AbstractIn 2016, ‘Jinyulmi’ was developed as a sweetpotato variety with good palatability and high marketable storage root yield. It was derived from a cross between ‘Sinchunmi’ and ‘Jeonmi’. ‘Sinchunmi’ is small, with an average storage root weight of 141 g and an average number of marketable storage roots of 3.4. ‘Jeonmi’ has a high storage root yield of 26.2 MT/ha and intermediate steamed storage root texture. The storage roots of ‘Jinyulmi’ are elliptical and have red skin and yellow flesh. ‘Jinyulmi’ is resistant to Fusarium wilt and moderately resistant to root-knot nematode. The steamed storage root texture of ‘Jinyulmi’ is intermediate and more tender than that of check variety ‘Yulmi’. The sweetness of ‘Jinyulmi’ steamed storage roots was 13.1, which was 12.9% higher than that of ‘Yulmi’. ‘Jinyulmi’ steamed storage roots are also more palatable than those of ‘Yulmi’. The marketable storage roots yield of ‘Jinyulmi’ was 24.2 MT/ha in the early season culture, which was 26.0% higher than that of ‘Yulmi’. Its average marketable storage root weight was 137 g in the normal season culture, which was lower than that of ‘Yulmi’, but the number of marketable storage roots per plant was 3.6, which was higher than that of ‘Yulmi’. The marketable storage root yield of ‘Jinyulmi’ was 28.6 MT/ha in the normal season culture, which was 19.7% higher than that of ‘Yulmi’. ‘Jinyulmi’ is, therefore, suitable for both early and normal season cultures (Registration No. 7053).

‘Danjami’ was developed in 2015 as a purple-fleshed sweetpotato variety with excellent palatability. It was derived from a cross between ‘Yeonjami’ with purple flesh and ‘Yeonhwangmi’ with good palatability. The storage roots of this variety are elliptical with purple skin, and light purple flesh. It is moderately resistant to fusarium wilt and resistant to root-knot nematode. The texture of the steamed storage root of ‘Danjami’ is slightly moist and more tender than that of ‘Sinjami’. Soluble solid content of steamed storage roots of ‘Danjami’ was 31.3 °Brix, which was 20.8% higher than that of ‘Sinjami’. The palatability of steamed storage roots of ‘Danjami’ was better than that of ‘Sinjami’. The anthocyanin content of storage roots of ‘Danjami’ was 55.1 mg/100g dry weight. Total polyphenol content and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity did not differ from that of ‘Sinjami’. The number of marketable storage roots per plant and the average weight of marketable storage root was 2.8 and 136 g under the normal and late-season culture in ‘Danjami’, respectively. The marketable storage root yield of ‘Danjami’ was 21.5 MT/ha under the normal and late-season culture, which was 78.8% of that of ‘Sinjami’. The yield of marketable storage root over 50 g of ‘Danjami’ was 15.3 MT/ha under the early-season culture, which was 28.8% lower than that under the normal and late-season culture. ‘Danjami’ was more suitable for the normal and late-season culture than for the early-season culture (Registration No. 6465).

‘Hogammi’ was developed as a sweetpotato variety with β-carotene content and excellent palatability in 2015. It was derived by crossing ‘AB95007-2’, which has good shape and storage root yield, and ‘Annoimo’, which has light orange flesh and good palatability. ‘Hogammi’ had storage roots with long elliptical shape, red skin, and light orange flesh. The texture of the steamed storage root of ‘Hogammi’ was intermediate or slightly moist, and it was more tender than that of ‘Yulmi’. The soluble solid content of the steamed storage roots of ‘Hogammi’ was 29.7 °Brix, which was 10.8% higher than that of ‘Yulmi’. The palatability of the steamed storage roots of ‘Hogammi’ was better than that of ‘Yulmi’. The β-carotene content of the storage roots of ‘Hogammi’ was 9.8 mg/100 g dry weight. ‘Hogammi’ was moderately resistant to

To improve their income, farmers should cultivate sorghum varieties with high productivity, short breeding period, and easy double cropping. To increase purchases by consumers, the sorghum variety must have health-related functions. To meet these demands, the 'Cheongpung' variety has been raised through net separation from the traditional species of the Chungbuk region as a sorghum variety that can be harvested by machine, have the highest yield in the country, and have the most abundant antioxidant content. The seed coat of ‘Cheongpung’ was reddish-brown, and had the characteristic of early maturation; it required only 107 days from sowing to harvest. Its culm length was 89 cm, the smallest among domestic cultivated varieties. It could also be harvested by machine without difficulty. Compared with the ‘Hwanggeumchal’ variety, the number of ear per plant in ‘Cheongpung’ was approximately 1.3, but each ear piece weighed 66.2 g, weighing 3.8 g, and the thousand-grain weight was 1.4 grams higher than the rough-grain weight. A local adaptation test in five regions nationwide for two years led to a ‘Cheongpung’ yield of 359 kg/10a, which was the highest among domestic cultivated varieties. In addition, the polyphenol content of ‘Cheongpung’ was 29% higher than that of ‘Hwanggeumchal’. (Registration No. 7717)

To satisfy the health needs of consumers and enhance the yields of producers, a grain crop ‘Cheongpungchal’ (Panicum miliaceum L.) with many common names, including proso millet, was collected from a landrace in Danyang, Chungbuk province and developed using a pure-line selection method. ‘Cheongpungchal’, which has a brown seed coat, has characteristics of a medium-maturing variety, requiring 102 days from sowing to harvesting. The variable growth characteristics included a stem length of 155 cm on average and length of ears 38.4 cm on average. As for the yield-related characteristics, the average number of spikes per plant was 3.8, the ear weight per plant was 11.8 g, and the rough millet thousand-grain weight averaged 5.17 g. The results of a regional adaptation test in 5 regions of Korea for three years revealed the yield of ‘Cheongpungcha’l to be 38% higher than that of the ‘Hwanggeumgijang’ variety, representing the best yield from among existing varieties. The total polyphenolic content of ‘Cheongpungchal’ was 32% higher than that of the ‘Hwanggeumgijang’ variety, and the antioxidant activity was 63% greater than that of ‘Hwanggeumgijang’. As a result of this research, ‘Cheongpungchal’ has been registered as a variety (grant number No. 6964) with the Korea Seed and Varieties Service in 2018 following filing for breed protection in 2016.
