The release of extremely early maturing varieties has made it possible to cultivate rice in Hokkaido (NL45-42°) in Japan, the northern limit region of paddy rice cultivation. Until then, rice cultivation in this region has been impracticable due to the climate condition, especially short summer and long-day more than 15 hours during summer. Experiment results confirmed that the success of rice cultivation in this area depends on raising photoperiod insensitivity varieties with short basic vegetative growth period. Moreover, in this study, the genetic factors controlling the photoperiod insensitivity of Hokkaido varieties were analyzed by using 8 kinds of tester lines for three loci,E1, E2, andE3, controlling photoperiod sensitivity. It was found out that all the varieties examined carryel, a photoperiod insensitivity allele ofE1locus, but as for the other loci,E2andE3, the existence of plural alleles were recognized. We have already clarified that almost all the japonica-type varieties grown in Japan (except Hokkaido) and Taiwan carryE1bringing about strong photoperiod sensitivity. Accordingly, it can be concluded thatelis the gene essential to Hokkaido varieties: the interchange ofE1withe1enabled rice cultivation under long-day condition.
