These experiments were conducted to investigate water uptake, electrical conductivity, germination percentage, seedling growth, and seedling establishment rate in direct seeding cultivation of rice. The rice seeds of six japonica type varieties were coated with 12 kinds of polymers in a standard concentration of 0.2% using seed coating machine. The water absorption of the polymer-coated seeds under saturation conditions was not different among varieties, and was the highest in kulcel, maltrin, and waterlock on the polymer-coated seeds. The electrical conductivity with waterlock (55.0 $\mu scm^{-1}g^{-1}$) was higher than the control plot (45.6 $\mu scm^{-1}g^{-1}$) and other treatments. The germination of the polymer-coated seeds was 95.9% at control plot, 92.7% at low temperature and 35.7% at high temperature. The total dry weight of seed decreased in the order of low temperature, control plot, and high temperature, and was effective in pvp (polyvinyl pyrrolidone), opadry, and sacrust. The seedling establishment rate in direct seeding cultivation ranged from 74.9 to 81.0% in flooded paddy surface, and ranged from 64.7 to 76.6% in dry paddy. In both cases, it decreased in the order of early, medium and medium-late varieties, but was enhanced in daran 8600, sepirect, and sacrust. According to this study the recommended polymers for direct seeding cultivation of rice are daran 8600, sepirect, and sacrust.

A semiselective agar medium (XCO) was developed for the isolation of bacterial blight pathogen, Xanthomonas campestris pv. oryzae, from rice seed. The medium contained yeast extract 1.0 g, peptone 2.0 g, sucrose 5.0 g, sodium glutamate 1.0 g, FeSO4.7H2O 0.05 g, Fe.EDTA 1 mg, cephalexin 20 mg, Evan blue (0.1%) 1.5 ml, bromcresol purple (0.1%) 2.5ml, cycloheximide 100 mg and agar 15.0 g per liter. Colonies of X. c. pv. oryzae were 4~5 mm in diameter, smooth, round, blue (darker center) and convex after 6 days incubation at 28$^{\circ}C$. The recovery of 6 isolates of X. c. pv. oryzae on the XOC medium ranged from 81% to 120% (mean 98.2%) in comparison to Wakimoto's medium. The number of saprophytic bacteria from 10 rice seed lots on XCO medium was reduced to 70.4% of that on Wakimoto's medium. The recovery of X. c. pv. oryzae added to rice seed on XOC medium ranged from 67% to 87% (mean 75.6%) of that on Wakimoto's medium.

The purpose of this study was to improve the culturability of 'IR 36', a indica type rice cultivar using DNA marker associated with the ability of plant regeneration in anther and seed culture. The culturability of 6 rice cultivars and 2 indica/japonica lines ('MGRI 036', 'MGRI 079') were investigated in anther and seed culture. The culturability of 3 japonica rice cultivars were much higher than tongil and indica rice cultivars, and 'MGRI 036' and 'MGRI 079' has high culturability with 20% regenerability, also. 34 $BC_2F_4$ 4 lines were selected by marker screening using RZ400 among 90 $BC_2F_4$ lines derived from a cross between 'MGRI 079' and 'IR 36'. The frequency of callus formation of 10 $BC_2F_4$ lines were higher than 'IR 36' in anther culture among selected 34 $BC_2F_4$ lines. The ability of plant regeneration of 10 lines were higher than 'IR 36' in the seed culture among selected 34 $BC_2F_4$ lines. A promising line, $BC_2F_4$-28, was selected to have better culturability in the anther and seed culture among selected 34 $BC_2F_4$ lines. The heading date and grain shape of the $BC_2F_4$-28 was similar to 'IR 36'. Using the RZ400 DNA marker associated with the culturability will be useful method for improving of indica rice culticvar's culturability in rice breeding program.

This experiment was conducted to find the causes of ineffective seed disinfection methods such as rice seeds soaking in hot water and prochloraz EC solution when the rice seeds were severely infected by Bakanae disease. In case of rice seeds collected from severely diseased field by Bakanae disease, the pathogen as the forms of spores and mycelium were infected in plumule and inner and outer integument of embryo, aleurone layer, and pericarp layer. When the rice seeds were soaked in hot water, the appearances of spores and hypha on the outer pericarp layer were severely disordered, however those of inner region of outer integument and aleurone layer were shown normal. The membrane of hypha on the outer pericarp layer was destroyed within 24 hours, while some spores were healthy and germinated 7 days after soaking, when the rice seeds soaked 24 hours in 125 ppm prochloraz solution at $30^{\circ}C$. These results indicated that the seed disinfection methods were ineffective on the Bakanae disease severely infected rice seed because the hot water did not transmit the pericarp layer of rice seed and also prochloraz solution did not effectively destroy the spore of pathogen.

This excperiment was conducted to investigate relation on seed dormancy and vi-viparous germination with sucrose content, fatty acid composition and abscisic acid content of rice seeds. The following results were obtained by this experiment. Sucrose content of brown rice harvested at 20 and 40 days after heading was higher in Japonica and Sare type varieties than in Tongil and Indica type rices. Positive relationship was found be-tween sucrose content of brown rice and viviparous germination rate of rice varieties tested.J aponica and Sare type rice varieties showed low proportion of oleic acid and higher proportion of linoleic acid in brown rice harvested at 20 and 40 days after heading than Tongil and Indica rices tested. Viviparous germination was negatively correlated with the proportion oleic acid and positively with that of linoleic acid. Abscisic acid content in hull of rice seeds stored for 30 days at 25/15$^{\circ}C$ fluctuation temperature condition was decreased more rapidly than 4$^{\circ}C$, and Japonica varieties tested showed lower con-tent of abscisic acid in rice hull than Tongil and Indica varieties used.

Brown rice grains are increasingly attended by consumers due to their potential health benefits of antioxidant capacity. Therefore, this research was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant activity of brown rice in Korea-native weedy rice germplasm. Two hundred and twenty one accessions of weedy rice used in this study were received from the National Agrobiodiversity Center of RDA, and were regenerated in the experimental field of Chonbuk National University. The sampled seeds were extracted using methanol and the extracts were analyzed using the 1, 1-dipheny-2-picrylhydrasyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay for antioxidant capacity determination. Among the all germplasm, the samples of seed coat in red colour, white colour, red -white mixing colour and brown colour were 171 (81%), 26 (12%), 12 (6%) and 2 (1%), respectively. The antioxidant activity values of all samples were varied in the range from 22.31% to 95.53 % and mean value was 82.09%. Depend on the seed coat colour, the average antioxidant activity of the extract of weedy rice seeds indicated that the following order in seed coat colour: red colour (89.11%) > the red-white mixing colour (70.67%) > brown colour (53.16%) > white colour (45.99%). The antioxidant activity of red coloured weedy rice were significantly higher than those of the others. It is suggested that Korea-native weedy rice accessions with high antioxidant activity could be developed as a potential functional food material by further research of component analysis.

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal recipe of rice cookies with two different amounts of Stevia rebaudiana leaf and grape seed oil, using a central composite design (CCD). In addition, mixing conditions of rice cookies were optimized by sensory evaluation and mechanical and physicochemical analysis using response surface methodology (RSM). RSM was used to obtain 10 experimental points (including two replicates of Stevia rebaudiana leaf and Grape seed oil), and the formulation of Stevia rebaudiana leaf added rice cookies was optimized using rheology. The results of mechanical and physicochemical analysis showed significant values for lightness, redness, yellowness, hardness, spread factor, loss rate, leavening rate, sweetness, moisture, pH, and density (P<0.001), results of the sensory evaluation showed significant values for color, flavor, taste, texture, appearance, and overall quality (P<0.05). As a results, optimal sensory ratio was found to be 1.98 g of Stevia rebaudiana leaf and 37.94 g of Grape seed oil.

Abiotic stresses such as high/low temperature, drought, salinity, and submergence directly or indirectly influence the physiological status and molecular mechanisms of rice which badly affect yield. Especially, the low temperature causes harmful influences in the overall process of rice growth such as uneven germination and the establishment of seedlings, which has become one of the main limiting factors affecting rice production in the world. It is of great significance to find the candidate genes controlling low-temperature tolerance during seed germination and study their functions for breeding new rice cultivars with immense low-temperature tolerance during seed germination. In this study, 120 lines of Cheongcheong/Nagdong double haploid population were used for quantitative trait locus analysis of low-temperature germinability. The results showed significant difference in germination under low different temperature conditions. In total, 4 QTLs were detected on chromosome 3, 6, and 8. A total of 41 genes were identified from all the 4 QTLs, among them, 25 genes were selected by gene function annotation and further screened through quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction. Based on gene function annotation and level of expression under low-temperature, our study suggested OsGPq3 gene as a candidate gene controlling viviparous germination, ABA and GA signaling under low-temperature. This study will provide a theoretical basis for marker-assisted breeding.
