농촌진흥청 국립원예특작과학원에서는 2007년 황색 겹꽃프리지아 품종 육성을 위한 목적으로’02년 2월에 ‘Golden Crown’과 ‘White Wing’ 조합의 실생계통과 ‘Yvonne’ 품종을 교배하여 연황색 다화성 품종 ‘Shiny Lemon’을 개발하였다. 2002년 2월 교배하여 300개의 종자를 획득하였으며, 실생으로부터 파종 7개월 후 화색이 선명한 연황색 다화성 겹꽃 우수개체를 1차로 선발하였다. 2003년부터 2006년까지 4년에 걸쳐

"Green Witch" 품종은 경남농업기술원 화훼연구소에서 녹색 폼폰형인 'SL04-161'을 모본, 분홍색 폼폰형인 'SL04-109'를 부본으로 인공교배를 실시하여 2004에서 2008년에 걸쳐서 파종과 계통선발을 통해 육성하였다. 품종의 특성검정은 2006년부터 2008년까지 봄 촉성재배와 가을 억제재배 조건 아래서 3회에 걸쳐 조사하였다. "Green Witch" 품종의 자연 개화기는 10월19일경으로 개화가 빠르며, 일장조절에 의해 주년재배가

A new spary chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum) cultivar ‘Pinky’ was bred from a cross between ‘Rima’ and ‘Yen’. Progenies were investigated from 2004 to 2006 under shading culture in spring and retarding culture in autumn and the promising line was selected based on the performance of year-round production, white rust resistance and vase life. Pinky flowered around 20 October, and year-round production was possible by shading and lighting. Its flower was 3.1 cm in diameter, and had 38.4 petals and 26.8 flowers per stem in autumn. Its petal was narrow (0.4 cm) and pink with green in color at the flower center. Days to flower from short-day start for ‘Pinky’ was about 47 in spring. ‘Pinky’ showed a vase life of 20.9 days in autumn. This cultivar was commercially registered in 2007. ‘Pinky’ would be suitable for culture under the greenhouse and rain shelter condition in Korea.

A new spray chrysanthemum cultivar, 'Plaisir D'Amour' was released by National Horticultural Research Institute (NHRI), Rural Development Administration (RDA), in 2006. The cross was made in 2003 between '01B1-355', a breeding line of NHRI and `01B1-440', a breeding line of NHRI. After evaluation for the characteristics including shading culture in summer and retarding culture in spring between 2004 and 2006, final selection was made. The natural flowering time of 'Plaisir D'Amour' is late October, but year-round flowering is possible by shading and illumination. It has single type flowers with mixed color by dark pink and white edged. It shows excellent flower setting and early blooming with multi-floret. The diameter of flower is 5.4 cm. The number of flowers per stem is 15.5 and number of petals per flower is 21.5. The days to flower under short day treatment is about 56 and its vase life is 21 days in autumn season.

A new single cross waxy corn (Zea mays L.) hybrid, “Jomichal” with white kernel was developed by the Maize Experiment Station (MES), Gangwon-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services (GARES) in 2005. This hybrid, which has early flowering, short-cul
