The sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) variety ‘Noeulchal’ was developed and registered by the Department of Southern Area Crop Science, National Institute of Crop Science, in 2019. This variety was developed from the cross between ‘RTx2907’, with white grain, and ’Sodamchal’, with brown grain and semi-dwarf traits. The yield performance of ‘Noeulchal’ was 3.71 MT/ha in a local adaptability test run for two years. It had a culm length of 93 cm, which is 11 cm longer than that of ‘Sodamchal’, a panicle length of 29 cm, a culm 22 mm thick, and a panicle exsertion of 9 cm. It could reduce the lodging problem experienced with current cultivars, and is also adapted to mechanized cultivation. ‘Noeulchal’ has a waxy endosperm with 3.2% amylose and contained high levels of rapidly digestible starch. The rapidly digestible starch with gluten-free flours could contribute to the development of foods with different properties (Registration No. 9105).
The sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) variety ‘Sodamchal’ was developed and registered by Department of Sothern Area Crop Science, National Institute of Crop Science (NICS) in 2013. This variety was developed from the cross between ‘Hwanggeumchal’ with brown grain and ’Jungmo4001’ with semi-dwarf trait. ‘Sodamchal’ is the first semi-dwarf stature with waxy endosperm ever developed in Korea. The yield performance of ‘Sodamchal’ was 2.95 MT/ha in local adaptability test for 2 years. It had 91 cm culm length, which was 58 cm shorter than that of ‘Hwanggeumchal’, 26.3 cm panicle length, 22.0 mm thickness of culm, 21.1 g in 1,000 grain weight. It could be reduce the lodging problem and also adapted to mechanized cultivation. ‘Sodamchal’ produces high quantities of polyphenol and radical scavenging activitiy with diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) in pigmented testa. Above all ‘Sodamchal’ is suitable for use as a parental source for the development of improved pollinator parent lines for developing semi-dwarf sorghum with waxy endosperm and antioxidant activity.

A new six-rowed hull-less barley cultivar ‘Boseokchal’ with high anthocyanin content and purple lemma was developed from the cross between ‘Chalssalbori’ and ‘Hamangunbuk Chalssalbori’ by National Institute of Crop Science, RDA in 2008. ‘Chalssalbori’ has good winter hardness, lodging tolerance, and cooking property and ‘Hamangunbuk Chalssalbori’ possess waxy endosperm and purple lemma. An elite line CNY121-B-94323 was selected in 2003 and designated as ‘Iksan 87’. It showed good agronomic performance in the regional yield trials (RYT) from 2006 to 2008 and was released with the name of ‘Boseokchal’ possessing high anthocyanin content and purple lemma waxy endosperm. The average heading and maturing dates of ‘Boseokchal’ were April 23 and May 29 in paddy field, which were one day earlier and same compare with those of the check cultivar ‘Saechalssalbori’ respectively. It had 87 cm of culm length and 5.0 cm of spike length. It showed 601 spikes per m2, 61 grains per spike, 29.0 g of 1,000-grain weight, and 780 g of test weight. ‘Boseokchal’ showed better resistance to BaYMV (Barley yellow mosaic virus) and higher water absorption rate and expansion rate than those of the check cultivar. Its average yield of the pearled grain in the regional yield trial was 3.44 MT/ha in upland, and 3.56 MT/ha in paddy field, which were 5% lower and 1% higher than those of the check cultivar, respectively. Anthocyanin content was 180 μg/g that was higher than that of the check cultivar.
