"금오3호"는 소득작물 전 후작에 적응하는 벼를 육성하고자, 1997년 국립식량과학원 기능성작물부에서 내도복성인 농안벼에 내만식성인 신금오벼가 여교배된 F_1 개체에 도열병에 저항성이고 단기성인 YR15727-B-B-B-102 계통을 교배하여 YR19124 조합을 작성 하였다. 이후 집단 및 계통육종법으로 YR19124-B-B-B-69-3 계통을 선발하고 밀양201호라는 계통명으로 지역적응성검정 시험에 공시한 결과, 그 주요특성과 수량성은 다음과 같다
A new rice cultivar "Keumo 3" was developed for adopting under double cropping system with after or before cash crop cultivation. It was selected from the cross-combination between YR17202 F_2/Shinkeumobyeo//YR15727-B-B-B-102. The parent, YR17202 F_2 individual plant, was used for tolerance to lodging, it derived from a cross between Nonganbyeo/Shinkeumobyeo. Nonganbyeo is well known to lodging tolerance cultivar, as well as biotic stress, because it was developed by crossing with Tongil type. And the YR15727-B-B-B-102 line used as another parent with short growth duration, likewise highly resistance to rice blast disease. The pedigree derived from the cross-combination YR17202 F_2/Shinkeumobyeo//YR15727-B-B-B-102 were generated to F_7, and a best line among them named as Milyang 201. After a series of yield trials, including local adaptability test conducted throughout the peninsular of Korea, Milyang 201 was registered with the name of "Keumo 3" in 2005. The cultivar belongs to a early maturing group and heads 4 days earlier than Keumobyeo, a standard cultivar. It has short culm, and less spikelet number per panicle than Keumobyeo. However, its milled rice yield grown under extremely late transplanting time, 10. July, over the 3 local sites for 2003-2005 years, averaged 4,48 MT/ha, which is 6% higher than the standard, Keumobyeo. "Keumo 3" has showed a durable resistance to leaf blast disease during fourteen blast nurseries screening covered from south to north in Korea for 2003-2007 years. And it was confirmed harbours pi-zt, a durable blast resistance gene. Moreover it was incompatible with 19 blast isolates under artificial inoculation, except one isolate, K1101. Additionally, "Keumo 3" exhibits resistance to K_1, K_2 and K_3 of bacterial blight pathogen, as well as strip virus disease resistance, and moderate resistance to dwarf virus disease. Consequently, the new rice cultivar "Keumo 3" would be well adopted where a bio stress makes a big problem annually.
