Hyowon6, a mid-late maturing, good eating quality rice variety with multi-resistance, was developed by the rice breeding team of Pusan National University in 2013. This variety was derived from a cross between Hwayeong (as a multi-resistant parent) and Koshihikari (as a good eating quality parent). Selection by the pedigree breeding method was carried out until the F8 generation. A promising line, JS14-12-36-8-5-3-1-1-1, was developed and designated as HY103 in 2013. This variety headed on August 22, which was 11 days later than that of Hwayeong. The culm length and panicle length of Hyowon6 was 85.7 cm and 21.1 cm, respectively. The number of panicles per hill was 14.5 and the number of grains per panicle was 101.7. The ratio of ripened grain was approximately 92% and the 1,000-grain weight was approximately 21.36 g for brown rice, which were similar to those of Hwayeong. Hyowon6 was moderately resistant to lodging and also to neck blast, leaf blight, and stripe virus. The glossiness value of Hyowon6 was 83, which was considerably higher than that of Hwayeong.
The Jinsang 2 cultivar is a new late-maturing, low amylose rice variety with a medium to short culm created by the Seedpia Inc. breeding company in 2012. This variety was derived from a cross between Junam, a high-yield and lodging tolerant source, and DM3-8-72-9, which was derived from a cross between Donjinchal and Milkyqueen, with a low amylose content and superior agronomic traits. A general single seed descent method was applied to develop Jinsang 2 in the F3-F4 generations. During the F5-F8 generations, the breeding lines were selected through a pedigree breeding method. A promising line, JS6-B-52-8-3-5-1-B-B-B, was selected and named HJ-6 in 2011. This variety headed on the 25th of August, which was 14 days later than Hwayoung. The culm and panicle length of the variety was 71.6 cm and 19.9 cm, respectively. The milled rice from the variety had a dull and medium- to short-grain, and the 1,000-grain weight was around 20.0 g. It had a low amylose content of 12.2% and a low protein content of 6.8%. The yield performance of Jinsang 2 milled rice was about 5.36 MT/ha from the ordinary culture replicated yield trial test.
‘Jinsang’ is a new japonica rice variety was derived from a cross between ‘Yumetsukushi’ as a high grain quality and ‘Milky queen’ with low amylose content and good eating quality in 2000, and selected by pedigree breeding method until M8 generation. As a result, a promising line, JCH33M-15-1-9-1-5-1-1-1, was advanced and designated as the name of ‘HJ-2’ in 2009. This variety has about 111 days to heading after sowing and has 75.2 cm culm height. Milled rice of that shows dull and medium short grain and 1,000-grain weight was about 20.9 g. It has low amylose content of 11.9% and lower protein content of 6.8%. The yield potential of ‘Jinsang’ in brown rice was about 4.57 MT/ha by ordinary culture in replicated yield trial test.
