다양한 용도의 가공용 품종을 육성할 목적으로 1995년 하계에 아밀로스함량이 낮은 일품벼 변이체 Ilpum (MNU)-10-2-GH1-3을 모본으로 하고 양질 내도복성인 서안벼를 부본으로 교배하여 SR21716-30-2-3-1을 선발하여 '수원491호'로 계통명을 부여한 후 2003년-2005년 3개년 간 지역적응시험을 실시한 결과 그 우수성이 인정되어 2005년 12월 직무육성 신품종 선정위원회에서 국가목록등재품종으로 선정됨과 동시에 '백진주1호'로

본 연구는 모로베레칸의 잎도열병 저항성유전자를 탐색하고, 이 저항성유전자와 연관된 분자표지를 탐색하기 위해 수행되었다. 도열병에 이병성인 일품벼와 도열병에 강한 모로베레칸을 교잡하여 육성된 140개 BC3F3 계통을 도열병 균계 반응을 통한 저항성 유전자 탐색에 이용하였다.

Blast resistance of 18 rice cultivars which recommended as a high quality rice cultivars evaluated by blast nursery test, seedling test, and field screening and sequential planting methods. Sangmibyeo, Hwayeongbyeo, and Dongjin 1 were showed high resistance reaction to leaf blast at the blast nursery continuously, while Chucheongbyeo showed highest disease severity. All of the early maturing cultivars, Odaebyeo, Junghwabyeo, and Sangmibyeo, showed the lowest compatibility against 25 blast isolates. Saechucheongbyeo, a multiline variety of Chucheongbyeo genetic background showed 45.8%, half compatibility of 82.6% in Chucheongbyeo against 25 isolates screened. Diseased leaf areas (DLA, %) of cultivars were very low level at all test sites in the field test. Three cultivars, Sangmibyeo, Ilmibyeo, and Junghwabyeo didn’t show any leaf blast lesions across the test sites. The most variable incidences of panicle blast were observed on Odaebyeo which was 42.4%, 0.4%. and 0.0% at Jaecheon, Naju, and Chuncheon, respectively. In the sequential planting method, four rice cultivars, Nampyeongbyeo, Sindongjinbyeo, Hwayeongbyeo, and Junambyeo showed less than 40% disease leaf area (DLA) from 1st planting to 7th planting, so those cultivars were considered as a durable resistant rice cultivar against rice blast diseases.
