‘oamibyeo’ a mid-late maturing ecotype with high amylose content in kernels, was developed by the rice breeding team of National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station(NYAES) in 2000 and released in 2001. This variety was derived from the three way cross of Milyang 95//Kimcheonaengmi/2*Ilpumbyeo (in 1992 summer) through the pedigree breeding method and designated as ‘ilyang 168’in 1997. The heading date of ‘oamibyeo’was Aug. 18 in ordinary season with culm length of 85 cm. However, ‘oamibyeo’showed susceptible to bacterial leaf blight, stripe virus and leaf blast disease. The amylose content of ‘oamibyeo’in milled rice kernels is about 26.7% with translucent and clear in chalkness. Thus, ‘oamibyeo’is expected to be used as a source grain for rice noodle industries. The milled rice yield potential of ‘oamibyeo’is about 5.38 MT/ha in local adaptability test of three years and it would be adaptable to Yeongnam plain of Korea.
