A new six-rowed naked waxy barley variety, ‘Saehanchal’, was developed by the barley breeding team of the National Institute of Crop Science (NICS), R.D.A. This variety was derived from a cross between ‘SB7803G-BC6-B-B-47-2’ and ‘Suwon262’ in 1989. The fi
‘Taegang’ is a new six-rowed covered barley cultivar developed by the National Institute of Crop Science (NICS), R.D.A. This cultivar is developed from a cross between ‘Suwon287’ and ‘Olbori’ in 1992. An F8 selection was made at NCES in 2000 and it was te
Suwon295 at the Honam Agricultural Research Institute (HARI) in 2005. An elite line, 953017-BG-BN-BN-53N, was selected in2000 and designated as Milyang126. It showed good agronomic performance in the regional adaptation yield trials (RYT) from2003 to 2005
‘Okjeon’ rye (Secale cereale L.) was developed by the National Crop Experiment Station (NCES). It was released in 2001 because of its excellent earliness and yield potential. ‘Okjeon’ was developed from an open pollination with 20 rye lines in 1984. Subse
Diversity and relatedness of 64 rice accessions were evaluated using 85 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) markers. These64 accessions represent a set of international and Korean blast diferential cultivars, a set of blast monogenic lines, donors of blastresi
A new malting barley cultivar, “Sinho”, with a resistant gene (rym5) to barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) was developed by the barley breeding team of National Crop Experiment Station (NCES), RDA in 1999. This cultivar was derived from the cross between
“Jaeanchal” is a new six-rowed, naked and waxy barley cultivar developed by National Crop Experiment Station (NCES), RDA in 2001. This cultivar was derived from a cross between “Suwon261” and “SB881115-6” in 1989. The final selection was made at NCES in 1
Sanglog', a new covered barley cultivar resistant to powdery mildew and barley yellow m osaic virus (BaYMV) was developed by the barley breeding team of the National Crop Experim ent Station (NCES), RDA in 1999. This variety was derived from a cross betwe
A new two-rowed naked waxy barley cultivar, 'Pungsanchal', was developed for split polished grains by the National Crop Experiment Station(NCES), RDA in 2001. This cultivar was derived f rom a cross between 'SB901258GG-B' and 'Suwon212' in 1991. The f ina
Through earlier breeding efforts, portions of the genome of the wild species Oryza grandiglumis (2n=48) have been introgressed into the rice cultivar, Hwaseongbyeo (Oryza sativa spp. japonica). Hwaseongbyeo was used as recurrent parent and O. grandiglumis
An efficient system of rice microspore culture could contribute to the production of genetically modified rice. The microspores were isolated by mechanical or shed methods. The number of microspores per 100 anthers isolated at uninucleate stage was higher than (or similar to) those at binucleate stage in isolation method with pestle or spatular, but microspore divisions were not easily observed on both stages. On the other hand, pollen division in shed pollen culture was observed more frequently at uninuclear than at binuclear stage. Cold pretreatment at 10~circC for 10 days resulted in the best multicellular division to produce microcalli at 12.5% efficiency in shed microspores. Heat shock at 33~circC for one hour before or after pollen shedding enhanced cell division and callus formation. Out of twelve green regenerants, two were haploids and ten were diploids based on the chromosome analysis of root tips. The size of stoma was 12m m in haploids and 15 ~mu~textrmm in diploids determined by scanning electron microscope (SEM).
