Perilla frutescens var. crispa has a unique aroma, purple leaves, and is similar in appearance to perilla. It is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family, in addition it is known to have various pharmacological effects. In 1995, 200 Gy of gamma rays were irradiated to ‘Chookyoupjaso’ landrace seeds, and 6 candidate mutant lines with optimal agronomic traits were selected in the first round. Of them, one of mutant lines which had an increased isoegomaketone content and an anti-inflammatory component, were selected and cultivated. Subsequently, the variety protection right was registered in 2022 under the varietal name 'Antisperilll'. The main characteristics of 'Antisperilll' were that the leaf color changed from purple to green, the seed color from brown to gray, and the 1,000 seed weight was 3.29 g, which was approximately 1.7 times heavier than the original wild type (1.94 g). The isoegomaketone content, which exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, was increased and is expected to be used as a new health food and raw material to improve inflammatory diseases (Registration No. 8812).
