AbstractIn 2014, a mung bean cultivar, Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek ‘Dado’, was derived from a hybrid between ‘Jeonnam14’ and ‘IT208777’ developed in 2001 at the Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research and Extension Services, South Korea. ‘Dado’ has an erect growth habit, lobed leaflets, green hypocotyls, light yellow corolla, and dull green seed surface. The number of pods per plant was 23.3, 1.5 more than that of the control cultivar ‘Owool’, and the 1000-seed weight was 43 g, 6 g lighter than that of the control. ‘Dado’ and ‘Owool’ exhibited similar field resistance to mung bean mottle virus, cercospora leaf spot, powdery mildew, and lodging. ‘Dado’ had a sprout yield ratio of 824%, 132% higher than that of ‘Owool’, and its hard seed rate was 1.2%, 3.1% lower than that of the control. The average seed yield of ‘Dado’ was 1.9 ton/ha, which was 23% greater than that of ‘Owool’ (Registration No. 5874).

A new mung bean cultivar, Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek ‘Samhwang’, was derived from a cross between ‘Samgang’ and ‘KM9901-3B-15-2-4’ obtained in 2006 and developed at the Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research and Extension Services (JARES) in 2014. ‘Samhwang’ has an erect growth habit, lobed leaflets, green hypocotyls, light yellow corolla, and a dull yellow seed surface. Its stem length was 64 cm, 5 cm shorter than that of the control cultivar ‘Owool’. The 1000-seed weight was 53 g, i.e., 4 g heavier than that of ‘Owool’. ‘Samhwang’ exhibited similar field resistance to mung bean mottle virus, cercospora leaf spot, powdery mildew, and lodging when compared with that of the control cultivar. The sprout yield ratio and hard seed rate were the same as those of ‘Owool’. The average seed yield of ‘Samhwang’ was 1.76 ton/ha, which was 14% greater than that of ‘Owool’ (Registration No. 5877).

A cowpea cultivar Vigna unguiculata L. Walp ‘Seonhyeon’ is a cross species between V. unguiculata ‘IT145373’ and V. unguiculata ‘IT101362’ developed at the Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research and Extension Services (JARES) in 2017. ‘Seonhyeon’ is an erect plant with an intermediate plant habit, green hypocotyls, light purple-colored corolla, heart-shaped leaflets, black seed surface, and straight, brown mature pods. The anthocyanin content of ‘Seonhyeon’ was 1,632 µg/g, and it contained seven anthocyanins, including cyanidin-3-glucoside and delphinidin-3-glucoside. The stem length of ‘Seonhyeon’ was 54 cm, which was 13 cm longer than that of the control cultivar ‘Okdang’. Its 100-seed weight was 11.8 g, which was 3.6 g lighter than that of the control cultivar. Field resistance of ‘Seonhyeon’ to leaf and systemic diseases was similar to that of the control cultivar, whereas its field resistance to lodging was slightly lower compared to that of the control cultivar. The average yield of ‘Seonhyeon’ was 2.26 ton/ha, which was 15% higher compared to that of control cultivar. Black seed coat of the ‘Seonhyeon’ cultivar is expected to contribute to species specialization as well as to development of various processed products. (Registration number: 7499)

Its first flowering and maturing dates were approximately seven and ten days earlier than that of the control cultivar ‘Seoweon’. The stem length of ‘Okdang’ was 42 cm, which was 57 cm shorter than that of the control cultivar. Its 100-seed weight was 16.6 g, which was heavier than that of the control cultivar by 5.9 g. The weight ratio of the seed coat for the entire seed was 12%, which was 1.4%p lower than that of the control cultivar. Its field resistance to leaf and systemic diseases was as strong, or slightly weaker than that of the control cultivar. In addition, ‘Okdang’ had a high lodging resistance. The average yield of ‘Okdang’ was 1.85 ton/ha, which was 40% higher than that of the control cultivar ‘Seoweon’ (Cultivar registration number: 5879).
