ABSTRACT
Among the damage insects of rice, the brown planthopper
(Nilaparvata lugens Stal.) is a major threat to rice production
and causes significant yield loss annually, especially in Asian
countries. Host-plant resistance is an important breeding strategy
to reduce the damage caused by brown planthopper (BPH) and
increase rice productivity. In this study, thirty rice cultivars
obtained from Mekong Delta Development Research Institute
were detected BPH resistance gene by SSR (Simple sequence
repeats) marker RM13, RM279, RM190 and STS (Sequence-
tagged site) marker 7312.T4A. Based on the analysis of PCR
products on agarose gel, two SSR markers RM13 and RM270
showed unique bands on agarose gel for all rice cultivars tested
as well as didn’t link tightly to BPH resistance gene. In contrast,
the SSR marker RM190 and STS marker 7312.T4A revealed the
tightly linkage to BPH resistance gene Bph3 and Bph18,
respectively. Among thirty rice cultivars tested with RM190, there
were sixteen rice cultivars showed the BPH resistant ability. By
marker 7312.T4A, the analysis of HinfI -digested PCR products
indicated that twelve rice cultivars possessed Bph18 gene.
Key words: Brown planthopper (BPH), biotype, BPH resistance
gene, SSR marker, STS marker.

1. INTRODUCTION
Brown plant hopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stal.) (BPH) is
the most dangerous insect pest on rice production because it not
only sucks the sap and burns the plant but also acts as a vector to
transfer dangerous virus diseases such as ragged stunt and grassy
stunt virus. In most of Asian countries, BPH is one of the main
factors that causes serious yield reduction. Recently, in the
Mekong delta of Viet Nam, BPH caused dwarf-yellowing and
ragged stunt disease on 70,000 ha of rice in Thu Dong and
Monsoon seasons (). BPH has ability that
can adapt with many kinds of rice cultivars by changing its
biotype. Therefore, the management of BPH on rice field is very
difficult.
Scientists have tried to find effective method for
controlling BPH. Recently, the application of BPH resistance rice
cultivars into production has been considered as one of the best
solutions. Up to now, there are 21 genes for BPH resistance and 4
BPH biotypes that have been investigated from cultivated and
wild rice cultivars (Alam and Cohen (1998), Su et al. (2002),
Soundararajan et al. (2004), Zhang (2007), Rahman et al. (2009).
Therefore, it is very necessary to find specific markers that link
tightly to BPH resistance gene as well as supplement new BPH
resistance rice varieties for rice production more effectively.
In this research, thirty rice cultivars originated from
Mekong Delta Development Research Institute will be
investigated BPH resistance gene by SSR and STS marker.

Objectives:
* To detect brown plant hopper resistance genes on some rice
cultivars of Mekong Delta by STS marker (7312.T4A) and SSR
markers (RM13, RM270 and RM190).
* To find suitable PCR amplification formulas for detecting BPH
resistance genes of primers used in experiment.
