황해쑥(Artemisia argyi)의 육성 품종 ‘평안애’는 수량성, 도복 저항성 및 기능성 성분 함량이 우수한 약용작물로 육성하기 위해 개발되었다. 본 품종은 황해쑥 수집종(MPR-0506)을 방임 수분하여 얻은 집단으로부터 계통선발법을 통해 선발되었으며, 생육특성이 우수한 계통 AA1903을 선발한 후 생산력 및 지역적응성 검정을 거쳐 육성되었다. ‘평안애’는 직립형 초형을 가지며 대비종(황해쑥 재래종)에 비해 줄기가 굵어 도복에 강하고, 엽비율이 높은 특성을 보였다. 지역적응성 시험 결과, 건엽 수량은 대비종보다 약 2배 높은 수량성을 나타내었다. 또한 진딧물 저항성 평가에서 보통의 저항성을 보였다. 유효성분 분석 결과, 개화 전 eupatilin 함량이 상대적으로 높았다. RAW264.7 대식세포를 이용한 생리활성 평가에서 물 추출물이 에탄올 추출물에 비해 낮은 세포 독성을 나타내었고, 두 추출물 모두 LPS에 의해 유도된 산화질소 생성을 유의적으로 억제하였으며, 에탄올 추출물이 더 강한 억제 효과를 보였다. ‘평안애’는 뿌리줄기를 활용한 영양번식으로 증식되며, 품종보호권(등록번호 제398호)으로 등록되었다. 본 품종은 우수한 농업적 특성과 기능성 성분 안정성을 갖추어 약용작물로서의 재배 및 산업적 활용 가능성이 높은 품종으로 판단된다.

An Artemisia argyi cultivar, designated ‘Pyeong-an-ae’, was developed to enhance yield, lodging resistance, and functional compound content for medicinal use. The breeding objective was to select a high-yielding cultivar with improved agronomic performance and regional adaptability. The breeding material originated from an open-pollinated population of a collected accession (MPR-0506), and superior lines were selected through pedigree selection. Line AA1903 was selected for favorable growth traits and subsequently evaluated in yield and regional adaptation trials under the designation Y-MCD-007-1 in Eumseong-gun and Pyeongchang-gun, Korea. ‘Pyeong-an-ae’ exhibited an erect growth habit, thicker stems, and a larger leaf area than the control (Artemisia argyi landrace), resulting in enhanced lodging resistance and biomass production. The average dry leaf yield was 535 kg/10a, approximately two-fold higher than that of the control. The cultivar maintained relatively higher levels of eupatilin than the control before flowering. RAW264.7 macrophage-based bioactivity assays showed that the water extract exhibited lower cytotoxicity than the ethanol extract. Both extracts significantly inhibited LPS-induced nitric oxide production, with the ethanolic extracts exhibiting stronger inhibitory effects. ‘Pyeong-an-ae’ is vegetatively propagated and registered under Plant Variety Protection No. 398. Its superior agronomic traits, stable bioactive compound contents, and functional properties support its potential for commercial cultivation and medicinal applications.
