A white sesame variety ‘Nuri (Sesamum indicum L.)’ with resistance to Phytophthora blight disease was developed in 2016. It was derived from a cross between ‘Suwon 131’ and ‘Yangbaek’ in 1999. ‘Nuri’ has few branches and triple capsules per node. Notably, ‘Nuri’ exhibited resistance to Phytophthora blight and Fusarium wilt and a yield of approximately 1.19 tons per hectare, 17% higher than that of ‘Kopoom’. ‘Nuri’ presented a crude fat content of 49.0% and protein content of 26.1%. Thus, this variety would contribute to increased sesame production. (Registration no. 7889).

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is a traditional oil seed crop grown in Korea. Sesame cultivation in Korea, however, is difficult and the yield is still very low. As such, a sesame variety, ‘Yoomi,’(Sesamum indicum L.) with disease resistance and high yield was developed in 2012. It was obtained by crossing ‘Yangbaek’ and SIG950480-6-3-1 in 2001. ‘Yoomi’ has few branches and a triple capsule per node. Notably ‘Yoomi’ exhibited a resistance to Phytophthora blight disease and a lodging resistance in the field. The yield of ‘Yoomi’ was about 1.06 ton per hectare, 8% higher than that of ‘Yangbaek’. ‘Yoomi’ crude fat content was 49.7%, and lignan content was 6.62 mg/g. This variety will contribute to increasing sesame production in Korea and will be utilized in sesame breeding programs.
