Staling rates of cooked rice from Akibare (Japonica) and Milyang 23 (Indica) stored at $21^{\circ}C$ and $72^{\circ}C$ were analyzed using the expression ${\theta}={\exp}\;(-kt^n)$, where ${\theta}$ in the fraction of uncrystallized material remaining after time t. The values for the rate constant (k) indicated that the firming process for both rices was not dependent on the variety, but was dependent on the storage temperature. The Avrami exponent (n) was found to be unity at two temperatures, suggesting that the staling of cooked rice is characterized by instantaneous nucleation followed by rod-like growth of starch crystals.

The arbitrary primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR) has been used to detect the genetic alternations in the related species. Simple and reproducible fingerprints of complex genomes can be generated using single arbitrary chosen primers and the PCR. The technique was applied to the Oryza species and characterized the relationship among three cultivars of rice species based on theresult of genomic DNA fingerprints. The results indicated that the polymorphism revealed in rice strains and the differences in the PCR product pattern could be represented for each strainis. There was many variationsin the PCR product pattern between cv. Dongin(japonica type)and cv.Hyangdo (indica type), and our chosen AP-primers can ge as markers for strain identification and verfication.

The loss of Korean sovereignty by Japan in 1910 was an unforgettable national humiliation of Korea who maintained the sovereignty for 5000 years. The process of Korea annexation into Japan was reviewed and its consequences to the food and nutritional status of Koreans were analyzed by using the records in Korea as well as in overseas. The records of the colonial Government-General of Joseon shows superficial figures distorting the actual life of Koreans at that time. Japan extorted 45% of rice and 44% of soybeans produced in Korea in 1933, and imported poor quality long-grain rice (Indica type) to replace partly the extorted rice. The food and nutritional situation of Koreans was miserable, and hunger and malnutrition were prevalent in the country for the 36 years. The height of Koreans became smaller than Japanese, who was called as 'little people (Oein)' in Korea historically.

A chilling-tolerant japonica-type and a chilling-susceptible indica-type of rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants were compared with respect to various physiological parameters during chilling and subsequent recovery. The japonica-type and the indica-type of rice cultivars used were Ilpumbyeo and Taebaekbyeo, respectively. The two rice cultivars exhibited little or no differences in the changes of leaf fresh weight and chlorophyll content during chilling at $5^{\circ}C$ for 3 days. During subsequent recovery at $25^{\circ}C$, however, Ilpumbyeo restored its growth more rapidly than Taebaekbyeo. Since the changes of relative water content, malondialdehyde production, an estimate of lipid peroxidation, and chlorophyll fluorescence were significantly different in the two rice cultivars during the chilling and subsequent recovery, they were found to be more sensitive physiological parameters than fresh weight and chlorophyll content. However, the differences in relation to water content, malondialdehyde production, and chlorophyll fluorescence between the two rice cultivars were smaller during chilling than those during subsequent recovery. These results suggest that relative water content, malondialdehyde production, and chlorophyll fluorescence could widely be used as important physiological parameters for screening chilling-tolerant plants.

An insertion sequence identified as a solo long terminal repeat (LTR) of a new rice copia-like retrotransposon was detected in the ORE of the Pi-b gene from the rice cv. Nipponbare, and was designated as Osr1. Osr1 consists of a 6386 bp nucleotide sequence including 965 bp LTRs on both ends with an 82％ nucleotide sequence identity to the wheat Tarl retrotransposon on reverse transcriptase. Nucleotide divergence was noted among the individual LTRs, as well as the coding region of Osr1. Various restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of LTR were detected in indica cultivars, whereas, only a few could be detected in the japonica cultivars. The population of Osr1 is lower in the wild-type rice compared with that in the domesticated cultivars. The insertion of LTR sequence in the h-b gene in the susceptible cultivar suggested that retro-tyansposon-mediated insertional mutation might play an important role in the resistance breakdown, as well as in the evolution of resistance genes in rice.

Performance of 3 indica ${\times}$ japonica(Chilseungbyeo, Samgangbyeo, and Gayabyeo), 7 japonica(Yeongsanbyeo, Yeongdeugbyeo, Hwajinbyeo, Palgongbyeo, Seumjinbyeo, Tamjinbyeo, and Milyang 95), and 2 indica(Tebonnet and Lemont) rice varieties was tested at 1, 3, 5, and 7cm seeding depths in a growth chamber and field. In the growth chamber the number of days from seeding to seedling emergence increased as seeding depth increased, while percent germination and emergence and emergence / germination ratio decreased. However, in the field seedling emergence at 1em seeding depth delayed slightly compared to 3cm probably due to lack of soil moisture. The number of seedlings and maximum tillers at 1, 3, and 5cm seeding depths was similar, but it was higher compared to 7cm seeding depth. Yield and yield components were similar among the seeding depths when all the varieties averaged although 1,000-grain weight was slightly higher at 7cm deeding depth compared to others. At 1cm seeding depth the length of mesocotyl of all varieties was similar and ranged 0.1-0.2cm and that of coleptile ranged 0.8-1.1cm. As seeding depth increased up to 7cm Tebonnet which showed the highest percent emergence emerged by elongation of both mesocotyl and coleoptile, while the other varieties emerged largely by elongation of coleoptile.

ARice is an important staple food in the world and rice yield is one of the main traits for rice breeding. Several genes involved in increasing the yield have been identified through map-based gene cloning within natural variations in rice. These identified genes are good targets for introducing a genetic trait in molecular breeding. Here, we chose five genes reported to be involved in increasing grain number per panicle in rice; Gn1a, dep1, Apo1, Ghd7, and Nal1. We developed In/Del markers for Gn1a, and dep1, Apo1, and applied the reported SNP markers for Ghd7 and Nal1. We were easily able to examine the genotype of each gene on agarose gel. We tested the genotypes on 479 rice resources that we held with evaluated molecular markers. According to the genotype of each gene, rice resources were divided into 13 haplotypes, and most of the Indica and Japonica varieties were included in haplotypes 1 and 13, respectively. When we examined the effect of each gene on grain number per panicle and panicle number per plant, panicle number per plant in the yield negative allele group for each gene was reduced by approximately 0.3 to 0.8 compared to that in the yield positive allele group. However, the number of yield positive alleles for each gene was higher by about 21 to 27 grains per panicle than that of yield negative alleles. Although most of the varieties were grouped in haplotypes 1 and 13, we believe that this genotype information with evaluated molecular markers will be useful in rice breeding for increasing the yield with grain number per panicle.

These studies were conducted to obtain basic information of the rice blast resistance in comparision with blast occurrence patterns in the blast nursery test in Korea. One hupdred and twenty nine rice varieties including several blast differential varieties and 30 combinations of pedigree lines were tested at six different locations, Suweon, Chulweon, Chuncheon, Iri, Jinan, Imsil, and Milyang, in 1976~1977. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. When blast resistance was tested using three sets of differential varieties at six locations, prevalent races were different depending on the location and differential variety set tested. 2. There were regional differences in blast disease reation among Japonica rice varieties and among Indica${\times}$Japonica crosses. 3. At Suweon blast disease reactions of pedigree lines were different from that at Imsil. 4. Three varietal groups were made depending on the develpment of rice blast in the nursery test. 5. In general, highly resistant varieties to rice leaf blast were also resistant to neck blast, but there were exceptions.

Mechanical properties of rice plants were tested to determine compressive force, bending force, tensile force and shear force for improvement of harvesting machines and for efficient utilization of rice culm during the proper harvesting period. Rice varieties used in this study were two Japonica varieties with Irri 348 and Jinju, and two $Indica{\times}Japonica$ hybrids with Seogwang and Taebaeg, which were grown in the standard fertilization field of Chungnam Rural Development Office. Also Jinju and Taebaeg were tested to elucidate the shearing characteristics which included shear force-strain relationship, shear force and shear energy according to the position from the ground level, the shearing angle to the rice culm, and the moisture content. 1. Compressive force, bending force, tensile force and shear force were higher In Japonica varieties than $Indica{\times}Japonica$ hybrids. 2. Shear force to overall culm length decreased progressively to upper positions in Jinju variety but a constant shear force was approximately showed between the ground level and the position of 21cm in Taebaeg variety. 3. Shear force and shear energy increased with increase of the cross sectional area, and the rates of increase were high in general up to the cross sectional area of $10mm^2$ and then they became dull very much. 4. Shear force and shear energy decreased with decrease of moisture content of rice culm after cutting up to the moisture content of 60% (w. b.) and then they did not change significantly.
