Research Abstract |
Rice cultivar Taichung 65, Nipponbare, Kasalath and C5444 were cultivated in the pots using masa soil. By using 15N labeled (NH4)2SO4 as nitrogen fertilizer and pure water as irrigation through total rice growth term, the amount of biological nitrogen fixation in rice could be estimated in the pot experiment. According to this method, biological nitrogen fixation in the F2 population from the cross between Taichung 65 and C5444 was estimated and it was revealed that this agronomic character may be controlled by genetic factors. Nitrogen fixation microorganisms could be easily detected using the PCR with DNA extracted from the soils, with which rice was cultivated, as the template DNA.
