‘강흑깨’는 2003년에 국립작물과학원에서 육성한 품종으로 다수성 계통인 S8826을 모본으로 하고 내병성 강한 S190033’의 F1에 복합내재해성인 ‘SB764’를 교잡하여 육성한 품종으로 표준품종에 비하여 역병 및 도복 저항성이 강하고 수량성이 높으면서 총 아미노산 및 리그난 함량이 많은 다수성 고품질 품종이다. 경장은 119 cm이고, 주당 삭수는 70개이다. 1,000립중은 2.63 g이고 기름함량은 표준품종보다 약 1.7%가 높은 47.1%이다. 총 아미노산 함량은 14.2 g/100 g 으로 표준품종보다 약 5%가 높으며 리그난 함량도 3.2 mg/g으로 표준품종 보다 약 15% 정도 높은 고품질 품종이다. ‘강흑깨’의 평균수량은 지역적응시험결과 95 kg/10a이었다.
A new sesame variety ‘Kangheuk’ was developed from National Institute of Crop Science in 2003. A cross was made F1 line of ‘S8826’ with high yields capacity, ‘SI90033’ with disease resistance and ‘SB764’ with lodging and disease resistance, followed by pedigree selection, yield test and regional yied trial by the sesame breeding team at the National Institute of Crop Science im 2003. ‘Kangheuk’ showed higher lodging and phytophthora blight disease resistance in contrast to the check variety ‘Yangheuk’. Average stem length and the number of capsules per plant were 119cm, 70 respectively. It’s 1000 grains weight was about 2.63 g indicating 0.12 g lower than that of ‘Yangheuk’, and it’s oil content was about 47.1% which is about 1.7% higher than that of check variety. ‘Kangheuk’ also contained 4.9 g/100 g of essential amino acids as well as 3.13 mg/g of lignan compound which are 17% and 15% higher than that of check variety respectively. ‘Kangheuk’ showed more resistance of multi-disaster resistance such as lodging and phytophthora blight disease. The average yield of ‘Kangheuk’ was 95 kg per 10a at the national-wide regional performance showing 11% higher than that of check variety.
