Nutritional assessment of transgenic crops to improve safety evaluations is important for food production. An oxidative stress-tolerant rice was generated by stable insertion of the TC gene-a tocopherol cyclase isolated from tobacco-into the genome of a common variety of japonica colored rice. The nutritional composition of the brown rice grains from the transgenic TC line was compared with that of the parental rice cultivar Heugnambyeo and two different varieties of non-transgenic rice. The results indicate that the analyzed nutritional compositions of the brown grains from the transgenic TC line were within the range of values reported for other commercial lines, and measurements of nutritional compositions were equivalent to those of the non-transgenic rice.

Rice ageing describes the changes in physical and chemical properties of rice grains during storage that alter the eating quality of rice. The prevention of deterioration in palatability of rice during storage is important for stable supply. In this study, We conducted to select the variety with superior palatability after storage at room temperature. 'Yeonghojinmi' had much higher head rice ratio of milled rice than that of 'Ilmi', 'Junam'and 'Hwayeong'at similar moisture content of approximately 15%. Grossiness and stickiness were higher in 'Yeonghojinmi' than that of the others. Meanwhile, yellowness(b value) of cooked rice was lower in 'Yeonghojinmi' than that of the others. Of the four varieties, Yeonghojinmi was maintained good eating quality after storage in room temperature, which also contributed to differences in palatability, such as protein content, glossiness, stickiness and color of cooked rice.

Unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) can acquire images with lower cost than conventional manned aircraft and commercial satellites. It has the advantage of acquiring high-resolution aerial images covering in the field area more than 50 ha. The purposes of this study is to develop the rice grain yield distribution using UAV. In order to develop a technology for estimating the rice yield using UAV images, time series UAV aerial images were taken at the paddy fields and the data were compared with the rice yield of the harvesting area for two rice varieties(Singdongjin, Dongjinchal). Correlations between the vegetation indices and rice yield were ranged from 0.8 to 0.95 in booting period. Accordingly, rice yield was estimated using UAV-derived vegetation indices($R^2=0.70$ in Sindongjin, $R^2=0.92$ in Donjinchal). It means that the rice yield estimation using UAV imagery can provide less cost and higher accuracy than other methods using combine with yield monitoring system and satellite imagery. In the future, it will be necessary to study a variety of information convergence and integration systems such as image, weather, and soil for efficient use of these information, along with research on preparing management practice work standards such as pest control and nutrient use based on UAV image information.

This study was conducted to evaluate the physiological and ecological characters of rice cultivars suitable for low fertilized condition. 5 rice cultivars(Jinmibyeo, Sobibyeo, Hwayeongbyeo, Nagdongbyeo and Junambyeo) were cultivated for selection under 3 different nitrogen application levels, and 1 cultivars were selected. The results obtained are summarized as follows ; High yielded rice cultivars under low N application level were Junambyeo, Jinheng and Sobibyeo. Also these cultivars were yielded highly under conventional level(11kg/10a). Milled rice yield under conventional level(11kg/10a) was positively correlated with them under low N levels. Milled rice yield was most affected by no. of grain/m². Rice cultivars that were high crop growth rate(CGR) before heading stage were Junambyeo, Sobibyeo and Nagdongbyeo. Grain filling rate was increased mostly until 20 days after heading, and decreased after this stage. Nitrogen use efficiency was higher under low N level(5.5kg/10a) than conventional level(11kg/10a). Especially, Junambyeo was most low in Apparent recovery of applied N(AR) under low N application level, but most high in Agronomic N use efficiency(ANUE). This characteristics of Junambyeo will to be useful for selection of variety suitable for growing under low fertilized condition.

This experiment was carried out to clarify the effect of various transplanting dates and agroclimatic zones on quality of brown rice and yield of a pigmented rice variety ‘Josaengheugchal’. The black density of brown rice in Jecheon (central inland region) showed a slight difference among the transplanting dates, but in Cheongwon (western sobaek inland region) that had increased at the transplanting dates of June 10th to 20th. cyanidin 3-glucoside (C3G) content at the same transplanting date in Jecheon was higher than Cheongwon, and the overall C3G content was increased at the later transplanting dates. The optimum transplanting date estimated by brown rice yields and C3G content was May 11th (491 kg/10a) in Jecheon and June 16th (468 kg/10a) in Cheongwon.

BACKGROUND: ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol, a mixture of ferulic acid esters of triterpene alcohols and sterols, are a nutritionally important group of rice secondary metabolites. The ${\gamma}$-Oryzanol content and composition were found to vary with enviromental factors such as growth temperature, varietal origin, and cultivation method. Therefore, the effect of green manure treatments will be also be an important factor in their content. METHODS AND RESULTS: The ${\gamma}$-Oryzanols extracted using dichloromethane/methanol were analyzed equipped liquid chromatography with a diode array detector. A total of ten components of ${\gamma}$-oryzanol including ${\Delta}7$-stigmastenyl ferulate were isolated of which, cycloartenyl ferulate, 24-methylenecycloartanyl ferulate, campesteryl ferulate and sitosteryl ferulate were identified as the major components in Korean rice variety, Unkwang. The ${\gamma}$-oryzanol content in rice, in the presence of nitrogen fertilization using green manure was similar to conventional nitrogen fertilization, but was higher than the control(no fertilizations). The ${\gamma}$-oryzanol ontent in rice, in the presence of hairy vetch as green manure crop was the highest compared to other crops (opium-poppy, crimson clover, cornflower). As a result of PLS-DA using SIMCA 11.0 ver. as multivariate analysis program on the basis of total data, in all samples, the specific pattern and cluster of ${\gamma}$-oryzanol scores according to green manure crops and conditions were confirmed with possible distinguishing nitrogen effects. CONCLUSION: The nitrogen contained in the green manure crops is considered to play a major role in the formation of ${\gamma}$-oryzanol. Hairy vetch which contains higher nitrogen increased the concentration of ${\gamma}$-oryzanol in rice.

BACKGROUND: The carotenoid-biofortified (PAC) rice was generated by inserting phytoene synthase (Psy) and carotene desaturase (Crtl) genes isolated from Capsicum annuum cv. Nockwang and Pantoea ananatis into the genome of a conventional variety of rice (Nakdongbyeo). In our present study, we studied the effects on insecticide susceptibility of Rice Water Weevil (Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus). METHODS AND RESULTS: The L. oryzophilus were fed on carotenoid-biofortified (PAC) rice and its near non-genetically modified (GM) counterparts (Nakdongbyeo) under $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, humidity of $60{\pm}5%$, and photoperiod 16L:8D for more than 60 days. Ten adults were soaked in the Clothianidin SC solution for 5 second in different concentrations, and were detected the mortalities after 24, 48 and 72 hours respectively. Every experiment was conducted with three replications. The cumulative mortalities of L. oryzophilus exposed to Clothianidin SC were similar between two types of feed administration. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggested that carotenoid-biofortified rice might not affect the insecticide susceptibilities of Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus.

Rice embryo is more abundant than endosperms in nutrients such as proteins, lipids, and vitamin B1. In this study, we constructed p53 plasmid that could be expressed in a plant system, and investigated optimal germination conditions in a variety of media. For construction of p53 plasmid, we performed p53 amplification from pCDNA-p53, subcloned to TA cloning vector, and then reconstructed into pGEM-CaMV plant expression vector. On the other hand, we prepared a variety of imbibition buffers and complete media for efficient germination of the rice embryo. Imbibition buffers prepared with different concentrations of salt or detergent showed no significant effect on germination efficiency. We prepared further culture media, such as solid agar, liquid media, and paper towel to establish the optimal conditions. Rice embryo showed germination rates of more than 70% in the solid medium, more than 60% in the paper towel medium, but less than 25% in liquid media, although germination rate did not differ with varying concentrations of salt and sucrose in culture media. Under the optimal germination conditions, we introduced the p53 plasmid using imbibition method, and finally detected human p53 gene expression in the germinated rice embryo. This method might present a novel, practical approach for evaluating efficient gene expression utilizing imbibition method in rice embryo.

The purpose of this study is to observe the growth habit and investigate a possibility of cultivating the GM rice (CaMsrB2-8) as a rice cultivar having drought resistance. Germination viability test showed that there was no significant difference between the drought-resistant GM(CaMsrB2-8) and non-GM (Ilmi) rice which was the parent variety at the GM rice. All the seeds of CaMsrB2-8 and Ilmi germinated after 6 days. Viviparous germination was not found in CaMsrB2-8 and Ilmi that was grown in greenhouse at $23{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ with water spraying for 40 days. Ratooning of CaMsrB2-8 and Ilmi was observed in 7-14 days and found uniform in field condition. CaMsrB2-8 seemed to grow faster than Ilmi. But CaMsrB2-8 and Ilmi were similar in 14-21 days. Both CaMsrB2-8 and Ilmi showed low seed shattering and more than 90% grains were ripened. All the seeds scattered in the paddy soil surface were not germinated after passing the winter. This study suggests that the drought-resistant GM rice was not significantly different with the parent variety of Ilmi in many agronomic characteristics such as wildness traits.
