Cellulose is a major component of plant cell which found in both primary and
secondary cell wall and synthesized by cellulose synthase (CESA) complexes. The partial
sequences of OsCESA4 and OsCESA9 genes in seven varieties of native upland rice were
determined.. The results found that OsCESA4 sequences showed the similarities to Oryza sativa
Japonica (98.7-99.5%) and Oryza sativa Indica (97.5-99.5%). While all seven OsCESA9
sequences revealed the same identity to both Oryza sativa Japonica (98.46%) and Oryza sativa
Indica (98.46%). Since, lodging problems in the native upland rice which has been cultivated in
Prachuap Khiri Khan Province (Pala U village) still unsolved. Therefore, the analysis of
cellulose synthase genes of these varieties would be used to fulfill the genetic information for
further upland rice breeding improvement.
