On the basis of the establishment of the tobacco and asparagus cell lines both resistant to 1-4-oxalysine(OL) and accumulating more lysine (Ho & Loo, 1986), the authors extended their experience to rice for getting certain rices with the corresponding traits. Hulled rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Jingyin 127) caryopses were immersed in 75% ale. for 1 rnr and in calcium hypochlorite solution(38 available chlorine) for 25 min. then rinsed followed by 1% ethyl methanesulfonate for 1 hr. and rinsed the EMS away. After incubating on $MS solidified medium for 3 days in darkness, the embryos were isolated from the EMS-treated caryopses and cultured on R2 medium(Ohira et al. ,1973) to inducing callus. The surviving calli were subcultured on R2 medium containing OL(100 mg/l), none of the original type as the check can survive in this selective medium, for 5 weeks. The OL-resistant and growth active calli were selected out and transfered to MS supplemented with 6-benzylaminopurine 2 mg/l , 3-indoleacetic acid 0.5 mg/l, and OL 100 mg/l medium at 27”C(day) and tO”C(night) under cold white fluorescent light After 1.5 klux 12 hr photoperiod for selection and shoot regeneration. 9 weeks the green shoots were subcultured on MS supplemented with 1-naphthaleneacetic acid 0.1 mg/l, kinetin 0.1 mg/l, and OL 100 mg/l medium for 5 weeks, then transfered to R2 medium with NAA 0.1 mg/l, and kinetin 0.1 mg/l instead of 2,4-D until root formation (about four weeks). Then the rice plantlets were transfered to R2 medium with IAA 1 mg/l and OL 100 mg/l instead of 2,4-D for third selection at Through a week in hydroponic regenerated plant level for 5 weeks. the resistant green plants which roots culture as the hardening period, had been immersed in 1% available chlorine for 1 min. were transplanted Now the rice regenerated plants resisinto paddy pots in a phytotron. tant to oxalysine are flowering. (Fig. 1) another line of rice regenerated plants By using the similar method, resistant to OL from cultivar “Hanfeng” was selected out and cultured too. *To whom correspondence should be sent. research Acknowledgement: This :ras partially supported by the grant National Nature Sciences From the ‘oundation, No. 3861050. ‘-iefcrences I-io Chuaec;Pdui & Loo Shih-Wei (1986) analog-resistant cell Amino ’ mutant.
