease resulting in severe yield loss in rice field worldwide. There are limited sources of genetic resistance and no commercial cultivar with high level of ShB resistance is currently available in Korea. In order to seek available resources with high level of resistance to ShB, 40 rice germplasms were used to evaluate disease reactions including ShB, leaf blast and bacterial leaf blight and these germplasms also examined agronomic traits such as days to heading, culm length, panicle length, No. of panicles, No. of spikelets per panicle and so on. There is wide variation in agronomic characters and disease reactions. Rice germplasms also showed considerably different ShB reaction caused by inoculation at seedling stage. Areumbyeo, Gayabyeo, IR579-Es44 and IR64 showed more strong reaction to ShB than the others. Especially, Gayabyeo is considerably available to develop a new variety with resistance to ShB in Korea.

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.
