| Research Abstract |
Acid soils limit crop yields around the world due to nutrients deficiency and mineral toxicity. Improving acid soil tolerant rice is very promising for environmentally sustainable agriculture. Towards genome-based breeding for acid soil, chromosomal region search and/or gene isolation of three kinds of traits, which are related to proton toxicity and phosphorus deficiency, were conducted. Tolerant alleles of isolated genes were introgressed to major variety Koshihikari and their effects wereobserved.
