Abstract

 The study aimed to classify Thai rice varieties together with drought tolerant rice varieties  previously reported in the 3,000 Rice Genomes Project by using variation within nucleotide sequences of drought tolerance-related genes. The comparison results of four drought tolerant genes which were soil surface rooting 1 (OsSor1), deeper rooting 1 (OsDro1), NAC domain-containing protein 5 (OsNAC5) and NAC domain-containing protein 6 (OsNAC6) genes from twenty-three rice varieties revealed 147 nucleotide sequence variations. Then, these rice varieties were classified into 2 major groups. Group I consists of 12 varieties which were Indica and Japonica rice. This group revealed the association with rice ecosystem, root characteristics and drought tolerance. Group II comprises 11 rice varieties, including landrace, upland, and lowland rice. However, there is no clear association with rice ecosystems for this group. Moreover, Jow Haw and Khao Pong Krai varieties were in the same group with deep roots and drought tolerant upland rice which will be used for the development of the drought tolerant DNA markers in rice breeding program.
