‘대유미’는 국립식량과학원 바이오에너지작물센터에서 2008년에 육성한 바이오에탄올용 고구마 신품종으로 주요 특성과 수량성을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 넝쿨색은 녹색, 잎모양은 심장형, 잎색은 녹색을 띤다. 또한 엽맥색은 녹색으로 자색을 포함하지 않으며, 끝잎색은 녹색, 잎자루색은 녹색이다. 2. 괴근 모양은 방추형으로 껍질색은 홍색을 띤다. 육색은 대조품종 ‘율미’가 담홍색인데 비하여 농황색이다. 상품성을 좌우하는 표피의 형태는 골파짐이 없이 메끄럽다
A new sweetpotato variety, ‘Daeyumi’, was developed by Bioenergy Crop Research Center, National Institute of Crop Science (NICS), RDA in 2008. This variety was obtained from the cross between ‘Jinhongmi’ and ‘Xusju 18’ in 2000. The seedling and line selections were performed from 2001 to 2003, preliminary and advanced yield trials were carried out from 2004 to 2005, and the regional yield trials were conducted at six locations from 2006 to 2008. ‘Daeyumi’ has cordate leaf, green vine and petiole, elliptic storage root, red skin and yellow flesh color of storage root. This variety is also resistant to Fusarium wilt and nematode. The starch value was 25.9%, ethanol yield was 418 L/Ton, which was 7% higher than that of ‘Yulmi’ variety, and the total sugar content was 2.47 g/100g, dry weight. ‘Daeyumi’s initial temperature of starch gelatinization was lower, 76.2℃, and the retrogradation process was earlier than ‘Yulmi’. The average yield of storage root was 27.8 ton/ha in the regional yield trials, which was 36% higher than that of ‘Yulmi’ variety. Number of storage roots over 50 gram per plant was 3.0, and the average weight of one storage root was 152 gram. This variety can be used for the production of bioethanol and starch processing.
