Wilczek) was derived from the cross between KM9003-2B-783 and Keumseong at the Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research ＆ Extension Services (JARES) in 2006. Daseon has erect growth habit, heart leaflet, greenish purple hypocotyl, black and straight pod when matured, and dull green seed surface. A thousand seed weight was 52 g, sprout yield ratio was 630%, and the anthocyanin (delphinidin 3-glucoside) of fresh sprouts contained 1.7 ug/g. The average plant height was 2 cm shorter than the check cultivar (Owool). It is field resistance to mungbean mottle virus, cercospora leaf spot, and powdery mildew. The average yield was 1.76 ton/ha, which was 21% more than check cultivar.
