Six rice cultivars showing various types of resistance or susceptibility to Pyricularia oryzae in the field were used to study the relationship between susceptibility and contents of carbohydrates, amino acids and phenolics at different plant maturities and leaf ages under controlled environmental conditions. No consistent differences between the susceptible cultivars and adult-plant-resistant cultivars were found in terms of the contents of individual carbohydrates, total amino acids and phenolics in rice leaves throughout the plant development only the adult-plant-resistant cultivar Dobong had lower contents of inositol throughout the plant development than the other cultivars. The amounts of sucrose, inositol, glucose, and fructose increased in all tested cultivars at the eighth leaf stage than those at the fifth leaf stage, but slightly decreased at the twelfth leaf stage. In contrast, total amino acids and phenolics gradually decreased during plant development. With increasing age of rice leaves, the amounts of total soluble amino acids and phenolics gradually increased in healthy fifth leaf tissues, although there were no significant differences between the cultivars. In particular, a high level of phenolics existed in old fifth leaves of the cultivar Dobong. These results suggest that increased resistance to blast of matured rice plants and old leaves may be the two different phenomina derived from the physiological changes occurring during plant development and leaf senescence, probably functioning differently in P. oryzae development
