  • 1960년대 후반 인디카 품종과 자포니카 품종의 교잡에 의하여 새로운 통일형 벼 품종을 육성했고 그 재배기술을 확립했으며, 현재까지 이 재배기술을 이용하여 소비자들의 기호에 맞게 그리고 극한환경에 대응할 수 있는 다양한 품종들이 만들어졌다. 서로 다른 작물끼리 교배하여 얻은 F1을 가지고 반복적인 세대 진전을 통하여 도입을 원하는 우량한 유전자원의 형질이 더 이상 분리되지 않을 때 교배시킨 형질이 고정되었다고 볼 수 있으며 비로소 신품종이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 가뭄에 저항성을 띠는 HV23 계통을 모품종인 Ilmi와 교배한 집단과 벼멸구에 내성을 갖는 Drimi2ho와 교배한 집단의 F4, F5, 그리고 F6의 농업형질을 조사하여 고정 여부를 확인했다. HV23와 Drimi2ho/HV23 계통의 F5, F6를 비교하였을 때 그리고 Ilmi/HV23 계통의 F4, F5를 비교하였을 때 모두 유의하지 않은 정도의 형질 변이가 나타났기 때문에 농업형질이 고정되었다고 판단할 수 있었다. 일반적인 계통 육종법은 품종개량에 10년 이상의 시간이 드는 반면 본 연구에서는 4-5년 만에 형질이 고정되었음을 확인하였다.

  • Development of disease resistant plant is one of the important objectives in rice breeding programs because biotic stresses can adversely affect rice growth and yield losses. This study was conducted to identify lines with multiple-resistance genes to biotic stress among 173 hybrid rice breeding lines and germplasms using DNA-based markers. Our results showed that one hybrid rice line [IR98161-2-1-1-k1-3 (IR86409-3-1-1-1-1-1/IRBB66)] possessed 5 bacterial blight resistance genes (Xa4, xa5, Xa7, Xa13 and Xa21) while two hybrid rice lines [IR98161-2-1-1-k1-2 (IR86409-3-1-1-1-1-1/IRBB66) and 7292s (IR75589-31-27-8-33S(S1)/IR102758B)] possessed 3 bacterial blight resistance genes (Xa4, Xa7 and Xa21, and Xa3, Xa4 and xa5). Molecular survey on rice blast disease revealed that most of these lines had two different resistant genes. Only 11 lines possessed Pib, Pi-5, and Pi-ta. In addition, we further surveyed the distribution of insect resistant genes, such as Bph1, Bph18(t), and Wbph. Three hybrid breeding lines [IR98161-2-1-1-k1-3 (IR86409-3-1-1-1-1-1/IRBB66), IR98161-2-1-1-k1-2 (IR86409-3-1-1-1-1-1/IRBB66), and 7292s (IR75589-31-27-8-33S(S1) /IR102758B)] contained all three resistance genes. Finally, we obtained four hybrid rice breeding lines and germplasms [IR98161-2-1-1-k1-2 (IR86409-3-1-1-1-1-1/IRBB66), Damm-Noeub Khmau, 7290s, and 7292s (IR75589-31-27-8-33S(S1)/IR102758B)] possessing six-gene combination. They are expected to provide higher level of multiple resistance to biotic stress. This study is important for genotyping hybrid rice with resistance to diverse diseases and pests. Results obtained in this study suggest that identification of pyramided resistance genes is very important for screening hybrid rice breeding lines and germplasms accurately for disease and pest resistance. We will expand their cultivation safely through bioassays against diseases, pests, and disaster in its main export countries.

  • Developing elite hybrid rice varieties is one important objective of rice breeding programs. Several genes related to male sterilities, restores, and pollinators have been identified through map-based gene cloning within natural variations of rice. These identified genes are good targets for introducing genetic traits in molecular breeding. This study was conducted to breed elite hybrid lines with major genes related to hybrid traits and disease/insect resistance in 240 genetic resources and F1 hybrid combinations of rice. Molecular markers were reset for three major hybrid genes (S5, Rf3, Rf4) and thirteen disease/insect resistant genes (rice bacterial blight resistance genes Xa3, Xa4, xa5, Xa7, xa13, Xa21; blast resistance genes Pita, Pib, Pi5, Pii; brown planthopper resistant genes Bph18(t) and tungro virus resistance gene tsv1). Genotypes were then analyzed using molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS). Biological assay was then performed at the Red River Delta region in Vietnam using eleven F1 hybrid combinations and two control vatieties. Results showed that nine F1 hybrid combinations were highly resistant to rice bacterial blight and blast. Finally, eight F1 hybrid rice varieties with resistance to disease/insect were selected from eleven F1 hybrid combinations. Their characteristics such as agricultural traits and yields were then investigated. These F1 hybrid rice varieties developed with major genes related to hybrid traits and disease/insect resistant genes could be useful for hybrid breeding programs to achieve high yield with biotic and abiotic resistance.

  • 벼멸구(Nilaparvata lugens Stal)의 영기별, 시형별, 성별 및 교미유무별 우화경과일에 따른 감로배설량과 벼멸구의 실내사육충, 비래충 및 포장에서 2세대 경과된 충에 따른 생태형의 감로배설량을 조사한 결과 다음과 같다. 감수성품종 밀양 23호는 영기가 진행됨에 따라 감로배설량이 증가하여 5령기에는 1령기에 비해 6배이상 많았으며, 또 저항성품종 청청벼보다 2배이상 감로배설량이 많았다. 우화 후 경과일에 따른 감로배설량은 장.단시형 모두 우화 1일째는 적었으나, 우화 2일째부터 다소의 변이는 있었으나 증가하였다. 밀양 23호의 경우 교미한 장시형 암컷 성충의 감로배설량은 54.4$\textrm{mm}^2$로 교미하지 않은 장시형 암컷 성충의 43.6$\textrm{mm}^2$보다 높았고, 또한 교미한 단시형과 교미하지 않은 단시형 암컷성충은 각각 63.2$\textrm{mm}^2$, 55.2$\textrm{mm}^2$로 나타나 장시형에 비해 감로배설량이 많았다. 한편 암컷성충의 경우 장.단시형 모두 청청벼 보다 밀양 23호에서 약 3~4 배정도 높게 나타났다. 실내충, 비래충 및 포장충의 감로배설량은 생태형-1의 경우 밀양 23호에서 각각 76.0$\textrm{mm}^2$, 162.3$\textrm{mm}^2$, 118.3$\textrm{mm}^2$로 나타났으며, 생태형-2와 3도 실내충<포장충<비래충순으로 나타났다. 또한 생태형-2에 감수성인 청청벼에서의 실내충, 비래충, 포장충은 각각 42.1$\textrm{mm}^2$, 132.5$\textrm{mm}^2$, 113.5$\textrm{mm}^2$, 생태형-3에 감수성인 밀양 63호에서는 45.3$\textrm{mm}^2$, 251.4$\textrm{mm}^2$, 97.7$\textrm{mm}^2$로 밀양 23호에서와 같이 많은 감로배설량을 보였다. 그러나 각 생태형별 저항성품종에서는 실내충, 비래충, 포장충간에 감로배설량의 차이를 인정할 수 없었다. 따라서 벼품종에 대한 충체특성별 및 환경조건별로 가해능력의 차이가 있는 것으로 보아 앞으로 이러한 결과를 활용하면 벼멸구에 대한 저항성기작 연구와 벼멸구 생태 형들의 발생과 피해정도를 예측하여 벼멸구 방제에 중요한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

  • By the progress of genome sequencing, infrastructures for marker-assisted breeding (MAB) of rice came to be established. Fine mapping and gene isolation have been conducted using the breeding materials derived from natural variations and artificial mutants. Such genetic analysis by the genome-wide dense markers provided us the knowledge about the many genes controlling important traits. We identified several genes or quantitative trait loci (QTL) for heading date, blast resistance, eating quality, high-temperature stress tolerance, and so on. NILs of each gene controlling heading date contribute to elongate the rice harvest period. Determination of precise gene location of blast resistance gene pi21, allowed us to overcome linkage drag, co-introduction of undesirable eating quality. We could also breed the first practical rice cultivar in Japan with a brown planthopper resistance gene bph11 in the genetic back-ground of an elite cultivar. Discovery of major and minor QTLs for good eating quality allowed us to fine-tune of eating quality according to the rice planting area or usage of rice grain. Many rice cultivars have bred efficiently by MAB for several traits, or by marker-assisted backcross breeding through chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) using genetically diverse accessions. We are also systematically supporting the crop breeding of other sectors by MAB or by providing resources such as CSSLs. It is possible to pyramid many genes for important traits by using MAB, but is still difficult to improve the yielding ability. We are performing a Genomic Selection (GS) for improvement of rice biomass and grain yield. We are also trying to apply the genome editing technology for high yield rice breeding.

  • Background: There is an increasing concern in the role of microRNA (miRNA) in the pathogenesis of bone metastasis (BM) secondary to prostate cancer (CaP). In this exploratory study, we hypothesized that the expression of vinculin (VCL) and chemokine X3C ligand 1 (CX3CL1) might be down-regulated in clinical samples, most likely due to the post-transcriptional modification by microRNAs. Targeted genes would be up-regulated upon transfection of the bone metastatic prostate cancer cell line, PC3, with specific microRNA inhibitors. Materials and Methods: MicroRNA software predicted that miR-21 targets VCL while miR-29a targets CX3CL1. Twenty benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and 16 high grade CaP formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) specimens were analysed. From the bone scan results, high grade CaP samples were further classified into CaP with no BM and CaP with BM. Transient transfection with respective microRNA inhibitors was done in both RWPE-1 (normal) and PC3 cell lines. QPCR was performed in all FFPE samples and transfected cell lines to measure VCL and CX3CL1 levels. Results: QPCR confirmed that VCL messenger RNA (mRNA) was significantly down-regulated while CX3CL1 was up-regulated in all FFPE specimens. Transient transfection with microRNA inhibitors in PC3 cells followed by qPCR of the targeted genes showed that VCL mRNA was significantly upregulated while CX3CL1 mRNA was significantly down-regulated compared to the RWPE-1 case. Conclusions: The down-regulation of VCL in FFPE specimens is most likely regulated by miR-21 based on the in vitro evidence but the exact mechanism of how miR-21 can regulate VCL is unclear. Up-regulated in CaP, CX3CL1 was found not regulated by miR-29a. More microRNA screening is required to understand the regulation of this chemokine in CaP with bone metastasis. Understanding miRNA-mRNA interactions may provide additional knowledge for individualized study of cancers.

  • The aim of this study was to examine how plant terpenoids, as natural growth substrates or inducers, would affect the biodegradation of PCB congeners. Various PCB degraders that could grow on biphenyl and several terpenoids were tested for their PCB degradation capabilities. Degradation activities of the PCB congeners, 4,4-dichlorobiphenyl (4,4-DCBp) and 2,2-dichlorobiphenyl (2,2-DCBp), were initially monitored through a resting cell assay technique that could detect their degradation products. The PCB degraders, Pseudomonas ((S)-(-) limonene, p-cymene and $\alpha$-terpinene) whereas Arthrobacter sp. B1B could not grow on the terpenoids as a sole carbon source. The B1B strain grown on biphenyl exhibited good degradation activity for 4,4-DCBp and 2,2-DCBp, while the activity of strains P166 and T104 was about 25% that of the B1B strain, respectively. Concomitant GC analysis, however, demonstrated that strain T104, grown on (S)-(-) limonene, p-cymene and $\alpha$-terpinene, could degrade 4,4-DCBp up to 30%, equivalent to 50% of the biphenyl induction level. Moreover, strain T104 grown on (S)-(-) limonene, could also degrade 2,2-DCBp up to 30%. This indicates that terpenoids, widely distributed in nature, could be utilized as both growth and/or inducer substrate(s) for PCB biodegradation in the environment.

  • The role of bacteria in root canals and periapical infections is well known and established. In these bacteria, black-pigmented bacteria(BPH) play important role in endodontic infection. BPB are Gram negative anaerobic rods which are closely related 50 clinical symptoms such as pain, percussion, tenderness, foul odor, etc. In America and Europe, many studies on BPB have been done and are continued. But, relatively few studies have been done in Korea, especially its prevalence in Korean population is not yet studied. The purpose of this study is to establish prevalence of BPB in infected root canals and periapical abscesses in Korean people. Microbial samples were collected from the root canals of 34 intact tooth with periapical rarefactions of endodontic origin and 3 periapical abscesses. All samples were incubated in an anaerobic chamber(Coy, Model No. 77. Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.). Identification of In microorganism was based on its growth in the anaerobic chamber, colonial pigmentation, colonial morphology, Gram stain, and Rapid ID32A(BioMericux SA/69280 Marcy-l'Etoile/France) results. In addition, the polyme ase chain reaction using specific primers for 16S rRNA genes were used differentiate Prevotella nigrescens for Prevotella intermedia. The results were as follows : 1. In this study, thirteen (35%) of thirty seven samples were positive for the growth of BPB. In thirteen samples, sixteen strains of BPR were found. 2. The most frequently identified BPB in root canals and abscesses in Korean were P. nigrescens 5/37(14%) and P. intermedia 5/37(14%). Porphyromonas gingivalis 3/37(8%), Porphyromonas endodontalis 2/37(5%) and Prevotella loecheii 1/37(3%) were also found. 3. In this study, no significant differences were found between the prevalence of BPB in Korean and that of American and European.
