‘'Hwangkeumnuri’' is a japonica rice variety developed and registered by the rice breeding team of Honam Agricultural Research Institute, NICS, RDA in 2006. This variety was derived from a cross between ‘'Milyang 165’' (Junambyeo) with good quality and high yield and HR14732-B-67-2-3 with multi-disease resistance. This variety has about 125 days growth duration from transplanting to harvesting in west-southern coast, Honam and Youngnam plain of Korea. It is about 76 cm in culm length and tolerance to lodging. In reaction to biotic and abiotic stresses, it shows resistance to blast, bacterial blight pathogen from K1 to K3 and stripe virus, but susceptible to other major diseases and insect pests. The milled rice of ‘'Hwangkeumnuri’' exhibits translucent, relatively clear non-glutinous endosperm and midium short grain. It has similar amylose content of 18.9% and lower protein content of 6.2%, and good palatability of cooked rice compared with ‘'Nampyeongbyeo’'. The milled rice yield performance of this variety is about 5.74 MT/ha in local adaptability test for three years. ‘'Hwangkeumnuri’' would be adaptable to west-southern coast, Honam and Yeongnam plain of Korea.
