"홍영"은 2003년 "대서" 품종과 AG34314 계통 간의 교잡후대에서 유래되었으며, 고령지농업연구소의 감자육종 프로그램을 거쳐 선발되었다. 2006년과 2007년 대관1-102호라는 계통명으로 지역적응시험을 수행하여 주요 생육특성, 괴경특성, 수량성 및 병해특성을 평가하였으며, 2007년 "홍영"으로 명명하여 국립종자관리원에 신품종으로 원하였다. "홍영" 감자는 모양이 둥글고 눈이 얕으며 껍질과 속이 모두 홍색이다. ha당 평균 수량은 37.4톤이
"Hongyoung" was bred within the potato breeding program of National Institute of Highland Agriculture (NIHA). It was originated from a cross made between Atlantic as a female and AG34314 as a male parent in 2003. "Hongyoung" was evaluated as a clone number Daegwan 1-102 for the growth and tuber characteristics, yielding ability, and resistance to major diseases in the regional yield trials from 2006 to 2007. Finally, this clone was renamed as "Hongyoung" and was presented to Korean Seed & Variety Service in 2007 for registration as a new potato cultivar. "Hongyoung" has a round shape, shallow eye depth, red skinned and fleshed tuber characteristics. Its mean tuber yields from the regional yield trials was 37.4 MT/ha, and it showed the highest yield in spring cropping. "Hongyoung" showed high resistance to common scab (Streptomyces scabies) and potato leaf roll virus (PLRV), however it was susceptible to both potato virus Y (PVY) and late blight (Phytophthora infestans). The dry matter content of "Hongyoung" was low to medium 17.7%, therefore it is suitable for table use. Its anthocyanin content was the highest in autumn cropping with 31.8 mg/100g fresh weight and it contained 3.6 times higher anthocyanin than the control, Jasim.
