In 2022, Jindami was developed as an early maturing mealy sweet potato variety. It was derived from a cross between Dahomi (IT309420) with early maturity and Jinyulmi (IT327287) with early maturity and good palatability. The storage roots of Jindami have a light-purple skin, yellow flesh, and a reverse-ovate shape. When steamed, Jindami storage roots exhibit a mealy texture and are tenderer than those of the check variety, Jinyulmi. The sugar content of steamed Jindami storage roots was 25.4 mg/100 g on a dry weight basis, which was 6.0% higher than that of Jinyulmi. The marketable yield of Jindami storage roots was 28.6 t/ha in the early-season production, which was 19.2% higher than that of Jinyulmi with high yield in the early-season production. Jindami is resistant to root-knot nematode and
‘Olnuri’ is a new variety of early ripening sweet persimmon obtained in 2006 by crossing the mid-ripening sweet persimmons ‘Shinshu’ and ‘Taishuu’ at Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services. Line selection among the seedlings of ‘Shinshu’ and ‘Taishuu’ hybrids was carried out in 2014, and detailed characteristic investigations on fruit quality and tree growth were conducted from 2018 to 2019. ‘Olnuri’ matured around September 24, an average of 25 days earlier than ‘Uenishiwase.’ The tree is semi-upright, and only female flowers bloom. The trees bear oblate fruits with orange skin. The average weight of the fruit is 280 g, which is significantly higher than that of ‘Uenishiwase’ (190 g). The soluble solids content is higher and the firmness is lower than that of ‘Uenishiwase.’ There is almost no apex splitting or calyx end cracking. The marketable fruit rate is 80.0%, which is lower than that of ‘Uenishiwase’ (91.2%, data not shown). In the future, as a fully ripened persimmon in late September, ‘Olnuri’ is expected to play a big role in creating the sweet persimmon market during the autumn harvest period (Registration No. 8917).
In 2020, ‘Sodammi’ was developed as a sweetpotato with a slightly moist texture, excellent palatability, and appearance. It was derived from a cross between ‘Hogammi’ (IT327288), which has a slightly moist texture and excellent palatability, and ‘Kyushu No. 121’ (IT309496), which has a yellow flesh and good appearance. The storage roots of ‘Sodammi’ have a purple-red skin, yellow flesh, and an ovate shape. ‘Sodammi’ storage roots exhibit a slightly moist texture and are more tender than those of the check variety ‘Jinhongmi’. The sweetness of steamed storage roots of ‘Sodammi’ was 19.1, which was 24.8% higher than that of ‘Jinhongmi’. Palatability of steamed storage of ‘Sodammi’ was better than that of ‘Jinhongmi’. The marketable storage root yield of ‘Sodammi’ was 19.6 MT/ha during the normal season culture. ‘Sodammi’ is moderately resistant to Fusarium wilt and root-knot nematodes. ‘Sodammi’ had very good storability, as there was almost no decay rate and no internal cavitation during long-term storage. Cultivation of the ‘Sodammi’ variety is expected to expand considerably, as it has characteristics favored by consumers, farmers, and distributors due to its excellent palatability, appearance, and storability (Registration No. 8789).

In 2019, ‘Bodeuremi’ was developed as a high-yielding sweetpotato variety with good palatability. It was derived from a cross between ‘MI2006-58-02’ with high yield and ‘Beniharuka’ (IT309504) with good palatability. The storage roots of ‘Bodeuremi’ have a red skin, light orange flesh, and an ovate shape. When steamed, ‘Bodeuremi’ storage roots exhibit a moist texture and are more tender than those of the check variety ‘Pungwonmi’. The sugar content of steamed ‘Bodeuremi’ storage roots was 33.4 mg/100 g dw, which was 6.0% higher than that of ‘Pungwonmi’. The marketable yield of ‘Bodeuremi’ storage roots was 30.3 MT/ha in the early season culture, which was 4.5% higher than that of ‘Pungwonmi’ with high yield in the early season culture. ‘Bodeuremi’ is resistant to root-knot nematode and moderately resistant to Fusarium wilt. ‘Bodeuremi’ is expected to contribute to increased income of sweetpotato growers as it has high cultivation stability and can be shipped at a time when the market price is high owing to its high yield in the early cultivation.
In order to select sweetpotato varieties with excellent tip characteristics, we investigated the appearance, yield, and functional compounds in 32 domestic sweetpotato varieties. During the cultivation period, the total production of sweetpotato tips among the different variety ranged from 1,780 to 9,923 g/m2, with that of the Gogeonmi variety being the highest. The lutein content among varieties ranged from 21.7 to 47.0 mg/100 g and was highest in the Juhwangmi variety, whereas the ß-carotene content ranged from 25.5 to 183.4 mg/100 g and was highest in the Hayanmi variety. The total polyphenol content ranged from 30.7 to 74.4 mg CAE/g, and it was high in the Pungwonmi, Daeyumi, and Dahomi varieties at 74.4, 73.8, and 72.9 mg CAE/g, respectively, whereas the DPPH radical scavenging activity of tips ranged from 88.6% to 91.6%, with Gogeonmi and Healthymi showing the highest value of 91.6%. ABTS radical scavenging activity was found to be lowest in the Yeonjami variety at 86%, whereas the remaining 31 varieties showed values in excess of 96%. ABTS radical scavenging activity showed a high positive correlation with total polyphenol content. On the basis of these analyses, we identified Juhwangmi with high lutein content, Hayanmi with high beta-carotene content and high yield, and Gogeonmi with high DPPH radical scavenging activity and high yield, as being suitable varieties for tip cultivation. We anticipate that these sweetpotato varieties with excellent tip characteristics will be used as parents for the breeding of varieties for vegetable use.

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).

In order to investigate salt-tolerant sorghum germplasms that can grow in saline soil from newly reclaimed land, we measured a well-established germination rate, and growth characteristics including leaf number, height, and root length in salt-treatment conditions (0.3, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.2%) and untreated control. The highly salt-tolerant sorghum line was confirmed using PCA (principal component analysis) analysis and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. Germination rate gradually decreased at doses higher than 0.3%, but the germination rates reached about 70% in IT124115, IS1041, Dansusu4ho, and Dansusu2ho germplasms. At 0.6% salt-treatment condition, the germination rates ranged from 35% to 100%. Only seven germplasms (IT103274, IT101381, IT104110, Dansusu4ho, IS20740, IS22720, and IS27887) had germination rates exceeding 50% at 0.8% salt-treatment. At 1.2% salt-treatment IT124115, IT028385, and IS1041 withered. The total number of leaves decreased similarly for both germplasms at salt levels below 0.6%, and sweet sorghum leaf count was more susceptible than grain sorghum at doses higher than 0.8%. In addition, the height of both germplasms was severely reduced even at low salt concentrations, whereas grain sorghum exhibited a greater sensitivity to salinity stress in terms of root length, while sweet sorghum had longer roots at low concentrations when compared with the untreated control. PCA analysis and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation showed that 29 sorghum accessions could be divided into 3 groups based on the germination rate and morphological traits. Especially, sweet sorghum accessions showed a different pattern of PCA plot when compared with the grain sorghum, and salt tolerance could be divided into 5 groups using MFV in terms of their traits. Taken together, the results from this work will contribute to the development of domestic agriculture utilizing marginal land such as reclaimed land by selecting elite sorghum germplasms that have a high salt tolerance and capacity.
